The entire crop of bananas was swept

a fair average.
1t was the seyerest gale for ten wears
but as game is plentiful no fear as TO
starvation is apprehended. 1t will never
be known what the exact number drown

The steamer Alexander NJ Lawrence

uninJured, and proceeded to Roatan.

scandals were referred 10 by the Rev. DR..
r. Heber Newton, in his sermon in All
ory of those who died for their country
in the war with Spain.
In times of peace he said. ''the men
who fought so nobly for their country
were the kind of men to be met with on
street cars and in the common pursuits
of everyday life. The war proved that
there is no fear of degeneracy in the
splendid types of American manhood"
He said it was shame to the nation
that better provision had not been made
for the men at the front and in camp.
Excuses have been made before the COM
mission investigating that matter that
the men had not complained. This IS so
much the worse. he said. and only goes
TO show the patience OF men. They all
felt that their country needed them, and
they showed their heroism BY doing their
duty in the face of all odds.
Thanks should be given that the war
had united the whole country. he said
The rich had forgotten that they We're
rich and the poor had forgotten their pow
erty. and had fought side by side for
their country. All class prejudice had
been laid aside
He declared that the war had shown the
''rottenness of the body polite" and that
a canker had been eating into its very
vitals." One of the great departments of
the nation had been shown to be honey
comoed with politics and political in
huence.
In the camps as we'll as in Cuba. he
SAID, everything had been bungled by the
War Department, and utter corruption and
dlshonor had been shown to exist. The
blame for this evil condition of affairs
could not be placed on any one man. The
whole system had been shown to be rot
ten. Appointments had been made in the
army through political influence 1t is i'm
possible that a nation should face such
outcome of the spOils system, he declared
