put curse upon childhood, you de-

put curse upon childhood, you de-
grade womanhood, you dissolve socie-
ty, you brutalize mankind. History
has no palmer lesson than that which
teaches that States are strong and
progressive where marriage is sacred
and indissoluble, and inevitably weak
and retrograding when marriage is a
civil contract to be annulled by the
consent of the parties. God has no
direr curse or retribution than he
holds in store for that man or woman
who breaks the most sacred bond pos
sible to the highest being of creation.
Like Herod, either of them will taste
hell on earth before its engulfng fires
swallow them up in an unspeakable
eternity.
Let us have great awakening in
our community on the all-important
subject Of purity and love in the
home. Marry in the Lord or marry
not at all. What joy surmounted the
marriage bell at your wedding? To
you she was a queen as she stood
there by your side at the altar arrayed
in her loveliness and beauty. She
was as pure as an angel and the best
of womankind. And you were her
king. Into your keeping she confded
her best affections, her honor and her
highest joy. Your hearts went with
your hands when you plighted your
troth to be all the world to each other
in sickness and in health, in adversely
and in prosperity, so long as life
should last.
"Never was heaven nearer to you !;
never was the purpose more high or
holy to keep heaven in your hearts
and home perpetually. Just in so far
as you and she have kept yourselves
pure and faithful, just to that degree
has your hearthstone continued to be
patch Of Paradise. Only Gods sin
less ones in glory can realize one title
of the bliss Of truly welded Lore. If
between any welded ones here to-
night there has grown a coldness or
alienation, let there be an immediate
confession, and reconciliation. Get
together. Go into your chambers and
get down upon your knees side by
side, take each other by the hand and
each pray aloud prayer Of thanks
giving for each other and q prayer Of
earnest petition for each other that
God may quicken your mu.ual love
and make you more congenial, more
considerate, more consecrated to each
other. And, if you have children,
remember you can leave them houses,
lands, stocks, bonds, property Of all
sorts, but nothing Of the kind will be
q substitute for what they most desire,
namely, the priceless satisfaction that
arises from the assurance, My father
was good husband, faithful and true;
my mother was a good wife, loyal,
loving and constant; my parents
proved the honorableness and the
happiness Of Christian marriage, and
set their children an example which
they not only initiate, but commend,
to all who wish heaven on earth.

A Critical Time During the Battle Of
Santiago.

SICK Oh WELL, A RUSH NIGHT AND
DAY.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-05-06

Swift auxiliary cruisers are cruising
the ocean in search of the Spanish
fleet.
These facts all point to the theory
that there Is to be a union of the ar
mored ships under Admiral Sampson
with those under Commodore Schley at
a point in the ocean previously agreed
upon. and that the scouts are to report
to them their location and direction of
the Spanish ships. Ii Is not believed
to be possible that the Spanish troops
will be made able to avoid all of the
scouting vessels.
As soon as Rear Admiral Sampson
learns the whereabouts of the Spanish
fleet and the direction in which IL is
sailing, he can get under way to inter-
cept IL, throwing his scouts out In front
so as to cover a wide expanse of sea,
and following with his armored vessels
in line of battle and ready to give fight
as soon as they come in contact with
the enemy.
They believe that IL he has held a
westerly course he counts on being able
to reach Porto Rico and get his ves-
sells safely into the harbor of San Juan
before he can be attacked by an over
whelming American force. When he
left st. Vincent the American force was
divided. Rear Admiral Sampson ap-
parently was fully occupied with the
blockade of Cuban ports. and the only
vessels available to be sent against
him were those under Commodore
Schley.

New York. May 5.--The Mail and Ex-
press correspondent cables the follow
ing account of a landing of a small ex-
pedition from the tug Leyden in Cuba:
The tug left Key West Monday after
noon, and at daybreak yesterday her
men made the first attempt to land an
interpreter TO confer with a party Of
Cuban insurgents who were waiting on
the beach.
While this conversation was being
held the people of Leyden discovered
the Spanish cavalrymen coming down
from a hill toward the shore. as IL re-
connoitering. The Leyden signaled
danger to the Insurgents. and the lat
ter took to the bushes. Up to that
time eight cases of Winchester rifles
had been landed. Seeing the cavalry
men. the Leyden's boat returned along
side. lying about a quarter OF mile
OF shore. The cavalrymen levelled
their rifles at the tug. but hesitated
about firing. The insurgents in the
meantime had opened fire. driving the
cavalry back up the hill, the latter fir-
ing as they fed.
The cavalry returned shortly with re-
inforcements. They paid no attention
to the insurgents. but began a sharp
fusilade at the tug. Bullets flew around
the tug SO fast that the lookout aft
came down. The Leyden. seeing no
chance to land the ammunition just
then. picked up the men she had land
ed and steamed back to the flagship of
Havana, reporting II would be impossi-
BILE to land the cargo unless protected
The gunboat Wilmington was imme-
diately ordered to help the Leyden-
On returning to the landing point the
Wilmington helf OF shore about
mile and a half. the Leyden going close
into the beach. The tug was signalied
by the insurgents that the coast was
clear.
Manned by four men a boat then left
the Leyden with ammunition and two
large boxes of dynamite. When
short distance from the beach a man
aloft sang out that the cavalry were
coming down to the beach again in
strong force. They Leyden then sig
nailed the Wilmington, and the latter
came a trife closer to shore. and with
stern facing the beach fired four shots
from her four-inch rapid-:ire guns. The
cavalrymen retreated. and the boats
cargo was then landed.
While waiting To attack the cavalry
men the Wilmington fired at a block
house further down the beach. There
were some so Spanish regulars sitting
on top of this block house watching
the Leyden and the insurgents. The
wilmington's first shot went wild. The
second and last shot hit the bulls eye.
When the smoke cleared away the
block house. the men and all had dis

