The Audax Forced to Sail.

QUEENSTOWN, April 25.-The British
admiral in command of this station, Rear
Admiral Claude e. Buckle, ordered the
Spanish torpedo boat Audaz, which had
been undergoing extensive repairs here,
owing to damage which she sustained while
on her way to Spain, to leave this port be-
fore a. m. to-day, owing to the proclama-
tion Of neutrality issued by the British gov
erilment. There is little doubt in naval
circles here that the Audaz, which left port
at 5:45 o'clock this morning, will go to Fer
rol or Cadiz from here, as a considerable
quantity Of her war equipments have still
to be placed on board of her before she can
be pronounced ready for active service. Her
sister boat, the Osado, which towed her
from Waterford into which port they put
after the Audaz was damaged, went to
Ferrol from Queenstown to be fitted with
equipments not furnished by her English
builders. In view of the outbreak of hos
tilties the dock company at Cork, which
has been repairing the torpedo boat. has
rushed work night and day on the small
craft. Since Friday her Spanish crew has
been in high spirits, continually waving
bunting and handl1erchiefs or otherwise ex-
pressing satisfaction at the prospect of TAX
ing part in the naval movements Of Spain.

DENCUNCES THE WAR.
Bishop Burke Creates "a Sensation I'm
Catholic Circles.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April 25.-Bishop Burke
has created a mild sensation in Catholic
circles here by declaring war between the
United States and Spain unnecessary, and
that it will be a calamity to this govern
ment and forever blot on our national
character 1.-THE differences between the
two governments could have been settled
by mediation" Bishop Burke said, in
sermon at the Cathedral, land there would
have been no war if the Pope had been
heard
The bishop paid President Mckinley
high tribute for efforts to maintain peace
and said the United States went mad. He
said Catholics would shed blood in this war
as they had in all others. He did not advise
them to stay out of it, but told them it
was their duty to fight for their country.
Bishop Burke believes the war with Spain
will lead to international complications that
may involve the United States in war with
other nations. Many Catholics are severe
ly criticising the remarks of the bishop. A
number left the church during the sermon.
