T 1 . , - xi is oniy iour montns and a half since Aeuinaldo and a few chosen followers were -bro-aght by Admiral Dewey from Hong- Kong and landed atCavite. The insurrection, which had been sus pended bv the treatv at Biacna- bato on December 14. 1897. when Aguinaldo agreed with the O 1 v ., ouanisn to cease nostmties on the payment ol $600,000 and on promije of certain reforms, was now encouraged into new li'e by the presence of the voung leader, by the news that only one-third of the stipulated amount had been paid, aud by the knowledge that none of the promised re forms had been executed. About 2500 rifles, a large amount ot small arms ammunition, severa! large ships' guns, one converted Krupp gun, and various smaller modtrn pieces, with a consider able amount of powder and pro jrctiles, were handed over to Aguinaldo atCavite, and he wa able, without delay to form the nucleus of an effective force, which increaced' as the days passed, by constant accretion, until in a month he commanded nearly ten thousand men. En couraged by the friendly atti tude ot Admiral Dewey, irritated by the faithless promises of the Spaniards, and harboring the implacable hatred of their op pression and the thirst for re venge characteristic of their race, the natives began the campaign with great vigor, and continued it with such persistence that in a few short weeks they had com pletely invested Manila, and had so harassed the enemy by their barbaric methods of fighting and their restless activity that the tflVctiveness of the Spanish troops was largely diminished. Harptr's Weekly. Five-Cent Cotton. Comrr-nting on the possibility of prohtably producing five-cen: cotton, the New Orleans limes Democrat says: 'Tt goes without saying that a lair margin over tne cost oi production is necessary to the prosperity of every kind of in dustry; and it is simply by get- tine so wrong in calculating the cost of production that the bank ers have got so terribly off the track. We are thus brought face to face with the fundament al question: How is the cost ot production to be reckoned i lo everv man oi common sense it would seem that the cost should be calculated by taking the re sult of a series of years and striking an average. Last year the Mississippi Valley made an enormous crop, owing to me lateness of the lrost. This year the valley has made a compata- ... -w- 1 tiye failure, in lexas, tne very . . i i j reverse oi tnat nas nappencu. It is obvious that the truth can onl? be arrived at by taking the - r . t a average oi tne two scasuns When the calculation is made in that way it is readily seen mat five-cent cotton means ruin to the producer, and to everybody who is at bU back. Anybody who has been concerned in the production of cotton, either di rectly or indirectly, knows per fectlv that estimates made on any other basis will surely lead J ' . ...- It t A. to disaster. Ail tnis ta-K aoouc the prosperity that follows in the wake of five-cent cotton is excellent foolery, but notbmg more. The same prosperity ac- ft. A- .,.. companies city cent ui, nineteen cent corn ana 3o por. and the like. The farmer has had enough of that kind of pros perity, and wants no more of it, no matter what' the bankers may say.

