ONE of the clergymen who addressed the
~ recent convention of the Presbyterian
church in Atlanta offered solution of the
problem which is wrapped within the general
question
What's the matter qoith the churches?
That there is something wrong, nobody
doubts The situation is so exceedingly pecu-
liar and SO alarming to Christians, that there
is almost fear that the Romanists are right,
when they guy us, and say
professionalism Is dead!"
Considering which, | am tempted to say
my say, on said subject.
1t is not so much what the Jesuits are
doing, and not so much the differences Of
opinion among Protestants- although the
Presbyterian clergyman named these two
causes as the explanation of Protestant
decay.
1t is what the Protestants are not doing,
that creates the emptiness in the churches.
The Protestants are not protesting, any
more.
/, Both in church and State, the protest has
died away. We are so AFRAID that qoe qoiU
hurt the feelings Of the R0manists that aoe
are a1zoa0ing them to tAa'oao their gaarisons
into our citadezs.

RUSH OF BRITISH
SHIPS STOPPED
Orders For Squadron 10 Go to
Vera Cruz Cancelled
BRYAN'S EMPHATIC ACTION
Informs English Ambassador In Wasn-
ington That United States Would
Consider Demonstration UnfriendIy.

An abrupt cancellation of the
orders issued to the British squadron
from the Barbados to proceed to Vera
Cruz, Mex, was caused by emphatic
protest from the state department in
Washington to the British foreign Of
ice.
Sir Lionel Gardens dispatch insist
ing so emphatically that British war
ships were needed at Vera Cruz to
protect British interests, Great Britain
accordingly issued the rush order to
the squadron.
This was done without consulting
the Washington state department. Sec
retary Bryan on hearing of it in
formed the British ambassador that
the United States would regard as an
unfriendly act anything approaching
a naval demonstration by Great Brit
ain in Mexican waters.
The result was that the orders to
the squadron were countermanded.
The manager of the Pearson syndi-
cate in Mexico City was informed by
General Aguilar, the reel commander
at Tuxpam, that the rebels we're in
possession of all the Pearson proper
ties, including El Potrero, the biggest
oil gusher in the world.
General Aguilar ordered the man
ager to go at once to Tuxpam and
meet his terms, which evidently means
that he expects the payment of a
large sum of money for the surrender
of the oil properties. No reply was
sent to this message by the Pearson
manager.
General Aguilar in his message also
threatened to cut off the supply of oil
for the national railroads. This is
the only source of fuel for the roads.
He also demands the immediate re-
moval of all foreigners employed by
the Pearson syndicates 'in order to
avoid international complications"
Congress met again but the session
was adjourned no quorum having been
obtained.
The impression prevails here among
the lower class Mexicans that the
British cruisers now on their way to
Mexican waters were sent to drive
out the American fleet, but it is we'll
known that the real reason for the
dispatch of the squadron was to pro-
