Mr.. CRITTENTON LEAVES
Famous Evangelist Makes His
Farewell Address.
Successful Week of Revivals
Brought TO Close at Met
rOpOlitan Church.

AT the Metropolitan NJ. L. Church last
night Charles n Crittenton and his corps
of assistant eyanSeliStS held the last or
the series of revival meetings that has
been a notable feature OF the religious eX-
erciSeS of Washington for the past two
weeks.
Every seat in the church, both in audi
torium and galleries, was filled some
time before the service began and the
aisles and the open space before the altar
rail was crowded by the time Mr.. Critten-
ton began TO speak. The great numbers
who were turned away for lack of seat
ing or standing room, showed the uni
yerSal interest that has been aroused by
these reyiyalS.
The musical program OF the evening was
in charge of the Epworth League of the
Metropolitan Church, and several of the
hymns aroused the emotions OF the CON
grcgation to the greatest display OF re-
li.ious feryor. DR.. Hugh Johnston, pastor
! Of the church, led the iiitatOry services Of
the evening. Prior to the sermon there was
a call for the converts of the meeting to
come forward and renew their pledges
of Christian life. A very large number
responded and there followed Il scene
| Of excitement and enthusiasm character
IStic of these meetings and impossible to

the evening III the style peculiar to hIfn
self and which has Eecn So successful in

by the bullets of an assassin. For, al
though the volleys which laid him and
his companions low were fired by soldiers,
they were sped by the command of the
Marquis of Ahumada, We eyIer's worthy co
adjutor lie was Iured into an ambush
by a thing-it were disgraceful To call him
a man-who thus earned the blood money
set upon the intrepid Cuban's head by
Weyler, butcher and coward in equal parts.
When word was brought him that Ahumada
wished to parIey with him respecting
cessation OF hostilities, Naceo, himself hon
5rable and higi.-ininded, never suspected
treachery, but walked into the trap set
for him.
Spain has again made good her title

Alva's reign of blood il Flanders have

the remnant Of Cubans who still dreamed
Of autonomy as a possible termination
of the strife that no faith is to be put
in any promise coming from Spanish
sources. 1t will stimulate the Cuban
patriots and their sympathizers to renewed
cxertions Better than all, il will con-
vince the world that Spain is not worthy
to be counted among nations that conduct
warfare honorably and humancly.
As Far as the United States IS concerned
ttis murder of Maceo by order Of Spain's
second in command in Cuba should be the
signal for prompt and energetic action.
There is no use in tempori1ing with gov
ernment that sanctions a deed like this
Patience ceases TO be a virtue when the
assassination of a gallant soldieris heralded
as a great military achievement and the
path Of the nstigator OF so foul deed is
strewn with roses Maceos death was the
consunlmation of Weyler's hate OF a man
in whom he recognized his superior in
everything that makes a soldier and gen
er3l 1t would be strange indeed if this
last chapter in the wretchcd history of
Spanish warfare in Cuba did not arouse so
pronounced a sentiment among the people
OF this country as TO compel the govern
