a day passed without the arrival here
of trainload of wounded soldiers
from the ranks of Gen. Francisco

some of the more seriously wounded
and every carpenter i'll the city was
busy making cots.
From stories told by the wounded it
was learned that the first rebel advance
on Gen. Nelasco' 5 Federal garrison in
Torreon and Gomez Palacio. the latter
a suburb, resulted in a pitiable slaugh-
ter OF the rebels in which about 1000
of them, partly through a series of
blunders, were killed or wounded with
in a few hours.
All trustworthy accounts agree that
the rebels first attack was unsuccess-

though better equipped with field guns
/ than they ever had been previously and
/ fully confident they would frighten the
| Fcderals into retreat, were forced to
retire in the beginning of the fight.
Rushed into Ambush.
| First the rebels were reported to have
! Numbered in opening fire on their own
! men. Two accounts were given for this
mistake. One was that a column of
rebel artillery trained over their mark
and poured shells into the ranks of Gen.
Aguiree Benavide's force on the oppo-
| site side of Gomez Palacio.
Another account was that a body of
rebels entered Gomez Palacio without
orders and the rest Of the army think

fore the mistake was discovered.

The steamer BelIaventure has 5S
dead and - living; the Stephauo one

The men lost were far from their
ships killing seals when the storm, with
binding snow. swooped down upon
them. They were exposed for ] : hours
before assistance arrived, and III that
time many succumbed.
The Newfoundland was one of ii fleet
of II ships, CARRYING more than goo
men, scattered among the lee iloes near
! Belle Isle strait. The crews were on
the does hunting the seals which have
their homes on these crystal plains and

Lost on Drifting Floe.

When the blizzard came the crews
of the other steamers managed to re
gain their ships, but the foes on which
the newfoundland : men were hunting
drifted away from the main body of
ice and when darkness fell that night
not one had returned to his ship. The
ships crew numbered 1J0, Of whom
l2o were hunting on the ice Capt.
Wesley kean, his officers, engineers,
stokers and cooks remained aboard.
Yesterday morning the weather clear
ed and Capt. Kean signaled the sealing
steamers Bellaventure and Stephano,
which were nearest him, of the lost OF
his men. These two vessels, being fast
| and powerful and equipped with wire
| less, smashed their way into the tloes
in search of the missing men.

Sealing Fleet Left on March 10.

The sealing feet left here on March
TO- Is ships going to the northeast
coast and six into the Gulf OF St. Law
renee. The hunting OF the seals Is
done on the icefoes where the seals are
always found at this season. The men
leave the ships in the early morning
and disperse over many miles Of foes
in every direction, killing their prey
as they 90, often being five or six miles
distant at nightfall.
If storms arise they have to seek
shelter on the nearest vessels and if
they cannot gain such shelter and are
out all night they are in circumstances
Of extreme peril A blizzard such as
struck the coast on Tuesday is certain
to cause great loss Of life.
Of the 100 men who would be on the
| ice from the Newfoundland some may
possibly have reached other ships. These
men would have nothing but then
working clothes, a small supply of foo6
and no shelter whatever. Thus exposed
they could but poorly combat the ele
ments and few hope that any large
number have escaped.

Thoughtful men are beginning to
realize that religion must be more
than a mere belief. They are learn
ing 1t cannot be inherited, transferred
no- adopted; that it is not the chattel
of any particular organization or
church, and that it is not acquired by
fasting or feasting. They are asking
for more practical religion. Human
ity wants to know God-the God OF
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the God
OF the Prophets and OF Christ Jesus.
The religions Of the world have

made to believe that nothing definite
can be known until the portals of hui
