NEW YORK. Jan. 22-The New
York commandery of the military
order Of foreign wars of the United
States held meeting in the Brevoort
house last night. After the business
meeting a dinner was given. Rear
Admiral Gherardl made the chief adj
dress of the evening. He said:
THE English are as stubborn as we
are, and they are just as proud. We
have inherited these traits from them.
I can assure you that England will
fight, but the last people whom she
wishes to fight, are ourselves.
None of these modern ships have
ever been in great fight and we do
not know what the result will be. But
there is not any man who does not be-
lieve that old Monroe was right. But
whom are we going to fight for?-
about as despicable and ungrateful
race as ever lived. These South Ameri-
cans do not like US and you cannot de-
pend upon their word They do not
have republic there in the sense we
have. They have no idea of anything
but force of arms. When / was in
Chile during the Baltimore affair, I
heard il said that the best thing we
ever did was to put our hands on Chile.
They have no more use for US than
you have for a robber. However, this
does not affect the Monroe doctrine.
We should say to Venezuela that no
one shall interfere with her, not be-
cause we love her, but because she is
on this side of the water. In a war
with England we should OVerrun
Canada in less than six weeks. But
we have no ships to fight We could
1nJure her commerce, but we could not
send a body Of troops to Venezuela. If
we made the attempt we would get
them there about the time the Ad-
Ventist's end of the world shall come.
Today we have only a few ships.
scarcely any battle ships. Cruisers are
only meant to act as pickets When
England sends out a battle ship it is
accompanied by four cruisers We
want battle ships and until we get
them we shall not be prepared to
tight.
4 do not think they would destroy
New York, but they might bottle US
up II was shown during the late
war that the forts cannot stop the
ships.
england has laid down two rules:
First, that her navy must be superior
10 that of any other power: and. Sec
ond, that it must not only be superior
but superior to that of any other ma
ton that might ally itself to any
power at war with England
England has such a navy and
wish TO God We had it: then we would
be all right. England is spending
hundreds Of thousands Of pounds an
nually on her coaling stations at Hall
fax and St Lucia. Every point about
these Notifications is closely guarded:
no workman Is permitted TO know the
extent Of the work and the different
workmen are changed frequently SO
that they may not be able to sketch a
plan Of the fertilization"

VENEZUELA VIBRATIONS.
London Times Correspondent on the
Situation.

LONDON. Jan. PIG. W. Smalley. cor
respondent Of the London Times, cabled
from Washington to his paper today as
follows:
The fun force of the English obiec-
ton TO the Venezuelan commission has
never: / think, been appreciated here
americans are surprised when they are
told that English recognition Of the com
mission is impossible. They hardly IN
derstand why they should be warned
by London evening paper that an
American claim TO determine the Brit
1sh boundary is one which could only
DO conceded after defeat in long war
ana that If such a demand was made bv
any other power 1t would be met Nv
handing their ambassador his passports
ana modifying a fleet.
Such language does not Clarity the Wis
ions Of the Americans. 1t simply creates
irritation and resentment The writer
Wno said 1t, might have reached the
American mind if he had merely asked
what Americans would say If the case
were reversed and if England should
appoint commission to determine the
boundary of an American state.
Justice Brewers letter is discussed
here as If it embodied a perfectly ma
tural appeal for the friendly co-onera
ton Of England in the work Of the com
mission. That also is the view of fhe

pEPEw CALLED DOWN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Senor Sal
vador de Mondonca, minister of Brazil
to the United States in communica-
ton to the Washington Post with
reference to Mr.. Depew's speech before
the New York association writes as
follows:
If Mr.. c. NJ. Depew were as well
acquainted with the Latin American
countries as he is with the financial re-
lations between this country and
Europe, he would know that at pres
ent there is no dictator in South
America, but a president, elected in
accordance with the legislative laws
of the country and there is as much
security for life and property either
of clLlzens or foreigners, IN brazil, Lniii
or Argentine as there is in the United
States or England and that no self
respecting Latin-American country
would countenance the idea of a pro-
tectorate even if offered them by
their best and most powerful friend"

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-J. c. Os-
valid, who arrived on the steamer Cop
tic from the orient. was an eye witness
of the execution of the five men who
had been ring-leaders in the massacre
Of missionaries at Ku Cheng. The eX-
ecution occurred at Foo Chow in the
/ presence of a vast number of Chinese.
only twenty-four Caucasians witness
| ing the death scene.
AT o'clock the prisoners were
brought on the ground in wooden
cages said Nh Oswald. Each of
them was conveyed to the tent where
we were sitting and to him was read
! the death warrant, after his identity
/ had been established. The mandarin
/ that read the warrant stuck an arrow
! through it and pinned the paper to the
/ back of the prisoners coat. After this
the doomed men were led to the
ground where they were to die. Five
patches of turf had been cut and in
each indentation a man knelt.
When all was in readiness the court
OF mandarins, accompanied by the
British naval contingent and the for
eign consular officials. emerged from
the tent and took up a position in front
! OF the canvas. Then amid an impress
sive silence, the crimes of the con-
demned men were recited to the crowd
and the penalty was proclaimed. Two
| Huna soldiers, splendid examples of
physical development, acted as execu-
TONERS. They stood behind the five
men, each prisoner having his head on
a block. At given word the execu-
TONERS advanced. Not the least sign
of fear was visible ON the faces of the
wretched Chinese whose heads were
soon to fall.
The work of the execution was very
rapidly performed. With one stroke Of
the az the head was severed from the
body and in just twenty-three seconds
the task was consummated. The blood
pulsed from the neck of one man for
twelve and a half minutes after the
fatal blow had been dealt.
After the execution the crowds be-
hind the soldiery pressed forward and
threw millions Of bits of biscuits into
the square. This is following out a
superstition of the country to the eff
feet that the departed spirits are likely
to grow hungry on their long Journey
unless properly supplied with food at
the start.
The heads of the five rfng-leaders
were placed in buckets which were cut
so as to give a full view of their
CHASTITY contents, and the buckets were
hung up on the Foo Chow bridge,
where they remained on exhibition for
two days. Then they were taken to
Ku Cheng, the scene of the massacre
of the ten Christian girls, and were
hung on trees where they are proba-
bly, still hanging. To remove one of
the heads means immediate death to
the offender.
