Som? time a so the lre-sldent fearel that the great strain he was under might overtax him, so h cabled Dewey through Secretary Irg permission to return to the 1'r.iUd Sits. The admiral declined to ft vail himself cf tills permission, and asked rrnUsion to stay, saying that In his opinion duty re-quired that he should fltdsh the task he had !c?un at Manila. The President aevepted this statement, and Dewey remains by his own wish; he Is fr-" to reti rn to the Fnited States .whenever he f iry to do m, and the department will relieve him by raided orders.

Some commeyt has Wen caused In both the War and Navy departments by the press reports from Manila that th crmy was controlling one of tho light-draught gunboats captured from the Spaniard and using It to shell out tho rebels along the Fas!g river. The reports ar that the Iguna de Hay, a small "tfnclad" gunboat, under command of Major Grant, has W-en enraged In this service and has elone vry effective work. This has been, a matter of some comment on the Navy Iepartment sldo of thf building and has been cited by certain officers as "another attempt by the armv to run an independent navy department.'' The institution of the army transrort system met with the pamq criticism from a number of naval ollicers.

NOTED PRELATE SPEAKS

AHCIIIimiOI IRELAND ON TUB TEACHINGS OF FATHER HEtKER. Ainerlcnnlm Not Inlmlcnl to the He ' ligiou Order-Qaeen Victoria's OutiuMT rontnoned. IONION, March 10. The Rome correspondent of tho D;iily Chronicle telegraphs the substance of an interview he has. had with Archbishop Ireland, In which the latter explains his attitude toward "Heckerism," and his course during the SpanishAmerican war. He describes Archbishop Ireland as having the "stern, benevolent face of An arxstle" and as " terribly in earneast," remarking that the following colloquy may be taken as a message te his friends and a reply to the misinterpretations, which, though unintentional, lie considers damaging to a great cause." The correspondent continues: "Archbishop Ireland expressed reluctance to enter upon a discussion of delicate questions which, as he observed, only time can clear up, but he said he accepted this opportunity to dispel wrong views anel to give In a nutshell the maxims considered essential to tho human working of the church. "The archbishop then proceeded in thl3 wise: 'Let me iK'gin by disconnecting the new word "He'ckerim." I knew Father Htcker well, and, like other great minds, lo had views peculiar to himself. One of theso was the direct inspiration of the Holy Ghost. This apparently daring' doctrine meant little more than that godly help is not wfntlng to these displaying initiative. I frequently told hirn he was ambiguous and would be misunderstood, and this has happened.' "Archbishop Ireland, proceeding to explain tho importance attached to the natural virtues, aid: 'We maintain, espec'ally regarding the clergy, that temperance and truthfulness, for instance, are so necessary that they cannot be replaced by any purely devotional fidelity. An intemoerate nriest sterilizes his mission. A priest who stretches f Iersonai casuistry to prevarication ana mental reserve only justhles the enemies of the church in attlrmatlons which, though latee, are heard far and wide.' "Tho archbishop then warmly protested against what he described as the groundless charge that he is Inimical to religious orders. He ald he believed there was no nobler ideal conceivable than the monastic vows, but he objected to parochial or educational encroachments of the 'regular' clergy (those identified with religious orders or bound by monastic vows; upon the 'secular clergy (those .not so identified or bound.) The episcopacy and its subhierarchy were-, ho said, the re-al foundation of ecclesiastical work. "Referring to the attempts the Jesuits had mad in 'be United States to prevent the establishment of the Catholic University at Washington, he said: 'They wanted it themselves, but the I'ope pointedly warned mo not to allow the American bishop to bo caught in their tolls. My views on this subject are Identical with the late Cardinal Manning's. To insinuate that Americanism means the tram ference of the religious orelers to the melting rot is a calumny. They hive pn.duced countless saints and .have their own exalted mission, but American Catholic l.-rn requires a priesthood deeply Imbued with natural and civic virtues.' "With reference to the war. Archbishop IrelHtio! said: T.efore it broke out I was pro-Spanish; but when hostilities commenced I forgot everything except that I was an American citizen, anointed to love and to serve my country.' '"He could sav nothing regarding the disarmament e-ongress. He might be one of two representatives, or there might be another higt.fr sedutlon. I am at the double, service, he remarked, 'of my spiritual oillce and temjioral citizenship. -lt would be Impossible to reproduce the flowing, sparkling French of the illustrious churchman whose elevation to the cardlnalate has only been adjourned by the Pope's illness." The Post's Rome correspondent says: "Since the recovery of the Pope the question of 'American l.e m' is being eagerly rediseussed. The Dope's letter to Cardinal Gibbons was prepared by Cardinal Satolli and Cardinal Camillo Mazzella (prefect of the congregation of sacred rights). loth of whom are strong enemies of Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland, and the letter was an absolute eondemnatton In the original of all American tendencies. The Pope and Carelinal RampoJla (Papal secretary of state) cut, expurgated and added to the draft until it was unrecognizable by the authors. Neither side I completely satisfied, but the real victory remains with the Americans, and it is said that the red hat will be bestowed upon Archblfhop Ireland as a mark of the Pope's approval." VICTORIA'S TRIP POSTPONED. Will Xot Stnrt for France Till Saturday on Account of n Storm. LONDON. March 9. The Queen has postponeel her departure to the south of France until Saturday next, in consequence of the storm in the channel. The postponement of her Majesty' departure is a striking Illustration of the extreme care and of the precautions with which she is surrounded, and tho enormous amount of machinery which is necessary when she travels. Instead of going in her own yacht to Chertourg, as usual, she decided to avoid the long sea trip and go from Folkstone to Roulogne-sur-Mer In a special passenger boat, which ha? ben entirely changed lor Its eighty-minute trip. All sorts of staging and platforms had been erected at Folkstone, where Rear Admiral John Fullerton. aid-de-camp of the Queen, who hos been In command rf tho royal yacht Victoria and Albert since 1S4, and a host of court officials, hive been superintending the arrangements. Two trial trips have been already made, and everything was in readiness io 10-day. At Hou-logne-sur-Mer, in addition to a large force of gendarmes and custom-house officials, two battalions of Infantry were in readiness, while the entire railroad line to Nice was guarded by soldiers, posted at intervals, supplementing the usual force of railroad employes detailed for duty In such emergencies. The French government taking unusual precautions on account of tho supposed hostility of a portion of tho people to the Queen.

