and doubtless more killed and drowned.
Wounded and others on board Spanish
man-of-war and Ward line steamer.

West for crew and few pie ces of equip
ment still above water. No one had
other clothes than those upon him.
"Public opinion should be suspended
till further report. All officers believed

yet accounted for. Many Spanish Off
GERS, including representatives of Gen
eral Blanco, now with me and express
sympathy"
The secretary of the navy received
another dispatch from Key West at the
same time with the above, but its con-
tents were not made public.

AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE
 PHILADELPHIA EXPOSITION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-This was sus- pension day in the House and several bills were passed, the most important of which was the bill appropriating S35O,O00 for the Philadelphia Exposition of 1899. The vote was exceedingly close, it having but two votes more than the necessary two-thirds Bills were also passed under the suspen- sion of the rules to authorize the distribu- tion of the assets of the Freedmen's S Bank to enlarge the scope of the Fish Commission to include game birds for the relief of the Fourth Mounted Arkansas Infantry, and for the relief of John w Lewis of Oregon.
 Bailey of Texas introduced a resolution in open House directing the Judiciary Committee to investigate and report on the question as to whether the members of the House who had accepted commits sions in the army had forfeited their seats in the House. He made the resolu- tion the text for some remarks. in the course of which he took occasion to bit terly denounce a newspaper statement to the effect that in his attitude on this ques- ton he had been made a catspaw by prominent Republicans in the House. He denounced the Republican who had insti- gated the statement as an infamous liar and challenged him to father it. There was no reply to Bailey's statement and the resolution was referred to the Com mittee on Rules.

WHAT PRIESTS HAVE
 DONE IN PHILIPPINES

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul was seen at the Holland House, where he has been stopping during his stay in New York. and said regarding the attitude of the Roman Catholic church in the Philip pines:
 the Philippines? The church in the Phil ippines will, l have no doubt, accuStom itself to the conditions under the new regime, as 1t did under the old. The church will acceS the conditions that are to be, just as it accepts them in this country. All the civilization that the Philippines have has been received from the priests. They are the representatives of social and civil order in the islands. The people were taught by the priests and they were taught too much The priests will uphold this Government as they upheld the Gov ernment of Spain. That is, as the repre- sentatives of order, they will uphold the existing Government. This Government will have to depend upon the priests to a large extent for their moral influence in law and order.
 This Government will do well not to an- tagoniZe the priests. And l will say l know it is not the policy of the Govern ment to antagoniZe them, nor is there any disposition to do so in any quarter.
 The Archbishop was asked if the pur- poses of his visit to Washington had been to discuss this matter with the President. He said:
 I saw the President, but I cannot say what the subject of conversation was. There is no truth in the published report that the Archbishop of Manila has issued a circular of an unfavorable character against the United States. Aguinaldo is jealous of the power of the priests and wants to rule absolutely himself. The conduct of the priests will depend entirely upon the policy of the United States in the Philippines and that l have no doubt will be the same as in this country.

REFUSES TO COUNT
 THE SOLDIERS VOTE

CARSON, Dec. 19.-The Supreme Court met as a Board of Canvassers this after noon and refused to count the vote of the Nevada Battalion, now at Manila. In SUD- port of the count Republicans urged that the constitution granted the right of suf- frage to soldiers when absent, and that the election ordinance of the constitution provided how the votes should be taken and returned until the Legislature should provide better means. In 1866 the Legis- iature provided this means. This act was repealed in 1873. but attorneys contended that the concluding section of the con stitution revived the means as provided in the election ordinance of the constitu- tion.
 . The board denied the request on the ground that it had no Jurisdiction and if any board should canvass the returns 1t should be a board under the election ordinance. The board then proceeded to canvass the State vote, which resulted in the election of the whole silver ticket. with the exception of the superintendent of Instruction, Cutting. In the Cover nor's vote no changes were discovered and Sadler is elected Governor by g
 The action taken by the Republican attorneys is preliminary to the steps of William McMillan in his contest of Sau- ler's election as Governor.

Hogs Let Loose

The cattlcmrn'S meeting ut Denver last
Thursday was The scene of disorder and
almost riot. The police We're l,owerlr~s
to control the crowds of people, which
acted more like packs Of wolves than
human beings.
The committee which hid the barbecue
in charge had oIlv arranged to feed
$1,000 people, but 40.01O presented them
selves. The hungry mass fairly fought
to get to the tables and the walters finally
resorted to cutting off great hunks of the
roasted meat and tossing it into the
crowd where a scramble would ensue
and the meat torn in pieces as though by
dogs.
The tables We're upset and confusion
reigned and at last the mob attacked the
roasting pigs and dragged sides of beef
from the trench and fought for them
after getting them out. The cattlemen
were completely disgu~ted and say that a
barbecue will not be a feature of the next
convention.
