Local Notes of Interest From Across
Rock Creek.
Notice has been given by the committee
on church property of the West Street
Presbyterian Church that on September 1
the Presbyterian Church cemetery, between
33d and Bath, Q and r streets, will be
finally abolished. All bodies must be re-
moved by that date, and if the friends of
the deceased do not take some action the
church will attend to the removal and en-
ter them in ore grave in some cemetery.
The committee of the church in charge of
the matter is Levin s. Frey, William NJ
Dougal and H. P. Gilbert The cemetery at
the present time is in very dilapidated
condition. Many of the bodies have been
removed, in fact, almost all bodies the rela-
tives or friends of which are living Most
of the remains in the cemetery at the pres
emf time will have to be removed at the eX-
pense of the church, as no relatives of the
deceased are living. The dissertation of
the cemetery is now complete, and vandals
have carried off most of the valuable moy-
able things in the place. The wooden head
boards have been used for firewood or
fence boards, and even the bricks of some
of the tombs have been carted away.
Fire Today.
A fire was discovered this morning about
half-past 10 O'Clock in the two-story frame
dwelling at TIA 33d street, occupied by
Samuel blackman. NO alarm was turned
in because of the fact that the engines
could not be communicated with by tele-
phone in time to respond to put out the
blaze. Policeman Ward and several other
people managed to extinguish the blaze
without much damage. The fire was
started by children playing with matches.

MASSACRE TN CUBA.
Murder Of NOn-COmbatantS by
SpaniardS.
INSURGENTS VERY DARING.
They Make Successful Raids Near
Havana-Weyler lmprisons
Six Leading Citizens and
Denounces Them as
Traitors.

Advices from Havana by steamship Mas
cote give details OF massacre OF non-com-
batants by Spaniards In Matanzas Province
The butchery occurred on Las Canas sugar
estate, whose owner has been considered
friendly to the insurgents.
A few days ago General Molinas the Span"
ish commander In Matanzas, was told that
an insurgent band was encamped on the
estate. Molinas with three regiments imme-
diately marched to Las Canas, but found
that the insurgents had departed.
He was greatly enraged, and ordered the
buildings on the estate destroyed. The
troops carried out Molinas' orders In fiend-
ish manner Icy surrounded the houses
occupied by laborers and applied the torch
AS the Cubans ran out they were met by
Spanish bullets Eighteen men and four
women with children were wounded. The
bodies we're left unburied.
Mollnas was a pleased spectator OF the
butchcry and reported it to Weyler as a
GLORIOUS victory for the Spanish arms.
Molinss Is reported to have said that the Gu
bar non-combatants ought to esteem 1t an
honor to die by Spanish bullets.
The insurgents In Havana province are be-
coming very daring. Last Thursday Baldo-
nero Acosta, at the head Of 400 Cubans at
tackled the town Of San Francisco de Paul,
which Is in sight of Havana. The town was
garrisoned by 800 Spaniards, who fed to the
Cathedral when the CubaDs entered.
threat to use dynamite against the ca
thedral caused the Spaniards to surrender.
The Cubans took the arms and ammunition
OF the Spaniards, fred the town, and left.
The smoke and flames were visible In Havana.
Similar raids are being made daily all over
Havana province, the Spanish troops gener-
ally making no resistance.
In the city OF Havana Weyler has inaugu-
rated a reign of terror since he learned that
he Conservatives were plotting to bring
about his recall. In the last few days about
six Of the leading citizens Of Havana have
been arrested, taken before Weyler, who de-
nounced them as traitors, and then ordered
them confined in Moro Castle.
These arrests have caused profound SEN
sation, and 1t is predicted that Weyler's poll
cy will inevitably result in his downfall. 1t
Is limited that Weyler has brooded over his
failure to suppress the rebellion until his
reason is tottering.

The Scouts of the Sea.

