Providence Journal: Rev. Justin Dew
ey Fulton, OF Boston, who 10 probably
of another family than the Manila
Dewey, Is out In another Characteristic
TRADE against the Roman Catholics.
He announces that the present war Is
for the express purpose Of squelchlng
the pope, though just how.or why Is not
clear. Mr.. Fulton informed his congre.
cation on Sunday that he had stayed
with God all day Saturday" lnferring
presumably that he had secured in this
way absolute knowledge as to the Dr.
vine intentions. 1.-THE Lord God" he
said, sis king in this business. This is
q religious war. The pope Is getting It
In the neck as he never did before" II

Narrow theologians OF his stripe do
more to fomcnt sectarlan discord than
ANYBODY else. They not only antagon-
lie those against whom their spite Is
directed. but disgust those who arc
nominaIly in accord with them. This Is
anything but n religious war. Are we
driving Spain out OF her lnsular possess
sIons for the sake OF any sect or dogma!
Rev. Mr.. Fulton should observe that
four Of the seven heroes under Lieut.
Hobson at Santiago were Roman Cath
olIcs; that the name Of James McColgan'
who was killed the other day IN the
fight at Guantanamo, sounds very much
as IL he might have been one, and that
Il was Patrick Mullens who fired the
first shot of the war for America. II Is

request OF the foreign Consuls In San

ed until tomorrow the period in which
General Llnares may agree to surrender
his forces, under threat that the town
will be bomburded. The Spanish gem

Cerfng blow TO him, but Mr.. Ramsden,
the British CONSUL says General Pnndo
hns reinforced General LInares with
5000 troops, and that the SpaniardS
are bitterly determined to fight 1t out.
He said that so Intense was the feeling
among the Spanish subaltern officers
that General Linnres would probably be
shot If he surrendered, Their attitude
was expressed in General Linares' re-
pIy to General shafter yesterday;
"Thls garrison dies, but never sur
renders"
Among some OF the soldiers, however,
n different feeling must prevail. They
have ascertained from the experience
of the Inhabitants Of Slboney that
American soldiers do not rayish wo-
men. but respect property and relieve
prisoners In distress. ~
Many of the Spanlards. therefore, are
now utterly Indifferent II further mis-
fortune 'befalls the Spanish army.
The Fourth OF July was celebrated at
noon to-day by the Americans, each

would be here within week with re-
Inducements was received with Wild
cheering. 8.
In spite of the reports brought By
the consuls OF the determination Of the
spanlards to continue the contest. there
is q strong hope that General Linares
will capitulnte. No other construction

JIM CROKER.

Jim Croker lived far In the woods.
A solitary place.
Where bushes grew like whiskers
On his unrazored face:
And the black bear was his brother.
And the catamount his chum,
And Jim. he lived and waited
For the millions yet to come
Jim Croker made q clearing
And he sowed It down with wheat:
He filled his lawn with cabbage.
And he planted It with beet:
It blossomed with the potato.
With the peach and pear and plum.
And Jim. he lived and waited
For the millions yet TO come.
Then Jim took his ancient ax
And cleared q forest street.
While he lived on bear and succotash
And young opossum meat
And his rhythmic ax-stroke sounded.
And the woods no more were dumb.
While he cleared crooked highway
For the millions yet TO come.
They came as aimless strangers.
They came from far and near.
And little log house settlement
Grew around the pioneer:
And the sound Of saw and broadax
Made glad industrial hum.
Says Jim: 1.-The coming millions.
They Just begun to come"
Then little crooked railway
Wound around mountain. hill and lake.
Crawling toward the forest village
Like an undulRting snake.
TIL one morn the locomotive
Pulled into the wilderness.
Says Jim: 1.-The coming millions,
They're coming by express"
And the city grew and prospered
With each succeeding year.
II had city council,
And old Jim was chosen mayor.
But Jim declined the honor
And moved his household goods
Far away into the forest,
To the old primeval woods.
Far, fur into the forest
Moved the grlzzled pioneer.
And he reared his hut and murmured;
IN build city here"
And he hears the woodfox barking,
And he hears the partridge drum.
And the old man sits and listens
FOR the millions yet to come
