CERVERA's SAILING CONNECTS.
Commodore Concas Said They Were
 Drunk at Santiago.

New York, Feb. 3.-Commodore Con cas, who was second in command Of Cervera's fleet at the time it was da- stroyed by the American warships out side of Santiago harbor, expressed his feelings and opinions shortly after the battle was over to an army nurse of the hospital ship Solace, and this nurse who obtained his discharge from the government service only few days ago, told of it today. The nurse is Charles Gustavus, who lives at eos Sixth avenue, Brooklyn.
 Gustavus attended Concas, who said the Spaniards were much surprised at the work of the American navy. In talking about the Spanish navy the commodore was anything but compli- mentary in his remarks. He said most of the men in Cervera's fleet were con victs from the Canary Islands, men with no intelligence. In order to in duce them to agree to leave Santiago harbor they filled them with wine, but as soon as the first shell came near them they were panic-stricken and of no use.

PERSONAL AND
 OTHER.

It is strange that any American
 newspaper man should be deceived by
 the sophfStical arguments advanced in
 Eurcpe-in France especially in fa-
 vor of so-called personal or t'respon- sible" journalism. Reflection will con- vince any intelligent journalist that signed journalism would impair the strength and prestige of newspapers without increasing responsibility"
 The whole is greater than any of it's
 parts, and the opinion of a paper is
 naturally more authoritative and in fluential than the view of any individ
 nal connected with it. The notions of A B. or 70. D." who happens to be member of the editorial staff of ''The Evening Post" are of no interest or importance to the community, but the judgment Of the paper itself is of rec
 ognized weight. This judgment is more than an expression of the writ CTS views; it not only has the sane tion Of the editor and publisher, but is rightly supposed to represent the ideas and sentiments of the entire con- stituency served by the paper. Every paper adopts a certain standard, and moral and intellectual principles. It becomes a champion of all those who accept this standard and these prin- ciples. Its authority is measured by the importance in the given society of the element for which it speaks.
 Signed journalism will not help John Jones, but it will weaken the paper which employs him. Of course, in stead of printing the articles of un- known men, it .; possible to obtain the expressions of experts and distinguish ed men. We might ask 'Hoar and Da- wis to discuss annexation, Floss and Bailey to write about the navy bill, Zola and Drumont to send us their views on the court of cessation and Beaurepaire's scandal. But every real newspaper publishes their views iI any case, and nothing would be gained. The editorial page would sim ply be destroyed. The newspaper would lose it's individuality and power.

GERMANY TRUSTS HER CONSUL
Denial That a Request Has Been Mad
 for Herr Roses Recall

Berlin. Feb. 3.-All the information Obtainable from trustworthy sources here seems to indicate the incorrect ness of the dispatch cabled from the United States to the effect that the American ambassador in Berlin had 5been instructed by the department of state to request the recall of Herr Rose, the German consul at Apia.
 The dispatch caused considerable surprise here, one journal saying that the American complaints regarding the remarks about Chief Justice Cham bers of Samoa suggested the parable of the mote and the beam. Germany's attitude, it added, has been and always will be correct throughout. If the German consul has transgressed by a hairs breadth he will be summarily dealt with, but at the present stage the foreign office is not fin position to say whether it will recall Herr Rose. His recall moreover, has not yet been demanded. It is believed in Berlin that it is not likely that an investiga- tion will show that the German repre- sentative was responsible for the incl dents at Apia.

SWEDEN UNEASY.
The Czar Takes Another Step in Fin
 land

| The CZar Takes Another Step in Fin | land.
 Chicago, Feb. 3.-The Records cable from Stockholm says The czar has taken another step in his campaign for the Russianizing of Finland. Through the imperial governor of the dependency, General Bobrikeff, he has proposed to the landtag a law provd- ing that in order to hold office the members of the Finland senate and chiefs of the governmental depart mentS must speak Russian. For a pe-
 riOd of five years judges are to be eX- cepted from the operation of this law. The systematic encroachments on the
 liberties of the Films begun by Russia during the present session of the land
 tag are causing much concern in Swed
 en. This country has never quite for
 gotten the loss of Finland and there is
 fear that Russia may contemplate
 pressing it's aggressions further west.
 Finland while still Finnish in Ian
 guage, customs and laws, has been a
 sort of buffer territory between Swed-
 en and Russia. Let Finland once be
 thoroughly Russianized and the bear
 has come a step nearer the doors of Stockholm. The desire of the czar to crush the free spirit of this depan- dency, now so manifest, it is feared, WILL I6du uILu to the dUOllIIOu u lHC deliberative assembly of the grand duchy. The loyalty of Finland cannot be called in question, but it remains to be seen how far loyalty will withstand Russian attempts at oppression. The attitude of the Finnish press is guard edly hostile toward Russian proposals. The papers intimate what they dare not say, that the Russian policy in cludes the final extinction of the Fin nish people as a race, the dissolution of their landtag and the final placing on their shoulders of the yoke of com plete submission. If the present land tag proves refractory, it is hinted that it will be dissolved, that new elections will be called and that rewards will be held out to the new legislators.
 The city of Stockholm is building a first-class hotel for working folk, mod eled after the Mills house in New York The house will have 500 rooms and will be complete in all it's appoint ments.

HORIZONS STONED.
Warned to Leave Izard County, Ar
 kansas, or Be Killed.

Little Rock, Feb, 3.-Fred w Clapp today appealed to the governor for protection against a mob of Newburg, Ark, citizens, who, MT. Clapp says, seem bent on killing all members of the Church of Latter Day Saints of that place. He says the mob stoned the Mormon church at Newburg last Sunday night, throwing rocks through the windows, hitting and seriously in turing a number of the congregation, causing the men. women and children to flee for their lives. All ran except ing his wife, who was so badly fright ened she could not move. She has since been confined to her bed, and he fears she will die. Clapp prays the governor to send protection immedi- ately to the MCrmons of IZard county. He says that he and other elders have been warned to leave instantly or suf- fer death. The governor referred Clapp's letter to Sheriff Freeman of Izard county with instructions to take such steps as the situation called for.
