Insersollism.

The Interpretation OF Christian theology,
the idea of the nature and use OF the Bible,
which give all their seeming force to Colo

The true way to meet and overcome
Ingersoll is not TO rail at him or fly into

the enlightened view regarding this whole

Members of the Baltimore's Crew Tell
What They Have Seen.

What They Have Seen.
Letters received yesterday by mem,
bers of the crew of the cruiser New
York from correspondents on board
the flagship Baltimore. now in Chinese
waters, contained interesting facts con
corning the wal in progress in the East.
One of the letters told of the expedi-
ton to Seoul of a detachment of blue
Jackets from the Baltimore. In the
party was a negro, one of the very
blacklist. This ebony hued defender of
our flag attracted more attention from
the Coreans than all the others put TO-
gether.
They approached the African and
touched his skin gingerly, as one would
touch tresn paint, and were greatly
astonlshed when they found that none
of the black came off. Then one found
the solution of the mystery, and an
nounced in pigeon English to the others:
He all same you, only no wash him
self long time"
The letters received yesterday are
dated at Chemulpo, on Aug. "a, The
writer's say that a number Of Japanese
ships have visited that harbor, and all
have on their war paint" This means
that the vessels have been painted a
bottle green color. After a number of
tests, that color was selected as being
the least easily detected at night.
You would be surprised, says one
of the correspondents, ito see what
fine ships the Japs own. They have
two that look just like the Boston, one
that looks like the New York, two like
the San Francisco, and one that closely
resembles the Baltimore, though she is
not quite as large. There is another
which is exactly like the Charleston"
