FIERCE FIGHT AT MALATE.
AMERICANS REPULSE A
MUCH LARGER FORCE
OF SPANIARDS.
Splendid Victory Achieved by
Boys in Blue Who Were
Never Under Fire Be-
fore-Their Losses
Light.

Hong Kong, Aug "Details
have been reached by special
dispatch beat from Manila, which
shows that there was a terrific
battle on the night of July 81,
between Americans and Spaniards
at Malate. 1t WAS tiercely con-
tested and resulted IN Spanish
repulse with Spanish losses.
Malate is on Manila bay, near
Manila city. 1t has been the
outpost of American and lnsur-
gent forces operating between
Cavite and Manila.
The Spaniards chose a dark
night for the attack, hoping to
turn the American line and retake
the position by hurling a superior
force of 5000 men against it.
The American force comprised
the first battalion of the tenth
Pennsylvania volunteers, the first
California battalion, the third
United States artillery and bat
terry A of Utah.
1t required three hours fighting
to drive the Spaniards back to
Manila.
The American loss was nine
killed and forty four wounded.
The Spanish loss was over two
hundred killed and three hundred
wounded.
Scarcely any of the Americans
were over under fire before. Thew
behaved splendidly.
The Spaniards attacked the
Americans several times. The
American fire broke the Spanish
centre and they retreaIed.
The Spanish forces made a
second charge on the Americans,
but again retreated to the bushes,
keeping up incessant fire on the
road.

Sermon Preached by the ReY

Night.
DUTY OF VOTERS.
Christians Told That it is Their
Q Duty to Oppose all Connec-
tion Between the State
and the Liquor
Traffic.
Greenvllle News.

Greenvllle News.
A very large congregation at
the Methodist church on Sunday
night heard the Rev w A Rogers,
the pastor, preach sermon
strongly urging all voters to sup
port the cause and candidates of
prohibition at the coming elections
in this State.
The subject of the elmoh had
been announced in advance aud
as prohibition is an issue in the
political canvass now in progress
much interest was aroused. MIR z
had evidently prepared his sermon
carefully and he delivered it very
earnestly and with evident effect.
The text was from Exodus so:
26-"Who is on the Lords
Sidel"
Goods purpose looks to the
elevation of our race, it's hap
piness here and hereafter" Mr.
Rogers said.
'To accomplish this He has
established physical, mental and
moral law. Obedience to these
makes the full orbed man, the
Christian citizen. 1t follows that
all government, State or national,
operated in reference to these
laws is wise. Therefore no man
or Legislature has the right to
legalize what is in opposition to
these laws. In determining the
Divine relation to prohibition let
US study first by comparison.
"The decalogue is statement
OF prohibition made under the
most unpromising and impracti-
cable circumstances. II shows
that God forms His standard by
what ought to be. Must we cease
to prohibit theft because it can t
be stopped' Or murder because
it increases with the years. So
the decalogue teaches that a ques-
ton like prohibition is not first
to be studied from the stand point
of political economy, expediency
or possibility of enforcement,
Though we are willing to meet
that, but from what ought to be.
If liquor is doing harm to indi
viduals, home and country it
ought to be prohibited.
"What is morally wrong can
never be politically right, or
wise--for it takes sides against
God.
Next study express statements
of the Bible
"Thou shalt not suffer sin IN.
on thy neighbor. Cursed is he
that giveth his nelghbor drink"
'No drunkard shall ipher;t tho
kingdom of God"

lives, but to save them.

"We have agreed upon a pro
