PHILIP A BAPTIST.

DIR. Tupper Tells How the Captain Joined
the Church.
New York World.
The Rev. Kerr Boyce Tupper, pastor
of the First Baptist church, Philadel-
phia, spoke at the rooms of the Young
Mems Christian association, No. 502,
Fulton street, Brooklyn, yesterday, on
the subject of "Manliness." He cited,
as illustrating this quality in the high
est degree, Captain J. W. Philip, of the
battleship Texas, who, in this city four
years ago, confessed that he lacked
salvation, and soon afterward united
with church. Said Mr.. Tupper:
"The truest man, perhaps, in all
America is one who has been doing
some heroic battling at the front in
Santiago. Four years ago 1 preached
a sermon in this city on 'Ye Must Be
Born Again Just in front of me sat
a fine looking gentleman. I was much
struck by his manly appearance. At
the close of the service he came to me
and, taking my hand, said:
II believe have everything in the
world except the new birth. I have
lovely wife, a high position in the
United States navy, worldly comforts
in plenty, but I feel that I lack saliva
tion."
"We talked together, and the very
next Sunday that man in one of the
Brooklyn churches declared his belief
in the Lord Jesus Christ as his per-
sonal Saviour and united with the con-
gregation. The following morning,
before his ship started for Boston, he
called his men before him and said:
"Since you last saw me I have given
myself to Christ. Hereafter, every
morning, we will bow before the throne
of the King of Kings and dedicate our
selves to His service.
"And not single day has elapsed
since 1895 that Captain Philip has not
got his men together for divine praise"
The Rev. Kerr, in closing urged the
taking to heart of Richard Cobden's
advice: "Never count on a man un-
less he have a rock-bed principle"

year, is largely found in the extended
use in Continental Europe of corn in
stead of barley and other grains for
cattle. Fritz Arnold, a leading Ger
man importer, says that with the
cattle of Germany feeding on Amer
ican corn there will be a market for
15O, 100000 bushels in German agri-
cultural districts alone, that a large
share of the 100000 worth of corn
that now goes weekly to Europe is
for the German farmer, and that the
rest of Europe is learning the same
lesson.

General Wheeler had three quar-
ters of an hour conference with the
president today. The president want
ed to talk over the conditions in Cuba
with General Wheeler, and this was
the object of a telegraphic summons
that brought the general here,
The president put numerous ques-
tions to the hero of the Santiago cam
paign, and received not only an &C
count of his general experience in that
campaign; but also his views on vari-
GUS issues incident to the adjustment
of affairs on the island. One point
that was uppermost was the possibility
of a rupture with the Cuban insur-
gents. General Wheeler's statements
were very reassuring. GAIL the fric-
tion," he said, "between the Ameri-
cans and Cubans will soon pass away,
and there will be harmony and the
best of feeling between them.
He said there was a class of men in
Cuba who had never been friendly to
the Cubans but, on the contrary, had
been favorable to Spain, who likely
would do all they could to keep up
this misunderstanding, though he did
not apprehend any dangerous results.
General Wheeler suggested the charges
against the insurgents of taking arti-
cles in the field had extenuating cir
cumstances, and particularly in the
starving condition of many of them.
General Wheeler believed the Cubans,
in time, when freed from oppression
and given a stable and humane gov
ernment, would become law-abiding
and useful people. The president is
very solicitous about the health of the
Montauk Point camp, and gave ex-
plicit instructions verbally to General
Wheeler as to the conduct of the camp.
He wanted everything possible and
reasonable done for the interests of
the men at the camp.
Just at the close of Office hours in
the war department, General Wheeler
stopped to speak to a group of news:
paper men, and was soon surrounded
by crowd of employees as well, who
listened to what he had to say regard
ing his experiences with them. The
trouble seemed to be that they wanted
to cooperate, and not be under orders
from the American generals. After
all was explained to them, however,
they, for the most part, got along very
well. He said that they could not un-
derstand our language, and often or
ders given to them, when translated,
seemed, no doubt, harsh and abrupt.
This led to several misunderstanding.
AS to the Cubans refusing to work,
he said they did some work when they
understood its importance but they
were not able to accomplish much,
owing to their physical condition.
They had been living mostly on fruits
and vegetables, and did not possess
the strength for the hardships which
we'll fed soldiers have to 60 through.
General Wheeler also spoke of the re-
ports of the pilfering with which they
are charged, and said that about 10000
people came out of Santiago without
anything to eat. The soldiers, when
they were pushing ahead in an engage
ment, had to discard their rolls con-
tanning provisions. Some of them
complained that their food had been
stolen. But it might have been the
destitute people who came out of San
tiago, as we'll as the Cuban soldiers.

Immediately massed in the, vicinity OF

degree of anxiety was evident.
"General Merritt entered with his
staff at o'clock. The situation was
then better understood, and confer
ence with General Jaudemez was held.
The terms agreed upon may be out
lined as follows:
"sAn agreement for the capitulation
of the Philippines.
"A provision for disarming the
men who remain organized under the
command of their officers, no patrol

Necessary supplies to be furnish,
ed from the captured treasury funds,
and possible deficiency being made
good by the Americans.
"'The safety of life, especially OF
the Spanish soldiers and citizens, to be
guaranteed as far as possible.
"'The question of transporting the
troops to Spain to be referred to the
decision of the Washington govern
ment, and that of returning their
arms to the soldiers to be left to the
discretion of General Merritt.
"'Banks and similar institutions to
continue operations under existing
regulations, unless they are changed
by the United States authorities"
"Perfect order prevails tonight on
both sides the Pasig, and the civil
guard, remaining armed on duty and
cooperating with the American SEN
tries, are preserving quiet.
"About 1000 soldiers will lay down
their arms tonight in the palace vesti'
bule. The stories of starvation in the
town are exaggerated. The Spanish
troops appear to be in excellent con-
dition, and there are only ITO sick.
"Great credit must be given General
Merritt for his attack, which was sue
cessfully carried out in every detail
under unusually complicated condi-
tions. Prompt action and strictly fol-
lowing fully detailed orders resulted
in every case in the immediate settle
ment Of every difficulty, however

ish was in a few cases reprehensible,
such a. their setting fire to the gun

several armed launches and boats
after the capitulation had been agreed
upon.

Spanish flag in Fort Santiago and

highly the humanity of Admiral
Dewey and General Merritt, for a
bombardment of the walled city would
have inflicted severe loss of life upon
women and children. The conduct OF
the Americans, officers and men alike,

difficult to realize that they are invad-
ing troops occupying hostile town.

aWhat You going to do about it ~ the

"What you going to do about it :" the
boys asked.
"Wait," says Mike.
& The hard routine work of the spring
roundup went on for some weeks.
Again the boys asked: "What are you
going to do about your dentist?'
i "Wait," says Mike, again.
When there is work to be done, a cow
camp is stirring at daybrcak. Getting
out in the gray dawn one morning, 1t
was seen that regular tenderfoot out
fit, with tents, had come in during the
night and pitched their camp near the
cowboys.
I. Mike strolied over and poked his head
into several covered wagons, bringing
back the report that no one was awake.

"I have but one price for filing, said

'sBut this is o big back tooth thatll
