We are not Enough in Earnest.

Observation has convinced me
hat as individuals we are not sui.
|ticiently in earnest in trying to con
vert others to Prohibition. III we
wish to influence man we must
first show him we are terribly in
earnest. Then Il our Language and
manner are mild we may be severe
Is possible in the way OF argument.
We now recall some instances where
)ur friends became very angry at
US. but later on came to US and
With a warm clasp of the hand con-
fessed their wrong and in the most
,olemn manner pledged themselves
to prohibition. These are usually
proiessed Christians, and it is from
tha. source chiefly we are obtaining
new recruits.
However ministers and members
may deny it, it is plain to be seen
in this part of the state that the
church is fast losing its influence
over the world. And it is Just as
discernable that one of the main
reasons i the churches completely
with the saloon. The Supreme
court has decided over and over
again that the saloon can not exist
without law, and yet Christian men
will vote every time to legalze it.
When they do this, there are two
hundred and forty thousand saloon
keepers who, if they could get to
the Christian, would take him by
the hand and say: "lou are a
.Ifriend to me and my businesss. "
No wonder the world stands back
Iappaled when it sees b'tween five
land six millions of Christian voters
on election day walking arm in arm
with the saloon keepers and work
ling for the same end. While the
christian prays, "Thy kingdom
/. come" and votes for the devil to
stay, it is plain which one is an
swered. No man who votes to leg
aIize the saloon has the right to say
one word against, it for he is himself
father to it. He votes for man tc
get drunk and commit murder.
He votes for the husband to turn
his wife and the little ones out in
1.-THE storm. He votes to fill the
states prisons, the town and county
Ijails. He votes to pauperlze his
,lfellow men by thousands and thus
to fill up the homes for the poor.
He votes that people may become
insane and all that insanity means.
lie votes to keep people out of the
kingdom of light and to chain them
down in darkness. In a word,
while he processes to love the Lord
and his people, be votes for the
devil and all his satanic manners.
No wonder q church made up OF
such members $ losing its influence
for good over the world. On this
Subject we find ourselves in perfect
sympathy with Bro. Hogan. II the
moral standard of political party
is so low we can not approve 1t,
how can we consistently remain in
a religious organization whose moral
standard is the same?

SPAIN'S MANILA FAKES

Madrid, July II 90 a. m).-An official
dispatch from Manila dated July 10 says
the garrisons and Spanish outposts have
conflicts daily with the insurgents. who
are receiving numerous reinforcements.
The dispatch adds:
I'VE have inflicted great losses upon
them. The Americans dare not attack
Manila, fearing to find themselves con-
fronted by the rebels and unable to
withstand them. They also fear that if
Aguinaldo's forces attack the town the
populace Will join them"
A dispatch from Governor General Au-
gust dated from Manila, says that the
insurgents are divided into two parties.
one advocating independence and the
other autonomy. He adds that majority
of the inha bitants of the Philippines are
opposed to the American occupation Of
the islands. and he expresses the belief
that by the concession of reforms the
confidence Of the natives can still be
gained.

TO WITHDRAW FROM CUBA

Washington, July 14-Although the re-
ported appearance of few cases of yell
low fever among our troops a. the front
of Santiago presented a perplexng prob
lem to the president and his advisers, It
is almost certain TO result in the temper
airy removal Of practically all our land
forces from the island as promptly as
possible after the final surrender of Cen
eral Torars army is effected. In this con-
nection the question of Withholding for
the present the expedition now being fit
ted out against Porto Rico has been under
serious consideration but up 10 this time
no positive conclusion, ii is thought. has
been reached. Investigation with respect
to the climatic conditions at San Juan,
however. has convinced the officials that
there would be practically no danger
to our troops there from yellow fever
which annually prevails in nearly all
parts of Cuba. The city of San Juan,
which is built on high ground is said 70
be exceptionally clean, for a Spanish
town. The water is said TO be good. and
all things considered. it is not believed
the present plans for the invasion viii
be interfered with. None of the troops
now in front of Santiago, it IS understood.
will take part in this expedition. but will
be brought north to return in October,
when it is expected the dangers from
Cuban fever will have passed.

