Tbe death of Mr. Cullen How ell occurred at his home in this city Wednesday afternoon about 5 o'clock, in the 42ad year of his age. Cullen was a genial, kind hearted fellow, and was liked by all wbo knew him. Although his occupation had been that of a bar-room clerk, he expressed a readiness to die, and said his peace was made with God, and that he was going home to rest. He leaves two brothers, and a wife and four children to mourn bis death, which was not unex pected, as he bad been in declin ing bealth for several months. This is a progressive age. The forward inarch of science and in dustrial development has quick ened the pulse of man, and divers inventions have called for and awakened that energy which hith erto lay dormant, and the thrifty, progressive spirits are fast surging to the front to meet and cope with the things that once seemed in surmountable. One gets left these days if ho lingers on the thres hold. There was a time when excursions only steamed out when the manog. is were assured there was no one for miles around headed that way who wished to go; . bat times and' manners have changed. Last Thursday, as Messrs. Hatch Bros.' excursion pulled out for Wilmington, we saw a, party of six, who came all the way from Princeton, telling their troubles to Policeman Smith, when one of them said: "She'll come back di- 'rectly, won't she !" But Messrs. Hatch Bros., are STJong those who have caught told of the progres sive spirit of the age and who don't believe .ingoing backward, so these good people looked with, longing hearts, at the forward movement.

Uwd Ve WweU, Mil For Sunday Perusal and Every Day Guidance. Because ye are sons God hath sent forth the Spirit of Hia Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father. Gal. 4. C. We hear much and talk much about the weakness of human na ture. Every time we hear of the fall of some one high in the world's esteem and occupying a position of honor and trust in so ciety, we shrug our shoulders and exclaim: "Human nature; the old Adam will assert itself." We ex cuse or condone our own failings with the same expression, sighing over the fact but assigning as the cause, "my human nature is too strong." We say of such a one, "he is very human," meaning by that that he is very prone, to fol low the down grade. This kind of talk is not consistent with Chris tianity. Christianity views human nature from a totally different point of view. Christianity re gards human nature as in some mysterious way closely allied to God, and consequently having the capacity of great strength. To al ways speak of human nature, then, as naturally and logically prone to retrogression, is to take issue with Christianity, which asserts in no uncertain way that human nature is naturally and logically prone to development and im provement. The natural way of looking at a man is entirely consistent with Christianity's high estimate. It is derived from the testimony of our own senses and is the re sult of our own experience. It is called in scientific parlance "ev-j olution," aud reason and expe rience say that eyolution is a fact. This view makes man a creature of practically limitless develop ment, susceptible to environment, capable of progression. The rude warrior with his stone hatchet and poisoned arrows is the pro totype of the trained soldier with his marvelous firearms and smoke less powder. The medicine man of savage tribes is the prototype of the skilled specialist and prac tical surgeon. The uncouth musi cian with his tom-tom and reed pipe is the prototype of the mu sical genius with his violin and organ. And so in every sphere in life men are becoming more culti vated, more cultured, more ex pert, more inventive, more civil ized as the generations pass. The term ""Western civilization," which denotes that high degree of culture attained by the Anglo Saxon peoples of the earth, to-day stands as a perpetual illustration of the marvelous capacity for de velopment possessed by man. History tells us that the process of development has been slow but sure. One after another nature has yielded her secrets to the knowledge of man. The nineteenth century . has . been marvelously productive of discoveries and in ventions, while the twentieth promises to be still more so. "What is the logical result of all this? God in the incarnation proved that man could be the ex press image of God? What a stupendous revelation! We knew it all as children, but we never realized it as we do now. We were told so by godly parents and we read it for ourselves in the Bible, but we never seemed to take it in till now. In the incarnation we see God, see Him as we see the best and holiest and noblest man we see and know to-day. See Him with all the ca pacity for development which we see latent in men to-day exercised in its perfection. , See Him as God manifest in the -flesh,: seen of menbelieved on in the world, received up into Glory. And as the marvelous mystery of the incarnation bursts upon us and we realize that man could be the image of God, we see another overwhelming truth which" f ollow.s logically from this, that as jnan Pleasant Dreams. It does not lie in the painter's fancy to imagine a prettier picture than that of a young girl, with lips luecious with the promise of love, half parted in the smile9 of happy dreamland. The mind of happy maidenhood is a clear and polished mirror, which, when the wits go wandering into thtt ghostland of dreams, reflects the impres sions of waking hours. If those impres sions are pleasant and painless and happy, she will smile in her sleep. If the impres sions are those of a suffering woman, tor tured with the special ailments to which the feminine organism is liable, the picture is spoiled by the lines of suffering-and de spondency. Maladies of this nature unfit a woman for joyous maidenhood and for ca pable motherhood. They incapacitate her to bear the burdens of life in any sphere of action. Household, marital and social duties alike are a burden to the woman who is constantly suffering from headaches, backaches, dragging sensations and weak ening drains. