The Schley- Sampson controversy will
be given an airing before the board of
inquiry at Washington beginning Sept.
-. Admiral Sampson is reported as
being i'll and it is said that unless his
condition improves materially he may
not be able to appear in person at the
trial. 1t is hoped that such will not
be the case, as without SIMPSONS evil
dence the board would find it next to
impossible to reach satisfactory YER
diet. Many are of the opinion that the
admiral, knowing the weakness Of his
position, breads the Investigation ana
is fearful of the result.

his ability and intelligence is not con-
fined to the words of clergymen.
Throughout Spain, Italy and France I
conversed with men Of large expert
ence, and factors in the government
of nations, who stated that they be-
held in the person of Archbishop Ire
land the providential man Of the pres
ent time. In the church he is of course
highly honored and respected.
SIN my audience with the Pope
who, by the way, apparently is en-
dowed with the same vigor he pos
sessed ten years ago-there were pres
ent Cardinal Rampolla, secretary of
state, and the cardinal project of the
propaganda. When l told them 1 was
from the archbishopric of st. Paul,
the Pope at once exclaimed, oh, my
dear Ireland This was not diplo-
matte utterance. 1t came with the ut
most sincerity from the holy father and
his assistants as well.
Il visited Ireland for the first time.
There seems to be an era of prosperity
in the little island. Interest has been
aroused among the wealthy inhabi-
tants, and children are being educated
in the science of agriculture. That
which struck me most forcibly was
the effort made to encourage home pro-
duction."
What Father Keane says in regard
to the feeling in Spain as to the Phil
ippine Islands is but another vertical
ton of the oft-expressed opinion of
the Irish Standard that the admins
tration at Washington was badly bun
coed in all it's dealings with the Span
ish government, concerning these pos
sessions. Is it any wonder that pre-
mier Sagasta danced Spanish reel
when he succeeded in closing the deal
by which the government of the United
States agreed to pay and did pay
$2O,OOO,O0O for the incubus which
Spain had been carrying for years?

THH IRIsH IN EDWARDS ARMY.

1t is 4 source of regret and humilia-
ton to patriotic Irishmen that so many
sons of Erin joined the British ma
raudcrs in South Africa to deprive the
! Beers of their liberty. 1t is agreeable
| to note that during the past year the
| youth Of Ireland have not taken the
Saxon shilling and that they prefer
| emigration to enlistment in King Ed
wards army. The Irishmel who were
in the service before the outbreak Of
the EngliSh-Bocr war were sent to
South Africa and are now fertilZing
the soil of the veldts with their bones
In the first year of the war they suf-
fcrcd heavily from Buffers and Meth
uen'S laundering. SO did the Scotch
ana the result is that the Celts are now
seldom heard Of in war dispatches.
They were pushed to the front to
become targets for the burghers while
the English were kept to the rear be-
The Cclts are dead and the Saxons are
alive and that largely accounts for the
prolongation of the war.
What kind of Irish are they who
enlist in the British army? That
question is answered by contcmpo-
rary as follows:
Here and there decent Irishman,
through misfortune or hardship, joins
the English army. but the general
body of recruits are drafted from the
idle and criminal classes of our people
The sons of the poor have few chances
in Ireland. No work and no money is,
alas. too often the lot of the young
man. He drifts from bad to worse.
and finally winds up in the English
army, strong in physique, but depraved
by the unfortunate surroundings of
misgovernmcnt.
Then again, whole families of boys
are cvictcd from their homes--all of
them too young to work and many Of
them mere babies. Their parents often
die of grief and shock. but the youths,
God help them. are left to the sad fate
of being brought up in an Irish poor
house, so forlorn, neglected, and half
starved that the English army, with
its bright colors and good food seems
elysium to them in comparison to their
former lives.
Gladstone said an Irish eviction was
equivalent to a sentence Of death. So
1t was-to the parents. But worse
| sentence was passed upon the children,
| which, alas, in many cases, meant
| death in this world and the next, with
life in the English army in between.
1t is from such sources, and a hun
| dred others, manufactured with malice
| aforethought by the government, that
the English army in Ireland is drawn.
AS general thing when Il member
of decent Irish family, through mis-
fortune. is inveigled into the English
army, that entire family considers it.
self disgraced, and it will spend its
last penny-sell its last possession-to
buy him out and wipe off the disgrace.
Here is case in point. We once
knew a family in Ireland consisting OF
two sons and the father and mother.
There was no work, and the family
had no food for three days. They were
starving. In desperation one of the
sons enlisted. With the Saxon shilling
he received he brought home n stone
IA pounds) Of meal. In eagerness his
mother cooked it, but when they were
seated around the table about to eat
it, sudden thought seized her. She
turned pale. "Son," she cried, I'VE took

IANIsHIHe tn BoRRs.

The British Imagined that the Beers
would cease fighting and bend their
necks to foreign yoke rather than
see their wives and children cast
adrift on the veldts to die of hunger
and exposure. In this the British were
mistaken. The Beers have kept on
lighting for liberty and manifest no
disposition to surrender. They keenly
feel the cruelties and indignities to
which their beloved ones have been
subjected by the Briton and the KAT
fir but that does not deter them from
continuing the struggle for freedom.
Under instructions from London, the
brutal Kitchener has issued a procla-
nation calling on all commandments,
field comets and leaders Of armed
bands to surrender by Sept. Is. I'm
less they submit before that date he
threatens to Danish them forever from
South Africa. That is a "brutum full
men" at which De Wet, Delarey,
Botlla and Kritzinger will only smile,
the brave generals of the two republics
will answer Kitchener's proclamation
by telling him to come and capture
them first.
A large number of the Beers have
already been banished from South
Africa by the British. Cronje and his
brave men are at ST. Helena where
the great Napoleon died in exile after
being subjected to every humiliation
by the British governor Of the island;
about 700 Beers were sent to Portugal
where they still remain, 400 of them
being confined in the citadel of Pen
iche, north of Lisbon, and 300 at Alec
baca, a few miles distant. Another
contingent of Boer prisoners, number
ing 600, were sent to India; several
hundred more to Ceylon, and another
batch to Bermuda. OF the Beers tax
en- by the British it can be truly said
that they have been widely scattered
"o'er mount, and stream, and sea-
England is the only power in Europe
that banishes those she has conquered.
In the days of Cromwell the Irish were
banished to the Barbados to work as
slaves Oh the sugar plantations, and
there is no record that any of them
ever returned home. She banlshed the
Acadians and scattered them over this
continent, and now she threatens to
Danish fourteen Boer generals and
three officials if they do not lay down
their arms within one month. what
guarantee have the Boer leaders that i'll
ease of surrender they would not be
banishcd from their own country?
IIitchcners pledge to the Beers would
turn out like Cromwell's promise to the
Irish, as related OH the first page or
the Irish Standard. No reliance can
he placed in treaty, stipulation or
pledge made by British butchers to
conquered foe.
We hope the Beers will fight to the
bitter end and never surrender, like Ma
polcon's old guard at Waterloo. Inc
British. from present indications, can
not defeat them for a year to come
England is spending $1,5OO,OOO day
in the South African war. Her sol
dicrs arc almost played out physically
and always run away at the first
glimpse of the Beers unless there are
fifteen or twenty of them to one
burgher. Some 10000 are leaving
South Africa for disability and it is said
Kitchener will be soon superseded by
another incompetent commander. OF
course the Beers will pay no attention
to this last proclamation.
