GOD REIGNETH DURING THIS WAR
Rev. Mr.. Beauchamp breaches Ser
mon of Thanksgiving at st. James.

The sermon of Rev. w. B. Beauchamp
at st. James Methodist church Sunday af-
ternoon was one of thanksgiving for the
success Of American arms in the present
war. He said in the Offset that he would
have held this service the Sunday indi-
Gated by the Presidents message, but
was away at that time. His text was
THE Lord reigneth, let the people re-
Joice." He said in part: mo sensible
man WILL Think, dispute this expression
Of the Psalrnist, for on every hand we
have striking evidences of Gods over,
ruling providence. and no matter what
our urroundings-social civil, political
the supremest source of comfort to every
heart should be that the Lord reigneth.
Empires have risen and fallen, nations
have been born and obliterated from the
face of the earth, yet God reigneth, and
He only is the Lord"
After quoting General Sherman's decla-
ration that war is HE'LL and comment
ing thereon, the preacher said that in all
the history of the world nothing great
had been accomplished without the she'd
ding of blood. The sacrifice of Christ was
necessary to the redemption of humanity,
and so on through the centuries the Will
of God had been worked out by means
other than peaceful. 1t might seem in
consistent in those engaged in preaching
and teaching the doctrines of the lowly
Nazarene TO look upon war with COM
placency, but the speaker dared assert
that war. in many instances. accomplish
ed certain ends for good that could not
have been brought to pass by any other
means.
Mr.. Beauchamp commended in eloquent
terms the motive given for the present
war with Spain. But" said he, 1.-The
moment this country enters into a con-
fiict for spoils and the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
territory, it will invite the most scathing
censurei infict upon its people a lasting
disgrace, and transform its character OF
humanitarian into that OF a grasping
giant But" he said, II believe
that God Is shaping the mission and
destiny of this country for a far
nobler purpose; that the great duty
of our people will eventuate in preserving
and giving out TO others the purity of the
Gospel of Christ, and guaranteeing 10 all
the right to worship God in spirit and in
truth. Spain. which has been the most
lntolerant OF nations in this respect, has
been slowly but surely losing its power,
until now there is scarcely a province
outside of the mother country II can
call its own"
Concluding, Mr.. Beauchamp smoke exul- |

sHAFTER REPLIES TO GARCIA.
A Courteous Letter ReRretting With.
drawal of Cuban.


A special cable from Santiago. July
22d, via Kingston, Jamaica. July 23d. says:
General Shafter has sent the following
letter in reply to the communication adj
dressed to him by General Garcia, in
which the Cuban leader complained Of
the treatment accorded to the Cubans
and announced the withdrawal of his
troops from further cooperation with the
Americans:
81 must say that / was very much sur
prised at the receipt Of your letter this
morning, and regret exceedingly that you
should regard yourself as in any way
sighted or aggrieved.
you will remember the fact that in
vited you TO accompany me into the town
OF Santiago to witness the surrender,
which you declined.
This war, as you know, is between the
United States and Spain, and il is out of
the question for me to take any action in
regard to your forces in connection with
the surrender which was made solely to
the American army.
THE policy Of my government in con-
tinuing in power temporarily the persons
occupying the Offices is one which L am,
of course, unable to discuss. To show you
the views held by my government. l
inclose a copy of the instructions receiv-
ed by me yesterday from the President.
which appear TO cover everything that
can possibly arise in the government of
this territory while 1t is held by the
United States.
Full credit has been given to you and
your valiant men in my report to my
government, and I wish to acknowledge
to you the great and valuable assistance
you rendered during the campaign.
Il regret very much to know OF your
determination 10 withdraw yourself from
this vicinity. l remain,
yours very sincerely, SKATER,
Major General"

son OF the proprietor. identified the goods
and the satchel which contained them as
his property, which was taken from the
store on last Saturday night Justice
Crutchheld, on this evidence, sent the
defendant on to the grand jury. MT.
Shore also testified that the window
had been broken that night. making an
opening large enough for a man TO enter.
FOUND AT HIS HOUSE.
The drugs and stachel were found at
Creary's house, when 1t was searched
by the officers. Policeman Craft made
the arrest.
Creary was not to rest yet. His next
charge was that Of entering box-car IN
the Richmond and Allegheny yards. ana
stealing a suit of clothes which belonged
to Yardmaster Quarles. The suit had
the yardmaster's name on 1t. and Mr..
Dunn, OF Stokes & Dunn, merchant tai
lors, testified that his house made the
clothes. However, Mr.. Murray. counsel
for the defendant, wished Mr.. Stokes,
who is out of the city. to be present
to testify, so the hearing went over until
the 18th Of August.
WHO CREARY is.
Creary Is a medium-sized man; is OF
dark complexion. and wears mustache.
but no beard. He is well-known about
the city. and is said to be a confirmed
opium-eater. 1t is believed that this
habit is responsible for unsoundness or
mind. He looked very much detected in
cour. yesterday morning; his face was
very pale. and he looked down. Creary
is married, but has no children. He was
for some time a Chesapeake and Ohio
yardmasttr, but of late has had no en-
ployment He had in his possession as
fine a lot Of skeleton keys as one might
wish to see.

with being disorderly on the street, and
was fined $3.50 and costs.
Justice Johr then went into hearing
his numerous Saturday and Sunday
DRINKS, with which the court closed.

And drive our stakes around the lakes

OF the occurrence, with the exception OF

aboard the ship when she left New York.
He said It must have been placed aboard
