START AGITATION
FOR ANNEXATION
NATIVE COSTA RlcANS WANT
COUNTRY BROUGHT UNDER
PROTECTION OF UNCLE SAM
AS PROTECTION FROM WARS.

New Orleans, March 24.-Native Costa
Ricans have started an agitation in favor
of annexation to the United States as a
relief from the wars of Central America,
according to Congressman e. F. Acheson
of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Acheson arrived
here tonight on the steamer Ellis with a
congressional party, which has been In
spectlng the Panama canal. He said that
he was in San Jose, Costa RIGA, on March
10 and 20, and was at that time informed
of the pro-American or United States agi-
tation. Pressure had been brought to
bear on Costa Rica, he said, to mix up
in the present imbroglio, and the talk of
annexation was one of the results Of
their Discrimination to do so.
He said that the natives rather than
foreigners appeared to be the leading spir-
its in this movement, and that the native
Costa Ricans are white race.
Officers of the steamer reported sight
ing the smoke of several burning towns
In Nicaragua, and of two towns in Hon.
duras while passing through the Carib-
bean sea. The steamer did not approach
closely enough to land to show whether
the fires were of very serious consequence,
or whether armed forces were in the
vicinity.
Congressman +. j. Garrett of Dresden,
Tenn. said that the Mississippi valley
congressman on the trip to Panama were
impressed with the necessity of estab lish-
ing a line of steamers out of gulf port,
possibly New Orleans, to handle the trade
of the Mississippi valley to Panama. He
said also that the congressman OF his
party found only minor details as subjects
of criticisms on the canal while the main
features of the work are progressing
! spendidly.
| They are doing the work and making
a good showing he said.
| Other congressman in the party arriving
| tonight were e. C. Ellis of Missouri, j..
| T. Robinson of Arkansas and Congress
men Broussard and Ransdell of Louisiana.
Several other congressman of the same
party returned to the United States via

The Catholic and Episcopal
Churches Thronged Yesterday

BLESSING OF THE PALMS

Yesterday was Palm Sunday. The
Catholic and Episcopal churches in and
around Birmingham were thronged and
the Catholics who were present at high
mass witnessed the ceremony of bless
ing the palms. Each carried home a
spray of the familiar southern plant. In
northern countries where palm leaves
cannot be obtained twigs from various
trees are substituted by the church.
AT st. Pauls all the masses-there we're
four-were largely attended, and there
were many communicates at the first
and second services. Owing to the length
of time required for reading the passion
the sermons were omitted. A letter from
Bishop Allen was read, in which a spe-
cial collection for the fund to educate
candidates for the priesthood was ordered
for Easter Sunday. His pastoral con-
cluded as follows:
1T is the wish of the church, wherever
possible, to have her clergy recruited from
the ranks of the faithful to whom they
are called to preach the Word. of God.
In this diocese at least, our people do not
seem to appreciate the honor conferred on
their sons by the church in elevating
them to the dignity of the priesthood.
While they are devoted to their clergy
and reverence them as the ministers of
God and the dispensers of His mysteries,
they have no ambition to have their sons
minister to the Lord. The large parishes
of the diocese should furnish sufficient
candidates for the sacred ministry. 1t
should be for us all a humiliation that
we must depend upon our brethren else
where for the anointed of the Lord to
introduce us into the spiritual life, to
train our young people in the way in
which they should walk, to sanctify us
through life and to be at our side as we
are on the threshold of eternity. The
well to do among us, the stewards of
the Lords mounty, can do nothing more
pleasing to God, nothing more beneficial
to their less favored brethren, who will
hold their memory in benediction, than
to devote SOME of their wealth to the
cause of educating young men in our
midst whom God has blest with a voca-
ton to the priesthood. How many voca-
lions are lost through the indifference of
wealthy Catholics, God alone can tell.
No one has ever grown poorer for having
given to the Lord
please read this letter at the masses
on Palm and Easter Sunday. Sincerely
wishing you, Rev. Dear Father, and your
beloved people an abundant share in the
blessings of the Risen Savior, 1 am.
Yours in Christ"

the Roman empire was supreme, natural

but the mass with US is more OF an
action than a prayer-an act of sacrifice
which the priest offers up in the name OF
Christ for the people.
THE people are, therefore. perfectly
free to follow their own special devotion
in the manner of hearing mass either
meditating on the passion and death OF
Jesus Christ, or. if they so desire 1ol-

transla lions to be found in their prayer
books. 1t would indeed be practically M
possible in some of our large churches for
the priest to be understood, even II he
did celebrate mass in English, and as a
matter of fact the liturgical laws OF the
church command that certain prayers pc
read for sake of greater reverence IN

sity for the people of our day understand
ing what the priest says than of old
when Jewish priests prayed alone in the
tabernacle at the hour of sacrifice

Americans Move Guns.

