JESUITS INSULT IRELAND.
Dislike the Favor Shown Him and
Americanism by the Pope.

Paris, June 26.-The truth at last Is
out about the insult offered Archbishop
Ireland by the French Jesuits- The
committee of the Associations of Young
Catholics who organized the Ollivaint
conference, on June 20, the annual clos
ing day, invited the archbishop of st.
Paul to speak. The invitation was sent
June T. Two days later, Autorite,
Casa nac's paper, printed a violent at
tack on the American prelate, in which
the Jesuits of the college where the con-
ference was to be held were given the
choice of withdrawing the invitation ex-
tended Ireland, or encOuntering bitter
antagonism among the anti-Ireland
clques, who are bitter against the pope
and the American prelate.
The JeSuitS inSulted Ireland by with
drawing the invitation in the form of
announcing that there would be no con-
ference. Upon the energetic protest of
Bazire, a member of the Young Catho-
lies Association, the Jesuits switched
around and re-invited Ireland to speak.
BY this time the American prelate was
and insisted on having a clear explana-
ton. He now knows what to expect
from the French Jesuits who dared to
insult the American archbishop because
of his Americanism. This same relig
iouS clique is furious over the pOpe'S re-

Bullets, Disease and Heat Play

"Victims of a Dollar Hearted
Administration"

Marinette, Wis, June 26.-High D.
McCoshan, for years a resident of this
city and now serving as sergeant an
company H, First South Dakota volun-
teer infantry, in the Philippines, sends
startling accounts of the condition Of
the volunteers. The state soldiers, he
says, are falling by scores from bullets,
disease and heat, and men are ordered
to the front from their beds in the hos
pitfalls. Mr.. McCoshan's letter has
caused a sensation, as he bears a repu-
tation for truthfulness and reliability
The letter, which is dated at Manila
May II, and is addressed to Joseph
Thurman, a local merchant, is as fol-
lows:
I'VE left the trenches March Is to
move on MaloIos. 1t was a costly move
ment for US. We lost men every day,
fighting practically all the way to San
Fernando.
IF the people of the United States
could but know a small part of the
truth of the situation here a national
scandal would result. The hospitals
are full of men who will never live to
reach home. From present indications
the volunteers will be relieved in six
months. 1t will then be unnecessary !;
few will remain. Fever and dysentery
are playing havoc with the boys, small
pOx is raging and heat prostration is
killing men faster than MauSer bullets.
ken our regiment had but 1870 men On
the line, the remainder being dead,
sick or wounded. Gen. Macarthur COM
planned of the number of men sick, 9th
err regiments being in the same shape
as ours, and Major Potter, with one
surgeon, was sent into Manila to rush
men to the front. Acting under inStruc-
lions he sent los men to the front. OF
these 80 were unable to reach the de-
pot, a mile distant, many of them faint
ing on the way, some % or 80 ultimately
arriving at San Fernando in worse
condition than when sent to Manila,
the others being ordered back by sur
geons along the line of railroad, who
saw that they were in a precarious
condition.
Men were ordered to the front whose
temperature was 109 degrees.
You Americans Shudder at the tyr
amy of Spain and the cruelty visited
upon the natives of Luzon and Cuba,
young Americans, who volunteered to
defend their country in the hour of peril
are giving up their lives in sacrifice to
the vanity of star-spangled generals
and a fog-headed, dollar hearted bu-
reau of officials at home. The fierce
tropical heat, the feVer-cursed atmoS-
phere and the bullets of the insurgents
are working such sad havoc among the
men that the surgeons and nurses are
unable to give the sick and wounded
the care they should receive.
You may publish this letter and my
name may be signed. I would face a
court-martial willingly and prove more
than 1 write, for know that it is only
arOuSing the sense of the states that
we can be relieved, and to stay much
longer will be the death of most of US. -
