ONE SHIP GIN BE sAEEn.
Important Report of the Naval Board of
 Survey.


 [Copyrlght 1898, The Associated Press.
 Off Santiago de Cuba, July 10, via Kingston, Jamaica, July il, 11:30 a. m The board of survey appointed to ex- anime the Wrecks of the Spanish ships and to inquire into the nature of their injuries report that only one ship can possibly be saved. She is the Infanta Maria Teresa, the former flagship of Admiral Cervera. The hull of the Cris- tobal Colon shows that she was only hit six times and then cnly by shells of 8-inch, 5-inch and 6-pounder calibre. This verif1es the story that the Cristo- bal Colon surrendered because he saw she could not get away from the Brook lyn and Oregon and to continue the battle meant sacrifice of life. It was found that the brass plugs of the large guns and the bolts and locks of the small arms had been thrown overheard
 The Vizcaya showed that she had been riddled by the Brookly and Ore gon. She had not been struck by pro jectiles larger than S-inches. There was no sign of her having been struck by shell of 12 or 13-inches. Her up- per works were riddled by one and six pounder shells, Nearly all of these shells exploded inside the superstruc- lures and must have driven the men from the guns, This confirms the story of Captain Eulate that the Brooklyn's s secondary battery fire was SC teffiitbt teeffff iitbtg that the men deserted their guns. The survey board arrived at the wrecks of the Almirante Oquendo and Infanta Maria Teresa last night at dark and the work consequently was postponed.
 A singular fact noted on the four ships is that all the guns were trained forward and the story that they were all directed to fire on the Brooklyn is therefore shown to be true. The mag azines of all the ships exploded and the result was to blow up the decks and so completely pulverize the hull or turn the keel up as was in the caste of the battleship Maine. This is looked upon as being important

GROWTH OF CONGREGATIONAL

showing for Three Years, as Given in
 the report of the Secretary of the
 Council.
 The growth of the Congregational boy during the last three years is shown in the following statistics, which were prepared by the Rev Dr, Henry A. Hagen of Auburndale. Mass, secretary of the National Congrega- tlonal council, and presented at the opening meeting of that body at it's triennial session in Portland, Ore.
 The council represents to-day 5,614 churches, gain in the three years of 2IS, or 9l each year The number of new churches was $50, but the gain has been reduced by PIT which have ceased to he or to be reported,
 The grouping of these gains by three sections, dividing the states approXi- mately by the east line of Ohio and west line of Missouri, shows that the gains were 93 in the east, 97 in the in- terior, and S3 in the west.
 The total membership stands 625,S64 Of this number 329,29 are in the east, 220,242 in the interior, and 76,327 in the west. In other words, the east has more than one-half the interior more than third, and the west less than one-eighth
 The additions on confession made a total of 9S,564, and are grouped, 37,068 in the east, 43,S45 in the interior, and 1S,151 in the west. The removals by I nt ret LBS in the interior, and 1,766 in the west, The infant baptisms show a gain of nearly 1000, being in total 56,- 1 S66; 17,261 in the east, 13,224 in the in- terior, and 5,S41 in the west. The churches report membership in young peoples societies of 216,04S a gain in three years of 31, 900 These members are distributed 104 ,257 in the east, 79,- 56S in the interior and 32,21S in the west. The Sunday school total stands at 6S5,704, gain of only 7,769,as against gain of 57.000 in the previous trien- mum, If the comparison is extended to include the membership of the mis- sion Sunday schools the result is not more favorable, Instead of a small gain, the result becomes a loss of 1,61l. 1 The Sunday schools gains are divided, 1 4,S7S in the east, and ASIA in the in- terior, with loss of 1,7S1 in the west. In benevolences. also, the balance is on the wrong side. The total for the three years is S6,761, $50, falling off of | $4S2752 from the previous period. To the total the east gave $4,909,937, the 1 interior $1 ASA 621, and the west $416,260. l The east and the west show a small gain of about $20,000 each, while the 1 falling off comes from the interior, of | $523,754. The east would have shown a similar loss but for one large gift reported by one church. Home ex- penses reach G,232, 559, divided, in the l east S11 ,645, in the interior $6,461,- | 270, in the west s2,112,S40 These sums are less than in the last report, in the east $526,359 the interior $200,585, and in the west $236,0 ,03S.
