vided had almost been exhausted.
The paper was complete in all de-
partments, but the Geographic columns
were particularly attractive, not less

printed.

In connection with the present diff
ficulty with Spain and the prospects of
war with that country, it is interesting
to note the sentiment of the clergy on
the matter. A clergyman is always
supposed to be the last person to coun-
sci war, and the opinion expressed yes
terday by a number OF local ministers,
who were interviewed on the subject,
may be taken as significant Although
in favor Of the policy of peace as long
as 1t can be maintained by this coun-
try with honor and dignity, yet the
ministers of the. city are patriotic and
speak forcefully on behalf OF Cuba and
In favor OF armed Intervention by the
United States, if necessary to secure
its independence. The following ques-
tons were propounded to ministers
whom Register representative net
yesterday: re you opposed to war in
settling the Spanish American contrO-
versy? Are you In favor of Cuban in
dependence and armed intervention by
the United States to roscue it," The
answers were generally in the affirm
ative.
The opinions of Rev. Joseph Speers,
pastor of the Second Presbyterian
church, and Rt- Rev. B. w. Peterkin,
bishop of the diocese of West Virginia,
are particularly interesting and patrio-
tic. Rev. Mr.. SpeerS was member
for several years Of the national guard
in the State of New York, and served
under Gen. Porter Bishop Peterkin, the
head Of the Protestant Episcopal
church in this State, served four years
under Robert E. Lee in the Confeder-
acy, and was a member of Gen. Pen
dleton's staff. He fought in all the
great enga gements in which the Army
of Northern Virginia participated, and
knows something of war. There was
only one exception to the general opin-
ion expressed that Cuba should be free.
The following are the opinions of those
ministers who expressed themselves.
