ous Symptoms may Intervene.
ROME. March 2.-The pope passed a
good night. He took q little soup and
brandy at midnight and then fell
asleep.
The fever increased somewhat during
the night. but DR.. Lapponi says this Is
usually the case after such an operation
as the patient underwent on yesterday,
and that sleep will do the most to re-
store strength.
DR.. Mazzoni will dress the part oper-
ated upon this morning, Although the
condition of the pontifr Is not consider

feet of the congregation OF the propa-

Cardinal Oreglia. dean OF the sacred

chancellor or the holy Roman church

junction with Cardinal Ledochowski,

In case of the pope's death.
Prior to the operation. the pontiff
would not allow the wound to be sown
up. 50 the doctors mad to be content
with drawing the ends together with
plaster.
After. the wound had been dressed,
chatting quietly with DR.. Mazzoni. the
pope smiiingiy said: 4 want you 10 cure
me without any pain In two days"
The surgeon replied In the same
spirit: Your holiness must not expect
me 10 perform miracles"
The pope for the present will partake
only of liquid nourishment such as soup,
raw eggs and watered wine.
The doctors positively deny that there
is any dysentary or danger of blood
poisoning. They are confident OF restor-
ing the health Of the pontiff.
DR.. MnzZoni to-day said to high per-
sonage Mt the vatican who asked for
confidential Information on the subject,
that II the pope recovered as he fully
expected, there was no reason why he
should not live another ten years. SO
great Is his vitality.
$3.50 p. m.-The pope was very cheer
full all day long and In an interested
way asked the doctors from time to
time what they thought of his condition.
They reassured him. There was, how
ever, some slight Increase in his tenn
perature, to which the doctors attach
some Importance, although hoping 1t Is
merely due to the nourishment he has
taken. DR.. Lapponi will remain in at
tendance at the vatican tonight.

ALEXANDRIA. Egypt, March q
Cecil Rhodes. who In the eyes OF most
Englishmen. is the incarnation of the
imperialistlc policy, holds views con-
cernins the future Of the United States
even more far-reaching than most
American imperiulists have broached.
Mr.. Rhodes. In conversation with rep
resentative of the Associated Press on
board the steamer HGpsburg, on the
Mediterranean by which he came to
Egypt in the interests of the Cape-to-
Cairo railroad and telegraph, predicted
most confidently that within T. century
the United States would have advanced
the work begun In the acquisition Of
Cuba until 1t controlled all Of the Amer
lean hemisphere except Canada. The
substance of the conversation Is repro
duced without absolute verbal accuracy.
Mr.. Rhodes expressed admiration for
the work already done In Cuba and pre-
dlctcd that 1t would be carried on In the
Philippines. The United States he con-
siaered one of the nations best equipped
for colonization and repeatedly eX-
claimed:
You are taking It like mothers milk,
apparently with the greatest delight.
He inquired with great interest what
were the arguments of the opponents Of
imperiallsts In the United States and
commented that they seemed to be AMI
mated by selfishnesS. TT Is the duty Of
civilized nations to take charge Of tho
Darbarians and give them a white mans
ernment," he said. 1.-THE United States
is one of the great powers and cannot
escape this duty"
He did not believe that the United
States would ever withdraw its authori-
ty from Cuba. and thought that the
manner In which Spain had been evicted
from her colonies and the United States
had taken possession. most business
like. Americas action in compensatlng
Spain for the Philippines surprised him.
II would have bundled the Spaniards
out and made them pay war indemni-
ty." was his comment
He declared that the United States
could never withdraw from the Philip
pines, because It was their duty to give
these people a strong and good govern
ment. nor did he believe that when
they had begun to realize the results OF
their work there Americans would de-
sire to abandon the policy, They might
grumble for time over the expense, but
that would be mere fen bite" to n
nation so rich. Why not abandon some
of the expense of the pension list, which
seemed so unreasonably large, If econ
omy was necessary.
To the suggestion of nnti-imperiaiists
that the Philippines would only be the
beginning of colonization, he said:
There are no more Islands of the sea
to be acquired. They are all taken up.
The territory Of savage races Is practi-
cally oil pre-empted by civilization. The
ultimate work of the United States will
be to govern South America. You will
probably begin with Mexico. acquire the
Central American states, then those on
the continent Of South America, until
You hold all the country to the south OF
You. These states have incompetent
governments = practically barbarian
gevernments-and 1t will be yonr duty
to give them the white mans govern
ment."

