union-Yankee Doodle and Dixie-the
favorite airs.
After a third of a century of peace
and prosperity, all the children of our
common country kneel at the altar of a
reunited faith The blue and the gray
lie in eternal slumber side by side.
Heroes all, they fell face to face, broth
er against brother, to expiate a ma
tion's sin. The lonely fresides and the
unknown graves; the memory of the
loved, the. yearning for the lost; the
are past recall. The wings of our weak
bars of fate.
But through the mingled tears that
fall alike upon the honored dead OF
both the north and south turn hopeful
eyes to that new future of prosperity
and power, possible only in the shelter
or the dear old flag. To the conqueror9
and the conquered, to the white man
and the black, to the master and the
slave, the result was Gods providence.
Under normal conditions, am Op-
posed to sermOnizing, to the reading of
homiltes, and to the discussion of pub
lie questions on Decoration Day. be-
Aeve our service should be love SER
vice; of prayer and praise and song,
that out of the heroic memories of the
past we should draw new inspirations
of patriotism and find new ardor for the
preservation Of the free institutions
which came to US through the baptism
of fire and blood. But my countrymen,
the first time in the history of Decora-
llOA LAY, we are AT war. once more
upon the soil of Old Virginia, the fed
eral bayonets are agleam- From day
to day, the boys in blue pass by; the
reveflle, the bugle call is heard even in
this city of the silent dead. This time,
thank God, the war is not sectional.
There are no brothers arrayed against
brothers; no Americans against Amer
leans. There is only one uniform in all
the land, one flag in all the sky, one
sentiment in the breasts of all the he
roes of the republic.
81 do not know when this war with
Spain will cease. do not know what
sacrifices we may yet be called upon to
make; do not know how many head

mothers heart may mourn do lot
know how many affairs may be desc
lated But I do know that whatever
the cost, 1.-The delivering of the new world
from the barbarity and inhumanity Of
Spain's merciless despotism, will be
worth it all. I do know that this ac-
compHshment of Gods great purpose
will bring to the American people, Gods
choicest blessing and reward. And I
have faith to believe that from above

at the anchorage it's commander has
chosen. 1t has been the opinion of
Rear Admiral Sampson, that Admiral
Cervera would seek either Santiago or
Cienfuegos, as a naval refuge and base
and the movements Of the two Ameri-
can sQuadrons has proceeded upon this
basis.
Strong and effective as are the Span
ish ships, representing as they do the
flower of the Spanish navy, every ar
gument in naval strategy compelled
Admiral Cervera, either to seek the
shelter of the close harbor of Santiago,
or return to Spain and he chose to
make his stand at Santiago. That he
would court a fight in the open sea is
an idea which has never been enter
tanned in American naval circles, al
though his ships, without exception,
have high qualities, owing to their
great speed, for such a contest. On
the other hand it was believed the
Spanish admiral would attempt to run
into San Juan de Porto Rico, but the
fact of the recent bombardment of the
forts of that harbor, coupled with the
great possibility that Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet would be met if he at
tempted to enter that harbor, left the
Spanish admiral only one alternative,
and he adopted it by going to Santiago,
where it is presumed he has been able

morning. He expressed the belief that
the whole fleet was within Santiago
harbOr, but he did not actually see two
of the big cruisers, the Vizcaya and the
Oquendo.
Like the commodore, the naval Off
GERS here are confident that these two
cruisers are in the harbor for they say
it would be very bad policy for ad-
rniral in Cervera's position to divide
his fleet. Even if it should prove to be
true, however, that the Vizcaya and
OQuendo are at large, they can do lit
tie harm unless their commanders have
arrived at that desperate state of mind,
when they are willing to submit their
ships to certain destruction for the sake
of inf1icting some small injury on one
of the unprotected vessels of the Amer
lean navy or for the glory of running
the blockade. The navy department
has taken note of the reported arrival
of the torpedo boat destroyer Terror al
San Juan. They say she has made her
last cruise under the Spanish flag, from
which it is inferred one of the Ameri-
can cruisers is already on her way to
bottle her u pin San Juan harbOr.
1t is believed that Sampson. confident
of Schley's ability to hold the Spaniards
in Santiago harbor is now rapidly pre-
pairing to convoy the military expedi-
tions. the starting of which cannot be
deferred much longer. Sampson has
reinforced Schley's fleet with some of
the best ironclads, the Iowa for In

Outbursts of Patriotism at the
Churches Yesterday.

Toronto Ont, May 30.-An extraor-
binary outburst of friendship for the
United States and in favor of Anglo
Saxon unity was witnessed in nearly
all Toronto churches and many
churches throughout Ontario yester-
day.
The Central Congregational church,
Bond street, had more than 1000 peo-
pie at each service, and was a sample
of others throughout the city Pictures
of the queen and President Mckinley
were prominently displayed above the
pulpit, and the building was profuseIy
decorated with Union Jacks, stars and
stripes and Cuban flags. Many of the
congregation carried small stars and
stripes and union jacks.
A letter was written by Colonel Sc
well, United States consul here, in
favor of the most friendly relations be-
tween the two countries. The consul
would have been present and spoken
had he not been suddenly called to Buff
falo. His letter was received with
cheers, as were all references by the
preacher, the Rev. Morgan Wood, to
Anglo-Saxon unity and closer and more
friendly relations with the states.
Resolutions this line were unan-
imously adopted and copies were or
dered to be sent to Lord Salisbury and
President Mckinley. The vast con-
gregation Joined heartily in singing
God Save the Queea" and 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner
At Massey Music hall there was a
military service conducted by the Rev.
G. Ellerid of Austin, Tex. He preached
a sermon which was an eloquent plea
for the closest possible relations be-
tween the two countries, which he be-
lieved would be best secured by the fed
Grafton of Britain and her colonies. He
predicted that the errors and animosi-
ties of the past might be forgotten in
the great work which lay before the
two countries in Hberating the op-
pressed and throwing wide the COM
merce of the world to the enterprise of
the Anglo-SaxOn race.

to coal, clean and repair, and is in a
position to accept either the conditions
imposed by the blockade, or the issue
of a fight in the inner harbor after the
American fleet has forced the passage.
1t has been thought the campign
against Admiral Cervera might now be
ended by demolishing the forts at the
entrance of the harbor of Santiago,
blOckading the channel and iSOlating
the Spanish fleet until the other prob
lens of the war are worked out. This,
however, is not in the line with Amer
lean policy and simply accepting the
view of the situation taken by the ma
val experts here, Admiral CerVera will
have to accept battle at once. It is
confidently expected that a hard blow
will be struck within three or four days
and that the result will be known to
the world at the expiration of tnat
time. 1t has not been disclosed wheth-
er Commodore Schley is to be reinforc-
ed but it would not be surprising if
some additional ships were sent to him.
Washington, May 3O.-There appears
to be no reason now why the military
invasion of Cuba should not begin as

was with deep qualification that the
secretary of the navy last night receiV-
ed a message from Commodore Schley
that finally removed from the field of
conjecture any question as to the loca-
ton of Cervera's Spanish fleet. The
cOnmOdore'S telegram was brief. but to
the point. The text of his dispatch has
not been given out but the substance
has been made public. The commodore
said that he had sighted the Spanish
fleet in Santiago harbor. The depart