De lioisdefTre. He and General Itoget are responsible for Colonel Henry's forgery and death. AH the excitement, however, will end in smoke and the pardon of Dreyfus." The Paris eorrespondent of the Dally News who secured the interview says: "There Is a curious connection between thl statement by Esterhazy and a statement made by M.

More curious than that combination was another which was popular in my American plan hotel. Ice water and buckWheat cakes were inexplicable on any gastronomic grounds.

All parties to such litigation are compelled to use paper varying in price according to the amount Involved. Major General Wilson, military governor of the department of Matanzas, has reported a case which came before the Audiencia Territorial at Matanzas city where the amount involved was $100,000 and the stamped pape-r exceeded threo hundred sheets, at 3 per sheet. The stamped paper for use in deeds and wills costs as much as J37 per sheet, and there Is a fine for neglecting to use it in the preparation of such documents. Forty-two sugar mills are now grinding in Havana province and fifty-five In tho province of Matanzas, where the capacity of the mills Is largely in excess of the crop, which is only one-third of the normal yield. A refinery at Matanzas and another at Cardenas will start shortly, and General Wilson predicts that the industry will be re-es-tahlished in three or four days.

Wisdom In Looking After Your Scnttcrcri Pictures. New York Evening Sun. "My first act upon hearing of Mrs. Blank's eleath." remarked one girl to another, "was to sit rlKht down and write that friend of hers who has been living with lur for some years to send me back all of my sister's photographs and mine. You see. Mrs. IJlank left no immediate family; her heirs and all those who would have anything to do with her possessions, were utter strangers to us. and I didn't propose to have our personal likenesses pass into any such hands. "Whv. there Is no knowing where those photographs f might have turned up. nor who might have got hold of them, and I didn't care if it did seem cold-bloode el in me, 1 meant to have them. My sister and I were very fond of Mrs. Plank; we had sent her pictures about every time we had one taken, but it wasn't a pleasant thought that anything so Intimately belonging to us should become common property. "Girls who sow their photographs broadcast among men as well as women would do well to ponder upon the possibilities that so general a bestowal can hardly fail to entail. One's liken ss. no les. than one's self. Is sure to suffer by being made too public. My advice to all girls is. first, to be careful about giving away your pictures, and. second, xo make no bones nbout having them returned to you when the particular friend to whom you gave them is no longer alive." It was an astute photographer who realized the force of the above argument to a verv profitable extent recently. The photographer had taken an ordinary cabinet photograph of a young girl in her bridal costume, which was. however, extraordinary both a a likeness and a piece of photographic art. The family of the girl were each and all delighted with the picture, a large number of copies were ordered and were distributed, though with characteristic discrimination, to many admiring friends the country over. All this last spring. This pleasant Christmas season the photonraphor mw fit to send the father of the girl a picture "upon approval." It was an enormous thing, measuring .ever so many feet, and upon being opened proved to bo the enlarged likeness done in crayon of the cabinet photograph. The work was excel lent; the charm of the original was, if anything, enhanced, but there was no getting away from the fact that never, never would the family have ordered just such a picture as that cn their own. account. Still, they decided to buy it. and for a very natural reason the knowledge that If they did tiot elo so It would le sure to grace tho walls of the photographer's place of business, where all might se. It would be a wonder, indeed, if he didn't use it as a street advertisement for the front of the shop. "Still." said the mother of the girl in telling , the Ftory, "It is to be hoped that he doesn't proceed to enlarge the photographs of all of

us In the same way, for sooner than expose ourselves to publicity we should feel compelled to buy them, and before long I'm afraid it would tankrupt us." THE TALE OF A SIUHT.

