CHRIST and P|LA|E.
Pilates Report TO The
Emperor TiberiuS
REPORTED UNEARrHlNG OF
THE ORIGINAL REPORT
A CANARD.
Investigations That Gave A Color
To The RepOrt-The Earliest
Manuscript Is OF Date A, D.
Hottie Vatican Very Reti-
cent Over The Search.

New York, Nov. 5.-A dispatch to the
World from Rome says:
The World correspondent visited the
Vatican to obtain authoritive infor-
nation regarding the reported finding
in the Vatican archives of Pontius Pi-
late's report to, Emperor Tiberius of
the crucifiXion OF Christ.
One story current was that the orig
inal report had been found that the
Pope had ordered a careful study of
it. Another was that the document
discovered was not Pilates own report,
but manuscript of A. d. 149, referring
to it, while other fragmentary writings
of the third and fifth centuries touch
ing the same matter had come to light
also.
The correspondent found the Vati-
can authorities very reticent. Some Off
Gals were even chary of admitting
that anything had been discovered at
ALL and We're extremely apprehensive
lest they might be represented as CIV
ing color to an expectation that con-
temporary account of the most solemn
event in the worlds history is in ex-
istence. The sub-keeper of the Vati-
can archives said:
His holiness naturally is extremely
cautious about permitting the publica-
ton of any document with the i'm
print OF the holy see, the authenticity
of which may afterward be reasonably
contested. His holiness has been pro-
foundry interested in the possibility of
the discovery of the original document
referred to in, the one dated A D., 149,
but so far search has been Ruthless
The correspondent gathered that the
manuscript of A. D., 149 only referred
to the earlier report and contained no
details from it of any value and that a
careful, exhaustive search for the or
iginal is now being made in the Vati-
can imminent room by experts, espec-
tally commissioned by the holy father
who are also to search for references to
it in documents written earlier than A.
d. 149.
The first indication of the possible ex-
istence of this exceedingly interesting
report was obtained accidentally by an
erudite monk engaged in looking
through the archives of the fifth CEN
fury and gathering facts concerning
the early history of the papacy.
He then followed the clue back to
manuscripts of the third century and
then again laboriOusly pursued his
task until further allusion was found
in the document of A. jag. There the
investigation is brought to a standstilI
for the present and the pope has given
strict injunctions that no translation
of references in the documents shall
be published until submitted for his
sanction.
The attitude of the Vatican authori-
ties on the matter is one Of severe crit
icism, as to the likelihood of any orig
inal authentic information being I'M
earthed.

spring election, that we are able to do
in Milwaukee what could not be done

dent candidates on proper lines
throughout in no wise interferes with
the relative position and strength of

The politicians are few-some of

INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH.
This is All That Cuba Will Accept
From Spain.

0Poih'
New York, Nov. 5-The Herald prints
the following letter from Maxine
Gomez, general in chief of the Cuban
army of liberation dated in his camp
in Sancti Spiritus:r
THE enemies of Cuba have circulated
in the United States the rumor that
1 am opposed to accept autonomy as
a basis Of settlement or solution of the
present war. The constitution of Cuba
absolutely establishes in its article ell
even that peace is to be negotiated on
the basis of absolute independence of
Cuba. 1t is to obtain that independ-
ence we have been fighting for two
years and will continue to fight until
victory be ours.
"All statements that have hitherto
or may be in the future
published to the effect that we are Will
ing to accept any other solution short
of independence should be regarded as
false.
I'VE will fight for absolute indepen-
dence, as we stated in the manifesto is
sued at Monte Cristo, as also was later
set down in our constitution and as we
are daily confirming it by the spending
of our blood in the battlefields.''
Salvador Cisneros, former president
of the Republic of Cuba, writes to the
Herald:
Independence or death has been
and is our motto. We would rather see
our beloved country disappear than ac-
cept any concessions, no matter how
ample, unless they carry with them
the absolute independence Of Cuba.
ITO obtain this many of Cuba's best
sons have given up their lives; to OBJ
tain this many more of her sons are
daily shedding their blood, which, alb
sOrbed by the plants of our soil, we
breathe in the air we inhale."

COAST DEFENSE SERVICE,
New York Chamber of Commerce

New York Chamber of Commerce
Memorializes.
New York, Nov. 5.-The New York
Chamber OF Commerce has adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, the United States is now
constructing modern coast defenses to
include over 500 high-power guns, one
thousand twelve-second mortars and
800 rapid-hring guns, to be grouped at
no different points in about twenty-five
different harbOrs and has made appro-
priations for over $50 high-power guns,
and about the same number of twelve
second mortars, of which one-half can
be in their implements by June, 1898;
and
Whereas, the present United States
artillery force is wholly inadequate in
number to care for and properly man
these guns in their implements, or to
be properly organized into a defensive
system to furnish a Nucleus of its ar
tllerymen for the proper manning of
these guns in case of war therefore,
be 1t
Resolved. that we, the Chamber Of
Commerce OF the city of New YORK, be-
ing fully impressed with the urgent
need of an increase in number Of the
Federal artillery force, to properly in
sure the vast amount of property of
our city and other sea coast cities
against destruction and levying of com
tributiOns that would be visited upon
us in the event of war with foreign ma
tions, request and urge the president
and Congress Of the United States to
take such immediate action as will pro-
vide a force of trained artillerymen
for the proper manning of our sea coast
Defense and it is believed by US that
10 sea coast batteries requiring a num-
erical increase of the army of about
1000 artillerymen is absolutely neces-
sary to accomplish these purposes"
