DARING EXPEDITION
OF A BRAVE VOLUNTEER

TACOMA, Wash, May 1S.-News was
received here to-day from Manila of a
dangerous expedition undertaken last
month by George Harlan or COMPANY K
First Washington Volunteers The Watts
burg volunteer undertook to carry a mes
sage to General Lawton through the
country infested with insurgents. He
padded thirty miles up the river in a
plrcn canoe, at times pursued by rebels.
and narrowly escaped capture His dar.
ing trip resulted successfully, and he was
highly commended.
Freedom published at Manila gives
this account: AS there had not been any
communication since Lawton's expedition
reached Santa Cruz it was decided 10 send
a scout with messages to General Law
finally decided to send Harlan in a canoe,
as he was familiar with birch bark long
before he came to the Philippines. But
when one thinks of the lonely trip through
miles, on strange waters, with nothing
but a fragile canoe of eighteen inches
width and twelve feet long under him, it
brings out the dangers of the trip
Harlan embarked at $50 D. m Sunday
and started up the river to the lake. it
was not so dark but that the sharp-eyed
natives soon discovered him and as he got
OUT OF the river he noticed several canoes
after him. Then there was an exciting
chase, IN which the natives were gradual
ly gaining on the bold scout When he
saw there was no escape in a straight
run he lodged into a lagoon and crossed
1t, but was persistently followed One
last desperate chance was all that was
left and he took it.
Being now In line between the pursuing
party and large fish net he was invs-
lble to them on account of the darkness.
SO he padded for the net as fast as he
could; On reaching 1t he broke through
noiselessly and lay down in his canoe
under the friendly shadow. The natives,
never thinking of such a bold trick, sep
arated, three going on each side of him,
Harlan lying safely concealed.
After resting he showed out again and
made his way along the shadow of the
land until he got to Santa Cruz. Twice
more he was pursued by armed natives,
but each time succeeded in giving them
and was highly praised for his daring

Pope Approves the Anti

WHAT THE BISHOP SAID
MADE POWERFUL PLEA FOR
HUMAN RIGHTS.
Protested Against Shooting Down ths
Filipinos Because They Strug-

Freedom.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-A cable to
the Journal from Rome says: The
Pope has expressed his approval of the
anti-expansion speech made by Bishop.
B. L. Spaulding of Peoria at the Chi
cago meeting on April g.
In the address just approved by the
Pope Bishop Spaulding said:
The rise and fall of nations, as of in
dividuals. are determined by moral forces
We have never looked upon ourselves as
predestined to subdue the earth, to com
pei other nations with sword and shell
to submit to our rule
We have always believed in human
rights. in freedom and opportunity, in
education and religion, and we have in
vited all men to come and enjoy the bless
ings in this half of the world which God
has given us; but we have never dreamed
that they were articles to be exported
and thrust down unwilling throatS at the
point of the bayonet.
We have sympathiZed with all op-
pressed people with Ireland, Greece, Ar
menia, Cuba; and now the American sol
der who has never Shouldered a gun
except in righteous cause, is sent o iu.oUo
miles across the sea to shoot men whose
real crime is that they wish TO be 1ree.
If the inhabitants of the Philippines came
gladly to, throw themselves into our arms
we SAoulu refuse 70 oo AliOi - 49,
guide and protect them until they FORM
themselves into a stable and Independent
government.
A war of conquest is in contradiction
with our fundamental principles or gov
ernment; it is opposed to all our traditions.
The Bishop protested against imper-
ialism, and declared that the American
people were victims of con1mercialism.
He added:
If 1t is our destiny to become an en-
pire it is not our destiny to endure as
republic. When the American people re-
solve not to hold what they never intended
to take possession of they will have little
difficulty in solving the Philippine prob
lem. Let them not hearken to the siren
voice of English hattery.

