This was the third successive at
tempt on the life of General Min, who

pecially for the wholesale execution
of persons condemned by drumhead
arms in their hands.
General Min was returning from
the capital to his summer residence.
at Peterhof, and had just greeted his
wife and daughter on the platform.
when young almost a girl
approached from behind and fired
two shots into his back and then
three more into his body. as it sank
to the ground. Further shots were
prevented by Madame Min, who
threw herself upon the murderess
and siezed the hand which held the
pistol. The woman did not attempt
TO escape, but she cautioned Madame
Min not to touch handbag which
she had placed on the platform be-
fore shooting the General, explaining
that it contained a bomb.
To the police the girl acknowl-
edged that she had done the deed,
saying she had executed the sentence
of the fighting organization of the So
cial revolutionists, but she refused
to give her name.

Havana (By Cable) At the mo-
ment Monday when the government
was issuing it's proclamation offering
pardon to rebels who would lay
down their arms. it's forces were
dealing the most telling blow that
has yet been struck against insur-
gents in the field. For several days
it has been stated that General Guz-
mans force of insurgents, which was
variously estimated at from 200 up
wards, contemplated an attack on
Cienfuegos. Colonel Vale, with a
detachment of rural guards and vol
unteers, was dispatched to Cienfue-
COS for the purpose of engaging Guz-
man and breaking up the band.
The encounter of the two forces
resulted in the worst disaster which
the insurgents have sustained up to
this time. They lost II men killed
and many wounded, while the loss
to the government force was one man
killed. The government is without
further particulars of the fight.
The governments offer of amnesty,
which was issued in the afternoon,
is variously received. 1t is impossi-
BILE to say what its effect will be upon
those to whom it is addressed. Alz
fredo Zayas, president of the Senate
and leader of the Liberal party,
stated that he was unable to express
any opinion as to whether the insur-
gents would grasp the opportunity
offered them of surrendering, but
said that in his opinion as lawyer
Secretary Montalvo could not legally
issue such an order, for the consti-
tuition provides that only the Presi-
dent may make such proclamation,
which must be countersigned by some
members of the Cabinet
Secretary Montalvo stated that the
offer of clemency was. issued by the
direct order of President Palma and
also gazetted officially. The Secre-
tary added that the document was
in reality an order of the Secretary
of the Interior, issued by direction
of the President to General Rodri-
guez, commander of the rural guards.
The foreign element, including
many Americans, criticise the offer of
the amnesty as a weak and disap-
pointing action, showing desire for
peace at any price and willingness
to sacrifice the possibility of future
security to a present expediency.
Secretary Montalvos' order does
not provide for the relief of alleged
conspirators who are now in jail in
Havana, and the question has arisen
as to what shall be done with them.

TEREsTINe TALK
Lecturer colIInse Expects to See
Liberal, Higher Metropolis In Place
OF the One Now In Ashes In the
North

The lecture before the Progressive
club in Blanchard hall Sunday after
noon by DR.. ]. r. Collinge upon "The
Soul Of San Francisco in Her Down.
fall' was an eloquent tribute to the
stricken city and a prophecy Of what
the new city will be that arises from
the ashes, not from a material aspect
but from the viewpoint of the lecturer
OF soul expression and soul manifesto
tion.
The rather un usual view OF {. city
having a soul was elucidated by the
argument that as each human being as
an individual is but the expression and
manifestation of that individuals soul,
then the city, being but collection of
individuals, must have collective
soul; and that the predominating or
majority expression of individuality as
found in the individuals making up the
city therefore becomes the soul express
sion and manifestation Of that city.
Large-SouIed City
San Francisco and her people were
pictured as large souled and broad
minded liberal in every way. accord
ing to each and every individual the
right to live and express his life in his
own manner.
these liberal and broadminded people
was claimed to be, in its higher aspect,
but step in the evolution of the soul
of a great people, the calamity bringing
the opportunity for far greater soul ex-
preston and manifestation In building
a new city in every way the superior
of the old.
The lecturer predicted that the new
San Francisco would be the freest, most
liberal, most progressive and most in
dividual city on the American con-
tinent, and that out of the struggle and
downfall Of the past would come the
higher and nobler evolution of the
future.
The collection was donated to the San
Francisco relief fund.
A musical program was rendered dur
ing the afternoon in which the singing
Of Hugh Calender and his sweet voiced
daughter, Miss Stella, was feature.

CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT
CARRY LONG FACES
CHRISTIAN AND WORLDLY GLAD.
NESS WIDE APART
Pastor Smale Explains That Chris
tlanity Is Not illustrated by Jo-
vIalIty, Testing and the MirthfuI
Passing Of Time

At the New Testament church, Bur-
bank hall. yesterday morning, Pastor
Joseph Smale preached from Psalm
las, 1, q: "I will extol Thee. my God,
o King; and 1 will bless thy name for
ever and ever. Every day will I bless
Thee; and I will praise Thy name for
ever and ever"
In the course Of his sermon he said:
mo Christian should go about with a
long face. Every Christian should be
happy, but no Christian may borrow
his pleasures from the world. or indulge
the silly likeness of his own nature
There is a great gulf between Christ
ian gladness and worldly good time
Christianity is not illustrated by jovlal-
ity, jesting and the mirthful passing
of time, by telling funny stories that
are not true. He that lends himself to
these things In order to be happy
Christian has yet to take the first
steps in the Christian life.
"a Christians gladness is the Joy of
the Lord. He that is not content with
that needs to be born again. A Christ
ian is one in whose mouth are the high
praises of God. His occupation Is In
psalms. and hymns, and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in his heart to the
Lord. His gladness is hallelujah glad
uess--the very gladness of Heaven.

Of Flowers In the Garden of Re-
Igion

/. "Mary, the Model Woman" was the
topic chosen by Rt. Rev. Bishop Conaty

MARY stands before the world as the
model woman whose virtues commend
her to our yeneration. The month of
May is springs glorious day, the month
of flowers, beautiful among all the
months. 1t is consecrated by the
church to a special devotion toward
the mother of God, who is the flower of

very spring, full OF Gid's promises, the
loveliest of all of Gods creatures.
Innocence, gentleness, purity, piety,
resignation, courage, unselhshness. are
all characteristics which our human
mind Is proud to honor in humankind.
Mary is the model of these virtues.
"A woman among women she stands
at the head of the great procession of
heroic womanhood, giving to the world
the examples of those virtues which
are the crown and glory OF womanly
character Whether as a child or as
a maiden. in her home with Joachim

with Joseph, her 'espoused husband, in
their home at Nazareth, Mary impress
