MONTENEGRO RULER

Prince Rules With Strong Hand,
Yet Mingles on Intimate
Terms With People

Amid the dynastic conflicts that have
SO often set the Balkans in a blaze
there has never been any wavering in
the loyalty of the Montenegrins to their
prince. Perhaps this devotion is not
without a religious tinge. derived from
the days when the prince was vladika,
supreme head of the church as we'll as
of the state; but ii is certainly deep
ened by the character of Prince Nicho-
las, who, though he rules with a strong
hand, moves as intimately among his
subjects as any country squire among
his tenants. Also, for the Montene-
grins are democratic people. the bond
may be strengthened by the fact that

Governor General Smith Takes
Exception and Refers Matter
to Roosevelt

MANILA, Nov. 21.-Rear Admiral
Sperry addressed a letter to Governor
General Smith today. saying that it
had been decided not to grant the men
of the Atlantic battleship fleet leave
of absence during the stay OF the ships
in Manila bay. This decision. the rear
admiral says. is based on the advice
of the medical officers of the feet. as
well as his own convictions.
The letter states that the daily re-
ports of the health department show
the presence of cholera in Manila. and
that during the progress of the epi-
demic large percentage of the cases
reported were dead or moribund. show
ing that they had been concealed.
Rear Admiral Sperry then states that
the house to house inspection has been
abandoned. and claims that there is al
ways danger of a renewal and exten-
sion of the Infection from the prov
inces- The rear admiral next cites the
recent report on the cholera made by
Commissioner Worcester. condemning

POINTS OUT NECESSITY

The Letter closes by pointing out the
necessity of forbidding the landing OF
the men. as the feet is to make long
cruise in the tropics after leaving here
en- route home, besides the danger of
its personnel being liable to quaran-
tine in the Mediterranean.
Governor General Smith is communi-
eating the letter of Rear Admiral
sperry. as well as the facts in regard
to the situation. to the government at
Washington. and it is expected that
President Roosevelt will be asked to
examine into the facts and pass finally
on the matter.
The position Of Rear Admiral Sperry
is bitterly resented here. being pro-
nounced unjust, unnecessary and un-
duly timid. The health officers resumed
their house to house inspection yester-
day, and it is being continued today.

vealed.
