BIG wARsHIP AGAIN IN PORT.
Cruiser New York Arrives from
Puget Sound After Stormy
Passage.

The United States cruiser New York,
Captain ]. ]. Hunker, which is going
to Panama to serve as flagship for Rear
Admiral Glass, arrived yesterday from
Puget Sound and will resume her
southerly way probably on Saturday.
Shortly after reaching her anchorage,
off Clay street wharf, the New York's
batteries barked a salute Of thirteen
guns as a compliment to Rear Admiral
Whiting, the commandant of the Yerba
Buena naval training station.
The New York has been at the Brem-
erton navy yard for four months un-
dergoing extensive repairs to her boil
ers and machinery. She came down in
three days through some of the rough
est weather her officers have eXpe-
rienced on her. So rough was ii that
sitting down to meals was an impos-
sibiIity and breakfasts, luncheons and
dinners were taken standing and on the
hand out" plan.
The tugs Unadilla and Active will ar
rive from Mare Island this morning
with baggage and supplies for the
cruiser. Five hundred tons of coal will
be brought from Mare Island on light
ers for the New York and the torpedo
boats Preble and Paul Jones. It is
probable the cruiser and torpedo boats
will be able to get away tomorrow or
Friday for Panama.
Lieutenant Commander j., S. K.
Reeves, who has been attached to the
New York for a long time as fleet engi-
neer, will leave the cruiser before she
sails and proceed to Washington, where
he has been detailed for duty on the
Board of Inspection and Survey. Lieu
tenant Commander H. E. Gage will
succeed him on the New York. Pay
Inspector r. w. T. Ball has also been

BOGOTA, Friday, Dec. 1S.-Patriotic

The Government and the people hope
that the United States Congress will
avoid a conflict and they rely upon the
fairness of the American press.
DIR. Luis Carlos Rico, Minister of For
eign Affairs, has cabled to General
Reyes at Washington under date of
December as follows:
IF the explanation the United States
Government has given to the press is
Of diplomatic character answer clear
ing the following points:
by the treaty of 1S46 the United
States did not acquire control over in
teroceanic transit, but entered into OBJ
legations by which, for compensatory
favors. it guaranteed the neutrality of
property and sovereignty of the 18TH
mus. the sovereignty being indivisible
IF the United States Government
prevents the Government of Colombia
from subduing the rebels, then it ought
to submit them to Colombian authority.
"The United States has never pro-
tected Colombia against foreign inva-
sions. Whenever that Government has
interfered TO prevent the interruption
of traffic il has been because of the
rights granted or on Colombia's request
only. Only in this instance has it in
terfered on it's own initiative. with the
evident object of protecting the seces-
sionists on the isthmus.
'If the guarantee of neutrality were
to be looked upon as a privilege 1t
would prevent the sovereign govern
ment from keeping order on the 18TH

Government Advises Against
Arrest of Railroad Crews for
Responsibility for Wrecks

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-Complaints
having reached the State Department
from many sources during the last
few years that American citizens en-
ployed in various capacities on the rail-
roads OF Mexico frequently had been
arrested and imprisoned in that repub-
lie on charges Of criminal negligence
in railway wrecks, homicides, etc, and
held for long periods without trial. the
United States ambassador for Mexico
was directed by Secretary Hay to eX-
anime into these cases and bring the
subject to the attention Of the Mexican
Government. with a view TO anchor
ating the conditions which appeared TO
exist.
As a consequence of ambassador
Clayton's representations to the Mexi-
can Foreign Office an important cir
cular letter has been issued by the
Mexican Department Of Justice and
sent % the District and Circuit courts
throughout that republic, advising
against the arrest and Imprisonment
Of such railway employees. except on

recting them in all cases to expedite
the judicial proceedings. Provision is
made for the release Of the accused on
bail whenever the nature of the offense
will permit il.
Embsssador Clayton has reported to
the Department Of State that Of forty
three cases Of American railway men
arrested since June, 1901, thirty-ei
have been disposed of. and in three Of
the remaining five the men who were
released on bail fed TO the United
States. In two instances only are pro-
ceedings still pending.
II is observed that Of the fortythree
persons arrested fourteen were arrested
for offenses not connected with the
movement of trains, and the percent
age Of arrests of Americans employed
in Mexico is only .033. while that of