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription positively, completely, unfail ingly cures troubles of this nature. It imparts health, strength, vigor to the dis tinctly womanly organs. It fits for care free, healthy maidenhood, happy wifehood and capable motherhood. "I have a little step-daughter who had 9t. Vitus's Dance, vhich your medicine cured," writes Mrs. T. F. Boze, of Ford, Dinwiddie Co., Va. . 'i spent about twenty dollars for doctor's bills and medicine, and it did not do the child one cent's worth of good. We commenced giving Pr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery' and used tbree bottles of each, vhich cost only six dollars. Now the child is running around every where and is just as Vn--l-1 v as ever.'- was capable, so man is capable of being the expression of God. And this not only proximately, as one manifests certain traits of character, certain graces of man ner, certain eharms of dtsposition, certain virtues, but absolutely in Christ Jesus. How this truth condemns and overthrows the pestilen tial notion that human nature by the fall be came impotent and incapable of development! How it stamps as a device of the great adversary of the human race such erroneous theology as this! How it throws down the flimsy bulwarks erected by those who would shelter them selves in ease and self-complacence as they vaguely say "human nature is past redemption, it doesn't pay to attempt to doJ anything to elevate it, is past? praying for, might as well give i up, men are getting worse instead. of better, all the time!" We Americans, of all men on earth who have ever lived, have no right to think thus. Surely if ever men had reason to bo opti mists we have and especially at this,time in the presence of our so great victories in battle on land and sea for humanity's cause. America stands among the nations of the earth for all that indicates growth, progress, enlightenment, development, bravery, heroism, patriotism, brotLerly love, and the courage and fortitude that con quers. The Christian faith stands to.-day among the religious of the world for all that is human, bene ficent, helpful, altruistic. And when we think of our blessings as individuals we cannot innumerate them. But this we know, tht every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the 'Father of Lights, with whom -is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. That He of His own will begat us that we should be a kind of first fruit of His creatures, and we know that we are all unworthy of His manifold and great mercies. See ing ourselves as wje are, and con trasting our estate with that of our fathers, we can surely bless God and take courage as patriots, as Christians, as Americans, and as- individuals. Human nature impotent and in capable of development! Perish the thought. Not while America exists with her wondrous civiliza tion, not while Christianity re mains as the hope of all the ends of the earth and of them that re main in tbe broad ..sea; not while individual men like ourselves, with all our weaknesses, all our imperfections, live and grow and have our being; not since God hss called us sons, and hath sent 'spirit of His Boa into our hearts, crying Abba, Father - Santiago Falls. The Spanish Wolf Crouches Down Before the Amer ican Eagle Shafter to be Military Governor. Porto Rico Campaign Next ByfTelegraph to TmeJArgus. Washington, July 14 The long expected fall of Santiago has taken place, and every citizen of the United States will rejoice with one accord. General Toral, with his whole force of Spanish troops, sur rendered to day at noon, accepting the terms of the United States, which was simply to send the Spanish troops back to Spain at our expense. There will be no more fighting at Santiago, and no more fight ing in all Cuba until Fall. It is the opinion in official cirs cle3 that the surrender of Santi ago means that Spain will sue for peace, making tb.3 best terms she can. The campaign in Porto Rico will now begin in earnest. The Spanish troops will be sent back to Spain immediately, and our army will be withdrawn from Santiago as quick as possible. General Garcio's forces, aided by five thousand regulars, will be left in charge, and Shafter will be military Governor of Eastern Cuba. FKOM THE FLEET. By Cable to The Argua. With fleet off Aquandores, July 14. News of the surrender of Santiago reached here at three o'clock and was unexpected. The ifaeiusal of tbe Spanish Crenexal to surrender wi3 so emphatic that fall had forsaken the idea that a peaceful end of the struggle would result. All preparations had been made for the final struggle at noon and it was known that the city's fortifica tions were strong and the occu pants brave. Sampson's officers looked fprward to a bloody en gagement, and when the news came that the city had been sur rendered they could scarcely be lieve it. As the hour of noon approach ed the steamer Hist steamed close to the shore, awaiting the signal from Miles to begin the attack. As one and two o'clock passed, great excitement was manifested by the fleet. A few minutes after 2 o'clock the Hist.under full head of steam, dashed toward the flag ships displaying signals as she pressed onward. The Oregon be ing first in line, gave out the sig nal that the enemy had surren dered. Cheer after cheer burst from the officers on deck, and was picked up and re-echoed time and again by other vessels of the fleet. " " The surrender came in the pinch of time, as Sampson was in a position to drop shells into the heart of the city every two min utes, and the city would, surely have been demolished before night. Santiago, July 15,--a part of the American army is now inside the city of Santiago and the stars and stripes now float from pin acles where the saffron flag of Spain has waved for many years. According to the plans of Gee Shafter the main body of the theih&rmy will not enter the city, but only a EOfficierft number to preserve tbe peace and take care Beautiful eyes grow dull and dim As the swift years steal away.

