Gen. Diaz Distressed
At Nephew's Plight
Former President Sorry for Leader of Revolt in
Mexico, but Realizes His Helpless
ness in the Matter.

Special Cable to The Washington HeraId.
Paris. Nov. 2-Gen. Porfirio Diaz Is so
deeply distressed by the latest news
from Mexico. and particularly by the I'M
minent peril OF his nephew, Gen. Feiix
Diaz. that he refuses to see any one ex-
ccpt two or three OF his intimate friends
at the Hotel Astoria. One Of these ex-

Mexican authorities in favor OF the miti-

ers in the Vera Cruz uprising. he SAID
Don Porfirio. however. realizes his
personal powerlessness in the matter.
Whatever spirit of magnanimity might
animate Presiden: Madero In the prem
ises nothing his predecessor could do or
say or hope fer could affect the case
otherwise than disa astrously. The notion
prevailing in some quarters Of Mexico
that Felix Diaz is simply puppet In the
hands Of his fllustrious uncle. In whose
interest the late revolt was fomented. is
utterly unfounded. Though Madero
doubtless appreciates the entire falsity
Of the rumor. nevertheless. 1t increases
the delicacy o. his position. and accentu-
ates the difficulty OF personal interven-
ton by Don PorfiriO.
Since he retired from the presidency,
he never has entertained an instants
thought Of returning to public life. He
is an old man, worn out, like Wolsey,
with the cares of life, and enjoying
every one of his few remaining hours OF
reposc. Sonora Diaz also Is happy to
have her distinguished husband far from
turmoil At last the general himself has
no interest in public affairs in Mexico,
except that felt by every man who loves
his country and desires its welfare. His
hope now is that if the fate Of the Vera
Cruz leaders is left in the hands OF the
Supreme Court, that high tribunal Will

VICAR HOLDS UP
ENGLISH WEDDING
Objects to Sister Of Dead Wife
Marrying Her Brother
in.law.

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald
London. Nov "A Devonshire couple
who are desirous Of getting married have
failed in their endeavor to obtain a GER
tihcate Of the publication Of the banns.
owing to the wears objections to marry
ing a man to his dead wifes sister. The
woman has for several years resided At
Ilsington a village near Newton. Devon.
and the prospective bridegroom lives at
Hanwell where he is a prominent church
worker. The banns were to have been
called on the first three Sundays in Sep
tember. both at Ilsington and Hanwell.
They were. in fact, read twice by the
vicar. the Rev. J. d. II. Patch. but he
refused to publish them for the third
time, having meanwhile ascertained the
relationship OF the parties. He told the
prospective bride he had a conscientious
objection to such a marriage taking place
in the Established Church.
Il do not suggest" said the vicar after
ward. that the woman tried to Withhold
the circumstances: in fact, she made no
secret that she intended to marry her Sis
ters widower. Every one In the village
seems to have known II except myself"
The vicar added that the man who first
told him Of the impediment was prepared
to publicly protest in the church. He
told the parties he would not call the
banns unless there was an understanding
that a certificate would not be asked for.
and that the marriage should take place
in a registry office. Upon this understand
ing being given. the vicar consented to
call the banns a third time.
The vicar says the deceased wife's SIS
ter act Of 1906 gives him power to refuse
to conduct such a marriage. He wrote to
the Bishop OF London. the Bishop of Exc
ter. and the English Church Cnicn. The
former replied that the vicar had power to
refuse to call the banns.
The prospective bride is very much dis
tressed at the Circumstance. and said
more would be heard Of the case She con-
siders the Wears action inconsistent She
said she had no UNDERSTANDING personally
in regard to the certificate.

Religion Dominant Note
Among the Maced0niQnS
People Mainly Responsible for Balkan War Allow Pas
sion for Things Spiritual to Overcome All Else,
and Much Strife Is the Result
p.ei.i Cable to The WASHINGTON Ha,ld

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, Nov. 2.-What sort of man is
the Macedonian Christian, whose exist
ence is mainly responsible for the war?
There is no easier way of getting a
headache than in trying to grapple with
the problem of the various races in
Macedonia As a matter Of fact, there is
no such thing as race there, for its
place is taken by religion"
Thus a traveller who recently toured
the Balkans said when asked to describe
the Macedonian Christian, the cause of
the war in the Balkans.
Western Europe" he continued, "stin
retains some illusions on the subject of
Christians in the Balkans. Those illu-
sons are not shared by the majority of
travellers who have come into contact
with the so-caIled defenders of the cross.
There are three forms Of Christianity
in the Balkans-the Greek Orthodox
Church, the Bulgarian 'Schismatics,' and
the Roman Church. From the numerical
point Of view, the latter communion only
plays a minor part in Balkan affairs.
Much Religious Strife.
1T is the adherents of the Greek and
Bulgarian churches who thoroughly hate
and prosecute each other. There are
Bulgars in Macedonia who belong to the
Greek Church and Serbs who belong to
the Bulgarian Church, with the result
that every Macedonian village is a hot
bed of religious strife and contention.
"A great many of the atrocities for
which the Turks have been blamed have,
as a matter of fact. been perpetrated by
some too Jealous band Of Christian re-
formers, who have tried to convert to
their own faith some stubborn village
dynamite being in great favor in the
Balkans.
There is nothing in Macedonia of the
English , spirit of religious tolerance
When a native of the Balkans sees an
other Of different faith he treats him as
an enemy who must be removed
THE Turk has been accused. probably
with Justice. Of egging on the opposing
creeds to fight each other. They need,
however. very little announcement.
Although the Macedonian would be
very much out of place in any English
church or chapel, he certainly cannot be
accused of insincerity 30 far as his re-
ligious faith Is concerned.
Even Bandits Dev0at.
He 10 very devout, and many a BAN
dit would never dream. of going out on
a raid until he had received q blessing.
Throughout the Balkans, however,
superstition il stin rife. the most notable
being that of the evil eye No person
accused OF this undesirable possession
would be allowed to remain In . village.
but would be treated as a religious leper. |

II IL alleged that an Sxpedition headed

Bell Sound has since 1906 been claimed
by British company called the North

the sound pests have been erected. on
which are fastened bronze plates. on
which the claim Is announced In Eng
fsh. Norwegian. and German b this
effect:

The claim has been respected by

But few years ago coal was discov-

worked by q Shenheld company. And
later an American company arrived upon
the scene and staked out q claim for coal
mining.
The Americans are still working thar
claim. and II 10 understood that the
shefield company has disposed Of its
rights to German mining syndicate.
Much more romantic is the history Of
the enterprise of the Northern Explora-

II was formed to take over a small syn

remote village OF Tolleshunt darcy. in
Essex. Here lived Rev. NJ Gardner. the

retired traveller. mining engineer. and
Klondike gold-seeker. Mr. Mansfield had
heard Of gold in Spitzbergen. and b and
the clergyman and the doctor talked II

Not long afterward the rector set out
for Spitzbergen and brought back to the
Essex village specimens OF quartz. rock.
and pay" gravel. The three friends met
to inspect the specimens. Mr.. Mansfield
declared that there was gold among
them, and his opinion was later con-
frmed when the specimens were tested
in London. The party formed q syndS-

out their claim.
They deposited plans OF their claim
