A syndicate was formed month since among th'e leading merchants of Panama and Colon to control tho silver currency In circulation on the Isthmus of Panama, and has been, pdfar. successful enough to seriously affect the Panama company and in a lesser degree th Panama railroad to their detriment. It has cau?ed a reduction la the premium on gold from 213 per cent, to 200 per cent., and it now looks as if gold would go still lower In consequence cf the exportation of large urns to New York, London and elsewhere, and the locking -up of other largo sums. Tho scarcity of silver coin is seriously felt In business transactions, and United States, English and French coins circulate almost es freely as the legal coinage of the country. Both the Panama canal and railroad companies now have trouble to get sufficient Colombian silver to pay their laborers, unless they buy from the syndicate at the price dictated by it. To circumvent this movement, th Panama railroad lately purchased JCO.000 of Colombian silver In New York at th market price, which was about CI 4 for one dollar United States gold, and hipped it to Colon; but before it arrived there th syndicate was Informed 'of the fact by cable and application wa3 made to the Governor cf Panama to enforce a Jaw passed In ISC, which prohibits the importation of silver coin of any country1 less than !K)0 fine. This law was passed to prevent the importation and circulation of Peruvian and Mexican Holes which, at the time, were at a greater dl?count than Colombian silver. 1 The Governor refused to allow the railroad company to land tho money, even though It was the legal currency of the country, and relief was sought by cabling the national authorities at Hocota. the car.. Ital. but, up to the time of sailing of the vessel en which the coin was shieDed. no reply had "been received and it was re turned to New York. If the national authorities uphold the ae tien of rhe Governor of Panama, and the legal coinagp or the republic is prohibited irom oeing returned ir once exported, the syndicate can make what coin remains in the country of equal value to gold if it so uesires. Abroad the value Ls controlled by the price of silver bullion, and at present U of Colombian ellveir 14 worth about. 46'4 cems ia unuea states currency. The Panama Canal Company, which is now employing about 2.0jO men, who receive from fc cents to JLW per day, secures Its silver currency for Its monthly pay rolls by selling drafts on Paris, London or New York, and is at the mercy of the syndicate unless it adopts a gold basis in payment for Inhor, or can buy Columbian silver In New York or London at its market value. Nlcaraaram Violate Canal Contract. MANAGUA. Nicaragua, Oct. IS. The ad referendum settlement la London on Sept. 13 of Nicaragua's railroad bond debt of 1SS6 between a representative of the government and the chairman of a syndicate that ls understood to hold the right to purchase those railroad bonds at &) cents on the dollarcast and the remainder in preferred 10 per cent, stock of an Kngllsh transportation company, yet to bo organized, ls said to be in violation of Act 5 of Nicaragua's existing contract with the Maritime Canal Company, of Nicaragua. It Is reported and believed thai President Zelaya has signed this agreement and forwarded It to London for the 'signature of the council of foreign bonJ-hjolders. Tnc Seised by Canadians.

CAMPOS TO THE J?R0NT

SPANISH COMMANDER WILL GO Cl.MG.rOR GOMKZ. He Will Personally Direct Operation Aftnlnut the Insurgent Lender Cuban Chanfte Their Policy. HAVANA, Nov. 11. Captain General Martinez De Campos will personally direct the military operations against Maximo Gomez, the insurgent leader in command of the province of Santa Clara. There has been a skirmish at Itabe, rrovInce of Matanzas, between a detachment of government troops and a force of insurgents. The latter lost nve killed and the troops captured five prisoners, among them being Gonzales Romero, the insurgent leader In charge of the district. Sandoval, another insurgent leader, has been wounded In a skirmish near Trinidad. Three of his followers were killed during the skirmish. At Jovellanos, Matanzas, the surrender of the Insurgent leader Ilevla is reported by the Spanish officials. It is also reported that General Campos has pardoned him. General Aldave has left with a column for Clengo . Avlla, for the purpose of beginning active operations. General Garrich, civil and military governor of .Santigo, is en route to Santa Spiritus, while General Navarro, with two battalions, has arrived at Cienfuegos for the purpose of suppressing the Insurgents In the province of Santa Clara, who are reported to be burning plantations there. Official advices received here indicate that 20.000 more troops., will leave Spain for Cuba during the month of January. General Campos has ordered. the French citizen. Houstlnce released at Cienfuegos. CHA.NGK OF POLICY. Many Cohan ow Opposed to Anklnjr. Recognition a. Itelllgerent. WASinNGTON, Nov. 11. President Thomas Estrada Palma,-the head of the Cuban revolutionary party, will come to Washington within . the next few days. It is expected that his visit will result in a more definite line of policy regarding what Cubans will suggest or