Language of the Chaplain of the Greg on
Gets Him Into Tronbls.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Ever since
the printed reports of the sensational
utterances Of the naval chaplain, J. P.
Mcintyre, reached the navy depart.
ment, the officials have been making
a quiet inquiry into the accuracy of the
newspaper publications. The chaplain,
who wass attached to the Oregon, and
was on board when the battle OF July
3 was fought, was accredited with
some savage criticism of Admiral
Sampson, Captain Evans and various
others of the officers Of the American
feet. Apparently the navy department
has now satisfied itself that the chap
lain really uttered the" language
ascribed~ to him, for it has. ordered his
trial by courtmartial on charges of con.
duct prejudicial to good order aud disci.
pline and, unbecoming an officer. The
chaplain is now on leave of absence in
Denver.

SANGER PULLMAN WEEDS.
One of the Famous Twins Marries =
Red-Headcd California
Girl

San Francisco. March 11.-Walter Sanger
Pullman. one of the twin sons of the late
George NJ. Pullman, the palace car mag
nate. was married yesterday to Miss Louise
Lander West of this city. The unexpected
alliance of one of the heirs to the Pullman
millions and the California beauty. took
place at the home of the Rev. John Bake
well, rector of Trinity church, on Telegraph
avenue, Oakland.
Late yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Pullman,
unaccompanied. made his appearance at the
county clerks office in the Alameda county
court house. He made application to Dep
uty County Clerk Mason for a license to
marry.
He gave his full name Walter Sanger
Pullman. a native of Illinois. aged 81 and
at present resident of the city and county
of San Francisco. The name of his intend
ed bride he gave as Louise Lander West
a native of California, aged a, and a resi-
dent of the city and county of San Fran
cisco.
The acquaintance of the young couple is
at most OF few weeks standing. Mrs.
Pullman is a daughter of the late Chester
II. West. who was a pioneer of lS49. having
made the trip around the Horn with the
in this city and was at one time very
wealthy. He left but little property. and
his daughters made their own way in the
world teaching in the public schools.
Mrs. Pullman is a chataine. with profu-
sion of reddish brown hair. steel blue eyes,
long eyelashes and an attractive face.

COLONEL HARRIS VIEWS.
About the Cuban-Spanish
Situation.

Washington. March 17.-Senator Harris,
of Kansas. this afternoon said: I'VE do not
want war if it can be avoided with honor.
No sane man wishes to rush into such
horrible thing. If Spanish treachery were
responsible for the destruction of the
Maine. either officially or otherwise-and
believe the inside theory has been entirely
eliminated-she should be driven from the
Western hemisphere. She is responsible
If the disaster was caused by negligence,
just as If it had been done by design. If
had neighbor who fired my barn or pois-
oned my cattle, the sooner 1 could get at
him with the business end of a shotgun the
better would like it. 1 cannot say what
course the president will pursue when he
receives the report of the board of in
quiry. but, as congress unanimously voted
such a large fund for use in case of emer-
gency, it is only natural to think he will
refer the matter to congress. as we have
given him moral, as we'll as financial, sup
port. 1t has had effect, too. both on Spain
and on Europe. Congress will not ad-
journ until the Cuban and Spanish ques-
tions are definitely settled. and settled to
the satisfaction Of the American people.
They know what they want and have
waited patiently for the result of the in
vestigation. They are sensible. and. TAX
ing them as whole. are the most in
telligent people in the world, and when
they arrive at conclusion it is generally

SIX new TORPEDO BOATS.
Also Six Torpedo Boat Destroyera
Provided For in the Navy
Rtn

Washington. March 1.-THE house COM
mittee on naval affairs has disposed of the
question of increases In the vessels of the
navy, unless there is some change of dis
position among the members. The COM
mittee, by unanimous vote. adopted the
motion of Representative Foss, of Illinois.
to authorize the construction of six new
torpedo boats and six new torpedo boat de-
stroyers. and the provision for this has
been Incorporated in the naval bill. 1t has
not been decided what appropriation will
be made for this purpose. 1t is said to be
likely that the torpedo boats will cost in
the neghborhood of 100000 each. though it
is possible the sum given may exceed that.
A member of the committee stated that
the torpedo boat destroyers may cost be-
tween $4,000 and s250,OO0 each. There has
been no conclusion as to the amount to be
given for the construction of the five new
dry docks, about which. however, it is sig
nificant as showing economy that all of
them except that at Algiers, is to be built
of timber.
1t is now improbable that the bill will be
in shape for report to the house before
Saturday or Monday next.

Philadelphia. Pa, March 1,.-At League

that the board of experts who examined
the eight monitors have decided three Of
them. the Canonicus. Mahopac and Lehish,
are useless and cannot be put in condition
for service. The other five. the Nahant,
Jason, Catskill. Montauk and Manhattan.
can be fitted out for harbor defense. The
principal work required on them is to lay
new decks. Commandant Casey said to-
day that the monitors could be made effect
i've as defenders of torpedo fields. or where
they could be anchored in shallow water
and their big guns used to advantage. The
effectiveness of these guns, out of date as
they are. is formidable.

ADVOCATES AN ALLIANCE.
Wants England and America
to Get TORether.

Wants England and America
to Get Together.
London, March I7.-Rear Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford. in an interview with
a correspondent of the Associated Press
to-day, warmly advocated an Angio-Amer-
lean alliance as move in the direction
of peace and calculated to immensely de-
velop trade"
He added: 'Such an alliance is natural.
and I believe the mere fact of its con-
ciusion would deter others from attacking
any adequately defended interests of either
country. Now is the time to accomplish
1t, when the advantages are apparent to
both countries. A decade hence when, If
she desires, the United States can have
become a first class naval power and will,
perhaps, have adopted the policy of free
trade, it might not be worth her while to
undertake the responsibilities of an al
lance with Great Britain. When America
has built her navy. she will be in posi-
ton to enforce her demands. which will
not take her long now. with her enormous
latent resources and mechanical and en-
cheering facilities. An Anglo-American
alliance would be the most powerful fac
tor in the world for peace and the de-
velopment of commerce"
Speaking of the possibilities of the
United States going to war. Lord Beres-
ford remarked: IF she ever does. no
matter what happens at the beginning. she
must eventually win because of the en-
thuSiaSm and intense patriotism Of her
people"
