DOCTOR BARROWS RESIGNS.
Religions Gives Up His
PaStOrate

Chicago. Marach 5.-Dr. John Henry Bar
rows. who was president of the worlds
congress of religions during the worlds
fair. has resigned the pastorate of the
kenwood Presbyterian church and will
preach the farewell sermon Sunday night,
March Is. 1t Is said he will enter upon a
missionary career for a year or So all
though his future plans have not been def
nitely decided upon. The failure of his
congregation to raise a sufficient sum OF
money with which to erect a suitable
church in place of the small wooden struc-
ture which he considers inadequate to the
needs of the community, is assigned as the
cause for the minister's action. His letter
of resignation was acted upon last night
at meeting of the elders and trustees of
the church. and within a few days gen.
cral meeting will be held of the church Of
ficers and congregation. at which time
some action will be taken TO fill the va
cancy.
DR.. Barrows was called to the Kenwood
church on his return from India to Amer
ica last fall, and has supplied the pulpit
most of the time since the middle of Sep
tember. The report that DIR. Barrows would
accept a position as DR.. Thomas assist
ant in the Peoples church was said to be
entirely without foundation.

SAYS HE SOLD SPAIN MINES.
Ten of Them Were Placed
I'm Hayana HarbOr,

London March 5.-According to the state
ment of man whose cards describe him
as being an electrical engineer, whose name
cannot be disclosed. but has been forward
ed to Washington, he sold to Spanish Of
ficers in London several years ago large
number Of mines. eight or ten of which
were placed in Havana harbor. He says
they were made in a special way, and had
a specially and peculiarly constructed cable,
which he contends he can positively identi-
fy IL the smallest piece is produced. Some
of the mines, the man continues, were fixed
SO they could be fired from fort, and two
of them had bulbs, so arranged that they
would explode upon vessel coming in
contact with them. But the alleged cleo
trical engineer adds that he does not be-
lieve the bulbs would be used in water as
shallow as that of Havana harbor. He
exhibited the plans of one of these mines,
which, he pointed out. was the most likely
to produce the effect described as causing
the wreck of the Maine. 1t was numbered
-" and was constructed to contain 500
pounds Of guncotton.
The man gives one the impression that
he has been sergeant of engineers. or has
held some similar position. He was appar-
emily thoroughly posted upon electrical
matters and submarine mines.
The man who made the foregoing state
ments is an Englishman and he says he is
willing to 60 to the United States as

IMPORTANT STRATEGIC POINT.
Dry Tortugas Admirably Located as a
Base of Operations I'm Case
of War.

Washington, March 5.-The proposal TO
transfer Dry Tortugas which is now re-
garded as the most important quarantine
station off our Southern coast to the war
department would necessitate the immed-
ate selection of another location for "A sta
tion off the coast of Florida. The quaran-
tine season against ports infected with
yellow fever and other infectious diseases
begins April l. so that If the war depart
ment decided to resume control over Dry
Tortugas and Fort Jefferson, which is To-
Gated there. no time will be lost by the
Marine hospital officials in fitting out an
other station. Already some correspondence
has been had with officials of the service
on the Florida coast and several of the
Florida keys have been suggested suit
able places to which the station might be
transferred. Among them Fleming
key, which Surgeon Murray at one time
considered superior to Dry Tortugas as a
location for quarantine station; Mullett
key. where the state of Florida now main
tains station. and Bahia Honda, which is
east of Key West.

Tortugas, which is directly in track Of all
vessels bound to the United States from

America and Central America. and the per-
feet character of the quarantine station.
It will be given up with great regret by
the Marine hospital service, il the war de-
partment insists upon taking possession
ffty-one vessels were disinfected at the
station and in 1896. sixty-one vessels. The
figures for last year, when the number was
much greater. are not yet available. Yell

taken to Key West.
The same advantages claimed for Dry

FLORIDA MAKES TROUBLE.
antine Rules VIII Be Enforced
Against the Navy.

Washington, March 5.-There is a promise
of new and unwelcome development OF
the Maine affair that, in the end, may lead
up to an issue between the government OF
the United States and the state of Flori-
da, If the officials Of the state indorse the
stand taken by the local officials at Key
West. The latter have notified Admiral
Sicard that on the first Of next month they
propose to enforce the state quarantine
law against all craft arriving from Cuba,
as a measure Of prevention against the IN
PRODUCTION of yellow fever. Inc notice IN
dtcateS that the law Will be applied TO the
naval vessels, and, in view of the serious
interruptions such interference with the
free movements of his ships would cause,
Admiral Scard has reported the facts to
the navy department and awaits instruc-
tions.
The department officials cannot tolerate
with equanimity the stoppage OF such cra!t
as the Mangrove and the Fern on thelr
errands of mercy, nor delays that may re-
suit in the prosecution of the work OF the
wreckers engaged on the Names hull and
in the work of the court of inquiry.
The president himself probably will COM
municate with the governor of Florida.
with view to securing an abatement OF
the law so far as it is proposed to apply
it to naval vessels, this being the speediest
manner of dealing with the case. although
it may be stated that the national govern
ment never has recognized the right OF
any local authorities to stop its vessels in
case their movements were deemed neces-
Sary. The warShips have voluntarily sub
mitted to quarantine when returning from
any port suspected Of infection. but this is
asserted to be merely a concession, and not
the recognition of any lawful right on the
part of state authorities.
In view of the fact that the officers on
our warships. with the aid of capable sur
geons on each ship, make it their pride to
keep their craft in the most healthful con-
dition. naval officers feel that they may be
safely left to run their ships between Ha-
vana and Key West without restriction. AS
an evidence of the care exercised to avoid
carrying contagion, the officials point to
the fact that. without suggestion from any
miral Sicard caused the wounded survivors
of the. Maine disaster to be detained for
several days at Tortugas before allowing
them to go to Key West.
