TAKING NEITHER SIDE.
The Holy See Remaining Neutral, Ac-
cOrding to Cardinal RampOIla.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-In view of the
various conflicting stories which have been
published during the past two weeks by the
newspapers of this country and of England,
purporting to give the attitude of the Pope
regarding the war existing between the
United States and Spain, and which have
asserted various intentions of the holy
father to interest himself in behalf of one
or the other of the conflicting nations, the
apostolic delegate gives to the American
public the following cablegram, just re-
ceived from the Vatican, with the hope that
it may put all on their guard against Civ
ing credence to any of the rumors which
have been or may hereafter be published
concerning the position or tendency Of the
Pope and the Catholic Church:
Some journals, especially English are
diffusing insinuations with regard to the
Holy See in the present Spanish American
conflict, as though the Holy See were taking
the part of one or the other of the con-
flicting parties. 1t is superfiuous to deny
such foolish talk, the perfectly proper at
titude which the Holy See has maintained
and will maintain toward the two nations
being known to all, the Holy See having no
other desire than for peace. You will make
such use of this as you deem Opportune.

HERO PRAISED.


in order to enable them TO remove women
and children to places of safety.
Commander Lambertson said that when
the Spanish flag came down and the white
flag went up no other Interpretation could
be put upon it than that it was uncon-
ditional surrender, and the women and chill
dren ought not TO have been there, any
how.
Captain Sostoa remarked that we came so
early in the day they had no time to re-
move them, If we had not begun the fight
so soon the women would have been out
of the way. Commander Lambertson re-
minded hiM that the Spaniards had fired the
first shot However, he added. he was not
there to discuss past events. He had come
as Commodore Deweys representative to
take possession of the arsenal. All Span
iards there, he said, must surrender their
arms and persons as prisoners of war, 9TH
erwiSe our ships would open fire them.
Then Captain Sostoa said he could do moth
ing, not being in command, and would have
to consult his superiors.
Commander Lambertson refused to recog-
niZe any one but the senior officer actually
present, who, he said, must comply with
Commodore Dewey's conditions. Captain
SoStoa asked to have the terms of surrender
put down in writing, which was done, these
being the conditions: Without further de-
lay all Spanish officers and men must be
withdrawn and no buildings or stores must
be injured. AS Commodore Dewey does not
wish further hostility with the Spanish ma
val forces, the Spanish officers will be pa
rolled and the forces at the arsenal will de-
liver all their small arms"
Captain Sostoa then pleaded for more
time. Consequently Commander Lambert
son gave the Spanards two hours time.
If the white flag was not rehoisted over
the arsenal at noon, he said, we should re-
open fire. We returned to the Petrol just
in time, and started back across the bay
to report to the commodore.

The blowing of the whistles at the great
Oliver chilled pillow works at South Bend
yesterday morning, is explained by the
Oliver, in a characteristically modest state
ment in the daily papers that it was in
honor of the forty-thrd anniversary of the
establishment of that plant. He briefly tells
the interesting story of his early struggles,
beginning as a simple day laborer for the
ST. Joseph Iron Company, at Mishawaka
How, being unable TO agree upon further
terms with that company on May s. 1855,
he took his total savings of $780, walked
to South Bend, invested $50 of this capital
in an interest in little foundry and repair
shop there, which was the foundation OF
what has since developed into the greatest
pillow works in the world. Mr.. divers sim
pie recital of his remarkable career is of
deep interest to his wide circle of friends
here and elsewhere. who have watched with
pride his steady advancement, recognizing
in it the just reward of honest labor in
domitabe perseverance and good Scotch

The Cruiser New Orleans Now Far
of Commodore SchIey's Squadron


FORT MONROE, Va, May 9.-Commo-
dore Schley and his staff watched with
great interest this morning from the orloge
of the flagship the arrival of the new cruls-
er New Orleans. She came up hampton
Roads at a pretty lively gait and at ~
o'clock anchored about three miles distant
from the squadron. The New Orleans is In
command of Captain Folger and when she
dropped anchor here and saluted the COM
modores flag she became one of the flying
squadron. Commodore Schley and officers
of the fleet expressed admiration at the gen
eral appearance of the new cruiser: she
is evidently q better fighter than the de-
tached Columbia, although not quite so tast.
Commodore Schley decided not TO nave her
go up to Newport News for either coal or
painting and she will remain at anchor mere,
getting her coal from lighters. The Mime
apolis will come down this afternoon fuily
coaled and the squadron will then consist
of three cruisers, two battle ships and a
converted yacht.
The formidable dynamite cruiser, the
Vesuvius, got away finally this morning for
Key West, accompanied by the Sewanee.
Both boats will join the blockading squad
ron in the vicinity of Cuba.
The ST. Paul came in at $50 O'Clock ana
dropped anchor near the squadron. capt
Sgsbee. who is in command, paid his re-
spects to Commodore Schley.

Roosevelt'S Determination.
Harper's Weekly.

No gentleman who is Familiarity known to
the American public has bigger endow-
nent of the element of sporting blood
than Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, so there is
nothing unexpected in the news that he has
resigned his Office of assistant secretary
of the navy and will take the field at the
head of a cohort of cowboys and ranchmen
gathered from the border of the Rocky
mountains. No doubt active service in the
field will be good deal more agreeable to
a man of Mr.. Roosevelt's ardent tempera-
ment than administrative work in Washing
ton, yet the popular conception Of his use
his resolution to change his job is regret
ted He says, however that the he work Of
himself is finished, and that he has earned
his release. and that, moreover, he has
talked so much war talk in the last fifteen
wears that he simply must get out his
weapons and go with the troops; No doubt
everything that could be said to convince
him of the error of this attitude has already
been said and there is nothing left but to
impress upon him the superior wholesome
ness of boiled water and the Importance of
dry feet.

LONDON, May 10-The Biarottz CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail, diating upon
SPANS internal troubles, says: but for
the necessity of getting the war credits
voted in the Cortes Senior Sagasta would
have decreed the suspension of the consti-
tutional guarantees, thus placing the whole
country under military jurisdiction. The
difficulties for the poor people are worse
than those of the government. The latter,
by various expedients, can raise money;
the former are unable to obtain either food
or employment The wages of the labor
ers are too small to buy sufficient food for
themselves and their families. In the min

places the miners are nearly famished
Meanwhile spectators make corners to
raise the price of food, and industry is
paralyzed. In the Balearic islands thou

Spain, has suffered most deeply from the

The work of the political agitator is daily
