THE LIGHT INFANTRY; Squad Number Two Entertain Guests Last Night At The Armory. THEIR COMPETITIVE DRILL Saaad Naraber Three Accepted the Chal. leare The Boys Sparing No Efforts to Perfect Themselves for Active Service. Last night afte drill at the armory of the Wilmington Light Infantry there was a delightful social meeting of squad No. S and a number of invited guests officers of the W. L. I. and press representatives. The company gathered in the back parlor where a huge freezer of deli cious ice cream and a variety of cakes awaited them. An enjoyable half hour was spent in partaking of re freshments and merry conversation. Then excellent cigars, 'Cubau Blos som" were passed around and a num ber of gentlemen called upon for re sponses which were happily made Capt. J. W. St. John congratulated the boys upon the impetus they were giving to Light Infantry circles, espe cially by their recent challenge for a competative drill. Capt. D. MacRae also responded at length and quite in terestingly. He told the boys that in case of active service, it was very pro bable that the regular military organi sations would be largely drawn upon for officers to drill raw recruits and it was of especial importance that no pains should be spared in perfecting themselves in the tactics. First Sergeant G. A. Card we 11 made a liappv response, as did also rirst Lieutenant C. II. White. Each of the speakers expressed the warmest feel ings for the highest success of the W L. I., and especially of squad No. 2 and appreciation for the entertainment of the evening. 5 Uunng the evening it was an nounced that the squad's recent chal lenge for a competitive drill, as pub- lishd in the Star, had been accepted by squad No. 3. However, no date has vet been fixed for the drill. It is probable that almost daily squad prac tice drills will be held until the com petitive one is "pulled off." The following gentlemen comprise squad No. 2: Corporal R. 8. Fowler, and privates Richard Bradley, Eugene Forshee, Clayton Giles, Jr., Robt. Nash. II. W. Turrentine, E. P. W lard and T. II. WrighC Squad No. 3 comprises Corporal T. W. Davis and privates J. C. Angel, S. M. Boatwright, C. McD. Davis, G. 1 . James, (). A. Wiggins, Jr., II. G. Whitney and Eugene Wood ward. Participants at last evening's event. other than members of squad No. 2, were Capt. J. W. St John, Capt. D. MacRae, First Lieutenant C. H. White, Second Lieutenant R. II. Cowan, First Sergeant T. A. Card well. Commissary Sergeant J. S. Hooper and press repre senta Lives. The boys say that it is neit in order for squad No. 3 to "go and do like wise" on next Tuesday night. How ever, it will be hard for them to eclipse Uie No. 2 squad's "function." No Reflect ioa Intended. The Star is informed by Mr. Maxcy L. John, of Laurinburg, that Mr. Oliver H. Dockery, Jr.. feels hurt by the possible construction of the recent interview given a Star reporter by him (Mr. John) with reference to the Evans case. It is only necessary to state that during the interview Mr. John repeatedly stated that he did not believe the unsworn statement of the negroes in regard to Mr. Dockerys having undertaken to suppress testi mony; but in fact only waited to hear Mr. Dockery s denial of it And it was far from the intention of the Star's reporter, in preparing the article, to in the least reflect upon Mr. Dockery- Mr. John certainly said nothing to implicate his brother attorney. It has already been announced in the Star that a sworn statement from Mr. Dockery, denying the charges made by the negroes, had been sent to the Governor. t The St Andrews Revival The revival services at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church are growing in interest with each service. The noon service in the l . at. U. A. lecture room yesterday was attended by a large company of both ladies and gen tlemen. Mr. Gales delivered an earnest and instructive talk. Last night the evangelist was greeted by a large crowd and another enjoyable and effective service was the result There will be the usual services to-day and to-night which the public is urged to attend. Straare Craft Passes Carolina Beach. The contractor and carpenters at work on Sedgeley Hall on Carolina Beach yesterday reported seeing a strange looking craft from the beach about two miles from the shore bound South. From the description given she was evidently a torpedo boat She was flying no flag. Colonial Dames' Readier. Circle. There was an enjoyable semi-month ly meeting of the Reading Circle of the Colonial Dames in their apartments at the 8eaboard Air Line building last night The usual literary and social features characterised the programme. The circle ia constantly growing in interest and ia proving of great profit and pleasure for the members. U THE KING'S DAUGHTERS. Preparations for Opening the "Shelter of the Silver Cross" State Conven tion to Meet Here in May. The Ministering Circle- of The King's Daughters , will