Mass., Aug. 24.—The na- | val search problem on the ‘New England | coast was terminated at 5:40 o'clock this morning by the signal “Surrender, de- mand unconditional,” from Rear Admiral Higginson's flagghip, and the reply, “Ac- | cept surrender,”™ from the foretruck of the | Prairie, Comi nder Pilisbury's flagship. | The battle between the Blue, or defend- ing squadron, and the White, or attack- | ing squadron, was thus quickly ht miles south of Thatcher’ enemy had most signally e a harbor, having for its objective em | preponderance of fighting strength, 64 points, represenied by the Kearsarge, Alabama and Mas- , the Scorplon and a torpedo erwhelmed the 4 points_repre- by the auxiliary crwsers Prairie, and Supply.

The station here had been informed that Higginson's battleships had been sighted off Glouces- ter and that later they had returned to their berths under the lee of Harpers Isi- and. The Barnes commander was mys fied, therefore, when rounding the straits mouth he saw no evidence of the pres- ence of the Kearsarge. On a hazard the ney was steered southeasterly. After ginson’s ships had cruised up and the ¢ t they went to their an- ge off Thatchers Island. this time the officer on the deck of the Kearsarge was Lieutenant Ray Stone, with Midshipman William D. Puleston as the junior officer in command. In con- trast to others, the morning was clear and bright. On the bridge a_dozen jack- ies stood upon the lookout. One of these was Daniel Staehle, an apprentice of the first class. He stood well forward, peer- ing on the lee side. The flagship was just falling down into a trough when he noti- fied the ensign at his side that he could see the enemy. The officer of the deck called Flag Lieutenant Evans and Flag Secretary Bristol, and it was but the work of a moment to inform Admiral Hig- ginson of the probability that the time for decisive action was at hand. It was real war then. “General quar- ters” was sounded. There was a quick rush of many feet, the manning of a hundred posts, the clank of the anchor chain, the ringing of bells, the giving of orders and a general clearing for action. Not many moments passed before the flagship was under way, steaming at fourteen knots, with the Alabama and Massachusetts many lengths in the rear. Some distance back was the Barney, rap- idly overhauling the ships ahead. At 5:40 o’clock the threé battleships, aided by the converted yacht Scorpion, which had come in from the south in time to be in at the finish, and the Bar- ney, which had overtaken the fleet, form- ed a horseshoe about the White squad- ron.

The de- | parture of the Topeka from Venezuela‘ waters is taken to prove that the United en, believes that the final movement of revolution will be delayed. ON, Jamaica, Aug. 24.—Details of the capture of the Colombian Govern- ment gunhoat Boyaca by the insurgents | outside of Panama have reached here. | The Boyaca was captured August 1 by the insurgent gunboat Padilla, after a short and unequal fight. She had on board at the time nearly 300 soldiers, un- | der the command of Generals Ferrero and Eano, who were to reinforce General Moraies Berti at Agua Dulce. The Boyaca also carried several cannon, a supply of | ammurition and a large sum of money. Flying the insurgent flag the Boyaca is guv\; guarding the entrance to Panama arbor. ATTACK IS EXPECTED. Nothing definite is known on the isth- mus of the situation of the Government general, Morales Berti, at Agua Dulce, but many persons believe that the gen- after standing a siege foy many during which his forces were sub- . chiefly at night, to a severe artil- fire from the insurgents, perceived hopelessness of receiving reinforce- lery the ments and supplies from Panama and was forced to surrender to the insurgents. If the reported surrender of the Gov- ernment forces at Agua Dulce is true the insurgent general, Herrera, is con- fronted by a big problem to provide food and shelter for and to control this large and hostile element. Rumors are current on the isthmus that | several detachments of insurgents have | been seen at the various stations along | the railroad between Colon and Panama and an attack at either end of the lire ENORMOUS CONGREGATION ATTENDS CONSECRATION OF ST.

