A Sacri!egious Fake.

alleged miraculous Photographic repro
duction of likeness Of Jesus. The Os-

Among the relics of the house of Savoy
IL il winding sheet in which, it is said,
Joseph of Arimathea wrapped the body
of the crucilied Savior, and on which are
almost imperceptible blood stains, family
outlining the contour of a body. The
relic was recently exposed i'll Turin
Cathedral. An amateur photographer
obtained the King permission to photo
graph the relic. When the negative was
developed the blood stains were repro
duced with such clearness that the face
hands and limbs were accurately shown.
They are so lifelike. say the newspapers.
that the picture seems to have been taken
directly from Jesus. Crowds of curious
ana plous persons are now tiocking to
the house Of the photographer, whose
name is Seccondo Pia.

DEMANDS OF ITALIANS.
War Ships Prepared to Force COIOm-
bia to Pay $25O,OOO.

WASHINGTON, July 15-The State De-
partment has been informed that the Italian
squadron, under Admiral Candiani, has
reached Colombian waters, preparatory to
making demand on the Republic of CO.
lomba for the immediate payment of $3.50, 900
awarded by President Cleveland to Ernesto
Cerruti, an Italian citizen. 1t is not known
that the squadron has as yet made the de-
mand, or that any force to execute it has
been exerted. On the contrary, the depart
ment has been officially advised that the adj
miral's instructions are confined to making
demand for the complete and speedy set
Element" of the award made by the Pres
ident of the United States. His instructions
do not go to the extent Of directing him to
seize the custom house at Carthagena, as
was first reported. 1t is said by officials,
however, that when a government directs
an admiral to make demand the appear
ance of his squadron is in itself demon
Straton of force and q threat that unless
that settlement is made the squadron is pre-
pared to enforce settlement in a summary
manner. Although the admiral is now pre-
pared to exert force, the impression prevails
at the State Department to-day that a set
tlement will be reached without the actual
display of force. Although not officially adj
mitted, the intimation is made that, since
Colombia requested the good offices of the
United States, these have been eXerted to
the extent of suggesting to the Colombian
government that d settlement was desir-
able.

officials the German customs officers have
denied the admission into Germany to a.
very large and valuable consignment Of

The attitude assumed by the German
naval commanders in the Philinpines is
without doubt a source of annoyance and
apprehension to our government The spirit
of Quibbling as between the insurgents and
the american forces in the Philippines at
tributed to the German government by its
own papers, is far from satisfactory to
government like ours, accustomed TO deal
fairly, frankly and openly in international
issues instead of adopting underhand
courses. Still our government is satisfied
that its interests are safe in the hands Of
Admiral Dewey and is adhering to its orig
inal intention of allowing him free hand
to deal with the situation. Until he himself
asks for action on the part of the govern
ment it is not the purpose to make any rep
reservations on the subject of the Phillip
pines to the German government.
AomlraI Dewey s recent mail communica-
ton to the Navy Department has given the
most generous recognition to all those who
participated in any way on board the Amer
lean ships during the battle of Manila in
Guiding a specific recommendation a to the
Chinese who are serving in various minor
capacities. This recommendation, affecting
matter of citizenship, was turned over
by the Navy Department to the State De-
partment, where the following statement
was made to-day: In further proof of the
nobility of character of Admiral Dewey his
recommendation to the United States gov
eminent that the Chinese servants and other
Chinese who were on the ships of his squad
ron during the battle at Manila, and who
rendered most efficient service on that oc-
casion and behaved in a most exemplary
manner, be recognized by this government
in some substantial manner. He seems to
think that men who have battled for our
country should not be excluded from it. In
referring to these Chinese he says that they
showed such courage and energy in the face
of the enemy that they were certainly
other countries who have not exposed their
lives for the country in which they seek
citizenship. He is decidedly in favor of
in such a way as shall admit them to the
United States in case they desire to enter
it and to become citizens of it."
