STATE CoNGREGATIoNAL CLUB.
Addressed By Rev. Dr. Newman

Addressed By Rev. Dr. Newman
 Smyth.
 Hartford, May 25.--The May meeting of the Connecticut Congregational club was held here this afternoon.
 The address of the meeting was by Rev. Newman Smyth, D. D., pastor of the Center church in New Haven, and the theme was Congregational Loyalty as Condition of Church Unity"
 pr. Smyth spoke of the ideal unity of the church It will be unity of the spirit and life-not an ecclesiastical de- vice. II will be a positive unity not to be gained simply by compromise or surrender of denominational differences, but by the harmony of the positive vir- tues of all denominations. We must stand by what is of value in the de- nominational stuff until we can see it safely housed in the church of the fu- ture.
 The unity will be one of power Evil Is one All evil things work together. Christianity must be one to win the final victory over the evil one. Let the ideal unity shape and color all our prac- tical efforts of inter er-denominational CO., operation.
 Tn the course of his remarks Dr. Smyth said that in all public matters he had worked more with an Episcopal clergyman in New Haven than with any other minister and he was sure that ha shotIld represent the esteem in which Rev MT. Lines is held by the Congregationalists of New Haven if he could become himself an Episcopal cler- gyman long enough to cast vote for MT. Lines as assistant bishop of the diocese of Connecticut.
 The address which was a very able and thoughtful one, was listened to with great interest by the audience which included many pastors from the city and surrounding towns.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-Mrs.
Katie Malcomson. keeper of lodging
house at 131 Taylor street, was arrest
ed to-day by Detective Anthony and
FIRE Marshal Towne and booked at the
city prison for arson. She is suspected
OF having set fire to her place in order
10 secure the insurance money on her
furniture.
Fire was discovered early Saturday
morning in Mrs. Malcomson's house.
After the flames were subdued the
nremen found that fire had been set
IN four or five rooms on the second
and third floors. The materials used
were old newspapers and excelsior.
Ihe excelsior had been obtained from
bed mattresses, which had been ripped
open with some sharp instrument
inquiry revealed that Mrs. Malcolm
son had $1,000 worth of insurance on
her furniture; that she had offered to
sell this furniture for $500: that she
was IN arrears in her rent, and had
only one steady roomer in the house.
and that she had been losing money at
the races.
Mrs. Malcomson denies that she ser
hre to her house, but is unable to give
any plausible explanation of the cir
cumstances that lead the detectives to
oeileVe that she is the guilty person.

WETLBR'S TRIP TO SANTA CLARA
WITHOUT RESULT, FROM A TILL
TARY POINT OF VIEW.
Failing to Make Roadway Against
Gomez, He Will Try to Capture
Him Through Bribery.

NEW YORK, April "a dispatch to
the Herald" from Havana says: Gen
eraI Weyler's two weeks excursion to
Santa Clara has been utterly without
result from a military point of view,
and causes bitter comment here, as it
was expected that he would at least
operate in force against the insurgents.
which are positively known to be at
Arroyo Blanco under Gomez
One explanation which has been
suggested regarding General VIEWERS
puzzling conduct is that failing to make
Roadway against Gomez by military
tactics. he is now working out a plan
whereby an elaborate attempt will be
made through bribery to capture Co.
mez and his escort, as Rivera is al
legged to have been captured in Pinar
del Rio, that is, by having an over
whelming force guided by q traitor so
as to hurry to surround the rebel camp
in the night.
Before Weyler left Havana there was
much talk of a combined movement of
the columns to drive Gomez into a
corner where he must fight or ATTEMPT
to break through the trocha, which was
said to be impossible. But the much
Wanted flying columns were disordered
by Gomez without necessity of attack
ing the trocha, which no one doubts he
could nave crossed at any one of a
dozen points had it been necessary.
General Weyler is coming back from
his fruitless eastern trip soon, and will
announce the pacification of all the
country west of the trocha, and news
direct from his camp assures me that
he can mobilize three thousand men in
and along the Puerto Principe and San
ia Clara boundary at the shortest no.
tice.
The fact is that the insurgents of
Puerto Principe and Santa Clara are
active and the Spanish despair of pa-
cification in a reasonable time. SPANS
resources will not permit of her keep
ing a great army here another sum-
mer, even without activity in the field.
One thing is certain, if the interior
garrisons are withdrawn the insurgents
will control the island at once, and
when the columns are no longer feared
will make a demonstration against
Havana.
