POPE GROWS ANXIOUS.
Head Of the Roman Catholic Church Wants
Omclal Recognition by the United
States Government

Rome, Dec. 24.-The vatican Is be-
coming more hopeful that the United
States will yield to the pope's great
desire and appoint diplomatic repre-
sentative to the vatican. So anxious
is the pope for his project that he
would be satisfied ut present with q
semi-official representative in the
hope that he would be eventually
turned into minister or ambassador.
It seems that Washington is not un-
willing to discuss the matter and the
vatican has intimated in return its de-
sire to meet American wishes in Cuba
and the Philippines and possibly Gre
ate another cardinal in the United
States.

Manila, Dec. 23.-Capt. John 8.
Parkc, Jr., with 30 men of the TWEEN
ty-first infantry, encountered 60 in
surgents last week at Alaminos, in
Laguna province. Four Of the enemy
were killed, several guns were cap
tured and their barracks was de-
stroyed.
Gen. Bell, who is in command of
the American forces in Batangas prov
ince, Luzon, has praised Lieut.. James
d. Tilford who, while scouting with
troop d of the First cavalry, routed
IN insurgent force in that province.
Lieut.. Tilford located a rebel strong
hold on top Of hill near the town
of Batangas. He surrounded the
enemy under cover of night and at-
tackled them at daylight. Their sur
prise was complete. Nineteen insur-
gents were killed while attempting
to escape. Lieut.. Tilford captured 10
rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition.
Lieut.. John D. Hartman, of the First
cavalry, during an expedition, which
lasted several days, encountered the
enemy six separate times without
losing one of his men. He destroyed
several barracks.
Two priests have been arrested in
Batangas province. They are charged
with aiding the insurgents. They
were found to have hidden behind
the altar of their church appliances
for counterfeiting money. They are
charged with manufacturing silver
dollars to pay the insurgent soldiers.
George W. Davis, commanding at
Zamboanga, island of Mindanao, has
requested that the province of Mis-
amis, Mindanao, again be placed I'M
der military control. Gen. Davis has
proof that the recently elected presi-
dente and vice councillors and the
leading men of Cagayan de Misamis
are guilty of treason in furnishing
ammunition to the insurgents within
the past month. The fiscal of the
province of Misamis is also impli-
Gated. The evidence shows that all
these men were members of the Sc
cret Katipunan society.
Gen. Chaffee, speaking with the cor
respondent here of the Associated
press on the situation in the islands,
said he considered conditions in the
Philippines to be hopeful, and that
by the end of February all the turbu-
lent provinces will have been pacified.
Gen. Chaffee excerpts the island of
Samar, however, which will probably
require some months longer. There,
the situation demands policy of
rigid starvation and the giving Of
food only to those who surrender or
who stay in the towns.

RENDERED GOV. CRANE.
Massachusetts Executive Can Succeed Gage
In the Cabinet II He Will Withdraw
from Certain Corporation.

Washington, Dec. 23.-President
Roosevelt hns offered the treasury
portfolio to Gov. w. hurry Crane, of
Massachusetts, and the latter now has
the tender under advisement. One
of the difficulties in the way Of Gov.
Cranes acceptance is understood to
be his connection with the paper COM
pany at Dalton, Mass, which fur
nishes the paper for government
notes. The paper is prepared by q
secret process and the governments
contract with the Dalton company is
q large one. Should Gov. Crane ac-
cept the treasury portfolio it is con-
sidered probable that he would dis
pose of his interest in the paper COM
pany.

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 24.-At

amounting to between $500 and 5000.
The robbery occurred just before the
men were called in for their tri-
weekly pay. Three shots were fired
at Omar Alternately and the clerks,
none of which took effect. The rob-

of the clerks was knocked down in
attempting to defend the money, but
not seriously injured.

NOW 1T is MILES.
Army Commander Reprimanded for
"Getting In" the Schley Case.
Secretary Long Uphoids tho Majority Opln-
Ion of the Court OF Inqu,ry-President
Roosevelt Demands tho Resignation
of "Historian" Maclay.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The latest
sensation in the Schley case was not
in the action of the secretary of the
navy in approving the findings Of the
court of inquiry, because that had
been expected. 1t was the appear
ance of President Roosevelt on the
scene and exercising his prerogative
as commander-in-chief of the army
and navy. He ordered the reprimand
of Lieut.. Gen. Miles by Secretary
Root and the dismissal of Edgar Stan
ton Maclay from his berth rs special
laborer in the Brooklyn naval yard.
Gen. Miles is the general command
Ing the army, and the censure i'm
posed by the presidents direction is
called forth by an interview on the
Schley court and its findings. Mr..
Maclay is the historian of the navy
whose accusations of "caitiff' con-
duct against Rear Admiral Schley
caused the rumpus which resulted in
the court of inquiry and who also
talked in violation of the regulations.
Gen. Miles was reprimanded in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the presi-
dent in a letter sent by Secretary
Root Saturday afternoon. AS mat
ter of fact Gen. Miles had two repri-
mands Saturday. The president sent
for the commander of the army and
saw him in the crowded audience
room. He asked Gen. Miles about the
interview and Gen. Miles said he had
given it. and he was exercising the
prerogatives of IN American citizen
q private citizen.
The president, in a voice loud
enough to be heard all over the room,
told Gen. Miles that he could not act
in the capacity of private citizen,
since he was commander of the army,
and that he had committed a breach
of military discipline. He spoke with
great sharpness and Gen. Miles left
the room in confusion.
Long Sides with Majority Opinion.
Washington, Dec. 2a.-Secretary
Long has disposed finally of the
Schley case so far as the navy depart
ment is concerned, by acting upon the
findings and conclusions of the court
of inquiry. He approves the findings
of fact and the opinion of the full
court; he approves the majority opin-
ion where there is difference in the
court; he holds that the court could
not have entered into consideration
of the question of command ut the
battle ut Santiago, and finally he &C.
cepts the recommendation that no
further proceedings shall be had.
The secretary also has declined the
of Rear Admiral Samp-
sons counsel to enter upon an inquiry
into the question of command and has
Rear Admiral Schley's coun-
sci of that fact rs reason for declin-
ing to hear them on that point.

Presbyterians north are not greatly

is due to the fact that few years

Chicago, proclaimed month in and
month out that the ministry was
overcrowded. The result was that
young men sought other avocations.

Senator Daniel, of Virginia, lives in
very modest style in Washington, and
has for 80 years spent nearly all Of
his money in paying off debts incurred
by a relative in the panic of 1873. The
senator was not at all bound by law
to assume the financial burden, but
did so of his own free will, and also
pays the interest on the debts.
