The Jews OF Jerusalem.

Mr.. ii. Levkoff, who was formerly
connected with the Dennenberg Com
pany Of Macon, but who is now en-
gagged in the clothing business in Au-
gusta, has translated the prayer which
was offered by the Hebrews Of Jerusa-
lem June II, that the American arms
might prevail in the war against
Spain. This prayer was held in the
Temple, the Home Of Jacob, by Chief
Rabbi Samuel Salanta, in the pres
cnce of the American Ambass ador
and in a meeting Of thousands of
lsraclitcs. The prayer is as follows:
ooh, God, we come to beg you,
mcrciful God, which hears evcryonc's
prayer. We are your servants, tn.
children Of Jacob. We stand in your
Holy Temple and beg you to help our
American brethren OF the United
States, the nation in which you have
planted the love in them 20 mankind
more than in any one that lives Oh
your earth. This nation went out to
great fight agains: a fierce enemy.
The Americans do not mean to enlarge
their country; they do not mean to
take away foreign lands they only
love to make the slaves free; they
only want to protect the weak from
their stronger brothers: they only
want to see justice to the world, as
you, God Almighty, say in your Book,
that you only want peace and glory,
as you God, knoweth all the secrets Of
the man. Oh, God, look down from
heaven upon the Americans who arc
going to the battlefield to die, but to
make the poor slaves free from their
murderers. Oh, God, help our broth
ers in America. Send your angel
from Heaven to protect them. and
would that everywhere they go they
shall gain, and that you shall honor
the President Of the United States
and to help his officers in their man
agcmcnt, and Thou shalt hold up Thy
hand and break the strength of the
enemy, the urmerciful nation, the
land which is soaked in the blood of
your children. You shall take re-
yenge now upon them. unmerciful ma
ton; Thou shalt weaken the strength
of them that they shall be the lowest
nation in the world from to-day forever
and ever, and the nations will know
that Thou art justice and do justice
between all nations, and they shall
know the strength of Thy Kingdom;
as you, God, the King forever and
ever, and looketh upon the weak, and
your resting place is in Jerusalem.
Amen. "-.Mcon Telegraph.

Volcanic Region.

If the United States were to annex
the Philippines, it would add to it's
territory group Of islands abounding
in volcanoes and never entirely free
from earthquakes fit were to retain
only the island Of Luzon it would pos
sess the region in which the ingeous
energy of the Philippines is concerned.
If it were to hold only the city of Ma
Mia and few square miles of the
territory edjoining the city. there
would Be constant danger Of seismic
disturbances which would destroy the
city. The scismographs ct the Manila
observatory are constantly vibrating,
showing the mighty forces below the
crust of the earth which are liable at
any moment to bring disaster. The
city of Manila has been frequently
wasted by such convulsions, and in
1863 most Of its public buildings we're
lcveled to the ground. In 1880 it was
again visited by an earthquake, and
the destruction would have been as
great then as in 1863, but for the fact
that the residents had proited by the
lessons of the previous disaster and
constructed their houses on a plan
better adapted to resist the effects of
these violent oscillations of the earth.

Cuban Hangers On.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 22.-G p. m.
--On the breaking up of Gen. Wheel
er's camp on the Caney road on Friday
the tents and general equipment OF
the division headquarters were left in
charge of the quartermaster' depart
ment. During the night the Cubans
stealthily confiscated all the tents,
stores. arms, and personal effects of
the soldiers. There is no clue to the
robbers. On Saturday Gen. Lawton
ordered the ammunition and arms
brought into town, but it was too
late. Everything was gone.
Gen. Kent's brigade, stationed three
miles from Santiago, also lost their
tents, and the soldiers marched into
town barefooted their shoes and every
thing obtainable having been stolen,
the Uubans equipping themselves with
the arms, tents and provisions Of the
Americans. They are continually
stalking about the camps and constant
vigilence is necessary.
There are 488 patients in the hospi-
tai at Sibony andthe authorities urge
their immediate removal. The death
rate is high.
