Clerical Element Seems Anxious
For Conflict With the
Government.
WANTS CANALAJAS' DOWNFALL
Precautionary Measures Being Taken
Demonstration That Might Cause
Disorder, Prohibited.

Madrid, July 3d. Excitement In the
capital and throughout Spain is intense
over the conflict with the vatican
which came to climax yesterday with
the decision Of Premier Canala Jas
to recall the Spanish ambassador to
the vatican.
Both the government and clerical
parties have accepted the challenge 10

by the intrusion Of Don Jaime, the ex.
He'd pretonder to the throne may. under
existing conditions easily develop as
acute features as those OF last year
Already the government is taking pre-
cautiopary measures and prohibiting
demonstrations from which the dis
order might rise
The clerical element, which has often
before won similar battles In Spain,
shows no hesitation in entering upon
the conflict and seems to have set its
aim not upon minor concessions and a
compromise acceptable TO the holy see
but upon the downfall OF Canalaias
and his cabinet and the cancellation
OF the entire program OF reform.
The Withdrawal Of the iisperial de-
cree permitting nom Catholic orEani-
cations to display the insignia ON
houses OF worship which furnishes the
ostensible cause for the conflict ana
for the severance Of diplomatic rela--
tons assumes secondary Importance.
Premier Canalajas has fixed his eyes
upon a modernization OF Spain and

AS an indication of the force of the

Prevention of tuberculosis, in a bull
letin issued recently points to the fact
that while 53.5 per cent. of the ex-
penditures for tuberculosis in 1909
were made from public resources, APP
preparations made for 1910 indicate
that over Is per cent of the money
to be spent this year will be from fed

1909, out of the $S,1SO,621.5O spent for
the prevention and treatment of tu-
berculosis, 62,750.O3 was spent

For the carrying on of state, federal

MAJOR ANDRE AND MISS SNEYD

He won quick advancement in the
army. Brave as he was handsome, he
rose rapidly to the rank of major ana
adjutant general. While serving in
this capacity, in the autumn of 1880,
when only 20 years old, he was chosen
by Sir Henry Clinton, the British com.
mander, as agent to arrange with Ben.
edict Arnold for the yielding of West
Point to the English. Arnold, angry
at injustices he had received from
congress, proposed to sell to the en-.
envy the West Point stronghold, of
which he was the commandant. Andre
was sent, under flag of truce, to make
the arrangements. The British shin
on which he went up the Hudson
river to visit Arnold was later driven
away, and when the bargain was com.
pleted, Andre was forced to return to
New York (the British headquarters)
by land.
Near Tarrytown Andre was arrested
by three American militiamen who
searched him and found the papers.
Miss Sneyd's miniature they failed to
discover. For while the militiamen
were searching him Andre managed
to hide the picture in his mouth.
He was taken to the nearest Amer.
lean garrison. There he succeeded in
sending warning to Arnold, which
enabled the latter to escape in safety
to the British lines.
The news Of Andres capture caused
a tremendous sensation. The Brit.
ish commander and Arnold both wrote
to Gen. Washington, protesting that
the young man was not spy, and beg
ging that his life be spared. But.

him to deeds of reckless daring. Here
Is the story:
Hale was Connecticut boy. His
mother died while he was very young.

married a widow who had one daugh-

who was about Nathan's own age. The

1t was but natural that they should

than. The lad was tall, handsome and
unusually clever in study and debate.
1t was arranged that he should pre-.
pare for the ministry. After he left
Yale he taught school at East Had.
dam, Conn, in order to raise funds for
his course in the theological sem.

His father was resolved that SC
promising a career should not be in

girl, even when that girl happened
to be the deacon's own lovable step

man set about his self-appointed, dis

because ne COulO not marry the
girl he loved, a London merchants
son came to America in early revolu-
tionary days, to win such fame as SOL
der as might induce his sweetheart's
parents to change their minds about
the match.
The man was John Andre. When he
was only IS he had met Miss Honora
Sneyd, pretty girl whose family was
somewhat better than his own. He
and Miss Sneyd fell in love at first
sight. Andre asked her to be his
wife. She accepted. Then came the
first and great obstacle to their happi-
ness. The young lady's parents did
not care to have their daughter marry
a bridesmaids son. They positively
forbade Honora to think further of
Andre. Tears, prayers and arguments
proved useless. The Sneyds were OBJ.
durate. The engagement was broken.
Andre was set to work in his ia
theirs counting house in London. But
the young man speedily decided that a
business life was not only too tame
for him, but that it brought him no
nearer to marrying Miss Sneyd. To
e.,.,.m drown his grief as
H1"e" well as in the
hope of making
for himself name that even the
Sneyds must respect, Andre secured
a commission in the British army and
came with his regiment to America.
Just before he sailed the lovers man
aged to steal one farewell interview.
Their parting was infinitely sad, yet
hopeful, for both believed the future
held great things for the young SOL
der. When she said good-by to Andre,
Miss Sneyd hung around his neck q
miniature portrait of herself. He
vowed to wear 1t as long as he lived.
Then the weeping girl went back
home to wait for her lovers return,
while he sailed westward to begin
his task of winning fame for her.
Almost as soon as he arrived in
America Andre began to attract atten-
ton in the British army circles. Hand
some. graceful, full Of fun. clever. and
with q peculiarly gentle charm Of
manner. he won all hearts. He was
the center Of the social life at every
garrison he visited: and q score Of
girls are said to have fallen head
over heels in love with him. Though
he was chivalrous and attentive to
every woman, he remained true to
Miss sneyd. He wrote exquisite po-
etry addressed to m unnamed won.

only his closest friends knew they

arms against their British oppressors.
Hale Joined the army as lieutenant.
The almost foolhardy courage with
which he risked his life and the skill
he showed as an officer led to his
quick promotion to captaincy. Life
held no hope for him now that he had
lost Alice, and he delighted in tax.
ing risks that would have appalled, a
less unhappy man.
Then came turn in his fortunes.
Alice Ripley's husband died. There
was no longer barrier between the
lovers. For Alice was a widow and
Independent. Nathan himself was 81.
Both had thus passed beyond the
bounds of Deacon Hale's authority.
The path to their happiness was at
last clear. They became engaged.
The date for their marriage is said
to have been set. Yet, to win honor
in his sweethearts eyes, Nathan
sought to accomplish still Drawer deeds
than before. Soon the coveted chance
for distinction came.
The American army had been forced
to abandon New York. The city was
in British hands. 1t was important
for Washington to learn the plans, for.
tfications, numbers, ETC., of the Eng
lish forces garrisoned there. So he
asked for volunteer to go to New
York in disguise and gain this in
formation for him. Nathan Hale eager
ly offered his services for the danger

snv entered New York
dressed as a sim
pie Dutch schoolmaster. He we'll knew
the peril he faced. To enter the en-
emy's lines as spy, disguised, is pun
ishable by instant death upon detec
ton. The fate of a spy is thus es
tablished by all laws of warfare. Yet
Hale was not dismayed. He went tc
New York, gathered the information
Washington wanted, and was about
to depart in safety when he was rec
ognized. He was arrested and con
demned to be hanged on the following
day. The night before his execution
he was imprisoned in greenhouse al
Fifty-first street and First avenue
There he asked for Bible. The re

a long letter of farewell to Alice. The
letter was torn up before his eyes by
