Spectal Dispatch to The Call. AVANNAH, Dec. 13.—Colonel Wil- am J. Bryan, upon leaving his com- nd to-day, the Third Nebraska, gave out the following interview My reason for leaving the army was set forth in my letter to the adjutant general tendering my resignation. Now that th treaty of peace has been concluded I be- lieve that I can be more useful to my country as a civillan than as a soldier. Colonel Bryan then proceeded to the discussion of public questions, saying: The people of the United States, having rescued Cuba_from forelgn control, may now resume the discussion of the domes- tic problems which confront this nation and to the consideration of the new ques- tions sing -out of the war. m. I m: be in error, but in my judgment our nation is {n greater (1fl.n%sr just now n Cuba. Our people defended Cuba st forelgen arms; now they must de- fend themselves and their country against a foreign idea—the colonlal idea of Euro- pean natic Heretofore greed has per- rted the Government and used its in- strumental interference for private gain; but now the very ioundation principles of our Government are assalled. The imperialistic idea is directly antag- onistic to the idea and ideals which ha cherished by the American people the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Our nation must give up | any intention of entering upon a colonial | policy (such as is now pursued by Euro- | pean” countries), or it must abandon the | doctrine that governments derive their | Just powers from the consent of the gov- | erned. |~ We may belleve that governments come up from the people, or we may belleve | ple from those who possess the heavie | cannons and the largest ships, but we cannot advocate both doctrines. ) borrow a Bible quotation, “A house | divided against itself cannot stand sing Lincoln's declaration, 1 may s nation cannot endure half half colony—half free and Our form” of government. s, our present interests and Ifare, all forbid our enter- er Of conquest. half vassal. even_tradition our future a 'son ha alism, but our opponents must di h beiween expansion in the Wi Hemisphere and an expansion that of Europe and They must still further dis- I between expansion which secures 10us territory for future settlement and expansion which secures us allen races for futyre subjugation.

The Presi- dent in his message says that our only | purpose in taking possession of Cuba is {o cstablish a stable government and then turn that government over to the people of Cuba. Congress could reaffirm this pur- pose in regard to Cuba and assert the same purpose In regard to the Philippines and Porto Rico. Such a resolution would make a clearcut issue between the doc- trine of self- | of imperialisr We should reserve a har- bor and coaling station In Porto Rico and the Philippines in return for services ren- dered, and I think we would be justified in asking the same concession from Cuba. In the case of Porto Rico, where the people have as yet expressed no desire for an independent government, we might with propriety declare our willingness to annex the island if the citizens desire an- nexation; but the Philippine islands are | too far away and their people too differ- | ent from ours to be annexed to the United States, even if they desired it. Colonel Bryan leaves Savannah to- | night for Washington, and will arrive there Wednesday evening. He intends | to enter actively into the fight against | the colonial policy. |OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. | Sy | Patents Granted to Inventors of Cali- } fornia, Oregon and Washington. | WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Pacific Coast | patents were granted to-day as follow: | _California—Charles W.

The. will flled to-day makes exactly the same provision for Edward L. Parker, the son who died a few weeks after his father, as the other one. The Parker block, at 1122 Market .street, San Fran- cisco, was held in trust for him. The son was to recetve the income from the property during the life of his wife, but should she die he was to receive the prop- erty in fee. In case Edward Parker died Arst, one half of the entire estate of G. H. Parker at his death should go to Jane Pomeroy, a sister; of the remainder $000 was given to the First Unitarian Church of San Jose and 35000 to the Home of Ben- evolence. All the remalinder was given in fee to Marshall Pomeroy. Under these provisions Mrs. Parker re- ceived nothing from her father-in-law's estate and consequently began a contest.
