AS a letter from Mrs. Asa r. Allen
who is hearing lady. not a deaf mute
may have created some misapprehen-
sion in regard To the aims OF the deaf
Of Rhode Island in starting a society
Of their own, allow us to make an ex-
planation.
There Is radical difference between
the services held once month i'm Grace
church and those to be held every week
in our own society rooms. While per-
sonally We have the greatest respect
for Rev. Mr.. Soaring Of Boston, and
have no objection To his holding ser
vices for the few of our brethren who
are of the Episcopal faith, we feel that
denominational church, such as
Grace church is. does not answer the
desires OF the large majority who are
OF different faiths. our society IL
wholly non n-sectarian, so as TO appeal in
the way Of righteous living TO the good
of the greatest number. ON earth.
Jesus Christ distributed not one loaf OF
bread or one fish. but thousands OF
them 10 the multitud May we not
follow the same example,
Like Roger Williams OF old. we are
'dissenters from the established
church, only desiring the liberty OF
WOrshipping God in our own way and
by preachers OF our own choice. Is
there anything wrong about that?
ne society II fnutn more tndn re-
ligious one. 1t is "A fraternal one as
well, something which is needed by the
deaf. as they are shut off from the So
Cieties of their hearing brethren and
sisters. IL is what may be called an
evangelical church, where members OF
all faiths may unite in prayer without
any violence TO the creed in which they
have been brought up by their parents,
and a church OF one faith would not
suffice for them. In Boston. where
Rev Mr. Soaring has a church OF the
deaf. there is free Independent
church OF the deaf with a much larger
attendance. IL .Iere is need OF such a
church In Boston, surely there is a
need FOR IL i'm Providence. and we do
not believe that the generous people OF
Rhode Island viii allow such a need TO
be- crying i'm the Wilderness" but
would bee willing 10 provide IL with
shelter and comfort.
The public are cordially invited 10
the Sunday services and weekly lee
lures or sociables any time after the
opening and satisfy themselves as 60
the need OF such a society. Respect
fully. HARRY -. BABBITT,
Secretary and Manager.

REPORT OF GEN. YOUNG GIVEN
BY WAR DEPARTMENT.
Rode Entirely Around Aguinaldo's
Forces-Filipinos Throw Their
Arms Away.

Washington. May 25.-The war depart
ment has made public the report of Brig
adler General Young, commanding
provisional cavalry brigade, on his cam
paign in Northern Luzon from October
IL to January l last, during which he
rode entirely around the opposing forces
of Aguinaldo and Macarthur, distance
of about $50 miles, and harried and broke
up the fnsurgent forces so that MacAr-
thur was enabled to move forward with
out any formidable organized resistance.
General Young's command was COM
posed at various times of portions of the
Third and Fourth cavalry, the Maccab-
bee battalion of native scouts under Ma
jor Batson; the 22d, oath, 33d, S4th and
S7th infantry. This ride through the en-
emy's country was, General Young says,
accompanied by many hardships and
deal of sharp and at times exceptionally
! fierce fighting. The attack upon and
capture of San Isidro by Major Balance
and a battalion of the 22d infantry gain
/ ed special mention and high commenda-
/ tion in General YOungs report. 1t is
/ the finest and most efficient battalion
! have ever seen in the American army,
said he, "and Notwithstanding scare
/ ity and total absence of food, clothing
land shelter, did most remarkable work
! in the face of the greatest difficulty
] The town was occupied by Young's
forces only after the most stubborn at
tack and perhaps the liyellest engage
ment of the whole campaign.
4, General Young particularly mentions
the deplorable condition Of the roads and
trails.
Although there was at times stubborn
resistance by the Filipinos, the rapid and
complete manner in which they were
disposed Of at some points was most
lndicrous. Some distance from Ordane-
Ito, where General Young was received by
the natives with great rejoicing, Major
Swigert, with squadron Of the Third
cavalry, encountered at night ran an
,insurgent column 600 strong following IN
the rear of Aguinaldo's pack trains.
| "The unexpected approach" says the
report, "of the big horses with pig men men
as they galloped madly through the dust
with troopers yelling like madmen soon

as it may be, is after all, merely an in
cident in the unavoidable conditions
which exist in that country. The oppor-
tunities for crimes of a financial and
speculative character are necessarily
greater than in the ordinary walks of
life, and the marvel of it all is that
such offenses against the law and the
we'll being of the people are not more
frequent than they are. With the ex-
ception noted, the handling CT Cuban
affairs by the national administration
has been singularly successful in view
of all the entanglements and local dis
turbances and chaotic conditions in
which that island has been submerged
The attempt to make political capital out
of the Neely incident, and charge up the
crimes of a trusted official to the ma
tional administration, is not only vicious
and contemplate politics, but unworthy
the tongue of any man who is considered
big enough to sit in the senate of the
United States.
Had the Cubans so adjusted their do
mestic affairs as to ensure self-govern-
ment and the protection of property,
federal troops would have been with
drawn from the island long since and the
people left to the work assigned them.
But there has not been a moment since
the downfall of Spanish authority in
which the vested rights of property and
the lives of certain classes of it's inhab-
itants would have been safe had federal
control been withdrawn. The United
States government is pledged to the
preservation of peace and the protection
of Cuban interests until such time as
| the inha bitants Of that island shall have
established an effective government OF
their own. Having urged federal inter-
ference in the first place, to make possi-
BILE these conditions, the democratic
party has no right to critise them. The
! national administration is performing a
duty to Cuba demanded by democrats
and republicans alike, when war was de-
clared against Spain. If, in the carry
ing out of these duties, an official sub
ordinate goes wrong it is the misfortune
| of the country rather than the fault OF
| the administration itself when no breach
duct of Cuban affairs.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.

Chicago, May 24-This was day OIL
elections, attended by extremely livery
debate in the Methodist general con-
ference Agents of the eastern ana
western book concerns were named, the
elections for western agents resulting
in the retirement of DR.. Lewis Curtis
of Chicago, over whose management
of the office considerable controversy
has taken place. Following the gen
eral plan of uniformity and consoll-
dation which has prevailed throughout
the sessions, the conference today abol-
ished the office of secretary of the Ep-
worth league and refused to allow an
other secretary for the Sunday school
union. 1t did, however, reconsider its ac-
tion of week ago in abolishing addi-
tional secretaries of the various church
benevolences, so far as the Freedmen's
Aid and Southern Educational societies
were concerned. The debate resulting
in this action was quite bitter at times,
the race question being brought out
prominently and one angry delegate ac-
cused another of uttering a falsehOod.
The convention at this became involved
in apparently hopeless parliamentary
tangle and Bishop Ninde, in the after
noon session, admonished the delegates
not to turn the conference into a debat-
ing society. The general conference is
to adjourn sine die at 1890 p. M, next
Tuesday.
