The WatadaS. Bemocrat Ihursfhy, Jan. 7 I8V7. Since our la8t issue there has b e e n do important change in the Cuban 'affairs, and but little fighting done. There has been a Rreat deal ii id about the United States and Spain agreeinK upon an arbitration to close the Cu ban ar. It is hp id that Spain has agreed to let. the United States interfere in a peaceful way allowing reforms in Cu ba, Spain "still to hold power i nd doih inion b ver Cu ba , bu t with less vigor in the way of tax?s and tariff, ab that the government of Cnbawill here t after be more liberal to Spain. So far the Cubans will not a gree to any terms except free dom from Spanish rule.' The news from Cuba is so uncer tain and contradictory that it is hardly safe to believe any published reports. It is evident that Gen. Weyler has made a complete failure in his campaign against the in surgents in the ' province of 'Pinar del Rio and there is great dissatisfaction in Spain over his failure and reports are current that he will soon be recalled and snpereeeded. Gen. Weyler has had 200,000 Spanish troops in Cuba and ta-day the insurgent arm.y is stronger thari ever nnd Cu ba is no less subdued than two years ago. - This looks gloomy for Spain's successiu the island of Cuba. Cuba in the richest country in the world, as a population of 1,500,000, composed of ma ny nationalities. About one third are negroes. The island is perhaps as large as North Carolina, and was one of the great sugar provinces. It is now a waste, having been burned by both armies. ' ' The old year, 1896, has passed, leaving behind many sad' recollections, of changes hrraany ways. Numerous sad changes have occurred, many failures and many deaths, whild suicides have been a common . occurrence. Fires and all kinds of disaster have happened in our country du ring 1896. The New Tear, 1897, has entered upon- its voyage and its few first days have chronicled big financial failures, railroad wrecks, raur ders, fires and storms.. It will "eve be as it has been. We can't know yet what is J u store for us in the year 1897. Financially it is very gloo- , my to us, as we see no hope of prosperity for us. Provi dence may bless us with good health and good crops, for which we should feel thank ful. Temporal blessings will no doubt continue, and we can -have sonnthing upon which to subsist. The tariff will now engage the attention of Congress and great speeches will be made on the blessings of a protec tive tariff under a gold stan dard. Congress will fuss and fume on the tariff and on the 4tn of March it will close doors and nothingdone. The people are still restless a n d clamor for financial legisla tion, but the die is cast; par ity spirit is too strong. The edicts of the bosses must be observed whether the people suffer or not. Business fail ures will continue to fail and the number of tramps will in crease; more strikes will oc cur, hut partisan legislation will continue. ' Peopie are starving in-In' , nia for the want of bread and great suffering is reporrec! ; We have a report t hut fine Frank Gilliam, a former deav pera.lo of VVatn ngn;'; has r. cently been hunji for murder some where in Tennessee. He confessed on t he ga lows that be hnd kihed five men, one of the nnmber being JSIisha Hpl i ler.of t hf A cxiiu'n tyi wh(i. wak found dead several years a- tra on theIYniiMuiee RfrtoXItl go on ..i ne , 1 enneaaee wa-'? ; j was supposed ttmt tioioer had diel from natural caus es, bnt Gilliam told that he killed him supposing that he had money but only found 45 cts. on his' person. He far thor sta ted . t ha t; he ca rried the old man's satchel off bnt dropped It hear the old inan Arch Thompson's and left it. The late Maj. James , Brown was the one t who found the dead man Holder, who h a d been so long defunct that noJcauRe of his ; death could belearned. Our people will vi v idly remember, the daring of Gilliam and the death of old man Holder Tb Sultan of Turkey has again become aroused u gainst the powers of Europe, and talks bark to them. The Sultan still goes on murder ing the Armenians whenever he feels t o disposed. There will be stirring timen in that part of the earth within the next few weeks, unless the powers back do'wn from their position on this Turkish slaughter.'"" It looks as if the Turkish Monarchy will soon lopple and fall never again to afflict humanity. It.. C; D., wri.tingrf r p m Cove Creek says: .The wheat crop on our creek looks nnu sually well. Mr. S.S.McBride sowed 45 bushels; Mr.. Jerri raiah Green sowed 41 bush el) and Mr. John McBride sowed over 30 bushels. Some of your subscribers at .Mer ger say that the last week's paper did not reah h e in fast week, and would 'like to know the cause. - - The paper was nOt issued last week .Democrat.' The murderous rascals who o,bntructed the railroad two miles from Raleigh and caus ed a wreck of the freight train, have not been caught. It is supposed that their ob ject was to derail the passen ger train instead of tfie freight for the purpose of pil lage and plunder, but the freight came before the pas senger." One man was killed and another seriously hurt, while the trainj was entirely wrecked. . ': ;r Late reports say that Gen. liaceo was severely wounded and not killed as reported, but is in seclusion, his where abouts only being known by a few of his friends. Maceo it is probable may recover, and yet dogoo JservheSucb is the kind ' of news we fre- auently get from Cuba. -IKe o not know how true it: is, but there has been a great mystery hanging oyer -the alleged killing of Maceo and it may oe true that he is still alive. r. - 1 : ' "X.