New City Government Estab lished With Hon. A. M. Waa dell Mayor. Tnefollowirg account of Wil 1 M. t A a 11 raingion s rectnt trouDie is a condensation oKthe account fur nished the News and Ol server by its special correspondent: Wilmington, N. C , Nov 10. After a day of bloodshed and turbulence Wilmington has sub sided to-night into comparative peacefulness. Eight negroes were killed and three white men wounded during the day, one of them, William Mayo, seriouslv The furniture and building of the Record were destroyed. Editor Manly escaped. To-night the city is in the hands of a new municipal gov ernment and law and order is being established. This after noon the Board of Aldermen re signed, one by one. As each al derman vacated, the remaicdet elected a successor, named bv the citizens' committee until the entire board was changed legal ly. They resigned in response to public sentiment. The new board is composed of conserva tive Democratic citizens. The Mayor and Chief of Po i"ce then resigned and the new boar-; elected their successors, according to law. Ex-Congress man Alired Moore Waddell was elected Mayor, and E. G. Parme lee. Chief of Police. The first act of the new gov ernment was to swear in 250 special policemen, chosen from the ranks of reputable white citizens. They are vested with all the authority ol the law and will take cha.ge of the city. The citizens will remain on guard however, throughout the town to prevent possible at tempts at incendiarism. The new government will devote its attention to restraining reckless ness among the whites as well as ieeping down lawlessness among the negroes. Further trouble of a general or serious nature is not expected. Wilmington, November 11 Wilmington is still und.r mar tial law. The five companies o troops have reluved the three hundred special police at iun down, and are to-night patroll ing the city. Hardly a negro can be seen on the streets and a very few white people are away from their homes. This is ii. accordance with a proclamation issued this afternoon by Mayor Waddell. All citizens except the special police force haye agreed to Ia down their arms to-night, pre serve the pesce and do all in their power to aid the city gov ernment in restoring order. Rioting so far as the negroes are concerned is at an end, and no further trouble irom that quarter is expected. Fusionists have sown Radical rule in New Hanover county. They have reaped violence and bloodshed. Just exactly what the awful harvest has been in this citv no one can say to-night. Perhaps it will never be known. The best authorities fix the num ber ot dead at six, and number of wounded at ten. This, how ever, is but an estimate. Six dead bodies haye been found and identified. Seven wounded ne groes and two white men have been t:iken to the city hospital. Since the killing of a negro tear the railroad early this morcing by a soldier there has been no shooting here to-day. Work of another and much need ed kind has been going on. Peo ple ol the city have been ridding themselves of the leaders who are responsible for the misrule of the past few years, and the bloodshed ot lhursday. The good work began last night with G Z French, a white carpet-bagger. He was waited on at his room at the Ortcn House by a committee, escorted to the train by a quad of mili tia with fix'd bayonets and put on the train with the iijunc tion to leave North Carolina and never return again upon peril of his life It is believet he has gne to W. . hington. French has been acting sheriff here for some time. Hewett being only a figure head. Early this morning the worl of banishment was resumed vfcen a fquad of soldiers, undei co mm a i d of Lieutenant Com mander Geo.

They went tc Newberneand were not, how ever, allowed to remain there .. . ... long. They left almost imme diately, and a special from Goids- boro says they parsed that place safely to night. Bunting is cordially hated nere. ne nas lor manv vears i lived with a negro woman, and in his police courts he has al ways held the scales of justice so as to favor the negroes and se verely punish the whites. Isaac Loftin, colored, and Charles McAllister, are mer- chants here who have been sell ing arms and ammunition to w . m iuv mgiuwauu luuuug iu(iu lu use them. As the train pulled out and the thousands assem bled at the station began cheer ing. Bunting and Gilbert burst into tears. Gilbert leaves be hind a wife and five children Bunting's paramour and sev eral other negro women who have been talking too much, will be made to follow, it is stated, to night. Late thi afternoon a committee waited on R. B. Reardon, an objection able negro barber here, but he had heard they were coming and he fled down the Sound. He will not return to-night. W. E Henderson, a negro lawyer, leit with his family for Richmond They went to the depot under escort of posse of officers. There were several other leaders who have indicated a willingness to go of their own accord within the next few days. They will be allowed to do so. The worst men and most ob jectionable leaders in the city having now been banished, no further lorce will be permitted in the matter. The citizens com mittee which has been attending to this work of purification to night promised to desist, lav down their arms and leave the rest to the regularly organized city gavernmeut. Wilmington, N. C, Nov. 12. The new city government has thoroughly established law and order. Under Mayor Waddell'. direction order has been brought out of chacs, and the military patrol is to be dispensed with Monday. Some of the Maxton troops left this afternoon, no further trouble being feared. One hundred new polcemen are to be elected at o ce. Fifty were chosen by the board of alder men this morning. Mr. Robert Green was selected as captain of police. The entire lorce will be elected and ready for service by Monday evening. Negroes who fl?d to the woods in droves Thursday, and haye since been in hiding, are coming back to town, many of them in a famished condition. The authorities have put an end to the expulsion of citizens who have been prominent in ne gro leadership. Many of them, however, are still leaving of their own accord. Ex Mayor Wright left the city to-day. He bought a ticket Lo New York City, and it is not be lieved that he will "ever return. Others will follow. The new city government could not be a better one. It is head ed by ex-Congressmen Waddell. The board of aldermen is com posed of the most prominent and wealthiest men in the city bankers, merchants, manufac turers, lawyers and railroad men ten in number. Thursday, Friday and to-day they were often in council, pass ing decrees, issuing proclama tions and keeping a close watch on every phase of the revolution sweeping over the city. They have gone along, nothing doubt- ing, notning tearing. Keeping firm had on the pulse of the city always and promptly making tront without lear or Hurry, the w at ts ot each hour. Let the peopleof Wilminton ! content with this improvised government. It is of the best. It has(tbe implements and has 'he hands. Its rule will be a righteousne.