While peace reigns the high commission is now arranging the terms of capitulation, The American army is beside itself with joy over the surrender of the city. Cheers after cheers and noisy demonstrations are bring made all the while. The troops are now able to rise up in the trenches without feeling the hot breath of Spanish buellets. It is said that the surrender of Toral was just in time, as in another half hour the bom bardment would have been corns, menced. By Cable to The Argus. Siboney, July 15, via Playo Del Este The agreement for the surrender of Santiago and all of tfca Island of Cuba east of the line drawn fron Aceraderas to Sagnde and Tanama was signed at 4 o'clock this afternoon and approved by Miles and Blanco. Toral now awaits the approval of the Madrid government. Washington, July 16.- The War Department received the follow ing from Shafter at 9:30 o'clock this morning: "Spanish surrendered, Partic ulars later. Shafber." Washington, July 16. A sum mary of the terms of surrender as finally agreed, upon is as follows: Twenty thousand refugees are to go back to Santiago. The American infantry is to patrol the roads about the city. Our hos pital corps js to give attention to the Spanish sick and wounded. All the Spanish troops in the province of Santiago, except 10, 000 at Holguin, under Luque, are to come to the city and sur render their arms for the defence of - the city. The- city is to be turned over in good condition. The Americans are to have full use of the Juraugua railroad. All Spaniards are to be conveyed to Spain, together with all portable church property. The Spanish troops are to surrender arms and co-operate with the Americans in removing the mines from tne harbor. The Spanish officers are to retain their side arms. SANTIAGO'S NAYAL BATTLE. A Brief Report of the Fight By One Who Was la It; Varies JSomewhot From Other Reports but is Doubt less Accurate. The Indiana's Effective Shell "During the hot weather la?t summer 1 had a severe attack of cholera mor bus, necessitating my leaving my bus iness," says Mr. C. A.

Oliv, Wre are permitted to publish the following extract from a letter written by Lt. Thos. Washington, U. S. N., to his mother in this city, which vwill be perused with interest by Argus readers every where : U. S. S. Indiana, On" Santiago, Cuba, July 4, 189S. Yesterday morning about 9:00 o'clock the Spanish Squtdrcn came out of the harbor and at tempted to escape through the blockade. At the time the Mas sachusttts was atGuautanamo, the Kew Orleans at Key West, and the Hew York at Daiquiri; leav ing this vessel, the Iowa, Oregon, Brooklyn and Gloucester to guard tbe harbjr. As soon as we saw their smoke, we went to quarters without stop ping to clear 6hip for action, and in a minute or two the action be came hot enough for the most warlike of men. The Maria Theresa came first, followed by the Vizcaya, CoTBn, Oquendo and the two torpedo boat destroyers. We opened fire on the Maria Theresa, the leading vessel, and the first shell from my turr-et exploded on her deck, four thousand yards distance. In stantly she was in flames and be gan burning fiercely from stem to stern. Seeing escape was impos sible, the Spanish admiral beached her and we sent, later on, boats to take off the wounded and prison ers. The shell from our ship had riddled her everywhere. The next ehip, the Vizcaya, then received the attention of the Iowa and thia vessel, and ia five minutes the ehclU bad sot her on fire, but she would not surrender, so the Oregon headed her eff and we came in astern, with the re suit that she also was beached and her flag hauled down. The Colon being a very fast ship, managed to pass this vessel and the Towa, and, at full speed, made out to sea. The Oregon, Brooklyn and Texas chased her, and at i:15 p. m. ran her ashore and beached her. Her crew were taken off and she now has a prize crew of those vessels on board. The Pluton and Furor next re ceived the attention of the Indi ana aud Gloucester, and althoagh both made a plucky fight, the odds were against them, with the re sult that the Pluton's boilers blew up and then a shell fired her mag azine and she sank in deep water. The Furor was luckier, in that, af ter being repeatedly struck and her bo'lers pierced by shell, she drifted ashore, and her erew es caped to the beach, only to fall prisoners in our hands a few hours later, when we 6ent a boat for them . Just then a dispatch boat arrived, informing us that a Spanish bat tleship was heading in from the east, so we stood out to meet her. She proved to be an Austrian bat tleship, anxioas to got into Santi ago and take her consul away. Her captain was informed that he must get the Admiral's permis sion so stood off to find the flag ship. The New York came up about this time and followed in chasing the Colon to the westward. - After the fight, all the available boats were sent in to bring off the wounded and living from the Oquendo, Vizcaya, Thar esa and the two torpedo boats. Wo took on board 210, the Yale (or Har vard) 600, the Iowa 200, and the Gloucester and Hist all thercould bold.

