CHANCE FOR A u Z
Both Fitzhugh Lee and SenatOr-Elect
Money Hot Tempered.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, JAM. ia question of
veracity has arisen between two blooded
Southern gentlemen-Consul General Fitz-
hugh Lee and Senator-elect Money-and the
future is red with trouble. Money has pub
lished broadcast that he was made the
custodian of an important message from
Lee to Olney, and that he delivered it. Lee
says, with hot scorn, that he never author
lied Money to take any message or COM
munication to Olney and that he never said
anything that could be tortured into the
indiscreet remarks attributed 20 him by the
Mississippi statesman. This Is the lie di-
rect. something no blooded Southern gen.
tleman will stand. Money was widely ad-
vertised as a desperate man last spring,
when Bully Hall, of Missouri. hit him
over the eye with a loaded inkstand in the
naval affairs committee room. and he was
with difficulty restrained from eating up
the big Missourian, blood raw. He was
restrained. however. 1t is now feared that
he cannot be prevented from going cunning
for Virginia's hero. even ii he has to take
another trip back TO Havana to get at him.

less than 81. 900. But the cost for the din
ner did not really begin until the guests had
had sufficient rest for their heads TO assume

PRIESTS SLAIN.
Killed by Philippine Island Rebels
Mgr. NartfneIIi on Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The papal del
egate, Archbishop Martinelli, has received
discouraging news from his yicar-general,
Rodriguez, in Rome, regarding the rebel
lion in the Philippine islands. In an inter
view last night Mgr. Martinelli discussed
the situation iii both the Philippine islands
and in Cuba with considerable freedom.
Our order is very strong there said the
archbishop. las we have several bishops
and some 500 priests scattered all through
the province. 1t was too much to expect
that all of them had escaped. and the news
L received is bad. / have two letters from
my vicar-general, and he informs me that
five Augustinian priests in parishes about
Manila have been carried of by the reb-
els and no news whatever has been re-
ceived from them. In the absence of infor-
nation we believe that they are dead. Thir-
teen Dominican priests were also either
carried away or slain by the rebels, and
those who were taken off were afterward
killed; so we suppose the same fate has be-
fallen the members of our order. The re-
bellion in the Philippines is likely to prove
a most horrible affair. as the natives are
only semi-civilized. Spain. 100, is handi-
capped to some extent by the fact that she
maintains on the island only a scattered
army of about 1000 men. Spain will have
Il difficult task to subdue the half-barba-
rous people of the Philippines"
Mgr. Martinelli, after referring TO the va
rious reports regarding himself and the
affairs in Cuba, said: II have reason to be-
lieve that the rebellion in Cuba will be
ended very shortly. At least. so / gather
from what / hear from Rome. These re-
ports all go to show that the rebellion is
growing rapidly to a close. and that it will
probably be ended by the middle or last
of February. The Spanish seem TO be vic
torious every day. and TIE list of killed
and wounded grows constantly larger.
The close connection between the govern

-esuppos an inclination toward their
side. The Vatican has always been in ia
vor of established govern ,neiiI and against
rebelIions. Finally we have reason TO be-
lieve that as far as the church itself is
concerned we will be better treated by the
Spanish government in Cuba than we
would be by the new government, should
the rebellion succeed. 1t is sure that in
case they did succeed a large number of
Spanish priests would be banished from
the island and perhaps much property
would he deStrOXeG or cOn1lSCated.,