hold a meet ing this afternoon at 4 o'clock, at which time it is important that all applications for the position -of matron for the "Shelter of the Silver Cross" for the approaching season be presented. However, the election of a matron will not be held until Wed nesday of next week. It has been reported that the build ing at the Beach now used for the Shelter was to be sold. This will not be done ; it will be opened as usual for the reception of poor children about July 1st, and everything possible will be done to provide the little people a thoroughly comfortable summer's outing. The united circles of the King's Daughters will very soon begin pre parations for the entertainment of the State Convention of King's Daughters which, as has already been announced by the Star, will convene here late in May. Possibly the most distinguished visitor expected to be in attendance is Mrs. Isabella Charles Davis, of the Central Circle, King's Daughters, of New York. Reports from the several committees canvassing for new memberships to the Wilmington Library Association are not to be submitted to a general meet ing of the Ministering Circle until next Wednesday. It will be remembered that the ladies of the circle have been granted a liberal commission by the Library Association for se curing annual memDersnips. ine splendid cause to which a goodly por tion of the receipts is to be dedicated, the low rate of Library membership and the very great advantages afford ed by access to the rich treasures stored away in the large library abundantly merit a liberal response on the part of the people to the special offer of the Association and appeal of the Min istering Circle. MORRILL OFF FOR NORFOLK. Revenue Cotter Left Wilmington Yester day at noon. Crowds of People on the Wharves to Bid Her Good by Crowds of people watched the Afor- rill leave her wharf yesterday at noon and steam down the river on her way to the Norfolk navy yard to be put in fighting trim. As soon as it became known that the Morrill was to leave at twelve o clock, numbers of peo ple crowded down to her wharf. The movements of the officers and crew were marked by a good deal of excitement, as was natural from the fact of the cutter's leaving under cir cumstances so different from those un der which she usually takes leave. The new recruits, of whom only one was added yesterday a white man named Robinson who shipped as a coal-passer were looking the least bit ill at ease, but they put on a bold front and made themselves useful as best they could. There was something of a damper, however, on the patriotic feelings of the crew and spectators, emenating from the impression that Uncle Sam was bent on preventing a- fight even almost at the sacrifice of the national self-respect Just after the ship's bell had sounded 12 o'clock, all the lines were hauled in and the cutter turned around preparatory to going down the river. She backed a few lengths and got a good start. As she got opposite the wharf again she fired a salute to which the citizens on the wharves re plied by waving their hats', while all the steam craft echoed a hearty re sponse from numerous whistles. The Morrill will finish out her com plement of sixty men at Norfolk. Second Lieutenant and ordnance of ficer Colin S. Craig did not join the cutter here as was expected. He will catch her at Norfolk. HOOK AND LADDER STATION. Visitors Welcomed Yesterday and To day Decorations and Other Preparations. Yesterday and to-day are visitors' days at the hook and ladder station on Dock street and the apartments and apparatus are "spick and span," as they are every day for that matter; but there is an extra touch of decora tions and the boys are wearing 'their company colors white and blue. Na tional flags are tastefully draped and flowers add much beauty to the station equipment. For the benefit of visitors exhibitions of hitching, etc., are given. The boys make a record of not more than nine seconds in getting ready for leaving the station. An allotment of duties has been made by which Assistant Chief Mon roe is superintendent; Jno. Wanna maker, superintendent of the sleeping apartments; W. H. Hancammon, bur nisher of brass work ; H. L. Kidd has charge of the horses; T. M. Trent, harness and- decorations, and H. Maultsby and substitute Q. Smith, the hook and ladder truck. Ladies are especially invited to visit the station any time to-day and BOO the equipment and witness drills by the horses and men. To City Subscribers. City subscribers are earnestly re quested to report promptly at the Stab office every failure of the carriers to deliver their papers. In all such cases steps will be taken to insure prompt and regular delivery. ' - AT FORT CASWELL. Work on the Fortifications An Inspect in OfficerA Detail Ordered to the Seventh Artillery. The Clyde steamship Oneida which arrived here yesterday from New York had on board fifteen hundred barrels of cement for t$e in