At me same time, leading officials express their Individual opinion that Senor Sagasta'i claim is very far-fetched, as It is said to be the established rule of international law that all public property oi a government passes to the conqueroi when a change of territory occurs. The rule is equally well established that private property undergoes no change.

The question is somewhat complicated in the present case by the fact that Cuba and Porto Rico are not acquired strictly by conquest, but rather by mutual agreement. In case of a conquest, no question could arise as to the passing of all forts, barracks, eta, along with the conquered territory. Judge Grossenp May Be Named. Washington, Aug. 23.

There is now receiving somi consideration In administrative circlei a plan which would afford a solution of the Philippine problem. It is foi the United States to retain sovereign over the island of Luzon and allow the insurgents, under the leadership of Aguinaldo, to form a government on the island of Mindanao, under the protection of the United States. It ii believed here that this plan would be perfectly acceptable to Aguinaldo and his followers.

With a progressive nation like the United States holding the isle of Luzon and extending to then every aid and assistance, there would be reason, except their probable incapacity, why the Filipinos should not build up a prosperous republic on the island of Mindanao.
