TERROR REIGNS IN HAVANA.

Insurgents Killed Forty Spaniards in
The,< Attack on a Suburb.
TAMPA, Fla, Aug. 3.-The story tele.
graphed from Havana last week about
an attack by insurgents on the suburbs
Of that city is confirmed by passengers
who left Havana ON the Plant line
steamer Mascotte. Among the number
was Senor Calabjer, wealthy Span
lard, and his wife and daughter, who
are now to be reckoned among the refu.
gees who have fed from Havana. The
attack referred to was made on the lit.
tie village of Marnanao, about 10 miles
southwest Of the city, and the terminus
cf the antiquated and dilapidated Mar.
nanao railroad. The engagement was
short and desperate. Forty.nine Span.
iards were killed and l2O wounded; two
Cubans were killed and 40 wounded.
The inhabitants of the town fed for
their lives, leaving the insurgents in
complete possession. They sacked the
place and secured $40, 900 in gold besides
a large quantity of supplies that they
could not carry away. 1t is said that
widest terror reigns in Havana, and
the well.to-do inhabitants are leaving as
fast as local laws will permit

DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

Ex-senator Hills Opinion of England's
Participation in Monetary Conference.
DENVER, Aug. 3.-In an interview
concer ming the prospects for an inter
national monetary conference, ex.
United States Senator d. B. Hill said:
"There is nothing in the recent news
from England to cause q renewal of
hope of any definite action favorable to
silver. 1t means nothing more than
that England will take part in the con-
ference, and there is not the slightest
intimation that she will agree to any
thing that may be proposed. The send.
ing of such kilograms have the effect to
make people who are not familiar with
the situation believe some favorable &C.
tion might be taken by England and
possibly that may have been the inten.
ton, but there is the experience of the
past to justify the opinion that England
will maintain the position that she has

They Will Make a Flying Trip,
Returning This Fall, if
Possible.
Upon Their Report Will Depend
Further Action by the
Government.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Under orders
issued by Acting Secretary Of War
Meiklejohn, Captain Phray and Lieu
tenant Richardson, Eighth infantry,
have started from Fort D. A. Russell,
Wyo., for Alaska. Their orders are to
go as far as Circle City at least, and
make as much of an investigation of the
conditions at the gold fields as the short
time remaining Of this season will
permit. They will sail on the fifth
from Seattle, and the war department
officials are confident that they will not
only be able to get into the Klondyke
region this season, but also to make
their exit before the country is closed by
winter. Upon the report of Captain
Ray will depend the action of the war
department in the matter of establish.
ing post and military force in the
vicinity of the gold fields.

ADVANCES OF MODERN SCIENCE

There are some that imagine that
the Victorian age has been destruc-
tive of the belief in miracles. In
reality it, more than any other since
the world began, has brought home
TO the average man the stupendous
miracles of the world. They call it a
materialist age, which has chained
the soul of man to inert matter. But
almost before the reproach is heard,
science proclaims that there is no
such thing as inert matter, that every
atom is alive, and that our mortal
bodies are vast composite conglomera-
tions of living organisms, upon whose
pitched battles in our veins depend
our health or our disease. To take
but one instance. Imagine all that
we understand by the word microbe,
and then recall the fact that the
microbe was practically unknown
when the Queen came to the throne.
In a very special fashion, science
has revealed to us a new heaven and
new earth, infinitely marvellous,
testifying to an understanding so vast
that the mind of man cannot by
searching find it out. Behind each
discovery that advances our know
ledge, the infinite unknown inGefi-
nitely recedes. We weigh the stars,
analyze their composition in the spec
troscope; we photograph the moon
and make maps of the canals in Mars
But far more stupendous are the
discoveries that have been made, not
in the infinitely distant abysses of
space, but in the intinItesimally small
molecules which are all around
Science has sent its Roentgen ray
through the darkened veil, and re
vealed the invisible and summoned
all men to enjoy 1t as their inherit

UNFORTUN4TE INTERRUPTION.

Willie was asleep and Dan was
lonely. Willie is the minister's son,
Dan is his dog. 1t was Sunday morn
ing and every one was at church but
these two friends. 1t was warm and
sunny, they could hear the preaching,
for their house was next door to the
church.
Dan" said Willie, ''it is better
here than in church, for you can hear
every word, and don't get prickles
down your back, as you do when you
have to sit up straight"
In some way, while Willie was list
ening he fell asleep.
Dan kissed him ON the nose, but
when Willie went to sleep he went to
sleep to stay, and did not mind trifies.
So Dan sat down with the funniest
look of care on his wise, black face.
and with one ear ready for outside
noises.
Now the minister had for his sub
ject, Daniel" This was the name
he always gave Dan wien he was
teaching him to sit up anG beg, and
other tricks. While tie dog sat
thinking, the name Daniel fell in
his ear. Dan at once ran into the
church through the vestry door. He
stood on his hind legs, with his fore
paws dropping close beside the minis
ter, who did not see him, but the con-
gregation did. When the minister
shouted Daniel" again, the sharp
baTks said, Yes, SIR" as plainly as
Dan could answer.
The minister started back, looked
around, and saw the funny little pic
ture; then he wondered what he
should do next, but just then through
the vestry came Willie. His face was
rosy from sleep, and he looked little
frightened. He walked straight to-
ward his father, and took Dan in his
arms, and said:
Please 'scuse Dan, papa. 1 went
to sleep and he runned away
Then he walked out with Dan look
ing back on the smiling congregation.
The preacher ended his sermon on
Daniel as best he could; but then he
made resolve, it he ever preached
again on the prophet Daniel, he
would remember to tie up his dog
Our Little Ones.
