DECLARES JOAN OF ARC
CALLED ON POPE Plus X
His Holiness Said to Have Been Ex=
horted by Spirit of Heroine
to Continue His
Policy

ROME, Dec. 27.-The Italia published
a report which has caused a sensation
in ecclesiastical circles that Joan of Arc
recently appeared in a vision to the
pope and advised him solemn words of
encouragement, exhorting him to con-
tinue his present policy which she
prophesied would certainly be crowned
with triumph
It was while the pope was engaged
in devout prayer and meditation in his
private oratory Immediately after the
ceremony of reading the decree of beat
ification, that the apparition is said to
have appeared.
It was noticed that when the pope
came out of the oratory he was very
pale and for several days maintained a
marked silence.

WAR SECRETARY
REPORT IN CUBA GOVERNOR
WILL BE H0N0RED
TAFT's FRIENDSHIP MAY PUT

Chief Executive of Pearl Of Antilles
Urged for High Office in Phil
ippines, but Prefers
Portfolio

HAVANA, Dec. 27.-Now that the
actual arrangement of the plans for
the evacuation of Cuba is under way
and the latter have been submitted to
President-elect Taft for his approval
as former goVernor-ge general of Cuba,
there is q persistent report, apparently
well founded, that Mr.. Magoon is to be
given a portfolio in the next cabinet.
probably that of secretary of war
Governor Magoon is urged in some
quarters for the governorship of the
Philippines, but it is stated he will de-
cline this offer if it is made to him.
while it is claimed the cabinet position
will be acceptable.
While the name of Secretary Wright
is mentioned commonly as his own
successor, il is predicted Mr.. Wright
has higher honors in store, and the fact
that Mr.. Magoon and Mr. Taft are
strong personal friends would seem to
justify the general belief that Magoon
will get the portfolio once carried by
Taft
Mr.. Wright, it is stated here and in
Washington, probably will be given the
position of ambassador to Great
Britain.
Evacuation January
New Years day will witness the be-
ginning of the evacuation of Cuba BY
the army of pacihcation which has
been in possession of the island since
the beginning of the provisional gov
eminent October, 1906.
The first provisional regiment Of
marines, numbering about 900. which
will be among the first troops to leave
are now centering from various posts
at Camp Columbia.
About half this regiment will sail
from Havana January l on the cruiser
Prairie which arrived here Christmas
sxra 70.
The Prairie will return about the
middle of the month and embark the
remainder.
The embarkation will be effected with
as little ceremony as possible, and il Is
probable that their departure will oe
attended with as little notice as marked
their landing.
The purpose in deferring the depar-
ture of portion of the infantry until
April / has been the subject of much
discussion, but is said this WAS. agreed
upon at a conference between Governor
Magoon and President-elect Gomez.
1t is thought to be measure of pre-
caution for which not the slightest
necessity is now apparent, but it prob-
ably is for the purpose of keeping the
barracks and quarters in good order
until 1t is possible to turn over to the
Cuban authorities a model camp for o.
cupation by the new permanent arm

An event occurred at the fire which
demonstrates how little one knows when
his person and his effects are in dan
ger during the excitement. Or, stated
differently, how dangerous it is often
times to be safe, and how safe it is to
be in danger.
An aged guest of the Occidental
hotel who is spending the winter in
Los Angeles and comes from New Jer-
sey, was out enjoying the sunshine at
the time the fire began. When he tried
to return to the hotel he found himself
shut off by the fire line established by
the police The best he could do was
to stand as close to the hotel as he
could squeeze and watch the progress
of the fire.
As time heightened and the smoke in
creased in volume he became much
worked up, as the only thing he pos
sessed, aside from what was in his
room in the burning building, was what

well Effective.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 5.-George-
town adhered 10 its precedent set in at
least five of it's home games. when it
played Yale here yesterday, and gained
an early lead by tallying two runs in
the second inning.
Unfortunately, the visitors were IN
able to stand the pace, and in the third
one run foretold the result. Eli won
the game in the sixth. Two passes, a
wild pitch, and Smiths miscue tell TIE
tale.
In playing strength the teams were
evenly matched. The fielding was fast.
but ragged at times, and each OF
Georgetown's four errors figured IN
Yale's scoring. Smith was the worst
OffeUaer- Taking into account the
number of hard chances. he successfully
manipulated, his work was still above
the average.

was the star attraction in the slug lay

Macdonald made the halfway juno
tion in the third. when he drew a pass
and stole second. Courtney reached the
same station in the eighth, when he
singled and took passage for the second
relay on an error.
While Yale played mastery ball,
Georgetown was by no means out
Classed, and Cantweu's pitching was a
surprise 10 the home team. The squad
as lined up yesterday was nOticeabiy
strong in batting strength, but the
Washington twirler was a puzZler at all
stages of the game.
The work of Mess at third base was
one Of the fielding features. and Dimes
at second for Yale was equally effective.