urje on Congress as the most desirable course for the United States to adopt. Mr. Palma is not only president cf the American branch of the Cuban organization, but he has recently received a commission from the insurgent government in Cuba constituting him Its official representative In the United States. Under these circumstances a movement Is on foot to have Mr. Palma remove his headquarters from New York to Washington, In order to be near, the seat of government while the Cuban questln is under consideration. This, however, is a matter for future consideration, as his, coming visit will be temporary. Thus far the policy of the Cubans has been toward securing from the United States a recognition of the belligerent rights of the insurgents. Now, however, there Is said to be an influential element against this course. They say It would prove disastrous to American shipping, as it would permit Spain to seize American merchant ships suspected of carrying contraband goods on the high seas, whereas these seizures cannot be made at the present time outside the three-mile limit of the Cuban coast. Instead of recognition to the insurgents, it is being urged that the United States should adopt steps to put an end to the struggle in Cuba by forcible intervention, ijf necessary, as was proposed by President Grant In 1875 during the last Cuban uprising. This question will be among those to come before President Palma when he reaches Washington. The report that General Masso had been commissioned to come to Washington in behalf of the insurgents is regarded as untrue by those best informed of the course of the Cuban leaders. Don't Care for "Old CSIory NEW YORK, Nov. 11. Captain Frank L. Miller, of the American brig Harriet G., which, on leaving the Cuban port of Neuvetas, on Ot. 3, was searched by Spaniards who claimed to , be looking for arms, said to-day: "It has been incorrectly stated that I was not flying the stars and stripes when the search was ' made. This was not the case. The search was made by nine men under the leadership of a Spanish officer. My protests were unavailing. The American consul witnessed part of the search and Joined in the protest. It was useless, however. The Spaniards don't care a continental for American rights, and would insult our flag whenever opportunity offered. Had my vessel flown the Rritlsh flag not a Spaniard would have dared attempted a search." Situation Critical.

A PALACE IN V K N EZl'EL A . Preparations for n .Magnificent Tropleal Home. New York Tribune. The inhabitants of Venezuela cannot always regulate affairs to suit their own individual tastes In regard to revolutions. They are usually able to set a revolution In motion if they desire it. but once going, the desire for peace Is not always so easily gratified. There is one thing down there, however, that a man of moans can usually regulate to suit himself, and that is the amount of heat or cold that he wants. He decides upon some average temperature that he thinks is agreeable, and ' then proceeds to make it possible for him to enjoy Just about the right amount of heat and cold during the entire year. If he is fond of a low temperature during the torrid heat of the summer he builds a house and hangs it on a mountain, two or three thousand feet above the level of the s?a. If a warmer climate is better suited to his temperament and constitution he builds his home a little lower down, and so, with four or five houses at different altitudes, the danger of his suddenly catching cold or in any other way suffering from sudden chanpes of temperature Is reduced to a minimum. Some of the wealthy planters and business men of Venezuela have a city house at Caracas, and then, perhaps, four or five houses In the country. One of these men, who Is largely engaged in the coffee trade, and who owns several coffee plantations, discovered recently that he wanted to add at least one more temperature to his already long list. During a recent visit to New York he made all the arrangements for the construction of an extensive country mansion. Owing; to the chronic disposition of the country toward earthquakes and tornadoes the moneyed men of the land cannot follow the example of Americans, and try to outdo the Tower of Babel in the construction bf their buildings, but what they lose In the air they make up on the ground. Real estate is cheaper In Caracas than in New York.' The house for the gentleman In question is to be built on a mountain side, thirty miles from the capital, about two thousand feet above the level of the sea, "When finished It will cover over an acre of ground. Every precaution has been taken to Insure the comfort of those who are to live there. The house Is only one story in height, and consists of a series of suites of rooms grouped around little courts. In the center of each courtyard Is a fountain, the monstrous splash and splatter of which will be an Inducement to more perfect rest during the afternoon siesta. No great aqueduct Is needed to carry the water for these fountains, and no engine to lend the power to force it gracefully through 'the sultry air. . All that is necessary ls to tap a stream a little further up on the mountain side, lay a rude pipe line and gravity will do the