of that church. Among the congrega-
ton he was loved for his genial. manly
and unassuming ways and his kind and
generous heart. He was in the seventy

would know how to bring on war or

HnytPs Minister at Washington Sur.

nay SUR
prised at Report of Trouble.
Washington, April 5-Minister Leger
of Hayti expressed much surprise at the
reports of an invasion of Hayti by
Santo Dominican force over boundary
dispute, as the minister says this entire
controversy was submitted by treaty,
concluded last December, to the final
arbitration of Pope Leo. The countries
are waiting for the pope's award. Mr..
Leger has received no official advices of
the reported critical condition of affairs.
The boundary dispute is of long stand
ing. Mr.. Leger says Hayti is most anx-
ious to preserve peace. so as to devote
herself to internal development. Just
now she is interested in an important
fiscal change to the gold standard which
will be gradually accomplished within
the next year. Neither the state nor the
navy department has any advices on
the reported trouble in Hayti and San
Domingo.

of naval surgeon closely identified
with the admiral, he was in as good
health as could be expected in such
climate. The surgeon general goes to
Boston next week to plan additions to
the naval hospital at Chelsea. About

kitchens, lavatories, ETC., and leave the

poses.

Splendid ExampIe of obea,.pce

London, April 6.-The Rome corre
spondent of the Morning Post says:
Archbishop Ireland is said to regard
the submission of the American prelates
to the pope's letter on 'Amercanism'
as one of the most splendid examples
of obedience ever shown by the Catholic
clergy. He is surprised that the letters
Of Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop
Corrigan cause criticism, which, in his
Judgment has arisen from the disap-
pontment felt by the extreme party at
seeing the American prelates escape the
snares laid for them
