LATE BRAZILIAN NEWS.
Taking Measures to Keep Yellow
Fever From American Sailors.

Copyright, 1894, by the United Press.
RIO JANEIRO, Jan. Capt. Picking OF
the cruiser Charleston who is in command or
the American naval squadron here, has is
sued an order to the commanders OF the
vessels of the fleet instructing them to cut
of shore leave hitherto given to the sea-
men, marines and others OF the crews.
This curtailment of shore liberty is due to
the fact that the yellow fever season Is ap-
preaching and that Capt. Picking is deter
mined to keep the warships free of the DIS
ease. if possible. There is little danger OF
any one on board the warships contracting
the disease so long as shore leave is stopped.
Admiral Mello Wounded.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Herald's Mon
tevideo cable says:
1T is reported in this city that the Bra
lillian rebel, Admiral Mello, has been Sc
riously wounded, and will soon come here
in order to have his injuries attended to.
1T is surmised that a fragment of shell
must have struck him when the Aquidiban
was escaping from the harbor at Rio and
had to run the gauntlet Of the loyal forts at
the entrance. That SO long a time has
elapsed before it became generally known
is explained by his sympa thizers here as
due to his desire to conceal the fact and
have his wound treated by the ships sur
geon, but that it must have proven so stub
born as to necessitate his coming ashore at
last, but there is no authentic Information
Obtainable here as to the nature of the
wound or how he received 1t.
Mellos provisional government in De
stero: Santa Catharina, has published a
manifesto, saying that Mello and Da CANA
are freely in accord as to the ends to be
aimed at, and that both intend to maintain
the constitution and the republic"

An Officer Who Is Well Liked.
Interest in Legislation.

VALLEJO, Dec. 2, 1894.-At no time for years
has it been so difficult to obtain information In
regard to the movement OF vessels at the navy
yard as at this time. Either the Off Gals at
Washington have forgotten there is such sta
tion as the hayward at Mare Island or else
they have reached the conclusion that it is
cheaper TO Ter the vessels remain moored
alongside the quay or at some buoy than 10
have them cruising on the high seas consuming
great quantities OF coal. 1t Is, therefore, the
superstition that as there appears TO be no I'M
mediate necessity for them at any foreign sta
tion they will lie at Mare Island for a while at
least.
II was expected that the flagship Philadelphia
would have gone 10 San Francisco the latter
part OF the week, but 1t is now understood that
she will remain at the navy-yard until the lat
ter part of the week when she VIII steam down
to San Francisco and remain there about two
weeks prior to being ordered away. She is all
ready. Her electric outfit has been complet ed.
and during the past week her searchlights
were tested. III they were worked to their best
advantage, then they are not to be compared
with the lights on either the San Francisco.

DIGGING FOR BURIED GOLD,

lent authority that a large quantity of
gold was buried there at the time the
noted General Morgan made his famous
raid. The location of the gold was said to
be in a narrow ravine. The position was
SO infinitely described that it was felt there
would be no difficulty in finding it. He
at once began his search, which has con-
tinued until the present time. They work
only at night, and of late nearly every
night the party may be seen vending its
way to the ravine TO dig all night long. A
great many people scorn the reports OF
there being any money buried there. but
these men have something 10 satisfy them
beyond a doubt that it is there and that

AT TRINITY CHURCH.
interesting Sermon on the Inspira-
ton of Christian Activity.


