WASHINGTON LETTER.

A Bad Dodge—To Invade the Is-lands—France Wants our Wheat —Steel Armor Comes High in War Times

Frum Our RricuUr Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, D . C . , M a y 27 • Tlie Spanish" fleet-dodged once too. often when it dodged into the harbor at Santiago, Cuba. It found getting into that harbor easy enough, but the ships composing that fleet will never get out again, unless tliev are brought out under the American flag. That harbor is shaped like1 a very large bottle with r very small mouth. Our warships are outside that mouth and-will not have the slightest trouble in destroying the Spanish ships as fast as they at-tempt to-com4 out.—It- is-possible that our ships may decide to go in after them, but it is not at all neces-' "sary that they should,, as a com-paratively small force can keep

'them where they are until they are starved out, and it may be consider-ed good policy to follow the latter course.—ul use our fleets for work-ing else..'here, that promises better results with less risk to ouV men and ships. The long and narrow channel to Santiaga harbor is known to be heavily mined and for our ships to go in there would be ex-tremely hazardous. The same re-sults can be obtained by keeping the Spanish fleet shut up there; therefore it is more probable that the latter plan will be followed.

The government still maintains . secrecy in regard to all intended movements, but the events of the week speak for themselves and. re-quire no official explanation. Gen. Miles, with his staff, is preparing to go to f'orida to take personal com-mand of the army, and the presi-dent has Issued a call for 75,000 ad-

ditional volunteers. This means business, and immediate business, and there are good reasons for say-ing that the army is going to Vrtove upon Porto Rico as well as upon Cuba. It has-been the opinion of some of the president's ablest ad-visers from the first that Porto Rico should be captured before the general invasion of Cuba was put •Into effect. Both are now to be done in short order.

Nothing could more strongly em-phasize the scarcity of bread-stuff in Europe than the action of the French government in temporarily removing the duty on wheat—$1.35 for 220.46 pounds—carried intotliat country. As a special inducement to hurry shipments notice is given that the usual tariff will be collected on wheat on and after July 1st, by France. Some persons are dispos-ed to regard this move as a step in preparing for war, but at the French Embassy, in Washington, it is stat-ed to be merely an attempt on the part of the government to increase the Stock of wheat, hoping thus to decrease the cost of living in France.

The only reply that Gen. Miles haS made tq" the numerous publica-. tions alleging him to be trying to get the invasion of Cuba put off un-til fall was to.say : "The United States will in due tune bring Cuba under its control, by juJicious meth-ods and without useless waste "of life. The United States is too great,

. t»o strong, and too powerful to com-mit any . foolish act in connection with the invasion. As for myself, I have only to say that no officer is fit to command troops, who, from any motive whatever, would need-lessly risk the life Of a'slngle soldier,

7~either trom disease or thebulhSsof the enemy. 1 have never sacrific-ed the lives of men unjler my com-mand,,and i do not propose to. sub-ject them to any unnecessary risks in the coming campaign."

There was no pretence of com-petition in the bids submitted by the Carnegie# Steel company, and the Bethlehem Steel company, formak-ing armor for the battleships AU; barea, l̂ lll>oto.-*irt.Wisconsin, now

under, construction. The bids were the full limit authorized by congress to be paid—$400—a ton. The Carnegie company bid for the armor of the . Wisconsin; the Bethlehem company put in an exact duplicate for the armor of the Alabama, and they put in bids for equal portions of the armor for the Illinois. The bids of both stipulate that .deliv-ery of the armor shall begin next December and be completed within' one year. That will make it well into 1900 before the ships can be finished.

The congressional legislation a a complicated machine composed of wheels within wheels, all of which must .work in unison' to bring suc-cess, is very well known to those who have- experience;.. It was not therefore-50 surprising as outsiders might suppose when it was learned that the joint resolution fot.the an-nexation of Hawaii, which the house would gladly adopt by a big majority if it could get to a vote upon it, was somewhat tangled up with the war-revenue bill, which is still before the senate. Speaker Reed, whose vote in the committee on rules would get the resolution before the house by means of a special rule, had about made up his mind to vote for the rule.althouglyiersonally opposed to annexation, when he was inform-ed by leading senators-that it might endanger the war-revenue bill for the house t3 adopt the annexation resolution. Consequently (he pres-ent understanding is tlrat nothing will be ..done about the resolution un-til the senate has passed the war-revenue bill.

This State in Other Wars. &p>clil la The Blair.

SUMMERVILLE, May 26.—Now that war is upon us 0, few facts con-cerning South Carolina's place in previous wars may be -worthy of notice and may also act as a spur upon the patriotism of any wlTo may be lacking-ih that estimable quality.

