COMMISSION IS OUT Asked to Resign by Direction ol the President. FREE HAND IN REORGANIZATION All Commissioners Now In Washington Comply with Request, Which Is Cabled to Governor Davis. Washington, March 30. Tho first practical step having in view the re organization of tho Panama canil com mission was taken today, when, in compliance with instructions from President Roosevelt, Secretary Talt re quested ,tho members of the commis sion to tendor their resignations.. Tills request was promptly complied with by the members of the commission now in Washington and their resignations will bo in the hands of tho president tomorrow. Tho purport of Mr. Taft's letter re questing the resignations of the com mlHslonerB was sent to Major General George W. DiivIh, retired, of tho army, governor of the canal zone, and also 0110 of the members of tllo commission, and a prompt answer is expected from him. As indicated in tho letter of Mr.Tnft, tho resignations nro requested in order that the president mny have a free hand in reorganizing tho commission. That tho president has contemplated re organization has been known for some time and lie has been in consultation with Mr. Talt as to his futuro policy in choosing its personnel and directing its work. It wbb believed originally that butter results might bo accom plished by tho appointment of a small er commission than now. existing, but a recent opinion of Attorney General Moody held that under the law, the president was required 'to name seven members in all. The, appointments prgbably wlH.bo .announced during the progress ol ills southern trip.' The members of tho present commis sion, in addition to General Davis, nro Rear Admiral John G.

BOWEN IS UPHELD. Has Not Exceeded His Instructions In Dealing with Castro. Washington, March 31. Dr. Joso do Jesus Paul, special representative of President Castro, had an Interview to day with' tho president respecting tho Issues that havo arisen betwoen Vono suola and tho United States. Dr. 1'aul appears to belle vo that these issues might bo Bottled by a change in tho American legation in Caracas, in view of tbo strained rolatlons between Presi dent Castro and Mr. Bo wen. Ho is awaiting tho text of tho communication from President Ca-tro to tho American minister relative to thb arbitration pro posal, which document is en routo to Washington by mail. As an impression apparently prevails to some oxtont, not only In Vennezu ela, hut in this country, that Minister Bowon has incurred tho ill will of President Castro by an excess of zeal in tho presentation of tho Amorican claims against Venezuela, it may bo stated that ofllcial inquiry from Wash ington has developed the fact that Mr. Bowon merely presented to tho Vene zuelan government Iho preciso instruc tions sent to him from tho State depart ment relativo to arbitration; that ho did not add to nor tako from those in structions in tho slightest degree, but in fact effaced himself, so tho fact is that the Btato department and not Mr, Bowcn is responsible iorthla present ment which has so stirred tho Vene zuelan government. In vlow of tho statement from Dr. Paul touching Mr. Bowen, it can bo added upon tho highest authority that, in view of tho ndminsitratiou, tho doctor has no ofllcial standing nnd whatever communication lie makes to tho president or Btato department can not havo any weight or bearing. If President Castro is dissatisfied with Mr. Bowen, he must have recourse to tho regular diplomatic channel and communicate that fact formally to this government, which cannot recoivo rep resentations on tho subject from other sources. MILL 18 IN RUINS. Bannockburn Property at Albany Is Ravaged by Fire. Albany, Or., March 31. Tho old Al bany woolen mill, a brick building being operated by the Bannockburn Woolen Mills company, of Portland, was Wednesday entirely destroyed by fire,1 involving 'tho'owiiefs in a loss of about $60,000, and tho city in a loss in payroll and general expenditures in tho city's stores that cannot bo replaced In years. Wliilo tho Bannockburn Woolen Mills company will not suffer a loss greater than tho figures given above, tho building could not bo duplicated for less than $76,000. It cost that when built, and later some $20,000 more was spent upon it. , Tho flro originated in tho drying room, In a wooden annex or basement built below' the main floor of tho build ing, 011 tho water front. It is sup posed to have been Htcrtcd by an ox plosion In tho steam drying apparatus, though tho exact origin is not known. The flames shot quickly up tho big power belt to tho first floor of tho main building. Hero tho greasy lloor and woodwork furnished fuel for the flames und in a moment tho entire building was on fire. Tho building, with all tho valuable and Intricate machinery, Is n total loss. There were no manufactured products on hand, hence tho losses