When the steamer was we'll out to sea
German military engineer superintended
the mounting of the rapid fire gune, one
of them being PLACED In the pilot house
and the other on the port side of the
vessel. Then it was that American ar
tillerymen appeared ana manned these
posts
lardo of the Honduran army boarded the
vessel, together with large number OF
men. A supply of ammunition was also
taken on at this port.
1t was found that all of the troops
could not embark at this point, and
the overflow was placed in launches which
were to be towed b. the steamer. The
Honduran steamer Ia Tumbla Joined the
Olympia here. When the other steamer
started on her journey the sea was rough
and the launches were tossed about in a
dangerous manner. Finally one these,
containing 400 Honduran soldiers, turned
turtle, all of the inmates being drowned
The remaining troops were then crowd
ed on board the steamer Soon after the
Nicaraguan fleet was sighted and orders
were given to clear the decks of the
Olympia for action. The passengers pro-
tested, but to no avail. The American
gunners took their positions. but for some
unaccountable reason the .Nicaraguan feet
drew off without attacking.
After this icident the steamer put In

Proceeds to Consumed.
The steamer then proceeded to Consum-
eel. an island off the coast of Yucatan,
where the Mexican customs officials re-
fused to clear the ship, owing to the fact
that the papers were irregular. 1t seems
that the vessel should have called at the
port of Bahia de la Ascension. The cap
tain finally asked the passengers to sign
document, saying that the port OF
Bahia was not touched owing to the fact
that an act of providence in the shape
of storm prevented.
In order to prevent further vexatious
delays the passengers consented to this
arrangement. But the customs officials
were not satisfied, and sent the ship back
She was finally sent to Vera Cruz, where
the arrect Of Captain Lores was erected,
and the steamers log seized. No mention
of the stirring incidents OF the voyage
was made In this record.
The passengers give two versions to &C
count for the actions of Captain Lores.
One of these say that he was paid S300u
for his work, and the other declares that
he was forced to act as he did by the
Honduran generals. Captain Lores Is
known among the Mexican sailors as the
"Old Sea Dog" He has been sailing
for many years on the gulf, and is one OF
the best known mariners on the east
coast. This Is not the first filibusterinG
expedition with which he has been con-
.rected During the Cuban war he at
tempted to run the blockade with pro-
visions to the insurgents.

tigation of the entire Olympia affair.

Mexico City, March 24.-Word reached
this city that Capt. Joaquin Lores of
the Mexican steamer Olympia had been
arrested at the port OF Vera Cruz by a
captain of the Mexican army on the
charge of flibustering. The order of ar
rest was issued by the judge of the dis
trict court Of Vera Cruz. Captain Lores
is now incarcerated In the military prison
at the place.
The Olympia, a Mexican trading
steamer belonging to the Compania Colo
nizatora de Yucatan, plies between the
gulf ports Of Mexico and the Atlantic
ports of Central America. On the
steamers last trip from Belize to Puerto
Cortez she put in at the latter port and
was Immediately boarded by General
Quiros of the Honduran army. The
steamer at the time was flying the Mex
lean flag and carried a number of pas
sengers, not one of whom was aware
that war had broken out between Mica
ragua and Honduras until General Quiros
and his aide proclaimed the fact.
Avoid Attacks.
During the trip down the passengers
noticed an employee of the steamship COM
pany named Ocana who boastingly de-
clared that Captain Lores was acting
under his command. The words of this
passenger seemed idle until the ship put
into Puerto Cortez, and was boarded by
General Quiros and his aides. Soon the
vessel was tied up to the pier and dur
ing the late hours of the night 600 Hon.
duran soldiers, large quantity of small
arms and $1,000 rounds of ammunition,
together with two rapid fire guns were
taken on board
During this time the Nicaraguan fleet
was lowering outside of the port, but
avoided an attack at this time. General
Quiros ordered that the ships searchlight
be vigorously used. 1t Is thought these
commander to believe that American gum
boats were in the port, and that he de-
cided not to make an attack.
When it was ascertained that the Mica
raguan fleet had withdrawn the OLYMPIA
steamed out of the harbor for the port of
Ceiba, carrying the Honduran contingent,
and at the same time flying the Mexican
flag. By this time the passengers had
got wind of the entire affair and were
thoroughly alarmed, They protested to
Captain Lores, but their appeals were
met by insults, but their appeals were
by General Ouiros. On board of the
steamer at this time were also four Hon.
duran officers, who were to be taken to
the vicinity of the port of Trujillo for
the purpose of accommodating to ascertain
whether the Ncaraguan fleet had really
captured that place