The Colombian Government rec- | ognizes the revolutionary situation to be | serious.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24—In a signed statement Admiral Higginson says: “To me the one great lesson of the search problem which we worked to a finish to-day is the absolute need of a | wireless telegraph service on the ships in our navy. Do you know we are thrce years behind the times in the adoption of a wireless system aboard our-ships, and its value to me during the last four days would have been incaiculable. I could have spoken my ships at sea night or day at any moment by wireless telegraphy, whereas during the last four days, while all were in touch with me they have been far beyond signaling distance and as it were, beyond my reach altogether. “I am convinced of the value of maneu- vers of this kind. It has been excellent training and as near an approach to the conditions of actual warfare as could be devised for maneuvers of this measure. The schooling in the work of the last four days, while little different from the actual work of routine, has been held under con- ditions which have made it .of extraordin- ary value.” /s $30.00 From St. Louis.

WILLIAM FORD NICHOLS, BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE OF CALIFORNIA, ASSISTED BY THE RECTOR, VESTRY AND CONGREGATION OF THE PARISH. — evergreens and floral festoons and the augmented choir of fifty voices rendered the sacred and joyous music. For the first - time the new quartet of St. Paul's was heard and rendered the beau- tiful numbers allotted to it with rare delicacy. The processional was watched by hun- dreds of people as it wound its way from the guild hall fo the interior of church, Bishop Nichols and the attendant clergy being preceded by the great, sing- ing choir. The Rev. Francis C. Bowen of Trinity Church, Sacramento, read the lesson, as- sisted by the Rev. W. E. Hayes of St. Luke’s Church, this city. The Rev. A. C. Wilson pf Christ Church, Sausalito, as- sisted the Bishop in communion. The Rev. W. Maxwell Reilly, pastor of St. Paul's Church, read the gospel and the sermon was delivered by Bishop Nichols. The Bishop chose for his text Genesis 28:16—*‘Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not.” The Bishop looked upon the fact of it being the festal day of St. Bartholomew as a happy coincidence in the ceremony of the consecration of the church. Both Jacob and St. Bartholomew had a mighty experience of the presence of God, he said, Jacob having had the vision of God descending and ascending and God's mes- sage given him that his descendants should be as the dust of the earth and should own the land; Jacob gave the ut- terance to his ecstacy in the words, “Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not.” BUILD TO GOD A CHURCH. The local meeting with God, said the Bishop, caused the desire to build to God a church. It was. he averred, not what we said but what we did that counted. He likened the reception of guests at our houses and the great reception given them to the welcoming of God in the church. In expectation of the home-com- ing of a son or daughter who might have been absent what great preparations and ‘what joy filled the heart to give them lov- ing recegt m, even to arranging that the favorite room that had been left vacant should be refurnished and made to conform to the spirit and de- sire of the long absent occupant. Un- ‘grudgingly we ‘took ‘pains to see that it was all xald for and so it was just that made us build a church and, conse- crate it, for ® was a place where we could (% and kneel before Him and come in_touch with Him and give Him wel- come. The Bishop said he would have God prel- the | church, for there we had a realization of His presence. It was the power and the influence of the presence that brought forth the words, ‘“Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it nat.” In two ways, said the Bishop, did the consecrated church help us to realize -the presence of God—the calm help in realiz- ing the sense of the value of life. What life needed at the present time, he de- clared, was calmness. MESSAGE TO MANHOOD. He had once heard the great Philli] | Brooks address men at Trinity Churc when he besought them to be calm. It was, he remembered, a desperate mes- sage to manhood and womanhood. And in this relation he, the Bishop, hoped the time would come when the doors of the church would be always open, that when they. passed and some sorrow was in the heart the open door would catch the eye ‘and all could enter, knowing peace was within. ~ Such should be the condi- tion in place of retiring to our rooms to mope_and to ponder over something that was disturbing. Yes, to enter the church where sunshine would pour out and where the despondent shall say, “The Lord is in this place and I knew it not.” In the second place, the Bishop sald, in God's presence was found the value of the service. Men asked, “How can any good come out of Nazareth?’ Such re- marks merely typified the depressed state of the mind. We consecrated the church then because it answered to our instinct to have God with us, said the Bishop, and human life’ needed and wanted calm, for it brought out our better parts and we found life worth living. " In speaking further of the ceremony of consecration the Bishop congratulated his brother, the Rev. W.- Maxwell Reilly, the vestrymen and the Ladies’ Aid Chap- ter for the grand results of their untiring and devout labors through which they were able to say, “Here we have a place where every one can come and worship."” The Bishop spoke of the higher satis- faction of having a consecrated church wherein is being built human life in the close presence of Almighty God.

