The vessel arrived on Thursday at the
Delaware Breakwater, after passage Of
- days from Passages, Spain. As soon
A. Collector Of Port Cooper received word
ui the bark's arrival he ordered Custom
Inspector Allen to Hook, and the captain
was made acquainted with the fact that
war existed between this country and
Spain, and he was informed that the law
regulating the sailing OF Spanish vessels
would not permit him to load oil for
Spain.
The captain acquiesced and said that
he would comply with the Presidents IS
proclamation, but he was sorry that the
war was on. A majority of the sailors on
the boat are Spaniards, and all of them
fear that their lives are in peril. They
refuse to leave the ship, despite the as.
surance that the collector has issued
.recial orders for their protection.

HispanO.American War in Churches.

Rev. W. A. Wallng preached last
night at the Delaware Avenue Baptist
Church, on the subject "Manila Vic
tory" Text, CIV. Psalm "Not unto us,
Oh Lord, not unto us" etc.
He brought out in his discourse that
the Lord was with the most righteous
bellgerent nation, and has ALWAYS been
since the foundation of the earth. He
sighted many instances duriug his
sermon of ancient wars, When nation
which had been righteous and had for
gotten God had fallen before a more
righteous nation. He said France, once
mighty nation, was on the verge of
calamity, and at this time they were
crying for srmcting more substantial
;hnn the religion which now prevails
ia tl!cir country, and that unless sud-
den change takes place France will soon
be nation of an lent history only.
He said dewey is q great man and
deserves praian. And not too much can
be said Of him, but Dewey didn't forget
Gind, and ~ Il nation let us say, Not
unto us, Oh Lord, not unto u.s." etc.

INTERNAL DISSENSI0N
Exists in Delaware Avenue Baptist
Church, But DR.. WalIing Does
Not Intend Resigning.

A slight friction exists between two
factions of Delaware Avenue Baptist
Church.
1t is claimed by majority of the
members that certain improvements are
needed in the Sunday school, and by
them resolution was caused to be
brought before the Board of Trustees
favoring the expenditure of a sum OF
money in the making of these improve.
ments.
Though proposed and sanctioned by a
majority OF the membership this propo-
sitlon was vetoed by the Trustees, and
therein arose cause for dissention.
There has been for some unknow'
reason a tendency to represent r.
trouble as existing between the p o
Rev. W. A. Walling, D. d., ais hr
wife and their congregation. Mrs Wall,
ing entered the pre.ent fficulty as Il
mediator, and offered to make the
needed Improvements at her own ex.
pelse.
Dr. Walling stated last night that il
was not his intention to resign, as had
been stated i'll one of the weekly papers
of this city. In connection with resig-
nation, DR.. Walling stated that his ex-
pressions in that direction were the same
now as they have always been. that
he would not remain pastor OF any
church wherein there existed internal
dissension.
DR.. Walling has lcen paster of Della
ware Avenue Baptist Church for four
years, and a vast Improvement has in
that time been made in the church in all
directions.
DR.. Walling leaves today for Rochester,
N. y, Where he will attend the COM
mencement of the Baptist Theological
Seminary. While away he will also
attend the May meeting or National

Henry JensOn's Graphic Pen Picture OF
the Great Battle before Santiago.

Henry Jensen one of the heroes
Of Santiago arrived in town on a
two weeks furlough Wednesday
evening about midnight. He was
given splendid reception by his
numerous friends. The church
bells were rung and he was received
with cheers and kindly welcome
by our patriotic citizens. Mr..
Jensen upon solicitation con-
scented to give the TIMES readers a
short sketch of the engagement
between the Spanish and Ameri-
can fleets before Santiago, on the
morning of July 3rd, when the
whole Spanish fleet was annihi-
lated, and in which the Oregon on
which he was stationed took SO
prominent part.
~. THE BATTLE.
The first call for Sunday IN
spection had sounded, and we
were buckling up swords for
quarters, when the general alarm
and call to general quarters
sounded. Our first impression
was that some mistake had been
made-our second, that Cervera
was running. On deck could be
seen the four beautiful ships with
battle flags flying and smoking
}sides. For a second the men
gazed in wonder. Then with a
cheer they rushed to their stations
and soon we were in the midst of
the fight. AS we swept up we
turned our light guns on the tor
spedo boats. It was not long be-
fore they were destroyed, for the
5 plucky Colchester, aided by the
fleet at distance. soon blew them
practically out of the water. The
flag ship Infanto Maria Teresa
was the first to head for the shore,
followed soon after by the
}Amirante Oquendo. To the west
ward, at some four miles distance,
the Viscaya and Cristobal Colon
were escaping. On the Oregon
every nerve was strained to over
take them. It all now depended
on the engines. If they could
stand the pace, the victory would
be complete. In the fire rooms
the men worked like fends, and
with every shot heard from deck
they answered with a cheer. AS
men played out their places were
taken by fresher men. From $3.50
5 to 1:I5 these men worked In a
temperature of about 140.01.
Clouds of coal dust like a winters
blizzard made breathing difficult,
}Slowly The good ship gained, and
soon the Oregon and Brooklyn
forced the third Spanish ship
ashore. The Iowa and Texas be-
5 ing then, some four or five miles
away. This left the. Colon alone.
The Oregon and Brooklyn raced
neck AMI neck until about 1:15,
when two shots from the Oregon s
10 inch guns SO frig tened the
men of the colon, that they sur
rendered and beached their ship.
At this time the Texas and New
York were barely III sight on the
horizon.
The next day July 4th, the Ore
gon streamed slowly back to
Santiago, viewing the smoking
wrecks and floating bodies she had
helped to make.
