from Acting Governor Wtight of the Philip

MANILA, May 31, lftf. Secretary of War
Root, Washington: With reference to your
cablegram Of the 15th,- outside of Moro
country the only ''portion of archipelago
not organised and under civil government
are: Lapanto. bontoc. Batanga. Lagjna,
Principe,-Infanta, Mlndoro, Bamar and the
Psraguan and . other small groups. No
armed resistance in any .of them.
No reason, so far a relate to peaceful
conditions, ' why civil government In all
may not b now; established. Special gov

organize civil government In Laguna Im
mediately. Ratanga. formerly organised,
was turned over to military authorities by

repeal ei.fne to take Afreet July 4.
Only res kin for-not. giving act Immediate
effect Is ihat many people In thla province
have only . recently returned to their
homes, erd n .order to prevent possibility
of suffering think best to have military
look alter them until date named, because
latter have perfected organisation which
civil authorities lack.
Crops now being planted will mature by
August 1. Whilst Principe and Infanta
could be organised - 4t once, ' difficult to
look after them until we receive vessels
now building. say by 'September 1; few
Inhabitants and unimportant Mlndoro and
Paraguan group are large Islands, sparsely
Inhabited and difficult of access without
vessels. For this beaeon think best to leave
military temporarily in charge, because
thev have transportation facilities,
Under Spanish regime Bontoc, Ipanto,
Principe, infanta and tha Paraguan group
did not haver provlnelal government, but
were commanded by military officers, and
Mlndoro was attached to Marlndlque.

PLEASED WITH SITUATION
England Conajratnlate Itself on
Financial Status After Strain
, of Costly War.
LONDON, June 6. Prior to the second
reading Of the loan bill In the House of
Lords today Lord Goschen, liberal, and a
former chancellor of the exchequer, an
nounced that he desired to say a few word
on the financial position Of the country.
Consols, which were now paying only 2Vi
per cent, stood at 97. Before the conver
sion of 1883,. 3 per cent consols stood at
101. If they had been converted then, they
would have been worth only 82, so that now
the stock was really fifteen points higher.
After a costly war and the borrowing of
150,000,000, the counrty might well con
gratulate itself on a situation which showed
such economic statements.
The premier. Lord Salisbury, said such
words, coming from such a high authority,
were very gratifying and would be widely
read.

BASIS OF TAFT'S 3
Instructions by Root to Guide io Vatican
Negotiation Sent to Congress,
FAIR DEALING KEYNOTE OF DIRECTIONS
Separation' of Church and State Im
perative sail Reasonable Cotnen
atloa for Friar Land
Mut Be Heeded.
WASHINGTON, Jun . Secretary Root
eent today to the Philippines committee of
tbe senate and house the sctual copies of
the instructions given by hint to Governor
Taft (or his guidance In dealing with the
Vatican respecting the acquisition by tbs
United States of the friars' lands in th
Philippines, These instructions were ex
hibited yesterday by Governor Taft to the
Vatican officials and served the purpose of
credentials. .
Secretary Root lays down the following
propositions as. the basis of Governor
Taft s negotiations with the pope:
1. One of the controlling principles of our
government Is the complete separation of
church and state, with the entire freedom
of each from anv control or lnterf?renc by
th othr-r. This principle i Imperative
wherever American Jurisdiction extends and
no modification or shading thereof can b
a subject of discussion.
Need to Apply This Principle.
1 It Is necessary to deal now with th
reeults of establishing a government con
trolled by this principle In the Philippine
islands, which have for centuries been gov
erned under an entirely different system,
with -church and state closely united and
having functions of the one exercised by
sgents of the other, where the church h3S
long controlled, and aotfd virtually as the
agent of the state In the public instruction
and public charities and has from time to
time acquired large properties held bv It
or bv its subordinate corporations or offi
cers for these public uses. A novel situa
tion has been created under which th ad
justment of means to ends appropriate to
the former system entirely falls to produce
the intended result under the new system
and the separation of church and state
rpmilre in Va fnlitwA bv a readlustment
and rearrangement In the interests both of
cnurcn ana or state, ana tor me uuainurcui
of th great ends of civil government, of
education, of charity and of religion.

Mud In Sew York, Brown Snow In
Austria, Colored Hall In Russia.
New York's recent shower of muddy rain
Is one ot those phenomena which, tnough
not common, occur at long Intervals In all
parts of the world. Not long again at
Flume, In Austria, there was a heavy fall
of half-frosen, brownish snow and In Italy
and some parts of Germany there was a
downpour of red rain. It was found upon
investigation that the brown snow of
Plume was caused hv the admixture of
sand which had been blown from the desert
of Sahara hundred of miles away across
the Mediterranean, and the red rain was
not a deluae of Dlood, as the- peasants
thought, but was due to the presence of
quantities of minute infusora. which some
how had been drawn up Into the heavens
Brni letdown agatn when the clouds fell as
rain.
A singular phenomenon of this sort oc
curred in Venesuela some' time sgo when
colored hailstones fell In the state of Za
mora. There who first a heavy thunder
storm, with much rain, and then, after a
wnne, tne nail came down In such abun
dance that hundreds of bushels of hall-
stones might have been gathered. Some of
tne naustones weignea as mm n as two
ounces. It la well known that In the
trovtra halle'ones are exeeertlnarlv run In
places situated In the lowlands. But this
hailstorm was particularly remarkable on
account of the color of the hailstones, some
of which were whltiotv while others were
blue, green, rose color or red.
HcnwedorT, who. in his memoir on the
origin .of hailstorms, describes a fall of
similarly colored hailstones which fell at
MinsK, in rrussia, in the month of June.,
thinks that the colors are dun to the fires.

tne pnenomenon connrms nis nvpothesls of
the cosmic origin of hall. There have been
many well authenticated cases where, after
a heavy rain, the ground has been found
strewn with small fish which have dropped
in'in mo rmuns, ana even young trogs,
scarcely out of their tadpole state, have
Deen Known to descend upon the wings ot
