BARON DE HIRSCH.
Particulars Respecting His Mu-
nificent Ben reflections
To the Poor-His Plan for the Amslioration
OF the Condition of the
Russian Jews.

Especial toTHE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The Paris edition
OF the New York Herald published yester-
day the following from It's correspondent
at Monte Carlo:
Baron de Htrsch to-day gave me the fol-
lowing interesting particulars respecting
his numerous munificent benefactions to
the poor. Baron de Hirsch's whole af-
fectlons were conferred in his only child,
Baron Lucien de Hirsch, who died some
few years ago after very short illness.
This affection caused him to retire from all
active business. Beng possessed of
enormous wealth and having no direct
heir he, after mature consideration. de-
clded to Employ or devote a portion of his
fortune to the alienation of the sufferings
OF his felloWmeu. Notwithstanding his
Jewish descent Baron de Hirsch is a man
OF large and liberal ideas on religious mat
tiers, many members of his family being
CHRISTIANS. Furthermore, his adoption of
two English children who are being
brought up in the Christian religion is suf
ticient proof that his unequalled liberalitv
is not limited to mis- own people. For sew
eral years past he has seriously occupied
himself with the miserable condition of the
poor Jews in Russia, and he de-
termined to take all possible steps to
come to their assistance. He at once
entered into negotiations with the Russian
government to this effect and proposed to
devote the sum of 100000 francs to that
object, but certain stipulations imposed by
the baron not being in accordance with the
desire of Russia, Baron de Hirsch was
Obliged to withdraw his offer.
Being batfied In his efforts to help them
in this way, Baron de Hirsch determined
to dc so IN another, and began to encourage
and help Russian Jews to emigrate Enor-
nous sums have been given by him for this
purpose. America was the first country
looked to and to provide funds for emil
grants and for the education of their chill
oren was the prime object of his munifi-
cent gift of $4,000, 900 francs, but persecu
ton OF Jews still continuing in Russia. it
became necessary to find some other outlet
than the United States, and a commission
composed OF three competent men went to
the Argentine republic for the purpose of
reporting on the agricultural prospects of
that country. Their reports being favor
able. further important sum will be pro
v1ded by Baron de Hirsch for the purpose
OF enabling Russian Jews to emigrate to
that country. Baron de Hirsch also has
Just given 100000 francs for Galician
schools. This latter gift probably gives
rise to the erroneous reports which have
appeared in papers that he had given said
sum second time TO the United States.
whereas he simply handed it over to the
American trustees of the capital of his
former gift.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
PARIS. Feb. 19.-TBy cable to the New

ion from General de Gallifet, the hero of
the Franco Mexican war, the leader of the

of four chiefs of the French army when on

great warrior and the cleverest tactician
revealed during the American war. He
was the one who applied for the first time
the principles of modern war. He saw the
part to be played by railroads in the rapid
concentration of troops. He was quick in
aggressive action. He deserves sincerest
admiration"
General Lewal, ex-minister of war and a
prominent writer on tactics said: 81 can
not venture to judge in few words such
an accomplished warrior, and who was GER
talnly one of the most accomplished of the
great captains of modern times and 1 have