GUARDS APPEAL
FOR PROTECTION
Marin County Authori-
ties to Act.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON. May 18.-
phere of the jute mill, and at least
four guards, known to be marked for
the knife of the assassin, are continu-
ally on the alert lest the floor of the
old building be stained with their life
blood
Despite the angry denials of Warden
Hale and Captain Edgar that further
trouble is anticipated another prisoner
deliberately violated a rule of disci-
pline to-day, and while being led to
Captain Edgar's office threw away an
eight-inch dirk of prison make.
The absolute refusal of Captain Ed
gar to throw the ringleaders in the plot
of murder into the dungeon has caused
the guards under the ban of the human
fiends TO seek the aid of Captain Bir-
lem in taking precautions for their SAT-
ETY., and yet when Captain Birlem in
formed the Warden of the impending
danger he was dismissed without even
a word of thanks.
Driven to last extremity. the guards
have been forced to ask the interference
of the Marin County authorities. Dig
trict Attorney McIsaac arrived from
San Rafael this morning, and made an
investigation by request. He found the
existing conditions so alarming that he
states his intention in case of the death
of Guard Mcdonald to arrest Frisco
Slim" O'Neill Wilson and Phelan. and
prosecute them as accompliceS before
the fact. Not only is this state of alarm
not overdrawn, but despite his evaSions
and denials, Warden Hale was forced
this evening to admit every fact pub
lished in to-day's Call, although he in
formed the evening papers that there
was not a grain of truth in the story.
Captains Birlem an6 Edgar are per-
sonal enemies and never speak except
on official business, and it is alleged
by a prominent prison official that the
reason why Captain Edgar permits the
guards lives to be exposed to such
deadly dangers is that he believes Cap
tain Birlem to be furnishing the papers
with the facts concerning his actions.
Warden Hale has all along been on
Captain Edgar's side and virtually ad-
mitted where his sympathies lie by
bringing the subject of this enmity up
in an interview this evening.
DR.. Lawlor refuses to say whether or
not his life is in danger, but as for an
alleged interview in an evening paper
wishes it understood that he merely
declared he was not personally afraid,
but disliked newspaper publicity be-
cause the articles frightened his wife.
At S:45 o'clock tonight the physi-
clan pronounced Guard Mcdonald much
better and thought the chances of re-
covery were about one in two.

AFRAID OF sEAsICKNEsS.
Why Grover Cleveland and Captain
Evans Remained Away From
Port Clinton.

TOLEDO. Ohio, May 1S.-Captain Rob-
ley D. Evans. late Of the battleship Iowa,
and Grover Cleveland were scheduled to
participate in the cornerstone laying ex-
ercises at Port Clinton to-day. They are
fishing at Middle Bass Island and at the
last moment backed out because of the
heavy sea on Lake Port Clinton. The
citizens were advised that the two noted
men were afraid of seasickness, They
said they would not suffer nausea for the
sake of showing themselves at Port Clin-
ton -,
Captain Evans was very seasick on his
trip to the island He accounts for this
by saying that the waves of the lake are
short and choppy and the boats are tossed
about indiscriminately. while on the ocean

motion is different. He is made the butt
of many jokes on account OF this weak

Schallenberger said this afternoon:

PENSION ATTORNEYS
STIR UP DISC0RD
Have Caused the Grand Army Reso-
lutions Demanding Removal of
Commissioner Evans

NEW YORK, May 1s-A Washington
special to the Herald says: The action
of the. G. A. r. encampment in Syracuse,
N Y, in passing resolution demanding
the removal of H. Clay, Evans, Commits
sioner of Pensions, following closely SINH
lar action by the G.. A. r. of Kansas, Is
causing the administration considerable
concern. Officials see the hand of the
that he is not to be despised when he be-
gins an attack upon the Pension Office
through the Grand Army.
The sole cause of complaint against
Commissioner Evans is that he is hold
ing too rigidly to the law in acting upon
applications for new and increased pen
sions, and administration officials are be-
ginning to realize that unless the Com
missioner can be induced to stretch the
law a little, so as to facilitate the settle
ment of large number of pending cases,
the pension vote may not be cast as SOL
idly for President Mckinley next year as
it was in 1886.

Judge Mayhem in the habeas corpus
cases brought to. secure the release
from prison of the Commissioners of
Shoshone County, who were arrested
after martial law was declared and

that the suspension of habeas corpus
was a right of the legislative branch
of the government rather than the ex-
ecutive, unless delegated by the former

passed. Mayhem held this to be er-
roneous.