A Itelle of the Johnstown Flood Tbat Turned t p in Cuba. Washington Star. 'The tale of a shirt Is an old one and has often been told, but I have a new chapter to add to It. a chapter of my own experience in Cuba last summer." volunteered a member of an Ohio regiment to a Star reporter. "Some years ago. following cUsely upon the Johnstown flood, there was an appeal mado for clothing for those made destitute by the flood, by several charitable associations, among thtm branches of the Red Cross Society. 1 was In Cincinnati at the time, and bad Just purchased a half dozen undershirts. Upon opening the bundle on arriving at my house, my mother made a remark that I should share the shirts with some Johnstown sufferer. The Idea seemed a good one to me. and I put three of them in a box and left it at a drug store where colle-ctlons were being received for tho Johnstown sufferers. 1 wrote my name on a card and pinned It on the Inside of the sleeve of each shirt. The card I used was the business card of the drug store-. That was the last I heard of the shirts, and I had no reasen to think I would ever hear from them again. Well, time went on with Its whirligig and soon the Johnstown flood became a thing of the past and was forgotten. In the same whirligig of time war was declared against Spain, and last spring found me a soldier In an Ohio regiment. In the summer I was one of the many volunteers in Cuba, ill and about destitute of clothing, having lost mv knapsack and the stock ef underclothing it cemtalned. An agent of the Red Cross Society visited our camp hospital and distributed a quantity of underclothing that had been Fent him for distribution. "It was my fortune to receive a full suit of underclothing, which, I assure you, was very highly appreciated, for. like the others who received similar gifts. I was very badly in need of it. In trying to put on the shirt I had dilllculty in getting my arm into the sleeve?. On investigating the reason for It I found that it had been pinnexl up. Judge of my wonderment when I pulled out the card from the sleeve, the very card I had myself written and pinned there at the time of the Johnstown lloexl, nine years ago, in June, Never before was there a more striking exemplification ef casting bread upon the waters and Its return an hundred fo'd. As I read the card I thought of my sainted mother's advice to share my shirts and how I felt on doing so. Elttle did I ever think that the shirt would ever come back to me, or that I would ever welcome It as gladly as I did. IJut it came, just the same. and. from all appearances, had never Ieen opened. The Red Cross agent could not explain it' then. but later on, on his return from Ctiba and to this city, he ascertained that the Red Cross received a great quantity of clothing after they had made all the distribution necessary at Johnstown, and had stowed some of the surplus in this city. It was from this surplus that some of the clothing that was sent to our reKiment came, that is. a few of the pieces, and among the lot was my shirt returned to me, and at a time, too, when I nru-ded it as badly as any of the Johnstown sufferers ever did. What became of the shirt? Well. I wore It for several weeks, and on my return to Ohio on furlough put it away. I cam on to this cltv to attend my son's wedding, and a part of the clothing he will wear on that occasion will bo that identical shirt. And he will be as proud of it as I am." HIS SII.Vi:H-MOL!TEn RKVOLVF.R. A .Michigan Soldier' Wound and the Trouble It Occasioned. Detroit (Mich.) Journal. Charles W. Wlfr-on. of Lansing, was one of the capital city's popular militiamen when the war broke out. He left his tailor sn. and made straipht for glory and Spanish bullets. Itefore his departure a number of his friends presented him with a silvermounted revolver. Charles was proud of that revolver. lift kept the mountings polished and the whole weapon as clean as a lady's mirror. When he reached Chickamauga he seized the first opportunity to wander out into the woods all by himself with the eherlshe-d weaixin. He practiced with it. and was gleeful over Its action and accuracy. He carefully cleaned it after practice and reloaded it. While restoring It to its case he discharged It accidentally and the bullet