BISMARCK NO MORE
Germany's Great Statesman Passes
Away at FREDERICKSBURG.
HIS Last Hours Very Painfui-inter-
ment to Take Place I'm October
Brief sketch of the Remarks
able Mans Career.

Berlin, Aug. bismarck is dead.
Germany's "man of blood and iron"
passed away at 11:20 o'clock Saturday
night at his castle of Friedrichsruhe.
The entire nation--the nation which
he unified by his indomitable will and
unyielding purpose-is shocked by the
sudden news.
II appears that the eX-chancellor's
death was not precipitated by sudden
complications, but was rather the cul-
mination OF chronic diseases = neu-
ralgia OF the face and inflammation
of the veins--which kept him in con
slant pain, that was borne with the
iron fortltude which might have been
expected.
United States Ambassador White
sent the following dispatch 10 Count
Herbert Won Bismarck at Friedrichs-
ruhe:
ION behalf OF the whole American peo-
ple whether official or unofficial and OF
whatever birth or descent. i tender con-
dolsnce upon the mighty career now
ended and assurances OF the most sincere
sympathy for yourself and mourning fam
n.y."
Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE ceremony OF
blessing Prince Bismarck's remains
was performed Tuesday, only the near
relatives attending. The coffin was
then closed, and il will remain in the
castle until the mausoleum is com
pleted, which will be in October next.

POPE ASKS HELP.
Appeals for Protection for Priests
and Property In the phil
ippines.

Washington. Aug. 3.-The pope has
appealed to the United States govern
ment 10 protect Catholic clergymen
and church property from the insur-
gents in the Philippines. A dispatch
from Cardinal Rampolla, the pope's
secretary Of state, wns sent to the war
department from the Catholic legation
Ia Washington. The cablegram in
formed the department. that advices
received at the vatican from Manila
were sucn as TO cause the keenest anx-
iety for tine lives Of the Catholic bishop
and clcrgymen at Manila.
The insurgents who are encamped
outside Of the Philippine capital were
alleged TO be threatening the priests
and there was imminent danger Of a
general massacre. Cable messages
were sent TO Gen. Merritt and Admiral
Dewey instructing them 10 spare no
means 10 pre,ent any violence of the
Insurgents against the Catholic clergy
or property The Catholic incident
serves with ether circumstances to
confirm the grave fears which the adj
ministration eutertains in regard to
the situation in the Philippines.

FAILED TO SHOW FIGHT.
Resistnnce-victory May lie
Bloodless One.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Some reports
which have been received from Puerto
Rico, but which for polite reasons can
not be made public, have given great
satisfaction 10 the officials of the war
department, since they so TO show
that the resistance which can be made
by the Spanish troops will be very lit
tie and II is even possible that Gen.
Miles will achieve an almost bloodless
victory. In fact, IL has been suggested
with some plausibility that the Madrid
government. realizing the impendency
OF peace. and the lack OF loyalty
towards the monarchy OF the mass OF
Puerto Ricans, have allowed the Span
ish garrison OF the island TO under
stand that they are not expected TO
sacrifice their lives In useless resist
ance to superior force, SO that all that
is 10 be expected is 10 be rather for
NAL opposition 10 the progress of Gen.
Miles triumphal march across the
island.
Ponce, Aug. /. via st. Thomas, ID. w.
L., Aug. 3.-An outpost of the Ameri-
can army has now halted at Coamo,
about two-thirds OF the way 10 Aibon-
ito on the road TO San Juan. Col. Hu-
lings advanced this morning, met a de-
tail sent out 10 reconnoiter, which re-
ported that there was no sign OF the
enemy. The latter, il was said, had
Ietreated to Aibonito, where he would
make stand. A delegation OF the cit
liens of Coamo came out and Col. HUI
lings was rendered the freedom Of the
city as an American soldier. The citi-
2ens reported that the Spanish had
carried away all the money that was
not secreted. The stories OF Spanish
barbarity have been greatly exagger-
ated. There is no authentic case of
destruction Of private property or out
rage upon women. Gen. Otega is still
at Aibonito. with probably thousand
Spanish regulars. Gen. Stone, with a
small force. went Monday afternoon
TO Adjuntas. where Spanish outrages
were reported on Saturday. He will
occupy the town, proclaim American
rule, establish communication with
the surrounding country and push
across the Arceibo, on the north coast.
Ponce, Aug. 3.-Arroyo and Quay
anna were seized Monday and the
American flag hoisted by Capt. Good
rich, of the ST. Louis. A detachment
landed al Arroyo from the Gloucester
and the Wasp and met with no opposi-
ton. After entering the town and
placing ii in charge of his men he
moved on TO Guayama, four miles west.
Here he found that the Spanish troops
had abandoned the place several days
before. Guayama may be used as a
supply depot for our troops.

penitentiary. In the other the
president of a rich corporation
steals hundreds of thousands of
the money of the people entrust-
ed to his care, and he goes I'M

thiefis disgraced and punished,
the rich thief is pitied and pro-
tected. These are the things
that are making anarchists out
of honest men.