THE PHILIPPINES.
The United states Can Hold Them Till
the Debt Is Paid.

The United states Can Hold Them Till
the Debt Is Paid.
New York. May 5.-Frederick r. Cou-
dert, the eminent lawyer and jurist,
who represented the United States i'm
the Bering sea commission, in an in
terview, gave his views of the DISPOSE
tion of the Philippines as follows:
The United States has the right to
either hold the Philippines for indem-
nifty or to keep them altogether. as part
OF her territory, just as Germany took
Alsace-Lorraine in the Franco-Prussian
war. We may keep possession of them
until hostilities are ended. and then
their disposition will be one of the fac
tors in the making of peace. We would.
of course. have to respect the vested
rights of other nations in the islands. IL
they have any. These rights would in
clude coaling stations. liens or mort
cages on customs houses, and claims of
that nature. Spain cannot give us any
more than she owns.
IF We find sufficient indemnity nearer
home, for instance, in Cuba. we would
possibly content ourselves with holding
the Philippines during hostilities for use
as a military or naval base, but IL ade-
quate indemnity could not be procured
in this hemisphere, then we would hold
Manila until Spain pays up. Some ar
IduScIllcHt WOulu pc liiduc Nhcitos We
would keep possession for a certain
number of years while Spain was pay
ing their installments of the indemnity.
This is all a matter of contract and
agreement between nations.
In regard TO the selling or transfer of
the islands to another power by the
United States, that could not be done
until we had a valid title to the islands,
which can be obtained only by treaty
Of, x.ytt In. in ffh G1a do
the islands TO us. Otherwise we would
be selling a disputed title and the coun-
try that purchased it would have to
reckon with Spain. The law is the same
among nations in this respect as among
private persons. This law was observed
between France and Austria in 1859,
when Piedmont was turned over by
Austria to France. and by France hand
ed over to King Victor Emanuel
"The theory of modern times is that
a principality or province should not be
turned over to another without the con-
sent Of its people. and plebscite is
usually held, as in the case of Nice and
Savoy. Once having secured title from
Spain, however by a treaty of peace,
there could be no legal International OBJ
lection to our disposing of the islands,
either by ceding or selling them To any
nation we chose, or by offering them TO
tllt illSntcl pihhEAs bbt a bibNNtN-
ing would cause jealousy and bad feel
ing among the nations.
But this Is not a war of conquest.
and | do not think the United States
would resort to any such practice. But
we have a legitimate claim against
Spain for the expenses of the war, and
Spain must pay the costs. When this
is done the United States, believe. will
relinquish all claims to the Philippine
islands and return them to Spain"

sampson and schIey Will Hunt for the
spaniards.

New York. May 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Spain's
Atlantic fleet is not to be allowed to
reach Porto Rico OF to approach the
coast of the United States. Rear Ad-
miral Sampson has perfected plans for
meeting the enemy on the high seas
and giving battle at a time and place
of his own choosing. The successful
issue of this battle may depend I'm a
large measure upon the Spanish ad-
miral being kept i'm profound ignorance
of the intention of the American COM
mander and being given the least pos
sible time in which to escape or to
prepare for battle. Consequently the
secretary of the navy and Rear Ad-
miral Sampson have kept the details of
the plan of operations profound
secret. and as the time for the move
ment against the Spanish ships draws
near a censorship of kilograms from
Key West has been established. This
makes IL impossible to obtain direct
from Key West news OF the movement
of the armored ships under the imme-
diate command OF Admiral Sampson.
All that is definitely known here is
that four Of the most powerful ships
in Admiral SIMPSONS communicable
New York, the Indiana, the Iowa and
the Puritan--were ready for a pro-
longed sea voyage yesterday. Their
coal bunkers were filled to their ca
pacity and additional supplies of coal
were carried in bags on deck. Two
colliers. carrying 5000 tons of coal.
were ready to accompany them to sea.
Reports that these vessels have sailed
eastward to meet the Spanish ships
have not been confirmed.
At the same time Commodore

chusetts and the Texas. with two col
liers carrying 5000 tons OF coal. is
ready to sail at a moments notice.
