members of the Society of the Army ot
Cuba. Hon. John 2d". Thurston, the speak

the war administration of Russell A.
Alger, of whom he said:
"There have been some quibblers and
fault-finders who have sought. to charge
the Secretary with the minor mistakes
and shortcomings incident to such a great
work crowded into so short a time. But
the world knows and the country knows
and impartial history will declare that the
war administration of Russell A. Alger
stands first in the annals of recorded
time."
At a business meeting, the old society
waa legislated out of existence and a new
incorporated society was formed in ac
cordance with an act of Congress passed
a year ago. The old name was retained
and the officers were all re-elected, headed
by Major-General Shafter as president.
At the first business session today Major
A. CSharpe, eecretary-treasurer, reported

"LAPPONL"
'ROME. July 18, 4:10 A. M. After
having some sleep, the pontiff appeared
to be again rested, and required the
frequent assistance of Dr. Lapponl and
his valet. Centra.
ROME, July 18. 2:15 A. M. The pope
is now reported to be In a somewhat
quieter sleep than he had last night,
although his breathing is perhaps not
to easy.
ROME, July 17, mdnlght. The pope
tonight showed less aversion to the
nourishment offered' him. and took half
a cup of consomme, a piece ot toast
and a few sips ot old wine.
In,. these words Dr. .Lapponl. summed Up
for the Associated Press -this evening the
pontiff's condition at the end of the sec
ond week6f his. illness, in all the varying
periods of which the pontiff has scarcely
had a quieter day than this, with the re
sult that tonight's official bulletin declares
him to be a little less depressed. In the
rooming, after a night" during which
stimulants and nursing restored him to a
fairly good condition, the pope complained
of soreness due to the many days he had
passed in bed. To relieve this and to
humor him tho patient was allowed to sit
in hla armchair for a short time, with an
apparent good effect. i
The celebration of a mass in honor of
St. Leo and the pope's conversation with.
Monsignore Pifferi were the only other
incidents that relieved the tedium of the
sick-chamber today.
After tonight's examination it appears
that the liquid In the pleura appears at
about the same level, which Is marked
with a dermographic pencil on the pon
tiff's side. The physicians think the
liquid amounts to about 1200 grams. Con
sidering the physical condition of the
pope, the doctors do not believe it possible
that his "body can absorb it.
After the visit of the physicians the pope
received Cardinal Rampolla, who remained
in the sickroom only a few minutes. He
again gave the pontiff a full report of tho
prayers offered in hisVbehalf all over the
world. His holiness, raising both bandB,
said: C
"I bless all those who pray to God for
me."
In Vatican circles there Is gossiping over
the great reception given by Monsignore
Ajute at Lisbon to celebrate his elevation
to the cardlnalate,. and over the solemnity
with which Cardinal Agliardl today took
possession of his new office of vlce-chan
cellor of the church. The Associated Press
correspondent, however, learns that tho
pope himself, in his last Interview with
Cardinal Agliardl, urged the performance
of today's ceremony.
In sharp contrast with these ceremonies
arc the continuous preparations at the
"VMixan for the death of the pontiff. A
huge nplt 12 feet long, which has been
used for roasting food for the conclaves
since the time of Gregory XVL was
brought from an old storeroom today and
will be employed to roast quarters of beef
for the Isolated cardinals while they are
deliberating in the conclave over the elec
tion of a successor to Leo XIII.
Drs. Lapponl and Mazzonl absolutely
deny the statement published In the
United States that Pope Leo Is suffering
from cancer, and ridicule it as an ignorant
invention. They say they are sure that
Dr. Rossoni takes the same view.
CELEBRATES ST. LEO'S FEAST.
Pope Finds for First Time He Can
not Dress Himself.
ROME, July 17, 2:30 P. M. During tho
night, as well as throughout the morn
ing, the pope continued calmer and
his breathing was better. While he
does not want any one constantly
In the room, the pontiff rings fre
quently for trivial causes, thus showing
beyond doubt his desire for companion
ship. He has taken very frequently sips
of meat broth, alternated with half-spoonfuls
of chicken gelatin.
When asleep the pontiff appears to be
dead. His cheeks are sunken, his eyes
are hollow and his jaws are exception
ally prominent, the skin being tightly
drawn over the face. The pope appears
to retain life only In his brilliant black
eyes, though he recovered the lucidity of
his mind this morning and .gave fresh
proof of his wonderful vitality and mem
ory, saying:
"Today Is the feast of St. Leo. I have
never failed to assist at mass since, when
almost a boy. I came to Rome to par-
ticipate in the jubilee. $f Leo XII.- I wish
The pontiffs' wish was gratified by
Monsignore Mazoli, In a room adjoining
the sick chamber. After the visit of tne
doctors the pope said ho . could not stay
in bed. as it made him. restless. His limbs
were uncomfortable and-'ho felt pains all
over his body. Therefore, he wished to
go back ta, -his. qnnchalr. No objection
was made, as the doctors think that noth
ing can now do the pope -much harm, but,
very much to the popes astonishment.
he found he could hot dress himself as
he did some days- -ago, or walk to his
chair, so his ever-watchful valet clothed
him. and almost carried him to the arm
chair, the pontiff frequently thanking his
servants", and remarking that they must
be very tired.
Tho pope understands tne gravity of nis
condition and says he is ready to die, but
he does not realize the imminence of his
danger, as again demonstrated when his
confessor, Morsigncre Pifferi, asked to see
him. The pontiff, on being informed DT
the monslgnore's request, replied, some
what petulantly:
"Not now. Tell him I shall not die
without calling for him."

