PORTO RICO IS TO BE SEIZED Probably to Be the Work of Sampson's Fleet. Significant Statement of Sen ators Near President BOMBARDMENT MAY OCCUR TOMORROW, IF BOMBARD NENT BE NECESSARY. WASHINGTON, May 5. There were many conferences today between the President and Senators and Represen tatives. The first comer was Senator Burrows of Michigan, who presented some friends. As he left he said: "Everything is moving along smooth ly. What we want now is Porto Rico. We ought to have that tomorrow." . "As soon as that, Senator?" Yes," was the reply. "Probably in a day or two." While refraining from saying what had transpired during his brief inter view with the President, Burrows' statement that the seizure of Porto Rico is expected to be effected in a day is thought to be significant. Senators Frye and Hale of Maine. Allen and Gear, Senator Piatt of New Tork and Representative Curtis of Kansas, and Wadsworth of New Tork, were among the early callers. . IN DISTRESS. Owing to the war demonstrations in nearby waters the island of Navassa. one of the small islands in the Carib bean sea, off the west coast of Haytl, is threatened with a wood famine. Re ports of the distressing condition have reached here, and Senator Gorman to day called the attention of the Presi dent to this state of affairs. In view of the proximity to Cuba, Porto Rico and the islands in those waters and the fact that Spanish vessels at any time may intercept and attack vessels go ing here commerce with the islands has been suspended. There is repre sented to be about 70 Americans on the island, mostly from Maryland. The President promised to take the matter up and determine what could be done. PORTO RICO. Despite the hourly expectations of an official dispatcfc from Dewey via Hong Kong .there were no important advices at the White House up to 11 o'clock. Persons who were with the President assert that there is a strong likelihood that Porto Rico will be in the hands of the Cnited .States within 48 hours. The immediae seizure of the island, they (ssert, will be made, though direct con firmation is lacking- Senator Lindsay and Representative Settle of Kentucky have urged on the President the appointment of P. P. Johnson and John B. Caselman, as brigadier generals. WHERE IS SAMPSON? No confirmation is obtainable of the various reports concerning the move- mepts of Admiral Sampson s Meet. Per sons who might be supposed to share the confidence of the administration are credited with the statement that the Admiral has gone to seize Porto Rico. On the other hand, it is assert ed, with almost equal positiveness that the fleet is .gone to mvet the Oregon and bring her in safety to the north. Still another report ia that the admiral has gone to seize Matanzas, as a base of operations. The officials refuse ab solutely to make public any informa tion as to the movements of the army and navy. NO WORD FROM DEWEY. The Navy Department officials have concluded that there is little prospect of receiving news from Commodore Dewey directly during the course ot the day. though there tfl a possibility that a merchant vessel may reach Hong Kong from the Philippine islands bringing some news of the battle and the subsequent events at Manila. It is practically settled that the cable can not be relied upon as a means of com munication, as it is believed to be cut ia shore somewhere near its landing place on the island of Luzon, Point Bol-in-ao. and beyond reach of Commodore Dewey at this time. The official cal cualtions are as follows: The latest authentic and direct news from Manila showed that Dewey had subdued the Spanisb fleet and ma.' a demand for the surrender of Manila through the British consul, some time Sunday afternoon. He. at the same time, gave notice of a bombardment at the expiration of 24 hours, which would make the bombardment itself be gin Monday afternoon. OPrestuning a dispatch boat sailed at the earliest mo ment after the bombardment, Monday evening, and allowing three days for the passage of the ship. Is not due at Xlong Kong or Mirs Bay untn tonight. It,, is already tonight by our time in either place, and possibly the McCul loch. or some other dispatch boat, is just entering the harbor. Oother delays would occur before the receipt of a ca ble here through the many relay sta tions, so that it thought there is little chance of official news coming during the daylight hours. REVOLUTION IN PORTO RICO. NEW YORK, April 5. A special dis patch from Kingston, Jamaica, asserts that official dispatches passing through that city report that here has been an anti-Spanish uprising in Porto Rico and that the revolutionary movement la well under way. The dispatch has not been confirmed. LONDON, May 5. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Key West, sent by way of Tampa in order to escape cen sorship, asserts of positive knowledge that Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet will steam at full speed to Porto Rico, either to destroy or to occupy the coal ing station as a naval base before the Spanish squadron arrives, and then put to sea and try to engage the Cape Verde fleet. PORTO RICO. The configuration of Porto Rico is different from that of Cuba. The land rises immediately from the seashore into a group of hills and mountains, culminating in a peak 3678 feeC high. These mountains are covered with magnificent timber and Intersected with lovely valleys, watered by running streams, with a deep, rich soil that pro duces luxuriant crops of all tropical stapues. It is said to be even more fertile than that of Cuba, if such a thing were possible. The chief products are sugar, tobacco, coffee, rice, cotton and fruits of all kinds, and the arable land is pretty well taken. There are supposed to be very rich mineral de posits. Gold, iron, copper, lead, salt and antimony have been found, and some of the mines have been worked for 200 or 300 years with a profit; but agriculture has paid so much better that the mineral resources have been left undeveloped. The climate of Porto Rico is much more healthy than that of Cuba, and is as good as that of any tropical coun try on earth, owing to the absence of swamps, jungles and other lowlands which breeds marlaria. The mercury often falls as low as 50 degrees Fahren heit during the winter season and never rises above 85 degrees in mid summer. The nights are always cool. Porto Rico is densely populated, the total number of people enumerated at the last census being 748,709, or more than half as many as are in Cuba. Ninety per cent, of the population are negroes or mulattoes; at least 400,000 are pure blooded descendants of the slaves that were brought over from Af rica by the Spaniards. The white popu lation does not exceed 50,000 35,000 Spaniards and a few English, Germans, Dutchmen, Danes, Chinese, South Americans and Canary Islanders. Only 96,867 of the population can read and write, and these constitute the upper and middle classes in the cities and larger towns. The blacks are absolute ly illiterate. The capital, San Juan, is a pictur esque place on the northeast coast, with a poulation of 23,414. Ponce de Leon, on the southern coast, has the largest population and is more popu lar and prosperous, having 37,000 peo ple. St. Germaine has 30.000, and there are two or three other cities of more than 10,000 population. San Juan is protected by an enormous citadel, which stands upon a rock which projects into the sea, and is sur rounded by massinve walls and stone and cement, in some places 100 feet nitih. The body of Fonce de Leon, who died in Cuba of wounds received from the Indians in Florida, was brought tc Porto Rico and deposited in a lead case under the altar of the Church of the Dominicans, and in the main plaza ot the city is a monument to the memory f that romantic seeker of the fountain of youth. The inscription reads: "This narrow grave contains the remains of a man wno was a uon oy name uu uy leed." The revenues of Porto Rico have av -rased about $4,000,000 a year, but are nearly all sent to Spain. Not more than $.".00,000 is spent annually on me island, and most of that goes to sus tain a garrison of about 20,000 soldiers. The exports and imports will average bout $ir.000,000 a year. The large part of the commerce is with the Lnitea States. The people of Porto Rico are much more peaceably inclined than those of Cuba. They have suffered less from tyranny and taxation, and the island is so small, the people are so compactly settled, that they have been more easily controlled by the military. SUPREME COURT- Opinions In Several Cases From Buncombe. The Supreme court has filed opinions in several cases of interest to Bun combe. One of these is the case of Otho W. Budd and Mrs. Berry vs. Southern Railway company, in which suit was brought on account of goods lost in the freight depot fire, the amount being about $1200. It was heard here wnn Tiide-o Timherlake and the ver dict was for the railroad. The Supreme court finds error ana tne case comeo back for a new trial.

