Several ancient Spanish cannon and a number of imitation cannon, manufactured out of gas pipe, were captured. The rebels did not attempt to burn the place. The Spanish prisoners are reported 'to have been removed a week ago, evidencing that the natives expected an attack. PRISONER'S DARING ESCAPE.

Washington, April 31. A report has been circulated jthat Judge H. G. Ewart will probably fail of reappoint ment on account: of a lekal point which farisea .becuse-kr ras twice failed toT,nerctr marWng a the conclusion secure confirmation. The facts are these: The efforts- to defeat Ewart did not cease with the adjournment of congress., and the latest effort against him has bten to make it appear that his reappointment would be an illegal act. The delay in his appoimbment has been caused by an argument that sec tion 1769 of the revised statutes' for bade any appointment until the next session of congress. Ewart sprung a surprise on the department of justice by showing that the law had been re pealed. His enemies bad cited an ob solete law' and added another bad break to their record. W. A. H. A Washington special in yesterday's Charlotte Observer says: "It can , be stated tonight upon un questionable authority that H. G. Ewart will be reappointed federal Judge for the- western district Of North Carolina during the resent week. He has been allowed his salar since March 4 on liis last recess appointment by a decision of Comptroller Tracewell, of the treasury." i 'rhc Vaith WITH - ww a.m. -w - - - - - - - i THE OLD THE NEW ft If you must depend otn artificial aid to restore failing vision, why Li .1 TMmCtfTtO mk.f'n none too- good.

Cambon that she Is willing to and intends to re surae friendly intercourse with the United States.. It is customary for a defeated nation to delay the resump tion of official intercourse.

Consideration was eiven to the arivisaHMtv nt misino- the army serve howe 8tatIons in order that the regulars might be sent to the Philippines but Otis has confiremed the president's opinion that the troops now witih him and the reinforcements nowo.i the way will be suJlcient. At least there will be no demand for a large increase for the six months' time within ;wlllch the volunteers must be muster- ed out, and , if the insurrection .is riot quelled then the president wiU probably direct the- enlistment of . the volunteers then in the Islands. 'Hf -.vl..--: "" The onlypresent intention of tho-gov-ernment regarding the volunteers is to establish a rural constabulary in Cuba and Porto Rico and perhaps the Phil ippines. The scheme is working in Por to Rico and Cuba, but there seems some doubt about the advisability of like ac tion in the Philippines yet awhile.