IEUROPE APPROVES AMERICAS PANAMA
POLICY AND COLOMBIA MUST YIELD
Arbitration at The
Hague Is Out of
Question.
Bogota Will Have
to Recognize the
New Republic.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-''Refusal
by the United States to consent to
proposition from Colombia for a refer
ence of the Panama question to The
Hague tribunal is expected and will be
fully approved by the European pow
ers''
This statement was made tonight
by European ambassador of high
rank 1t has already been made in
substance. though in rather more dip
lomatic language, to General Rafael
Reyes the Colombian Minister, who isl
expected in his forthcoming note to the
State Department to suggest The
Hague tribunal as the proper place
for the settlement of the isthmian
problem. Whether the knowledge that
the refusal of such a request, so far
from prejudicing the European powers
against the Washington Government,
will call forth their emphatic indorse
ment. will cause General Reyes to
modify his note, is not yet certain.
The ambassador quoted. in explain
ing the attitude of the European pow
ers, said:
Panama is a closed chapter in the
history Of nations, and The Hague
court is not the place for settled ques-
tions, but for pending problems, which
are referred to ii with the approval of
all the parties interested. When Rus
sia. Germany and France recognized
the independence of Panama they set
their seal of approval on the prompt
action of the Washington Government
70 ors,r, fkao n
maintain the independence of the re-
public it had previously recognized.
Nations can hardly be expected to
settle questions of sovereignty or ma
tional honor at The Hague. Moreover,
in my opinion, it would not be within
the province. of the Washington Gov
ernment to grant such a request from
Colombia. It is TO Panama, not to
Washington, that Colombia should take
such a proposition.
There is, however, a question be-
tween Colombia and Panama which
with all propriety might be referred to
The Hague and to which reference the
United States will scarcely offer OBJ
lection. 1t is the question of the as
sumption by Panama OF a part of the
Colombian debt. If General Reyes
should ask the United States to use its
good Offices to have this matter brought
before The Hague, Panama might safe
ly acquiesce in such proposition. The
difficulty in making this request would
be that Colombia thereby woald recog-
nize the independence OF the new re-
public. but this must come sooner or
later
At the Navy Department the state
ment is made tonight that the instruc-
tions to the naval commander in 18TH
mian waters to prevent the landing of
forces with hostile intent" have not
been modified. These instructions are
sufficiently comprehensive to enable the
commanders to maintain open transit
across the isthmus and to protect the
new republic from Colombian expedi-
tiOns

Great Pleasure at Termina-

EXECUTIVES GOOD WORK
Disposal of Property Inaugu-

ST. PAUL, Dec. 22.-Archbishop Ire
land received to-day, under date of
December 22. a cabhegram from Mon
signor Guidi. Apostolic Delegate to the
Philippines, announcing that the last
touch had just been put on the con-
tract between the United States Gov
ernment of the islands and the church
for the purchase of the friar lands in
the islands and inviting the Arch
bishop to rejoice with him on the
happy conclusion of the negotiations.
Referring to the cablegram Archbishop
Ireland said:
Il want to add to this my expression
of great pleasure at the termination Of
the long-drawn negotiations by the
sale of these lands in the Philippines
All praise must be awarded to Gov
ernor Taft and Monsignor Guidi, who
have labored hard to bring all parties
interested in this matter to a final
understanding. From the time of the
arrival of Monsignor Guidi in the ISL
ands there has been the warmest
friendship between him and the Phil
ippine Government. The disposal of
the lands, together with the arrival of
the American Bishops in the islands.
puts an end to all political religious
controversies in the Philippines and
inaugurates there an era of civil and
religious peace.
THE administration of President
Roosevelt is to be congratulated on the
present condition of things in the ISL
ands. 1t was his wisdom and fore
thought that caused Governor Taft,
some eighteen months ago, to visit
Rome and talk directly with the head
of the church about the friar lands
matter Pope Leo and Governor Taft
showed themselves to be of one mind
as to the main lines Of the policy to be
followed. The negotiations then begun
in Rome were afterward transferred to
the Philippines, where Mgr. Guidi con-
tinued the prudent and far-sighted pol
icy of his master, Pope Leo XIII.
That henceforward the church in the
islands will be well taken care of
Catholics and Protestants may conf
IDENTIFY believe. The Americans now
presiding over the sees in the islands
will know what course will be the
best and will follow that course.
I'VE in the States may leave to them
the interests of religion as we leave to
Governor Wright, Governor Taft's sue
cessor, the interests of civil govern
ment. All agitation and anxiety re-
garding church matters in the islands
now ceases and we are all glad that
