d1st Episcopal Church South opened last
night at Hamilton, Va. and will be in ses-
sion until Friday
Rev. j. IA. Boyd. d. d. presiding cider of
the district. who resides at Alexandria.
Va, presided and will conduct the DELHI
erations. The opening sermon was preach
ed by Rev. C. II. Buchanan of Hillshoro'
Va. his text being from John 3;I6-'For
God so loved the word that He gave His
only begotten Son. that whatsoever beiiev-
eth IN Tim should not perish. but have ever
lasting life y large and attentive au-
dience OF the delegates and friends tillad
the church
At the conclusion of the sermon the con-
ference roll was called. Rev. Il. V. Reges-
ter was unanimously reelected secretary
The chair announced standing committees
and outlined the character of the work to
be considered by the conference
The question of admitting George w.
Gather on trial into the travelling connec-
ton was considered. and upon the recon-
mendation of a committee on examination
he was elected by ballot.
After some minor announcements the
meeting adjourned.
In the afternoon a missionary institute
was held. conducted by DR. Boyd with
Rev. George T. Tyler of Falls Church as
secretary. The position of the church IN
this locality from a missionary standpoint
was considered, and methods of Interest ing
and educating the people to do and sus-
tain domestic and fc~ ign missions were
discussed. Many of the pastors gave m
formal talks. Revs. Sydenstricker. Tyler,
Hammond. REGISTER, Blakemore and Wells
were among those who spoke.
1t was the opinion of the speakers that
systematic work must be done in the con-
gregations in the raising of funds, with
specific work in the field where actual re-
suits can be more readily seen: that giving
for the cause was a matter of education,
and that it was wise to train the young
through the Sunday schools and Epworth
Leagues.
The institute adjourned to meet at the
call of the presiding elder two days in adj
vance and at the seat of the next district
conference.
The conference will meet each day at $50

O'Clock each morning sermon will be

MANILA, July la collision between
the two armies at San Fernando seems
inevitable soon. The insurgents are
active all around the town and can be
seen working in the trenches to
strengthen their position. Day and
night forces are at work. 1t is esti-
mated that 5000 men were seen march
ing in the road north of the town Satur-
day morning. The Americans turned
out and manned the defenses, expecting
an attack. The soldiers slept in their
clothes and breakfasted at o'clock in
the morning so as to be ready for an
other daybreak assault. The commits
sion of three Spanish officers who
Entered the Insurgsnt Lines
a fortnight ago to make final attempt
to arrange for the release Of the Spanish
prisoners have not returned. Their
long absence has occasioned alarm, but
reports come to Manila that they were
received by Aguinaldo at Tarlac and
entertained Hospitality. It is said that
Aguinaldo gave a banquet in their
honor, all the leading families Of the
rebel leaders present cabinet attending.
hence the Spaniards in Manila hope
that the mission of the commissioners
will be successful.
General Ovenshine is in the hospital