THE RAM ALBEMARLE. A Brief History ot How She Was Built. The ironclad ram Albemarle was built lor the Vonlederatc Government, n it in a public na- vy varo, out in a corn-neio on Koanoke river, in Halifax coun- ty, N. C , about tweDty miles be- low Wcldon, on a farm owned by las. N. Smith, Esq , a highly respected ana patriotic citizen - . ot that county. Ihe vessel was KUDSUUCICU UUUCr IX CUQUaCl with the Confederate Navy De- partment by Gilbert Elliott, who employed the carpenters and laborers and furnished the ma- terials and equipped the boat, unuer the supervision ot lorn mander James W. Cooke, of the Confederate States Navy, a na tive of North Carolina. Gilbert Elliott, the son of Gilbert and barah A. lilliott, was born in Elizabeth City, N. C, on the 10th of December, 1843. When the war commenced, in 1861, he was a clerk in the law office of William F. Martin, who, it ad dition to his la iv practice, own ed a thip-vard and a number ol negro ship carpenters, slaves ol himself and family. Mr. Martin took a contract with the Con federate States Government to build three wooden gun-boats at Elizabeth City, but he was soon elected colonel of the Sev enth Regiment ot North Caro lina Volunteers, went to the front, ani was captured at the fall of Hatteras. Meantime he had left Gilbert Elliott to look alter the business management ol his ship yard, with James E Snell as the boss carpenter. In February, 1862. the Federal fiet captured Elizabeth City. The three wooden gunboats were burned on the stocks, and Gilbert Elliott took all the tools, equipments and carpenters to a point on the Elizabeth river, near Norfolk, and commenced the construction of another wooden gunboat there. Nor folk soon fell into the hands of the enemy, and Elliott moyed his plant and carpenters to North Carolina. His friend, Colonel Martin, re leaser from prison, re-organized bis command which was now called the Seventeenth Regiment North Carolina troops. He ap pointed Gilbert Elliott his adjut ant. The carpenters were hired out for other work in the interi or and the youthful navy con tractor went to the front with the army. But he had not long been in camp at Petersburg when he was urgently solicited by Secretary Mallory, of the Confederate Nayy Department, who had formed a yery high opinion of Elliott's business ca pacity and energy, to undertake the building of another gunboat, this time to be an iron-clad ram, as the career of the Merrimac Virginia had revolutionized na val warfare. Upon Mr. Mal lory 's request, the Confederate States War Department grauted Lieutenant Elliott a two years fut lough, and he was relieved of the duties of adjutant, returned to North Carolina, gathered up the tools and the carpenters, and began his new yenture at Tar boro, on Tar fiver, N. C. But the Federal troops occupying New Berne made a raid to Rocky Mount on the Wilmington and Weldon railroad, burned the railroad bridge, and returning via Tarboro, destroyed young T-it- i t. vr c Although at this time only 19 vrrs ef aae. his enerev and per-1 ' O m a sistence were di-played by the removal of what was left of hi ship-building plant to a more se to cure position on the Roenoke.

