when completed will embrace a race
track, ball park, amusement pavilion,
bath house, boat house, magnificent
hotel and many other buildings to be

NO AID FROM SPAIN.
The Spanish Cover ment has noti-
ned the vatican that it objects to TAX
ing charge at present of the archives
OF the papal nunciature at Paris, ow-
ing to the rupture of diplomatic rela
tions between France and the vatican.
Spain certainly would have accepted
the task as requested by the vatican
to do so when the nuncio at Paris,
Mgr. Lorenzelli, was recalled, as
France then could not have objec-
tion. But after the expulsion of
Mgr. Montagnini, the sec; etary Of
the nunciate, and the search of the
archives, such a step as taking charge
of the papel interests in Franz might
be regarded hostile to the french
government.

never had line fast to the Mongolia.
The Mongolia has been locked
alongside of the Manchuria.
Captain Hanabusa of the Anagawa
said last night that he was surprised
that Captain Porter did not deny the

Midway he conveyed to the officers of
the MOng Ola a willingness to help and
made elaborate arrangements to do so.
