THE RITA SAILS.
Takes Part Of the Sixth Illinois
Regiment to Cuba.

CHARLESTON( S. c., July 10.-The
steamship Rita, captured recently off
Cuba by the Yale, and purchased yes
terday by the United States Govern
ment for $125,OO0, sailed for Santiago
this afternoon with $50 men of the
Sixth Illinois Regiment and their bag
gage. One battalion of the regiment
sailed with the expedition under Gen
eral Garretson on the Columbia. 1t
was found that the Rita could not
carry the remaining men, so Compan-
les D and M We're left here. This di-
vides the regiment badly.
The embarkation at $50 o'colck was
an inspiring sight. The men of the
Sixteenth Pennsylvania and Second
and Third Wisconsin Regiments were
drawn up on neighboring pier heads,
their regimental bands playing patriot
ic airs, which were responded to by the
band Of the Illinois regiment on the
steamer 1t had been raining hard
all day, but just as the Rita drew
off into the stream a perfect rainbow
appeared, spanning the entrance to the
harbor like a triumphal arch under
which the ship was sailing. The watch
ing soldiers caught the significance OF
the incident, and a cheer swept along
the water front that could be heard
all over the city.
The Grand Duchess is expected off
the bar tonight to take third eX-
pedition to Santiago tomorrow.

HEALTH HINTS.

He lives most life whoever breathes
most air." says Elizabeth Barrett
Browning.
Il honor health" says Emerson, "as
the first muse and sleep as the condi-
ton of health"
We patch the body from the outside
hoping thereby to make it mentally
tenable a little longer But it is built
from within. From the inner to the
outer is the universal established or
der.
When we are out of sorts, things
CRATE on our nerves, and the most
trifling annoyances assume the proper
tions of catastrophe. 1t is a sure
sign that we need rest and fresh air
Lubbock
A man named Griffith died recently
in Paterson, N. j., from excessive dos
ing with patent medicines. He in
dulged in immense doses of a number
of different kinds of medicine at the
same time.
The pursuit of science tends to
longevity by it's atmosphere of harmony
and absence of discord which shortens
life. The contemplation of truth is
health giving. Great workers, as a rule,
are long livers This is especially true
of philosophers, scientists and math-
ematicians-as Galileo, Bacon, Newton.
Euler and Dalton; in fact, all those
who have dwelt upon the exact sci
ences, as the study of mathematics,
seem to have escaped many of the ills
that humanity suffers. The exact sci
ences do not develop the imagination
so fully, and scientists are less the
victims of imaginary ills.

AWAITING THE END.
Government No Longer Attempts to
Disguise It's Convictions.

PARIS, July 1O.-The Madrid corre-
spondent Of the Temps" says; The
end is impatiently awaited, even the
Government no longer attempting to
disguise its conviction that after the
fall of Santiago the time Will nave
come for thinking about overtures of
peace, especially as all the European
Chancellories advise this course.
THE meetings that are being held
at Eayonne in the province of Navarro
and along the Pyrenean frontier great
ly disturb the Ministry. The partisans
of Don Carlos are making no secret OF
their intention TO rise if the terms upon
which peace are conducted should en-
tail a loss of territory.
General Blanco cables that it VIII
be impossible for reinforcements to
reach Santiago in time to aid in the
defense, the duration of which Will de-
pend upon the supply of food and am
munition, unless the garrison attempts
q desperate sortie."

President Mckinley, as usual, attend
ed the morning services at the Metro
politan NJ f. Church. He went alone
and was deeply impressed by the dis
course delivered by the pastor, the Rev.
Frank Bristol, d. d.
He preached from the text:
Psalm 9S:1. % sing unto the Lord a
new song; for He hath done marvellous
things; His right hand, and His holy
arm hath gotten Him the victory.
His peroration was as follows:
I'VE are witnessing the victories of
truth in passing events. 1t is the truth
of great convictions, the truth of a
splendid courage, the truth Of free
American manhood, the truth of wise
and patriotic legislation, the truth of
naval and military discipline, the truth
of scientific warfare the truth of cor
rect strategic accuracy, perfect aim,
the truth of true heroism, the truth of
a just cause that is working out the
freedom of the oppressed. Thanks to
the Christ who came to set the cap
tive free and proclaim the brotherhood
of man. Thanks to his servants, to
the teachers of the past and present,
who have given themselves to the high
and holy ministry of education, by
which the generation has come armed
and equipped by subdued error and su-
perstition to establish the authority and
sovereignty of truth.
Thanks to all those sons of God who
in offices of state and on fields of bat
tie have caught the spirit of the heroic
Christ and have pledged their fortunes,
their sacred honor and their lives to
realize the kingdom of righteousness

FEELING IN SPAIN.
Commercial and Industrial Inter-
ests Asking for Peace.

LONDON, July 10.-A special dis
patch from Madrid says: The fall Of
Santiago will convince the most san
guine of the hopelessness of the strug-
gle and will give the Government the
desired opportunity at least TO suggest
an armistice for the discussion of the
terms Circumstantial statements are
already in circulation to the effect that
the war is virtually ended and that the
Government has actually opened peace
negotiations, but they cannot be veri-
fed.
A detailed account has been publish
ed of Spains naval losses-twenty -one
warships and twenty-one merchantmen,
as against practically no losses on the
American side. This tends TO convince
the most rabd war advocate, and as
for a long time past, the whole CONF
mercial and industrial interests Of
Spain are bringing strong influence to
bear in favor of peace.
Every day that passes without dis
turbance strengthens the peace party.
1t is believed however, that there is a
strong undercurrent in favor of con-
tinuing the war, and the attitude of the
Carlists and Republicans causes anx-
iety.
A mysterious black edged, unsigned
manifesto appeared in the leading
squares of Madrid to-day Sunday
bearing the municipal stamp and head
ed Gloria Victus'' with an angel sup
porting a dead naked soldier. The
manifesto contains an eloquent appeal
from the Spanish mothers. calling for
the regeneration of the country on the
basis of the army, and crying, Down
with bribed politicians and bought
press"
Four million copies of this manifesto
have been distributed through Spain,
and it is attracting considerable atten-
ton.
