THE Queen of Holland has lively sympathy for
the Jews, who number largely among her subjects;
and it is said that this feeling springs from an Incl
dent which occurred in her childhood, and was sub
sequently related to her. She to be driven
through the Jewish quarter, and crowds had assem-
bled to see her pass, when the report went around
that the child was indsposed and had fallen asleep.
Therefore, when the carriage appeared all the loyal
cheers which the throats of the waiting null
titudes were repressed-every head uncovered.
and the sleeping child drove by in silence

OFFERED TO IRELAND.
Archbishop Had Accepted APP

Chicago, H., April S.-A special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
Friends Of Archbishop Ireland in Wash
ington say he has accepted the appoint
ment as one of the commissioners to the
disarmament conference called to meet
at The Hague before he left for Rome
They also assert that his appointment
was objected to by Italy and that Great
Britain Endorsed the objections. After
several cablegrams were exchanged be-
tween Washington and Rome the arch
bishop withdrew his name. His action
in withdrawing was sanctioned by the
Pope and instead of injuring his chances
of becoming a cardinal will, his friends
assert, improve them.
Rome, April S.-Further particulars re-
garding the farewell audience accorded
Archbishop Ireland by the Pope on
Wednesday last show that it lasted half
an hour and was of a most cordial nature
throughout. The pontiff stroye to prove
his great esteem OF the archbishop and
the friendly feeling he had for him. He
congratulated the archbishop upon having
been chosen by the French episcopate to
preach the panegyric of Joan of Arc on
May Z, and said smiling sadly: L hope
TO see you again, but if God takes me
before your return, remember I have
always felt fatherly love and interest in
yourself and all American Catholics, to

Of the wall paper trust The doctor says
that he has made chemical analysis Of

arsenical poisons, in some of them the

He was led to make the investigation
by having brought to his attention

traced to paper covered rooms. 1t is to
be presumed that, in the future, houses,

the Cornell scientist would confer
favor upon mankind by pursuing his
investigation further. It would be in

what per cent of the inmates Of insane
asylums owe their mental condition to
their having been compelled to live in
rooms whose walls were covered with
realistic portraitures Of an opium smok-

are alleged to make living rooms coy

WORK OF A FIREBUG.
Thirteen Lives Sacrificed to Graf =
fly Desire for
Revenge.

New York, April S.-Despite the reti-
cence on the part of the police, facts be-
came public today which made it APP
parent that the FIRE which destroyed thir-
teen persons was of incendiary origin.
1t transpired that few hours before the
flames were seen policeman was sent
for from the Andrews house and was
mysteriously dismissed by servant, WHO
said he was not wanted. Letters threat
ening the lives OF the Andrews family
and the children of Mrs. st. John We're
found
1t is believed that the motive for in
cendlarIsm was revenge, and that the af-
fair arose out Of a quarrel among the
servants
Foley, 1e butler in the Andrews fam
lily, is under surveillance and the police
are hard at work investigating the clues,
which chiefly rest upon anonymous let
tiers. Mary Flanagan, the dead maid
servant, seems to have been a central
figure in this alleged plot, and the chief
object of the supposed perpetrators hate.
The police today gave out three sour
rllous, threatening, anonymous letters,
which had been sent TO members of the
Andrews household. One was addressed
to the servant, Mary Flanagan. The let
letters made charges against Mary Flana
gan and the butler
In letter addressed to Mrs. st. John
the writer said: Il hope you and Mrs.
Andrews don't think for one moment
that I am reconciled or pacifed with

WANT TO COME HOME,
Volunteers at Manila Say They Didn't
Enlist to Fight Nig.ers.

