Riyermen who a few years ago were
very much opposed TO building dams
and dykes in the river, and who did
all they could TO prevent the govern

changed around a good deal within the
past few years. Now they are anxious
for improvements Of the character
named. II viii be remembered that the
building of the dam at Davis Island was
bitterly opposed by the coal and tow
boat men. Capt. John \. Wood was
about the only friend Col. Merrill had

struction. Now they do not see how
they could get along without it, and are

years had been SS1,49 ana that for SO
clergymen, GO widows and "A orphans

The clever speech OF Rev. A. W.
Knight in favor of Atlanta enabled
him to snatch the victory from Boston.
His amendment was carried by a de-
cisive vote and Atlanta will be the con-
yention city in 1898, if the Bishops con-
cur.
The House of Deputies had a sharp
debate this afternoon on the question
whether the Primate or head of the
House of Bishops should be elected or
hold Office through seniority of SER
vice. The vote was so one-sided as to
make it seem as if the sharpness of the
debate was not warranted. An at
tempt was made to reconsider the vote
by which the term Presiding Bishop
was rejected in favor Of Primate and
the motion only lacked eight votes Of
going through The Deputies spent
nearly all of the afternoon discussing
these two questions, and when ad-
jOurnment was taken the section had
not been adopted. There is some form
of a scheme on foot to defeat any re-
vision by this convention. The plan is
to have a joint commission appointed
to which shall be referred all amend
ments to the constitution adopted at
this convention with instructions to re-
port to the next convention Some of
the more conservative delegates are be-
coming alarmed at the rapidity with
which radical changes in the constitu-
tion are being suggested and the
strength which they seem able TO mus
ter.

GENERAL DE CAMPOS
Talks 60 "a Newspaper Correspondent About
the Situation in Cuba.


New York, October 9.-The World
copyright cable from Santa Clara, Oc-
tOber 5, Via Key West, tomorrow will
say:
Captain General Martinez de Campos
conversed with me for two hours TO-
day at the general headquarters of the
Spanish army in the city
The statement which follows is what
General Campos said in response to a.
series Of questions l addressed to him
verbally rs the special correspondent Of
the World:
AT present the military situation in
Cuba is satisfactory.
"The rebellion IN Cuba has attained
greater scope than ! anticipated when
embarked from Spain.
AT present there are numerous
small bands of insurgents scattered
about the country in the provinces Of
Santiago. Camaquez and Lavillas. In
Matanzas there are only a very few
rebels against the authority.
"The insurgents are not all armed
and their supply of ammunition is de-
ficient in some districts.
There is a considerable number Of
Spanish troops on the island though it
is not as large as the conditions war
rant.
Il have given orders that prisoners
shall not be cruelty treated and that
wounded insurgents who may fell into
the hands of the troops shall be well
cared for. ! do not kill prisoners.
"The war will be conducted on differ
ent lines from the last one. have
definite policy in my operations.
The country paths are generally too
bad at the present time for a persist
ent campaign. Again, do not wish
to expose the soldiers continuously un-
til the season in improved.
In November there may be looked
for as active and as aggressive cam
paign as I can make.
MY present plan is to divide the
troops into small detachments, the
number to each column varying accord
ING to circumstances. We're / to SEND
ont n column Of say 5000 men they
would have to march for their pains.
They would see no enemy. The in
surrents would melt away in the dense
and difficult country where they find
shelter"

Rome, October 9.-The letter of His
Holiness Pope Leo XIII, to Cardinal
Rampolla, the papal secretary Of State,
on the recent fetes in celebration of the
twenty-ffth anniversary Of the entry
of the Italian troops into Rome, was
published this evening. 1t is as fol-
lows:
The sentiment of humanity, which
even minds dominated by passion, re-
tain, seemed to permit of the hope OF
some consideration in our old age, but
this has been brutally ignored. We
have been reduced TO become almost
immediate witnesses of the opOtheosis
of the Italian revolution and the spoil
alton of the Holy See. That which
most afflicted us is the design to per-
petuate rather than to terminate the
conflict of which no one can measure
the disastrous effects. The final object
of the occupation OF Rome was not to
complete political unity, but in destroy
ing the walls of the temporal metropo-
lis to more closely attack the spiritual
power of the Popes. The object was to
change the destinies of Rome, return it
to paganism and give birth to third
Rome in a third era of civilization.
Nothing will ever confer veritable
independence upon the papacy so long
as it does not have temporal jurisdic-
ton"
The letter of the Pope then vaunts
the blessings of Pontifcal sovereignty
and invites Italians not to be bound up
with sects and to consider how pernic-
ious it would be to perpetuate the con-
fict which is prOfiting the enemies Of
Christianity.
The letter of His Holiness concludes
with:
IF Italians, throwing off the Ma
sonic yoke, would listen to us We could
open our heart to the fondest hopes.
Otherwise, we can but now predict new
perils and greater disasters"
