MANILA. Aug. 10. via Hong Kong,
Aug. 23.-The Filipino rebels appear to
retain much more of fighting spirit
than might be expected after their re-
cent San Fernando experiences and
General Lawton's drubbings IN the
South.
After giving up San Fernando with
feeble struggle. they entrenched them
selves at Angeles. working for several
days and impressing noncombattants
into the work. thus saving the armed
men for the fighting. They engaged

some Of the outer keys and guards the
conclave from violence.
The most extraordinary precautions are
taken to shut out intrigues and political
influence. Each of the European nations
naturally takes an interest in the election
and zealously tries to have the election
turn out to its own interest. All these
precautions are necessary to withstand
any pressure that might be brought to
bear on the conclave and to allow the
Cardinals to vote for him who seems best
fit before God to spiritually govern ESQ.,
100000 of people. The whole building Is
searched to see there is no one there ex-
cept those who have right to be, and this
search takes place twice every day. Even
the food is searched for secret documents
to see that it contains no letters or ad-
vices or matters prejudicial to the con-
scientious and just election of the Pontiff.
Any man in the Catholic church is ell
gible to the office of Pope, be he Cardinal
or Bishop. priest or layman, married or
single. The Cardinals are free in this
matter. but from the time of Urban VI
the custom has prevailed of electing
Cardinal and an italian Cardinal at that.
In these United States the law obtains
that he who is elected to the Presidency
must be born in the States. but the Cath

nails are chosen to inspect the votes, to
revise the election and to certify to its
legality and regularity.
The ballots are printed on paper, and
each Cardinal writes the name of his
choice for Pope on the inside of the paper,
folds it, seals 1t with his own seal, made
for him and supplied for the occasion An
altar is erected at the end of the chapel
and large gold chalice and paten are
placed thereon. The inspectors of election
take their place at the altar. The Car

at the hands of the Bishop of Ostia: so
that any man in the Catholic church may
be a candidate for Pope. Nowadays an
Italian Cardinal is usually elected because
of the great interests of the church in the
city of Rome The immense property and
wealth that has been accommodating for
nineteen centuries in Rome seems to de-
mand 1t. One visit to Rome will easily
convince that great interests are at stake
and that Rome is the only place for the
Pope's residence, being the center of cult
ure, refinement and civilization. Naturally
an Italian Pope prefers his own country
and the city of Rome as his residence
For an Italian turns to Rome as naturally
as the magnet turns to the pole. Even
the Italians Of this country long for the
deep blue Italian sky and the balmy CHI
mate of Italy, which is the most salubri-
Gus and enchanting cHmateof any on earth
Again history tells US that the French
men who were elected to the papal chair
returned to. France, built magnificent pal
aces and dwelt there, conducting the
business of the church from the city Of
Avignon. But to-day these palaces are
empty and OF no value to the church since
Pope Gregory returned to Rome from
Avignon at the persuasion of St. Gather
Inc of Sienna The Pope has remained in
Rome ever since.
The voting in the conclave takes place
in the chapel twice day, morning and
evening. Each Cardinal has desk decor
ated with his coat of arms assigned to
him. Immediately before the election be-
gins an Augustinian monk celebrates
mass When the mass is concluded all the
attendants withdraw, leaving the Cardi-
nails severely alone. They then prepare
to cast their first ballot. Two-thirds of
the votes must be given by ballot to val
idly elect. When the Cardinals cannot agree
they can select two Cardinals and leave
the election of the Pope to them. This is
called an election by compromise. and
when all without delay proclaim certain
one for Pope, as if by inspiration, this is
called an election by quasi-inspiration.
Leo XIII was elected in this way. His
election was due to Cardinal Antonelli.
While they could not.agree on a two-thrd
ballot, Cardinal Antonelli, seeing that
Cardinal Pecchi was gaining in favor at
each ballot, went over to him. knelt down
and kissed his hand and saluted him as
the Holy Father. The other Cardinals

