Washington. February N.--Partial pay
ments to the railroads from the govern

Winslow act approved yesterday by Pres
ident Wilson will be resumed as soon
as the amounts claimed by the Various
carriers are certified to the treasury py

This statement was made tonight by

LIBERIA OFFERS
i. S. NAVAL BASE
American Loan Is Only Con-
sideration-Madrid Be-
comes Curious
BY Associated Press

Madrid, February 27.-Reports are in
circulation here that Liberia will cede
to the United States a naval base on the
western coast Of Africa in return for a
loan which Q. ID. B. King, president OF
the little republic, has gone to America
to negotiate. In commenting on the sub
ject, the Nuevo Mundo speculates upon
the position of Spanish colonies alon g
the African coast if such a projeet
should be carried out.
The newspaper argues that an Amerl-
can loan would be the first step toward
the establishment of the United States
on African soil, and suggests that, owing
to their perilous position, Spain, Guinea,
Rio de Orc and Fernando Pc. might be
sold with advantage to the United States.
AS an alternative to such sale, the
newspaper says it might be well to ask
where the rumored American Liberian
agreement was leading, because Spanish
possessions there would be indefensple
if an American naval base should be es-
tablished in Liberia, and Spain would
maintain her sovereignty only with the
permission of Washington"

Rule In Island Until Greene

Washington, February 27-Pfosper-

the American administration of Samoa

arrival in April, 1920, of Lieutenant
Commander C. II. Boucher and Arthur

the recent administration of the island

The 2e-year era of happiness and
prosperity, however, was followed i'm
mediately by unrest, financial loss and
antagonism toward the American adj

of the natives, the court found, due
to the activities of the officer and civ

Lieutenant Commander Boucher has

Greene has been deported from the is
land. No further action was recon-
mended or taken in the case of Com
nander Kali.
AS to the administration of The is
land government under the later com
n1snder, Walter Terhune the court
found that there was no evidence of
irregularity in the legal or financial
administration, and no evidence of dis
honesty on the part of any of the Of
ficials.

with the navy department by Lieuten-
ant Commander Boucher against Cow