Manila, April 7.-(Via Hong Kong,
April 10.)-Though hundreds Of Filipinos
are daily returning to their homes and
are DESTROYS of resuming peaceful pur-
suits, and though the proclamation issued
by the United States Philippine commits
sion has given an impetus to this move
ment, the war is far from ended One
of the foremost American generals said
recently: I'VE will see 100000 soldiers
in the Philippines before the Americans
control the islands" and a majority of
the army are of his opinion.
1t is generally considered that great re-
Inducements are necessary, there not be-
ing sufficient number of American
troops in the archipelago to make CON
quest of the island of Luzon and hold the
ports occupied and it is thought that it
would be cheaper III the long run and
have better effect upon the natives to
establish American supremacy effectually
and quickly than to temporize with a
score of rebellions.
AL the stories told by prisoners and
friendly natives agree that majority of
the insurgents would be glad to quit; but
that there are enough professional revo-
lutionists left to infest the country with
bands of hundreds Of men and to demon
alize business, for years to come. Some
high Americans believe that the govern
ment would wisely expend money in buy
ing off Aguinaldo and his clique of infu-
entail FilipinoS.
Foreigners in Manila think the Ameri-
cans are TOO optimistic as to the effects
of the proclamation. They say that the
weakness of the proclamation lies in the
fact that the natives have so long dealt
with the Spaniards that they are unable
to realize what its words mean and the
purport of its promises is anything but 4
snare.
4 majority of the United States yolun.
teers are eager to return home. I'VE
did not enlist TO fight niggers'' is a re-
mark that is constantly heard. Willis
a drawer work than they are doing is
impossible to find, they consider that
there is small glory in guerrilla warfare,
the dangers and hardships of which can
not be appreciated at home. The volun-
teers construe their enlistment ''to the
close of the war" to apply to the war
with Spain, and wish to be relieved by
regulars.
The Spanish system of defending Ma
Mia by a lane of blockhouses may be
adopted by the American authorities here
during the wet season, as 1t requires few
er men than the trench defenses and les.
sens the chances of sickness among the
defenders. @
Lieut. Steuneninberg Of the Idaho regi.
ment, brother of the governor of Idaho,

ice.

for this reason the item from the Pleas

His greatest fault was the eXtravagant
use of profanity 1t was almost impossi-
bic for him to engage in any sort of CON
versation with man, woman or child
without using it. He no doubt often
swore unconSciously."

How Roman Malaria is Spread.

Prof. Grassi's discovery that the Ro-
man malaria is spread by a particular
species of gnats has been verified in a
curious manner at the Santo Spirito hos
pital at Rome. All attempts to COM
municate the disease to animals had
failed when a patient in the hospital vol
unteered to have the experiment tried
on himself. He was exposed to the
gnats, developed the fever, his blood
showing malaria bacilii, and was then
treated with quinine. The doctors think
that they are now in a way to discover
a serum that will render people immune

Gen. King Goes with Lawton.

An expedition consisting Of about 1900
men, commanded by Maj.-Gen. Henry
w. Lawton. left San Pedro Macati on
the river Pasig on Saturday night with
the purpose of crossing Laguna de Bay
and capturing the town of Santa Cruz,
on the eastern shore Of the lake. The
American troops were then, as planned,
to sweep the country to the south. The
force consisted of 200 picked sharpshoot-
ers from the various regiments, HaW-
thorne's mounted battery, Gales squad
ron and three troops OF the Fourth cav
airy, unmounted: Bronks and Tappen's
battalions Of the Fourteenth infantry,
Lincke's battalion of the First Idaho in
fantry and Frame battalion of the First
North Dakota infantry under Gen. King.
The fOtllla OF twenty canoes, lowed by
tugs and conveyed by the gunboats La
guna de Bay, Cesto and Nappidan, and
preceded by the launch containing Gen.
Lawton and Gen. King, moved toward
the lake just as evening was setting "a.
1t was a truly picturesque scene.
The men carried rations for ten days,
with the nghtest marching equipment
Gen. Lawtons plan was TO reach Santa
Cruz on Sunday morning at daybreak, to
capture or destroy any rebel gunboats or
shipping, to take the town and then to
scour the country to the south of the lake,
a district not yet explored by the Ameri-
cans.
Santa Cruz is the capital of the prov
ince of Laguna and has a population, ac-
cording to the best available information
here, of considerably more than $4,000
persons. 1t is but a short journey over
the bay lagoon, a fresh water sea which
comes almost up TO Manila itself, which
is forty-eight miles away from Santa
Cruz. Santa Cruz is apparently an open
ing wedge for the country beyond. From
it lead highways III ali directions to Ma
Mia by going around the shores of Bay
lagoon and to the important points of
ince Of Tayabas, whose capital city is
located ninety-one miles from Manila.
