THEY ALL KISSED SCHLEY A GREAT DEMONSTRATION IN WASHINGTON TODAY. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Admiral Schley received a great demonstration at the Navy department. He came to the department quite early, and after a call upon Acting Secretary Allen emerged from the main door of the secretar's office. His presence became known, however, and as soon as he was seen cheers rent the air from the clerks who assembled to catch a glimpse of the hero of Santiago. Of ficers and clerks from the departments crowded the corridors up to the Navy department until it was impossible to pass through. They crowded around the admiral, eagerly reaching forward to shake hands. The lady clerks were even more demonstrative, and the admiral was kissed by old and young without dis crimination. Finally it was necessary to form a line and pass the crowd around through the large rooms of the secretary's office in order to give them a chance to shake hands with the admiral. Many prominent army officers took part in the demonstration. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Who Black Mountain Wants For this Position. Editor The Citizen: I see in yester day's Citizen a very surprising state ment by S. F. Dougherty to the effect that "Both parties of Black Mountain township want Mr. Pell Sutton for commissioner." This is absolutely false. The "Democrats" of Black Mountain on last Saturday in their primary indorsed Mr. Champ Burnett for the position of commissioner, and refused to endorse Mr! Sutton! In view of this action by the primary Mr. Dougherty's statement is as remarkable for its "cool cheek" as for its inac curacy. Mr. Dougherty says: "I have looked over the township thoroughly and find that the name of Mr. Pell Sut ton is almost universally endorsed for the honorable position" (of commission er.) The only explanation that can be made of such thoroughness, is that the writer is an exception in "this end of the county" and has not "waked out of that long Rip Van Winkle sleep" to which he so picturesquely refers. The action of the primary on last Saturday will no doubt be a shock to him when he wakes. Mr. Dougherty speaks for himself and possibly for the Republi cans; the Democrats of this place have spoken for themselves. As the statement in question is to all appearances a deliberate misstatement of fact and a misrepresentation of the sentiments of this community publicly expressed in our primary and as it does a great injustice to Mr. Burnett who re ceived the endorsement so impudently claimed for another, I request that this denial be published in full. Very re spectfully B. H. BURNETT. Black Mountain, N. C, August 24. EX-JUDGE BOYKIN DEAD. Oid of Apoplexy in Harnatt County Today. RALEIGH, N. C, Aug. 27. (Special.) Ex-Judge Edward L.

YELLOW JACK IS SPREADING Three New Cases at Galves ton Today. Several Suspicious Cases at Key West THE SITUATION IS NOT AT ALL GRATIFYING AT PRESENT. HOUSTON, Tex., Aug. 27. State Health Officer Blunt was seen today after his return from Galveston and asked about the suspicious case of fe ver at that point. He-said the case of the soldier named Goodwin located with the troops at Fort Point, had been there since April 1. The case" was an extremely suspicious one, with nearly all the complete symptoms of yellow fever. This opinion was concur red in by Dr. Fly and other physicians of Galveston, and under the circum stances he deemed it but prudent to quarantine Galveston and await devel opments. FEVER AT VERA CRUZ. VERA CRUZ, Mex., Aug. 27. Several cases of yellow fever have declared themselves, and strict sanitary meas ures are being taken to, prevent the spread of the disease. MORE CASES IN GALVESTON.

He has isolated them and taken the precaution to burn the clothing and bedding. There are a few new cases also at Key West, which may turn; out to be genuine yellow fever, but they are not yet sufficiently developed to war rant positive statement in regard to them. GREAT BRITAIN AND CHINA SITUATION BETWEEN THEM SAID TO BE ACUTE. LONDON. Aug, 27. An authoritative confirmation has been recived to a dispatch from Pekin to the Daily Mail asserting that the relations between Tsung Li Yamen and Sir Claude Mac Donald, British minister to China, are strained to the point of rupture, and Sir Claude intimates that Great Britain wilt regard as a casus belli any failure on the part of China to observe her wishes. They say the situation between Great Britain and China is acute, Sir Claude strenuously insisting that China shall observe the engagements to British syndicates and demanding satisfactory explanations with regard to the Pekin- Hankow railway. If necessary, the British squadron, now assembled at Wei-Hai-Wei, will support the British minister's demands. Meanwhile, foreign office officials say negotiations now being conducted with Sir Charles Scott, British ambassador at St. Petersburg, to defiine the re spective British and Russian spheres of influence, are proceeding in a "per fectly friendly spirit."

THIS MAY BE THE BEGINNING OF VERY SERIOUS TROUBLE. LONDON, Aug. 27. The Philippine Islands commission In Europe has ad dressed a letter to President McKinley regarding the appeals made to him by high Roman Catholic ecclesiastics in America trf protect religious orders in the islands. The expulsion of friars, the commis sion contends, is "a necessary ante cedent to moral sanitation." The let ter names particularly the Archbishop of Manila and Bishops of Nueva Covla and Nueva Caseres, "whose acts of hostility against both natives and Americans and against the Jesuits and other respected religious institutions is condemned by every one." The commisson urges President Mc Kinley to "aid the Filipinos to sup press immediately the diabolical insti tutions fostered by these monks," and the letter concludes as follows: "Tour name can never be associated with that of these friars; and the sense of right of the noble . nation, at whose head you ar placed, will never permit the ever-victorious . and humanitarian stars and stripes to protect them."
