The Spanish papers state that be sides Santoclldes various other olllcers fell , and It Is rumored tint one of them Is the son of Campos. Passengers claim that a railroad car arrived at Villa Veuva station In Havana closed so that no one knew Its contents. Some say this car contains Campos and others maintain that It holds the body of Ills son. The Spanish press gives no details of the en counter and this makes the Cubans believe that Santoclldes' body was left In the pasics- Blon of the Insurgents In Santa Clara. An encounter is reported In Santiago del Valle , In Vista Hermosa , near Santo Splrlttis , between 107 Spaniards , commanded by Major Armlnan , with numerous Insurgent forces , commanded by Ur.

PLATTSBURG , N. Y. , July 21 St. John's church was crowded to the doors today. The sermon was delivered by Rev. P. J. Ryan , archbishop of Philadelphia , and every mem ber of the Catholic summer school was pres ent. Archbishop Ryan said In part : "While eI pralshig I highly tha truths of the natural world , and thai 'knowledge Is powerful' and Ihat the more luminous and enlarged the Intellect becomes , the more It resembles Its dlvlno original , the omniscient God , you forget not the still greater truths revealed by that God concerning his own nature and our relations to Him. He Is the fountain of all truth , natural and supernatural , science reveals truth , but God Is truth Itself It Is 1 my place to speak to you of the Institution 1t tion of the church , which was to preserve all the 1t revelations , primitive and Jewish , and to proclaim I the newesl and greater ones made manifest by Jesus Christ hlmse.f and to the kingdom ) of God on earth , prophesied by- Daniel. I "There are Importanl analogies belween the Jewish and Christian churches , which enable ' us to understand more perfectly the latter. The Jewish church was no mere human Institution , no mere fortuitous collec tion of men who might agree In their In terpretation of certain truths of revelation. No , It was a living organism , with a divinely constituted head , who Was the representative of God on this earth , namely , the Jewish high priest , who spoke with authority. But the tame power that established H declared that Its mission and functions were to be but temporary The \ery date of their termina tion was fixed by Almighty God and declared by the Prophet Daniel. This termination took place on y when Christ had proved that he was the Messiah and the greit high pi lest of the new law. The Jewish church was succeeded by Christ himself as lawgiver , Jud e and ruler " Archbishop Ryan then developed the nature and mission of the church as the kingdom of God on earth , as foretold In the proph ecies , described In parables , and openly an nounced by our divine Lord. He dwelt es pecially on the Interpretation which Christ himself gave of the divinity of his mission when ho prayed that his followers might be one. "This mark of unity i today the mos' striking evidence of the dlvlno character o Christ and of his church. " said he. He con ttnupd to dpvelope his great bubject of the Instllullon of the church and Its character as a klndgom , and closed his sermon thus "Now , this great Institution founded by Christ and blessed with sueij marvelous .nlty and stability Is precisely what Is neede < n our ago and country , Jn order to give re glous unity to many denominations and per lanent stability to the stile Itself Lei us , Ihen , go forth from this sumniei cliool with Increased knowledge , both sacrei nd profane , but above all things , with a pro ound convict'on lhal we have In till ?

" CHICAGO.Juy ) 21. It is the Intention of the Chicago police to have II. H. Holmes , the Insurance swindler , here to answer the charge of having murdered the Williams sisters. The local officers are convinced that the murder of the Williams girls was the first committed by Holmes , and they argue thai In conbequence he should bo re quired to bland trial for It first. They also Insist that they will be able to produce evi dence that he did murder tha sitters. The police are by nn means convinced by the analysis made by a doctor on Sunday , show ing that the substance found In the big Move In Holmes' house was fireclay and not humnn bones. They say that fireclay would not become brittle In any kind cf heat , whereas n portion of that found In the stove ciumbled In the hands of Detective Fltpa trick. It developed today that the substance of the first report of the finding of the bones of Miiiiile Williams was In the hands of De tective Geyer of Philadelphia. It was said that he viiited Chicago a week ago , and when he left carried with him positive evi dence that a body had been burned In the big stove In Holmes' ofilce It was al o learned that Detective Geyer will come to Chicago after he completes his scaich foi [ loward PIt'.3l and will co-operate with Chicago cage officers. In police circles tonight It was said that the on y hope of convicting Holmes was In Chicago. It was paid that the Philadelphia authorities could convict him of nothing mere serious than Insurance swindling and that the Canadian authorities would not go to the expense of extraditing or trying him 'n the event t'nat Detective Geyer falls to ilnil the body of Howard PlUel In Detroit everything will depend on the work of the Chicago police. Nothing was done In the basement of th ? Chicago house today , but tomorrow it will begin. Tlio work tliat has been done thus far has been without system , and It Is Just ns likely that evidences of a crime may be buried more deeply as that one might be disclosed. The tank In which the explosion took pace Saturday has been filled with wate.- , and It will require the services of a file engine to pump It out before investiga tion can prcceed. A. Mlnter , nephew of Mrs. Julia Connor , discredits the story that she and her daugh ter were murdered by Holmes. He thinks both are alive and that Mrs. Connor does not make her whereabouts known on ac- counl of Ihe Irouble she had with her hus band TORONTO , Out. July 21 By a clever ruse Mrs. Pltzel was saved from Interview era yesterday. A closed cab drove up to the Rojsln house , and Detective Geyer got out t and entered the hotel , returning In tt few minutes with a veiled female , who. It was announced he was taking to Detroit , and that 11 was Mrs. Pltzel As a matter of lact , she did not leave till this morning There are no new developments In the case kca'ly , nor is It expected there will be until Holmes' Philadelphia lawyer arrives , for the purpose of attempting to establish an a'lbl for his client. DETROIT , July 21. Detective Oeyer of Philadelphia Is In the city , and will make a further effort to flrd the body of the missIng - _ Ing boy , Howard Pitzel. Ho has all along beTleved that the boy was murdered In 1' Je- troll and has several clews , but what Ihey OK he Is nol yet ready to tell. I.iiiy Sholto l > oin-iim nn llelrem.

Richard Rowe , brother to the absconder , Is also under arrest as an accomplice. It It bomewhat doubtful , however , whether the brothers can be taken back to Iowa for their trial. Requisition papers were honored by the State department- Washington and for warded to Mexico as rapidly as possible , and with these Detective Forse applied to the .Mexican authorities for the arrest of the brothers. They are locked up , but when It came to sxtradltlng , the detectives found themselves blocked under the Mexican law. A foreigner may go there , renounce all alle giance to the country from which ho came , become a Mexican citizen and thus avoid ex tradition. Rowe has taken advantage of this law , although he has only been In the City of Mexico about three weeks. As a result there Is likely to be a hot legal contest , In Uilch the United States government will probably play a prominent part Rowe dls- appearel April 20.