In i8t2 the six New Englahd States furnished, to be exact, 5/162 men, and the little and much Abused State of South Carolina furnished 5,696, or over 500 more than all of New England. In that war the en-tire north furnished 58,552 and the enfire south, with a smaller popu-lation, furnished 96,812, or not very far from double the number— fully double considering .the popula-tion.

In the Mexican war Massachu-setts furnished 1,047 men and all the other .New England States fur-nished 1,532. Plucky little South Carolina'furnished 5,262, or more fhan double as many men as all of New England, while'the entire north furnished 23,054 men and the en-tire south furnished 43,630 men.

The facts- and figures, are taken from the archives at Washington, '•Thorns in the Flesh," page 209."

History must not be permitted to record the failure of South Carolina to furnish the quota called for in the present emergency.""

May tbe GodI of. battles shield our gallant braves, whether afloat or ashore, is the prayer rising from many a heart.

We trust that in their rigid e*am-nation of the volunteers the United States surgeons won't, be "too hard on the puny fellowsfrom the town's. In the civjl war the men to endure and fight on were not so often the towering offspring of the maine backwoods or the breezy plains, as the slender, cadaverous, and weak little fellows who went .into, camp from their cramped and stuffy of-fices.— N^C Ytfrk &«."

TRY TO BE CONTENT.

Advice for Troublous Times— Lots to Be Thankful lot—Hap-py Old Uncle Billy Baugh.

DDI Arp In Atlknta Constitution.

The best thing for a man or a woman to do in these troublous times-Is to try to be content with our situation- and surroundings. Good Lord, what a sight of time is wasted in longing for what we have not got and in apprehending trouble that may never come! Ambition for fame or wealth or power is a mistake—it is worse—it is a sin, for it is founded in selfishness. Burke tried them all and acquired them all and deserved them all, and yet in his old age he said in a letter to a friend: "Solomon was right, they are all- vanity. My time-is. iHuirlv out and I would rather sleep in ihe corner of a little country church-yard than in the tomb of the Capulets.

1 was ruminating about this be-cause a Singer sewing machine agent visited my house today and when he found we didn't want an-other machine he sat in the veranda and we talked about the war and about the beautiful region and the lovely weather and about inventions and progress and the restlessness and discontent of the people. He was a philosopher and had traveled-We agreed that if a man was mak-ing a fair livmg here he ought to not only be contented, but thankful and happy. "This is the most at-tractive part of Georgia,"'said lie, "and 1 have not found a region so; signally blessed, and yet your peo-ple do not seem to know.it or to ap-preciate their good fortune."

That U true. What a good, idea it would be for a man to keep a. debtor and credit account with his Maker, and charge himself with every good thing—his health and strength,' his'suHsme'ami stiowtr, the pure air and trees and fruits and flowers, the picturesque views of hills and valleys, the fast flowing streams, the songs of ttfe birds and the music that cheers the hearth and home. Then there are the dai-ly greetings and meetings with kind neighbors and friends and the merry voices of the children and the peace-ful, inviting sound of tlie Sabbath bells—and the blessed privilege of worshipping God according to our conscience, with none to molest or make us afraid. Then there is the daily morning prayer that is daily answered. "Give us this day our daily bread," and He gives, it for we have neither tramps nor beg-gars to afflict us and nobody suffers for bread or the necessaries of life. Above all, we have peace within our borders, and Pope says that, "All the joys of reason and of sense lie in three words—health, peace, and competence." Good gracious I what a debtor account we could run up against ourselves, and every item would be.God-given. ' '"Well, of course, there would be some things to put down on the other side—such as sickness, death in the family or some afflicted Child, or what is worse, some soaor daughter who has disappointed our hopes or brought grief to broken hearts. But most of these things are not chargeable to God, but rath-er to our own imprudence or lack of. duty. Fire and storm and pesti-lence come through His laws, but they rarely come.

