Christians must either learn to tolerate
polygamy or give up forever the glori-
Gus hope of resting in Abraham s
bosom. That which Gcd approves-and
so strikingly approves-must be not
only rot bad but positively good, pure
and holy.
Statement of Roberts Case.
Notwithstanding this. however. the
hand of the Gentiles was laid so heavy
upon the people of the Lord that in his
mercy God permitted them to cease
therefrom eXpediency, and true to the
pledges given by the church no polyga-
nous marriages have since been cele-
brated by the church. But not even
the church can take away from a man
the wives it has already given him.
They are his for time and for eternity,
and Isthink the tgreat. broad-minded
ana just American people will not re-
qpirs mar to Gest off, the wives he
has. NTH -~whonrIle has lived nor TO
abandon his Children -
Can See No Legal Obstacles.
At the most, Roberts says, his offense
is unlawful cohabitation, and he re-
marked: Il am here and the courts are
open. If any enc wants to test the
point the way is clear, 1t has been
urged by some that Roberts, owing to
the operation of the Edmunds-Tucker
is legally barred from taking his seat
in congress. In regard TO this Roberts
says he has had the best legal advice
obtainable. which convincs him that
there are no legal obstacles in the way
OF his taking the seat.
Roberts Says 1t Is Largely Fake.
Salt Lake City. Utah, Dec. 29.-Rep-
resentative-elect Roberts was shown the
Salt Lake dispatch to an eastern paper
claiming TO be an interview with him
on church matters. Roberts said he
had not given the reporter of the paper
anything of the kind for publication.
He said he was called upon for state
ment and told the reporter that he had
nothing to say on the subject. In con-
versation with the reporter Roberts
said he called attention TO the distinc-
ton between polygamy and unlawful
cohabitationi and said there had been
no polygamous marriages since 1890.
Further than the substance OF this, he
says. he said nothing that is contained
in the alleged interview.

.COWARDLY SPANISH TREACHERY
1T DELAYED DEPARTURE OF
THEIR OWN FLOTILLA.
Deliberate Disabling of the Engines
By the Engineers, Who Did Not
Want to Cross the Sea.

st. Louis. April 22-The following dis
patch has just been received at the Asso-
ciated Press Office in this city from the
Tribune. Galveston, Tex:
1T is reported by Captain Barnes of the
British steamer Astoun, which arrived
here today from Los Palmas. Canary ISL
ands. that the delay of the Spanish torpe-
do flotilla, which was attributed TO rough
seas. was in fact due to the deliberate dis
aiding of the engines by the engineers,
who did not want to cross the sea Re
pairs. it was stated, were made by Total
machinistS. as the engineers could not be
trusted
Captain Barnett says the torpedo f1otilla
did not want to encounter a United States
fleet if it could be avoided. They will
likely keep out of the track Of our vessels,
and may content themselves with picking
up an occasional prize. The torpedo flo
tilla left Las PalmaS March %, and their
destination was unknown.
A disabled American barkentine at Las
Palmas from Philadelphia, was undergo
ing repairs by Spanish dry dockmen, but
the latter were delaying the work in the
hope of Selling her upon the outbreak of
war. Her captain is Mr.. McDonough. He
carried a crew of nine men and had his
wife with him. Great crowds of Spaniards
would gather about the American craft,
hurl vile epithets at the crew and cap
tain and insult the United States and its
flag.
The only Americans at Las Palmas are
the American captain and those on board
his ship. Captain Barnett expresses fear
for their safety.

TO THE RESCUE OF HEOREGON
FLYING SQUADRON MAY GO TO
SOUTH AMERICA.
Believed That Spain Intends to Cap
ture the Battleship and Govern
ment Is Uneasy.

New York, April pa special to the
Times from Washington says: Commo-
dore Schley will probably sail Saturday
with his flying squadron. bound, per
haps, to the south. He will, it is said.
go in search of the battleshiD Oregon
ard the gunboat Marietta, about which
the navy department is very deeply
concerned. The department has been
considering the plan of dispatching this
squadron to the eastern coast of South
America, to meet the two ships that
have been coming from the Pacific for
the last month, and whose exact where
abOutS is not known at this time 1t is
feared that the Spaniards are looking
for them, and that the torpedo boat
TemerariO and another torpedo boat
are watching for the American ships
somewhere in southern waters.
The Oregon was ordered to go to
Magellan and join the Marietta there.
The gunboat was several days in adj
vance of the big battleship, and it is
quite probable that both of them are
now on this side of the Horn, on their
way to MontaVideo, their next cOaling
station Together they would make a
formidable fighting force, and it would
take the PelayO and a. good armored
cruiser to defeat them.
1t seems more than probable that
Spain viii not foregO this opportunity
to strike telling blow against this
country, and that she has already de-
spatched several vessels TO look after
the Oregon and the Marietta If the
flying squadron is to take care of them,
it viii have to move very quickly, as
the Spaniards at the Cape de Verde
Islands are practically between the
American ships of the squadron and
the two voyagers from the Pacific.
