represents everything that is triumphant
in religion, and typiies everything that is reno
waiting in the soul. 1t is a moment when the
clouds Of gloom and sorrow become tinged with
a golden brightness-aye, seem to break and
part before the superior forces OF a universal joy.
None can underestimate its importance, except
such as can experience no satisfaction in the vic
tory OF the Master, and can take no delight in
rising from the thraldom Of sin.
No one ever denied that Christ was nailed to
the cross; none but q~uibblers can deny that He
died thereon, that He was buried, and arose from
the tomb on the third day after His death. THE
HISTORICAL EVIDENCE ON THESE
POINTS IS TOO STRONG TO REQUIRE
COMMENT.

GERMANS TO LAND
IN YEN|EZ(jEL. 4
But the Monroe Doctrine Will
Not Be Injured in Any
Way Thereby.
lRr Assnciated Press.l


WASHINGTON. August 11.-Niinister
Bowen, at Caracas, to-day advised the
State Department that the Germans in
tend to sland q naval force at Porto
Cabello to protect German interests there,
which are threatened by the uprising now
in progress The minister advised that
we follow suit. After a conference be-
tween tho officials of the State and Navy
Departments instructions were cabled TO
Commander Nichols. of the Topeka. to
proceed to Porto Cabello and land q, naval
force in case of attack. The Topeka
has already left for Porto Cabello.
The following instructions were cabled
to the Topeka: BE ready to land force
in case of attack on port for protection
of American interests. and for protection
of foreign property also, il requested.
Prevent Dombardrnent without due no
tee
The Topeka will probably reach Porto
Cabello. which is only a short sail from
La Gura. some time to-day. There ap-
pears to be no question as to the right
of the German naval forces to land fo-
the protection of German interests 1t
in no way involves the Monroe Doctrine
Germany has been Keeping close watch
on Venezuela for some months, and at
one time contemplated taking Vene-
L
ment of certain German claims.
1t was in that connection that the Ger
man Ambassador at Washington. Dr. Won
Holleben. made inquiry of President
Roosevelt and the State department as
to whether such a move by Germany
for the sole purpose Of collecting a claim.
and not for the purpose of territorial
expansion. would meet with any disfavor
by the American Government. The re-
Spouse of the United States left Germany
free to act. as the assurance that no
territorial extension was intended. re-
moved the case from the operation of the
Monroe Doctrine. The present landing
Of a German force has no connection with
GermanN's former move against Fene-
zuela. as the assurances given by Ger
many serve to show that there is no I'LL
terror purpose behind the protection Of
German interests at Porto Cabello.

DID GAINES FIRE
MYSTERIOUS SHOT
Police Don't Believe He Shot
Wright-An ImpossibiIity,
They Say.

It now appears that the wrong man
has been accused of having shot Jacob
Wright. the negro postman who was
wounded on Fifth Street last Saturday
morning. and ii is more than proba BILE
the charges asainst Lewis Gaines, the en-
ploye of the Locomotive Works. will fail
in the Police Court. It is stated by peo
pie who have made a close Investigation
of the affair that it would have been u
physical imposSibiiitv for Gaines to have
fired the bullet which struck the mail
carrier.
At the time Wright was wounded he
was at the corner OF Fift,, and Duval
Streets, while Gaines was nearly. four
blocks away shooting q newly-purchased
pistol at a target. This fact alone has
convinced many police officers that 1t
was not a bullet from the gun of Gaines
that inflicted the dangerous wound IN
the body Of the postman-
But in addition to the great distance.
further than any ordinary 32-calibre re-
v0lyer will carry there was between the
target and the spot where the negro was
wounded two large brick houses. which
the bullet would have had to penetrate
in order to reach Fifth and Duval Streets
That the bullet did pass through these
houses is too absurd to consider for q
been invented that. will dodge oostruc-
tons or penetrate brick walls. the Off
GERS are firm in their belief that the
wrong man was arrested when Gaines
was taken in tow.
The condition OF Wright is somewhat
improved. and the attending physicians
are now hopeful for the ultimate recovery
of the unfortunate man. He IS stu con-
fined to a he'd in the Lea sue Hospital on
Third Street.
