TWO EMPHASIZES
 TO GO TO MANILA.
Reasons Why the wsr Department De- cides to Send the Oregon and Indi-
 ana to Admiral Dewey.

NeW ork, Sept. l6.-A special to The Herald from Washington says: Secretary of the Navy Long states that the battleships Iowa and Oregon arc under orders to proceed to Manila via Honolulu to reinforce Rear Admiral Dewey's command.
 In directing them to touch at Hono- lulu the authorities were actuated by two inotives-the first to put them in central position where they could be available for any duty in tho Pacific which might be considered desirable, and tie second because they did not care to send endorsements to Rear Ad- miral Dewey before the armistice be- tween the United States and Spain ex. pired
 It Is expected in official quarters that the battleships, and tho five colliers which will accompany them, will be ready to sail by Monday next. Inc ships will not waste any time in making the voyage They will make few stops. and these only to coal and communicate with the department
 While believing there will ho ao inter- cational developments t. ,;haaso tho programme. tho authorities do not pro. pose to bo in ssrol, a lasitlaA. that tteY cannot modify iilsiractIons to tho ves- sels iii case of necessity and T ls fo. this reason they aro' to toueb and .ccclvo or dars

 So far as Germany s concerned, the authorities say there is nothing in her attitude to cause the belief that sho pro. poses to interfere with Any disposition of the Filipinos this g0ver'tmeut may e6e fit to make. It is appreciated however. that 1t will be the part Of wisdom fer the United States to put in the Pacihc A force so formidable as to discourage even tho suggestion of interference

not tormented. What kind of a gospel
did Jesus preach and demonstrate? See
him enter the temple with a scurge and
overturn the tables of the money
changers. What kind of a gospel did
Paul preach at Ephesus? See them
bring their books and burn them in the
street, and we read there was no SmaN
stir down that way This was the
power of the cross. Should l take and
incarcerate the fallen women of our city
in the prison cell? No: you cannot re-
form one in the prison cell. 1t must be
accomplished by the power of the cross
of Christ in love. What men want is to
come in contact with the saving grace
of God. Let the cell be the last resort !;
bring them under the influence of close
association of Christian people. Look
into our Jail and see the young criminal
confined in the cell with the old Grim
inal STEPPED in sin. In ten hours the
young criminal is a graduate in crime,
with the idea that the officers of the
law are his comman enemy, and every
mans hand is against him. When a
man comes forth from the prison is
there a helping hand extended to him
to win him or her back to virtue and
society? No. rather if he looks into a
store window the hand of the officer of
the law is on his collar. Take the
houses os bad repute and have all the
inmates arrested. Will this reform
them? by no means. You simply drive
them to other cities. Some have enter
tanned the idea that that was my meth
cd. Let the prison cell be the last re-
sort. We want to win them by love
which streams from the cross of Christ
and have a new nature implanted in
them. The need of our city is society
to prevent crime. and if you cannot pre-
vent it, then punish it and see that the
law is enforced to prevent it.
'1f Christ were to come into our city,
do you suppose he would go into the
largest churches and cali the deaconS
and elders around Him? They might
need it. II he called them it would be
to send them to call the lost of our city,
for he said: I came not to call the
righteous but sinners to repentance
When the woman was brought before
Him He said Hath no man condemned
thee? neither will I condemn thee: go
in peace and sin no more Let the cross
in which Paul gloritied be the drawing

The case is complicated one There
seems to be woman at the bottom of

was arrested a pretty little German girl,
who lived at the Philadelphia House,
SWore out a warrant against Macheray
charging him with eriminally asSauting
her. The case came up in the Police
Court, and, although he did not think
a strong case had been made out
court in this case was simply court
of inquiry and it was not i'm his prov

sent on to await the action of the grand

is expected that both Suender and

for felcnious shooting, and the latter