Ro,1E's INTERPRETATION
Ofthc Pope's Letter to Cardinal Glib
bons on "Amcricanism."


bons on "Amcricanism."
ROME. March 2.-The impression pre-
walls here-now that the dust has set
tied and things can be seen clearly
that the ppoe's letter to Cardinal Glib
bons approves real "Americanism" and
condemns those who have misrepre-
sented 1t. The pope collected, examined
and definitely repudiated all such mis-
representations. Evidently he believes
that the things so alleged never existed
In America for the American bishops
would have denounced them and his
holiness thus Vindlcates true "Ameri-
canlsm."
Archbishop Ireland's letter appears to
have ably emphasized the pope's Views.
and 1t Is generally understood that Car
dinal Rampolla, papal secretary of
state. has assured him that the pope
never condemned and never Intended to
condemn real "Amcrlcnnism." declaring
also that Archbishop Ireland had right
ly Interpreted the Views OF the pope and
requested him to make the fact known.

sensational Story ofClarcnce Walters
Refnted by Lieut.. Sewell-Dr. Chris
tine also Gets in q Denial.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March a.
There were several interesting develop
ments in the beef court OF inquiry to-
day. 1t was q field day for the, ,.volun-
teer arm of the service, the waiting
room being filled all day with members
of the various volunteer regiments
which served In Cuba and Porto Rico.
The first of these, Clarence Walters. of
the First volunteer engineers, told q
sensational story of hardship and inhu-
manity suffered during his service, de-
scribing the canned roast beef in harsh
er terms than have ever before been
applied to that much-discussed article.
Later In the day, Lieutenant Sewell.
United States army, who was major of
the volunteer battalion In which Wal
ters served, contrndicted his story COM
pletely. saying there was no canned
roast beef aboard the transport which
took the command TO Porto Rico. Fur
ther than that. he said. Walters had
come to him after landing and asked to
be discharged. so as 20 accept a posi-
tiol as newspaper, correspondent and on
being questioned. said that he had been
we'll treated while In the service and
had no complaint to make.
An importan. development was the
denial Of the story by one James Far
| nan and also attributed to DR.. Maxwell
Christine, OF Philadelphia, that theF
had seen beef injected with chemicals
in an GUIANA packing house. Dr..
Christine explained that what he had
seen was the pIckllng of corned meats.
| the brine being Injected into the meat
| TO save several weeks time in the
pickl!BgsYat.
The question of counsel for General
Miles before, the court Is stil in abey-
ance, some correspondence having
| passed between the general and the
| court, but both sides decline to give out
the letters till settlement is reached.
| General Miles has not asked 70 be rep
resented bY counsel, presumably be-
cause that would put him In the posi-
! tion Of admitting himself on trial By the
court, which up to date he has declined
to admit. On the other hand, the cour,
does not feel able under the articles of
war to permit Major Lee or anyone
| else to cross-quest!ou Witnesses unless
he can be recognized officially as coun-
sci for the defense. 1t was stated that
this matter probably Will be settled to-
| morrow.
| The court expects to start west Tues
| day or Wednesday OF next week.

During almost the entire session to-day
the senate was engaged in routine busI-
ness. Three score or more of minor

cleared entirely of private pension bills
and OF measures correcting military and
naval records. Two measures OF na-
ti9nal importance we're passed, the for
tliications appropriation bill and the
bill! providing code of criminal laws
for the district OF Alaska. A provision
ior the high licensing OF the liquor traf-
nc IN the latter measure created con-
siderable discussion, and an effort was
made 20 incorporate an absolute prohi-
bit!on amendment, but 1t failed by L