ROME, July 17. 9:05 X M. Dr. Mazzonl

"Excellency Tho Secretary of State

religious affiliation, occupying the highest
positions In both public and private life,
a respectful petition addressed to His Ma
jesty, the Emperor, relating to the condi
tion of the Jews In Russia and running as
I follows:
"To His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor
of Russia Cruel outrages perpetrated at
jKishlnef during Easter of 1903 have ex
cited horror and reprobation throughout
OF CLEVELAND.
the world. Until Your Majesty gave spe
cial and personal directions, the local
authorities failed to maintain order or
suppress the rioting.
"The victims were Jews, and- the as
sault was the result of race and religious
prejudice.
"Rioters violated the laws of Russia.
"The local officials were derelict In tho
performance bf their duties.
"The Jews were the victims of inde-:
fensible lawlessness. These facts are
made plain by the official reports, and by
the official facts following the rioting.
"Under ordinary conditions the awful
calamity would be deolored without undue
"fear of a recurrence. But such Is not trie
case In the present Instance. Your peti
tioners aro advised that millions of Jews
Russians dwelling in Southwestern Rus
sia aro In constant dread of fresh out
breaks. They feel that ignorance, super
stition and bigotry, as exemplified by the
rioters, are ever ready to persecute them;
that the local officials, accessories thereto,
unless specially admonished, cannot be
relied on as strenuous protectors of their
peaco and security; that a public senti
ment of hostility has been engendered
against them an$ hangs over them as a
continual menace.
Driven Ont by Misery.
"Even If it bo conceded that these fears
aro to some extent exaggerated. It Is un
questionably true that they exist, that
they are not groundless, and that they
produce effects of great Importance.
"The westward migration of Russian
Jews which has proceeded for over 20
years is being stimulated by these fears,
and already that movement has beqome
so great as to overshadow in magnitude
the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, and
to rank with the exodus from Egypt.
"No estimate is possible ot the misery
suffered by the hapless Jews who feel
driven to forsake their native land, to
aever tho most sacred ties, and to wander
forth to strange countries, neither Is It
possible to estimate tho misery suffered
by those who are unwilling or unable to
leave the land of their birth; who must
part from friends and relatives who emi
grate; who remain In never-ending terror.
"Religious persecution is more sin
ful and more fatuous ' even than. war.
War is sometimes necessary, honorable
and Just: religious persecution Is never
defensible.
"The sinfulness and folly which gave
impulse to Unnecessary war received their
greatest check when Your Majesty's in
itiative resulted In an International court
of peace.
"With such an example before it, tho
civilized world cherishes the hope that
upon the same initiative there shall be
fixed In the early days of the 20th cen

liberty; that by a gracious and convinc
ing expression your Majesty will pro

your subjects, but also for the guidance
of all civilized men, that none shall suffer
in person, property, liberty, honor or life
because of his religious belief; that the
humblest subject or citizen may worship
according, to the dictates of his own con
science, and that government, whatever
its form or advances, must safeguard
these rights and immunities by the exer
cise of its powers.
