TO MAKE A RAID.
Circullr Calling on Spaniards to
Attack Americans at Havana.
An Extra Military Guard Placed
About tho Residence of Gen. Lee.

Jacksonville Fla, Jan. ga specis
from Key West says: There has been
much excitement in this city during the
last "a hours, due to an alarming telegr. M
from Havana stating that the streets hao
been flooded with anonymous ultra
Spanish circulars calling upon,all anti
American elements to mobilize and raid
the American colony.
Capt. Gen. Blanco, fearful that the raid
element of the city might attempt such
violence. has placed an ultra military
guard around Consul General Lees resi-
deDce. Many of the Americans in the city
who believe they are in danger. prepared
their affairs for any emergency. This
news is what gave rise to the rumor that
Gen. Lse had been assassinated.
The feeling of uneasiness felt here be-
cause Of the proximity OF this city has
been much alIayed especially since yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock when Admiral
Sicard's imposing fleet of battleships,
consisting of the New York, Indiana,
Massachusetts, Iowa and Texas, arrived
off the bar. The Maine, Montgomery and
Detroit ana the torpedo boats Gushing
and Dupont left the harbor at II o'clock
and joined the feet the whole making an
impressively formidable appearance and
one inspiring confidence In the strong
right arm of Uncle Sam.
The stopping OF the warships hers Is
a break in the program OF the admiral,
whuse plan, under orders, was not to
stop. Ine fleet, however, will leave to-
morrow for Tortugas.
The Spanish consul here was uneasy
over the repeated rumors to the effect that
Gen. Lee had fallen victim To assaf sins
and wiTrs To the authorities of Havana
for the truth.

GUILD Of
ST. VINCENT.
The Thirteenth Anniver-
Sary Observed
AT ST. STEPHENS CHURCH
Impressive Sermon Preached by
Rev. Walter 6. Webster.
AT ST. STEPHENS CHURCH
LARGE CONGREGATION PRESENT

Rev. Walter q. Webster preached the
18th anniversary sermon of the st. vim
cents Guild at St. Stephens church last
night. The members of the gull oocu-
pied seats In the centre of the church.
The text was: "Be not overcome with
evil, bus overcome evil with good. He
said in part:
MEN frequently speak OF the struggle
OF lifs ana bring before US the realization
that this life VIC have To live Is serious
matter; that there are difficulties with
which we have TO contend. The worst,
perhaps the most serious, are the insid-
ious temptations of Satan.
"rhis epistle was written to the
Christians in Rome.
Tine Romans did not learn TO reyer-
once themselves, and that IL the reason
of their downfall, and that OF their fair
city. There are three ways of overcoming
temptation. Let us take the surmounting
of one of the mountain peaks OF Switzer-
land by three young men az an illustra-
ton of these ways.
1.-The three young men start out bitbely
and merrily, but finally the way tegins
to grow harder. One says: 1t IS easier
to go down than it is TO 90 up. lie goes
down, at first gradually. then faster. At
last he goes over precipice 10 destruc-
tion.
"The other two young men go on. One
decides to 90 along without guide. lie
steps on treacherous piece OF snow and
ice, and he, too. NESTS death. The third
secures capable guide, and although
the way is hard, he and his.guide finally
reach the top. The moral Is that one
yields willingly to temptation. The other
tiles to GO trusting In himself, and the
other puts implicit trust in the son OF
God and is led by Him to victory.
''In the youth. Satan finds particular
fold for practicing his wills. He says to
the young man: The Bible and Christ
ianity are very we'll for old men and
women There is no truthssand no good
bet that which comes from God. When
Is resistance best made and when ~ IL
most effective? The answer Is not dill
cuit-in youth.
"This epistle is meant for this guild,
for you are all includedain the church and
are followers of Christ. You. as young
mon, shave to meet the vaccinations of
satan. and what better example can you
have than that of ST. Vincent. He faith
fully adhered to mis- religion uncer the
greatest persecution, and then and there.
we are told, his gloriiioation began. Vim
cent in not victory. IL Is not the one
whose armor has been laid aside, tut it
means one that goes forth TO conquer
And so. bye and bye, when we have laid
aside our armoi il we are faithful In our
warfare, we shall wear the crown of
eternal life, and be- received In TO the
Kingdom of heaven.