There is more sunshine than cloud in our life if we will only look at it right, for we are the most helpless

man ought to be thankful "forevery-thing he gets. We don't (enow where we came from nor where we are going.nor where we will have to go, and yet we see folks strutting around and swelling .up with conse-quence. The best way Is to carry our neighbors, and if they have got any_ to_spare-let, us get a little of i theirs and mix It. Heard a fat wo-

bother about a cushion for me; 1 al-ways darry mine along with me." That's a gbod idea. I can pick out a dozen men in this town who carry sunshine and you are, glad to meet them. There are many more who carry clouds and still more who do not carry anything. It has been forty years since old Uncle Billy Baugh died, and 1 still treasure his memory, for he carried sunshine everywhere he went and never com-, plained. If he couldn't sell his watermelons he gave them away. He raised the best in the world, or at least it seefns so to me now—a small, long, white, thin-rind melon with red meat and white seeds. He peddled them around town, and like old Genef al Bethune, of Coluih-bus, talked to the pretty women and looked attliemthrough his specta-cles. If they dident wish to buy, he would say: "Well, I would like to give yOiTone if yolPwill come af-ter it." But it wouldn't do to send a servant. He said he wanted the sweet and pretty ladies to come nigh enough for his old eyes to see them good, and" they generally ac-cepted the compliment and went. My wife, she always went.

"When isit going to rain. Uncle Billy?" "You'll know by wait-ing," lie would reply. I think of that nowadays when anybody asks me what will be the outcome of this old war. "You'll know by wait-ing;" and the days are all coming this way. But the eager people don't want to wait. Aunt Ann, our old Guinea African cook, came up this morning wifd with excitement. She declared that two trains went up the road " 'bout day break dis mornin' all loaded down wid 400 dead soldiers carryin' 'em to Chat-tanooga to bury 'em. Dey just killed in de fust battle and hadent been put in no coffins. Blood ruri-QiflL fl°ra''em through j e floors of de cars jes'like bogs" ' Dat's what dey tells me."

We are having birthdays and other episodes at our house nowa-days just like there wasn't any wat. My wife has been saying for a long time that she owed some social debts to our good neighbors, and was just obliged to give a din-ing—and she did." We hail given the anonymous peafowls away and sent them to the country, but they all came back in a few days and we managed to catch them and coop them. They were round and fat and beautifully roasted. There were twelve good lady women or womanly ladies at the table besides mywife' ind one man. I was that man.

The prophet Isaiah tells us of a time, coming when seven women shall take hold of one man, but there were thirteen after me, and felt as meek as Moses and as hum-ble as a dead Indian. I got along pretty well, though, considering age and infirmity, and stood by my col-ors until the strawberries and ice cream were served which was, I be lieve, the fourth or fifth course, and then I heard the door bell ring, or I thought I did, and left the festive board. These swell dinings are hard upon me,' and upon the chil-dren. Two dear little grand-daugh-ters had waited and waited and peeped through the crack of the doof« dozen times, and when I went out one of them said, "Grand-" pa, ain't they done yet? " It re-minded me of the o|d Scotchman who got tired of waiting for his wife to come home from meeting—so he went after her and as she was near the'door he tipped In and whisper-ed,"' "Ain't hedoon yiO"f "Yes," said she, "he been doon some time, but he won't quit.""' my old friend, Eugene Harris, says he his watched t(ie Methodist preachers anns moth-er's hoOSe during quarterly reet-ings—watched through the cra« < of the door until they" id eaten 1 the last gizzard i^-the Ihen sii set and sot ove. .. tffee for

amen and amen and pat their stom-achs and go, and then, and not (ill. then, did we boys get a chance- at what little was left. ' •

And our little orphan grand-child had a birthday yesterday. She rose up to nine years and gave a little outdoor party * to lief little cousins. Everything was home-made, and it was nice, and I was in-vited and enjoyed the cake and ice cream and strawberries as mucji.as they did. And she got some' nice littIS presents from home and abroad, and I believe that if I had my way she should""stay as young and pretty and happy and innocent as. she is now all the jest of her days. But I reckon that couldent be did—could it ?

Ship's Range of Action.

"The pictures in some of the burnt-orange newspapers of battle-ships in action are about as funny as the Japanese ideas of perspec-tive," said a naval officer to a Washington Star man. "These pictures represent the opposing ships blazing away al each other with 13-inch rifles at a range of about 100 feet, and the artists certainty work up the thing to make the thing look terrific enough in all conscience. It's

-onder to me they don't repre-sent the crews of the opposing ships in the act ot using grappling irons, as they did in engagements in close waters in' the days of 70-gun frig-ates. As a matte ot fact, if either, battleship in an engagement be-tween vessels of today got within such a range of another, or any-thing like iti it would simply be a matter of. the first shut. One big shell delivered at such a range would leaye only the debris of the struck ship floating on the surface of the water. Moddern ships of war are not devised to get in any such range of each other in action. The nearest that any of the oppos-ing .ships in the great naval battle on the Yalu got to each other was a trifle under two miles, and what one battleship can do to another at that range is something beyond cal culation. The naval engagement of this era is very largely a matter of maneuvering—of presenting the smallest possible target to (he guns of the enemy's ship, and of facing the enemy to present their biggest hull to the range finders. When a Commander of a ship in the coming engagement can contrive to get in his work on tlie enemy's vessel while only pointing with his nose in their direction—leaving them prac-tically only a razor's edge target— he is liable to eat them up. But while there is still a drill in the United States navy called "repell-ing boarders," the drill is only re-tained-in the manual for the sake of exercising the men, and the only boarding that will be done in the coming fights will be done, by prwe crews taking possession. of beaten ships after the latter have struck their colors."

