A REMARKABLE INSTITUTION.
Peculiar Band of Religious Enthusiasts
with MeadnnaEters In Kansas city.


with Headquarters In Kansas city.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec, 29.-Young
men and women in Kansas City are
giving up positions in stores and offices
to join a remarkable institution, which
does nothing except praise God and
preach the gospel, which relies on the
literal sending of food and clothing for
its mem bers by Divine providence.
Although this institution is new, it has
already sent out numbers of mission
aries to foreign countries, who start
out penniless and rely on the inferno
sition of God for subsistence. The idea
was propagated in Kansas and recently
grew to wonderful proportions in Kan
sas City. Now at the northwest corner
of Troost avenue and Eleventh street
commonwealth of so men and women
most of them women-receive their
daily bread, even as Elijah the
prophet was fed by the ravens at the
brook of Chedrith. They have no work
and do nothing except study the Bible
and pray. They do not know where
the next meal is to come from, but
trust that God will send it. They
believe they are commanded by God
to go forth into the world to preach
the Gospel without money ex-
cept what he sends them. Therefore
they never ask for aid or contributions,
receive no salaries and have reduced
their needs to bure food, shelter and
clothing. The Gospel Union" as it is
called, was started in Topeka on a
small scale by George S. Fisher in 1892,
was moved TO Abilene and, few
months ago, it came to Kansas City.
Since 1892 the officers of this institution
have existed without salaries and with
out asking anyone for anything.

THE WAR In CUBA.
1t Is Waged More Holly Than Ever
Since the Death of Maceo.
HAVANA GREATLY EXCITED.
La Lucha Says the Excitement in Congress
Is All Nonsense--A Feast, Inaugu-
rated by Mass, Given to
MaceO's Slayer.

New York, Dec. 22.--The Suns Ha-
vana correspondent writing under date
of December 10, says: Since the death
of Gen. Maceo the war has been waged
more hotly than ever. Far from losing
their enthusiasm as the Spaniards be-
lieved they would do, the insurgents in
the provinces of Havana, Matanzas
and Pinar del Rio are fighting desper-
ately. The only person who has sur
rendered as a result of MaceO'S death.
is Or. Maxine Zertucha, who is ac-
cused by the Cubans of being traitor.
Every night the volleys from the in
surgent vanguard are heard in the sub
urbs of Havana and in the neighboring
town of Guiana bacoa. MatanZas adj
vices say the same thing is heard in
that vicinity. No mercy is to be given
to any peasant found outside the Span
ish strongholds. The order is given to
the columns to shoot on the spot every
native who does not join the Spanish
army. In Pinar del Rio the massacre
is awful. The column of Melgiuzo, es-
pecially, is distinguishing itself by its
barbarous warfare, for it is even de-
stroying the hospitals and killing the
sick and wounded.
Gen. Rivera, Maceo's successor in
Pinar del Rio, is strongly fortified in
the Sierra de Organos, the old strong
hold of Maceo. He and some 1000 men
are to the north of the trocha near
Mariel, where it is supposed that
Maceo passed. He carries with him
the dynamite cannon which he landed
when he came with the expedition of
the Three Friends Nothing positive
is known about Gen. Gomez, but the
rumor prevails in Havana that he is on
the boundary of the province OF Ma
tanZas.
The excitement against the United
States is rapidly growing. News was
received this morning of the adoption
by the committee on foreign relations
Of the Cameron resolution, which aug
fmented the excitement of the Span
iards. 1t is said that Gen. Weyler has
the governors of the forts
Of La Cabana and Moro to receiYe
exact information of the condition of
those forts and their ability to resist
in case of an attack by foreign navy.
The new forts along the line of the
Vedado have been reinforced. The
financial situation of the island is des-
perate.
A Havana Papers Charge.
HAVANA, Dec. 22.-La Lucia, in an
editorial, attacks the 'jinj in the
United States senate and in congress
and charges that senator's and con-
gressmen are selling their speeches as
merchandise. The Cuban question, it
says, is being used by the legislators
as a monetary scheme. The agitation
in both houses, it continues, is all nom
sense, as it was in the season of 1923,
the same tactics being employed then
as now.
