The Marriage Feast Matt. 22:1-14.
Read the whole Chapter.
Golden Text-"Come; Tor all things arc
now ready" Luke II II.
Jesus said, tho Kingdom Of Heaven is
like unto certain king, which made u
ninrrinaa fnr his si.n. and SAINT aarunnts to
call those who were invited and they
would not como.
Ho sent Other servants to say "All
things are ready; come to tho marriage"
But those who were called made light of it
and some Of them killed his servants.
When the king heard OF 1t, he was angry,
and destroyed the murderers, and burned
up their city.
Then he said to his servant, "The we'd
ding Is ready. but they which were bidden
were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the
highways and as many as 70 shall find,
bid to the marriage"
So the servants went and gathered as
many as they found, both bad and good;
and the wedding was furnished with
guests.
And when the king came in to see tho
guests, he saw there n man who had not on
wedding garment; and said to him,
Friend, how came you In here without
wedding garment" And tho man was
spcechless Then the king said to his
servants, Bind him hand and foot and
take him away, and cast him into outer
darkness there shall be wailing and gnash
Ing of teeth. For many he called, but few
are chosen
There a many interpretations of this
parable, and each ono seeks to apply it to
some one else. But wouldn't it DO woll
for us to see that we have accepted the in
vitation of our King? He says, Come
unto mo. Him that cometh unto Me 1
will In no wise cast out" And having
come to Him, SOC that we listen to every
call, and have on the wedding garment
which He furnishes; remembering that
our own garment cannot save. no matter
how good it seems TO be, and that His
word says, "All our rightcousnesses arc
as filthy rags"
A very definite call that He has mado
to all comers, is this:
All power is given unto Nc In Heaven
md in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach
III nations, baptizing them in the name of
5he Father,and of tho Son and Of the Holy
ihost; teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever have commanded you; and,
o, am with you alway, oven unto the
md of the world. Amen "

Cuba, and says there is great activity
on shore throughout that section, and
especially in Bahia Honda. Troops of
Spaniards can be seen working in i'm
provsed Notifications of all kinds.
Earthworks have been thrown I'D all
along the coast. and apparent prepara-
tions against invasion are being made.
During her cruise the Dolphin held
up IS vessels, all of which were re-
leased except the Spanish fishing
schooner Lolo, which was sent in here
the other day. Th1 Dolphin had pre-
viously taken the Lolo, but had re-
leased her on her captains promise to
go in shore and remain there. Not
long afterward the Dolphin again found
the Lolo cruising and apparently sig
mailing information to some one on
shore. The Spaniard was then cap
tured, despite the captains protesta-
tions that he was not signaling.
The steamer Olivette reached here
last night, but was not permitted to
enter the harbor, owing to the new
port regulations governing the move
ment of vessels here during the war.
Commodore Watson Is a passenger OH
the Olivette. Commodore Watson will
raise his flag on the cruiser Cincinnati,
and his command will include other
cruisers and gunboats. Commodore
Rcmey, who will command the other
division of the fleet, Rear Admiral
Sampson being commander of both di-
visions. is expected here in few days.
The conditions of the Havana block
ade remain unchanged, the line being
rigidly kept by the Montgomery and
other cruisers under Captain Converse,
who Is still in temporary command.

tnucS very strict.

Washington, May 6.-Secretary Long
said at the close of office yesterday
that up to that time he had received
no word from Commodore Dewey. He
added. however, that he felt no appre-
hension over this lack of good news,
because in the first place reports were
not expected with the cable from Ma
Mia cut, and furthermore, no fears
were entertained as to Commodore
Dewey's ability to maintain his posi-
ton. There was no doubt, the Secrc-
tary said, that Commodore Dewey s
fleet had annihilated the Spanish fleet,
and with this much accomplished
Dewey was master of the situation at
Manila. The powder and shot to be
sent to Dewey will give 500 rounds for
the big guns and several thousand
rounds for the rapid fire rifles.
No news could be cleaned at the
navy department relative to the move
ments of Admiral Simpsons ironclads,
but from the confident tone of the few
officials who are acquainted with tho
policy Of the department they are cx-
pecting to hear very soon of news from
his squadron almost as Interesting and
important as that received from the
Philippines last Monday. A high Of
ficer of the administration almost de-
molished the theory that Admiral
Sampson was going to succor the Ore
gon, now on her way from Brazil to
join the North Atlantic squadron. Flo
declared that the navy department
was under no apprehension about tho
Oregon, for the reason that it did not
consider that the Spanish admiral of
the Cape Verde squadron would be
willing to risk combat with the Ore
gon, even with the great odds in his
favor. as, even if overwhelmed in tho
end, the Oregon would certainly de-
stroy one Of the Spanish ships, and
perhaps two, and the Spanish govern
ment could not afford to exchange
pawns at this stage Of the war. That
left open as possible points of opera
tions for Sampson, either Porto Rico
or some port on the Cuban coast. But
Just which theory is to be accepted is
not even limited at by the department.
officials.
Notice came to the state department
from Brazil that that government had
declared neutrality. There Is now no
cause to regret such action on the
part Of Brazil, for however beneficial
the delay has been to the United
States in getting its war ships safely
along the Brazilian coast, the issue Of
the proclamation just now is likely to
be still more beneficial in closing Bra
lillian ports to the Spanish flying
squadron if it should be headed in that
direction. 1t is now believed that tho
Spanish flying squadron really has
turned back to connect with the home
squadron at Cadiz.

To Recruit Special Classes.

Washington, May Cit is the under
standing at the war department that
the new bill now pending in congress
providing for the enlistment of over
10000 "immunes" and a brigade Of en-
gneers will be modified so as to leave
it discretionary with the president to
recruit probably $1,000 men made up
of such special classes as he may deem
best for the service. These classes, 1t Is
expected, will include "immunes." sig
nal corps, cowboy companies and artil-
lery and engineer regiments. This
course is regarded at the war depart
ment as better than that proposed in
the bill. in that it will enable the presi-
dent to provide for obtaining such
troops as he may think best.
