PARIS, Nov. 20. Replying TO an ~interpella-
ton in the Senate to-day, Prime Minister
Clemenceau made a speech on the general
policy of the Government and his own with
special reference to the separation law.
He said that if he had Observation-Disclosures

church property, however. would be neces-
sary by December IL, for which reason
inventories we're necessary.
1t had been insinuated, he said, that he
had given orders for a civil war. His re-
Spouse WAS that he had given the came
orders as in the case of the strikes in north
ern France, namely, to preserve patience
to the last but with the positive order that
force must remain on the side OF the law.
At this point the speaker was interrupted
by a cry Of: you should not employ the
srmy for that work"
NJ. Clemenceau replied: Il must employ
the army TO enforce respect for the law,
and I will ave the law respected as well by
Catholics as by strikers. We do not wish
the Catholics TO profit by our patience to
put themselves in revolt. | have taken the
necessary measures"
NJ. Clemenceau was asked whether there
was a military convention between rance

know. He had been in charge of the govern
ment for too short a time TO say more on the
subject, but he thought that such a conven-
ton did not exist.

well designed aerial motor.
All the elements for rhe construction Of
the motor exist. A motor weighing less

easily constructed. Its structural material
would be infinitely stronger than any in
the organic world. A birds wing is a
marvellous structure, but it is heavy COM

~ Special Caots Despatch to TEn Sun.
4LoNDoN. Nov 20 -Sir Edward Grey.
Secretary for Foreign Affairs. received
at the Foreign Office to-day an influential
delegation with reference to the alleged
-misgovernment Of the Congo Free State.
Sir Edward said to the delegation that if
the matter we're one OF British trade only
it would be comparatively easy to deal
with. al Great Britain could take isolated
action. But greater interests were involved.
The Improvement Of the condition Of
the natives and Of the whole country. he
said, was to be desired. He regarded
isolated action by Great Britain as III last
resource. Besides. there was mother coun-
try whose title interviewed. and was fuller
and more comprehensive than Great Brit
aims. He referred to Belgium.
Should negotiations with Belgium prove
inconclusive and a continuance Of the
present regime in the Congo Free State
be threatened, it would be the duty Of Great
Britain to sound the other Powers as to
what view they held on the subject. IL
would be impossible for the British Gov
ernment to continue to recognize indefinitely
the present state Of affairs.
Another account Of Sir Edwards recep-
ton of the delegation says he declared
that in the event Of negotiations with
Belgium failing Of result. il would be the
duty Of Great Britain to summon a con-
ference Of the Powers.
Sir Edward added that the Governments
were sounded three years ago, when. the
response was unfavorable to the holding
of a conference or taking other action.
But much had happened since then. II
the necessity arose again and all OF any
of the Powers wished to show interest
in the matter they would find Great britain
prepared to cordially cooperate with them
without any intention whatever to secure
political advantage for herself.

HAVANA, Nov. 20.-Ths idea Of an Amer

signed Jose De Armas, who, il is under
stood, is acting in accord with the wishes OF
a group in sympathy with the idea. The
writer gives the reasons why IL is unfair for
the United States to expect an independent
Cuba to bea model Of order and tranquility.
He argues that Cuba, with the various
elements Of her social composition. and with
her lower classes uneducated and without
experience in a democratic form of govern
ment, is bound to follow the example Of
other Latin American republics. and those
in power are bound to p~erpetuate their
power by violence or the island will fall into
revolution. The cause Of CubaIs trouble.
according to Senior De Armas. is political
inexperienoe. not inferiority of race. The
mission, therefore. Of the United States is
one Of education, not, conquest.
President Mckinley, he lLys, would
have delayed the delivery Of the island
TO the Cubans. The establishment Of the
republic was due in the first place to the
elevated idealist sentiments Of President
Roosevelt, and In the second place to the
need of fulfilling the promises contained
in the joint resolution Of the American
Congress. The demands Of the Southern
and Western States which produce sugar,
tobacco and fruits also had their effect.
These same States now oppose annexation.
and It i impossible.
The best plan, Senior De Armas declares,
IL to maintain the republic under the SUPER
vision OF the United States, instead Of the
latter having merely the right to intervene,
in order that the United States should
share with the Cubsns the responsibility
for preventing instructions.
An official report shows that the Cuban
Government had 2s.1e4 rifles, OF which
2l.i24 we're issued to the militia. There are
1921 now in Havana. The balance nave
not yet been located. but it is confidently
expected that they will be found when the
commission concludes its inspection in the
interior.
