CAUGHT NEGRO THIEF.
Stole a Bicycle in Durham and Came
to Raleigh.

Sergeant j. M. eagle, of the Dur
ham police staff, was in the city yes
terday, and when he returned to Dur
ham in the afternoon he carried back
with him Eugene Bradcher, a negro
who shook the dust of Durham from
his feet Tuesday, and jumped a train,
incidentally having with him a stolen
bicycle and came to Raleigh. But
the local authorities had been notified
of the theft, and given a close de-
scription of the negro, and he had
hardly met a half dozen of his local
acquaintances before he was detected,
with the wheel, and both were carried
by the vigilant officer to the city Jail,
where the negro moaned and groaned,
and wished he had not done it, until
the Durham chief had been notified
and despatched Sergeant eagle to get
the dafkey, and he had been returned
to those who wanted him.
The thief is young, being only TWEEN
ty-one years of age, and has volun-
teered his services to the roads of
Durham county at an opportune time.

PANAMA AND C0LoMBIA.

There seems to be some mlsapprehensloh %
to existing relations between the repuDIcs u
Panama and Colombia. 1t has been SAID that
negotiations are in progress for the adjustment
of their financial affairs, and that Panama mas
indicated willingness to pay, as her falr SNARE
a large part of CoIombia's public debt Ihere
is excellent authority for saying that such is
not the case Any negotiations that may now
be in progress cannot be for the immediate
making of such a settlement, but merely for
the establishment of relations In which the
Initiation of negotiations for such q settlement
will be possible
The fundamental fact in the case Is this: Ihat
Colombia-alone of all the nations of the WorIn
has not yet recognized the independence and
sovereignty of Panama. So long as such recog
milton is withheld negotiations between the two
countries. or between other countries In their
behalf, are obviously impossible, excepting sucn
as are directed toward the giving and securing
of such recognition. We can scarcely imagine
CoOmbia's asking a financial settlement from
state whose existence she does not recognize.
We cannot conceive Panama's offering to pay
q large sum to a state which refuses to recog-
nize Panama as a sovereign power. Long ago
it officially declared in behalf of Panama
that as Colombia should recognize Pan
aman independence Panama would enter into
negotiations for the amicable settlement Of all
issues between them. We assume that that
declaration still stands good.
1t may be that Colombia has a valid claim
against Panama, in morals If not in law, for
the latter's assumption of a share Of the debt
which before the separation rested upon the
whole country. We do not know that Panama
has ever disputed the fact On pro rata basis
however, Panamas share would be a much
smaller one than has been suggested in recent
dispatches. There is, moreover, a possibility
that Panama will be able. when the time Of
adjustment comes, to present equally valid
counter claims against the Bogota government
TO an equal or even a greater amount. That
remains to be seen. But that Panama is
gratuitously offering TO assume large part of
Colombia's debt, without consideration of coun-
ter claims and without Colombian recognition
Of Panaman independence is not to be believed

OURA'S TREATIES.

Ouha, as an independent nation. is being seri-
suslv REGARDED by the world. That gratifying
fact is N de evident by current proceedings A
few years ago the opinion was commonly ex-
messed that the island, when deprived of Amer
lean control, would fall into civic chaos, and
that its only chance Of future Importance and
prosperity lay IN an American protectorate or
annexa ton Now, after nearly three and half
wears Of self-government, the insular republic
has surpassed the expectations Of its friends
and refuted the forebodings OF it's critics, and
has so well established itself IN political and
commercial integrity that the great powers Of
the world are soliciting treaties with it and are
earnestly seeking to be treated by it as the
~rnost favored nations" Nearly a year and a
half ago. It appears. Italy made such a treaty
with Cuba and a similar one has just been
made by Great Britain and is now awaiting
ratification at Havana All this is gratifying
as an indication Of Cuba's stability and prog
ress; but there is In it a suggestion Of the need
Of circumspection. in order that embarrassing
complications may be avoided.
The United States does not of course, assume
to dictate Cuba's foreign policy or to NEEDLE
with her foreign relations. To certain extent,
howeyer Cuba is under obligation to defer to
1he advice or authority of this country. The
J51a+t Amendment, which is a part Of the SUI
orene law Of the island. provides that 1.-The
Government OF Cuba snail never enter into any
.4rea+v or other compact with any foreign
..novver or powers which will impair or tend to
..;rnnair the independence of Cuba, nor in any
..roanner authorize or permit any foreign power
.s,r movers to obtain by colonization for mil
.-starv or naval purposes, or otherwise lodge
..raon4 in or control over any portion OF said
..3elan7 II does not appear that the Cuban
treaty with Italy IN any way raVerses that pro-
vision. and we do not suppose that the pending
treaty with Great Britain does so, either. New
arfheless it would not be improper for the
limited States government to scrutinize these
and other treaties for complete assurance mat
they accord with both the letter and the spirit
or the Plat Amendment
There can be no objection TO Cubas guaran-
teeIng 70 Italy or to Great Britain all the rights
and privileges Of the most favored nation
provided the United States be excepted. THIS
country occupies and VIII insist upon maintain
ing q peculiar and exclusive relationship to
Cuba, which is not 10 be enjoyed by any other.
Ii is only fitting that such shall be the case. in

MATER SUPPLY PLANS

The Mayors water commission has prepared
plans for an Increase Of the city's supply with
commendabIe promptness, and the amount of
increase contemplated is In reasonable accord
ance with the city'S needs. The provision for
fltering station and plant will probably be re-
garded as Judicious. Certainly the recent rev.
Citations Of contamination indicate the desira-
blity of filtration. for the sake of cleanliness if
not of health, and while some glarlng nui-
sances could be and should be abated and the
Croton supply thus be freed from much pol
luton, there can be little hope OF maintaining
the streams and lakes IN so densely populated
a region as Westchester and Putnam counties,
and indeed in the Catskills also. in a state Of
pristine purity. The only recourse, then, seems
to be to filtration
Concerning certain details OF the commission
ers' report, however, some surprise will be felt
and it is not improbable that dissent will be ex-
pressed unless some pretty convincing argu-
ments in their support are Forthcoming. Thus
we are told a terminal distributing reser-
yoir is to be built In Yonkers and an enormous
storage reservoir is to be built at Kens!co. It
will be surprise to many people that these
are deemed necessary. The supposition has
been that the Jerome Park reservoir would be
sufficient for distributing purposes for many
years to come-that is. If it is ever finished as
we supposed it may be, with good luck, BY the
time the Catskil reservoirs and aqueduct are
completed. Is it really necessary to go 10 the
vast expense OF constructing another such res
ervoir In Yonkers? Neither is it apparent WHY
there should be another storage reservoir at
Kensico. The new Croton dam provides stor-
age capacity for billions of gallons, enough to
supply the city for months We should think
that would be sufficient for storage near the
city ana tnat une new reservoirs might be made
liz the Catskills.
II Is Of course. desirable To have a cous,dor-
able water supply in storage in ar varv near
tho city Tar nss in Case ss break In tia aoua.
