the Iubberly fabric alongside. The chest

for the trial, were in attendance. Many
OF them were farmers from the remote

SPAIN'S PATROL NOT OF
MUCH AVAIL.
Pending Diplomatic Negotiations
Blanco's Mintons Are Trying to
Bribe Cuban Leaders.
Special Dispatch to The CALI.

NEW YORK. Nov. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: One of
the most inn portant topics which has been
considered by the Cabinet this week is
the reply of the administration to Senor
Sagasta's note in reply to Minister Wood
ford
This reply, which will be transmitted
through Minister Woodford, will prob
ably be finished by the latter part OF next
week. In Senior Sagasta's note much
stress is laid upon the alleged assistance
that Cuban insurgents have received by
means of flibustering expeditions from
the United States, and it Is intimated,
rather than clearly stated, that the Span
lsh Government does not consider that
the United States has exercised due dill
gence to prevent the departure of such
expeditions.
This is the feature of the Spanish note
to which most of the reply will be di-
rected The State Department is conf
dent that it will be able TO make an an
swer to the Spanish note which will en-
tirely clear this Government of any viola
ton Of international law.
1t will be shown that every means has
been taken to detect and prevent the de-
parture of expeditions at enormous cost
for the maintenance of the patrol along
the coast and the employment OF special
treasury agents on land, and that every
complaint from the Spanish thorities
as to alleged expeditions has been thor
oughly investigated.
1t is we'll known that the Spanish Gov
eminent has had a large fleet of naval ves-
sells and of mall craft of every description
engaged in patrolling the Cuban coast and
all the little bays and harbors. This Span.
ish patrol has been of very little use in
preventing the landing of tilibustering G
parties, and the administration is in a
position to point out that ii the Spanish
patrol of the Cuban coast had been as
effective as the patrol which had been
maintained by naval vessels and revenue
cutters on the Atlantic and gulf coasts OF
the United States there would probably
ave been very few fIibustering expe-
ditionS landed.
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-23
if they ventured into the insurgent

ii they ventured into the insurgent
camps.
Ii current reports among the friends OF
the insurgents are to be believed the revo-
iutonary leaders hope to strike decisive
biow at Spain before Congress meets, as
an encouragement to their friends in the
United States Senate who are urging q
recognition upon the part OF the United
States Government of the belligerency of
the insurgents of Cuba.
Regarding political utterances, a state
ment made by Marshal Blanco shortly
after his arrival here is much commented
upon. 1t seems that when the superior OF
religious order, residing at Guiana pacoa,
near this city, called upon the new cap
tain. general, in order to welcome him to
Cuba, Marshal Blanco. during the con-
versaIion which followed, said, "Only di-
vine Providence is able 10 save Cuba" :"
w Whereupon the distinguished priest re-
torted, "lf We must con1de in divine
Providence and have no other means to

ON EVOLUTION
and REVELATION "
DR.. Conklin Surprises the A.
M. E. Congress by His
Views.
Says the Prevalent View Of Special
Creation Is Not Founded on
Genesis.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL


PITTSBURG, Nov. 22-The feature of
the afternoon session of the A. NJ. E. Con-
gress was the paper presented by E. G.
Conklin, Pin. D., professor of com parative
embryology, University of Pennsylvania
The subject discussed was "Evolu ution
and Revelation" The paper came near
producing a sensation. During its read :
ing the attention of the audience was di-
vided, and the general discussion which
followed was spicy.
Some of the points made by DIR. Conk-
lin were: 1.-THE charge that evolution is
atheistic arises only from the most funda-
mental misconception OF the doctrine 1t
neither confirms nor denies the existence
of God. 1t is no more atheistic to be-
lIeve that species originally came into the
world according to the law of evolution
than it is 10 believe that individuals come
in to the world according to the law of de-
velopment. The prevalent view of special
creation is not founded upon Genesis, but
upon the seventh book of Milton Para
disc Lost
1T is the conse nsus of scientific opinion
that evolution does not destroy the evil
dences of design in nature, but rather that
it gives Us more certain evidences of an
infinite and ALIEN bracing design. All the
evidences of evolution apply to the origin
of man as much as to that of any other
organism. The dignity of man does not
consist in the fact that recently and
miracuIously he was launched into the
world. His real dignity consists not in
his origin, but in all he 10 and what be
may become.
Evolution explains the moral unrest
of human kind as due to the conflict be-
tween the animal and the spiritual, the
beastly and the heavenly. 1t explains
original sin as brute inheritance and the
fall as a conscious yielding of the higher
TO the lower nature. Although evolution
points out mans humble origin, it also
suggests his glorious and immortal des-
tinv. Through all the ages evolution has
been leading to a higher intellectual,
ethical and spiritual life. "
When the doctor had finished the op-
ponents of his position came TO the front
in nun mbers which showed that the theory
of evolution was not universally popular
In the congress.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Some appre,
hension is felt in Jersey City over the
threat of the American Sugar Refining
Company to move its plant from Jersey
CITY if the city does not reduce the price
OF water TO the com pany. AS such a
course would throw 100 residents of the
city out Of employment, some of the
more timid of the city officials view with
alarm the present condition of the con-
troversy between the city and company.
The trouble has grown out Of the action
oi the street and water board, which
passed a resolution reducing the COM
pany's water rate upon condition that the
company pay the city large sum of DIS
puted back taxes. The company paid
$4,000 on account OF these isbuted taxes
and then the board passed a resolu-
ZION resembling the former resolution, but
making no provision for the return OF the
$l8, OOO. The resembling resolution was
siened by the Mayor on Saturday.
The company contends that it has been
"bunkOed" out of ,000 On behalf of
the city it is contended the company owed
that amount to the city ana has only paid
lis JGGt debt. This does not satisfy the
sugar-house people and they declared
to-day that they would shut down and re-
move Their plant oui OF the civ unless the
city kept its contract and furnished it with