TUESpAY, MAY j i , 1898.

Diplomatic Silence Explained Through a gentleman who came*

to town last Saturday a request was communicated to us to explain some references to smallpox in our

. issue of May 6th. We find the sub-ject mentioned in three places in that issue. One of these is a mere statement of fact, by way of expla-nation of a previous rumor, and can-not be madeplainer. Another, is a report of the number of persons yhu had been vaccinated. We suppose no one ra res for an explanation of this. By the way, we see now that the subject of vaccination is mentioned in another jtface, which we had overlooked before the foregoing was written. The remaining mention is in these words :

"Chief Morgan is rushing the vac-cinating business, and wishes to have it completed within about a week, for diplomatic reasons which we will not mention now."

Now since our attention is called to it, this does bristle with the sug-gestiveness of what it does not say, and is alarming for the ominousness of its mysteriousness. We had no idea when we wrote it how forcibly we were concealing our "meaning. This, we doubt not, is the expression that demands explanation, "which explanation is this : Chief Morgan tokfus that he was anxious .to- get as many as possible vaccinated within about a week, as by that time a great many would probably have their arms in slings and be suffering a good deal; this would frighten the rest and it woulJ be very difficult to get them vaccinat-ed. .These were the "diplomatic reasons" '.which we thought best' not to give away at that time. We give them freely now, however.

The complaint of a Spanish col-onel imprisoned al Fort tycPherson, Atlanta, is that the peoprc "s tare at h im."

J-Gen. M. L. Bonham's offer of

1,000 sons of veterans just fits into the present situation. Those will fill up our quota of the second call. That is if they show up.

The authorities at Washington have directed that the South Caro lina companies be filled up to the maximum, 106 men, before any new organizations will be allowed.

It is now officially and positively stated that the Spanish fleet' is in Santiago harbor and that Schley is guarding the entrance. It is ex-pected that troops will be sent at once to Cuba.

J*

General Butler has more personal friends of influence in both political pa r i e s than any man in Washing-ton. However, in these war times men of M. C . Butler's military gen-ius are in demand. It is the- presi-dent, the army, and the country who are lucky in the appointment of M. C . Butler. His new honors do not make him z greater soldier than

--he-was already conceded to be" by '• veterans, north and south.—Green:. Jy-

CERVERA LOCATED.

Schley Says H e Has Seen the Spanish Squadron in Santiago Bay.

WASHINGTON, May 30.—At 12:30 o'clock this (Monday) morning the navy department received a dispatch from Commodore Schley announcing definitely that he had located Ad-miral Gervera's Cape Verde squad-ron in the bay of Santiago de Cuba. The commodore slates that he has seen and recognized -the vessels of the Spanish fleet.

While the naval officials have been -morally certain for several days that Cervera's 'squadron was in iheharbor of Santiago, the official announcement from_ Commodore Schley was received by the officers on duty at the department with in-tense satisfaclion. Assurance is now doubly sure that the Spanish fleet is"bottled up and that the cork is in the bottle.

It is not believed that Admiral Cervera will attempt to escape from the predicament in which he finds himself, as such a cotirse would surely result in the destruc-tion of his. vessels and the loss of many lives precious to Spain. The suggestion is made, however, that the Spaniard may blow up his ships rather than have them fall into the hands of Schley, as they will if they remain in the harbor.

The definiteness of Commodore Schley's dispatch would indicate that he has effected a -landing near Santiago and made a personal inves-tigation of the harbor. It would be impossible from the en t r anced the bay definitely to see and recognize the Spanish vessels, but by effect-ing a landing at some point on eith-

side of the entrance, a vantage point could be gained very likely 'from.which, the entire harbor could be' examined. In all probability Commodore Schley or one of his trusted officers has successfully per. formed this hazardous undertaking in order to obtain the valuable in-formation contained in his dispatch.

