and endeavored to haul the wounded
out of the pit. From under the massed
weight of the broken beams came cries
for help. The windows on the ground
floor were broken in, and the living
and the dead were terderly passed to
the waiting ambulance. An investiga-
tion of the wreck after the catastrophe
disclosed the fact that a whole section
OF the floor had dropped, the joists
having been as neatly cut off as though
the work had been done with a saw.
The building was an old one, having
been erected in the early SOS, and of
late years additional stories had been
placed on the old walls. In the Grand
Opera House, which adjoins the wrecked
building, the first act Of The Girl from
Paris had just been concluded when
word was whispered through the thea
tire of the calamity. A panic was i'm
minent. but was avcrted by the actors
and ushers, ard the people quietly left

BREVITIES.

In London an AnglO-American
League has just been formed. This is
one of the promising signs of a closer
relation in the end between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain.
The congress failed to legisIate rela-
tive to making more effective the pres
ent quarantine system under the con-
troll of the Marine Hospital Service.
It was a very unfortunate neglect, and
trouble may come out of it. The pub
lie health may become involved to
d great extent.
Old Ben Butler praised the negro
troops that fought the south. We be-
lieve that the confederates did not
mind engaging them.
1t is curious that in counting the
losses at Santiago there is nothing
heard of the loss of the Cuban insur-
gents. Where were they? Were they
hid or did none of them die? Ameri-
can loss is now known to be 1,914, of
the army.
What a serene, cheerful, manly hero
is Schley! An account tells of his
coming alongside the Texas from the
Cristobal Colon in his gig, called out
cheerily, 1t was a nice fight, Jack,
wasn't it? The veterans of the Texas
lined up and gave three hearty cheers
and a tiger for their commander-in-
chief"
Cervera, the Spanish admiral, paid
perhaps an undersigned compliment
to Hobson when explaining his re-
mark as to his failure to obStruct the
harbor entrance at Santiago. He sta
ted that he would have gone out Sat
urday night, but was compelled to de-
fer as he would have failed into the
hands of the enemy by eason of the
searchlight. The Chicago Inter-Ocean
says it follows that the wreck of the
Merrimac was a greater success than
it would have been had it rendered the
passage absolutely impossible. II

The religiou newspapers as we'll as
religious men of thought do not fail to
see the hand of God in the success of
the two American fleets in destroying
completely and eternally two boastful
Spanish fleets with the loss of but one
man only in each battle. It really
reads like a page from some high
wrought nautical romance rather than
the calm record Of serious history. The
brave Captain Philip, of the Texas
the Captain h piped his men on
deck after the victory Of Com
modore Schley at Santiago, to thank
Almighty God for the great victory
talking with Rev. DR.. Nelson, Of Rich
mOnd, Va, just before he sailed for
Cuba, about Dewey's marvellous vic
tory at Manila, said, as given in
Richmond Presbyterian: 1T seems to
me sir, that if the enemy had thrown
as many brick bats at Dewey and his
feet as they threw shot and shell, they
ought to have hurt somebody. l think
some higher hand thar Dewey's was
in that victory"
And yet the wondrous display OF pow
er and success, with like results, was
repeated at Santiago under the warlike
most courageous Schley. Do not let
Americans forget God Almighty, King
Of kings and Lord of lords,
der of armies and fleets, in these great
manifestations of Divine favor and
marvellous achievements. 1t would be
indeed a great, crying national sin to
think of men in the glorious displays
and not to see the mighty hand Of Je-
hovah in every movement. Let us not
be puffed up with vain, glory and self
sufficiency. While remembering the
Maine remember God who deals with
all nations in time. Says the ably ed
tied Richmond Presbyterian:
God forbid that we should forget
by whose goodness We enjoy such
great prosperity, by whose WisdOm we
have been established on American
shores, by whose favor victory has
come to our arms and ships, and by
whose continued grace we may be kept
IN peace, and led in a safe way into
His glory, and the good of the world.
In this new era of American history
may all the people, and all their rep
reSentative rulers, remember that it is
righteousness before God which exal-
teth a nation. In the solemn crisis of
unexpected and mOmentOus change,
and of equal peril, God grant that we
do not forget Him."
