FRED FUNSTON'S LECTURE.
The Cuban Colonel Gives a Thrilling
Story OF Cuban Warfare.

A crowded house greeted Fred
Funston at the Opera House Tuesday
to hear his lecture on "Cuba and
Cuban Revolution" He talked
rapidly for nearly two hours and held
the closest attention of the audience.
frequently interrupted by applause
when American bravery or American
interests were mentioned. Mr.. Fun
ston necessarily followed his own
career az an outline of his lecture, but
very modestly kept himself in the
background even when the facts
stated could only have been learned
by personal experience. There was
no attempt to utilize the dramatic
possibilities which frequently APP
peared in the talk. The story was
told IN the most matter of fact way
aud the most exciting personal Ok
periences were dismissed with a
sentence Mr.. Funston erred perhaps
on the side of modesty.
1t IL impossible of course in so brief
an article to give anything but frag-
ments of the story. Starting from
New York Funston and his party
were Swallowed by detectives whom
they lodged by neat railroad manipu-
lation. They sailed on the Dauntless,
making her first trip in the series
OF daring, blockade running exped-
tions which made her famous.
Caught by Spanish man.of- war as
they neared the Cuban coast, Funston
and companion were turned loose in
row boat two miles from land, while
the Dauntless escaped to the open sea
After landing Fred Funston rose
rapidly in rank as an artillery officer,
not on account of previously acquired
skill in that line, but through his
clear head and daring heart. n Battle
after battle, twenty-four I'm all,
ensued and he fought through them

utterly hopeless. The insurgents are in
overwhelming numbers, and the Span
iards can only obtain the bare neces-
ssries of life. Only a fortnight ago
Spanish national pride was rampant,
but 1t is now merging into indignation
at Spain feeblenesS and regret that
they were born SDaniards
While they will never surrender with
out > fight. the Spanish officers will
jump at the first honorable opportunity
to surrender. They fear national dis
grace too much to give in without a
fight
The fighting in the suburbs is desul-
tory, and the Americans are idle. This
has given rise to a report that they
had determined to suspend operations
until September, and by that time
peace will probably be concluded. Then,
il is asserted here, the Americans may
permanently annex the Caroline islands
and the LadTOne islands, and possibly
abandon the Philippines, with the eX-
ception of keeping a coaling station
here. Although the insurgents have.
redoubled their efforts, they have hith-
erto been unable to capture the citadel
On the other hand, the SDaniards are
not able to re-establish their suZer-
ainty. Under the circumstances, it
seems evident that somebody must in
terfere in the name of humanity
Some insurgent shells have been
thrown into the citadel but they do
not appear to have done much dam
age.
The natives are reported to be starv-
ing by thousands, and the Europeans
are also hard pressed for food.

Washington, July 3O-The following
has been received at the war depart
ment:
."Cavite, July 25.-Arrived today about
10. Health of command good. Remain
der of fleet about four days in the rear.
All troops assigned me will probably be
needed. MERRITT
Major General Commanding"
The navy department has made pub
lie the following from Admiral Dewey:
Merritt arrived yesterday on the
Newport The-remainder of the cxpe-
dition is expected within the next few
days"
A dispatch received from Admiral
Dewey announces that Aguinaldo has
assumed b kld attitude of defiance,
and that it Would take large force
from this country to subdue the insur-
gents.
General Merritt's expedition included
the transports Ohio. City OF Para, Indi-
ana. and Morgan City, which left San
Francisco June q, carrying $500 officers
and men, under Brigadier General Nc
Arthur; the steamer Valencia, which
sailed on June IS, with 800 men, and the
flagship Newport, which sailed on June
%. with 500 men, under the immaculate
command of General Merritt. Alto
gether there were 5000 officers and men
in the third party The first expedition
carried 2.501 men and the second carried
3.515 men, so that General Merritt now
has under his command 11,0l6 men.
MERRITT ASSUMES COMMAND.
Manila. July 26 (via Hongkong, July
3O.)-General Merritt assumed COM
mand of the American forces imme-
diately after he had reported to Ad-
miral Dewey He established head
quarters at the Cavite arsenal. The
Newport was escorted to an anchorage
near the cruiser Charleston by the gun
boat Concord, the crews of the vessels

rousing welcome.
At the close of his official visit to the
Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flagship,
General Merritt was officially recogniz-
ed by q salute of Is guns.
Until he shall have received the re-
ports of the officers who preceded him,
and familiarized himself with the sit-
uation, General Merritt cannot deter
mine as to his future course.
The remaining transports are expect
ed to arrive tomorrow. The fleet saw
nothing of the monitor Monterey and
the collier Brutus and it is supposed
that the monitor is coaling at Guam
island.
The troops encamped at Paranaque
have not yet made a move, the condi-
ton of the country between the camp
and the outskirts of Manila being such,

ATTITUDE OF NATIVES.
No Objection to Annexation By the
United States.

Manila. July (via Hongkong. July 800.
Conversation with a considerable
number of natives failed to disclose the
existence Of any perceptible anti-Amer-
lean feeling among the Philippines.
These people are apparently satisfied
to accept annexation to the United
States. Their principal desire is for a
peaceful existence, with the minimum
of trouble. They, however, earnestly
wish the abolition of oppression Incl
dent to Spanish official raDacity and
the tyranny of the religious bodies. The
natives have no objection to the church
apart from the orders of friars. The
Philippines are scarcely interested in
any particular form of government,
but only desire to be left alone.
The rebels who recently captured Ca
loocan shelled the Spanish block house
at Maipago, where, after having smash
ed the Spanish cannon, they stormed
the place and bayoneted 20 Spanlards.
German officials here explain that the
landing of food at Manila recently was
merely a trifle, and was for the RELIEF
of German residents. 1t has now been
decided to discontinue this mode OF
aiding the subjects of Germany at Ma
Mia.