Torpedo-boats, however, are assigned
for q wider service than simply to carry
and discharge the frightful weapon
from which they take their name They
nre to the navy what scouts and sklr'
mishers are to a land army. They
form the cavalry Of the sea, OF which
the cruisers are the infantry and the
battIeships and monitors the artillery
arm. They must spy out the position
of the enemys fleet, hover about his
tanks or haunt his anchorage to aScer
thin what he is about and what ne
means to do next. They must act as
the pickets OF their own fleet, patroll-
,ng the neighborhood, or waiting ana
watching. concealed among islands OF
in inlets and rivermouths, ready to has
ten away to the admiral with warning
of any movement of the enemy.
It Is not their business to fight lex

but rather to pry and sneak and run.
Hence they are as small and sleek ana
swift as they can be made. When the

although they are able to get about in
really rough weather by themselves. A
very recent idea is to build them out
of aluminium, which would be not only
of great advantage toward ease OF
transportation, but would tend toward
increased speed, by adding buoyancy
and elasticity to the structure. which
seems to skim along the surface and
fairly leap from wave to wave; but 1t
Is doubtful whether aluminium is strong
enough for safety and whether 1t will
not be injured by the chemical action OF

and common sense man will acknowledge
himself TO be a sinner. What are you going

What do you mean by the mercy or doo9

tbs gate OF mercy and knocking at the corn
crib of heavenly supply: AMI voice from
within says: Ara yon aIone?" The sinner
within says, "You shall not see my pardon
ing face unless your divine Brother, the
Lord Jesus be with YOU" Oh, that Is the
point at which 50 MANY ara discounted.
There is no mercy from God except through
Jesus Christ Coming with Him, we are &C
cepted. Coming without Him, we are re-
jeced. Peter put it right in his great SER
mon before the high priests, when he thun-
dered forth: "Nelther is there salvation IN
any other. There is no other name given
under heaven among men whereby we may
be saved" Oh, anxious sinner! Oh, dying
sinner Oh, lost sinner! all you have got to
do is to have this divine Benjamin along
with you. Side by side, coming to the gate,
all the store-houses OF heaven will swing
open before your anxious soul.
Am right in calling Jesus Benjamin? o.,
yes. Rachel livel only long enough to give
a name to that child, and with dying kiss
che called him Benoni. Afterward Jacob
changed his nams. and he called him Ben
iamin. The meaning OF the name she gave
was "Son or my Pain" The meaning OF
the name the father gave was. "Son OF my
Right Hand" AMI was not Christ the Son
of pain? All the sorrows of Rachel in that
hour when she gave her child over into tho
hands of strangers. was AS nothing compared
with the struggle Of God when He gave up
His only Son. And was not Christ appro-
priately called "Son of the Right Hand?'
Did not Stephen look into heaven and see
Him standing at the right hand OF GodS And
does not Paul speak Of Him as standing at
the right hani of God making intercesson
for us? o. Benjamin-Jesus! Son OF pang!
Son of vlctoryl The deepest emotions OF our
souls ought to be stirred at the sound OF that
nomenclature. In your prayers plead HIS
tears, HIS gu offerings. His sorrows. and His
death. Ifyou refuse TO do 1t, all the corn
cribs and the palaces OF heaven Will DO

MEXIOO'S PRESIDENT.
1t the Opening of the Congress He Alludes to Ea

1t the Opening of the Congress He Alludes to BE
lations With the United States.
The address delivered by President Dias
on the opening Of the Mexican Congress, re-
ferrlng to plomatic relations with tho
United States, is in part as follows:
"On the 9th of May last convention was
concluded at Washington, whereby the In"
ternatlonaI water boundary commission be-
tween oxico and the United States was en-
powered to study certain questions bearing
on the distribution Of the waters OF the
Bravo or Grande river. Tho commission
settled two grave questions Of disputed terri
tory arising from changes in the bed OF the
Rio Grande one relating to the Chamisla
tract, claimed by both commissions on be-
half of their governments, and the other re-
garding the Sar Eliza Rio Islet, which was
awarded by both commissions to Mexico"
Referring to the attack on tho Nogales
custom-house, the President says Mexico's
legation at Washington has teen instructed
t. draw the attention of the Department OF
State to the case and that as soon as the iu-
dicial investigation now In progress at
Sonora is completed the extradition OF the
guilty parties will be asked OF the United
States.
The President then goes en- to refor to the
recent attempt to hold PanAmerican con-
ference In the city Of Mexico to consider the
Monroe doctrine. The idea originated with
the government Of Ecuador. The congress
dissolved after only few meetings and
without accomplishing anything.
