When questioned on the subject of the Pope's views on Americanism, Mgr. Brindle said his Holiness looks upon the domestic differences in the church in America as a sign of immense nerv- ous vitality, but as being in no way alarming. He regards the future of the church in America with hope in its unity and as being a tower of strength in the councils of the universal church. Son of A. W.

Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, ingtor M The Wash- nt of the Heral s immediately d corresp were rested a few days ago and sen- tenced to be .shot. The action of the administration was taken upon the representations.of Sen- ator Cockrell of Missouri, who had re- ved a telegram from former Gover- nor Stone setting forth the peril of the men as told by their friends in Mis- souri, and of other advices In the pos- session of the State Department. Gov- ernor Stone's telegram to Senator Cockrell simply stated that six men had been arrested, one of them being C. W. Guthr and had been sen- tenced to be shot. When the Senator presented the dis- patch to Secretary Hay to-day he urged that official to take all steps pos- sible to protect the Americans. Secretary Hay at once wired the rep- | resentatives of this Government .in Guatemala and Honduras, and then, as it was the desire of the American Charge d'Affaires at Guatemala City and at the recommendation of Senator Cockrell, he requested the Navy De- | partment to order the gunboat Machias to make an investigation. Instructions were at once sent by Secretary Long to Commander L. C. Logan, commanding the Machias, directing him to proceed promptly to Livingstone, Guatemala, and make strict investigation of all the circumstances leading up to the ar- rests. There seems to be some doubt as to the point where the men are imbris- oned, but by the time the Machias ar- rives at Livingstone the American Con- sular offices will have reported and the Machias will be within a shert run of any port along the coast. Livingstone lies on the Gulf of Amatique, not far from the Honduran frontler, and a short distance from Puerto Cortes. where the Machias was ~temporarily stationed some days ago while Com- mander- Logan investigated the mur- der of an American named Frank Pears.

Thus a malign fate seems to follow | every attempt to restore unity to the | Irish factions. The Irish party has no real chairman at predent, the election having been deferred at Dillon’s sug- gestion until after the Dublin confer- ence. If that conference fails the poss | bility of agreeing upon a chairman will | be more remote than ever. Volcano and Earthquake. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald.

The entire division under General MacArthur was engaged in the movement, the brigades being commanded by Generals H. G. Otis, Hale, Hall and Wheaton. The Nebraska and Colorado volunteer regiments encountered the first strong resistance. This was at San Franc el Monte and in the surrounding trenches. The cavalry outflanked the enemy, who broke and ran, suf- fering severe loss, but the enemy in the woods north of L.a Loma Church. The Twentieth Kansas and the Tenth Pennsylvania regiments, with the Montana Volunteers on the left, protected by the Utah Battery, advanced over the open rice fields. The enemy. strongly entrenched in the woods. kept up a steady fire until the Americans were in close quarter Then the rebels fled through the woods un- der a raking fire. It is reported that the bodies 125 dead rebels were found in hes and many more in s CO « of General Hale's brigade was soon followed by General Harri- son G. Otis’ brigade. General \\'heamn's brigade was held back to wait until the line should swing in from San Francisco del | Monte to Polo, and thus box up a large number of insurgents. The insurgents opened fire on our right and the fire was grad- | nally extended along their whole | line for two miles. Our advance was over open ground for a mile and a ‘half. The Third Artillery acting as infantry at the apex, on | which the line was to turn, got | the hardest fighting. It wasina yerfect hell during a mile and a half and lost nine per cent of its - men. One mile beyond the open the artillery reached Talighan River. The ford was defended by an insurgent blockhouse, and ieutenant Abernathy, of the Third Artillery, and some of his men swam the river and flanked the block house. Lieutenant England then crossed the ford The in- surgents fought hard. I counted twelve dead about the block-~ nouse. The Third Artillery crossed the river an hour and a half before any of .the other troops. Later the Kansas volunteers came up on our left and crossed the river under fire. They lost eight men and found twenty-seven dead. Fil- ipinos on the bank. The insur- gents stopped firing when our doctors went forward to get the Filipino wounded. On the left, toward the sea, Wheaton's brigade pounded its way through three series of insur- gent trenches, and the Oregon regiment lost at least forty men. Hale’s brigade is on the right and swinging from the right to- morrow, it hopes to surround the insurgents at Polo. The insurgents fought well, and our loss was the greatest in the campaign in proportion to the number of troops engaged.
