by Hr. Fisher of the Pundce church. Oik?
of the questions addressed to Mr. Ainoi
concerned the teaching of the Bible with
reference to punishment in a future life.
"There are some passages of scripture
which some interpret to promise punish

The answer brought a qukk challaiige
from Rev. F. P. Ramsey, who asked per
mission "to test the young man's ability
to interpret scripture." by calling on him
to give the significance of the second
chapter of the second Epistle of Peter.
The candidate answered that as thin
passage of scripture was one over which
there was much controversy and a wide
difference of opinion, he thought. It waa
not a fair question.
The reply brought loud applauue ' from

l'ort of the Insurreeto garrison was dis
rupted in the abandonment of I he town.
Throwing away their guns and leavln
their horses, they fled In disorder In dif
ferent directions. The principal portion of
the rebel command, however, retired In
good order toward the mountains south of
the city. Two Instirt ecto commanders.
Ralaxaric Garcia and Colonel Medina, de
sertpd their men and fled across the border,
where they surrendered to the American
troops. Lieutenant Colonel Reynnldo Pias
