London Report Is That the Arch
bishop VIII BE Sent to Paris.
LONDON, March 12.-It is rumored
in Catholic American circles In Paris
Archbishop Ireland is to become papal
nuncio at Paris, to succeed NJ. Cleri,
who died the last week. 1t could not
be authoritatively confirmed in Paris.
A French prelate said:
Several reasons can be advanced in
it's favor. First, Archbishop Ireland
is persona gratissima in France. Sec
ondly, his French education suits him
for a diplomatic life here. Thirdly, the
pope, a firm friend of the French re-
public, Is credited with the opinion that
an aggressive, intellectual republican
like Ireland would be a source of
strength to France. Finally, the nun
clio is always the dean of the ambassa-
dors in Paris, and an international man
like ireland In such a position would
greatly strengthen the Vatican.
1t is absolutely certain the pope still
hugs the hope of getting back, by
diplomatic means, from Italy at least
the city Of Rome. Ireland's dignity
would be preserved by making him
cardinal. while sending him to Paris
would provoke further dissensions In
the Catholic church In America"

deceived by the assembly with prom
ises.
The question. of a successor as corr
mander-i n-chiet has not yet been col
sidered, but Gen. Mayai Rodriguez is
the next in command. No doubt Gen.
Gomez technically exceeded his au-
thority in acting independently Of the
assembly His course was certainly
calculated to arouse jealousy in that
body; but it is becoming more and
more apparent that the assembly's ace
ton was largely the result Of personal
spite and a desire to avenge sights. It
is well known that there has long been
trouble between Gen. CONF and certain
members.
The patriotic clubs have decided to
abolish the Junta Patriotica, the mem
bers of which are elected by them, and
to establish a patriotic league in it's
place. Gen. Gomez, it is said, will be
asked to accept the presidency Of the
new organization.

HAVANA, March 12-Gen. Maxine
Gomez has issued the following state
Inent to the Cuban people and army
"By use of the supreme faculties
with which ii Is endowed, the assem-
bly,, representing the army only, has
deposed me as commander -in-chief Of
the Cuban army, whicn grade it con-
felled upon me during the last war

1.-The assembly considers the fact
loans which later would compromise
the greatest financial and political in
terests Of Cuba to be an act Of Insub-
ordination and of want Of aspect The
primary cause for the action taken
against me is my conviction that Cuba
should begin the exercise Of it's own
sovereignty as republic of union and
concord, proclaimed at Monte Cristo
and maintained uniformly on the field
of battle, free from all compromises
keeping the nations honor spotless.
LAS for the rest, as a sincere man,
I confess I thank them, because they
relieve me of great political obliga-
tions and also leave me free to return
to my abandoned home, which during

the boilers with ropes and chains and
the humping ceased; but it was found
that the steampipes were broken.
The crew, it appears, never lost conf
dence, though they assert the vessel
rolled so tremendously that it would
have been possible many times to walk
on her inner sides. Three boats We're

but apparently all efforts to induce
them to leave the trenches were futile.
The American authorities in Manila
say the city is now SO effectively po-
Iced that a serious outbreak is impos-
sible. They believe that the natives

The presence Of the families of Off

leaving on board the United States
transport, some going to Japan for
temporary residence. Gen. Otis has
remarked:

eigner as I am, I did not come to the
service of this country in helping it
to defend it's just cause as a mercenary
soldier; and, consequently, since the
oppressive power of Spain has with
drawn from this land and left Cuba in
freedom, I have sheathed my sword,

upon myself.

GEN. BROOKE INTERESTED.
Gov. Gen. Brooke was notified last
night Of the deposition Of Gomez and
when seen this morning he was much
interested to learn the details of the
assembly's proceedings. He said he
could not express an opinion as to the
effect of the adssembly's action upon
the future relations between Gomez and
the United States. particularly in the
matter Of disbursing the $4,000. 900 Of
tered by Washington to the Cuban
troops as condition of disbandment.
out the impression seems to be among
the American authorities that, as the
assembly has never been officially rec
ogn1zed by the United States govern
ment, it's action, SO far as Washington
is concerned, will not amount to more
than the resolutions of any other body
Of individuals.
The assembly is being strongly CEN
sured by Cubans on all sides, and there
were popular demonstrations this aft
ernoon in favor of the deposed COM
mander-in-chief, the crowds shouting.
Long live Gomezr' Death to the as
sembly!"
Gen. Gomez during the day received
numerous visitors, all of whom ass1r
ed him OF their affection and LOYALTY
and that the declarations by the as
sembly could not represent even the
army, as the elections which gave its
members their present positions are
really voidable for il1egality and DO
litical jobbery.
There is no doubt that the majority
of the public support Gomez as against
the assembly. The local press will
probably attack the assembly. urging
its dissolution as the solution of the
matter, and adding that there are no
reasons why the United States gov
ernment should not continue to treat
with Gen. Gomez in the matter of pay
ment of the troops.
1t Is said on good authority that the
pay rolls Gomez is preparing to hand
Gen. Brooke are most complete. full
and fair, and that when the army
learns he can aid the troops in procur-
Ing $S.0o0,000, whereas it is problemat-
ical whether the assembly can obtain
anything, there is little doubt as to the
side the army will take in the contro-
versy. The troops are tired Of the

of the Collapse.
CHICAGO, March 12-The massive
fire wall on the eight-story structure,
207-211 Jackson boulevard, which was
partly destroyed by fire last night, fell
almost without warning today, COM
pletely demolishing the adjoining build
ing and setting the ruins on fire. The
loss on the building and contents Is
estimated at $215000; fully insured.
So sudden was the collapse of the
fire wall that a score of firemen barely
escaped being caught under the mass
of masonry.
The loss on last nights fire will
probably be much heavier than at first
thought. Losses which last night were
believed to be only partial were found
today, in some cases, to be complete,
and it is now estimated the total loss
will approximate 100000. Besides the
firms burned out In the buildings at
203-205 and 207-211 Jackson boulevard

ing, to the west, sustained much dam
age from smoke and water
The buildings destroyed were in the
center of the wholesale district, and
for a time the whole district was
threatened, southwest gale carrying
burning brands almost half a mile.

such a heavy fall was Nov. 16. 1886.

Nov. q, 1898, there was fall of ten

was that there is no consolation to be
derived from thinking that the rest
of the country suffered as much as st.

exceedingly local in It's nature, and
almost the entire force was spent in
the immediate vicinity of st. Paul and

train advanced toward White Bear the
snowdrifts became deeper and deeper
and the trains progress became slower

was too much for the locomotive and
it was finally forced to give up the

them.
The yellow Kid promptly suggest

might have something to eat, and ev-