Playa Del Este, Guantanamo Bay. JULY
B.-The American position is now consid-
cred by General Miles quite as stnrog and
! effective as the lack of heavy artillery
! will permit. The plan for tomorrow CThur-
| sday) is to try to flank the extreme west
! Of the Spanish line by landing the Sixth
/ Massachusetts and Sixth Illinois at ca
banas, two miles west of Ell MORO. The
/ attack of the strong battery in position
! there is 10 be made under cover of a heavy
! bombardment of the Spanish centre
If the line is broken at this point, Gen
eral Lawton, on our extreme right, viii
! probably crush the Spanish left and an
/ entry be thus effected. The command of
this expedition was given by General
Miles to General Guy Henry, but the lat
ter was unable to make connections with
the auxiliary cruiser Yale, which carries
the Sixth Massachusetts, and Sixth Iii
nois. Therefore, General Garrettson viii
| command.
General belief is expressed among army
officers here that should the bombard-
ment have the desired effect the anxiety
70 end the campaign in this vicinity may
lead the American authorities 10 accept
General Tolar's proposition.
Everyone feels that Santiago is the only
barrier now in the way of swift des-
cent on Porto Rico.

WHAT IHE IERMS Involve

Washington, July 14-News from the
front was awaited with the greatest anx'
! iety all morning.
! Overshadowing even the interest felt in
| in the condition Of the fever patients was
| the subject Of surrender. The dispatches
from Shafter and from Miles received last
evening made It evident that in the opin-
ion Of these officers the end was near il
was not until about Il o'clock that word
came from the front that the Spaniards
had proposed a commission 10 adjust th7
final terms Of surrender This was said
to be no novelty in warfare and especially
in such cases as this. where complex con-
siderations were Involved.
The propositions 10 remove the Spanish
army in the province of Santiago divided
as itw as between several towns remote
from one another; 10 secure the removal
OF dangerous ob<Jruct.ons in ports, aud
TO arrange the details of transportation
of this army involved so many factors
that considerable time might very prop
ery be expended in adjusting them. In
some quarters ii was declared that the
spanish proposition was simply another
scheme on the part of General Toral tc
gain time, he being fuIly AVA Of the In
comfortable and dangerous position Of thc
American troops from a san airy point Of
view and realizing that every days delay
but added to their raisc-y.
However, if that was his purpose, he
seemed not likely to succeed in his OBJ
ject Secretary Alger declared most en-
II
granted for a decision upon the main
ropostion-surrender that if by
noon today the Spanish general had not
declared his willingness to do this the at
tack on Santiago would be resumed. It
was presumed that if Toral accepted the
main principle Of surrender with the OK
pectation of being transported to Spain
with his army. there would be no objec-
ton to the appointment of commissioners
to adjust the details Of the surrender.
An enormonus number of transports
would be required to carry out our part
Of the obligation. Some idea of the size
of that feet may be gathered from the
mere mention of the difficulties that Shat
ter experienced in landing in Cuba his
first detachment of 15,Oo0 men, though he
had at Tampa all the conveniences Of a
well equipped American port. 1t is rough
ly estimated that there are in Santiago
province-and it is presumed that me
terms Of surrender viii include the whole
province-not less than 10000 Spanish sol
diers, and to transport these men to
Spain, allowing for the presence on each
of the transports of a suitable guard
from the American army. there would be
required no less than forty-fve large
steamers-a number in excess of the en-
tire fleet Of transports now available in
southern waters.
Surgeon General Sternberg sta ted today
that he had received no further reports
as to the health CT the soldiers in camp
at Santiago. He regarded this as a hope
full sign. taking it for granted that there
had been considerable extension of yell
low fever. the fact would have been re-
ported to him.
