BOLD THIEF
IN A CHURCH
Calvary Baptist Church Scene
of a Novel Theft.
PASTORS MONEY BOX ROBBED
Trustees Aware of the Guilty Party
and if Money is not Returned
They will be Prosecuted.

A most novel theft took place last
night at Calvary Baptist Church and not
only is the story interesting to hear but
is likely to prove interesting to the
guilty party.
The trustees of Calvary had placed at
the church door contribution box for
the convenience of the members in de-
posting their subscriptions to the pas
tors salary. Yesterday being the first
Sunday in the month the treasurer went
to the box, as was his usual custom, for
the purpose OF securing the contents,
which, according to subscribers,a amounted
to over $40. To his surprise and aston
ishment the box was empty. He imme-
diately called the pastors attention to
the empty box.
The pastor Immediately made inquiries
concerning 1t but was unable at the time
to discover the thief or the manner in
which the money had been confiscated.
After his inquiries. which proved Use
less, he resolved to keep the matter a
secret, but upon refecting he decided to
try the guilty conscience OF the person
by referring to the act in the course OF
his sermon and in several parts OF his
discourse he referred to the act as being
one of the most degrading and sacre-
ligious performances that had ever been
brought to his attention.
But his eloquence did not bring the re-
qui1ed results and he was forced to
abandon the attempt as the guilty party,
if present, was not of a nature to allow
his feelings TO be overcome in such a
manner. Several of the members have
concluded from further investigation,
that the person who performed the act
was thoroughly acquainted with the box
and its position and at time when the
members attention was attracted to
another part of the church. the money
was carefully and quietly taken from the
box.
Rev. Elmer I. Powell, in the course OF
his sermon, stated that ''the person who
would stoop so low as to do such sacri-
ligous:s act in the house Of God is worthy
Of the most severe punishment that can
be inflicted upon him.
The trustees are aware OF the persons
identity although they are Keeping the
matter secret, but if the money is not
returned in the course of week the per-
L)n will be dealt with to the full extent
of the law. The trustees, however, will
keep a close watch on the box to see that
it is not tampered with hereafter. The
lock OF the box had not been forced and
was perfectly intact.

To Embark for Manila.
) Special Dispatch to THE SuN.


SAN FRANCIsCo, June 5.-Tle second
expedition to Manila will embark Tues
day.
The orders to the colonies of the regi-
ments chosen to go to Manila next week
are identical. After stating that the
command has been selected to embark
on one of the ships which will leave this
port in few days, they read:
"Iou will have your command in
readiness to depart by Tuesday of next
week, supplied with clothing, camp and
garrison equipage, for six months
period OF field service, and with ordnance
and ordnance stores for he same period,
taking with you 400 rounds of anmuni-
ton per man. Subsistence stores in bulk
for six months will b4 furnished you and
will be delivered al the steamers wharf
in San Francisco"
Including company of engineers, the
troops designated in the order of We'd
nesday night number approximately
1900 officers and men. The China, Zea-
landia, Colon, Centennial and Ohio
ought to carry 4,5OO men. Colonel Berry
Of the Seventh California, received as
surances some days ago that his com
mand would g with the second expedi-
ton, and special efforts have been made

guess when Dewey hears of it he will be
as proud of Hobson. Deeds of this char
acter make us all proud OF being Ameri-
cans"
The dispatch of Admiral Sampson
briefly shows that Admiral Cervera is a
brave man, as well as a skilful naval
strategist. He officially gave recognition
Of the heroism Of the Yankee sailors by
receiving them in their boats as prison
ers of war, and sent word at once to that
effect to Admiral Sampson, with the re-.
quest that they be exchanged. The Navy
Department has cabed Admiral Sampson
that the proposed exchange of Hobson
and his men for Spanish prisoners at At
lanta will be approved, ,and the exchange
will be made. Therefore, Lieutenant
Hcbson and his heroes will soon be back
again abord the ships to which they be-
long, under the flag for which they vol
unfairly offered their lives, and they will
participate in other deeds of daring and
heroism.
It is unofficially stated that the Span
iards are endeavoring to clear their ci,an-
mel, either with the hope OF forcing t|er
way out or in anticipation OF re-enfvrce-
ments. The Navy Department does not
believe that spaii, will send any more
ships to this country, because they would
easily fall into the clutches of powerful
warships. eager and ready to destroy
them. They believe that the Cadiz
squadron will merely masquerade for
the purpose OF killing time until the
hour shall come for Spain to safely
sue for peace, without the utter annihi-
laton OF her government by internal
iorces

Havana's Defenses,
special Dispatch to THE Sun.

opeCidi DslSttCL W lhE GlN,
KEY WEST, June 5.-Every day now
the defenses of Havana are being made
stronger. The work on them has been
steadily carried on since the war began.
The defenses at that time consisted
only of the fortification at the entrance
to the harbor and few small land bat
teries. Up to two weeks ago fourteen
additional earthwork Notifications have
been erected, and could be plainly seen
from the sea.
Reports from the blockade squadron
say that the work is being done in plain
view OF the men on the blockading boats.
More than a thousand men are working
in sight, and new earthworks appear
daily.
Nearly all OF the work is being done
on the eastern side of the city. The
coast line ON the east is perfectly straight
for several mites. Sone of the land is
very high and some is low. On the high
land there are earthworks one above the
other to the top, those below appearing
to be the lightest and the upper ones
heaviest.
1t is not possibleto to go close enough in
shore to see the guns in any OF the works,
and, OF course, it is not possible to esti-
mate the strength of the new defences.
II the Spaniards have modern quick
fire guns, to put in them, the work Of
taking Havana is twice as difficult now
as it would have been when the war
started, and every days delay makes it
more difficult.
The officers on the warships of the
blockade are aching for a chance to put
few shots into the Notifications where
the work is gong on. They say they
could block further strengthening OF the
defenses if nothing else.
