REIMBURSING==#HE - STATES Expenditures in Raising Volunteers for the Government. s Acting Controller @ighell Modifies a! Recent Ruling by the Auditor for the wae D riment, ps 4 Acting Controller Mitchell of the treas- ury. has rendered an important decision on the question of reimbursement of the gov- ernors of the various states for moneys ex- pended in aiding the government to raise a volunteer army. The decision modifies 4 decision made recently by Auditor Brown for the War Department. After quoting the decision of Auditor Brown Mr. Mitchell de- cides as follows: ~~ Enlisted in a Body. “The effect of the first construction by the auditor is that the governor of the state or territory ¢an be reimbursed in a sum no greater, though actually paid by him in aiding the United States to raise the volunteer army, than the pay per day pro- vided by law to a ¥olunteer soldier of the United States army. This construction does not meet with my approval.

That portion which referred to the work per- formed by matrons of regiments, and show- ing that, had the Faulkner matron bill been passed by Congress, disease would have been lessened and many deaths prevented in camps, was discussed by the president and many members of the league, and a resolution adopted that the work of this | * league be published, in pamphlet form for distribution amdng‘*senutors, represen tives and members of State legislatures urging the passage of the Faulkner bill, notwithstanding the war witp Spain ended. ‘The passage of the measur would be an official recogni work in time of war.

Condition of the Church in United States to Be Discussed—Univer- sity Directors’ Meeting. ‘The condition of the Catholic Church throughout the country will be considered the annual meeting of the archbishops the United States, which will be held at the Catholic University, this city, beginning October 11.

It is understood the archbish- ops will deal with little outside of the rou- tine affairs of the church, as there are no id, including who has come from The directors of the ge questions pending. It ig said the meeting will not deal with the questions of Catholic authority in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. So far ds Cuba and Porto Rico are concerned, They are under an established Catholic archbish- opric, which will riot be disturbed in any way. The church authority is centered at Santiago, that being the old capital of the island, two suffragans, one at Havana and anotlier ‘ind the archbishop of Santiago has Porto Rico. ~ ‘The ‘bishop at the two latter points, as well‘as the archbishop of Santiago, will re- main in control of Catholic affairs. The purpose is to avoid upheaval, such as would result from a sudden change in the govern- ig powers of the church in these quarters, and no changes will be made until they come about naturally by death or retire- ment. The Catholic authorities are expecting early word from Rome as to the new arch- bishop of Santa Fe, who takes the place of Archbishop Chapelle, now at New Or- leans. The nominations for the Santa Fe arch-. bishopric have been sent to Rome. the name selected may be outside of those on the nominating list.
