Ludlow Coming from Havana.

Washington, Nov. Brig. Gen.
Ludlow, governor of the city of Ha-
vana, cabled to-day TO the war depart
ment. stating that he would leave for
Washington to-day, and asked that ar
engagements be made to avoid detention
in quarantine in New York. The COM

derstood to involve more than usual
interest and is likely to have consider
able bearing on the question of APP

CHURCH DISSERTATION.
Private of q Minnesota Regiment Throws
Light on the Controversy Between
Archbishop Ireland and Funston.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 4.-Thomas
Campbell, late of the Thirteenth Min
nesota regiment. says the controversy
between Gen. Funston and Archbishop
Ireland regarding church dissertation
in the Philippines is based on a misun-
Outstanding of the facts He says that
he himself is Catholic and that there
was a score or more Catholics in his
company, all of whom had as many
church relics as did their Protestant
comrades. The reason, he says, is that
the Filipinos themselves had desecrated
the churches before the United States
troops came. The buildings were
looped-holed for small arms and used
as store houses and hospitals, so that
the destruction of the buildings became
a strategic necessity. The parapher-
MALTA either had to be taken away or
suffered destruction with the building.

AMERICAS DEMAND.
The United States Wants France, Germany
and Russia to Give Assurances for
an "Open Door" In China.

London. Nov. A special dispatch
from Washington asserts that the
American state department recently
asked France, Germany and Russia to
give written assurances regarding the
preservation of the ''open door'' in
China, being dissatisfied with mere oral
assurances and rejecting a proposal
that the United States should seize a
port and establish sphere of influence
in China. ''If these assurances are de-
clined," says the dispatch. 1.-THE United
States will insist upon China observing
the strict letter of the treaty giving
the United States equal rights with
other powers in China"
The Daily Chronicle, commenting
editorially upon this new departure
in American policy, which will be fully
approved in England" dilates upon
its immense Importance" and suggests
that it may affect the international
politics of Europe in a very remarka bio
degree"

It wa. q rhIng OF Beauty.

The carriage in which Gen. Freder-
lck Funston and his wife travelled from
the depot to the statehouse grounds in
Topeka was lavishly decorated in the
national colors- It was drawn by four
black horses. The leaders were draped
with the Spanish flags and were led
by men dressed in the uniform of the
Spanish army. The wheel horses were
araped with the Filipino flags and were
led by men dressed in the uniforms gem
orally worn by Tagals- The American
colors, which predominated, represent
ed the cause for which Gen. Funston had
been battling and the foreign flags rep
resented his victories. The men in uni
form represented the captives which
have been made by the doughty little
warrior. The whole affair was one of
the most pretti1y arranged and best
decorated rigs that has ever been seen
In Topeka
