How n New Family May Legi.imateIy
Acquire One.
The practice of granting arms is still in
vogue in England, Ireland, Scotland,
Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany,
etc., and that at times the Pope. as Sow
ereign Pontiff, exercises the power is wit
messed by Leo the Thirteenth granting
arms to the Catholic See of Westminster
by decree dated the 30th of June, 1894.
Indeed. 1t is by patent or grant alone
that new family can legitimately acquire
coat of arms.
The modus operandi in England, for ex-
ample, is as follows: The appicant.for
patent of arms (from the crown) may on
poy any member he pleases of the Her
aids College, and through him present a
memorial Of the Earl Marshal of England
(who acts for the crown in these matters),
setting forth that he, the memoriaiist, is
not entitled to arms or cannot prove his
right to such, and praying that his Grace
the Earl Marshal will issue ais warrant to
the Kings of Arms, authorizing them 10
grant and confirm to him due and proper
armorial enslgns. to be borne according to
the laws of heraldry by MIN and his de-
scenuantS.
This memorial is presented, and q war
rant is issued by the Earl Marshal, under
which patent OF arms is made out, ex-
hibiting a painting of the arm orial en-
signs granted, the royal arms of England,
the arms of the Earl Marshal and those OF
the college, and describing in official
terms the proceedings that have taken
lace, and correct blazon of the arms.
This patent is regis cred in the books of
the Heralds College, and receives the
signatures of the garter, and one or both
OF the Provincial Kings of Arms.
A grant or patent of arms is made to a
man and his male descendants; this gives
him fee sim pie of them, that Is to say to
him and to his male descendants equally

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Trying to Place the Blame for
the Sinking of the
Texas.
The Cost of the Mlshap Will Be in
the Neighborhood of
$4,000

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
battle-ship Texas, which has been in the
mud in the Wallabout for over forty
eight hours, will be floated into the
tim Der drydock three days hence.
The court of inquiry into the RESPONSE
bility for the accident convened at IL
o'clock this morning.
All the officers who were detailed to
take part In the inquiry were present.
The court went into executive session and
announced that all future hearings of the
court would be behind closed doors.
An investigation of the injuries to the
Texas which caused her sinking on Mon
day morning last was made by the court
this afternoon. Nothing will be known in
regard to the findings of the court until
Secretary Herbert has passed upon them.
The Texas was not placed in the drv-
dock to-day, as stated in a previous item.
She will be floated into the tim Der dry
dock. She must be Iightened by the re-
moval of 800 tons of coal.
The injury TO the ship from the influx
of water is considerable, but is mainly
confined to the machinery. Six weeks at
least is the estimate of the time it will
take to efface all traces of the battleship's s
"trip to the bottom of the channel"
The cost of the accident is placed in the
neig b borhood of 10000.

TO SAIL FOR VENEZUELA.
admiral Bunce's Squadron Said to Be
Under Orders to Leave for Southern
Waters Shortly.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1L-Ad-
miral Bunce's squadron will go to Vene-
zuela in a few weeks, unless q radical
departure is made in the plans perfected
at the Navy Department to-day. when the
admiral came down from New York under
summons from his superiors and devoted
the entire day to discussion of the COM
pick conditions that are understood to be
inseparable from the cruise. The object
of Admiral Bunce's new orders is de.
clared TO be without any significance in
the foreign affairs of the United States,
but relates altogether to the necessities of
effective administration.
Admiral Bunce, as we'll as all naval
officials, has continually urged the neces-
sity of keeping up the drills at sea, but
these require a base of operations free
from ice and easy of access, in which the
whole fleet can anchor without crowding
and where coal is cheap and good food
abundant. The Gulf of Mexico offers the
most admirable theater for such winter
operations, but the authorities have
agreed that on account of its nearness to
Cuba the presence of so large force in
the gulf would certainly be misinter-
preted at Madlid. When it was finally
con ceded that the fleet must be held
together and evolutions must be had, the
only waters where the ships could be
always III readiness for hurried return to
this coast if needed was found in that
part of the Atlantic near the mouth of
the Orinoco and at the entrance of the
Caribbean Sea, well away from Havana.