STILL RIOTING s IN SPAIN'S CITIES High Price and Scarcity of Food, Alleged Causes. A Mob of 8000 Miners Make a Demonstration. EXPORTOF BREAD STUFFS PRO H I BITE D PREMIUM ON EX CHANGE ENORMOUS. MADRID, MAY 5. The disturbances caused by the high price and scarcity of food continue in the Spanish provinces. There have been frequent conflicts be tween the rioters and civil guards, and looting and shooting are reported at va. rious points. At Barcelona there has been a renewed run on the bank, the holders of the notes demanding silver. A mob of about 8000 striking miners made a tumultuous demonstration at Murcia, capital of the province of that name, 30 miles from Port Carthagena. They shouted "Death to thieves!" "Down with taxes!" and attempted to set fire to the railroad depot and other buildings, and then began a movement towards Carthagena. A strong force of troops, however, prevented the rioters from moving on the port. A number of men were wounded. A disturbance was also threatened at Carthagena, where mar tial law was proclaimed. Similar scenes occurred at Oviedo and Leon and at a number of other towns where the factory hands struck work. The strikers are parading the streets, demanding cheap board, and stoning houses. Steps by the authorities re sulted in the restoration of peace at Malaga, where the British steam yacht Lady Clemen was recently stoned and driven out of the harbor. A bill has been introduced in the cortes to prohibit the exportation of corn, flour, rye, maize, potatoes and fruit and suppressing the duties on the importation of those articles. This is intended to checkmate the speculators who, owing to the enormous premium on exchange now 11 per cent. have commenced immense exportations of produce, against which they have nego tiated bills in the foreign markets. These exports created a scarcity of food, which is largely responsible for the rioting throughout Spain. HELPING MURPHY. Recruits for That Company Beinq Secured Hers. W. N. Cooper, recruiting officer repre senting the Murptiy military company, is here to secure recruits for that or ganization. Mr. Cooper has headquarters- in the Paragon building and de sires to enroll about 10 additional vol unteers. The following names have al ready been received: H. R. Tatham, Andrews; J. L.