Yesterday was Advent Sunday, the be-
ginning OF the ecclesiastical year, and
being also the first Sunday in the month
it was the regular communion Sunday in
Trinity Church, and very large number
availed themselves of the opportunity to
receive the holy emblem of the LORD S
body and blood.
A very pleasant feature of the service
Yesterday morning was that the Rev. W.
II. Moreland, rector of ST. Luke's, whose
church is closed for repairs, was vested
and in the chancel assisting the rector,
the Rev. George Edward Walk. A large
mum Der of ST. Luke's parishioners were
also noticed in the congregation. The
rector preached discourse appropriate to
the Advent season, from the text, Come
and See," st. John :39.
He said: when the voice of st. John
the Baptist was heard in the wilderness
sounding the warning, Repent ye, for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand the Phari-
sees became anxious to know who ne
claimed to be. They sent men to inquire
whether he was the Christ or not He an
swered: NO, am OF the Christ, but there
standeth one among you whom We know
not who is preferred before me, whose
shoe latchet am not worthy to unloosen.'
The next day be sees Jesus coming toward
hold the lamb of God which taketh away
the sin of the world. This is he whom I
said, after me cometh man who is pre-
ferred before me-
she tells them that be had seen the
Holy Ghost descending from heaven Ike
a dove, and it abode upon him. That this
was the sign from heaven that bears
record that this was the Son of God. The
result of this testimony of St. John the
Baptist was the fact that Andrew and
Peter and Philip and Nathaniel and John
sought the dwelling place of the Lord, and
ever after became his disciples. The same
power that drew men to Jesus eighteen
centuries ago has the same efficacy to-day
to redeem the sous OF men. 1t was per-
feet then, it remains the same to-day The
closer our walk with Jesus the stronger
will be our faith in him. The more we
know of his spotless life the greater will
be our faith in his divinity.
"We may take his image into our hearts
and make him the supreme object of our
affections. AS we grow in the knowledge
OF the truth, we will grow in favor with
God and man. and we will grow in faith.
The closer our walk with Jesus the more
unselfsh we will become, aud the more de-
voted we will be to the cause of our mas
ter
/. mo man can sincerely and honestly
study the life of the man Of NaZareth
without the unsel6shness of that blessed
life taking possession of him. The church

He is still saying TO all who seek that
dwelling place. Come and see.' He is

name, therefore. of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, lot us from this Advent sea-
son dedicate our bodies. souls and spirits
to the work of winning souls to the mas
ter's cause.
Let the invitations ever be on our lips.

OUR SABBATH DAY
Compared With That of
the Continent.
Rev. George Edward Walk Dis
courses on Advent Sunday at
Trinity Church.

Rev. A. G. Hirst, DID,, Of Simpson
tinental Sabbath for this country. He
delivered an able sermon last evening in
which he set forth his reasons for this
view of the subjec;. "Shal We Have
Continental Sunday or What?" He con-
sidered the subject from religious stand
point almost exclusively. The text was
from Isaiah lviii :14-15: "If thou turn away
thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day shall
cause thee to ride on the high places of
the earth" etc.
After a few Introductory remarks the
speaker proceeded to discuss the charge
that our Government is worse than those
of Europe. eve have abuses, so have
they; they have more law less liberty :;
more order. less execution of real justice
toward the individual citizen; we have
pOrations, our heartless demagogues; they
their bloody factions and cnmmunes and
nihlists; we have New York, Chicago
and San Francisco. that can give their
quotas of murders, crimes and suicides,
but they have a Paris that daZzIes the
world with its fashions,that cares little Tor
the sapctity Of the marriage vows.
LAS a nation we are Sabbath-keepers,
because we have not forgotten Isaiah's God
and the promise he made to the pa RI
archs. Because Of this we present the
broadcast plane of manhood on the globe.
''If it should be put 10 a popular vote as
to whether this Sabbath were TO be
blotted out. there would be a tremendous
majority against 1t.
"Ihis Sabbath sanctity is so closely in
terwoven with the security OF our dOmes-
tic happiness and the administration of
justice that we should view with alarm
any encroachment that means harm to
this custom so dear to this republic. Take
the moral obligation out of the Sabbath
and it becomes but.a football for the cap
rice and avarice of men. The question OF
working on the Sabbath has already be-
come test of service in this city,"
Continuing, lie said that the Sabbath
with secular amusaments was one of the
greatest dangers threatening this city.
This was the reason for the empty pews in
churches.
The speaker declared that the reason
Paris was as licked as it Is to-day was
because OF its dissertation of the Sabbath.
He believed that while attention should
be paid to rest and recreation God had a
claim of reverence, anu it should be shown
in Acknowledgements of bis law. In con-
cIusion the speaker prayed that the people
might see the awful danger from a CONT
mental Sunday and be saved from it.
