A story current here that the pope has taken pains to express, through a let- ter from Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secretary, to Archbishop Ireland, his re- gret at his misapprehension of the policy of Bishop Keane as rector of the Catholic University and that he was deceived in regard to ft. Following this remarkable proceeding it is claimed as a great tri- | umph for the liberal Catholic party that Mgr. O'Connell, the former rector ef the American College in Rome, has been made bishop of Wilmington. Mgr. O'Connell has been out of favor ‘at the Vatican for two years past. Rev. C. F. Thomas of Baltimore had been selected to be made | bishop of Wilmington. He will now, it is | said, become vice rector of the Catholic University, and Bishop Alfred Curfis will go to Baltimore as Cardinal Gibbons’ epis: copal a: INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH. nor Quesada Says Cubans Will Not Accept Autonomy. Senor Gonzalo de Quesada, the delegate in Washington from the Cuban republic, has given out for publication a statement in answer to the President's utterance in his annual message to Congress to the effect that if Spain should offer to Cuba genuine autonomy there should be no just reason why the pacification of the island might not be effected on tnat 1 Senor Que- sada say: “The Cubans know that when Spain will be willing to give Cuba ‘genuine autonomy’ it is because Spain is lost, and she wants, by some trick or pressure, to make the Cu- bans pay the enormous Spanish debt. The Cubans are not so candid as to accept half a loaf when they can have the whole. It would be suicidal for them to accept a debt of hundreds of millions of dollars when they can commence their life as a nation free from all burdens, without obligations which would choke, if not kill entirely, for many years the prosperity of thelr island. It is better that they should starve and die | in foreign countries, giving their last mite ; to buy arms and ammunition; that they should fill the African penal colonies with physicians, lawyers and planters: it ts r they should pay their tribute of blood he plains and mountains of their native than that they should be forever crushed by financial difficulties and see the | Froduct of their labor and industry go to | pay interest on the very money which has served to keep them in bondage. And, above all, the Cubans are determined to | fall like men rather than to shamefully and cowardly renounce by entering into and ac- cepting an agreement which would mean the abandonment forever of the high ideal | of complete emancipation. ‘To all such pi jects the Cubans will respond now and al- ways with their motto—independence or death. No F ee EAR OF FILIBUSTERS. Spanish Authorities Here Say Their Cuban Patrol in Complete. The Spanish authorities here say they feel little apprehension from reported fili- bustering expeditions, owing to the thor- oughness with which the Cuban coast is be- ing patrolled by the Spanish forces. At present it Is said this patrol is so complete that no considerable force of insurgents can move without unmasking the destina- tion of an expedition, and thus giving emple time for its apprehension. Acccrding to official advices received here from Spanish sources the insurgents are in Gesperate condition since the death of Ma- ceo. It is believed also by Spanish officials that the insurgent leader La Cret is either dead or dangerously wounded. The disposal of him from the actual field of conflict is regarded as next in importance to the death of Maceo. It is pointed out py the Span- jards that the insurgent cause is one de- pending on leaders, and that the cause it- gelf will end with the disposal of the jead- ers. Close servtiny being made by officials of the circumstances under which the steamer Dauntless left Jacksonville. stated purpose of the vessel was a wreck- ing expedition, and for this’ no clearance Papers were needed. It is believed, how- ever, by the Spanish authorities that the Dauntless has gone to succor the part which firat went on the Thrée Friends, and, failing to land in Cuba, returned to .No Name Key off the Florida coast. The in- formation sent here leads to the belief that after the Dauntless has taken on board.the party at No Name Key she will. proceed: to Cuba and endeavor to carry out the ex is tion which the Three Friends failed to |NAVAL MILITIA Assistant Secretary McAdoo's Pro- posed Amendments. CHANGES SUGGESTED IN THE BILL It WillBe a Militia Battalion, Not a Reserve. THE MEASURE APPROVED Assistant Secretary McAdoo has written @ letter to Representative Robinson of Pennsylvania suggesting several amend- ments to H. R. 9567, providing for “the formation of a naval reserve battalion in the District of Columbia.” The bill provides as follows: “That in additton to the companies cf volunteer militia now authorized in the District of Columbia there may be organ- ized not more than four companies of naval militia, which shall constitute a battalion, to be known as the naval reserve battalion of the National Guard of the District cf Columbia. “Sec. 2. That the officers of the naval reserve battalion shall consist of one com- mander and a staff to consist of one ex- ecutive officer, with the rank of lieutenant commander, one adjutant, one paymaster and one surgeon, each with the rank of Heutenant, and the following petty officers: One master-at-arms, one yeoman, one apothecary and one chief bugler. “Sec. 3. That each company shall consist of one lieutenant, one junior lieutenant, twWo ersigns and not less*than two nor more than six crews, each crew to consist of not exceeding sixteen petty officers and men. “Sec. 4. Tiat the President may assign an officer cf the ravy to act as instructor ard inspector of the naval reserve bat- talion: Provided, however, That the officer so assigned shall receive no other pay than that to which his rank in the navy entitles him. “Sec. 5. That the naval reserve battalion shall be provided with such ordnance and ordnance stores, clothing, equipage and supplies as may be under the control of the Secretary of the Navy and are neces- sary for proper training, instruction and service. Such property shall be issued to the commanding general of the militia of the District of Columbia from the storcs and supplies appropriated for the use of the navy. The property so Issued shall remain and continue to be property of the United States, and shall be accounted for by the commanding general at such times and in such manner as the Secretary of the Navy may require. “Sec. 6. That the Secretary of the Navy is authorized to provide such facilities for the practical instruction of the naval re- serve battalion as he may deem expedient, and may detail such commissioned and Petty officers of the navy to assist in their instruction as he may deem proper. ‘Sec. 7. That in all matters not otherwise specially provided for the provisions of law which provide for the organization of the militia of the District of Columbia. shall apply to the naval reserve battalion. Sec. 8. That general routine of duty, dis- cipline and exercises of the naval reserve battalion and parts thereof shall conform with the laws, customs and usages of the navy as far as the same may apply, and where they do not apply then such routine of duty, discipline and exercises shall con- form to the laws governing the volunteer forces of the District of Columbia.” The Navy Department recommends the following amendments to the bill: {dn the title strike out the word ‘reserve. “Section 1, line 6: Strike out the word re- serve. ‘A naval militia and a naval reserve arc very different organizations, and the pro- posed functions of this battalion belong en- Urely to the militia, not to the reserve. “Sections 4, 5 and 6. strike out entirely. “This organization would then, as far as the Navy Department is concerned, have the Same status as other existing similar bodies ns for this were fully given in the department's last letter on this subject. Section and section 8, line Strike out in each case the word ‘reserve’ for reasons above given. “Should these amendments be adopted the Navy Department recommends that the bill be favorably reported.’ ee, IMPORTANT MEASURES. TWO The Loud Bill and the Pacifie Rail- road Funding Bill. Congress will convene tomorrow at noon after the holiday recess. Two of the most important pieces of general legislation to be acted upon at the short session have been made special orders in the House for this week, and will consume the entire week. They are the Loud bill to amend the laws relating to second-class mail mat- ter, so as to prevent the shipment of books and serial publications in connection with hewspapers at the cent per pound rate, and to cut off the newspaper sample copy 32, and the bill prepared by the Pa- * cor to fund the depts cific railroads and extend their payment for fifty years at 2 per cent. The Loud bill has already been debated one day, and under the order adopted the debate will continue Tuesday and Wed- nesday, and the bill will be brought to a vote on the latier day at 4 o'clock. The Pacific railroad bi will be up next Thursday. The general debate will continue until Friday evening, and Saturday the Dill will be open to amend- ment under the five-minute rule. The vote will be taken Monday on the bill and pend- ing amendments. The fate of the mieus- ure will deterraine whether the govern- ment will foreciose its mortgages on the Union and Central Pacific. Both the: roads have defaulied and President Cleve- land served notice, in so many words, in his message to Congress that unless some congressional action was taken immediate- 4y steps would be taken under the au- thority of the present law to protect the Sovernment's interest by foreclosure pro- ceedings. The friends of the roads realize fully that this is the last chance they will heve to accomplish the funding of the debt fer which they have striven for ten years, and they will use all their influence in its behalf. But the bill has also many bitter enemies, especially {n the west and on the Pacific coast. Mr. Powers of Ver- ment, chairman of the committee, will be its principal champion on the floor, while Mr. Sulzer of New York and Mr. Maguire of California will lead the opposition. Both sides are now figuring on a majority, and the fate of the bill ts in grave doubt. The debate is expected to be of a very lively nature, and there may be some sensational incidents. taken So ‘Transfers of Real Estate. Fifteenth st. ne. bet. A and East Cupitol sts.— Agnes M.

