egraphing Tuesday night, says. IBIS
order is spreading among the military.
The crowds in the streets are getting
rlotous, and everywhere signs are ap-
parent that the population is arming
for civil war. Marshal MARTINEZ Cam
pos and the captain general of Madrid
have held long consultations as to the
ways and means of preserving order
An Assccia ed Press dispatch from
Madrid says: Senior Sagasta, the pre-
mler, has announced officially that AID
mlral Cervera's squadron had been
defeated, that the Almirahte OqueDdo
was burned and the Infanta Maria
Teresa sunk, and that Admiral Ger
vera himself is prisoner of war. The
dispatch containing the information
has not yet been fully deciphered.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Times says: dispatches received
from American sources describing the
destruction Of Admiral Cerverss squad
ron; which the morning papers cOnSld
cred wild eXaggeratlODs and conse-
guently held back, have now been
published in special editions They
are generally regarded as substantially
true, and have produced a most pain
full impression among all classes, but
there is perfect tranquility. j perceive

The Madrid CORES pendent of tie
Daily Chronicle reports that unusual
precautions are being taken with a
view to possible rising in Spain.
The Rome correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says: "The Pope, it is
rumored, has telegraphed the Queen
Regent begging her not TO compromise
the future of the monarchy by refusing
to treat for peace, which, after the
, heroism displayed by the Spanish navy,
could not be otherwise than honorable.
At the same time the Pope cabled
President Mckinley, so it is rumored,
appealing to the American generosity
toward 'An unfortunate but chivalrOus
enemy The Italian Foreign Office,
however, discredits such rumors and
denies that the powers have taken any
action"
The Daily Chronicle says: We learn
from a sure source that the Spanish
government thinks 1t impossible to
make peace now because to make peace
at present would throw the balance of
power in Spain into the hands of the
Carllsts.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Standard says: The public is still in
favor of prolonged resistance, but ex
element is increasing among all
classes, and strong precautions are be
ing taken in all the large towns where
the garrisons are confined to barracks.
The correspondent describes the irri-
tation of the newspapers, which with
held the special reports as 10 the dis
aster to Cervera's squadron until the
governments confirmation had been
received.
A dispatch from Madrid dated IL 30
p. m. says: THE Cabinet council to-
night, after short session, decided not
to open negotiations for peace, but to
continue the war, with all risks, while a
single soldier remains in Cuba. The
government has no news as to the
bombardment of Santiago and has
cabled Governor General BlancO for
details of the naval battle"

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Young Peoples Weekly. |

Topic, August 7: Lessons from the
Life Of ELIJAH Kings 20: 80.
Elijah is by no means represented as
a perfect man. There were occasions
when his detection reached such point
that he prayed to de, and almost accus-
ed God OF beng unmindful OF his faith
fulness There were times when he
seemed unduly severe. And yet the
rugged character Of this Stern old pro-
phet towers like mountain peak above
the dead level OF ordinary humanity
and there is no young Christian who
can afftrd to ignore the lessons taught
by his life.
One Of the traits in which Elijah al
fords worthy example TO us to-day is
his courage. He dared 90 stand alone..'
He honestly believed that out OF all Is
rael he was the only one left faithful to
God, but though he might sometimes
wish to die, he never considered the ex-
pediency of serving Baal. Without
flnehing he looked the king 10 the eyes,
and rebuked him for the calamity he
had brought upon Israel by forsaking
the commandments Of God. In that
wonderful gathering at Mount Carmel !
he stood fearless and solitary, with the
wavering Israelite, on one hand, and |
he frenzied prophets OF Baal on the
'ther.
Perhaps. thee is danger thatin our ON
gentlent IS and meekness and
oibearance, we may fail to give due
'eight to simple, stalwart courage. I
'ove, it is true, is the one essential ]
hing, but the right sort of love is fear

PUTTING 1T TO THE TEST.

Elijah did not hesitate 10 put God t.
the test when crisis came In Other
words Lis faith was rs sublime as hit
courage. He did not evade coming in.
to direct conflict with the worshipers
CT Baal. He gave them every chance
to prove the justice Of their claim, and
subjected his own cause to a much Sc
veier test than that to which he had
put them. Under these circumstances
1t was not unreas enable to ask The peo-
pie to ABIDE by the results of the trial.
IF the Lord be God, follow him: but
If Baal, then follow him." There was
not one in the listening Thong who
could not see the good sense and fair
ness of Lis proposition.
Christian young people need have no
fear in regard 10 putting the faith they
love TO the test. Christianity will stand
comparison and bear investigation. In
deed there is nothing so robust and full
of vitality as the truth. 1t is only err
ror which has to be guarded from light
and air. Do not be discouraged if the
friends you are trying to help show a
disposition to inquire into certain ques-
tons which have never troubled you.
If they are sincere in their investiga-
tions, the light viii break in upon them,
and they will be ready to listen to that
reasonable demand, eff the Lord be
God, follow him."