The Asheville volunteers have asked to be allowed to name the first lieuten ant and first sergeant of the company, but it is not known whether the Mur phy members would approve of such a course. Should the request he granted it is likely that Harold Johnston will be chosen to fill the first named office. NEW MILITARY COMPANY. 48 Charter Members Enrolled Last Evening. At tHe meeting held in the armory last evening to organize a new military company, 48 names of charter members were enrolled. There were also a num ber of additional applications for mem bership, and those who desire to be come members will receive eany con sideration. Only 12 additional members are wanted, however.

English Public Men Commend America s Humanity. LONDON, May 3. The Chronicle has obtained statements from public men concerning their views of the Spanish American war. Mr. Asquith. home secretary in the late Liberal administration, said: "My sympathies are, and have been from the first, entirely and heartily with the United States. There are always peo ple who can see in great movements of national feeling nothing more than the disguised operation of selhsh and sor did forces. I believe that in their reso lution to put an end to the cruelties and abominations which a system of incurable misgovernment has inflicted upon Cuba, the American nation is re sponding to ihe demands of humanity and liberty, and setting a worthy ex ample to the great Christian powers of the world." Sir Henry Fowler, formerly secre tary of state for India, expressed an opinion of equal strength. He says his sympathies are all on the side of Amer ica, and that he believes that England ought to give her full moral support, N. Y. World, WILL NOT HAVE LOGAN- Illinois Officers Resolve to Resign if Hs Is Glvsn a Command. SPRINGFIELD, II., May 3. It wad announced here today that John A.

THEY NOW KNOW THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN OF THE UNITED STATES. KEY WEST.'April 5. The United States boat Leyden, sent to Cuba by the United States early in the week, returned here from Cuba this morning with four of the six Cuban scouts who left here on a mission last Monday. The other scouts were landed, with those who returned, and communication was established with the Insurgent forces under Pedro Delagado. The Leyden was twice fired upon. She bears bullet marks upon her smokestack. The Spaniards who opened fire on the dispatch boat were driven oack by. the insurgents. Two parties were landed on Cuban soil, one of them having a sharp en gagement with the Spanish forces. One of the parties consisted, according to report, of a commission from Wash ington Gomez, which was debarked on the north shore of Santa Clara prov mce, from whence an Immediate start for the interior was made. The other party, which landed near Mariel, north of Havana, was under the command of the Cuban leader Acosta. Before this company went ashore the cruiser Wilmington shelled some Span- .sh cavalry asembled in the vicinity. uid when the landing was effected, Aeostas' detachment charged and routed the Spaniards, who, in the re treat, took with them about 60 wound ed comrades. The American and Cu oan colors were hoisted, side by side on Cuban soil. TAMPA, May 5. The steamer Oli ette, which has been lying at the locks of port Tampa for several days, mailed today for Key West. On board .vere Lieut. Col. Lawton of Shatter's taff, inspector general of the south- vestern district, and Commodore Wat- on. On account of the near approach if the - time when the United States roops will be called upon to effect a .anding in Cuba and the fact . that Lawton is on Shatter's staff, a good Jeal of significance is attached to the departure. It is supposed Lawton's -rip is for the purpose of gathering in formation possible as to the movement jf the Spanish fleet and the disposition jf the Spanish forces in Cuba. REV. J. L. KENNEDY.

Often make a mistake in supposing that all drug stores charge unreason able prices for prescriptions good drugs are generally expensive and it takes several years of education and experience in order to prepare pre scriptions properly these facts n.ust be considered and a fair profit must be allowed, that's what we are in bus iness for, not for health only at Dr. T. C. Smith's Drug Store good drugs are used, they are carefully mixed by lawful prescriptionsts and legitimate prices are charged it won't do to compare prices made by different stores, for there are big differences in quality of drugs used, which can only be detected by their effects- if you save a few cents by having your prescriptions filled with poor drugs, and have the work done twice to get the desired effect where are you ?
