residing in Paris, has instituted a
prize on the lines laid down by Mr..
Nobel, though his offer is for French
men only, except in a Paris exposition

has set aside a sum to be awarded

may be double that sum.

CONDITION OF THE POPE.
Contradictory Reports Are Again
Being Industriously Circulated
In Rome.

ROME, Dec. s.-The Messageror says
DR. Mazxoni performed a slight operation
yesterday on a tumor underneath the
pontiffs arm.
The Messageror asserts that the health
of the pope has not been altogether salts
factory for some time past and he has
occasionally suffered in the part where
he was operated upon In 1898, which
caused his physicians to perform a slight
operation yesterday. 1t removed the
pain.
The pope has merely been recommended
to rest for few days, according to the
paper mentioned.
On the other hand, a semi ofiicial state
ment SAYS the popes health is perfect,
and that he continues his numerous re-
ceptions without fatigue.
The only incident, according to the
semi-official statement. was that the pope
a month ago. while examining a heavy
object. dropped II on his left toe. He
said nothing until this week, when he
told his physicians that he felt pain
in walking, and Drs. Lapponf and MAJ
zoni dressed the bruise.
The pope today is quite well, and IL Is
incorrect to say that the operation of 1898
Is giving him trouble, as only healthy
scar remains.

Excitement shown by London Press
Over His Recent Speech.

NEW YORK. Dec. GA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The English press is displaying signs OF
Increased excitement over Gen. Msrcier's
speech representing a French invasion,
and Is thereby strengthening his hand and
enabling him TO regain the prestige lost
during the Dreyfus trial. The journals
can well AFFORD to laugh at 1t. instead Of
taking II seriously, since the British gov
eminent has not shown uneasness over
the various missions OF French officers
In English ports during the last year. ---
Officers of the French army and navy
are constantly talking about the possi-
bility OF effecting landing In England
II Is their most interesting technical prob
lem. They have precise information about
the defenses OF English towns like Dover,
Portsmouth and Plymouth. also about the
military resources of ports like Liverpool
French officers were secretly occupied for
weeks last spring In preparing detailed
drawings of the fortihcations of Dover
and the defenses OF Liverpool and other
ports. and these plans were filed with the
proper departments In Paris. The Brit
ish government was aware OF these pro-
ceedings. but considered It a matter OF no
Importance.

MR.. MAY MAKES. PROTEST.
Engineer Has serious
Grievance Against Government
of Guatemala.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE state de-
partment today received formal protest
from Mr.. r. II. May, the American engi-
neer who was forcibly detained in Guate-
mala. against the proceedings of the offi-
oials there. May submits an affidavit
through S. A. Witherspoon, whom he
names as his attorney.
Mr. Wttherspoon's paper is dated at
New Orleans, December 4. May says that
he r. a citizen of Mississippi. temporarily
residing in Guatemala, where an arbitra-
ton has Just been determined In his favor
by the British minister, Mr. Jenner. After
that matter had been decided Hay left
Guatemala city and went to Port Barios,
where, on the 18th ultimo, he attempted
to embark on the steamer saltwater for
New Orleans. He had procured pass
port and had appointed an attorney OF
record, in the person of William F. Fuqua.
TO represent him in the country In any Ju-
diciaI proceedings against him.
When he May was elected from Guate-
rnala, October ", by the military authori-
ties he owed his employees ON the North
ern railroad about $4,000. Guatsmalan
money. which he was unable to bay on
account OF the failure of the Guatemalan
government to pay him $l43l5o American
son sued May and secured a writ Of de-
tention, forbidding him to leave the coun-
try until his claim was settled. May says
that article "a OF decree 27s is the only
provfso under which person can be pre-
vented from leaving the country. yet that
article permits departure when an attor-
ney of record is appointed. Mr. May says
that he was prepared with formal in
strument and presented II to the Guate-
mala officers, showing that he had APP
pointed such attorney In the person OF Mr..
Fuqua
Notwithstanding this says May. II

now detained at Guatemala
The affidavit concludes with list of
witnesses to support his statements. and