entered one of his heels. He reached camp, but it wasn't lone before he was laid up In the hospital. His leg withered, and soon he? could put the fingers of his hand around his calf. The physicians probed for the bullet, but couldn't reach It. He was put under the influence of anesthetics twelve times, and many other times besides when he was not under th Influence of drugs his he-el was probed, but it was of no use. The strong man of 195 pounds dwindled to 12 and his friends almost gave up hope of his living. They applied for a furlough for him, but It was refused, and then they decided to send him home at any hazard. They believed he had the right to die at home. They smuggled, him out of the hospital to the station, provided him with money and sent him back. It was rank mutiny, but the boys didn't care for that. When Wilson reached Danslng he was unable to move of his own volition. Chief of Police "Jack" Sanford. an ex-mllltlaman, met him at the station. "Jack" looked at his olel friend and said: "Your superior ofTicers have telegraphed me to arrest you Immediately upon your arrival. What shall I do about it?" "I have not deserted." whispered Wilson faint lj 'The ten days are not up." "That settles it." said Jack. "I'll not arrest you." He took Wilson to a hospital, X rays wer turned on the foot, the bullet was located! and extracted. Charles was slowly on his way to recovery, though still weak, when a second telegram came to the chief of police, asking him to arrest Wilson. "Jack" is one of these extremely conscientious officers, and has made a record for himself. He went up to look at his old chum, and found him still too weak to leave bed. "I don't care." he exclaimed. "I'll not arrest you. They can all go to bltzes. They can arrest me if they want to. You Just go along, old man, and get well and don't worry." Wilson did get well. Moreover, he got his discharge, an honorable one, too. for tho Iinsing boys looked out for that, and nobody ever heard anything further of the Michigan man who had deserted. Hut the story Is told as an illustration of the inadequacy of the eoidpment supplied to the army surgeons. Doctors say that Wilson's case should be brought to the notice of the surgeon general. "WAR SOGS. One Mnn the Author of Several In the Civil Wnr. Self-Culture. "Tho Rattle Cry of Freedom." "Tramp, Tramp, the Roys are Marching," "Just Refore the Rattle. Mother." and a score of other war songs were written by Dr. Oeorse F. Root. He did more for his country by his stirring songs of freedom than he could probably have done had he shouldered the musket. It was no ordinary feeling that his appeals inspired: they came from his pen aflame with patriotic enthusiasm and never failed to inspire the sons of freedom. In the Lombard brothers were in Chicago for the purpose of holding a war-song meeting. They were anxious for a new so:i, and their need inspired Dr. Root, who straightway wrote both the words and the muic of "The- Hattle Cry of Freedom." The ink was scarcely dry before it was sung from the courthouse steps. One brother sang the verses, the other Joined in the refrain. Refore they finished a thousand voices took pert in the chorus. In the reform excitement of lC in England it became as well known there as in America. In March. lW'i. Dr. Root's son gave a war concert In Chicago. At the close an old man threaded his way to the footlights, and when he face-d the assembly the audience Instantly recognized I)h Ge-orge Root. The applause swelle-el into so great a volume thit it seemed it would never cease. The son announced that his father would sing his great war song. "The Rattle Cry of Freedom." and he desired the audience to Join in the chorus. The silver-haired veteran sar.g with spirit and enthusiasm, and more than Ave thousand voice joined in the chorus. It is remarkable that this simple composer, who has greatly enriched the psalmody of the church, should have given the cast of endurance to sons: of patriotism that flowed forth as pure patriotic fire, that, Iromethe us-like, remains a heritage of the fateful past. Sugar Beetn for Cnttle. New Castle (Ind.) Tribune. On his fine farm, east of Lewlsvllle, George R. Morris Is thoroughly testing the merits of the su$rar beet as an article of food for stock.

