He Thinks Porto Ricans VIII Profit

BOSTON, Aug. 4.-Most Rev. Sebastian
Martineli, the papal delegate in the United
States, arrived in Boston last night making
a short stay with the Jesuit fathers of st.
Mary's Church, Endicott street. When
asked what would be the effect of the an
nexation of Porto Rico to the United States
he answered: Il am not a politician, and
do not know enough about the place to tell
whether it will be benefit to this country
to own it or not. AS far as the interests
of the Porto Ricans are concerned, there is
no doubt they will profit by the change"
''WlI your jurisdiction as apostolic dele
gate extend to that island when it is an
nexed? he was asked
That is a question for the Holy See to
answer. My lines of jurisdiction are al
ready drawn, and 1 cannot extend them
without positive order from Rome What
will be done in that regard, if anything is
done, is a question of the future and one
upon which l have had no communication
with the Pope. Politics do not influence
Rome in the management of the church.
We can safely say she will do what is for
the best
viii the church suffer in any way from
the political changes that are likely to take
place in the Philippines and other Spanish
islands,"
Il don't think that anyone who knows the
American people would for a moment en-
terrain a thought that the church will be
in any way interfered with, wherever the
United States, by conquest or purchase, ac-
quires possession. The change Of govern
ment Will take place, l suppose. but / ex-
pect TO see everything else go on as it has
done in the past. Priests as we'll as people
will be as well treated as they are here in
the United States, and the church will go
on doing the good work she has done in the
past. perhaps with a little more freedom. -

So numerous have been the recommends
tons presented to, the secretary of the navy
for the promotion or recognition in some
other suitable manner of American sailors,
officers and enlisted men who have so nota-

Secretary Long is devoting a good part of
his attention to reducing the expenses of
the Navy Department, which were so vastly
increased by the war. Such of the auxiliary
vessels as are unnecessary, but are owned
by the government, will be retired from

American liners the Navy Department will
surrender the vessels to their owners and
cancel the charter.

cast of face and form of head, and the cas-

There are no outward or visible marks Of
genius except that the general is slow and
deliberate, and that may be a sign of depth
and breadth of mental caliber. Aguinado
is unrutfied alike in victory and defeat. In
the privacy of his state chamber he may ex-

Aguinaldo's chief concern now is the pres

heads are cheap enough nowadays. but the
Spanish have bid this one up to $4,000.
When he first landed here Aguinaldo fought
with his men. but there soon came need
for more executive work, and an increasing
fear of assassination and the leader sought
safety in Cavite. There he is surrounded
by corps of his trusted followers. The
safeguards which surround him there are
such that he is protected from everything
