NO MINGS AT HAVANA
so DECLARES THE SPANISH GOV EMINENT AND OUR AGENTS
 CONCUR.
If This Statement Proves True, the Disaster to the Maine Was Due
 to Accident.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 26,- Things are looking much better about the navy department Sec retary Long decided today to aban- don his proposed absence and was early at his desk. He said the pub lie ought not to be under any mis- apprehension with regard to any naval movements, that so far they have mostly been ordinary dis po- sitions made from time to time. The telegraph brought news this morn ing of the arrival at Key West of the Detroit, from Mobile, and the Marblehead from New Orleans. It is again stated at the navy depart ment that the Montgomery has Lot yet received any orders to proceed to Havana, and it is not decided yet when the orders will issue, if at all. The attention of naval officers has been strongly attracted tC the state ment made by representatives of the Spanish government to the effect that there are no mines or topedoes in Havana harbor. 1t can be said that this statement agrees exactly with inquiries under way for months by agents of our government, for so far, it is said, they have been unable to find the slightest evidence of the existanee of any plan of defence in the harbor by means of mines or torpedoes, much less to locate them, as reported, in some quarters. Oi course to offset this statement, if it s to be accepted as conclusive o n this point. is almost certain to neg atiye the supposition that the dis aster resulted from other than acei- dental causes, as almost the unani- nous testimony of experts here, based on the history of torpedo work, is to the effect that no single torpedo of any known type, could have caused the terrific wreck of the
 Maine.

"This century will be memorable in history for the religious uprising of its youth. This uprising has not come of the will of man but of God. It was as unexpected as it was unplanned for, and yet one ctspss scarcely see, in looking back over the history of the last twenty years how the history of the church for there last two decades could have been written if this factor was left out. So energetic have these young people been, so resourceful and inventive in applying new methods to old problems, so hope full, optimistic, aggressive in thelr desire and their efforts to win the world for Christ, that they have placed their mark upon every page of the church for nearly a score of years past. The last few years have witnessed a hitherto unparall- eled and undreamed of activity among the young men and women of our churches. This has not been young mans or a young moman's B movement. It has been Q young peoples movement. It has not be longed to any sect or denomination it has touched all denominations It has not expended it's force upor the shores Of America, but has swept around the world. It has not been content to work for the church at home alone; it's activities lhave bees"'.ounded by no narrow oi sectional liliias. liiies..
 lone character1stic of these nov ments is their spontanasty. The. are of and for and by tIse. young people them selves. For the moso part it was not engineered by eccle- siastics, though it has been some times opposed and hindered by them. It did not originate with high au- thorities of the church. It owes it's origin to no ecclesiastical councils or conferences, and to no authorities in the temporal kingdom of our Lord. Like the Reformation of old, like the Weslyan revival, like every great awakening of every kind in the church, it has come from the people and has owed it's strength to their devotion, conservation and broad common sense. Unlike some other movements in the religious world, it has not been a revolt against the church, it has not even indulged in criticisms of the meth ods of the church, but has been con ducted from beginning to end il hearty and supreme loyalty to th, church, which it has recognized both at home and in It's foreigl missionary aspects as Gods divin
 institution upon earth, whose up
 building should be sought"
 Dr. Clark concluded with a declar
 ation that the world will never bl
 converted until every christian
 realizes whether he stays at home 0
 goes abroad, that because he is
 christian he must be missionary Speaking especially of the re U snap h;l ;t,s-<>s ,1e6nnn1

cieties in the church towards ths
 missionary uprising among the stu dents, he said;
 First these societies should know about this missionary upris- ing; should understand it's breadth and significance, and should ap. preciate it's peculiar relation to them and their work. If any one of LIS has brother on the mission field, what new aspect do missions take on. Everything about this cause suddenly becomes Interesting. It is such personal interest in our brother missionaries who have gone abroad that we who remain at home need to cultivate. The world will never be converted until every christian realizes that because he is a christian be must be missionary.
 He may stay at home to De sure, but he must no less be . missionary than the brother whose journey hs follows to far off lands.
 Secondly, the young people at home cannot fulfill their responsi- bilieies for the advancement of the kingdom of God until each one has asked and definitely settled the ques- tion, whether God would not have him go to the foreign field.
 It should be asked, in view of the great needs of the unevangelized continents, of tue disproportion bs- tween the number of laborers at home and the number abroad. It should be asked in view of ths sesds of the races dying without God and without hope In the world. It should be asked in view of that eloquent map which we so often sec sfE ms ,alonary meetings, black with the unutterable woe and degredation of the heather world. Let every soci- ety scan it's members. Let every society consider itself honored to have a representative among the volunteers, and then let each feel responsible for the support of his own or some other volunteev in the field to which he may be seat. l may be wrong in this matter, but more and more believe the support of our missionary operations will become a personal matter. Each man at home will have his man

NEWS OF THE WEST.
Torrey's Terrors.

The Cheyenne Sun-Leader comments
editorially on a Salt Lake mans pro-
motion as follows:
1.-The appointment of Captain John
@. Cannon to fill the position of lieHten-
ant colonel of Torrey's mounted rifle
men is received with great satisfaction
by the regiment, the only objection
coming from the Utah troops on ae-
count of the loss of their popular cap
tain. They are glad to see his merits
acknowledged, but don't see how his
place SIS captain can be so we'll filled. -
The circumstances are set forth in
the Sun-Leader as follows:
1.-THE officers had assembled for
mounted drill and were just leaving for
the field when Colonel Torrey recalled
them, and while they stood at horse
he announced that the time had come
for the selection of a lieutenant colo
mel. He nominated Captain Cannon for
the office and asked those favoring his
choice to raise their hands Every hand
went up, and three cheers and a tiger
followed the ceremony.
1.-THE news officially reached the Utah
barracks and the boys were frantic,
first with sorrow at losing their COM
mander, and then with pride for the
honor bestowed upon their state, their
captain and themselves.
OOlOiltl LII Cy III SllOOoill5 captain
Cannon, explained that the neatness,
good behavior, efficiency and general
superiority of the Utah troop proved
him to be an able commander. Colonel
Cannon therefore says he owes his ele-
walton to the troop, but the troopers in
sist that he is responsible for their pro-
gress, and merits by his abilities his
promotion.
Captain Cannon was given a hint of
what was in store for him two weeks
ago, when he asked for leave to visit
Salt Lake. Colonel Torrey asked him to
wait until he could go back with an
other rank. The captain then thought
he might be junior major, but TO be
placed second in command was more
than a surprise to him.
THE election was wired to Washing
ton, and Colonel Cannon left for Salt
Lake, from whence he will be regularly
mustered in as lieutenant colonel. If
the line of promotion is followed, First
Lieutenant Young will become captain,
Second Lieutenant Burt will be first
lieutenant and Sergeant S. K. Hooper
second lieutenant"
