!" FIGHTING BOB'S' RELIGION,
WHY THE CAPTAIN DID NOT
STOP TO PRAY.
Thought It More Important to Fight
the Enemy and Rescue the
Wounded, But He Praised God.

New York, Aug. 1.-Following is a
copy of a letter sent by Captain Evans
on July %, in reply to an article pub
lished by the Index at Williamsport
Pa, praising Captain Philip of the
TIE xas for his "after action piece" and
making contrast between Captain Phil
ip's action and what is referred to by
the paper as the frequently published
profanity of Captain Evans:
81 beg to acknowledge the receipt of
a copy of your paper, which you have
been good enough to send to me.
II am somewhat at a loss to know
whether you sent it for the purpose of
calling my attention to the cuss words
attributed to me in the newspapers, or
to Captain Philips official show of
Christian spirit in announcing to his
men on the quarter deck of the Texas,
after the battle of Santiago, that he
believed in Almighty God. AS, how
ever, you have seen fit to drag my
name in your newspaper l hope that
you will publish this reply, that those
who have read your issue of July 10
may also read what l have to say
about it.
81 have never considered it neces-
sary, and I am sure that a great ma
jority of officers in the navy do not
consider it necessary, to announce to
their crews that they believe in AL
mighty God 1 think that goes without
saying. We, of course, have the right
to show by our acts how much we are
imbued with this belief. Captain Philip
had perfect right to show this to his
men as he did; it was simply matter
Of taste
"Now, for myself. shortly after the
Spanish cruiser ViZcaya had struck her
colors and my crew had secured the
guns, the chaplain of the ship, an ex-
cellent man, came to me and said:
Captain, shall l say a few words of
thanks to Almighty God for our vic
tOry?'
II said BY all means do so; 1 will
have the men sent aft for that pur-
pose and was on the point of doing
so when it was reported to me that
Spanish battleship was standing toward
us from the eastward. My first duty
to God and my country was to sink
this Spanish battleship, and 1 imme-
diately made preparations to do so,
when it was discovered that this ship
was an Austrian. l found my ship
surrounded by boats carrying dying
ard wounded prisoners and others of
the crew of the Vizcaya, to the num-
Der of $50. To leave these men to suf-
fer for want of food and clothing while
called my men aft 10 prayers. was
not my idea of either Christianity or
1 preferred to clothe the
naked, feed the hungry and succor the
sick, and 1 am strongly of the opinion
that Almighty God has not put a black
mark against me on account of it.
do not know whether l shall stand with
Captain Philip among the first in the
hereafter, but have this to say in con-
clusion: That every drop in my body,
on the afternoon of the third of July
was singing thanks and praise to God
Almighty for the victory we had Won"

NICARAGUA CANAL,
Mckinley Favors Its Completion By
the Government

Washington, Aug. 1.-Ex- Senator
Warner Miller of New York, the presi-
dent of the Nicaraguan canal commits
sion. and Senator Morgan of Alabama,
the leading advocate of that project in
congress, had a conference on the Mic
araguan canal question with President
Mckinley today. The conference was
short. The president, it is said, ex-
pressed his accuiescence in the belief
that government control of the canal
is now necessary, and that the war
makes the canal Indispensable to the
United States. The president, his call
ers say, intends to make strong recon-
mendations to congress for legislation
for making the canal the property of
the government.
Senator Morgan also had a final word
to say to the president about the Ha-
waiian commissioners work. He said
that Hawaii has now as good a COVE q
ment as the states, and that there were
excellent men administering the gov
eminent of the islands.

CALIFORNIA LIVE STOCK.
Reports Concerning the
Death of Cattle.

Fresno. Cal, Aug. Information re-
ceived from the various cattle-raising
centers of this district show that re-
ports as to thousands of animals dying
have been greatly exaggerated. The
cattle are thin in many parts of the
district, but few have died from lack of
water or feed. On the Kings and lower
San Joaquin rivers many head of stock
are dying from swamp fever. This is
caused by the animals drinking water
from stagnant pools. Several hundred
head, probably, have died in these sec
items. On the large ranches it cooks as
though cattle will get through the sum-
mer in fair condition. The smaller
places may not do so well.
Over 10000 sheep have been driven
from the national parks during the
last few weeks. It is difficult to ascer-
tain where these animals are to be pas
tured until the rains come.

Key West, Aug. 1.-The Spanish
schooner Dolores of 60 tons, loaded
with corn and provisions and bound
from Progress. Mexico. for Batabana,

ted to approach the Badger or her
prizes and the details cannot be

residents of Forest Dale for the sprink-
ling of Seventh East street alongside the
Calder's park car line. The petitioners
proffered to supply the water and pay
one-half the monthly cost of running a
sprinkling cart II the county would pay
the other SLIPS. Favorable action was
ordered, Commissioners Hall and Rawlins
voting in the affirmative. Chairman Arm
strong was opposed to the scheme for
the stated reason that every road in the
county should be sprinkled but to do so
is beyond the cOunty'S means, and to
sprinkle Seventh East now would be an
unwarranted discrimination.

TRESPASSING SHEEP.
On behalf of the many campers and
pleasure-seekers at Brighton's resort, H.
G. Whitney called attention to the pres
ence of herds of sheep grazing in the vi
entity of Dog lake, at the head of Big
Cottonwood canyon. The sheep befoul the
water destroy the foliage and are other
wise nuisance. Mr.. Whitney's COM
suggested that Road Super
visor Brighton be given powers of a
deputy sheriff to remove the sheep, whose
presence there is unlawful. The super
visor was directed to notify the herders
to remove the sheep to beyond the pro-
hibited domain, under pain of arrest and
prosecution.
TAXATION OF ALLEYS.
S. w. Darke, attorney for the Pixton es-
tate, entered a protest to the taxing of
ten feet of ground on Main street, which
Assessor Jennings stated that the records
failed to show that the alley was other
than private property. Attorney Darke
replied that he could demonstrate to the
boards satisfaction that years ago the
.en-foot strip had been condemned by
decree of the district court as and for a
public alley. and therefore it was not tax
able. The matter went over until Mr..
Darke could present transcript of the
courts judgment.
