fellow cabinet officers. These declared

CANNOT SEND A WARSHIP
Cabinet So Decides In Response to
Application ON behalf of New
Hebrides Missionaries.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1i.--About the
only subject of popular interest discussed
in the very short cabinet meeting today
was the application of Rev. James r.
Hin, Of Cannonsburg, Pa. for govern
mental aid in protecting native Christians
In the New Hebrides Islands. The sub
ject was brought before the cabinet by
Secretary Long. TO whom the application
had been made for warship In behalf Of
the missionary interests.
The Islands lie about a thousand miles
east of Australia. and just north OF New
Caledonia. They have been under d.
vided French and British protectorats
There was a general disposition on the
part of the cabinet officers 10 do every
thing proper and possible to meet the
request Of the missionary interests, but
II was found that to send a warshfp to
this oat-of-the-way part Of the world
would require a trip Of about 1900 miles
from the nearest American station. and
the navy department has no vessels now
available for such purposes.
II was reported that French and Brit
ish giinboats patrol these seas. and doubt
less would seek TO prevent any such at
tack upon native Christians as Is said
to have been planned.

Results from bilious habit of the

sought them in the sacred name otpro-
lection to save them. And the com
mittee yielded to the extent of propos-
inc that instead of allowing Porto Ri

should pay 25 per cent of the ordinary

to be wabbling between his message