aio confined to buildings, machinery and the small amount of raw material. Tho largo boiler and engine are thought to be un injured, though soino explovious that were heard from tho direction of tho engine and drying rooms may havo in-J J 11 red tliu Dig machinery. Pennsylvania Miners Will Strike, Altootiu, J'u., March 31. Tho oper ator nod minora of tho central bitu minous district of I'eunsylvania, after being lu confeiencu in this city almost continuously since Mutch 10 endeavor ing to agree on n wage ccalo to go Into effect on April 10, adjourned finally to day without coming to tin agreement, The failure to agree means a suspen sion of work by tho 10,000 organized miners of tho district at tho end of tho present week, Tho employers demand a 10 per cent reduction, but tho men Buy it is beyond consideration, Awaits Creditors' Approval. Washington, March 31. Interest at the Btato department centers in tho at titude of the French and Belgian cred itors towards tho recent settlement with Hun to Domingo. It is realized there that an unfavorable rejdy 011 their part might causo an emburassing situ ation, in view of tho uctiou which this government has already taken. These creditors havo, In nil, claims of f 10, 000,000 against Santo Domingo, and their attitude towards the agreement is of great importance. All but American Treaty Ratified, Berne, Switzerland, March 31, Tho Bundesrath toduy ratified all the pend ing treaties of commerce with tho ex ception of tho treaty with the United States. Further negotiations regarding the latter will bo necessary because of the action of the American senate in mollifying what Is regarded as an es sential clause of tho treaty, HAY MAY MEDIATE Suspected Purpose ot Hay's Eu ropean Trip. OPINIONS OF THE DIPLOMATS Whenever Hay Has Been Reported III. a Qreat Stroke of Diplomacy Has Quickly Followed. Washington, March 28. Several prominent diplomats in Washington be llovo that John Hay, secretary of state, during his trip to Italy, will make an effort to sco what can bo dono in tho way of medintlon and settlement of tho war in the Far East. Tho news from tho Azores that Mr. Hay's health was improved, nnd -that he expected to re turn to Washington by May 12 adds color to this theory. Tho diplomats attach great import ance to tho news that Henry White, tho now United States ambassador to Italy, wan ordered to hasten Ills arrival at his post. Mr, Hay and Mr. White aro warm personal friends, and tho sec retary lias great confidence in Mr. White's adroitness in diplomacy. , It has been figured out in tho diplo matic corps horo that Italy is practi cally tho only country of importance in Europo that might bo expected to tako part in friendly mediation without bo ing suspected by either Russia or Japan of ulterior motives or hostile latent. Mr. Hay bus como to bo regarded almost as a fetich by diplomats sta tioned In Washington. They recall that ho frequently has been ill, con fined to his house, and inaccessible to diplomats, and half a dozen times, after these illnesses something of great Im portance has happened bearing on dip lomatic affairs. 1 WW sS w I MUST QIVE SPAIN HER QUNS Secretary Taft Calls on Cuba to Carry Out Terms of Treaty. j Washington, March 28. Spain baa never been able to secure from Culm tho orduance loft Micro at the termini. tion oLtho Spanish-American" war,- 'ami' Bonor OJeda called on Secretary Taft today to learn the position of this gov eminent in tho matter, Under tho terms of peace it was bold that Spain was entitled to all movable, ordnance in Culm and Porto Rico, ami in tho latter case its claim had been recognized and the ordnance trans ferred. But in tho enso of Cuba thorn appears to bo somu dilllcluty in secur ing tho recognition by tho Cuban gov ernment of the obligation entered into by tho United States. Secretary Taft caused 11 cablegram to bo sent to Minister Squiors in Havana instructing him to notify tho Cuban authorities that tho ordnnnco in ques tion remains tho propearty of Spain, that It was never possessed by tint United States nnd should lm returned to Spain. STEP TO HOME RULE. Consul of Philippines is Completed Legislature In Two Years. Washington, March 28. Secretary Taft today notified Presldeut Roosevelt that tho census of the Phllippino islands hud been completed ami pub lished, and under tho law of July 1, 11)02, two years from this date the pres ident shall direct tho Philippine com mission to cull a general election for tho choke of delegates to a popular assembly. All legislatio power on tho Inlands will thereafter bo vested In it legisla ture consisting of two houses, tho Phil ippine commission and tho Philippine assembly, The condition on which tho election is to bo culled is that complete peace shall have continued in tho terri tory of tho islands not occupied by Moros or other non-Christian tribes.