construct ing the new fortifications at Caswell. Twenty stevedores of this city were taken down to help unload it. The government tug Jas. D. Easton yes terday carried down twenty or thirty additional laborers. Stone for the new fort continues to come in over the At lantic Coast Line from the Stewart rock quarry, Columbia, S. C. One car load has arrived over the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad. Inspector Arrives. Capt Wm. P. Duvall, formerly of Battery G, Fifth Regiment, U. S. Ar tillery, Fort Monroe, Va. , arrived yes terday and went down to Caswell on the Jas. D. Easton to inspect the forti fications. He is inspecting all the new forts. Soldiers for Fort Slocumb. The steamer Wilmington yesterday brought up from Caswell a detach ment of seven soldiers ordered from Fort Caswell to join the Seventh Regi ment of Artillery at Fort Slocumb, near New York city. The Seventh is one of the two new regiments, arid the boys from Battery I, of the Se cond, who join it, will naturally fall into drill inspectors' and non-commissioned officers' places. Those in the party were Sergeant Herbert A. Johnson, in command, and Privates D. J. Padon, Walter J. Pearce, Eugene J. Jolley, Wm. H. Robertson, Alonzo Parker, and Jas. R. Kennedy. The orders were published Monday night and the soldiers left Caswell at 2 P. M. on the steamer Wilmington. They were not sorry to leave, as the fort was not altogether as pleasant and lively a place as they liked. They left over the Atlantic Coast Line at 7.15 o'clock last night. Still Under Guard. Sergeant Tscherning of Battery H, of the Fourth Regiment, is still under guard at Fort Caswell. It is not be lieved that he is guilty of the serious charges made against him. Railroad Lease Fight Ended. Directors of the N. C. Carolina Railroad met here to-night and passed a resolution providing for a cessation of the fight against the 99-year lease ; the Southern to pay thirty-five hun dred dollars costs to the N. C. R. R. Co., and. all other expenses incurred in the lease fight suit, including special master's fees and court costs, which amount to about eight thousand dol lars. It is provided, also, that all testimony and papers in the suit, of every description, go to the U. S. Cir- cdit Court without argument and without appeal1and that the Legisla ture be free to take such steps as it deems wise. John Graham, the only Populist member of the board, intro duced the resolution and it passed unanimously. Under Secret Orders. Messrs. Richard S. Palmer and B. Colford, the representatives of the United States government who ar rived here Monday, left last night for Savannah. They were under secret orders, but there seems to be no doubt but that their business was merely to look after the establishment of sig na stations. That these would be establish ed has already been forecasted in the Star. Messrs. Palmer and Colford with Commander Geo. L. Morton took a trip to Southport yesterday on the Wilmington. They consulted a set of plans frequently. Signal stations will probably be established at Cape Fear, Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookont. SPAIN'S PROPOSITION. With the Cheek of an Army Mule Spain Strikes a Responsive Chord in Mckinley's Heart The following is the proposition made by Spain, and the favorable con sideration of which by our weak-kneed President has disgusted all true Ameri cans: Soain to aeree to give every assist ance to the United States in the dis tribution of the sunnlies nrovided bv the American people for the starving people in Cuba. Soain to further agree to release the people now penned up in the fortified towns, allowing them to go out in the fields and till the ground. Owing to her own inability to provide material sustenance, Spain to accept, in behalf of the Cubans, such agricultural im plements, seeds, &c., as the United States might provide. And, lastly, Spain to cease military one rations on the island, and in view of opposing no resistance to the hu manitarian mienerence proposeu vy the United States, to agree to an armistice from now until the 1st of next October, during which time the nresent or modified form of self-gov ernment shall have a fair trial by the Cuban oeoole. This autonomy to be of the freest possible character includ ing the collection of taxes, a local legislature, and local officers. Two things only will be asked by Spain first that she still annoint the Captain General for the island and be allowed to fly her flag. The full operations of autonomy to begin with the assem bling of the Cuban Congress in May, following the elections on April ztn next. posed by Minister Woodford for Spain and the one which the President con siders of sufficient fairness to be most favorably considered, although it has not yet been formally accepted. Mr. George A. Hanes, a popu lar "knight of the grip" who travels from Winston,', arrived in the city yesterday and is waiting on his trade.
