Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, April 4.-Rev. DR.. Charles
A. Briggs, professor Of biblical theology
In ITnion Theological Seminary, and famous
on account OF the great Presbyterian heresy
trial of five years ago, has resigned from
the Preshytery of New York and applied
for deacon's orders in the Protestant Epis-
copal Church. His present status in the
Presbyterian Church is that of suspension
the General Assembly meeting in Wash
ington in 1898 overruling the finding of the
New York Presbytery and suspending him
from the exercise of his ministerial office
until such time as he should repent. He is,
however. member in good standing in the
Presbytery.
The charter of Union Seminary requires
members of the faculty TO be members of
the Presbyterian Church. The seminary is
not under the control Of the Presbyterian
General Assembly, but it's charter remains
unchanged, and this provision is known to
have led to warm debates among the
board of trustees over the proper course
to pursue in the event of Professor Briggs
entering the Episcopal Church. Some favor
keeping him in the seminary, others think
the charter should nrst be changed. Sharp
criticism by the liberals is heard over the
fact that able divines are thus driven out
of the Presbyterian Church by the action
of the conservatives who are in control

FOR WEARING THE GREEN
British Sailor Punished for Display

LONDON, April 4.--There was a scene in
the House OF Commons to-day on the ac-

planned that 1t was a matter of discipline,
whereupon Mr.. Redmond, Parnellite MEM
Der for East Clare, holly replied to Mr..
Goschen and was called to order by the
speaker, who declared that his conduct was
grossly disorderly. Mr.. Redmond said that
at the risk of being grossly disorderly, he
must denounce as an outrage the sentenc-
ing of sailor to a fortnights imprison-
ment for wearing the shamrock. The
speaker then called upon Mr. Redmond to
withdraw, but MIR. Redmond did not leave
his seat until the sergeant-at-arms ad-
vanced, when he followed that officer out
of the House. repeating at is an outrage"
In an interview later, Mr.. Redmond con-
fessed he lost his temper. But he claimed,
there was some provocation in the action of
the speaker in hastily cutting him short, as
he intended to appeal to Mr.. Goschen to
mitigate the seaman's punishment.

Nana harbor. He said they were made in
special way. had specially constructed
cable, which he can identify if the smallest
piece is produced, and he added that some
Of the mines were fixed SO they could be
fired from fort, while two of them had
bulbs so arranged that they would explode
upon a vessel coming into contact with
them The man added. however, that he
did not believe the bulbs would be used in
water as shallow as that OF Havana harbor
Finally the man exhibited plans OF one of
these mines which. he said. was most likely
TO produce the effect described as causing
the wreck of the Maine. 1t was numbered

hundred pounds of gun cotton.
Lieutenant Commander ]. c. Colwell, the
vestigated the matter and has made a re-
port on the subject to the United States
government. The facts learned strongly
tend to show that Havana harbor was
mined and they unquestionably prove that
Spain purchased mines for that purpose.
The firm of Lattimer. Rhodes & Clark
electrical engineers. during 1SS7-sS, filled a
large order for Spain of lot of mines in
which were used 14i5 tons of gun cotton.
The work was directly under the surveil-
lance of General Fernandez and Captain
Bustamento. The latter was then the head
Of the Spanish torpedo school. BY order of
these officers the mines were divided into
four consignments, for Havana, Ferrol,
Ca6iz and Carthagena. The mines were

has experimental with these mines largely
at Portsmouth, and says that, once laid,
they retain their properties for fifty years.
In addition, Gibbons asserts that it is abb
solutely impossible for them to explode
accidentally as the electric currents for
their explosion are formed only by the
manipulation of complicated keyboard,
especially devised to prevent accidents.
Three keys are necessary, which are al
ways kept in the possession of different
officers, and, even If an outsider obtained
possession of them. it would be impossible
to manipulate the keyboard without in
structions. Gibbons further says the mines
and their connecting cables are numbered,
and he asserts he would be able to identify
them if any part Is secured.

