He Listens to a Sermon by the Rev.
DIR. Bristol Yesterday.


DIR, Bristol Yesterday.
President Mckinley was a member of
the large congregation at Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday
morning. The Rev Dr. Bristol took for
his text, '"The Son of Man is come to
seek and taasave that which is lost"
How to educate, to civilize. to govern
and to save man are problems which
never have been satisfactorily answered
by the ancients" he said, because they
have never been able to interpret man.
To know man seems as difficult a prob
lem as to know God, and it is so because
the knowledge of man never was related
to the knowledge of God.
"Of all the teachers who have come
into this world, Jesus alone mas saved,
for He alone has been able to define
man One of the wise sayings of the
olden times was know thyself.' That
seems to be the condensation of all
philosophy. The best and most devout
thinkers give themselves up to the study
of man and try 10 fathom the depths
of this life with the goIden-linked chain
of wisdom and reason"

After the feet got into the rough waters

Washington, June 2l.-Two months
ago today war broke out between the
United States and Spain, according to
the proclamation of the President and the
declaration of Congress. The end of that
period finds nearly 10000 United States
troops lying off Santiago, preparing to
land; it finds cable communication estab-
lished between the department at Wash
ington and the advance guards of the ex-
pedition in Cuba, and it finds Cuban
territory in the possession of United
States marines, backed by a squadron
and nearly all of the commercial ports OF
Cuba blookaded.
This is all apart from Dewey's great
victory at Manila and from the splendid
results achieved in organizing several
armies now in the camps. Therefore the
ofhcers OF the administration feel that
they have right to look back with pride
over what has been accomplished in the
short space of two months, working in a
large part with raw material in both the
army and navy.
The government has now determined to
send heavy reinforcements to General
Shafter at Santiago. The first expedition
will leave Newport News Thursday morn
ing carrying Brigadier General Duffield's S
separate brigade Of the second army
corps, made up of the ninth Massachu-
setts. the 33rd and 34th Michigan and the
third Virginia regiments, in all about

ly by way of Tampa, for while Fernan-
dina and Miami ore considered to have
many good points for concentrating
troops, yet army officials are now satisfied
that Tampa can be retained with advan,
tage as the main point of embarkation.
The next forces to go will include those

Monday night, June 20-Yia Kingston,
JAM, Tuesday, June 21-11 a. m--As
soon as the fleet of transports had arrived
at point about 20 miles off Santiago
this afternoon, the steamer Seguranea
having ON beard Gen. Shafter nd his
staff, left the other vessels lying to and
steamed to the flagship of the American
feet, in order to visit Rear Admiral
Sampson. The general went on board
the flagship and the Seguranca then went
to Acerraderos, little over II mi es
west of Santiago de Cuba, near which
Gen. Garcia is encamped with 5000 Cuban
soldiers. Gen. Shafter and his staff and
Rear Admiral Sampson went ashore and
proceeded to Gen. Garcia's headquarters
about mile inland, where they spent
several hours in consultation with the
Cuban general At the conclusion of
the conference, Gen. Shafter and the
other officers had little or nothing to say
regarding the plans for landing the
American troops or for the cooperation of
the Cubans. The best Information OBJ
tainabe is that there will be no attempt
to make a general landing for two or
three days; but small bodies of troops
will be put ashore, probably tomorrow,
at several points, both east and west of
Santiago, including Acerraderos. This
will give Gen. Shafter an opportunity to
become more familiar with the work
before him and to ascertain the best place
for general landing.

Guy V. Henry, distinguished cavalry
officer of the regular army, arrived here
today from Tampa and the present plans
are for General Henry to command
division, made up of the, brigades of Gen
erals Duffield and Garretson, this division
comprising 5000 men, to be for the speedy
reinforcement of General Shafter. IL will
at once swell the American forces at
Santiago de Cuba to about "a 900 men.
But the expedition will not stop at that
number as there is determination to
send forward a sufficient force to crush
any Spanish command which CAN be con-
centrated at that point.
The reports from Santiago that about
Il, 600 Spanish troops are in and about
the city, do not agree with the reliable
estimates in the possession of the war de-
partment. According to the latter figures
there are not to exceed $4,000 Spanish
troops at Santiago, while one hundred
miles away to the northwest at Holguin,
the Spanish corps commander, General
Pando, has 10, 900 men. The war depart.
