'WILLIAM H. TAFT. y

Mr.. Taft was accompanied to the
Cabinet meeting by Mr. Lawshe, au-
ditor ofthe Philippine government, who
desired to pay his respects to the
President before returning to his post
Mrr. Lawshe has been in this country
for several months in connection with
the Philippine government exhibit at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
the accounts Of which he has been ad-
justing. His accounts show that in
round figures this exhibit cost the Phil
ippine Commission a million and a
half dollars, while the returns from
franchises, admissions and other SER
vices were little over 100000. Al
though this shows that the exhibit was
far from self-sustaining from a pecu-
mary point Of view, yet the Philippine
Commission feels amply repaid for the
expenditure by reason of the great
stimulus given to the interest of the
American people in the Philippines
and a belief that it certainly will re-
suit in large and permanent increase
in trade between the islands and the
United States.

1t has been stated at the Treasury
Department that operations at the
New Orleans Branch Mint would, in
all probability, be resumed on April
Is. Though no defininte conclusions
have been reached with regard to the
purchase of silver bullion, it is tenta-
lively agreed that the metal necessary
to resume the coinage Of subsidiary
coins will have to be obtained by pur-
chase, since the governments supply
is now practically exhausted. The de-
partment is now getting in readiness
to take steps to reopen the Mint, and
will initiate the work there by melting
up and reducing the old and mutilated
subsidiary pieces, which have accumu-
lated since the suspension of opera
tions last fall. The Mint will resume
work with about so per cent Of its old
forces.

Charges that William Nelson Crom-
well of New York, who was promi-
nently connected with the sale of the
Panama canal property to the United
States, was the prime mover IN the
scheme to influence the United States
to assume control Of Santo Domingo
finances, were stated in a speech made
before the senate by Senator Morgan.
Senator Morgan said that Mr.. Crom-
we'll was actuated by desire to frus-
trate a plan of Mr.. and Mrs. Read
er, natives Of Alabama, who are oper-
ating under the name of the Reader
syndicate, to get certain concessions
from the Dominican government, and
to promote the interests Of syndi-
cate he represented, which, it is al
legged, holds mass of claims against
Latin-American republics, including
large part of the debts against the
Dominican government. During the
discussion Senator Morgan referred to
treaty negotiated by the Readers,
which he said had never seen the light
of day, because of the interference OF
Mr.. Cromwell's representative. Sen
ator Platt of Connecticut said that he
did not want the discussion to go any
further until that treaty had been pro-
duced. Thereupon it was sent to the
desk by Senator Morgan and read. 1t
declared Republican senators gave ev-
erything to Santo Domingo, conces-
sions to the Readers and practically
nothing to the United States. These
senators subsequently declared that
charges based on such document
were not entitled to consideration,
Senator Foraker defended Mr.. Crom-
well, saying that he knew him profess
sionally and believed him incapable Of
the acts charged.

Japanese Consul at Manila Receives

Japanese Consul at Manila Receives
London. April 24.-Beyond the re-
port that from Kamranh bay the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron proceed
ed northward, there is no further
news of any kind nor confirmation of
the reported firing off Kamranh bay.
There have been rumors recently that
portion of Rojestvensky' squadron
was at Hainan, near the promontory
of Lienchau. If these rumors are true
it is supposed the whole squadron may
reassemble there and endeavor in Chi.
nese waters to continue coaling and
other preparations. Little attention
is paid here to reported movements
OF the Japanese warships. 1t is consid-
cred that Vice Admiral Togo is not
likely to lift the veil of secrecy ex-
cept for the express purpose of mis-
leading.
