WASHINGTON, May A.-The principal
subject Of conversation at Camp Ager yes

~ a member of the Ninth Ohio. The men
considered by him as suspicious were Ma
riano Solo, mayor Of Puerto Principe, a
Cuban insurgent; W. H. Stroecks and H.
e. McDevitt, American citizens. Their ap-
pearanc, and the fact that they spoke Span

Leads the Pope to Express His Great
Sorrow *

ROME, May 2-The Osservatore Ro-
mano publishes letter from the pope to
Cardinal Andrea Ferrari, archbishop of
Milan, expressing profound emotion be-
cause of the grave disorders in Italy.
The pope says:
"These disorders are the fruits of evil
seed, scattered with impunity in Italy
which leads to the corruption Of minds,
the perversion of morals and detriment of
religion
The pope could have wished, he. contin-
ues, that Cardinal Ferrari had been at Mi
Ian at the time Of the rioting in order to
pacify the people, and he declares that he
has been greatly moved by the insults con-
tanned in the manifesto against a member
Of the sacred college.
TT was not against the person Of the
cardinal, who has always exemplified great
pastoral charity. that the attacks were
directed, but against the principles he rep
resents. 1t is impossible to understand
whittier such campaign can lead where
the social authority Is shaken"
The pope declares, however. that he has
derived great consolation from the evil
dences of devotion Of which the archbishop
has been the object, and, concluding the
letter, expresses his confidence that the
Catholic clergy at Milan will remain under
the influence Of their affection for their
pastor.

CHICAGO. May M.-The United irish
Societies of Chicago at a big mass meeting
in Central Music Hall. presided over by

ance with American traditions ana the
sentiments Of a majority Of the American
people who are not Of British birth or an
cestry. It Is declared that such an alliance
would result in a European combination
against the United States and would make
us partners in the crimes Of the British
nation against weaker states and Defense
less people. The resolutions "Call upon
the American government, executive ana
legislative. to repudiate policy so suicidal
that it cannot fail to fall with disgust on
millions of loyal American citisens.''
The principal speaker, John g. Finerty,
said:
I'VE will fight this alliance on the plat
form and at the polls. We are willing and
eager to fight for America, but we will
never fire shot or lose a single drop Of
