$1,850,000 In gold or any other treasure was
also denied. " "

The financial condition ot th Holy 8
Is unsatisfactory and causes the pop pre

Ptua IX, partly beoaus be waa generous
and partly because he sincerely thought
th occupation ot Rom would not laet
long, maintained th salaries of all th
clerks officer and soldi ara wh did not
take service under th Italian government,
which represented a great outlay for years.
Recently salaries were diminished, but even
now th annual expenditure ot the Vatican
amount to about $1,400,000.
It is further denied that' Fop Leo left
lea -money than-, waa found when be as
sumed th tiara. At the -death of "Pop
Plus IX th -amount at th disposal of
th Holy See did not reach $8,900,000. Pop
Leo might have left much- mora- If several

In a Jesuit church, beror OS of th most

WASHINGTON, Dec H. "Let Colom
bians tak th Initiative- Is the restraining
keynote of speclflo Instructions which Sec
retary Moody has cabled to the American
naval Commanders In Isthmian waters. The
secretary has taken actlv hold In th shap
ing of th naval policy on th Isthmus and
from now on th Instructions, whether to
naval or marine officers, will, as far as
possible, be prepared at his personal direc
tion. ' '.
It was announced today that while
th situation on th isthmus was In no way
alarming to tn Washington government.
It' wa sufficiently delicate to necessitate
th meet careful and diplomatic handling,
and for thl reason secrecy has been en
joined upon officials of ths department re
garding the operations ot th ships and
marines. Th only official Information on
tho subject will be given out at the direc
tion of th secretary.
At a conference held ' thl afternoon be
tween Secretary Moody and Brigadier Gen
eral George T. Elliott, commander of th
marine corps, the latter reported that upon
twenty-tour hours' notice he could get un
der way to Colon with the new Caribbean
sea battalion which I under order to as
semble at . Philadelphia. . This battalion.
which It Is Intended shall go south on th
orulaer Dixie, now on It wir t Philadel
phia from Colon,- will probably sail be
tween December 25 and January 1, the ex
act time depending upon th oondltlon of
th Dixie on arrival and th repairs It
may need. . -
.General Elliott has been Informed that
unless the Isthmian situation enters upon a
decidedly mora peaceful phase in the mean
time he will command this battalion, and
upon his arrival will organise, the, thre
battalions of marine on th Isthmus Into
a brigade, .of which he shall assume su
preme command". " .
Elliott Give. Wide Latitude,
Although General Elliott will hav a. con
ference with th president before leaving
and will be In dally conference with Secre
tary Moody, from both of whom he will re
ceive Instructions regarding his conduct of
operations n th isthmus, he will be given
a wide latitude, much being left to hie own
discretion.
There 'were several conference at th
Navy department today regarding th loca
tion of th catnpa for the marines on the
Isthmus. Lest the administration may be
put In th light of anticipating th senate's
ratification of th canal treaty by assum
ing obligation provided for in that con
ventlon. It has been-practically settled that
General Elliott Shall ' not mass his ' forces
along th Panama border unless ths safety
Of the republic absolutely demands It. ' It
Is believed a more effective scheme will be
to distribute th ; thre "battalions among
th towns and villages of Panama, Other
than th cltlee of Panama and Colon, leav
Ing to th toavy the protection of the ter
minals. It Is said th troop will be en
camped on the highlands -near the border
line, but General Elliott must determlnf
this after bis arrival on the Isthmus.
A factor In the shaping of the 'navy pol
icy on th Isthmus will be the health of
th 'marine. iSCar wilt, be, takjtn In th
selection of .camps , and, event precaution
against tfoploal Illness poeslbl will be ob
served, . Som of the, towns in which ma
rinas will probably, be stationed are Em
pire, J3orgor,a and Porto Bello... .
Captain: Henry Leonard, assistant to th
commander of th marine corps, who lost
his arm In the march to Peking and was
advanced " for " conspicuous bravery, has
asked to be ordered to the Isthmus. Ths
matter la now under consideration by Sec-.
retary Moody. Other officers of the m
rtns corp hav applied for similar orders,
though thus far Captain Evans, aide to the
commandant. Is th only officer general
Elliott has definitely -selected.
- There will be several vacancies among
tho, offioer in the martr. oorpa, which' will
be filled in a few days. '
Colombian Fore I Moving. ,
Th Navy department ess received a
cablegram front Rear Admiral Glass at
Panama to th effect that, according to a
report whloh has Just reached him from a
steamer, th small fore of . Colombian
troops whloh hsd been discovered at th
mouth of th Atrato river had sailed to th
northward in a Colombian gunboat Ad
miral Glass has pot been able to verify
th reoort. -
Th cablegram wa involved and scarcely
Intelligible to th officials of th Navy de
partment, as nnaiiy aeoipnerea it reads
as follows:
Colon Hamburg-American Steam Packet
oompejiy's steamer Christiana, from Car
tagena, December IT, reports that cruiser
Cartagena sailed to the northward (date
missing) with iuO men to go to rendeaveus
iu uun oc usnen.

