Yale this evening was not allowed to
land until he had shown medical ccr-
tlhcate to the effect that Immediately
after his visit to the Santiago army his
person and hfs apparel had been relent-.

The general OF the army has got so
far as to sacrifice his mustache to the
eXigencIes Of the occasion. Whatever
the deprivation may do for his health,it
has certainly so changed his appearance

his young daughter during her first sea

America when his death upset all plans.
For the past season Miss Goelet has

tie Has Resigned ITS Position In the
Weather nnreau OF tho Unltsd States
Governments

Elias b. Dunn. better known as Farm
or Dunn, Americas best known fore
caster, has given up his position in the
United states weather bureau. For near
ly a quarter OF a century New Workers.
and the citizens OF neighborlng stntes
who own large shipping interests have
looked upon MIR Dunn as nearly infalli-
BILE as n weather prophet can be. His
study OF weather conditions has been
deep and careful, and the successes
which he has scored as a lecturer ana
otherwise have been most remarkable.
The reason why Forecaster Dunn re-
signs his position Is because he was or
dercd 10 20 to the West indies or to take
n station nj Cleveland, Ohio. He says
TINT hewns removed from his New York
position only through Jealousy and that
his opponents were anXloug to either get
him out OF the United States or have
him take less conspicuous position.
However that may be remains To he
settled, but Farmer Dunn'B prophecies
have certainly been OF great benefit, and
Il r. not likely that another man can be
found whose predictions would be ac-
ceptcd with more confidence. Mr.. Dunn
created his grcnteat sensation when he
predicted the great flood of 1884, After
ward he gave warning OF the cxtruordl-
nary rise or the Ohio river and the lives
Of hundreds of people were saved by

Madrid April I'D 80 p. in.)--The cor
respondent OF the Associated Press had an
interview with high parsonage OF great
authority, who cleared up many 1iscrepnn-
cies In previous reports, showing just how
the papal intervention occurred. Unfortu-
nately the name Of this high parsonage can
rot be quoted, but no one Is better qualified
Is to speak With knowledge OF the subject.
The minister said: "Thcrc Is no papal tclc-
gram whatever. What happened Is the
Spanish ambassador at the vatican was
approached By Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal secretary OF state, who told him the

this Intervention. 1t was Impossible for

force but with vast moral power offered

This However, required ihc sane

and it is now question whether any bar
