miral JOuett-He Says the French are
Behind Barrfos, and We Had Better
Get Ready for Business.
Before Rear Admiral Jouett, the commander
OF the North Atlantic station, left Washington
to join his flagship at New Orleans he spoke
very freely of the impending troubles in Gen.
trail America as well as in Panama and the ne
cess1ty for some action on the part of this gov
ernment to protect its interests and assert its
rights. The revolutions in Panama, which oc-
cur with unprecedented frequency, he consid-
cred as being closely connected with the war
like movements of President Barrios and at
tributed both to the inspiration and instigation
Of the French. SVEN have to take hand in
this matter sooner or later" said the admiral in
conversation with STAR reporter, sand in my
opinion the sooner the better. 1t is for this
of troubles all the vessels that we can muster,
and have suggested that the TallapoOsa, Des-
patch and Dolphin all be sent to join my squad
have some vessels, and do not intend to
be walked over rough shod, The French are
going to do every thing in their power to pre-
Panama canal. and in my opinion Barrios
movements are not made of his own accord,
but but you will find the French are at the bottom
OF IT, They Will stay at the bottom until the
time to come to the top and then they'll come
andwe had better look out. Now look at that
Panama canal; the French have spent millions
and intend to spend millions more and they
do not intend that it shall be wasted. To this
end they have secured the ownership of nearly
the whole of the Panama railroad, and on that
little strip Of fland, less than fifty miles wide,
they have massed fifteen thousand wOrkmen.
They are wOrkmen now, but when the time
comes they will prove to-b0 so many
trained French soldiers. They start these
resolutions on the isthmus and it takes
but fraction of them to get a first
class revolution well under way. They can run
the whole place, and they will not only run it,
but other places, too, if they want to. That's
only my opinion, however, and give it for
what it's worth. I tell you these French are
everywhere, and they know what they are
about The Germans are the same way; in fact
every nation is on the alert except ours. Why,
during the Franco-Prussian war every one Of
our naval vessels had German officer on board
in the disguise of a common sailor. Every now
and then a seaman would be met with who
displayed extraordinary intelligence at times,
and he would be found to be a German or Swede.
He performed his duties as a seaman, but he had
others that he performed for his home govern
ment. He knew every thing that this govern
ment was doing, and he took care to give that
information where it was most wanted. Do you
suppose that there are no French army officers
on the Isthmus of Panama among those work.
men, and do you suppose that every move we
make, or rather that we don't make, is not
known in France Immediately? Ii you do you
are mistaken, and it won't be great while
before you viii find out your mistake"

VIGOROUS WORK IN BEHALF OF ASCENSION

for success in raising by Easter the amount OF

Corcoran offered $4,000 on condition that the
S13, 500 is to be raised by the congregation, and
the subscriptions at this date fall short OF thai

the congregation in the enterprise has increased
as success has become more probable, and mem-
bers OF other congregations, admiring the zeal
of their sister church, have volunteered well
come aid. When success crowns the present
effort the Ascension will have paid in twelve
years, in principal and interest, on its church
building, about S205, 900, of which sum only
about 81 5000 came from assets in the posses.
sion of the church before that date.