It is impossible, owing to the lateness of the hour, to obtain any official expression upon the news from Commodore Schley. What effect the certainty that Cervera is practically helpless will have upon the plans of the administration with reference to the invasion of Cuba can only. be conjectured. The transportation of land forces to the island, it is understood, was delay-ed because of the uncertainty con-cerning the location of the Spanish squadron. If that understanding is correct, the probability of an early invasion of Cuba' is strong. It is not unlikely that the movement of troops, which has been delayed from time to time, will begin this week and that before the end of the week the United States forces will have obtained a substantial foothold upon Cuban soil.

News from our town is very scarce; somewhat like rain. We are need-ing both but would rather have the rain, as it would be more beneficial to the crops and gardens, the latter needing it badly. The potato bug has made its appearance. M they don't "slow.up" we fear potatoes will be kinder scarce.

A Clever Trick.

It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Any-body can try "it who has Lame Back and Weak Kidneys, Malaria or ner ' vous troubles. We mean he can cure himself right away by taking Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to Liver and Kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures Constipation, Headache, Fainting Spells, Sleeplessness and Melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and restores the System to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bottleguaranteed. Only 50c. a bottle at Woods & Brice's Drug Store. .

At a meeting at the Court House, in the city of Chester, S.

It should be remembered that Chester county pays its proportion-ate share of the expense incurred in giving these farmer's institutes and experiments, and if her citizens re-fuse to avail themselves of the ben-efits to be derived from the infor-mation.thus afforded, they do them-selves injustice and deprive the Col-lege of the opportunity to demon-strate the successful attainment of this important object, for which it was devised. . <

It is hoped that every one inter-ested in the farming industry will appreciate the importance of this measure and attend this meeting.

A Remarkable Man.

Dr. A. F. Anderson, of Lowry-ville, is one of the most remarkable men in tffis country. He is in the last half of his eightieth year and is as strong, and healthy as he ever was, and about as active. He can mount any horse as quickly as any one else and stay on its back as long. All he asks of a horse is that it keep one foot on the ground. Dr. Anderson went into the army dur-ing the civil war "a hopeless dyspep-tic, and came out, like Uncle Sam, with several amendments to his con stitution, which have enabled him ever since to wrestle .successfully with all kinds of alimentary prob-lems, while practising over a very large territory.

' Pronounced Smallpox.

Yesterday a report came to town that a colored woman, Geo. Bab cock's wife, who lives out on the Saluda road, near the two mile post had something like smallpox. Drs. Pryor and McConnell saw the pati-ent and thought she had smallpox. Dr. W. J.- W. Cornwell, of Corn-well, who has had the disease and is regarded good authority, was called and pronounced it a genuine case of confluent smallpox.

The origin of this case is traced to a c3Se on the Lancaster road a short distance beyond the city limits, which the attending 'physician pro-nounced chickenpox. This, case came from Newberry.

Another case is reported on the Wylie place, about five miles in the country.

These cases are in charge of the county authorities and will be care-fully uisolated and guarded.

Good Suggestion.

CHESTER, S. C., May 31, r898. Mr. Editor: In the exuberance

of their patriotic ardor and kindli-ness of heart, tb»-l«rtf!es of our city are doing many good things for our soldiers, and the writer bids them a hearty godspeed in this noble gen-erosity. That this is a good work none will deny, even after it is ad-mitted that the delicacies sent are sometimes so intemperately. indulg-ed in that a spell of indisposition is the result, in the case of some of the soldiers at least. But where all ways are good, may not a still more excellent one be sometimes found? and in the belief that this is possible in this.instance.I would modestly-suggest that our people make an ef-fort, which would doubtless prove succcssful,-to raisfc what is aptly termed an emergency fund, for the benefit of our soldiers. As long as a soldier is in good health he is gen-erally pretty well able to take care of himself,, aided as he is by the government, which I have no doubt will do all it can to make them rea-sonably comfortable. But the case is quite different when the hand of disease is laid (it may be only light-ly) upon him, and right then is the time when he is almost sure to need something which could be. provided for him from this emergency fund but which would be inaccessible to him otherwise. If such things as are suitable to his condition at such times could be immediately supplied 1 have no doubt that protracted, and possibly fatal disease would often be averted. I am pleased to see that the government is purchas-ing large quantities of canned fruits and other delicacies for the soldiers which it does not propose to issue as regular rations, but which will be sold at actual cost to the soldiers. With these supplies at hand at the very cheapest rates, a small amount of money would go a long ways towards providing the comforts which amount to necessities in the case of a sick soldier, and in the be-lief that more can |be done to alle-viate the sufferings of our soldiers by some such method as the one here suggested, 1 venture to throw these thoughts out for whatever they may be worth.

A FRIEND TO THE SOLDIERS.
