ed large cong egaton at Wesley Monu-
mental Church yesterday morning on the
Religious Needs Of Cuba
After describing the Thirty-frsfs
stormy voyage and Decentralization at
Cienfuegos, Mr. White took the congre-
cation with him into the heart of Santa
Clara province. showed the fields, deserted
by man. rank with grass and weeds; the
villages, with their squalid huts and
starving fever stricken inhabitants; the
native hospitals. in which the less I'M
fortunate are trying to care for a few of
the destitute; where the sick lie on COTS
of sacking with uttle or no covering, and
the most meager nourishment.
Mr.. White stated that the people have
broken away by the hundreds from the
Roman Catholic faith, and eagerly en-
brace any opportunity of listening to one
preaching the gospel Of Jesus Christ ana
Offering In his own life an example of the
leavenlng power Of the Holy Spirit. There
are a few earnest missionaries in differ
ent parts of the island, and the Cubans
go in crowds to hear them preach. Many
profess conversion, and give evidences of
their change Of heart in better lives, and
greater zeal for lettering the condition
of those around them.
Mr.. White himself preached to
these people through an inter-
prefer He attended on one occas-
Gpn mission Sunday school, which was
conducted every day in the week. After
some time spent in teaching the children
who gathered there 0 read the Bible 20
sing hymns and to repeat verses from the
scriptures, the preacher and teachers dis
tributed to the children pieces of hard
tack. two barrels Of which had been
brought from the camp. Each child re-
oeiyed two pieces. ana Mr.. White found
that in many ms ,ances this was the only
sustenance provided to the fam
lily represented by that child The
destltution of the people is something ap-
palling. said Mr.. White. Cuba
present now an ooen door and a
ripe field for missionaries. Those who can
speak the Spanish language can reap
great harvests Of souls if the work is
pressed Immediately.
At the conclusion of Mr. Whites ad-
dress Mrs. Ackerman sang "Zions Bat
tie Hymn" the choir singing the chorus
1t was a fitting close, and stirring ap-
peal to all Christians to be up and doing
for the night cometh, when no man
can work"

Clerk Masters of the market was pleas

market houses to be found anywhere
Enough hose has been given MIR. Masters
to have the flushing properly done, and
he proposes to continue the work during

quired an immense lot of work to clean
the streets surrounding the market after
they have been subjected to filth scattered

HELD BY THE PROVOST.
Private Arnold Has Been Turned
over by His Regiment.

Private Arnold or Company l Of the
Third kentucky Regiment is locked up at
provost headquarters. The man was sent
into the city under guard as soon as the
news Of the death OF Private Hiram Hunt
whom he shot, got abroad in the camp.
He was sent in as a measure of precau-
ton, as one of the officers said yesterday
that there are men in the regiment who
seem TO believe the killing was not alto
gether accidental.
Col. Smith says he will try to have
general court detailed for the trial Of Ar
mold as soon as possible. Charges will be
preferred by the captain of Company /. It
IS probable that manslaughter will be
named as the offense As such, 1t is be-
yond the jur sdiction Of the summary
court Of the regiment, and a general court
Will therefore have to investigate the kill
ing OF Hunt
Arnold exchanged a knife or machete
for the old Spanish Remington with when
hunt was shot just day or two before

however, and decided he would fix 1t up
b.t Accordingly he began to tinker
with il and had it in good condition. The
trigger he had filed away until he had
made 1t yield 70 the pressure of a hair.
and 1t was probably due to that that the
cartridge that was slipped into the bore
exploded.
1t has developed that two or three of
the non commissioned officers of the com
pany mad noticed Arnold experimenting
with the Old rife, and had warned LIN
not TO slip the Springfield cartridge into
II again, as 1t was a dangerous thing to
q
somebody. Just how far such a warning
may go with a court is NOT known.

will be ready TO start on the section desig-
mated for the third year. According to
the present plan the entire system is to
be completed in four separate sections, a
year being allowed for the completion of
each.
There viii probably not be the same ex-
pense attached to the section TO be done
next year, as there will not be so much
paving to cut This was quite an item
of expense with the section just COM
pleted, and there is still some work that
remains to be done, or rather, to be gone
over again. II is likely the chairman of
the street and lane committee will either
depute some one, or go himself on an
inspection trip to find out what streets
are in acceptable condition, and what not