The Spanish officers told us that the rain of shells falling on their ships was surprising to them. They had no idea of such frequent hits. On one of their cruisers a shell burst and an entire gun's crew was cut half in two. On deck the dead and wpunded were everywhere, and when the ships caught -fire many of the wounded were lost with the vessels. The Spanish admiral, his staff officers and the captains of the dif ferent vessels were among the prisoners. All are to be sent north on the St. Louis, and we are to day transferring our 210 to that vessel. All the prisoners lost every thing except what they stood in, and many stood in nothing, as they had stripped to fight and then swim ashore after the ships were beached. So sailors' clothing was given those who needed it, and the officers were giren Such odds and eads as we had and could let them have. The Indiana was struck twice, both times by small shell, only slight dents being made in the steel. Not a man received so much as a scratch. The Iowa was equally fortunate, as also the Gloucester. The Brooklyn was struck by the Colon several times, but her loss was only one man killed and two wounded. T I think that this was th8 onlv loss sustained by our entire squadron. The shells from the Spanish ships fell thick aud fast enough around us, yet none of them did any damage. The Spanish officers were surprised when they learned that not a man was hurt on this vessel, the Iowa or the Glouces ter, at which they had directed their principal fire. The noise was terrible duriner the fight, and for several hours afterwards I could hardly hear. Many of our men are still abso lutely deaf. The surgeon says they may recover from it in a few days. The Spanish officers (seveD) we had with us were transferred to the St. Louis to-day. They ap pear to be happj and jolly. Not at all worrying over their mis fortunes. They talked pleasantly over the whole fight and gave us all the information they could as to wnat was doni. The sailors are as hatiDV as can be. fittpd nut. with good clothes, given plenty of food and convinced that they are not going to be killed.

He Keeps Things Moving IifVty All Down the Lines By Cable to The Arus, Manila, via Hong- Kong, tfaly 13. -On July 0th the inisgeni3 reported to Dewey that the Ger man gunboat Irene, in Subig bay, refused to permit them to attack the Spanish garrison at Grand Is land, whereupon Dewey promptly dispatched the cruisers Raleigh and Concord to investigate the matter. On entering the bay the Ra leigh immediately opened fire on the Spanish forts, in full view of the Irene, without waiting to en quire or parley with that vessfcl as to whether it had interposed as reported or not. At the first gun of the American cruiser the Irene slipped cable and steamed out of the bay by the other channel. In response to the fire of the Americans the Spaniards sur rendered everything, and 500 of them were taken prisoners. The Irene afterwards explained her action by saying that she only interposed in behalf of humanity, and offered to hand over to Dewey a number of refugees she had taken on board; but Dewey de clined to receive them. Manila, via Hong Kong, July 13. On July Cth, insurgents made a vigorous attack, but with" little results. They shelled the Spanish entrenchments and cap tured many guns. Over one hun dred men were killed on each side. Americans and insurgents acted independently, both con ducting their own operations, hoping to evolve an agreestaent afterwards. Aguinaldo's influence is not believed to be of great extend ojf duration, and it is thought tha after the Spaniards are expelled a state of chaos would exist unless the Americans assumed control of the islands in force. The Americans are postponing operations until fully prepared for any contingency. Thirty thou sand reinforcements are expected to arrive soon, and these will enable Dewey to effectively con trol the whole Philippines.
