marks About the uuty of Catholics.
New York, February 26.-Father
Weber, whose recent declaration at
Rondout that in case of war between
the United States and Spain it would
become the duty of Roman Catholics
to fight on the side of Spain, has been
officially requested to leave the diocese.
This fact was given out to-day by
Father Connolly, secretary to Arch
bishop Corrigan, who explained that
had Father Weber belonged in this
diocese instead of in the West from
whence he came, he would have been
subjected to sharp discipline. AS to
whether or not Father Weber express
ed the sentiments attributed to him,
Father Connolly said that sufficient
investigation had been made to war
rant the course taken in his case.
An internal machine was sent to
Father Weber to-day. The machine
was discovered merely by accident.
When the contents pouch were dumped
on the mailing table, one of the clerks
noticed that black powder came from
the poorly wrapped package. The
clerk carefully opened the package by
pulling a slide which served as llc.
After the lid had been removed an IN
geniously contriyed box was discov-
cred. 1t was OF wood about six inches
long and two inches deep by two wide.
The box was arranged in two compart-
ments. Attached to the lower portion
of the box was thick sandpaper and
in the upper apartment matches and
about a pound of powder which would
have been ignited by the removal OF
the lid quickly. The powder was in
layers of cotton and a substance
thought to be dynamite was in the
bottom of the box.
The package was sent from Wash
ington.

a vast quantity of Cardiff COAL which
was shipped here for Admiral Cervera's
fleet.
Two hundred and fifty members of the
Sixth Massachusetts regiment are sick
and the men are anxious to return to
their homes.
The details of the evacuation of the
island were practically completed at a
meeting of the commission held today
and all now depends upon the Madrid
government placing transports at the
disposal of Captain General MaciaS for
the enbarkation of the troops. Failure
to send transports will embarrass the
Spanish commissioners, but the Amer
lean commissioners will probably not
set an absolute time limit for the evac-

Washington.
The Spaniards do not desire to con-
centrate all their troops here, for fear
of endangering their health until they
are informed when the transports will
arrive. In addition to Lares, Aguadilla
and San Sebastian. the Spaniards will
evacuate the island of Vieques on Mon
day.