POSITION OF AMERICANS.
Nearly Five Thousand Entrenched
Near Manila-No Sickness.

Hongkong, July 30.-Letters received
here from Cavite under date of July
I 26 state that the insurgents have done
nothing since their second repulse at
Malate, when the American troops were
held under arms, through fear of an
attack by the Spaniards There are
now 1880 American soldiers within an
hour of Manila, near Malate. Their
camp is protected by trenches and guns
and is covered by the guns of the
cruiser Boston and the Callao from the
sea. The American transports, it is
said, will start on their return to San
Francisco in a few days. There is no
sickness among the troops.
1t is believed that Governor General
August will surrender, owing to the
fact that Admiral Camara's squadron
has returned to Spain, but the army
officers desire 70 resist to the last, and
there is a prospect that peace will be
concluded prior to the capture of Ma
Mia by the Americans.
About a dozen small Spanish steam
ers have passed out recently under the
insurgent flag. ostensibly to go to Gen
eral Aguinaldo, but the suspicious of
the Americans were aroused, and no
more of these craft will be allowed to

Merritt's Statement That He Will
Need All the Troops.

Washington, July 3O.-The statement
of General Merritt contained in mis-
cablegram today that he probably
would need all the troops that had been
assigned to him, was regarded as a lit
tie ominous of trouble to come, though
whether this is to be with the natives
or is incident to the siege of Manila, is
not evident. The generals dispatch, it
is supposed, was brought TO Hongkong
on the British gunboat Plover, and as
he makes no mention of the reported
surrender OF Manila, although his dis
patch undoubtedly is the latest from
the Philippines, that report is now
looked upon as at least premature. 1t
is noticeable, too, that Admiral Dewey,
in his telegram, made no reference to
the reported surrender.

influence was the guide and his outfit
was Of the most complete order Tables
were spread for every meal and the

Initial Council of New Y.

Report Made TO Directors BY Sec
rotary Coleman-Resign
of Mr.. Cheek

The first monthly meeting Of the
new Board Of Directors of the y. NJ.
| c. a. was held in the Association hall
last night The attendance was large
and much important business was
transacted.
Secretary Coleman reported as fol-
lows: The close of one year and the
beginning Of another in association
work is always a busy time. The re-
ports Of the past years work have
been filed and will appear in the Re
view in a few days Ninety-eight dol
lars were collected in membership fees
during the month. The annual meet
! ing was held for the election of Off
! GERS and was well attended and good
spirit of association loyalty was
| shown. The educational classes have
| all closed and the other work in the
! physical and devotional departments
has gone on about as usual. One meet
! ing was held on the ship IrOquOis for
! the sailors on board and it was in
spring to report four clear CONVEX
sions as a result. This is a good be
| ginning for the new year and we have
started with the determination that
| the coming year will see more young
men brought to Christ than during
the one that is past. This every mem
Der should be interested in and every
member should consider himself dele
gated by the Devotional Committee to
! try and lead someone to be interest
ed in this work and to take the Christ
! life for his example. One position was
| filled. Room No. 3 has been rented
| to Miss Herrick, a teacher in china
painting from Oakland. Two very in
teresting lectures were delivered to
the juniors on The best books to read.
Three committee meetings were held
to consider plans for the new year, and
if these plans are we'll supported by
every member and officer, there will
be no reason why the coming of year
will not be one full of excellent re-
suits"
The following resignation from M.
A. Cheek, assistant secretary, was
read and accepted with regret:
Owing to a change of business af-
fairs, in which 1 am directly interest
ed, | find it desirable to return home
as soon as possible. 1 therefore re-
specially submit my resignation as
assistant secretary of your association,
to take effect at the time of the eXpira
ton of my present engagement, May
16, 1898. Should you so desire, 1 will
be willing to stay in this capacity I'M
til May 25th, but would like, if posi-
BILE to be relieved on the 10Th inst"
A committee was appointed to pro-
cure a new assistant secretary in the
place of Mr.. Cheek.
Nine new members We're admitted
into the association.
Secretary Coleman was authorized to
look into the matter of any member
from the Y. NJ. c. A. here with inten-
lions of travelling in Europe next year.
Should such be found he will be given
credentials as a representative of the
association here at the Worlds Inter
national convention to be held in
Switzerland.
AS all business was not completed
adjournment was taken until next
Monday evening. At that time, the
budget of expenses for the coming
year will be taken up and discussed.

! Thus in a few words is contained
the history of a life all too short, but
noble and full of good. Hers was a
! life far more useful than the span of
years would indicate, for at a time
when most people are only thinking of
the active duties of life, she had gained
a liberal education in science art and
music, given two years service to her
country in the cause of education, had
a neat, new home in which she took
great pride, and a devoted, loving hus-
band and seemed just ready to live
when mans greatest enemy-cOnsump-
tion-claimed her, and after a little
more than three months illness she
rests from toll She was educated at
st. Andrews PriOry, and had a wide
circle of girl friends throughout the
Islands; those who knew her longest
and the most intimately loved her
best. Life brOadens and deepens in its
every day aspect when life and char
acter of such singular beauty and puri-
ty has eXerted its infunce on the lives
of others. She held high ideal of
life, believed it was real and for a pur-
pose, eXemplifed its beauty in every
act and thought; strove to retain it as
long as there was hope, and then ap-
preached death with calm. courageous
resignation and Willingness, leaving
messages of love and encouragement
to those behind, and peacefully fell
asleep.
The interment was Sunday morning
in the family lot by the side of her
mother and three sisters who have

vice of the English Church, of which
she was a life long member. Blessed
