The Case of EmbexzIer Martin Had
Nothing to Do With IL.

The Rev. DR.. Henry NJ Wharton. who

Brastly Baptist Chl rch in baltimore. and
subsequently recalled it. is much annoyed
over recent publications which purport.d
to give the reasons for his resignation.
These announcements declared that the res
1gnauon was caused by a clash with the
trustees conc cerning the conviction of
Treasurer Robert II. Martin for embezzliug
the funds of the Columbian University:
that he had appealed to the judge in Mar
tins behalf; that he had offered to make
good 20 the trustees of the university the
amount emb. .zzled by Martin. ard. finally.
that he intended to leave the Baptist de-
nomination on account of the Martin case.
Dr. W harton declares all these assertions
to be unfounded and untrue.
My friendship with Mr.. Martin has not
been intimate, he said. Il do not say this

Points Out the Dark Side of War in an Address
 at Princeton.
Advises Americans to Refrain From New and Stran6e
 Adventures.

this standpoint war is a hateful thing, which we should avoid as antagonistic to the objects of our national existence. as threatening demoralization of our national character and as obstructive to our national destiny. If you believe this you should stand bravely for your belief, even though a shower of stupid calls may fill the air.
 The great American general of this country after leading immense armies to victory and after having served two terms as President, said: I never went into battle willingly. or with enthusi- asm. I was always glad when battle was over. l never want to command another army. I take no interest in armies
 When he wrote Let us have peace he gave to his countrymen of this fu- ture generation the most inspiring ex- ample of greatness and true American citizenship. Sherman, who marched. to the sea and had his full share of the glories and the triumphs of the war, gave his own description of it in his own style, when he said, War is he'll
 We are told by the brave and gal lant Admiral Dewey, whose recent dar- ing achievements and successes in war have added new glory to his country's name and aroused the enthusiasm of every American, while waiting in a foreign port for the command that sent him to the scene of his victory, wrote these words to his sister: But, after all, war is a terrible thing and some way out of the dilemma may be found without resorting to it
 While suggesting to you the for bidding traits of war, I should be guilty of an attempt to mislead if I fail to promptly remind you that there are conditions wh-ch not only justify war. but make resort to it duty. No na- tion, however peacefully inclined, and whatever the consequences may be, can determine that it will in no circum- stances engage in war. Bad as it is, and deplorable as its incidents are, no Government can refuse war at the risk of imperiling it's existence or sacrifice ing the rights and interests it holds in trust for its peo-le and for humanity and civilization. Of course, we can not be entirely exempt from the condi- tions which may force a nation into war any more than an individual can b. exempt from the incidents that may force the most peaceful man to a per sonal encounter.

WHY SANTIAGO IS
 TO BE CAPTURED.
Present Movement Only One of a Series Against Cuba's Prin-
 cipal Ports

WASHINGTON, June 21-Now that the army is about to set foot on Cuban soil, the purpose of this move on San tlago was pointed out to-day by an army official fully acquainted with the general plan of action. He said Santia- go de Cuba was not to be made a mfli- tary base of operations, as it was not adapted for such use. Being far re- moved from the rich and populous portion of the island, without railroad or ordinary highways for transporting munitions of war westward the town would be practically useless as a basis of military supplies. For that reason. he said, there had never been an idea of occupying this place as the first base and then gradually extending op- erations westward. On the contrary. this occupation of Santiago was but an incident of the general plan of occupy- ing several points, and in due time there would be landings at the west end of Cuba just as there had been at the east end. Each point of landing would serve for the time being as a base for the surrounding country.
 The occupation of Santiago, he point ed out, would accomplish several incl dental but very desirable ends First of these was the capture of Admiral Cervera's fleet, which would always remain menace and an uncertain fac tor until entirely disposed of Another point which had come UT was the re- lief of Hobson and his brave band of associates, and the raising of the Amer ican' flag on Cuban soil, whether at the east or the west end, would have a powerful moral influence, alike stimu- lating to our own people and our fight ing forces and diSheartening to Spain The humiliation to Spain was In hay ing our men and our flag planted on her soil, whether the particular point was to be used as a base of operations or not It would also convey notice to the world at large that the United States was entrenched on the island of Cuba as well as in the Philippines.

TO RAISE PER CAPITA TAXES

DENVER, June 21.-Important action was taken this afternoon by the council of the General Federation of Women's s Clubs on the increased taxation of clubs.

Decisive Blows to Be Struck Rapidly in Spain's West

day was confined to the one brief dis patch from Captain Allen of the signal service to General Greedy stating that the troop transports had arrived. The landing itself may take considerably longer than was anticipated and off, cials believe that at least three days more will be required before the troops are on shore and in any sort of organ ized condition. General Miles said this morning:
 T anticipate it will take at least rty-eight hours to disembark our troops and establish a convenient base of supplies sufficiently strong to make the campaign in a strange country pos sible and safe. We are all compara- lively ignorant of Admiral Sampson s plans. He will be governed by circum- stances"
 Captain James Allen of the staff of Major General Miles, who was recently stationed at Key West as censor, has been appointed to take charge of the censorship at Guantanamo. The Guantanamo cable is regarded as of the greatest importance to the Government, and the cable station and telegraph line will be carefully. guarded.
 The officials of the Navy Department were not deeply concerned over the re- port from Hongkong that the Chinese authorities had ordered the United States dispatch-bOa Zafiro out of Chi nese waters without allowing her to take supplies to Dewey. The reason for this unconcern was the conviction that the cruiser Charleston and the trans ports have already reached Manila car rying quantity of just such supplies as the American fleet there would most require. Then, too. it was felt that the Zafiro had already been treated with consideration and probably obtained all the privileges to which she was entitled in Chinese waters.
