Tho extraordinary victory won
by SIMPSONS squadron last Sun
day morning in Cuban waters,
when Admiral Cervara's fleet was
destroyed and himself captured, AS
he was bravely attempting to escape
from Santiago harbor, is one of the
greatest triumphs Of naval warfare IN
American annals. With the destlrc-'
ton OF Cervera's ships the naval power
of Spain is completely crushed on this
side Of the Atlantic, and what is very
remarkable the American ships were
not injured in the encounter, and only
ono man was killed and two wounded
ON the Brooklyn. No sucn victory
has been recorded in any sea battle ex-
cept that of Dewey against Montejo in
Manila bay. The superiority OF the
American navy has been demonstrated,
and the nations of the world recognize
1t unquestionably. The great achieve
mcnt has astonished even Americans
themselves. and they attribute it to
tho superb workmanship and admir-
able fighting qualities of the American
gunneB.

courage and fought vaIiantly to the last

they inflicted no damage worth noting
on our ships, while theirs were sunk to

two years after the execution. It is

The American people have a tender

valry to Hobson and his crew of the
Merrimac. He proved himself Skill
ful navigator in eluding our flying
squadron, and stealthily sought refuge in
the inner waters of Santiago bay. His
shells played sad havoc with our brave
soldiers in the land battle, one of them
destroying nearly an entire company.
He saw the capture of the
city by our troops was inev-
liable, and concluded to take
his chances by sailing out to sea, and
lighting his way through our fleet. The
Americans were too much for him, but
he never surrendered until his fleet was
completely disabled, and he could fight
no longer.
His seamen fought with dauntless
bravery and never showed the white
feather. Some $50 of them were kill
ed in the engagement and drowned,
about 16O severely wounded. and LOGO
made prisoners. Captain Wainwright
OF the Gloucester complimented Adj

Being asked what his object was in at

the resurrection Of Christ. "But,"
said the writer, Christ was dead when
his body was entombed, and you will be
alive. If you get back from the grave
life will not have loft your body, and it
will not be resurrection in the proper
sense of the word, but merely a case of
suspended animation. If you die in the
ground, your body, when exhumed, will
be corpse. Are you sure you will sur
vive?"

byterian and believe in predestination.
1t is appointed that shall die certain
way. If l die in the earth it is Gods
will"
But you have no guarantee from God
that you will come through all right, and
if you get suffocated and perish you will
be guilty of suicide. 1t is as if a man
unable to swim threw himself into the
Mississippi to try whether he would get
drowned or not. If he is not rescued
he will surely drown and be guilty of