His royal highness, the Duke of Bavaria, also known as Dr. Karl Theodore YYittersbaeh. has lived for two months In an oasis on the northern border of the Sahara desert. He Is so Impressed with the lifc-givlns qualities of the place that he feels moved to call on all mend, rs of the royalty to hie themselves to that far-away fountarn of outh. . . In splto of his creat title and bis relationship to the leading monarchs of the earth. the duke is poor, and the fact that he has three princesses and two princes on hi hands to bring up in style is not calculate-d to aeld to the ducal equinamity. Further than that, his wife, the Duchess Marie Josepha Beatrice, is suffering from .consumption. The Gorman winters were too hard for her to bear, ami as a consequence the ducal family has l.een going to Ilgypt every November, remaining till spring. Hut the Egyptians are rapacious landlords, and they used to tax bis royal highness in a way that made his blood boll. At last lie became desperate, as ioor men will, and he resolved to find a place which would benefit his wife and cost him less money. With this idea in mind he set out on a tour of discovery that tok him into tho heart of Algeria, There he had eceaslon to observe the tine bodily and mental health enjoyed by the two and four-footed ships of the desert. That Interested the physician in htm; the ducal part of Karl Theodore was surprised pleasantly when he learned that In a near-by oasis living was almost as cheap as sand in the desert. He found the climate, water and ether condition satisfactory. So he rented at once for a term of vears the highest ground to he had in the Dlskra oasis, and there he is squatting now, like a native sheik or sultan. In a little tent city. If you want to get the Rood out of the ground, says the doe-tor-duke, you must sit on it. not tower high above it on a hotel balcony. The French call Dlskra "the Que-cn of the Oases' and have arranged for rapid steamer and railway service betwten Marsailles and rhlllppeville. the nearest port. The entire Journey to Biskra :rom France occupies only a 111 tie over forty hour Accordingto the ducal physician. Biskra s a veritable paradise for all sufferers frorr diseases of the lungs, the throat and the kidneys. Rheumatism, too, he says, cannot hold out long against the allurements of it famous sulphur spring, Hamman Salahn. Tho oasis receives its name from the river, which cuts It in two halves, a northern and a southern half. To utilize the water J much as possible the French have dug a canal, making a further partition, running1 from east to west. The canal furnishes th means for maintaining all the year around one of the most beautiful tropical gardens or parks In the world. Tiere are, besides, artesian wells in great numbers. Blkra is the starting point for all the caravans going south. Negroes. Bedouins. Berber? Moors and Tuareg form the bulk: of tho population, besides nom:tdic tribes, which occasionally camp on the outskirts. The duke's tent city consists of aT.out nity ..n .itir.ne rin rwiic and is in the midst of palms and mimosas. This household comprises enij iei ... . family.
