DAnwIN,s RELIGIOUS VIEWS.

Darwin probably did more to aid in
arraying science against religion. or
rather scientists against religionists,
than any other writer of modern
times; but whether he tried or in
tended to foment such hostility, seems
to be a matter of doubt. 1t is both
easler and pleasanter to believe that
he merely pursued scientific study and
research for tho love of them. withoI.
regard to whittier they might lead
him.
To know the inward faith or convio-
tons of such n man as he, in respect
TO religion, is always a matter of inter-
est. In his case there seems to be a
well-founded doubt as to whether any
distinctly defined belief upon the sub
ject was entertained. In letter
written by him, which is reproduced in
his biography written by his son. he
says:
"The impossibllity of conceivlng that
this grand and wondrous universe
arose through chance, seems to me the
chief argument for the existence of
God; but whether this is an argument
of real value, | have never been able

ment this Is. The safest conclusion
seems to me that the whole subject Is
beyond the scope OF mans intellect,
but man can do his duty"
1t IL apparent from these expressions
that Darwin was not a pronounced,
much less an aggressive, atheist. On
the contrary, he entertained respect
fer the judgment of the many able
men who have fully believed in Cod
He was simply an agnostic Of n mild
type. unable to determine, to his own
satisfaction, from such evidence as
had been presented to his mind,
whether Supreme Being existed or
not.
Undoubtedly the Inconsistencies and
absurditles of modern so-called Chris
tian theology are responsible for the
doubt that has filled the minds of
multitudes of thinking men and wo-
men, since the establishment of re-
ligious liberty to the extent that it ex-
lists among the leading nations. What
effect upon such minds will be pro-
duced by the preaching of the pure,
simple and consistent theology taught
by the Savior, cannot be known until
the experiences of future state are
disclosed.

skeptlcai persons sometimes ask why
does not the Almighty permit people
TO return from the other side and bear
testimony to the fact of life after
this and the conditions Of such life?
The objection was met by our Lord,
who stated that If they do not believe
the Scriptures; neither will they be-
lieve the statements OF person risen
from the dead. There Is natural
reason for this. The actual status OF
n life beyond probably Is so different
In every respect TO the preconcelvod

of such evidence has repeatedly been
demonstrated In the case of the Incl

always is that they are mere fables,

claims to miraculous rescue from death

Heroes of Santiago.

On sunday the lIth Instant the officers who were wounded in the first fight in Cuba were landed at New York. A correspondent of the Globe-Democrat says:
 Wars grim realization made bright by heroism were in evidence today at the Marine Hospital on Staten Island, where 100 wounded privates and officers from the bloody field of Santiago de Cuba are gathered. They are part Of 250 wounded heroes brought home by the transport Olivette, which came to anchor in the bay last night.
 Among the more desperately wound ed cases on board were those of Private Orme, of the rough riders, shot in both lungs, and Private Redd, of the same regiment, shot through the head. Both of these, however, were able to walk. Capt. Knox, shot through both the liver and kidney, was able to move about, and is rapidly recovering.
 Maj. Brodie, of the rough riders, with his arm in sling, talked cheer fully of the first fight of his regiment. He and Liet. Deverau declared that there was no ambush, but that 450 of their men and 450 regulars attacked 2OOO Spaniards. whose presence was detected by scouts, and drove them two and half miles. Thomas Isbell, of the rough riders, fired the first shot and killed the first Spaniard, being immediately afterwards struck by sew eral bulletts and killed. Capt. J. H. McClintock of Co. B rough riders, badly wounded in the leg is improving since his arrival at the hospital.

To enter 1t is an impossibility, even
when only moderately well defended.
To bomhard it would mean firing at
unseen objects five miles away. With
the Morro silenced. ships might ap-
proach to within four miles of the
probable anchorage Of the Spanish
squadron in the spacious harbor, near
the city of Santiago.
Santiago lies a good $50 miles from
Key West by way of the Yucatan Pas
sage, around the western end of Cuba,
and about $50 miles by way of the
Windward Passage, round Cape Maysi,
the estern end of Cuba
In connection with the future move
ments of the opposing forces, the
interesting question is whether the
American fleet will be divided, one
squadron going to the eastward to
Santiago. the other to the westward
for the same place, and what ships
will compose the two squadrons.
OFF Havana there may be stationed
enue cutters and lighthouse tenders,
many of the gunboats and several of
the auxiliary cruisers. This Havana
squadron, under Commodore Watson,
a man who knows no fear, and who
fought under Farragut, could smash
the Spanish squadron. Watson would
have 5000 tons of armored monitors
to meet 2s,000 tons of Spanish ships
nearly double. He would have twenty
six guns to match against forty-four-
nearly double again. Yet from the ma
ture Of the monitor it is confidently
believed that in smooth water she out
classes the Spaniard, ship for ship. No
account need be taken of the destroy
ers, for Watson has at least ten vessels
to oppose one of the enemy's, and
numbers must count.

would have to be opposed to four. With

Sampson. with his squadron of arm

apolis and the New Orleans. These
cruisers carry good batteries and
would be able to help materially. The
remainder OF the cruisers and the reg
tilar gunboats might be evenly divided
between the two fleets. Such a dis
trlDution would be sufficient to meet
anv possible emergency which might
arise.
NOW as to speed. There is consid-
cradle doubt as to the ability of the
spanish squadron to make the twenty
Knots often credited to it. When the
ships We're new, with especially train
ed crews, they were jockeyed over the
measured mile at the rate of twenty

gines out of tune.

With the juncture effected by the

On the eastern side OF the entrance
is Morro Castle, a large, terraced for
tffication standing on the western ex-
tremity of fiat ridge about 200 feet
high, commanding the channel, which
is only 200 yards wide, ani two IIrge
ships are never allowed to pass one an

a skillful man could throw stone on

properly, send its projectile crashing

To the Editor Of The Times:
Permit me to state through your paper
the fact that / am very much surprised
to notice an article published in your
issue of today, which reads as follows:
'-Colored Troops Wanted; the President
Will Make an Official Test Of Negro Pa
triotism.'' The thing that surprises me
most is that any well-informed American
has single doubt as to the patriotism
Of the American negro. In face of the
fact that he has proven himself to be
not only patriotic, but brave and cour-
ageous in every war in which this coun-
try has been engaged. i can assure the
President and the people of this country
that all the black man wants is to be
assured practical fair treatment in Of
ficering his companies. regiments and bri-
gades. There will be no trouble about
raising 10000 patriotic and brave black
soldiers. JOHN A. MOSS.
