SpeciaI Cable Despatch to THE Sun.
R Feb. 24.-In the Chamber OF Dep
uties to-day Senior Puigcerver. Minister OF
Finance. replied to the resolutions introduced
by Senior Silvela. He said he was surprised to
see that the resolutions employed the same
arguments as those used by the Americans.
He considered that SPANS responsibility for
the Cuban debt was only subsidiary and that
the guarantee for the debt consisted OF terri
tories in which Spain had been compelled to
relinquish her sovereignty. She was therefore
not bound to pay the debt. Senior Silvela will
rectify his resolutions. acknowledging that the
Cuban debt is OF a special character.
Senior Moret. formerly Minister of the
Colonies, interviewed in the discussion. saying
that Senior Silvela's arguments only justified
the incorrect conduct OF the Americans. He
affirmed that autonomy was succeeding in
Cuba. but the accident to the Maine precipi-
tated war.

AN UNWELCOME FIFTEENTH.
One Too Many Children, and an
Appropriate Name Was Given
Him.

A couple of tourists who were Jour-
trict of the south had ridden many
miles, when they came to small log
cabin, out of which children of all sizes
and ages came swarming like bees from
a hive.
The tourists were tired and ravenous-
ly hungry. Hailing an old negro at the
cabin gate they told him that they had
come to take dinner with him.
"Yo' is welcum, gemmen!" he said.
Il amt got much ter eat, but I'll do the
ve'y bes' l kin fo' yo', gemmen."
Then, raising his voice to shrill yell,
he said:
Hi yo, Judas Iscariot. yo' run catch
chicken fas' ez yo' laigs kin carry yo."
What do you call that boy?" asked
one of the tourists.
Judas Iscariot, sah."
What did you ever give him such a
name as that for?"

What is the meaning of Judas Is
cariot?"
The old man was very reticent about
giving further information, and it re-
quired good deal of persuasion before
he finally said:
We'll, I'll tell yo', sab. Hits like dis:

THE PRICE OF PEACE.
Direct Money Loss Through Nine.
teenth Century Wars Some
thing Enormous.

In several respects the peace confer
ence at The Hague was the most re-
1narkable assemblage OF the nations
which history records. OF the 1,6O0,-
100000 people who constitute the pop
ulation of the entire world, about
1,400, 100000 were represented in that
gathering. The Central and South
American nations and a few small
states in Africa and Asia are the only
countries which were absent.
The object of the assemblaCe-the
diminution in the number, extent and
destructiveness of wars - is as be-
neticent purpose as ever received the
attention of nations. The Spanish
American war will cost about $780,
O0O,OOO. France paid Germany $1,000
100000 as an indemnity at the end of
the conflict of 1S70-71. In addition to
this outlay, says Leslie's Weekly, the
war cost France, it was estimated,
$4,000, 100000. The civil war cost the
United States S1O,00O,0O0,OOO England,
France, Turkey, Sardinia and Russia
spent S4,0O0,000,000 in the war of the
Crlmea. Inc Napoleonlc wars, from
1900 to 1915, cost the nations which par
ticipated in them, it has been figured,
$4,000, 100000. The nineteenth CEN
fury wars have resulted in direct
money loss of at least $4,000, OOO, O0O
for not all of even the important con-
flicts of the last 100 years have been
mentioned in this list.
The eighteenth century's wars, which
were far more numerous than those Of
the present century, must have foot
ed up, according to the most reliable
estimates, S125,O0O,O 100000 or $780,
000,000,000. This calculation leaves
out altogether the sacrifice of life, and
the money value, based on the average
productive power of each person, OF
the lives lost. A calculation which
would cover the money expenditure in
volved in the wars which have taken
place since the beginning of the Chris
tian era would go up into the dizzy
heights of arithmetic.--St. Louis Re-

PHILIPPINE PRIESTS.
In Spite of Contrary Reports, the
Ratio In the Islands II
Very Small.

The ''swarms of lazy friars" that
form a picturesque if rather unkindly
feature of SO many pen pictures of the
Philippines, are even more mythical
than the eXorbitant fees collected by
them. The official records of both the
religious orders and the government,
published long before Dewey entered
Manila bay, show that in no Catholic
country is the number of priests SO
small, compared with the population, as
in the Philippines. The priests are
fewer than in almost any diocese in the
United States, compared with its Cath
Ole population. In 1896 the whole
clergy of the islands only numbered
1,9SS priests between all the orders
and seculars combined. The secular
clergy amounted to 773, of whom about
one-half is of the native races. These
had charge of a population of over
100000. The secular priests of the
Philippines are almost exactly in the
same proportion to the population as
are the priests in Chicago, which GER
tainly is not the happy hunting ground
SN
The argument is far stronger in the
case of the "friars" The whole num-
Der in the Philippines, Carolines and
Ladrones was only 1875, including
Jesuit and Dominican professors in the
colleges, those in charge of the Manila
observatory, and the missionaries
among the Mohammedans of Mindanao
and the heathens of the Carolines. The
latter occupied los of the 167 Jesuits,
the other 62 being in Manila in the usual
scholastic work of their order. Two
hundred and thirty-three Dominicans
supplied the religious needs of three
quarters of a million Catholics. That
the task was not nominal one is
shown by the registration during the
year of 1900 baptisms, $4,000 mar
riages, and $4,000 interments with the
funeral rites of the church. The
Jesuits and Benedictines, besides their
literary work, attended to the parish
needs of nearly 100000 Christians.
The Franciscans, properly so-called,
had 240 priests in the Philippines, and
this 240 attended to population of over
100000. The Recollets had 321
priests for 1 ,25O, 900 aCthoEcs. The task
of the Augustinians was the greatest of
all. Three hundred and twenty-seven
priests, including the superiors and the
general administrative force in Manila,
attended to the religious wants of g.

A SONG FOR THE NOBLE

Love for the noble woman
Who strokes the soldiers head,
Who leans as a sweet, white angel
Above the soldiers bed,
Who kneels and who prays beside him,
Who closes the soldiers eyes,
Who spreads the loved flag DER him
When the weary soldier dies.
Cheers for the noble woman
Who opens her palace door
To the lame and the sick and the hungry,
Who gives of her worldly store
That others who toll, who suffer
By flood or by fire may know
That God on His throne still watches
And judges the high and the low.
Praise for the noble woman
Who visits the haunts of sin,
To teach and to win where angels
Alone might hope to win;
Who puts away worldly pleasures,
And labors that others may live
To her all terrestrial glory!
All the honor men have to give!
Ard cheers for the noble woman
Who hides no jewels away,
Who complacently pays her taxes
AS the law would compel her to pay!
She smoothes the rough road of the toiler,
She eases the burdens that bear
On the sick and the lame and the hungry,
And the Lord up above is aware!
May cherish her name with the great,
Who stand for their homes and country,
Whose duty is first to the state,
He is noble who falls while preserving
The rights that are precious to you
IT'S noble 10 DO just your duty
As an honest citizen, too,
