Roosevelt presided and others present
We're Captain Crowninshield of the bu-
reau of navigation, Captain O'Neiu OF
the bureau of ordnance, Chief Hichborn
of the bureau of constructions and
Commander Bradford, of the bureau OF
yards and docks. This meeting had
been preceded by a call from President
Griscom of the International Naviga-
tion company, which owns the four
ships, St. Louis, ST. Paul, Fhris and
New York. The board meeting brought
out general discussion of the work
the various bureaus would be called up
on to perform in making these and 9TH
er vessels ready as auxiliary cruisers.
About ninety-five per cent of this work
would fall to the lot of the bureau of
construction which would have charge
of installing magazines, gun mounts,
light protective armor for the guns and
magazines, and the circles on which the
guns swing. This work, it is said,
could be accomplished readily within
two weeks time as all materials, ex-
cept the guns are in hand.
The bureau of ordnance could not
supply all the guns required within that
short time although some seventy or
more are now available. The supply
would be adequate, however, for the
most effective auxiliary cruisers, and
the complete armament of the merch-
ant ships could proceed as rapidly as
possible thereafter. On the question
of manning the auxiliary fleet, the navy
department feels that the most effect
i've step would be to enlist into the
United States naval service the present
merchant crews of the several ships
These crews are thoroughly familiar
with the vessels and could handle them
with far greater effect than green
crews of blue Jackets. The ships would
be differed from the line of the regular
navy. In the case of enIisting a merch-
ant crew the pay and allowance would
be about equivalent to the rates paid
ordinary sailors, and the time of enlist
ment would doubtless be limited to
short periods.
The proposed batteries for the auxiI-
larry cruisers consist. in the case of the
steamships St. Louis and st. Paul of
eight six inch guns, four 6-pounders
and four machine guns; the Paris and
New York, twelve 6-inch, six 6-pound-
ers and six machine guns 1t is de-
signed to give vessels of the Caracas
and Seneca type a main battery of
eight 4-inch guns and from six to eight
rapid fire machine guns Those of
the Vigilaneia class are designed to
have main battery of six 5-inch and
four 4-inch guns; four 1-pounders and
three machine guns. The batteries or
the auxiliary cruisers on the Pacific
coast if those should be called into use
are substantially similar. 6-inch guns
being the largest ones designed for use
in that service.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
Raises a Standard of Patriotism for
American Catholics.

Chica go. March 11-ftNo true Ameri-
can Catholic will talk of espOucing the
cause of Spain against that of this
country because the former is a Cath
Ole nation said Archbishop ireland,
in an interview here today. To do
that is to set ones self down as trail
torously inclined to the teachings of his
religion as well as to the country which
it is his bounden duty to defend against
all enemies, both internal as well as
external
The words of the archbishop were in
reply to a question as to what he
thought of the advice alleged to have
been given by a Catholic priest in New
York to his pensioners. Bishop Ire
land, who was registered at the Great
Northern was enroute to his home in
St. Paul from Washington, where he
had been several days.
1T is an infamous suggestion" he
continued, "and it would seem as if it
could only emanate from a bitter enemy
of the faith, for it is directly opposed
in every way to the spirit of the teach
ings of Catholicism -
His attention was also called to a
suggestion which has been the subject
of some discussion to the effect that
the pope's sympathies in the pending
controversy with Spain were strongly
enlisted on the side of that nation, be-
cause of it's religious affiliations.
In 50 far as implying that the pope
will use his offices to aid Spain as
against this country said he, the
suggestion is as infamous as the one
first mentioned. Whatever action he
may take in this matter will be taken
with the single idea of averting, if pos
sible, war between two Christian ma
tions. He looks upon the possibility
of a war between this country and
Spain with horror and as the vicere-
gent of God, considers it his bOunden
duty to help bring about an adjustment
of the pending difficulties between the
two nations. That is the only way in
which his influence, is or viii be ex-
erted.'
this country, the archbishop said:
president Mckinley is proving him
self pre-eminently the man for the hour
and the occasion. His course through
out the present painful and trying cri-
sis has been marked by a lOftinesS of
purpose a serenity and dignity of
conduct which has commanded the re-
spect and admiration of his most pro
nounced political enemies. This was
abundantly shown by the remarkable
and impressive action of congress in
unhesitatingly placing the sweeping
powers it did in his hands. I think
every one has come to repOse the ut
most confidence in his wisdom and abil-
ity to meet whatever exigencies may
arise in connection with the unfortu-

SLY WORK.
COnvicts in California State
Prison Make
Large Quantities of Bogus Nick
els of Babbitt Metal.
GET THEM SENT OUT
And Into Circulation Through
Friends on the Outside.
COunterfeiters When Caught
Jump Through a Window.