proclaimed him Pope. Thus Leo XIII
owes his election to quasi-inspiration.
When the ballots are counted and no one
has received two-thirds vote the voting
papers are taken to a fireplace and
burned. The smoke ascending through a.
certain chimney is a sign to an immense
concourse of people assembled outside for
news of the election and to obtain the
new Holy Fathers blessing, that the Car
dinals have not yet decided on any one
for Pope. When they see the smoke they
return to their homes, to come again in
the evening or the morning, as the case
may be. Then the Cardinals retire to
their apartments to await the next ballot.
This is repeated each day till Pope
is elected. Before the voting takes
place a number of committees Of Cardi-

in their selection of a successor to st.
Peter. This assembly of Cardinals is the
most august assembly in the world, and
is the only assembly that is known by
the word conclave. In the veins of these
Cardinals flows the purest and richest and
noblest blood on earth. They are the sons
of the old Romans, descended from the
conquerors of the world heirs of the Sem
ators of old Rome who made and unmade
nations The cells in which the Cardinals
are to dwell during elections are twenty
feet square and twenty feet high The
cells of the Cardinals who have been
elected to office by the late Pope are
decorated with violet tapestry, while the
cells of the older Cardinals are covered
with green or red. The cell is divided into
two compartments, one for the Cardinal
and the other for his secretary. A Car
dinaI of princely rank may have three
cells and two secretaries for personal at
tendants. When ali are assembled within
the windows and all entrances to the con-

personal attendance upon him. These are
called conclavsts. A number of other at
tendants are also allowed inside the con-
clave, viz, a carpenter, a mason, sac
ristan, a friar or monk to hear confess
sions, a number of BARRIERS, eight or ten
porters and several other domestics to do
common service to the whole body of Car
dinals.
The word "conclave'' comes from the
fact of closing the door with key.

conclave refers to the Enclosure as well

the Pope. Each Cardinal is allowed two
rooms, called cells, one for himself and
one for his secretary. During these days,
and up to this time, the usual everyday
official business of the Cardinals lives
goes on. Ministers and ambassadors
come to transact business with the vari-
Gus Cardinals. They stand before them
with uncovered head and in the same
manner as before the Pope himself, since
the Cardinals have now assumed supreme
power In the church. Only one Cardinal
responds to the questions asked by the
representatives of the various Govern
ments, namely, the dean of the Sacred
College. Finally sermon is delivered in

There are four apertures in the walls,

meals are passed and anything else that
is absolutely required. All this is to
avoid any communication with the outer
world and to prevent fraud or political
influence being used on the Cardinals in
the casting of their votes. The outside

His love Of earth, Of sky, Of life;

Writing Of Bret Harte in California"

the manner Of all the Argonauts OF
those days. In 1863, while he was set

local renown, he offered to the editors,
with much difiidence, occasional contri.

OF them with amused contempt. In the
Californian Harte printed nothing
more ambitious than bits OF verss and
slight local sketches in prose. The
titles OF some Of these were "Side-Walk-
ipgs,' ION Balcony and "a Boys
Dog" Nearly all OF them, think, were
hunted up and reprinted in more en-.
during form when HATE had become
a celebrated author. His celebrity gave
these trifles an importance which he
never dreamed they would acquire.
Harte always manifested in his work
that fas,idiousness in choice OF words
which has characterized him ever since.
1t was humorously complained o. him
that he filed the newspaper office
aste-baskets with his rejected manu-.
scripts and produced next to nothing

task Of writing an obituary article that
was not to exceed "two stickfuls," in
length, he actually filed waste-t asket

up before he produced the requisite
amount Of matter. Going into my own
editorial room, early one forenoon, I
found Harte at my desk, writing little
note to make an appointment with me
to dine together later in the day. See.
ing me. he started up with the remark
that my early arrival at the Office would
obvate the necessity Of his finishing the
note which he was writing, and which
he tore up as he spoke. When, this
little matter was settled, Harte had