The chief business of the meeting was the election of officers, which resulted as fol- lows: President, Vincent F.. Howard; vice presidents, Miss Beatrice Grahame and Miss Drusa Carroll; treasurer, Miss Mary A. Ball; secretary, Miss Elizabeth Tyler, and official editor, Miss Sarah Willard Hewe. All the officers have evinced high literary talents. At the conclusion cf the business meeting, a short L ‘ary program followed. Miss Sarah Willard Howe read a short story of high merit, “A Leap Year Proposal,” and Mr. Vincent F. Howard also contributed a well-written story, “On the Veranda.” At the adjournment of the meeting the members of the club enjoyed looking at some excellent photographs of. the types of Indians and the buildings and scenery of Guatemala, Central America, which had been recently seat to Miss Howe from that country. The Capital City Club 1s doing much earnest work. ‘The holiday number of the official orga, “The Wash- ingtonian,” which has-been issued recently, contains literary poems dnd sketches of no little merit.

He. says he was on gm Sommers and worked most of the ten, weeks he was in the service in the nejghgrhood of Colonial Beach. “It was the worst-tavery I ever saw,” he said to a reporter tMfe nidrning. “The men on the boat kicked-end beat me, and once I was struck on thevkead with a hammer. For ten weeks. I worked on the boat, and $2 was all the money I got.” He said he wanted to go to Baltimore to enter complaint against the oystermen be- cause of his ill treatment, and he was furnished transportation there.

Fearson, a well-known local character, a man nearly seventy years of age, shot Ford, a young man of about nineteen years of age, early last August, death resulting in a few days. The shootiing took place at Fearson’s home, in Georgetown, Ford hay- visited the place to see a woman who ‘aid to be then living with the old man.
