Cuban Rebels are Winning Victories.

Havana: The most serious news of
Spanish disasters received since the
outbreak of the rebellion is that the
garrisons of two towns-El Mulatato
and San Geronimo-have surrendered
and have been burned by Maxine
Gomez. Firing was constantly heard
about Puerto Principe and extraordi-
nary precautions were taken to protect
that town. Owing to restrictions upon
transmission of news only the most
meagre details of the disasters to the
Spanish arms are obtalnable. 1t is
rumored that Antonio Maceo has sue
ceeded in making his way from Santi-
ago de Cuba into the province of
Puerto Principe at the head of large
body of insurgents and it may be his
intention to join his forces with those
of Gomez and make combined attack
upon Puerto Principe.
Havana: Details reached here later
of a desperate fight between a portion
of the insurgent force under Gomez,
in the province of Puerto Principe, and
20 of the auxiliary troops of the Span
ish government known as guerillas.
The latter were surprised by the van
guard of Gomez force and nearly all
were slaughtered. Fifty rebels were
killed.

International Epworth League Convention
at Chattanooga, Tenn, Attracts "A Big
Attendance-A Sunrise Prayer Service
on Historic Lookout Mountain.
Epworth Leaguers at Chattanooga.


The second international convention
OF the Epworth League was held at
Chattanooga, Tenn, and was a mon
ster religious demonstration. The
conference formally opened in the big
tent, which had been dedicated for
the purpose, and which had a seating
capacity of 10, 600; chair provisions for
1000; reserved seats for $50 guests and
seats for 100 representatives of the
press. The huge tent was crowded at
the opening service. Bishop Gallo
way delivered the conference sermon.
A feature never before seen in meet
ing OF this size was the administration
OF the Lords supper to fully 10000
people. Undoubtedly the most inspir-
ing as well as unique feature of the
entire convention was a sunrise prayer
service on the top of historic Lookout
mountain. About $500 enthusiastic
young people started for this service
at o'clock in the morning and as they
moved up the side of the mountain
singing and shouting every soul felt
the inspiration of the occasion. Great
clouds of mist hung over the city and
the valley as the pilgrims, represent
ing almost every state of the union,
and Canada, began their devotions.
Rev. George Il. Stuart, the celebrated
evangelist who assists Sam Jones led
the meeting. AS he stood and talked
of the love of God and of the peace of
the gospel of Jesus Christ, every mind
ran back to that noted meeting of
nearly 1900 ago. The sermon on the
mount was in the hearts of all present.
In little time there was change.
The great clouds of mist rolled back
and the gray is turning into the rosy
tints of the morn. The worshipers
stand as If lost in devotion and adora-
ton. Their hearts are brought close
to the God of nature, who is so beauti-
fully and majestically revealing his
power to them. They stand silent,
and then as there peeps over the dis
tant horizon the first beams of the
great king of day, they all. as il moved
by common spirit, break forth with
the long meter doxology. Praise God,
from Whom AL Blessings Flow. 4"
They could stand it no longer. Their
pent up feelings became exuberant
and old shouts were given and hand
shakings were exchanged on all sides.
II was "A scene never TO be forgotten.
Every meeting of the convention was
crowded through the entire session
and it estimated that fully $1,000 peo-
| pie were in attendance.
