Sejlitious Teaching.

KINGSTON, March 1.-Alexander B.
Edwards, a negro, who styles himself
a prophet, and who during last year
attracted following of over 5000 per-
sons, has been arrested by the authori-
ties on charge of sedition. In ad-
dressing his congregation recently,
Edwards, it is alleged in the most en-
phatic manner, advised his listeners to
rebel against the government and to
crush out the whites. The prisoners
arrest was accomplished as secretly as
possible. He was surprised. at his
house at midnight by a squad OF 30
policemen. and withoutany resistance
was conveyed to police station.
When the arrest was made public
great excitement prevailed among his
friends, some of whom threaten to at
tempt rescue, while others believe
that Edwards, through his own powers
can escape punishment. Edwards be-
gan operations about a year and a half
ago. He proclaimed himself proph-
ct sent by God to heal the sick. He
erected a house on the banks OF a lit
tie stream a few miles back of King
ston and invited the people to come
and bathe in the. waters he
blessed, asserting they could thus be
cured of any disease. In month his
congregation often numbers 5000 or
5000 persons and all day long the
throngs of believers might be seen
marching along the roads with bottles
or pannikins to fetch away some OF
the blessed water Others, too weak to
walk, were carried to the water by
friends.
