The Pope Begs Emperor Francis
Joseph to Use His Influence.

LONDON, April 13.-A special dis
patch from Rome announces that the
Pope has again telegraphed to Emper-
or Francis Joseph of Austria begging
him to use his influence with the other
sovereigns in behalf of peace between
the United States and Spain.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Rome cor
respondent of the Daily News says:
The Pope is exceedingly upset by the
latest developments of the Hispano-
American question. which seems turn
ing in a way he had expected and tried
to avoid. This morning, having said
mass in the Sistine Chapel, he turned
to those around him and exclaimed:
Il have prayed God with the whole
force of my being and with the deepest
fervor to avoid this war, and not to
allow the pontifical efforts to end in
smoke of battle Otherwise I have i'm
plored the Almighty to take me to Him

BERNE (Switzerland), April 13.-

POWERS CAN DO NO MORE.
LONDON, April 13.-The Spanish
Premier, Senior Sagasta, in an inter-
view this morning said, according to
special dispatch from Madrid, that he
thought the Powers could not do more
than they have already done in the way
of intervention.
The afternoon papers of this city
unanimously express the opinion that
both the United States and Spain are
heading straight for war There is also
a disposition to blame President Me
Kinley for his alleged indecision.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 13-'The
emi-official Journal de st. Peters,
burg contends that the concluding
passage of President McKinley's mes
sage to Congress precludes the posi-
bility of military action upon the part
of the President of the United States
taking the ground that the passage re-
ferred to recognizes Spain's armistice
and that the armistice "suspends hos
tiIities, which is the object the United
States had in view"

the resolutions submitted yesterday to
Congress says:
They embody demands which cam
not be addressed to a sovereign power
without rendering negotiations and
compromise impossible. Even if they
do not amount in form to a declara-
ton Of war, the resolutions are accom-
panied by violent and offensive reports
offering gratuitous provocations to the
Spanish Government and people in the
eyes of the civilized world The Amer
lean case cannot but be seriously preju-
diced by the manner in which it is now
presented. We doubt, after yesterdays
scenes whether Congress is a fit body
to deal with great national issue or
to act as the avenger of wrong The
situation is that Congress has declared
for war in everything but name, al
though without having defined, except
in the vaguest manner. the objects for
which it wished to fight
Other editorials assert that America
is heading deliberately for war, and
that there is only the faintest chance

y.
meaning of President lTcKinley's ac-
ton cannot be mistaken. If he were
opposed to war he would not have
written such message He has been
most unfairly attacked for an alleged
abdication of his power. The fact is,
he has done the utmost he could to
avoid war, but he did not make the
American Constitution which entrusts
a war declaration to Congress-

to Intervene in
Cuban Affairs.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-This was
a day of stirring activity at the Navy
and War Departments. Anticipating de-
cisive action by Congress, the machin-
cry of the military and naval branches
of the Government was early put in
motion, and events of grave signifi-
canoe followed in quick succession.
The first event to become known was
the acquisition by the Navy Depart
ment of the American Line steamships
ST. Louis and ST. Paul, and coupled
with the announcement came the in
formation that in all probability Cap
tain Sigsbee would be placed in COM
mand of one and Captain Goodrich OF
the other.
Despite the utmost precaution, it de-
veloped before noon that the fying
squadron had been ordered to move
from Hampton Roads for a practice
trip. The practice trip will probably
take the squadron outside the capes,
where they can be easily reached by a
dispatch boat if it becomes evident
that they are needed.
Tfle purchase another irst~ciass
auxiliary. a frst-class cruiser, prob
ably the Yorktown of the Old Domin-
ion Line. and the purchase of the Bra
lillian cruiser Nictheroy is contem-
plated. The last-named vessel is about
to be inspected, and the result will de
termine the question of her acquire
ment by the United States.
The purchase of the ST. Paul and the
St Louis is probably the most expen
sive transaction consummated by the
Navy Department since the beginning
of the war excitement. These vessels
cost over $2.O00.000 each, and are re
garded as among the best vessels OF
that class in the world, being exceeded
in speed only by the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse of the German and the Lu
cania and the Campania of the Eng
lish Line. The amount paid for then
is an official secret, but it is known Il
be somewhere in the neighborhood O
$5.C00G00.
Signs of activity for what now seems
to be a probable conflict were contin
ued at the War Department, but Gen
eraI Miles says that nothing is hkel.
to be done in the way of moving any
large body of troops southward unit
there is more evidence that their ser
vices will be needed.
The Navy Department received wore
to-day that the Spanish armored shil
Pelayo had arrived at Cadiz- The shil
is the best ironclad possessed by tn
Spaniards, and her presence at Cam
is a formidable addition to the larg
fleet of battleships and cruisers rem
dezvoused there.

equipment, which the enemy did not de-
stroy, fell into our hands. The movement
forward under the immediate command
Of Gen. Joe Wheeler, began on Friday
and was undertaken to dislodge the Span
iards, who had intrenched themselves
upon hill near Sevilla to block the road
to Santiago.
The story of the "skirmsh,' as Gen.
Shafter calls it, between the rough riders
and the regular cavalry and the Spaniards
is told concisely above. 1t is called the
battle of La Quasna. According to the
later reports it was the fault Of the Amer
leans that they lost as heavily as they
did, and the fault of the Spaniards that
the loss was not much greater than it
was. The volunteers appear to have dash
ed recklessly into a well-planned ambus-
cade, where they might have been wiped
out had the Spaniards made full use of
their superiority in numbers and position.
They gave way, however, before the head
long rush of the volunteers and abandon
ed ground which American troops would
have held. This painful experience will
not affect the bravery of the rough riders,
but it will make them more cautious. They
have learned lesson which many Ameri-
can soldiers have had to learn before
them. Gen. Shafter briefly says the firing
lasted about an hour, the enemy was driv
en- from his position and retreated toward
Santiago, and our troops occupied the 10
cality, where they were to wait until sup
plies and artillery could be landed.

Naval Flags.

In the navy there are seven flags deS-
ignating rank aside from the special
one pertaining to the Secretary of the
Navy. Next to his is the Assistant Sec
retary's, an exact counterpart of the
former except that the colors are re-
versed.
All the remaining flags have blue
field and white stars, the order being:
For admirals, four stars; for vice adj
mirals, three stars; for rear admirals,
two stars; for commodores, one star
in center of blue pennant. The cap
tain's pennant Is strip Of bunting IF
teen feet long, with thirteen stars in
a blue field and red and white stripe.
Last of all is small triangular pen
nant with n dead blue field denoting
the senior officers presence in the alb
sence Of the captain Of ship.
There are seven sizes of flags used in
the navy, running down from thirty
six feet to three feet In length. The
first five sizes are designated officially
as ship flags, and the remaining two
are "boat'' flags. Sizes Nos. 1 and 2
are now almost obsolete. They were
intended for the old wooden frigates,
whose sterns stood high above the wa
ter, and would be entirely unsuitable
for the low lying freeboard Of our
cruisers and battleshlps.

the commanding officer remains at the
masthead day and night. In going to
and from shore ships small boats carry

when the officer is below the grade Of
