BRIGGS TO CHANGE HIS CREED.
Noted Presbyterian Divine VIII Join
the Episcopal Church.

Noted Presbyterian Divine VIII Join
the Episcopal Church.
The New York Herald says: Rev. DR.
Charles A. Briggs, professor of biblical
theology in Union Seminary, has sent his
resignation to the presbytery.
This action is preliminary to the applica-
ton Of the famous theologian to be re-
ceived into the Protestant Episcopal
Church as a priest of that communion The
latter has not yet been fled but the bishop
of this Episcopal diocese is aware that it
will be filed, and that the ordering of Prof.
Briggs to the Episcopal diaconate will
probably take place on Trinity Sunday
next. Prof. Briggs daughter, who, like her
father, Is an eminent scholar has long
been a commandment of st. Agnes Chapel,
Trinity parish.
In spite of Prof. Briggs eminence as a
theologian. he will have to begin in the
lowest order Of the Episcopal priesthood
end remain a deacon for one year before
being advanced The Presbyterian ordina-
ton will not be recognized. This is the law
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and is
not due to the fact that Prof Briggs is not
in good standing In his own communion.
Prof. Briggs action will be followed, II is
said, by similar action on the part of some
other wsll-known seminarians not, how
ever, any in Union, SO far as known.

MINES IN HAVANA HARBOR.
Experiments Made by Ohicials Re

fore the Mnine's Arrival.
The Havana correspondent of the New
York World, in a telegram last night, said:
1 have learned the kind and sizes of torpe-
does and mines in the Spanish arsenal here
1 have learned also that some were expert
mented with the week before the Maine ar
rived.
Two strings of torpedoes were run across
the narrow harbor entrance recently. They
are placed as described, and are small float
ing boxes two feet by one foot. They are
called here mine torpedoes.'
There are in the arsenal today fifty
buoy mines loaded with gun cotton.
They are two shallow head spears placed
together. four feet each in diameter and
each about two and half feet thick.
Eighteen mine torpedoes similar to those
recently placed in the entrance to the har-
Dor were put aboard the torpedo chaser
Philippines yesterday.
The rumors that the officers of the Span
ish transport Legazpi hauled down the
Names half-masted ensign are false. The
American colOrs were first hoiSted clear to
the peak then taken down by Chief Quar-
termaster Hulgren by order of Captain
Cowies of the Fern. The Spanish admiral
was notified Of the fact.
The ceremony took place at sunset. Then
foEso XII and the day formally closed.
The officers and crew of the lighthouse
tender Fern passed toward her, lowering
the national flag and saluting. Meanwhile
the huttering strips of bunting, all that was
left of the Names ensign, were being haul
ed clear to the top. Then the crew of the
Fern faced about and stood at silent sa-
lutte. while the historic tatters came slowly
down.
A sinewy seaman descended the Names
single mast. He had Captain Sigsbee's
Remnant between his teeth. The insignium
Of command and the national coiors reach
ed the deck together.
The saluting hands on the Fern dropped
and the United States battle ship Maine
ceased to officially exist.
She is no longer a bit of United States
SOIL" according to naval usage; she is
no more than the abandoned hulk of a
wrecked merchantmen.
There is half a million dollars worth of
uninjured machinery within her, and four
1O-inch guns still lie in the turrets. They
could not be secured without the use of
prohibited explosives. The guns when new
cost $4,000 each.

Siboney, Province of Santiago de Cuba,
July /, p. m, via Playa del Este.-(De-
layed in transmission.)-At this hour the
fighting still continues The entire re-
serves Of the American army have been
ordered to the front at once, apparently
with the intention of forcing our way TO
Santiago de Cuba. The troops have ad-
vanced nearly TO the city, but the forta-
fcations are very strong.
Our losses are heavy. An officer from
the field estimates our killed and wounded
at over 1000 men.
Shells. supposedly from the Spanish feet,
did heavy execution among our troops.
During a hull in the fighting an i'm
pressive incident occurred. The Twenty
first infantry was out in front and suffer
ing loss from the Spanish fire but the
men sang The Star Spangled Banner"
even the wounded Joining in the singing.
D. NAT this hour, p. m, the fight
ing has practically stopped. 1t will be re-
surned in the morning. Our troops have
gained several breastworks. They en-
countered a barbed wire fence eignt feet

San Juan heights have fallen and the
way is now opened for an advance on
Moro Castle. 1t was a glorious victory.
but very dearly purchased.
''The place was one of the strongest
Spanish outposts. well fortified and val
iantly defended. The position was an ex-
cellent one. San Juan hill is steep and
artillery was located on it. It was also
occupied by barracks and other build
ings.
But the American troops stormed the
heights and Spanish valor had to yield
to the bulldog tenacity and courage Of
lthe Anglo-Saxon.
LAS / write our troops are swarming
up the hill and covering it like ants. The
Spaniards are demoralized. The fighting
has been of the hardest kind and our
troops have suffe red severely, but the
enemy's works are in their hands and
they do not count the cost.
eel Caney is also ours. The general ad-
vance, which began at p. m, has been
successful all along the line.
after driving the enemy out Of FL Ca
ney the troops took possession of the
city and destroyed the Spanish forts by
which 1t had been defended. The Span
iards fed into the city of Santiago, where
they are now.

A bursting shell almost annihilated an
entire company of our troops"

In reply TO General Dufield's question:
What IS the news?" Admiral Sampson
replied: There is not Spaniard left IN

Later General Dufheld signaIled that his
scouts thought reinforcements were
marching to the battered old fort and Ad-

A little later the RECON joined the New
York in sending S-inch shells into the city
of Santiago. This was kept up until Lac

sent message saying his troops could not