ROME, April Alt is stated in Vatican
circles to-day that the Pope has not for
mally offered to mediate between Spain and
the United States, because he had not been
requested to do so by the two governments.
1t is true, however, that the Pontiff has
conveyed to Madrid his ardent wish for the
avoidance of a conflict and has asked Spain
to arrange for a suspension Of warlike mea-
sures or decisions. The Vatican refuses to
publish the text of the communications
which have passed between the Pontiff and
Madrid, but the statement that his Holiness
has asked Spain to arrange for suspen-
sion of hostilities in Cuba is confirmed
The Osservatore Romano, reviewing the
situation unofficialy, says: 1--WE must re-
gard Americas demands as excessive, es-
pecially as Spain has proposed to submit
the whole administration question to the
insular parliament 1t is difficult to per-
ceive on what pretext Washington could
declare war, even if so disposed; and we
have confidence that the wisdom and mod
grafton of President Mckinley, with the
Americans. will avert the horrors of war;"
The Italia, confirming the report as to the
communications that have passed between
the Vatican and the Spanish government,
SAYS: '"rhe prospect that mediation Will
eventually be offered is not excluded; but
the greatest difficulty will be to induce the
United States to accept the Pope as arbi-
traitor"
LONDON, April 5-The Rome correspond
ent of the Daily Mail says: Archbishop
Ireland has cabled deprecating formal Of
fer of intervention, and explaining that the
Pope could only intervene successfully by
recognizing the Monroe doctrine, which
would be impoltic. A rumor is current here
that Emperor William first preached the
idea Of papal mediation, and was warmly
seconded by Austria. The solution the vat
lean proposes is an armistice to save the
Spanish troops during the rainy season, al
lay excitement on both sides and prepare
the way for Cuban independence in the au-
tumn. Spain is agreeable to this, but there
is little hope that the Cuban insurgents or
their American sympathizers will accede to

CONFERENCES AT MADRID.
PapaI Intervention Accepted by the
Spanish Government.

MADRID, April 4.-The best Informed
people here believe an armistice between
the Spaniards and Cubans will be soon pro-
claimed The Pope, it now appears, sent
an eloquent telegram to the Queen Regent
urging Spain to grant an armistice in Cuba
with the view Of allowing negotiations to
be carried on between the insurgents and
the Cuban authorities for the early conclu-
sion of permanent peace. The Pope dwelt
on the suffering in Cuba and urged that
her Majesty take action on humane and
not on political grounds. The Pope added
that ''as the father of all the faithful he
could not intervene unless a stop was put
to the shedding of blood of the people who
are Gods sons"
Therefore he asks for suspension Of
hostilities. Previous to taking this action,
it is added the Pope, through representa-
tive at washington asked President Nc
Kinley if it would be agreeable to him
should the Pope advise the Queen Regent to
grant an armistice, and it is understood the
President expressed willingness that the
Pope should do anything in his power.
Since then the extraordinary activity of the
ambassadors has been noted, and it is
claimed, as a result of all of the repre-
sensations made to Spain on the subject
Senior Moret, the minister for the colonies,
who throughout has been anxious to do
anything to preserve peace, consistent with
what he conceives to be Spain's honor. had
an interview with the United States min
lister, General Woodford, Sunday, at which
he expressed SPANS Willingness to grant
an immediate armistice He pointed out
that the only condition Spain asks in re-
turn is one (which America would grant
even if unasked," and refers only to her
action after Spain proclaims the armistice.
The United States minister was busy at the
legation all day long, but the correspondent
Of the Associated Press saw Senior Mcret
at the Colonial Office in the evening. He
confirmed the announcement made of the
Pope's mediation between Spain and the
Cubans and added that the suggestion did
not come from the United States govern
ment. but from Rome direct. He added: 81

not relate to the Cuban question as the am
bassador has not received instructions con-
corning mediation or any other course of
action. M. Thebau, first secretary Of the
French embassy, also called at the State
Department anG had talk with Judge Day,
on subjects other than the Cuban question.
An arrangement was reached during the
day by which the United States and France
will cooperate through their ministers at
Denmark in the establishment of public

The French ambassador at Washington,
NJ. Cambon, has received no instructions to
act for Spain in the event of the withdrawal
nabe. This statement is authoritative,
after inquiry at the French embassy and
the Spanish legation. The story originated
in London, and stated that Premier Hano-
taux had given definite instructions to the
French ambassador at Washington to act
temporarily as the diplomatic representa-
tive of Spain soon as her own diplo-
matte official withdrew. Neither has the
French government determined to take the
initiative in mediation, although it is being
kept constantly and fully advised and is in
a position to act promptly in case it be-
