CUBAN MORTGAGES EXTENDED.

Washington, April 15.-Mortgage OBJ
legations i'll Cuba will be further eN-
tended for another year. The extension,
however, will be limited to debts secuf-
ed by mortgage or ground rents. The
representatives of the Cuban Cabinet
Council who have been here for some
days have had several conferences with
the officials on the subject of general
credit extensions, during which they
have argued the adoption Of a plan
which had received the sanction of the
Council, extending mortgage obligations
Tor periods ranging up to six years.
lhey also desired that debtors be re-
heved entirely from the payment of IN
terest pending final liquidation.
Ihis proposition received the disap-
Toval of the officials who promptly
stated that they could not apply Il prin-
ciple which was distinctly contrary to
common justice, and it was suggested
to the Cubans that their course would
speedily and permanently njure the
credit of the island. In assuming con.
troll of the islands the United States,
they We're told, had declared its purpose
not To impair existing obligations, and

deht. interest or otherwise, would be
IN dlrect contrayention of that declara-
tlon. As to limiting the extension to
one year, ii was said that the United
states would not undertake the exercise
or any control over the affairs of the
island beyond the period of its occu-
pancy, but if at the end of the year a
Iufther extension for a limiled time
seemed necessary. and the United STATES

THE BISHOP AND THE SECOND
CONGREGATION.

The correspondence between the
Bishop of Honolulu and the Second
Congregation, relating to a change Of
ecclesiastical base, does not display IA
festival OF good Will and mutual ad-
miration. While the Bishop must con-
cede that the wave Of expansion in
the Pacific has swept him Off these ISL
ands where he has conscientiously and
faithfully tried to maintain the Angli-
can church on a sand foundation of his
own peculiar devices, he stubbornly
refuses to acknowledge the hand Of
Providence in it. The Second Congre-
cation also expresses the hope that he
will close his career with honor-in
some other place. Ihdoes not even in
innate that under the new order Of
things 1t would like to give him the
honor of nomination as the
politicians tender such honor to a man
who Is troublesome. with the under
standing that he will promptly decline
it.
while the Second Congregation with
painful fortitude suggests that the
Bishops sphere Of usefulness Is not
heie, at least. there is, II one reads
between the lines, a vague intimation
that he may spend the remainder Of
his days in forcing Second Congrega-
ton" into existence throughout
Occanica.
The Bishop has some consolation In
reviewing his eventful, but disastrous
career in these Islands. He has sue
ceeded in severely worrying for some
years the Second Congregation. Not
for a moment has he permitted them
to travel a macadamized road to glory,
but by pick and shovel and dynamite
has torn 1t up and made it as rugged
as possible, while he has looked at
their bleeding feet as his own benevo-
lent work in making them true and
honest pilgrims through this vale Of
tears,

supplied to the army during the war

known to be that the charges which
Gen. Miles made before the War Inves-
tigating Committee are not sustained
in reference to the refrigerated beef,
although his contention that the roast
beef was not suitable continuous ra-
ton is admitted. There Is direct crit
icism Of Gen. Miles for failing prompt
ly to bring to the attention Of the War
Department the reports made to him
concerning bad beef. and several In
dividuals" are censured for failing to
observe the proprieties Of their POSI-

and other respects.
other officers who gave their testi-
mony before the court were found also
to have neglected what the court con
ceives to have been their duty In this
respect, and all are blamed for this
failure, but the court does not think