rest. The outer walls of the building are of brick and terra-cotta. The interior will be made as beautiful as the art of Venezuela and the United Statea can make It. A. E. Blackmore, of No. 123 East Twenty-third street, hopes to get the contract for the wall decorations, and Duncan Gay, also of No. 123 East Twenty-third street, has been designing the stained-glass wlndowc and skylights. The latter are used In all of the Interior rooms. Perhaps the most pretentious of the rooms In the mansion ls the dining hall. It is sixty feet long and thirty feet wide. The walls and celling are to be richly decorated, and an Immense skylight of stained glass will aid in lighting It It opens up on a courtyard with a series of double doors extending the whole length of the room. Each door will have a stained-glass panel eight feet high by two feet wide. The doors are flanked1 by heavy columns, and between these are five stained-glass panels. Above the doors Is a frieze of tile work, Inclosed In richly carved woodwork. All of the glass for the house Is to be packed carefully In small boxes, so that It can be carried to the place by pack mules. Each of the suites of rooms Is to be furnished with spacious baths. One of the bathrooms ls fourteen feet square. The floor is of marble, and a high opal tile dado runs clear "around the room. Above the dado the walls are painted. Then comes the frieze painted on canvas In the Spanish Renaissance style, and the celling is decorated with garlands of flowers. In the center the ceiling rises, making the skylight, ten xeet square, come about fifteen inches above the ceiling. This perpendicular space Is used as a ventilator. The skylight is to be of opal glass ornamented with glass Jewels. The fixtures for the use of the bathers are to be the best that can be supplied by modern plumbers. Another feature of this South American palace, is the spacious bedrooms. One of them, fifteen by twenty-five feet, Is decorated in the Spanish Renaissance style. It will be painted In oil, on canvas, In four pieces, and these will be stretched on wooden frames made to fit the ceiling. This room Is also lighted from a stained-glass skylight. The manner of furnishing this luxurious home has not yet been learned, but It is sure to be in keeping with what has already been done. Money is no object when pitted against comfort and ease. Much of the work has already been done, but much still remains undone, and It wlll probably be many months before all is ready for the occupants. The Torrens Land-Title System. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The city of Chicago and Cook county, always at the front in commercial matters, by a majority of 77,000 of their voting population, at the election last Tuesday, adopted the Torrcns system of registering and guaranteeing land titles. This method was Inaugdrated by our English-speaking cousins In Australia, who are governed as we are by customs and laws borrowed from the mother country, and the law bears the name of the author. This ls the same country whose inventive genius has given us the blanket voting system which now' prevails in so many States of our Union and is rapidly spreading so as to cover all of them. By the Torrens method the owner of land can have hU title registered by an ofllccr appointed for that purpose, receive a certificate of registry, by which the State guarantees ownership, and he can then sell and assign his certificate or pledge, and borrow money on It. like he could on a mortgage, without the expense and delay of an abstract' of title. It assimilates land titles to certificates of stock in corporations or registered bonds of the United States, which have only to be assigned and delivered to pass title to a purchaser. A person may now transfer a stock certificate in a bank calling for H00.00O by merely indorsing it. but if It be a town lot valued at only ?1X) the vender must incur the expense of an abstract and the consequent delay before the conveyance is completed. A more speedy and less expensive way of transferring the ownership of land has been a long-felt want, and it ls to be hopel Chicago has made no mistake in adopting the new method. It is known the late David Dudley Field, who did so much toward law reform by improving the forms of pleading and practice while a member of the commission to codify the laws of New York, Intended to insert a provision similar to the Torrens law, but he was overruled by his colleagues, who preferred the existing clumsy method. In England, two hundred years ago. land was about the only thing having any value. Stocks, bonds and personal prorerty were limited in amount and values. In our day corporations and moneyed Institutions have so greatly multiplied there, as well as in this countrj't that transactions in lands are small when compared with stocks, bonds and securities. It is not probable the dally sales of land amount to ten per cent, of the transfers of the varieus kinds of personal property." It is the opinion of wellinformed dealers that a more simple and lesa experslve way of transferring tltl would greatly increase .tne number of Cand owners, and surely it Is to the advantage of the country that people should own their hemes and put their savings in land.
