KA1Ros REACHES HALIFAX.
Two Steamers Were Obliged to Give
Her Up at Sea.

Halifax. N s., April 1.-THE steamer
Kairos which was disabled in mid-ocean,
nearly month ago, while bound for Great
Britain, arrived at this port to-day with
out assistance. She had been in tow Of
two different steamers, but both were
Obliged to give up all attempts to get her
into port owing TO the boisterous weather
that has prevailed.
The captain of the Kairos had a difficult
task working his ship TO Halifax.
The crew of the Kairos succeeded In
rigging jury rudder by which they were
able 20 guide the vessel on her course to
this port.
Capt. William Duncombe of the Kairos
describing his experiences, stated that af-
ter encountering variable weather on
March 16 the Kairos ran into a heavy
northerly gale. accompanied by tremend-
Gus seas, which swept over the vessel
fore and aft AT o'clock a. m when
the vessel was in latitude 4l.Sl, longitude

the trunk so that the water poured into

With great difficulty the trunk was Sc

success.
on several succeeding days moderate
gales and high seas were met On the

not answer. Alterations were made but

MUST SHOW MORE INTEREST.
Georgia Naval Reserves May Get No
Vessel at All.

Washington, April 1l.--(SpeciaD. The
naval reserves at Brunswick are going TO
make an effort to participate In the prae-
tice cruise Of the training ship Prairie.
A telegram was received at the navy
department to-day from the commanding
officer OF the Brunswick battalion TO the
effect that IL Is doubtful whether the state
authorities will make an appropriation for
the subsistence OF the reserve during the
proposed cruise.
So anxious are the Brunswick reserves
to take this advantage OF the opportunity
for actual sea service. that they are rails
ing the necessary funds by public sub
scription among their friends.
Assistant Secretary Allen says he has
heard nothing from the Savannah Bat
talon, although telegram was sent Gov
Gambler yesterday, but no reply has been
received. He says II will not be possible
to assign two vessels 10 the Georgia re-
serves, as only one rs loaned to each state
coming up to the requirements OF the law
on the subject.
New York, having the largest reserve
in the country, asked for two ships TO
accommodate Its militia, but the request
was denied. Mr.. Allen says unless the
Georgia reserves show more interest in the
service and demonstrate their ability TO
take care OF a ship, no assignment will
be made to that state.

POPE MEETS SACRED COLLEGE.
AbundantIy Thankful for RestOra-

4ion of His Health.
Rome, April 1.-THE Pope to-day re-
ceived the members of the Sacred Col
lege, who congratulated the poutiff on his
restoration to health
In his address to the cardinals, the Pope,
after expressing gratitude to the Deity for
his restoration to health, and his thank
fulness for the proofs of affection from
all parts of the world, warmly eulogized
the Cars initiative in calling the peace
conference and expressed the hope that It
would lead to the settlement of all dis
putes between nations by moral and pa
cific means.
The Pontiff also dwelt at length upon the
church's mission of pacification, not only
in the domain of conscience, but in the
public and social sphere, a motion which
the church fulflls in proportion with the
freedom left to her action"
Continuing, the Pope said:
Every time the church has intervened
directly in the serious affairs of the world,
1t has assured public welfare, and the
Popes have often stopped oppression and
secured truces and peace treaties.
Civilization would have perished with
out papal authority to vindicate the su-
premacy of right over might. Expressions
may some time embarrass and curtail the
powers of religion, but amid all vicissi-
tudes the church pursues its beneficent
mission which embraces heaven and earth.
Pure humanitarian could not assure real
and lasting prosperity. An attempt is even
now perceptible to withdraw civilization
from the influence of Christinaity."
The Pope concluded with bestowing his
benediction upon those present in a firm
strong voice.
Beside The cardinals a number of bish-
ops and other dignitaries of the church
were present

Later the enemy attacked the outposts

simultaneously the outposts of the ore

on the way to Manila, were attacked. with

road as thickly as possible and the reb-
els driven back to the foothills.
The roadbed of the railroad was dam

Under the Guise of Friends.
1t is supposed that many of the rebels
who attacked Gen. MacArthur's line of
communication, and who were repulsed by
the'troops commanded by Gen. Wheaton,
were natives who entered that region in
the guise Of friendies.
They had seemingly secreted arms In
several places, and fired on the Americans
from the bushes at so close a range that
they could be heard talking.
One of the Filipinos yelled in English:
I'VE will give you damned Americans
enough of this before we are through"
The rebels undermined the railroad at
Marlao and unspiked the rails in an
effort to wreck train, while the railroad
gang participated in the fight. The work
of the rebels was discovered and repaired
when the train arrived.
Gen. Wheaton is preparing to punish the
Filplnos.
The military gunboats Napidau and La
guna de Bay have succeeded In entering
the Santa Cruz river and have captured
an unarmed Spanish gunboat and three

The military gunboat Oeste has brought

pino and six wounded Americans to the

Washington, April 11.-Maj. Gen. Shaft
er, who conducted the campaign against
Santiago, was the principal witness before
the beef inquiry to-day
His statement differed little from his
testimony before the war investigating
commission. He said he ate canned roast
beef cold, and found 1t not disagreeable.
The refrigerated beef was as fine as any
he ever ate The men who suffered for
lack of food had only themselves to blame.
If there had been mistakes, Congress
which provides the rations and clothing Of
soldiers, was responsible
He admitted that he had never heard of
canned roast beef before the war While
1t was not very palatable in the tropics
he thought it would be very good in a
cold climate.
sNome of the Pennsylvania volunteers
gave direct testimony as to the tainted
character of the refrigerated beef and the
canned roast beef. One of taem testified
that beef aboard the Mississippi had mag
gots in it.

Berlin. April 11.-Dr Joannes Raffel. this
former German president Of the Municipal
council of Apla, Samoa, has arrived here.

officials OF the German foreign Office.
The Lokal Anzeiger to-day prints an In
terview with Dr. Ranel, In which he il
quoted as saying:
THE decision Of Chief Justice Cham
bers In favor Of Tanu was partly due tn
the fact that Mataafa Is a Catholic, while
Tanu is a proselyte of the English mis-
sionaries. Mataafa Is the only King the
Samoans will tolerate"
There has been a sudden yeering OF
views upon the part of both the minister
of foreign affairs, Baron Won Buclow, and
the Emperor
A foreign office official said tonight to
the correspondent here OF the Associated
Press, in energetic language, that Germa-
ny, before engaging In an investigation of
the commissions work, must insist upon
the American and British governments un-
mistakaby disavowing the hagrant viola-
tions committed by Admiral Kautz and
Capt, Sturdee. In the absence of dis
avowal. for Germany TO Join the commis-
sion would be mere farce. He added
when the commission starts 1t must
start on the status quo and not on a status
created by the Illegal acts of subordinates

More energetic still is the seml-oficiaI
announcement OF the Hamburg Corre-

In responding to the toast TO "rhe

his cordial reception by the American peo-

will make for the peace of the world"

proposed the health of President Mckinley
Mr. Choate, responding, alluded to his
more than friendly reception here and said
that while he did not believe the two coun-
tries would march shoulder to shoulder as
Lord Charles Beresford had suggested he
was convinced there would hereafter be
a good understanding between the two
which would be benefit 10 both and to
the world in general,
