CABLE CUTTING STORY.

Washington, April 25.-Nothing is
known at the Navy Department Of the
reported cutting of the cable connecting
Cuba with Key West by the Mangrove,
ten miles out at sea. There is a good
deal of doubt as to the accuracy Of the
report and it is believed that the most
that has been done in that direction
has been the tapping of the cable for
strategic purposes.

Charleston, w. Va, April 25.-There
are probabilities of a serious rupture IN
the West Virginia National Guard,
caused by what appears to be mis-
understanding between Governor At
kinson and General Spillman with re-
fer to the recruiting of the two regi-
ments and it is feared that it will re-
suit in the resignation of all the Off
GERS of the militia
Last Saturday night Major John Ba-
ker White, of the Second battalion,
second regiment, received telegram
from Col. j. H. Banks, of the Second
regiment, at Huntington, saying: Il am
directed to recruit three companies for
the Second regiment. Can you raise a
company in Charleston?'
To this Major White replied in the
affirmative. He went ahead and or
ganized the company, which elected c.
C. Rand as Captain and also c4ose the
other officers.
Governor Atkinson issued an order
this afternoon directing Adjutant Gen
eral Appleton to ascertain, and report
10 him Immediately by whose authority
a company of volunteers in the State
militia was recruited in this city, etc.
The Governor afterwards issued the
following order:
mo authority from headquarters has
been delegated TO any person or per-
sons in this or any other portion of the
State to recruit volunteers for the war
with Spain
The Governor then made a statement
to the effect that many applications
had been made to him by men in var
ious portions of the State for permits
sion to form companies and regiments,
but that he had said to all that no such
permission would be given till he re-
ceived an order for troops from the
War Department.
These several orders with the accom-
panying statement, each signed by the
Governor, were printed on a slip and
posted in the window of the Mail Tri-
bune office. They were intended to be
published in that paper, but subse-
quently withdrawn.
The posting of these orders caused
quite feeling among the National
Guard officers, and they threaten to 1a-
sign.
Major White left this evening for
Huntington to report to Col Banks and
get further orders. If it turns out that
the order to recruit came from General
Spillman, the tcuble will have to be
settled between him and the Governor
A telegram was sent this evening tC
Major John Baker White, who is al
Huntington, asking him how he got his
orders to raise company of volunteers
He replied: Had my orders from Col
Banks, He got his orders from bri-
gade headquarters.
The question now remains whether
General Spillman had authority to re-
cruit the National Guard

the approaches which are now SO easy The
Keys with which they forced an entrance
were huge engines wrought of timbers
from forest thirty miles away; long lad
ders and many-storied towers were their
stepping stones. Once in, their celebration
was red carnival, in the midst of which
their leader knelt in feryent prayer at the
shrine of Him who taught only love and
mercy; after which the devout champion
rose and with equal fervor shed more
blood. The royal pilgrim of today may be
a trifie fond of theatrical display, hut on
the whole We prefer his methods to this.
Mixed Motives.
The motives of crusaders are in most
cases mixed. Godfrey and his champions
were faithful to their pledges. and delivered
the city OF our Savior from Moslsm bond
age; but several of them incidentally
carved out principalities for themselves In
the land of their pious sojourn. The pro-
mulgator OF this latest and happily blood
less crusade, who Is certainly no isss am
bftious, has been credited by some with
similar Intentions. Time will show
In the first crusade there We're many
princes, but no kings. The second crusade
was conducted in person by two monarcns,
Louis VII of France and Conrad III Of
Germany. Both were unlucky. Louis-ac-
cording TO Gibbon-was surrounded by the
enemy and driven up tree like a coon,
This strikes one as exceedingly French
though this place was remote from FASH
oda.

tim crowned with flowers and led to the
. slaughter" but he finally made his escape
with the loss of most of his army. Both
these doughty crusaders reached Jerusalem
at last, where they must have offered up
their prayers in a genuinely humble mood.
Famous Crusaders.
The next royal crusader, also a German
emperor, was still more unfortunate. Brave
old Frederick Barbarossa, deserving of
better fate, was drowned in little noun
tain torrent in Cilicia, far from his goal.
These Cilician streams appear to have been
as hostile to monarchy as Brutus himself;
for another, close by, once made an at
tempt, which barely failed, on the life of
Alexander. William will do well to give
these watery assassins a wide berth; they
are as dangerous, apparently, as the Ital-
ian anarchists against whom he has taken
such elaborate precautions.
Only L year later Richard the Lion-heart-
ed and Philip Augustus of France both
came to Palestine, and quarreled as French
and English are wont to do. Neither got
so much glimpse of Jerusalem, though
they did succeed in taking Acre after much
trouble. This was hardly an equivalent for
the holy city, however, for Acre might be
called the Port Said of that day in the
matter of shameless vice. Philip, is GUS
tomary with the French, soon evacuated
the country. AS to Richard, one is some
times tempted to think that he is Williams
chosen model of hngly virtues = but it
would be cruel to press the comparison, and
after all, William is much the better SOW
ereign, though not likely to attain the same
renown as crusader.
Met With Scant Success.
The last German emperor who aspired to
fame as a crusader, previously to the
incumbent, was Frederick II. Fame he
had hardly achieved, though he did succeed
in entering Jerusalem and restoring it to
Christian rule But like William, he had
become involved in quarrel with the pope;
and like William, he came off second best.
AS reward for his eminent services as
soldier of the cross he was eXcommunicat-
ed. coronation in Jerusalem was the
honor which he had proposed for himself,
but the city which he had rescued would
have nothing to do with him. The patri-
arch sullenly refused to take part in the
ceremony, the Church of the Holy Sepul-
chre was Cheerfully draped in black, and
the exasperated monarch was actually
forced to crown himself with his own
hands. This as the net result of expen-
sive campaign was SO disheartenng that 1t
is little wonder that the emperors of Ger
many thereupon suspended operations in
Palestine for more than six centuries.
William has not, on various occasions,
shown himself a very enthusiastic friend to
America, but we wish him joy in the peace
full crusade which he is now conSummatng,
and much better luck than any of his pre-
deceSSorS in Palestine.

The movement which, looks to the ap-
pointment of just PROPORTION of Catholic
priests as chaplains in the army is said
to be growing in popularity, and it is be-
iieved that at the coming session of Con-
gress a bill will be passed which will give
the President the necessary authority to
make such appointments.
Regarding this, leader in the move
ment said: -
There is no disputing the fact that,
while very many of the soldiers are con-
nected with the Catholic Church. there are
but two or three chaplains who are priests
The subject will certainly be brought to
the attention of Congress- and it is to be
hoped that it will simply be necessary to
explain the question properly to have JUS
tice done the Catholic soldiers 1t NAV
seem strange that a dying Catholic soldier
is not willing to accept the ministrations of
Protestant minister, but such is the fact,
and in these days, when much is being
done to increase the efficiency of the army
and to add to the comfort of the soldiers
this right should be accorded to the
Catholic.
The government officials may be assured
lnat nOtnlnS can aOQ more TO the comfort
of the thousands of Catholic soldiers than
to give them Catholic chaplains, to whom
they can go to confession with the conf
dence that results from Catholic teaching
Congressman need not believe that the SOL
dier is benefited when he approaches the
tribunal of penance, but he will be asked
to believe that the Catholic soldier re-
CARDS that tribunal as necessary to his
future happiness. When this fact is i'm
pressed upon the officials controlling the
matter there surely can be no long delay
before the Catholic soldier will have his
spiritual interests as well cared for as
has the Protestant"