MADE Ready FOR Trouble.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. IA Sun
special from Washington says: Appre-
hension of trouble with Spain, growing
out of the Cuban war, has determined
President Cleveland and secretaries Olney
and Herbert TO put the navy on an effec-
tive war footing at the earliest possible
moment.
Since August % last, when Minister
Taylor at Madrid informed the State De-
partment of the defiant attitude assumed
by Spain toward the United States. yigor-
Gus steps have been taken to keep the
navy up to its full hghting strength Dur
ing the past few days activity has been
renewed, and orders have been issued
which show the intention OF the Navy
Department to have all the ships ready
By The first OF ber.
On August % last Minister TAYLOR at
Madrid learned at dinner given by the
British EN- bassador TO the representatives
of the foreign powers that TWO or three
days previous the Prime Minister OF
ambassador saying that in view of
the policy of the United States toward his
Government there might follow a resent
ment of its attitude, and in that event he
wished to be informed as TO the probable
attitude of the European Governments.
The note was sent to every legation at
Madrid and but for the British represen-
known 10 Minister Taylor. The morning
alter this dinner Mr.. Taylor sent
to the Spanish Foreign Office a
peremptory notification that unless
the communication to the Embas-
sadors was instantly Withdrawn he would
demand his passports and return to Wash
ington. This severance of diplomatic re-
l.. rol
recall of the Spanish Minister at Wash
inton. The promptness and vigor OF Mr..
Taylor's threat produced its effect and
within twenty-four hours every Embassa-
dor had returned his note.
The incident became known at Wash
ington, however, at once, through ca ble-
gram from the Minister, and the London
informed also of the Spanish Govern
ment's s request by their representatives at
Madrid.
For months the State Department has
known that Spain is irritated and annoyed
at the manner in which filibusterine ex.
petitions depart from the southern ports
with arms and munitions for the Cuban
insurgents.
The President, however, did not realize
the extent of Spain's hostility, or that she
was secretly endeavoring 10 sound other
governments as to their feeling toward the
United States. but recently Mr., Taylor has
forwarded to Washington additional evil
Jence that Spain has seriously thought of
forcing trouble with the United States in
order to escape from the Cuban dilemma.
From the White House comes the nm
official statement that there is to be no
reversal of the administrations policy.
and that unless the situation is decidedly
changed in Cuba the President will ad-
here strictly to his original contention of
withholding recognition of Cuban bel
Hgerency until there are stronger evil
dences of the ability of the insurgents to
maintain some form of government.
There is no reasonable ground to be-

Hivana's Excitement Over the News
Is Intensified by Rumors From
Washington.

KEY WEST, FLA, Nov. 11.-Passen-
bring intelligence that the capture of Qua
marc was of more Importance than first
reported. When the news reached Ha-
vana it caused great excitement. 1t was
only partially printed but was wired to
Madrid and made sensation. 1t is said
1t so stirred the people that they forced
the Government to oblige Weyler to take
the field.
The steamer Julia. which arrived at
Havana Sunday from Nuevitas, re ports no
communication with the city OF Puerto
Principe since the 9th. Many bridges
have been blown up, culverts burned and
about seven kilometers OF railway track
torn up. Great anxiety prevails in Nuevi-
tos regarding the fate of Puerto Principe.
The steamer brought letters detailing the
attack on Guamaro. 1t appears that
General Calixto Garcia, with a large rebel
force and two pieces of artillery. attacked
the place on October II.
The next day he captured the trenches
and DESTROYED ten iorts surrounding the
town. The garrison, $50 soldiers and
twenty armed citizens, surrendered, but
were ordered released, except Quarter
master Miguel Mola. who, being Cuban,
attended the wounded. They were then
sent to Puerto Principe under an escort.
The officers were patroed. Major Mar
tinez, in command of the detachment,
was wounded in the arm and died at the
hospital as a result of the amputation.
The citizens of the town were forced to
aid the rebels destroy the trenches, houses,
etc. The church tower was blown up with
dynamite. Much war material was cap
tured. All stores were sacked, the owners
made prisoners and ransoms asked
The so-called fusion OF local political
parties is farce. 1t was all done by cir
culation. Civil Governor Pecura, acting
under instructions OF Weyler, forced the
leaders of the party TO accept. Their
resolution was taken the same day Wey-
ler left for the field, who feared to leave
behind troublesome elements.
There is a great undercurrent of i'll feel
ing against Weyler in Spanish circles. Ii
is known that be has been pushed TO take
the field. 1t is expected he will fail in his
campaign against Maceo. The latter is

tains. Last night Weyler camped in the
Gohernarado hills, and news has arrived
that he had an engagement: with the rebel
parties under Perico Delgado and Perico
Diaz. 1t is reported that Weyler was
forced to fall back. News has also been
received that General Munoz made an
other attack on the Rubl hills. where
Maceo is supposed to be strongly en-
trenched. A fierce fight is said to have
occurred, but no details are known.
Great excitement prevails at Havana,
not only on account of the above, but also
because of news received from the United
States regarding President Cleveland 3

Cardina'.
The st. Paul Prelate Is Caustic ally
Spoken Of as the "Apostle
of Heresy."