Folsom, Cal, March IA counter
feiting plant has been discovered with
in the wall of the state prison. The
work was done in the engine room by
Convicts L. H. Coyne and James Brown
and so far as known only nickels were
coined, presumably because no silver
could be obtained.
The men were detected in the act of
manufacturing bogus coins by guards
who had been told of what was going
on.
When the officers rushed in, Coyne
and Brown leaped through a window
and threw their dies and crucibleS into
a canal leading to the American river.
A large number of well executed five
cent pieces were found. They were
made from Babbitt metal taken from
the engines which run through the
prison grounds for the purpose of haul
ing rock from the quarries. 1t is
thought that the dies or molds were not
made by the men, but by some of the
expert counterfeiters in the prison. The
impression prevails among the officers
that it was the intention of the cOnVicts
to coin great quantity of nickels and
then ship them out on the freight cars,
where their friends on the outside could
give them in exchange for opium. Sew
eral of the bogus coins have been found
in circulation in the town of Folsom.

eral yesterday and performed the last
rites of the Catholic church. AS the
general showed no signs of regaining
consciousness it was thought best to
administer extreme JUNCTION.
The generals home is built in Span
ish style, prettily shaded by trees. He
has been living there quietly for abou'
seven years.
General Rosecrans was born at
Kingston, o., September 6, 1919. He
was graduated from West Point and
served subsequently for a year as as
sistant engineer in the construction Of
fortifications at Hampton Roads, Va;
from 1874 to 1847 he was assistant pro-
fessor of engineering and natural phil
osOphy at West Point. He resigned his

He afterWard accepted the superinten-
dency of coal company and was also
engaged in the manufacture of kero-
sene oil in that city
At the commencement of the civil war
he became voluntary aid-de-camp to
General Mcclellan, who commanded the
department of the Ohio. Shortly after
ward he was given the commission Of
brigadfer general in the regular army
General Rosecrans took a prominent
part IN the operations in western Nir-
ginia and was put in command of that
department when Mcclellan was placed
at the head of the army.
In March, 1862, he was made a major
general of volunteers and was given the
command of the army of the MISSISSIPPI
pi. He fought the battles of Iuka and
Corinth, in both of which he was vic
torious. In October, 1862, he was made
commander Of the Army OF the Cum
berland and fought against General
Bragg, the battle of Murfreesboro. on
Stone river, December 26, 1862, to Janu-
ary 2, 1868.
Crossing the Cumberland mountains
and the Tennessee river he was defeat
ed by Bragg at the battle of ChickamaU-
ga, September 19 and 20 He was short
ly afterward relieved of his command
and succeeded by General Thomas.
In January, 1864, Rosecrans was plac-
ed in command of the department Of
the Missouri. He was mustered out OF
the volunteer service in 1866 and re-

Rumor has it that the wedding will
take place upon Miss Beveridge's re-
turn to this country next month.
Mr.. Blaine, who is employed as a re-
porter on one of the morning papers of
this city, excused himself from discuss
ing the report.
Mr.. Blaine was married some years
ago to Miss Marie Nevins. who was
granted a divorce by Judge Thomas of
Deadwood, S. D, in 1889, and awarded
the custody of their son. She after
wards married DR.. w. T. Bull of this
city.
Miss Kuhne Beveridge is a daughter
Of Philo ]. Beveridge and a grand
daughter of former Gov. Beveridge of
Illinois. She first became known to the
public as a sculptor when, in 1892, she
modelled the bust of former President
Cleveland and Joseph Jefferson, the
actor.
Her marriage October 25. 1894 at mid
night in Indianapolis, to Chas. Coghlan
caused much talk. A year later Miss
Beveridge secured a, divorce from the
actor and resumed her maiden name.

CITY MUST PAY UP.
Arkansas City Cannot Compromise
Her Waterworks Debt.

Wichita, March 11.-Several months
ago a judgment was rendered against
Arkansas City for $4,000, in round
numbers, for hydrant rental on so hy-
drants for six years, and that the court
ordered levy to meet payment.
In compliance with that order the
city council made a levy of q mills, and
a number of taxpayers sought to resist
the payment of more than 10 mills, as
was claimed to be the limit provided for
in the statutes.
Through their attorney, J. Mack
Love, an effort was made yesterday be
fore Judge Williams to secure a modi-
f1cation of the order.
After hearing Mr.. Loves argument,
Judge Williams said: The 10 mill pro-
vision referred to in your argument
applies to the annual current expenses,
and not to judgment for services rem
dered in former years. 1t is within the
province of the court to order payment
of judgments requiring an annual levy
of 40 mills. The city has had the use of
these hydrants for eight years and has
paid nothing, and the city authorities,
during these years, should have made
provision for the payment of their ac-
cumulating Indebtedness. The judgment
must be paid.

Contracts for the delivery of carriages
for these rapid fire guns have also
been authorized, and will be shipped to
the fortifications as soon as completed.

KICKED OFF THE v1zcAYA.
Captain EuIate Resents Abuse of
Americans by His Countrymen.

New York, March IA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
Captain Eulate of the Spanish warship
N1Zcaya, who was seen in New York re-
Gently, has just figured in an incident
here which proves that some at least of
Spain's best officers will not cater to the
rabble's desire about Americans in Ha-
vana- The Vizcaya lay near-the Fern
before the latter made room for the
Montgomery, and when the vessels swung
close together words spoken on the quar-
terdeck of one could be heard on the
other.
Boats loaded with enthusiastic Span
iards have rowed about the Spanish cruis-
ers since their arrival, and many visit
ors have been allowed to go aboard and
have inspected the 11-inch guns which
landsmen believe are proof of Havana's
impregna bility.
The Vizcaya's captain on Monday stood
on the quarterback and heard a boat load
from the shore use abusive language as
they rowed about the Fern. Men on the
vessel, although they knew the compI-
ments were intended for them, ignored
the billingsgate, and the shore party
pulled TO the Vizcaya and boarded her.
When they We're all on deck, near the lad
der. the captain of the Spanish cruiser,
with word to one or two of the marines.
