THE LABOR THAT IS TO BE DONE Straightening Out of the Government System The Message of President Palma Cuba's Relations to the Uni ted States. HAVANA Congress reassembled Monday afternoon and will probably continue its session three extra months on account of the necessity for passing many laws before all the departments of the government get their policy under way. The measure includes approval of the naval station agreement and a permanent treaty covering Cuba's po litical relations with the United States; laws dealing with municipal government and defining the duties of cabinet officers; laws concerning gold and silver coinage, divorce and revi sion of the court system and customs tariff. A message from President Palma was read at the opening session. He congratulated the country upon the maintenance of peace and order since the strike last November. The sys tem of reorganization, he said, had be gun and advised a reform cf the mili tary laws, which were not adapted to a republican form of government, especially with reference to the juris diction over soldiers guilty of penal offenses. The president says negotiations have been completed providing for the entiance of Cuba into the postal union and for special arrangements with the United States and Mexico, and he ad vises an entire reconstruction of the postal telegraph system. He contin ues: "The majority of the municipalities exist with difficulty because their rev enues are inadequate. The govern ment feels that further assistance in many cases is unauthorized, beyond paying the expenses of charities, school.-; and prisons, 'out the obliga tions of the municipalities can not continue to be met unless congress specifically authorizes the government to act. The work of sanitation, as at present conducted by the government, is not in harmony with the constitu tion. Since the Piatt amendment makes the government responsible for sanitation, it is urged that an act cov ering the work of sanitation be passed. "It is unnecessary to recall the fact that in the naval station agreement which is in the hands of the senate, the United States has obtained sites at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda, af ter asking also for Nipe and Cienfue- gos. It being impossible to evade car rying out our duty in accordance with the Piatt amendment, the executive believes that the convention has been made as favorable as possible, and rec ommends a speedy approbation, so that it may be possible to negotiate an additional agreement to establish the price of the leases and other con ditions. "It is necessary to hasten the per manent definition of Cuba's relations with the United States, so as to elim inate the Piatt amendment problem, which is keeping Cuba at present in a state of political uncertainty." MANY OPPOSE .CANAL TREATY. Colombia May Start a Revolution as Result cf Big Ditch. KINGSTON. Jamaica The Royal Mail company's steamer Atrato, which arrived here Sunday from Colon and Cartagena, brings the report that con siderable opposition is developing to the Panama canal treaty in almost ev ery department of Colombia except Panama.

Salute to the President. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal In the Vosemite valley President Roosevelt will be given a salute by a battery of dynamite cartridges.

The Mexican Her ald published a report of the capture and execution of John Dyer, an Ariz ona newspaper man. w ho recently pro claimed himself leader of the Yaquis in Sonora. Dyer, during his brief leadership of the Yaquis, earned the name of "El Renegaclo," on account of his alleged inhuman cruelty to Mexi can women and white men. He was for a time a newspaper correspondent at Cananea, MONROE DOCTRINE German Comment on President Roose velt's Speech. LONDON. Commenting on Presi dent Roosevelt's speech on the Mon roe doctrine at Chicago, the Vossische Zeltung takes the view of the average prosperous Berliner when It says it was due to his prudence and the cir cumspection of the Washington gov ernment that the Venezuelan affair passed off without serious disaster Reverting to the Monroe doctrine the Vossische Zeitung says: "No logi cal objections can be raised to the doctrine. It is for North America as a matter of national sentiment and national business, and any attack on it from this side of the ocean would be mere lilting at windmills. Since France's luckless adventure in Mexico there has been no instance of an at tempt to upset the doctrine during the last hundred years. On the contrary, European possessions on the American hemisphere have been steadily dwindling by revolution and sale. The American is like a dragon that imag ines he has to protect the American girl from violence, while; Europe is like the man, who, though always be inc bled, is constantly accused of sucking the blood of others. The best proof of the disinclination of Eu rope to acquire territory on the Amer ican continent is the fact that there was no attempt 1o do so when Amer ica had no fleet worth mentioning" In conclusion the paper says it re grets that there is still a part of the American press and even American dignitaries who frequently lack the tone of good society and are addicted to the "shirt-sleeve diplomacy of the far west." It says that doubtless time will alter this, as America is making gigantic progress in every field, and it may be hoped that the country is improving in that of political mariners also.

TWO VACATIONS EACH YEAR The Civil Service Commishsion Gives Out a Statement Regarding Appoint ment of Laborers in Various Depart ments. WASHINGTON.

Hereafter it will be the aim to allow the enlisted men two rea sonable long vacations each year, one after the winter and another after the summers work is finished. iticueni ally, the officials think the double va cation will tend to diminish desertions.

Age is another element affecting the gen eral rating of applicants, as are also industry and adaptability. The Treasury department is one of those in which the system has been longest established.
