LETTER TO CUBAN PRIESTS
Bishop Of Havana Points Out the Changed
Conditions
Clergy Must Now Seek Support Freuu
Their ParishiOners-NO More
Aid From State.

HAVANA, January 1.-THE bishcp of
Havana, recognizing that under American
military rule the church cannot be sup
ported out of the public revenues issued
q circular letter today to the priests of the
different parishes, directing that the church
be hereafter maintained by private con-
tributons.
The church is rich in Havana and poor
in other parts of the island. The religious
orders, especially those occupying the con-
vents, are wealthy, but the parishes in the
interior are poor
The bishop alluded in his circular to the
political revolution and the changes in the
position of the church and the priests who
have no one to help them except members
of the church. Therefore, he said, the
priests must impress on their parishioners
the necessity of making contributions. He
also urged them to use prudence, pointing
out that the aims pure necessity and
not to insist upon too much or unduiy trou-
BILE the parishioners with communications.
The bishop appreciates the generosity of
the Cuban people, understands their pow
erty, and suggests that the priests address
themselves first to the wealthy. He also
suggests renting seats in the churches at
3, 10 and 10 cents, and the establishment of
boxes for voluntary contributions. The
bishop further advises the appointing of
parish collectors.
The Catholic clergy, foreseeing for months
past the coming position of the church,
has adapted itself to the present condi-
tlons. The bishop has not asked General
Brooke to aid the church or TO maintain
the former system.
Finally, the bishop of Havana announces
that an apostolic delegate is expected here.
The new municipal government takes pos
session OF the offices and records and as
sumes authority at noon today.

NEW TRIAL FOR DREYFUS
Court of Cessation Decides His Guilt Was
Not Proven.
Declares That the Act of Treason for
Which He Was Sentenced
Was Committed.

PARIS, January 1.-THE Matin and the
Gaulois this morning say they understand
that the inquiry of the court of cessation
into the Dreyfus case is on the point of
terminating, and that the court will prob
ably report that acts of treason actually
occurred, but that sufficient proof of the
guilt of Dreyfus does not exist, and that
his sentence, therefore, is quashed. The
papers add that there will be a fresh court
martial.
Dreyfus, it appears, was informed of the
revision proceedings some time ago, but he
is under the impression that they are due
to the initiative of the general staff and
in his letter the prisoner thanks Gen Bois-
dohre, the former chief of the general staff,
and his comrades of the army for the ac-
ton taken.

The Minimum Number Fixed by the
Inv Must Be Retnined.

Secretary Alger has been obliged to make
a new rule to prevent the reduction of the
army below the point of safety through
the discharge of enlisted men upon appli-
cation. Every time a volunteer regiment of
troops is ordered to move toward Cuba or
Porto Rico or the Philippines, or indeed in
any direction, applications pour in at the
War Department from the friends and rela-
tives of a number of the private soldiers
seconded in many cases by the representa-
tives in Congress from the district where
the volunteer regiment Is recruited, all re-
Questing the immediate discharge of GER
tain soldiers. AS long as the War Depart
ment was willing TO bring the army down
in number to a peace basis it was able to
grant many of these applications but now
that there is need for nearly all of the men
in the army, and in the absence of action
by Congress towards replacing the volun-
teers by regulars, the department is OBJ
Hged to hold on to the men.
Accordingly, Secretary Alger has adopted
the rule in dealing with applications for
discharge, that even where they are sane
toned by the company commanders, they
cannot be granted if to do so would be to
reduce the strength of the company below
the minimum fixed by law. To carry out
still further the precautionary measure 1t
is also ordered that no applications for dis
charge be entertained once regiment has
received orders to move.

policy of the church to exercise a spiritual
jurisdiction over every square foot of ter

Episcopal Church will not delay carrying
