Some time ago it was reported from the Rio

were marching from Monterey for the border.
IT was also stated that the object of the advance
OF 50 large body OF Mexican soldiers was 10
oppose United States troops whenever they
crossed into Mexico in pursuit OF thieves. The
war department thought that such was the OBJ
Ject OF the advance until President DiaZ inform
ed this government that instead of being sent
with the intent to interfere with the punish
ment OF raiders the troops were to cooperate
with the United States forces in putting them
down. That this is really the case is cOrrOb0r-
ated by information received at the War de-
partment 1t is also learned that Gen. Trevino,
commander OF the Mexican troops, is under

bishop OF Dublin. He was born in the county
carlow, ireland, on the 2Ith OF April, 1903. He
was educated in Rome, at the college OF the

professor Of Hebrew. When Plus TX. fed to
Gaeta, in 1S4S, DR.. Cullen was rector OF the Irish
College in Rome. He was the only one OF the
rectors OF the college who was allowed to re-
main in the city. Great administrative care
falling thus upon him, he showed remarkable
tact and r1rmneSs. In critical moment he
placed the Propaganda and the Roman College
under the protection OF the American nag.
Plus TX. nominated him to the primatial see or
Armagh, Ireland, and he was consecrated on
the oath of February, 1850. Two years later he
was translated 10 the see OF Dublin, his position
as delegate apostolic" placing him at the head

The Sherman Letter Again.

ANDERSON, THE POTTER COMMITTEE WITNESS,
RECANTS HIS FORMER STATEMENT AND MAKES
NEW ONE.
The Indianapolis Herald to-day contains an
interview with James E. Anderson, now in that
city. Mr.. Anderson clears up the mystery sur
rounding the Sherman letter, and eXOnerateS
the Secretary from all completely in the matter.
He says that the authorship OF the Sherman
letter lies between Senator Kellogg and Con-
quest Clark, who was his private secretary at
the time; that Mrs. jerks never saw il; that
the original is now in possession of a gentleman
In Philadelphia, and can be produced at any
time, and that Senator Kellogg could exonerate
Sherman at any time and will do SO as soon as
estS are confirmed. The interview fills two and
a half columns of the Herald, and embodies
racy history OF Louisiana politics, including
some facts not heretofore made public. Mr..
Anderson says he was made the dupe of Sypher
his cousin, and compelled to go before the Pot
ter committee, and that Sypher got fee of
$500 by pretending that he was Anderson's go
between.
CONQUEST CLARK SAYS ANDERSON is LYING LIT
TIE WHELP.
A reporter Of THE STAR to-day asked Mr..
Clark if Anderson'S statement that the author
ship of the famous alleged letter could be as
cribed to him was true.
'It is as true as anything the lying little whelp
has ever Said," replied Mr. Clark.
''IS there any truth" asked the reporter, in
the statement concerning Senator Kell0gg'S
part in the authorship of the letter and the
Senator's ability to eNonerate Secretary Sher-
man at any time and his intention to do so as
soon as the Louisiana appointments made in his
interest are cOnfirmed?"
''1hat is as true as anything that the little
Whelp has ever Said," was the reply
land the statement that the original letter is
now IN the possession of gentleman in Phila-
pelphia?" persisted THE STAR man.
"About that l know nothing and cannot OF