GRAPHICALLY LECTURES AT METHODIST CHURCH ST Bishop Hamilton Tells of Race Hav- ing No Hope and Without © God. The Rev. J. W. Hamilton, D. D,, LL. D., Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in California, preached on “‘The Sov- ereignty of Man” at the First Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday morning. This was the first sermon during the cele- bration of the church's fifty-fifth anni- versary. A full house greeted the Bishop. He took for his text Psalm.72:8. The Bisnop drew a most graphic picture of the race having no hope and without God in the world. He said it was a picture of such despair as that with which men vainly strive to give the finishing blow not only to misery, but to weaknes: “I found it in Southern Euroge he said. “It was a picture of the Sulcide’s Cemetery at Monte Carlo.” The Bishop showed that the Christian bellever has a better hope than that of the infidel. Christianity was more than a hope, it had demonstrated itself thus far to a living, pervasive, conquering pres- ence. e, Dusky Belle Uses Razor.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 24.—A race riot broke out to-day at Haughville, a suburb of this city, between 200 negroes and whites employed by the National Malle- able Casting Company. There has been bitter race feeling between them for sev- | eral years and trouble has frequently | broken out. Two persons have been killed. A bal! game this morning between the two factions caused excitement. As the crowd left the field hostilities broke out. Stones, bricks, clubs and other missiles were used. Two hundred persons were immediately crushed together in a fight- ing mass. Twelve or fifteen shots were fired and it is reported one negro was ' shot, but he was taken from the fleld | before the police arrived. The whites | were victorious, driving the blacks from the field and wounding a number of them. | Several white people were badly injured. | Ten arrests have been made and others will be made as rapidly as the persons | are found. RAILROAD TELEGRAPHERS TO GET INCREASED WAGES Northern Pacific Company Volun- tarily Raises the Salaries of Its Four Hundred Employes. ST. PAUL, Aug. 24.—Four hundred tele- | graph operators—one-half of the force employed by the Northern Pacific—will get an increase in wages September 1. An order increasing the minimum sal- aries in amounts from 3250 to $10 per month was issued by the company Satur- ay. This_action, which was voluntary, will add $25,000 to the payroll of the company and affects operators along the entire sys- tem. O. C.

Distinguished Soldier’s Recent Con~ troversy With the War Depart- ment Renders His New Move a Matter of Interest. —_——— Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Aug. 24.—General Nelson A. Miles will sail for the Philippines within a few weeks. When Interviewed on the subject today he was reticent as to the ob- Jeét of the trip. - As the story went the rounds Senator Hoar's name was linked with it until finally it was stated that one of General Miles’ principal reasons for coming to New England at this time was to consult with Senator Hoar regard- ing his proposed trip. The senior Senator’s well known antl= imperialistic sentiments, considered in connection with General Miles' corres- pondence with the War Department made public some months ago, In regard to the conduet of the war in the Far East, and suggesting that he sent there, lemt sighificance to the story that it would not otherwise have had. Just before he left town, General Miles admitted that it was his intention to sall for the Phillppines as soon as his lrrnniements were completed, which will probably be in about three weeks. 3 “Will you go in your official capacity?” General Miles was asked. “Well, I'm not going as a tourist, neither am I going for my health,” was the reply, and the faintest suspicion of a smile was discernible for a fraction of a second. “What will you do out there?” “That is difficult to say,” answered the general, “I cannot tell until I get there.” “Will you give any directions regarding the operations of American troops?” “That 1 cannot say either,” was the replBy. “But, general, in view of the corres- g)endence between yourself and the War partment, made public some time ago, does your visit to the Philippines, in your officlal capacity, at this time indicate a change of heart on the part of the de- partment?” | “You will have to put that questi to the Department,” said General Mil and then he added: “T do not keep my finzar on the puld of the War Department.” “Will you take any part in negetfatir with the Friars?” “No,” came the answer, sharp and en phatic.” WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Nothix seems to be kmown in the office of ti adjutant general regarding the imtenti¢ of Lieutenant General Miles to go to M nila. The general would not have to r port to that office his intetntion to lea the country, but it is not thought would take such a step without commu cating his intention to the Secretary ‘War or the President.
