Rt. Rev. Arthur G. A. Hall, bishop of
Vermont in recent letter to the clergy
and congregations of the diocese of Yer
mont, says: Whatever may have been
our opinions about the beginning of the
war, few persons, imagine, can now fail
to recognize that our country has been
used by Almighty God as an instrument
for putting an end to selfish system of
misgovernment. 1t was, l honestly be-
Geve, the desire to free a down-trodden
people from intolerable oppression, and to
extend to others blessings which we enjoy,
which moved the mass Of our people gladly
to submit to the sacrifices demanded by
the war. The heavier duties and respon-
sibilities now rest upon us of turning to ac-
count our victories and establishing q
righteous and a stable rule in the place of
that which we have overthrown."

PRESIDENTS PAPER PREPARED.
The Cabinet Approves 1t at a Special
Meeting.


Washington, April 4-The President has
completed his Cuban message, and 1t will
be presented to Congress on Wednesday.
| Secretary Long, after a special cabinet
| meeting tonight, authorized the ,Associat-
ed Press to make this statement:
The message, which is in itself long, win
not be accompanied by the consular re-
ports dealing with the state of affairs in
Cuba These will go 10 the committee on
foreign relations of the Senate for their
private information, and will not be made
public just now. The diplomatic corre-
spondence will not be submitted at pres
ent.
The. cabinet meeting lasted from till
after II o'clock, and was devoted entirely
to the careful reading and discussion of
the Presidents draft of his message. Every
member of the cabinet was present. The
document was gone over point by point
and met with the approval of the cabinet
in every material respect. The only
changes made were in few points of
verblage.
When the meeting was over and tho
members dispersed there was a general
air of relief and satisfaction on all faces,
as though the air had been cleared OF
doubt and the members, firmly resolved
on what they deemed the proper course
of action. had set out TO follow the course
to its logical conclusion. The suspense
evidently was over
Secretary Long apparently had been
deputized as spokesman for the meeting
and gave the above brief statement. AS

fused to speak.
1t was learned from other sources, how

previous wars in Cuba. That it will con-

message ii is inferred that its main feat

parsonage cannot be quoted; but no one is
better qualified TO speak with knowledge
on the subject.
This minister said: There is no Papal
telegram whatever. What happened was
that the Spanish ambassador at the Vatl-
can was approached by Cardinal Rampol-
la (the Papal secretary OF state), who told
him the President OF the United States
had allowed il to be understood that peace
intervention would be acceptable.
The Spanish ambassador wired
mere to that effect. and thereupon we IN
dieated that though having sent cate
gorical reply to President Mckinley, the
terms having previously conceda TO the
last point consistent with Spanish honor,
we were certain the Pope would respect
the rights and honor of Spain and agreed
TO his Intervention. 1t was impossible for
our regular army. fighting rebels. to agree
TO offer an armstice at the suggestion of
a certain foreign power but when the
father of Christeudom, without material
force, but with vast moral power, offered
Intervention we could not refuse accept
ing, knowing well that reliance might be
placed upon his Independent judgment"

GOVERNMENT nuYs TEN SHIPS.
Kansas city One of the Vessels
BouEht for an Auxiliary Cruiser.

Kansas city Ono of the Vessels
bought for an Auxiliary Cruiser.
New York, April 4.-Upon receiving an
order from Washington to-day TO buy ten
vessels, the naval auxiliary board pur-
chased the following for auxiliary cruis-
ers:
Caracas and Venezuela of the Red Line,
Kansas City of the Savannah Line. York
town, jamestown and Princess Ann of the
Old Dominion Line El Sol and three 9TH
ers of the Morgan Line.
President Conner of the Ocean Steamship
Company could not be seen last night in
reference to the rumored purchase and
Vice President Egan is out of the city.
The opinion here seems TO be that the
Kansas City has not been sold. This opin-
ion was expressed by one who should
know something about the sale If 1t had
been made.
The Kansas City is one of the three
ships of the Savannah line which were
recently inspected in New York by the
government to be used as auxiliary cruis-
ers. The other ships are the City of Au-
gusta and the City of Birmingham. In
the government inspection the arman-
ment of the Kansas City was figured at
six 5-inch guns, six 6-pounders, and four
1-pounders
In the armament OF auxiliary cruisers
the number of guns is based upon the ton
mage In the majority Of auxiliary cruisers,
as in the case of the Kansas City, the main
deck would become the gundeck, because
1t is stronger than the spar deck. This
deck will be strengthened by "a layer of
four-inch planking above andebelow, for it
is here that the five and six-inch guns will
be mounted. The only guns on the spar
deck are either forward or aft. The maga-
zines will be constructed In the interior of
the hull below water line. There will be no
time to protect the engines with armor
plate, and four-inch plates of steel laid on
heavy beams will be adjusted at an angle
all about the engines and protect them as
completely as possible. This protection will
also include the boilers.
The 6-inch guns each weigh five tons
and throw a 100-pound projectlle. The
range of gun of this sort Is theoretically
six and one-haH miles, but really for prac-
teal purposes is about three miles. The
range of a gun depends upon its angle at
the time of discharge, and il is absolutely
impossible to fire a 6-inch gun al an ex-
treme angle, for the reason that there is
not a ship in the United States navy with
a deck of sufficient strength to endure the
recoil.
More than 100 of the guns necessary to
arm the auxiliary cruisers are now In
storage in New York ready to be utilized
at a moments notice
The Kansas City Is now in New York.
Her next scheduled sailing from Savan-
nah is next Saturday.
