The War Department has received no In
formation, official or otherwise, relative to
the reported failure Of Archbishop Cha

between Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop

church affairs in the Philippines, and that
the matter was referred to Rome for set
tlement The Secretary Of War at that
time said this matter was a question that
did not come under the operations of the
War Department In the Philippines.
According to the advices from Rome.
Archbishop Ckapelle has been discharged
from all his functions as delegate apos-
tolfc to Cuba and the Philippines. except
the explanation of portions of his report
to the Roman congregations having charge
of the matters involved He will shortly
follow Cardinal Gibbons to this country
and take up the duties of his archiepiscopal
see Of New Orleans.

MIGHT RELEASE rEGELER.
Officials OF the Navy Department Coz
sfdering the Matter.


siderinE the Matter.
officials of the Navy Department are
considering the advisabilty of temporarily
releasing from custody Robert G. Tegeler,
the coal passer, sentenced to serve term
in prison by a naval court-martial for dis
obedience of orders issued by Lieut.. Com.
mander Sherburne G. Hopkins of the Dis
trict Naval Militia At late hour this
afternoon no decision had been reached,
but Monday Assistant Secretary Nackett
will decide the matter. It is intended
however, to release Tegeler only until the
District Court Of Appeals renders de-
cision on the question of the regularity OF
the recent decision of the lower court re-
fusing writ Of habeas corpus designed to
obtain the permanent release of the con-
yfcted man.
At the office Of the judge advocate gen.
eral of the navy this morning 1t was stated
that Tegelers release would be ordered at
once during the period stated, but later in
the day 1t was announced that snag In
the proposed proceedings had been struck
In the relation to disciplinary regulations
of the navy bearing upon the subject.
Final action was therefore postponed.

Tegeler, were at the department this after
noon and consulted Acting Secretary Hack

ADVERSE TO PORTO RICO
CANNOT IMPOSE PROTECTIVE
TARIFF ON COFFEE.
Opinion of Acting Solicitor Reeve ON
the Question Rafsed by Com
missioner Degetau.

Felix A. Reeve acting solicitor of the
treasury, has rendered an opinion on the
question raised by Federico Degetau. resi-
dent commissioner from Porto Rico as to
whether customs duty Of 5 cents pound
should not be imposed on all coffees i'm
ported into Porto Rico from the United
States. Under the terms Of the Foraker
act the solicitor holds adversely to Mr..
Degetau's contentious, and In the course
of his opinion says:
''It is evident from the care with which
coffee was excluded In the Foraker act
from the free list in respect to importations
from foreign countries, and in respect to
importations from the United States during
the existence Of the Is per cent duty sys-
tem that 1t was the intention of Congress
to recognize and protect the coffee indus
try in Porto Rico. 1t can hardly be doubted
also that 1t was not the purpose OF Con-
gress that such protection SHOULD cease
upon the enactment and installation of a
local system Of taxation in Porto Rico. The
duty of cents pound oh coffee was, 1
think, distinctly protective measure. But
/ regret to say that see no escape from
stricted provision Of section 8. abolishing
all tariff duties on merchandise and ar
ticles going into Porto Rico from the
United States upon the enactment of a
duty on coffee, as well as the doty on any
other article of merchandise. This case
seems to me one of mere inadvertence on
the part of Congress. That body merely
neglected to make the exception of coffee
from the free list applicable as wen after
the adoption of the new system of taxation
as during the existence Of the Is per
centum duty system"
In the meantime the Porto Rfcans are
wrestling with the problem, and have sue
ceeded in inducing all Porto Rican import
ers to promise not to import any coffee
from Brazil or any other country. When
Congress assemblies the Porto Ricans will
undoubtedly use all the pressure available
to have some kind Of protection extended
to the coffee industry of the island. This
industry has been an important one for
years. and when Spain had possession Of
the island the planters made much money
out of coffee growing, as they had free
market in Spain in which country the peo-
pie We're fond Of Porto Rican coffee. Spain 8
markets were practically closed to the cof-
fee after the Spanish-American war. and
this country was not. accustomed to the
coffee, and SO the industry has been con-
sidearbly crippled for a long time.

BoTHA TO SURRENDER
LONDON sun HEARS THIS REPORT
FROM DURHAM.
Another Dispatch Says Kftchener Has
Gone Out to Fight With
the Beers.

LONDON, August H.-The Sun today
says it hears that the concentration of
General Botha's forces at Hondweni, on the
borders of Zululand, announced in a dis
patch from Durham last night, does not
foreshadow a fight with Botha, but his
surrender, in pursuance with an under
standing reached between General Botha
and Lord Kitchener. The Sun adds that the
government is so satisfied that the war is
virtually over that Lord Miner, now on
his way back to South Africa, has in his
pocket the draft of complete constitution
and plans for the future government of the
annexed territories.
A dispatch from Durham says: Lord
Kitchener, with strong force, Is moving
on Hondweni, on the border of Zuluiand,
where General Botha Is reported to have
concentrated 1900 Beers. An important
engagement is expected to ensue
Emnnet's command Of 500 men has rein
forced the Beers at Babango. The Beers
appear to be hemmed in. Sixty burghers
attempted. to rush British post, but were
repulsed.
Commandant Potgieter has issued a
warning that British soldiers crossing the
border will not be allowed to return with
out molestation.
The British war office has received the
following dispatch from Lord Kitchener,
dated Pretoria, August 16:
While party of nifty Of French's
scouts were proceeding to;xjoin column
near Bethesda they were Surrounded in the
hills by a superior force under Theron and
surrendered. One was killed and three
were wounded, Captain Bethlehem dan
gerously."
Lord Kitchener does not give the date,
but the casualty list indicates August 8.
Bethesda is in the southeastern part Of
Orange River Colony, formerly Orange
Free State, in the triangle formed by the
Orange and Golden rivers, It was near
Bethesda that General De Wet, when
headed off in attempt to invade Cape
Colony and hemmed in by the British un-
der General Knox. broke through the cor
don by brilliant dash and retired north
ward, successfully eluding pursuit.
Reporting upon the engagement between
Colonel Gorringe and Comn1andant krit-
Finger at Middleburg. Lord Kitchener says
that the British commander drove the
Beers north to Venterstad In confusion.
He asserts also that General Frenchs
other column in Cape Colony Is gradually
driving the enemy northward.
