Another Gable to the FigarO-The Paper's Answer fO It.

Paris, Jan. 25--The Figaro publishes this morning fresh cable from Comte Boni de Castellane to M. Rodays, its editor, to which it appends the follow ing: "Spurning with our feet the in sults we find but one thing in thie doc- ument. M. De Castellane energetically refuses any intervention of the inspec- tor of finances in his adventure. We are now enlightened respecting his de- sire for light. He seems moreover, to reproach us for the outlay of the POS francs which his dispatch cost him. This is already the commencement of confession. There cannot fail to be sur- prise that Goulds son-in-law should be some careful in money matters. This is the second time he asks for 100, ,0OO francs It needs but little to induce him to demand that we reimburse to him his 200 francs. Decidedly he cannot have grown richer just recently"
 The Figaro also prints cartoon en- titled ''The Arrival at New York" This represents customs officer searching a passenger. The official says: What is in your satchel, M Le Comte?' The passenger replies, "Ths is money I am taking to my brother-in-l law" The car toon is by M. Herman Poul.

SUBMARINE BOAT REPORTS.
Rejection of Holland Cpmpany'sP Propo.
 aitiOMs Recon m ended.


 Washington, Jan .3 Secretary Long received to-day from the board on naval construction two reports on the Holland submarine boat. The Hol- land company had offered to sell the Holland to the government for $165, ,O00; to enbody certain improvements in her and sell her for $170,Oo0, Of finally to build two new and larger boats for s170,00O each. Four of the members of the board united in a majority report favoring the rejection of the proposi- tions, based on the fact that the com pany is now a delinquent in the case of the submarine boat Plunger, on &C., count of which the government has al- ready paid $99,716, with no likelihood of her completion in the near future, If the company makes satisfactory settle ment for the Plunger then the board will be willing to build one of the larger boats, but not to purchase the Holland.
 The chief constructor Admiral Hich- born, submits minority report, de- claring that the majority did not give sufficient credit and encouragement to the enterprise of the company. He de- clares that the results obtained with the Holland were very satisfactory and that in view of the small cost of sub- marine boats, the government should accept the Holland and order two larger boats. The immediate possession of the boat in an emercency would be an ad- vantage, and her possession in the spring of 1898 Gust before the Spanish war) would have been very marked in it's effect.

AssUMpr1oNIsr FATHERS FINED.
Found Guilty of Living in France
 Without Authorization.

r. Paris, Jan. 24.-The trial of the twelve Assumptionist Fathers before the cor rectional tribunal resulted to-day in their, sentence to sixteen francs fine each and the court decreed the dissolu- ton of the order. The proceedings closd without incident.
 The trial of the Assumptionist Fa- thers began Monday. The public pros- ecutor said they were prosecuted be- cause, in violation of the law, they had been living in France for the past fifty years without the authorization of the government or the appreciation of the Holy See. It was also alleged that the fathers were involved in the so-called royalist and anti-republican conspir- acy. The imposition of merely nomi- nal fines is explained by the fact that the main object of the prosecution was not the punishment of the fathers, but the dissolution of the order, which the government had long regarded as a reactionary political association and an important financial buttress of the nationalist movement.

A lyddite battery co-operated with the other batteries and Maxims. Certainly the fire was effective, causing the enemy serious losses The Boers, however, clung desperately to their works from which they are being slowly driven. To- day the enemy fired their guns oftener also using the captured fifteen -pounders with shrapnel. Our casualties to-day were less even than those of yesterday. Fighting began at six in the morning and continued until dark, but there has been nothing like general engagement. The naval big guns assisted from Pot gieter's Drift in shelling the Boers' po- Eition

BRYAN IN JERSEY CITY.
Enthusiasm Over Silver Issue--Speaker
 Told to Dry Up.

X New York, Jan. 24.--Colonel w. J. Bryan was banquetted by the Robert Davis association at it's clubhouse in Jersey City tonight, after which he delivered a political speech in St. Mary's hall. MT. Bryan received a most hearty reception from 2,500 democrat ts, all that could possibly get in the hall, and he spoke for nearly two hours and a half upon all the topics which he has usually included in his most recent speeches-Hannaism silver, trusts and imperialism. MT. Bryan appeared somewhat surprised by the warmth of the greeting which he encountered when he walked on tho stage. For fully minute the hall resounded with cheers. This was followed by three cheers for MT. Bryan which were drowned by three cheers for Our Next President"
 When MT. Bryan in the early part of his speech said that it had been said that the silver question had been bur- jed a large part of the audience rose and drowned the voice of Mir. Bryan
 
 mentarily even after quiet came Be- fore he could proceed. one of the con- mitteemen arose and shouted We are with you, Colonel" MT. Bryan, as if recovering himself, said that he was not sure at first whether the audience was cheering because they thought the sil- yer question had been buried or because they did not believe this was the case
 Told to Dry Up,
 His remarks upon MT Hanna were exceedingly ironical and were included in that section of the speech which he devoted to trusts. He said that repub- licans had so amended the Lords Prayer that when in the morning they went through their devotional exercises they said "Oh Hanna, give us this day thy daily opinion" He had started to say something about the income tax when a voice in the audience shouted "Oh, dry up."

London, Jan. 25.-A correspondent of the Times at Modder River tele- graphing Tuesday says: '"The reports of deserters agree that the situation of the Boers at Magersfontein is becoming unbearable because the camp is in
 sanitary, enteric fever is spreading and vegetables are wanting. On the other hand the health of the British camp is satisfactory, although the ground has been exhausted by the long en- campments and the trees have been cut down by insect pest and dust storms" |"

BEATEN BY HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. John B. Cummings Probably Fa-
 tally Injured.

John B. Cummings, a carpenter who
 lives on Lafayette street, near Congress
 avenue, was arrested last night on the
 charge of breach of the peace, but it is
 probable that this charge will later be | changed to a more serious one. Last evening Dr. Baldwin of Grace hospital
 notified Captain O'Keefe of the Howard avenue police station that Mrs. Cum
 mings was at the hospital and in crit ical condition as the result of injuries
 received in beating administered by her husband. The physician informed the captain that the woman would probably not recover. Acting on this information Captain O'Keefe ordered Cummings arrest and bonds for him were refused last night.
 Cummings has been several times ar rested for drunkenness and his wife has told the police that when he, was intox- icated be frequently beat her. She never however, made any specific charge against him on this score. It is understood that about two weeks ago he came home drunk and whipped her unmercifully, kicking and pounding her shamefully. She was badly injured but kept up for several days until she was obliged to .succumb and went to Grace hospital. There she grew worse and it became evident that she was suffering from internal injuries. At midnight last night it was considered extremely doubtful as to whether or not she would survive the night The coroner was no- tified of her condition yesterday and called at the hospital and took state- ment from her. Mrs. Cummings has four children, who were cared for by neighbors last night. They will be turned over to the Organized Charities to-day.