Eva . now a resident of Scotland Neck, in that county, became associat ed with Elliott and rendered efficient service. The son of a planter, and a planter himself. educated at tne university o North Carolina, Mr. Smith was a born mechanic and genius in that art. Wheu the time came to put on the iron plates the work was found to be very tedious, as the boring had to be done with an old drill from the Norfolk n ivy yard. Under the necessity Smith invented and put into operation a drill which cut through the iron like an auger through an oaken plank, and the pitting was then speedily and effective! done. When the war erded. Smith's friends ioduced him to apply to the Washington Gov ernment for a patent on his use ful invention, but he found that about the same time that ht had made his drill some ingeni ous Yankee had invented one exactly similar, on the other t . . t w v side of the line, and already had his patent for it. The history of the Albemarle, her construction, her famous battles, and her destruction by a torpedo, are recorded in the Century War Papers by Federal and Confederate contributors, and other faces are given in a lecture delivered by Gilbert El liott. in the city of St. Louis in 1887, but the narrative traits mention of himself, as aide to her commander, Cooke, in her first encounter with the enemy at Plymouth. Before reaching that town, Cooke learned that a line of torpedoes had been stretched across the river to blow a hole in the bottom of his craft, and he came to anchor During the night Elliott sug gested to him that on account of the great freshet, he might float over the obstructions, and volunteered to make a recon noissance. With two sailors in a small boat, oars muffled, he slowly moved in the dark shad ow along the river bank down to the enemy s fort and took soundings himself along tie line of torpedoes, and had the great satisfaction of reporting to Captain Cooke that there was water enough. Cooke did not wait to hoist his anchor, but slipped his cable, moved at once, and passed safely over the tor pedoes. After the victorious conflict with the enemy's gun boats the young aide tbei bore dispatches from Com minder Cooke to General Matt W K in som, commanding the right wing of Hoke's army, an 1 fol lowed that officer in the grano charge which captured the ene my's strong fortifications. After this battle, the Secretary of the Navy established a nav yard at Halifax, with Com m m der Cooke in charge, and thcrt Elliott undertook to build a larger and more formidable iroi. clad ram. under contract, but i . ) the war ended before she could be completed, and her frame jw upLLd PmmirK ABSQivmx Makes the food more delicious and wholesome ovt iim was destroyed when Sherman's army occupied Eastern North Carolina.

Few clergymen in America art better known than Rev. W. H. Milburu. who was for ro many terms tre 'blid chaplain" o the national House of Rep t entativen, atiu is now chapLi f the Senate. The story- vouched for in vario-g biogra phies of bisfirot hction to that honor i en' irely to thecredjtot bis fidelity and ol the better teel ngs of the legislators who saw eason to prr pose kis name. In 184-5, when travelling as a cncuit preacher, be wa rent Irom St. Louis to Wheeling, Va. On the boat were several Con gressmen, going to Washington Some of whom shocked the )Oung minister by their reckless speech and habits. They "swore outrageously, drank whiskey to excess, and played cards day and night." One of the days of the long river journey was Sunday, and Mr. Milburn was asked to preach. The offending Congress men were present to bear him, and at the close of an appropri ate discourse be adlrcssed them directly, and solemnly denounced their actions in the plainest language. He told them be b td supposed the representatives of the nation at its capital were representatives of its character as well as cf its intellect, "but if I am to judge the nation by jou," said be, "I can come to co other conclusion than that it i composed of profane swearers. card players and drunkards. He told them thi.t asan Ameri can citizen he felt disgraced by their example, and after charg ing them with its terrible efftet upon the youth of the land, be gave them warning that unless they repented and tuined U. righteousness, their own enr) was certain ruin under the pun ishment of Almighty God. If there was any criticism oi the young preacher's judgment in thus publicly arraigning dis tinguished men, every one ot whom was old enough to bt bis father, tbey were not th ones to put it into words. What followed was as unexpected at. it was admirable. The same day Mr. Milburn was waited upon in bis state room by a gentleman who pre sented a purse about seventy five dollars from the Congress men, in token of their "sense o his courage and faithfulncs,' and desired to know if he woulr allow them to present his nami at the opening election of chap lain to Congress.
