5O,OOO,OOO,FOR PEACE.

The patriotic fervor for the old
flag and an appropriation found We
nement expression in congress on
Tuesday last. IlR view of the COM
plications with Spain it was deemed
expedient to have a large sum of
money Immediately available, and
a bill was introduced by Mr..
Cannon of Illinois, appropriatine
fifty millions of dollars. Debate
on the measure was limited to a
few n ilutes to each member, but
a great deal was said in that time.
Mr.. Bailey OF Texas, the brightest
among the young democrats of the
New South made five minute
speech:
al have no sympathy with
those rash and incorporate spirits
who would provoke war simply
for the sake of fighting; and yet
w uld rather follow them and suf-
fer all the miseries and misfortunes
their heedleSsneSS would bring
than to follow those other contemp-
tibIe, mercenary Creatures who are
crying for peace at any price.
(Great applause.) We are fo'
peace as long as it can be main.
tanned with honor, but we are for
honor if war is necessary to defend
our flag or protect the rights
of Americana citizens anywhens
throughout tine world. (Applause.,
This is but a type of the dozef
short speeches made. but they tel
very plainly the story of devoter
to the national honor both NNtf
and South. In the face of thi
spirit Spain can have war if sh'
wants it. The United States viii

force the. United States hair

IN mEMORIAm.

The victims of the Maine disaster
buried in Havana cannot be disinterred
and brought to the United States, al
though numerous requests by their
friends have been made. AS a sanitary
measure the law does not premit the
removal of any buried body will hin five
years. Memorial services were held
on Friday last at the cemetery in honor
of the dead, and nearly every American
in Havana was present, The following
Memorial was drawn up and 81 gned by
every American present;
American Citizens: Havana placed the
first wreath of flowers on the grave OF the
heroes of the battleship Maine. May Ameri-
cans in Havana in future years continue this
custom year by year. May they KEEP sacre
ne memory of those whose lives were sacrl-
feed upon Il e altar of their country"
Capt. Sig sbee of the Maine attempted
to make a brief memorial address, but
was so overcome by his feelings that
it was impossible. Father Chadwick
the heroic chaplain of the Maine,
offered the following touching prayer:
Almighty, all mere full God, whose property
is to have mercy and save, we humbly peseech
tn ,e have mercy on the souls OF thy children.
that although Il erdust lies in this consecra :
ed ground, their souls immortal may live and
reign with thee in the company of the blessed
forever Remember, God, they are thy crea-
lures. made by thy hands, that they believed
and hoped in thee. Bless, we beseech thee,
Cher most fruitful faith. Look forgivingly
upon this last awful sacrifice in which they
ended IL cir lives. Give them the reward of
their faith, the fulfllment of their hope
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Most merci-
full father mindful of the passion and death
If thine only begotten son who offered him
self holy holocaust upon the cross for sal
vation. grant these, thy servants. through his
suffering. forgiveness for their sins and Life
everlasting. Regard the comely figure of thy
well beloved son. Behold his body torn and
lacerated and crucified and dead and buried.
Grant that these humiliations and pains will
not be for naught for our beloved dead, but
that they may come into possession of their
great reward which was purchased by Christ's
precious blood. Jesus Christ, our leader and
our captain, who died to teach us how to die,
TO te9ch us the nOUnlnSneSS VI UettUu itHs
prove the life beyond, may thy wounds be the
source of food and drink and eternal life for
our dead. May thy cross be their glory. thy
resurra actiOn their comfort and Solace and thy
eternal presence their abiding joy forever.
Eternal rest grant them, and may perpetual
light. o, Lord, shine upon them. May their
souls through the. mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen
At the conclusion of the prayer Con-
sui General Lee tried to speak, but
seeing the distress ofevery countenance
he moved away from the graves and
the others followed. s...
