cations still seem to be that the report
will be made public by the middle Of
the present week Flint said after his
interviews with the president that
Chill and Argentina have the warmest
friendship for the United States and
her institutions" Neither country was
anxious, he said, TO sell their ships to
this government. basing this indisposi-
ton on the belief that we have an ex-

these vessels themselves. If the time
should come, however, when it was APP

with them to us.
Havana Reports Are Discredited.
The most interesting topic of the day
was based on the dispatches from Ha-
vana indicating a prospective confer
ence between General Pando and Gen
erals Garcia, Gomez and others of the
insurgent army for the purpose of sub
hitting TO the latter a formal offer of
autonomy. The basis of autonomy as
outlined in the dispatches practical in
dependency apparently found no cred
ence with the officials of the Spanish
legation. They stated their disbelief
that a conference on the proposed lines
was probable, and added that they had
no information on the subject. Minister
Polo expressed the opinion that the
report from Havana was unfounded as
he said the. basis upon which il was
proposed TO. grant autonomy was alb
surd. The report was from Havana,
via Key West. from whence also came
another report that the Cuban rebels
had captured Pando, the Spanish COM
mander in the field. Key West Gu
bans were holding a jollification and
specializing on what Gomez would do
with Pando. This report was denied
later.

illusions reached by that court. 1t can
be stated positively, however, from an
authoritative source that the officers did

Naval Appropriation Bill VIII Give the
Members an Opportunity.

Washington, March 21-Whether the
report of the naval board of inquiry
on the Maine disaster goes TO congress
this week with special message from
the president calling for congressional
action or not our relations with Spain
and the proximity of war-as viewed
from the standpoint of the emergency
preparations now going on to place the
country in a state of defense-proba-
bly, will be eXhaustively debated in the
house in connection with the naval APP
preparation bill, which appropriates
$50, 100000, the consideration of which
will begin tomorrow. The many emer-
gency items in the bill, the large in
crease in the enlisted force, the liberal
provision for battleships, torpedo boats
and dry docks, will bring the whole
subject Of the necessity for these prep
arations directly before the house.
While the conservative leaders doubt
less will seek to prevent infiammatory
expressions, under the recent ruling of
the speaker, which practically places
no limit upon the latitude of debs tie in
committee of the whole on the state
of the union, the leaders. except by
their example, probably will be unable
TO repress sensational speeches. An
effort is likely upon the part of some
radicals To force from those in the con-
fidence of the administration a declar-
alton of the policy of the administra-
ton regarding Cuba This they hope
TO do by taunting them with some Of
the rumors which have been floating
about in the newspapers during the
past few days.
An unusually large number OF sena-
tors took advantage Of the fact that
TO call upon the cabinet officers with
the hope Of securing definite informa-
ton as to the Cuban situation. They
succeeded only in learning that the re-
port of the Maine court Of inquiry had
not arrived, but that it was expected
early this week and that it would be
forwarded To congress Immediately upon
its arrival unless of an Unexpectedly
startling character. Some of them
found the high officials of the state de-
partment celebrating upon the line Of
policy 10 be pursued in case the report
Of the naval court should have the eff
feet Of entirely eliminating the Maine
incident from the situation. So strong
ly was this contingency dwelt uponthat
the inference was drawn by some of the
senatorial visitors that the department
beeen informed-that the report would
fail to connect the Spanish authorities
or the Spaniards with the tragedy.

Indignant Catholics,

Baltimore, May 3.-Leading
Catholics here are indignant at
what they call an effort on the part
of the London Daily Mail to place
the Catholics in this country in a
false light. Cardinal Gibbons said
tonight: "These statements of
the Daily Mail are entirely mis-
leading. l received the leading
Catholic paper of England, the
Tablet, in which expressions from
bishops and prominent clergy con-
stantly appear. Such expressions
show general sympathy with the
United States. The Irish Catho-
lies are almost entirely in accord
with this country, notwithstand-
ing the statements contained in
the Daily Mail, as cabled to this
country last night. Catholics in
the United States have but one
sentiment, concluded his Emf
nence. Whatever may have been
their opinions as to the expediency
of the war, now that it Is on they
are united in uphOldlng the gov
ernment. "

of Greenville's citizens, taken
from the report of the Baltimore
conference, will be appreciated by
readers of The TINES;
Wyndham Robertson Trigg,
one of the lay delegates from the
North Mississippi conference, is a
resident of Greenvillo. He was
born in Smith county, Va, Jan
uary %, 1884, being now above
GA years of age. He has been

nearly forty years;has been probate
Judge of his county; In 1856 was O
Mississippi legislature, then for
two years was chancellor Of his
district, and is now q member of
of the State senate and is engaged
In the practice of the law. Judge
1rigg isa devoted Methodist, stand
ing high in the councils of the
church. Outside Of his profes-
sional and official duties he has
found time to superintend the

many years. Judge Trigg married
a Miss Hurst of Mississippi in

grown children living. He is a
member of one of most dustin
