For Islands to Remain Spanish Would In
evitably Cause Appalling Bloodshed
Says An neutrality-suspicious. Orders
Must Go AT Any Rate.
Manila, September 1s.-In an interview
had with him by the correspondent of the
Associated Press, Archbishop Dozal of the
Philippine islands, said:
''I earnestly hope the islands will not
remain Spanish, because the rebels are
now SO strong that such course would
inevitably cause appalling bloodshed. The
re-conauest of the natives is impossible
until after years of the most cruel war
fare.'
He also expressed the hope that the
islands would not become absolutely in
dependent, because it was certain that
dissensions would occur which would re-
suit in inoessant strife and lapse into
barbarism and the natural Incidence of
the tropical race. The only hope the arch-
bishop declared was that a strong western
power would intervene now. Delay was
dangerous because the people are intexi-
Gated, vain-glorious and restless.
He said it was undeniable that the
religious orders must go because the whole
people had determined to abolish them
now that they wore unable to render their
retention impossible. He lay the chief
blame upon the Dominicans, Augustines,
Franciscans and Recoletans, the richest
orders, and next upon the Bsnedictines
and Capuchins, which re Of less import
ancs. The Jesuits, Archbishop Dozal
says, are comparatively blameless. He
added that the rival orders quarrel among
themselves, intrigue, act unworthy and
slander their opponents, thus increasing
their general disfavor.
The provincials, who are approximately
equivalent to archdeacons are mainly re-
sponsiEle. They are utterly beyond the
control of the archbishop, who denies pos
sessing much power r.
The total number of Spanish priests in
the Philippines before the war was about
one thousand, but latterly every departing
steamer has taken fifty or hundred of
them away and now bare ly 500 remain.
A native priest privately stated to the
correspondent that the reason the. arch
bishop hopes for the expulsion. Of the
friarly ordsrs, is that they have grown too
powerful for him and that he wishes to
strengthen himself. Several responsible
Spaniards assured the correspondent that
they would refuse to remain here If Spain
was reinstated in the control of the is
lands. Many of the Spanish soldiers re-
fuse to serve again and Spanish officers
are utterly disgusted with the rottenness
of Spain's government and prefer to be-
come American citizens. The annexation
lists have majority of II in the national
assembly, but the discussion on the SUBJ
jecs has not been finished.

PEARY MAKING PROGRESS.

New York, September IA letter re-
ceiyed in this city from Explorer Peary
says that on August 13 he was at Etah.
near the entrance of Smith Sound, up
which he probably proceeded soon after
he wrote II he was to reach his proposed
new camp on the northwest coast of
Greenland this season. Etah. or Fort
Foulke, was the place where DR.. I. I.
Hayes spent the winter of 1S60-6l on his
exploring vessel United States 1t is
considerable distance north of Mr..
Peary's former winter camps. Mr.. Peary
wrote that thus far his plans had pros
pered. He had taken aboard his steamer
Windward, ten Eskimos, sixty dogs, and
the carcasses of sixty walrus which will
supply large quantity of food for his
dogs and the natives. He was about to
send his auxiliary ship, Hope, back to
ST. Johns. There is no doubt that Mr.
Peary reached the north water at Etah in
advance of Captain Sverdrup's expedition
on the Fran, and it is gratifying to hear
that his plans were entirely fulfilled in
respect to the natives whose assistance he
desired to have in his far northern work.

WOMAN AND THE WHEEL.
From the Gazette, Dclaware, Ohio.

The healthfulness of bicycle riding for
women is still a disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
Used in moderation it surely creates for
women a means Of outdoor exercise, the
benefit of which all physicians concede.
Used to excess, like any other pastime, its
effect is likely to be dangerous.
The experience of Miss Bertha Reed, the
seventeen-year-old daughter of Mr.. J. R.
Reed, 335 Lake St., Delaware, Ohio, may
point a moral for parents who like Mr.. and
Mrs Reed, have experienced some concern
for their daughters who are fond of Wheel

ridden great deal, began to fail in an
alarming manner. She grew steadily paler

A BOGUS RELIC.

Amusing Instance of Manner in which
Museums Are Imposed Upon.
A very amusing instance of the wav
In which museums are imposed upon
has just come to light, says the st.
James Gazette. At the French reyo-
luton, when the Cathedral of st. Denis
was SO mutilated, the figures which
ornamented the beautiful gothic tomb
OF Dagobert were thrown down, and
for the most part destroyed, all that
remained being the body of his Queen
Nantilde and the head of his son Clo-
Wis. When the restorers stepped in
subsequently they made the best they
could of the bits, putting the sons
head on the mothers body and calling
it the Refine Nantilde. Not long ago
more intelligent restorers put an end
to this absurdity, and there are now to
be seen at st. Dens two statues on
which the original portions of each
are preserved. But meanwhile casts OF
the hybrid were taken, and they still
exist in the collection of the Beaux
Arts in Paris and in the National Ba-
varian museum at Munich as examples
to students OF all that is best in Gothic
art. But this is not all. In the great
museum at Berlin. in the sculpture de-
partment. there is small statuette of
stone, with various cracks and flaws
which give 1t an antique appearance,
which is nothing less than smaller
and very imprudently made counterfeit
of the hybrid. The forger felt the diff
fculty which might be raised to plac-
Ing mans head above woman's