NEW YORK. n. Y. Nov. 11-A special
cable to the journal from Rome says:
Cardinal Satolli has just presented to the
Pope his report on the religious questions
in the United States. Although this docu-
ment is destined not to be published it is
nevertheless perfectly well known what
it contains, and I am thus in position
to give you interesting information with
respect to it.
Cardinal Satolli makes a veritable ac-
cusation against Bishop Keane and the
Catholic University OF the United States
at Washington. He accuses Bishop
Keane of having in several public
speeches uttered opinions which bordered
on heresy, and says that in accord with
Archbishop ireland he endeavored to ac-
climatize Neo- Catholicism (new CathoIi.
cism) on American soil.
Cardinal Satolli declares that the uni
versity at Washington had become the
heart of these ideas, where the most bold
and risky theories were put forward.
Fortunately, he says, the removal oi
Bishop Keane has cut short the evil at its
root. but the Bishop left behind danger
Gus disciples in the persons of numerous
professors of this university. and the Car
dinal advises the Pope to deprive them, in
their turn. of their Offices.
But the Cardinal shows himself much
more severe in his arraignment of Arch
bishop Ireland. He declares that this
Prelate is the creator of Neo- Catholicism
in the United States and he formally
accuses him of being the "apostle o1
heresy.''

One OF the great troubles of National

know that ii once recognized by
the chair, the bulletins that are

1t does not matter cent that the vast

say years afterward: II spoke at the con-

special from Birmingham, Ala, says:
Alabama clergymen have probably
sounded the death knell of racing and
poolselling in this State. The Birming-
ham Pastors Union yesterday, acting as a
committee for all denominations, sent to
the State Legislature at Montgomery a
copy of the bill by which they expect to
kill pool-selling.
The bill absolutely prohi bits any sale of
pools on horseraces run in or out of the
state, under penalty of $500 1t con-
tains clause intiicting dissolution upon
corporations dIsoheving the law, and pro-
vides for fine of $1,000 for making books
on races or running a poolroom. Each
legislator has been urged to work for the
passage OF the bill by personal solici.a-
ton.
The movement was begun by the Pas
tors Union of Birmingham last spring
and was occasioned by the intense excite
ment attending the Southwest circuit
races here last March. Afterward the
ministry of the State gave the movement
an almost unanimous support.

Speech.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 1.-THE
Star says: II is said to be the intention
of c. P. Huntington to try to get the Pa
cific railroad funding bill through at the
coming session of Congress One of the
leading friends of the funding measure
has already sent his private secretary here
10 secure facts for speech to be made in
the House soon after the session begins, in
favor of passing the BILL which has been
reported from the committees of House
and Senate.
Mr.. Huntington's plans are, of course,
not known, but various matters mbine
10 give the impression that he will seek to
put the bill on its passage at the Decem-
ber session. The present House has been
thought to be favorable to funding. For
some reason the Senate is thought to stand
the same way.
The con- position OF the next House will
be uncertain. Furthermore, opposition to
funding Will be more patent in the next
House. The delegation which has been
elected to the House from California in
the next Congress is unanimously op-
posed to the present bill The present
delegation is unanimous. with the exec p-
ton If Representative Grove l.. Johnson.
He was defeated this year solely, it is said,
on the ground that he was friend of Mr..
Huntington and of the funding bill. A
united opposition in the next Congress
tom California will have strong effect,
it is urged.
Should tariff legislation engross the
coming session, there might be delay for
the funding bill. 1t might have TO go over
o the next Congress, but should there be
no legislation on the Dingley bill or a
kindred measure. the House would not be
so occupied that 1t could not take up the
bill.

lieve that Mr.. Cleveland contem plates any
change in his attitude between now and
March unless Weyler is utterly routed
in his present campaign and the insur-
gents are enabled to seize and hold some
town sufficiently long to set up govern
ment.
While it is generally accepted in ad-
ministraiion circles that the President
will not recon mend to Congress any action
with reference TO Cuba, it is under
stood that he will refsr 10 the defiance
manife-ted by Spain and warn the country
of possibilities of serious trouble, if in
deed. it does not occur before the meeting
of Congress.
General Miles and the military experts
of the army can see no possible way in
which Weyler can defeat the insurgents if
his campaign as now outlined Is TO be
carried out.
