The feeling among the cardinals has changed great- ly since August, 1903, and today there exists a tendency quite opposite to that which triumphed three years ago. In view of the Vatican’ s experiences with France, the cry this time will be not tor a merely religious pope, but a po litical pope; not lor a saint, but for a statesman. Even the strongest opponents of three years ago of Cardinal Rampolla now favor his election. Rampolla failed in 1903 chiefly because he was vetoed by Cardinal Pnzyna, in the name of Austria, speaking for the en tire Triple Alliance. Although Pope Pius has suppressed the right of veto abrnagted by certain powers, the reason which induced the T riple Alliance to oppose Cardinal Rampnlia still exist, and the church today is less ablo to afford displeasing the Central Empire. Consequently there are rumors ol an experiment with a foreign pope, in spite of the disfavor of the Italians. For the last four cen turies all the popes have been Italians.

Ban Francisco, Oct. 16.— Despite the energetic measures taken by the police in rounding up all ex-convicts and sus picious characters yesterday and today, the activity of the footpads and high waymen continued Several reporta of robberies and attempted hold-ups were made to the police. Carl Wilson, a laborer, was held up and robbed of $6 by two men, while walking on Rush street, near Kearney, about 10 o’ clock tonight. As the foot- pads stopped him Wilson fired a shot at them in the darkness. In their haste in searching him, the robbers overlooked the pistol which he had. Attracted by the sho*, a nightwatch- man came running up and also began shooting at cbe fleeing men. Edward Lang, a street-car conductor, reported to the police today that he was held up by two mabked men at the north end ol the Ferry building Bhortly before 12 o’ clock last night. While one of them held a pistol against Lang’ s head the other footpad went through nis pockets, and, according to OLD G IR A R D S L A V E PE N . Lang, robbed him of $60.

Hongkong, Oct. 16. — The British steamer Hankow, from Canton, was burned at 3:10 o’ clock yesterday morn ing, while lying alongside her wharf. Hunderds of Chinese passengers were COMMAND WAS ONLY TEMPORARY One Faction o f Cubans Declared Fun- ston Deserted Them in War Against Spaniards, Havana, Oct. 11.— Gtneial Frederick Funston w ill not continue in command of the American forces in Cuba. G ov ernor Taft announced tonight that he and General Funston w ill leave Havana for the United States on Saturday the battleship Louisiana. on W ith them will go Assistant Secretary of State ba con, and the affaiis of Cuba w ill be left in the hands ef Governor Magoon and General J. F. Bell. Explaining change of plans, Mr. Taft said: the burned to death and a valuable cargo was destroyed. A ll the European pas sengeis and crew were eaved. The steamer Hankow, with 2,000 Chinese passengers, men, women and children, and seven Euiopeans, and a cargo including 3,700 bales of matting, 660 bales of raw silk and 400 Dales of waste silk, arrived from Canton at 3 o’ clock and was shortly afterward moored at the wharf. H er chief officer reported to Captain Branch that the ship “ was afire. The captain then directed the chief engineer to turn on the water through the fire hoee. This was impossible for the rea son that within five minutes after the alarm was given the Hankow was ablaze fore and aft. Captain Branch then awakened the European passengers, who rushed down the gangway, the ladies in their night clothes. The crew was compelled to leave the ship, which by this tim e was a veritable furnace. Responding to signals, the British cruiser Flora and the naval dockyard distpached contingenta of engines and assistants. The floating brigades of firemen made heroic efforts to extin guish the flames, which leaped to a height of over 60 feet. The Chinese steerage paaseugets were thrown into a frightful panic. H orri fying shrieks aDd cries to save their lives were heard, but escape was im possible, ow ing to the inflammable na ture of the cargo. Hundreds were burned to death and many others jumped into the harbor and were drowned. “ General Funston was summoned on a hurry call from the Pacific coast be cause he was well acquainted with many of the insurgent chiefs here, and it was thought he could aid us, as he did greatly, in bringing the men in arms to an agreement. General Funs- ton was pat temporarily in command of the troops in Cuba merely as a conven- ence until General Bell should arrive. Generrl Funston, Mr. Bacon and m y self, with Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bacon and our secretaries, are returning to oar permanent duties." Taft’ s especial confidence in the chief of the general staff's ability to carry out the piogram the governor has in i tiated resulted in the decision to con A R IZ O N A U N IT E D . tinue him in the island.
