Archbishop ireland Denies Report.


st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 5.-Archbishop
ireland positively denied the report sent
from Rome that the pope would not
allow him to accept the appointment to
the st. Petersburg peace conference be-
cause the Vatican was not to be repre-
scented there. FIe said: II have not
been appointed by the president to go
to st. Petersburg, and if I had been
appointed it is absurd to suppose the
holy father would say word about it."

an ALLEGED "ToRTURE CHAMBER y
Cubals Aroused Over n Reported Dis
coVery in Santiago.


Havana, Jan. 5.-The afternoon pa
pcrs yesterday sent thrill through the
city with the report that a torture and
execution chamber had been found at
the residence of the Spanish military
governor, adjoining the palace. The
papers declared that there the Spanish
officials questioned and murdered po-
litical prisoners. According to their
accounts the floor Of the chamber was
covered with dried blood and its walls
were indented with machete strokes.
An excited crowd soon gathered out
side the residence, which was last ,oc-
cupiad by General Parade. The re-
ported torture chamber Is room eight
feet by eight, just off the dining room.
AS matter of fact, 1t was probably
used as pantry. In the wall there
is dirty iron bar, evidently used to
hang meat, and piece of discolored
rope is suspended from 1t. 1t is in
conceivable that General Parade prac-
ticed torture next to his dining room.

BRYAN ON EXPANSION.

Speech at Springfield, Ills.
QUOTES PRESIDENT M'K1NLEY.

''I Speak Not of Forcible Annexation,
Because That Is Not to Be Thought
Of-Under Our Code Of Morality
That Would be Criminal Aggression
Springfield, Ills, Jan. 5.--Wllliam j.
Bryan arrived in Springfield at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He left for jack
sonville, Ills... today. and will go to
Cincinnati tomorrow. At 8 o'clock last
night he addressed an immense audi
ence In Central Music Hall. being In
troduced by Congressman-elect Benja-
min F. Caldwell. of this district
Touching the question Of annexation
Mr.. Bryan said:
"The party that was willing to op-
pose the gold standard because it was
wrong ought to be great enough to
oppose an English colonial system be-
cause 1t is wrong. 1t is astonishing
that any man living in this age of the
world, and living in the United States,
should uphold the doctrine of securing
land by conquest. Jefferson was
against 1t long years ago. Blaine was
against 1t In 1890. And year ago last
December the president of the United
states sent message to congress
and In that message he said: II speak
not of forcible annexation, because that
is not to be thought of; under our code
of morality that would be criminal ag-
gression.'
my friends, there is great moral
question involved, declared so by your
president; code Of morality Is in ques-
tlon, and according to that code forci-
BILE annexation is criminal aggression.
Il say give Independence to the peo-
pie of Cuba, not because we promised
1t to them. but because they fought for
1t and have right to 1t. whether we
promised 1t or not. Why cannot we
apply the same principle to the Phil
ippines? Why should we purchase a
title to the Philippines from Spain"
We declared that Spain did not have
any title to Cuba. When I buy the
Philippines want to deal directly with
them, and I want to pay more than
$3.50 apiece for them"

admission was charged and no purse
was hung up, 1t did not go as records.
Uncle Tom has shown great traits
as race horse. In four successive
meets he won four firsts and he won
every race in three straight heats,
making u straight heats that the bay

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES.E
Their Trainer Expects They VIII Score
"a Points at Boston.

Frank II. Bigalow, who has been
training the high school athletes who
are to compete in the interscholastic
games at Boston, Saturday, expects the
men TO score "a points in the COMPETE
lions. If they do. they viii unquestion-
ably win the shield and it will then be
theirs for keeps, as the chances of any
other school whose name Is on the
shield winning another time are slim.
Bigelow expresses his opinion of the
team IN the following letter in the High
School Sentinel which was published
yesterday:
To the students Of the Worcester high
school
AS it has been my pleasure to coach
the indoor intersch0lastic team Of the
school, it now seems but Just TO the
school to give out g. short statement
about the team and its prospects.
In many respects, the team has la
bored under disadvantages in not hav-
ing an excellent place in which to train.
but under the circumstances all the men
are in very good shape.
The men will all go to Boston in good
condition. There will not be a man
overstrained and It but remains for
each one to show his ability, both as
athlete and as individual. BY this, |
mean that a man may be an athlete
without a particle of individuality
which means that he is not a courage
Gus man who runs to the end. Such a
man is of no value to a team and l an
very glad to say that no one on the
present team has showed any tendency
towards their fault.

[ will merely say that 1 expect the team
to run with "a points. For the sake o.

and more thanks to all who have triei
for the team. I remain.
Very sincerely.

end Martin Julian, the manager of
Robert Fitzsimmons, the heavyweight
champion pugilist, met here today to
consider the bids made for the pro-
posed fight between these pusilists. H.
z. Taylor, represented a San Francis
co syndicate which offered 100000 as a
purse, w. B. Gray, represented the
WeStchester Athletic Club, $4,000, and
John p. Dunn, on behalf of he Coney

up. .....
Julian said that. if any persons con-
hected with the National Sporting Club
OF san FRANCISCO, were concerned with
lhe new syndicate, he would not &C
cept any proposals from that body.
Brady asked Mr.. Taylor what he was
prepared to cOncede for picture privi-
ieges. Taylor replied that the purse was
large enough to cover all that. Brady
objected, and so did Julian. Both
claimed that the picture privilege
the matter and declared that no club
-oifer would be considered unless the
participants in the bout should receive
percentage of the profits arising
from the reproduction of pictures of the
fight.
Mr.. Taylor asked for time to COM
municate with the San Francisco peo-
pie, whom he represented, SO that ne
could find out what arrangements ne
could offer as a definite proposition,
w. B. Gray, representing the west
chester Club, offered purse Of s21, 900,
but would not concede any prfvisions
to the fighters claiming that the purse
was sufficient. His offer was tabled.
The Coney Island Clubs representa-
tive, John P. Dunn, said the club was
willing to put up a purse Of $4,000 and
also, so far as he knew to divide the
proceeds of the picture privileges
equally between the two contestants
and the club. He also requested "A
hours to enable him to communicate
with the management Of his club. 1t
was finally agreed to give the parties
"a hours in which to make final ar
rangements as to what the bidders will
agree TO. All parties interested will
meet again tomorrow afternoon, when
it is thought a settlement will be ar
ranged.
