COMPROMISE ON LORDS
Fact Is Evident That Prime MIN
lister Wants One.
UNIONISTS FIRM IN STAND
They Will Demand Settlement as
Favorable to Themselves as
to Government.

London (Via Glaze Bay. May g. Inc
Spectator advises the Unionists TO take
the Parliament bill plus Lansdowne
bill minus the creation OF peers as
choice Of evils. This counsel is Dased
upon the obvious fact that the Prime
Minister has received guarantees from
the King. but does not want the manu-
facture Of puppets and prefers COM
promise by which the government may
be relieved of the necessity Tor REFORM
ing the House Of Lords. Reasons for the
compromise are cogent. but there is no
evidence that the Unionist leaders are
prepared TO accept settlement more
favOrab BILE on the surface To the govern
ment than themselves.
Mr.. Balfour may be more conciliatory
when he speaks at Newcastle next week.
but neither he nor Lord Lansdowne has
encouraged the idea that the Opposition
will put up with reformed chamber
which is not coordinate in power with
the Commons.
For clever political manPuvres not yet
ended. Mr.. Asquith. without doubt, Will
take the reform bill as substitute for
the preamble of his own bill, but the ac-
ton Of the Opposition leaders is open to
the suspicion that they are playing for
position and proposing reform under
conditions which cannot be accepted.
While the Parliament bill will be read
for the third time in the House of Com
mons on Monday. ii cannot come up for
a second reading in the House Of Lords
for another week. This will be after the
Lords bill has been debated several
nights and the ministers have been

RETIREMENT OF ESTRADA

that the action Of President Estrada i'm
turning over tho Presidency TO Senior Diaz.
Vice President. Is political move. The
most rigid censorship exists. and no de-
tails OF the affair are permitted to reach
the coast 1t is probable that the trouble
resulted from a division between the Lib
eral and Conservative parties. which here
tofore have been united on Estrada.
The fact that Estrada's administration
was altogether in line with the COnserva-
tive party doubtless caused the split. The
news OF tho retirement Of Estrada was the
cause OF gloom and bcwiderment, and for
cicners are auXiously awaiting news ot

WOULD INDICT INFORMER
Request of Prosecutor Concern
ing Abbatemaggio Denied.

Viterbc. Italy, May 13-The Crown
Prosecutor to-day asked that Gennaro
Abbatemaggio he indicted as an accom-
plice in the murder Of Gennaro Cuocolo
and his wife. The request was founded
on admissions made by Abbatemaggio
during the session Of the Camorrist trial,
when he was again confronted by Enrico
Alamo. charged with being the actual
head Of the Camorra. President Bianchi
declined to make such an order.
To-days exchange between Abbate-
maggie and Afano had to do chiefly
with the actual murder of the Cuocolos.
The informer repeated the circumstances
already known. Alamo replied that.
wishing to he indulgent. he could only
imagine that tis accuser had had bad
dreams.
When Abbatemaggio said that he had
been originally selected as one of the
assassins, but withdrew from a part in
the crime because of his horror Of the
taking Of human life, lawyer for the
defence asked
Then why, il you were so Mortified.
did YOU not warn CuOcolo of the plot
against him by means OF an anonymous
letter."
Because" answered the witness. the
Camorra would have suspected and
punished me"
why was your share of the reward for
the crime $50, while the actual muir
derers received only $50 each?''
Because either the Camorrists feared
me or thought me useful"
II vas this last statement Of the in
fotmcr that led the Crown Prosecutor TO
ask for his indictment.

Japan IGNORED BY POWERS?
Not Consulted in Regard to Loan
to China, 1t Is Said.

Toxic. MAY 13.-Assurance is given
that pan has received no official con-
frmation of the conclusion Of the con-
tract for the four power S50,OO,OU cur
rency loan to China. This government
has not been consulted by its British
ally or the other nations interested.
Persistent and authoritative announce
ments emanating from Pekins are that
the American government is supporting
the group Of bankers solely because OF
that countrys determination to obtain
political position in Manchuria in OPP
position TO Russia and japan. In other
words it is held that as the finances
Of Manchura and Mongolia have been
pledged as security for the loan, part
OF which is to be used for the industrial
development OF China's Manchuran prov
inces. il is clear that the United States,
Great Britain. France and Germany have
combined in a project which is an al
tentative to Secretary KnoX's PROPOSE
ton for the naturalization Of the Man
Churian railways. which plan was OPP
posed by Russia and Japan.
These reports from Picking with the
construction of the matter as set forth
above, are embarra ssing to the japanese
government which is bitterly attacked
by the opposition on the ground of its
alleged weakness and inability to main
tain its position regarding Manchuria.
1t is charged with having been out
maneuvred by political intriguers in
China and by the other powers
Notwithstanding a complete official
silence beyond the statement that Japan
is not concerned. there is reason to be-
iievc that some chagrin is felt in Toxic
because Japan was wholly ignored dur
