LIVING VOICES"
The Rev. William p. Brush's Inter-
estinr Lecture in ST. PauI's Church.

esting Lecture in St. Paul's Church.
The Rev. William p. Brush, of st.
PauTa Protestant Episcopal Church, Dun
can avenue. delivered a lecture in the
chapel of that church, last evening, en-
titled. Living Voices A series of these
lectures is to be delivered, as Mr.. Brush
saws. s.for the general benefit of the peo-
pie of the parish An admission fee was
charged, n the lecture was enjoyed by
a good sized and appreciative audience.
The lecture was practically'a review of the
ethical forces of the world that lave in
fuenced men and a judgment of the re-
suits. It's object was the holding of the
moral nature Of humanity. The lecturer
eloquently compared the results of the
light of Christianity with those of Bud
hism. Northumberland and other re-
ligious forces, and incidentally wove an
argument in favor of the Anglo4Saxon all
lance. The voice of God, he maintained
toward the close of his brilliant effort,
had lifted the veil Of darkness and broken
the shackels of fear and superstition. 1t
had made US free. politically, morally and
spiritually.
Mr.. Brush compared the civilization Of
England and America with that of Egypt,
China. India and Russia, quoting. the
OD1flOIS QI eI1litttll lldNGlGIS dtlQ lIil1h-
ers. and that of Tolstoi, especially with
reference to the condition of the Russian
peasantry.. No nation, he declared, that
peasantry to enjoy no better existence
the voice Of God. The true symbol Of
Christianity, he said. was not a cruci1x,
but an empty cross and an empty grave

The lecturer mildly criticized the ten
dency Of women to evote too much time
to club life. There had been considerable
agitations of late. he said. over the proper
sphere of women. Agitation usually de-
noted that something was out of place..
Ii was like a railroad train Off the track.
Woman he maintained, had q grand mis-
sion to perform for which she Is adapted,
and which, il he will, can raise human
life to- a higher plane than that of the
present. Her especial mission. Mr.. Brush
maintained, was the moral education of
the young. She should bring to bear her
ideal of morality on the mind of the
vnl1np lie she would hold her influence on
narfh as never before. The speaker cited
fhe influence of the Jewish Greek and
R-oruan%nothers on their respective races.

MADRID, May 13.-An official dis
patch from San Juan de Porto Rico
says:
1.-The American squadron was repuls-
ed off Porto Rico. Although eleven
warships bombarded the place the at
tackers were gloriously beaten back.
The Spanish batteries, armed with six
inch Krupp guns, were especially eff

This alleged victory of the Spaniards
has aroused great enthusiasm here.

island. These troops were, Gen. Garcia
informed him, well supplied with arms,
but lacked ammunition. About 5000
were then following a body Of Spanish
soldiers down to the Ceuta river.
Gen. Garcia expressed his joy at the
intervention of the United States and
asked Lieut.. Rowan to suggest how
the Cubans could cooperate with the
Americans. Lieut.. Rowan told him
that their services would be invaluable
alone for their great knowledge of the
topography of the island.
When Lieut.. Rowan left the insur-
gent camp he was accompanied by Gen.
Henry Colazo and Chief of Staff Col.
Hernandez. They struck across coun-
try and came out on the north coast,
near Manati, on May {. Throughout
the journey across the island, which
was made at the widest part, Lieut..
Rowan and his companions did not en-,
counter one Spanish soldier. They took

Nassau. There We're six men on board

of the lieutenant's conferences with

In both offensive power and armor to
the Spanish war vessels, though she
might hold her own by superior man
agement and gunnery.
If Sampson has taken his whole fleet,
the monitors Amphitrite and the others

Of power against the Spanish, allowing
the cruisers Montgomery, Detroit and
Marblehead as force sufficient to take
care of the Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyers.
The latter, however, are almost UNI

some naval officers fear that they are
much more dangerous foes than the
ordinary strategists allow in their cal
culations.
The naval attaches OF the several en-

A few minutes later the signal "Be
