Money , while finding much In

the fortunes of the proposed canal
across the Isthmus intertwined with
the treaty ho could not see his way

every patriotic citizen.

canals authorized a favorable report
upon Senator Morgan's bill providing
for the acquisition from Nicaragua

the senate , accompanying the return
of the bill with a. report upon the gen

ing the inquiry into the attitude dot
Great Britain upon the subject and
the different canal routes. He also
discussed the relationship of the Pan-
American Canal company to the con
struction by the United States of a
waterway across the isthmus.

Head of Porto Rico Federation
Sentenced for Conspiracy.
APPEALS TO SUPREME COURT
Igleslas Ordered Confined Three
Months and Seven Companions Four
Months Each When Merchants
Raised Prices Labor Did the Same.
Ban Juan , P. R. , Doc. 13. Santiago
IslpBlaa , prooldpnt of , the Federation
C Workmen , ot .Porto Rico , together
with nine companions , wore tried In
the district court of San Juan yoetcr
day on a charge pt conspiracy. Iglc-
elaa was sentenced to throe months
and eight days' Imprisonment. Seven
of hli companions wore sentenced to
four months' Imprisonment , while two
were acquitted of the charge of being
the founders' au illegal association
and conspiracy in August , 1900 , to
raise the price of labor In rorto Rico.
Iglcslas , as the founder of the con
spiracy , gats the heaviest sentence.
The local Federation of Workmen
of Porto Rico , which is now part of
the American Federation of Labor , un
der the presidency of Samuel Oom-
pore , has been ordered dissolved , as it
has boon adjudged Illegal on account
of this conspiracy.
Mr. Savage , Judge of the district
court , dissented as to tbe Illegality of
the local Federation , although ho
agreed that Igleslas was guilty of a
conspiracy to raise the price of labor
In August , 1900 , when the currency of
Porto Rico was changed. At that time
nearly all the merchants nnd employ
ers here raised their prices from pesos
to dollars , an advance of 40 cents.
Igleslas did the same , contending that
he only raised wages In proportion to
other Increases. This constitutes the
conspiracy.
The case has been appealed to the
supreme court of Porto Rico , where
it probably will be heard in a month.
Pending this appeal Iglcslas is at lib
erty.

serves number 60,000 men. The'cham