Although Secretary Hay is 9l ucflnd

received General Reyes, th Colombian spe
cial envoy, and pr, Herran, charge
d'affaires ot th legation, called to notify
him that th presentation of th state
tnent which is being prepared by them,
with the assistance of Wayna MaoVeagh,
would be deferred until after th holidays.
It was explained that th document I
Intended for Mr. Hay's personal consider,.
tloa. AH thought of submitting it to th
State department In th absents of Mr.
Hay has been abandoned, sine Mr. Loom!,
th acting secretary, delivered his address
In Nsw Tork on th Panama Question.
Fee Reeoavalsee Paaaana,- .
When Mr. Bunau-Varilln, th mlnlater
from Panama, called at th Stat depart
ment today. Acting Becratary, Looml In
formed him of th receipt of a cablegram
from th United States minister at Lima,
saying that Peru had decided to reoognla
the new Republl et Panama.
Th fact of Peru's recognition' of Panama
wa first communicated to the State de
partment by Dr. Caideron, the Peruvian
minister. A little later came a cablegram
from Mr. NelU, th United Stat charge
at Lima, stating that th Peruvian govern
ment had appointed a consul to Panama,
thereby recognising th new republic, as
his credentials war addressed to It.
L These recognitions of the Republic bt
Panama, by th South American and the
Central American republics, moat of whom
have held back until within th last few
days, ar expected to hav a considerable
Influence upon the attitude of Colombia,
revealing, aa they do, th' feeling f its
sister republic toward proposition to
unit agalnat Panama, as was broached by
the Paris-Colombia committee yesterday.

The resolution of censure referred to
reads: ' . .

With Indifference the appointment Which
has been mado for the poet of governor ot
the department of Panama, which it re
gards as a menace to. the Safety f the
republic.
After being amended by omitting refer
ence to the governorship of Fanama the
resolution was unanimously agreed to. Th
two hours' debate which preceded the ac
tion was, Mr. Beaupr say, th moat Im
portant which had Xaken place in open
seseion. .
Hostility to the government waa shown
both by the senators taking part In the
debate aa,d by the publi In attendance.
It seemed to be th general opinion, -says
Mr. Beaupre, that the government wa
"prostituting th general Interests ot the

Beaupr;
If vou find dlsDosltlon on th part of
Colombia to ask terms more favorable to
Colombia than those heretofore negotiated

ing, that t will be useless to send a special
envoy. ,

gress, on October $1, was duly reported by
Mr. Beaupr on that data, with oomment
that nothing had been don except a vota
of rejection of the treaty ot August 12. He

Mr. Beaupr said an army of 10,000, com
manded by General Reyes, wa being raised
to operate against Panama provided th
United States would allow Colombia to land
troops. This telegram also reported a meet
ing at which- a resolution wa passed re
questing th government to call a conven
tion for th purpose, of amending th con
stitution la order to render posslbl 1mm
dlat ratification ot th treaty. This waa
opposed ..by the, government and General
Reyes as being Inopportune.
On November 12 Mr. Beaupr telegraphed
that he had been Invited' to th cabinet

H wa asked If he officially ontrud th
telegram of the th to- mean . that , .th
United State would not permit the landing
of Colombian, troops. Mr. Beaupr replied
that the language needed no Interpretation
and that he had po explanation to mak.
H said that there was great consternation
In government circle and that there was
great danger 'to th Americans In th. in
terior, especially In Bogota. Mr, Beaupr
said In this telegram that Minister Rico
dacUred thl derogation contrary to all
precedents. , Ha stated- that a vote of ths

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (Bpeclal Tele
grara.) F. H. Newell, chief of the recla
mation division of th geological survey, to
day outlined to the senate and house com
mlttlss on Irrigation what his department
had don and contemplated doing regarding
th reclamation of th arid and seml-artd
lands of th west. . Mr, Newell rhowed
maps and models of work now. in prooess
and as it will be when completed, incident
to his statement as to th enormous work
devolving upon the bureau, he spoke par
ticularly of th Piatt river project, .which
oonoern the states of Wyoming and Ne
braska. Mr. Newell stated that If th con
templated work at Iron canyoa, above Cas
per, Wy., which la commonly known In
th section M Oranlt canyon, Is worked
out according to plans now made, 1,200,000
acre feet of wter will b Impounded,
wMch amount of wator will It Is believed,
fertilise 600.000 aores of land, two-nfths In
Wyoming and th remainder In Nebraska.
It u question whether 200,000 acres of
land situated In th vicinity of this govern
ment prpject can b obtained, but It is Mr.
Mewells idea that with the conservation
of ths waters In Iron canyon both Wyom
ing and Nebraska will be enormously bene
fited and the iwepape from the Impounded
water will benefit Nebrunka to a larger
extent than Wyoming. This latter state
ment of Prof. Newetl a was brought out by
a question from Representative Mondell,
chairman of the house Irrigation committee,
who, knowing the topography of Wyoming,
asked whether the seepage from the ton
served waters would not benefit Nebraska
much more than Wyoming, on the theory
that Nebraska Is lower thai! Wyoming.
