Tb exciting mnU of yesterday hT not modified tha tmwi of tha St a a on the aeition of war be- twen th United State and Spain. Conceding (what U not certain) that Spain will peremptorily refu ta withdraw her land and naral forcea from Caba if raqaaatad to do o by thi government the fint ho tUe movemeAt by the United State will be a naval demonstration before Havana. Then will come the ta preene tMt. If Spain means to fight she will do it "then and there. Bat the StaK rrrilv believes that the United States fleet can blockade the port, or take the city, without firing a shot. This wQl be followed by a settlement of the whole ques tion. th evacuation of tha Island by the Spanish troops, and the inaaga- ration of a new government, result ing ultimately in the independence of Caba. Ttua settlement may be made bv the United State aod Spain, or it may b effected through arbitration by some of the Kunpan Powers. Spain can make no rral fight at Havana, and if she make even a show of rrijtance there it will be of the sort that a passenger on a rail mea train make when he permits the conductor to take him grntly by the arm and accompany him to the steps of the car. It nnt not fx' inferred that the Sra is opposed to wr when neces sary. As we have said before, war i preferable to national degrada tion, tie do think, however, that if wr re to fiiht Spain the destruc tion of the V-ii and the atrocious manUr of her crew by Spanish aa- oins should be made our justifica tion. A paragraph is goin the rounds of the papers about a Teunessee man. who accidentally shot and killi a do?, and then shot and killed the dot' owner in explain ing how he accidentally killed the do;. nd then shot and killed the comntr in explaining how he acci dentally killed the man.

Lieut. Totten insists that the world U coming to an end nett March. When the Spaniards !nro this perhaps they may con clude it isn't worth while for them to become excited and rush into war.

THE KILLING OF LOFTIN. Jsry Find Tkat It Was the Work of Some Unknown Person The Last of the Testimony Taken Yesterday. Yesterday afternoon at 5.10 o clock officer W. D. George, wjo was placed in jail on Tuesday night' between ten and eleven o'clock, was discharged from custody, the verdict of the cor oner's jury which has beeu sitting for three days being That the deceased Richard Loftin came to his death from a gunshot wound m the hands or some person or persons unknown to the jury. . rt. K. blocarno (foreman), Jonn Mask. M. D.. S. J. Davis, Chas. Stew art. Joseph Scarborough, John D. Franklin. Ail of the jurors except Messr. Slo- cumb and Davis arc colored. As soon as the verdict was rendered. Coroner Jacobs hastened to tell the prisoner, who was promptly released. The lest of the testimony was in by IS. .TO o'clock yesterday, when an ad journment for dinner was taken. At 2 o'clock the jurv re-assembled. The bullet which produced the death of Richard Ixftin was exhibited. It was of 3$ calibre and fitted perfectly the empty shell in officer George's pistol. but as it might have come from some other pistol it didn't affect officer Georjre s chances very materially. The jury deliberated upon the verdict un til after Ave o'clock. The Testimony Yesterday. The jurv assembled at 9 o clock to hear the remainder of the testimony. Robert Moses, colored, testified to seeing the dead man when his head was lying toward the shoe shop with his feet in the direction of St. Stephen's Church, the face being down. The testimony of Charles Howard, colored, was to the effect that he lo cated one of the pistol shots as hav ing been fired near the middle of the intersection of Fifth and Red Cross streets. He testified further: I saw the flash from the pistol and the man who held it turned and ran up lied Cross street towards the hobby horses, lie was running in the street and not on the sidewalk. As soon as the pistol fired I saw a man fall. The man who fell was about eighteen feet from the man who shot, and the man who fell was standing a little to the left of a straight line from me to the shoe shop and between the intersect- in? point of Fifth and Red Cross and the shoe shop. The testimony of Paul L. Taylor, colored, was about on a line with that submitted by a good many others. He testified to hearing a rock strike the shoe shop and also to hearing a pistol fire twice somewhere near the shop. Further, the witness swore to the bad language and boisterous be havior of the crowd. The leading points of the testimony of Ed. Smith, colored, was as follows: Policeman George told the women ho were quarreling to consider themselves arrested. Some one took hold of the girl and pulled her from the police. George struck some one with his club, and then a rock was thrown at the policeman. As the policeman with Lis prisoner started down Red Cross street, there were mea of iai a rock mm. ueonre said if the crowd did not go back, he would shoot some one. The flash of the pistol showed that it was about where Geonre was. When Officer Geortre was told that he had killed a man, he said that he did not give a d n; that he done it in lf-defence. Ue also told Ufflcer Toomer that he had killed the man in self defence. THAT MAY FESTIVAL Masacer Atklason's Company Will Not Be Broarht Here by the Musical Association Their Plans. It is definitely settled that the May Festival Company, which was to have visited this city under the auspices of the Wilmington Musical Association, will not come. And the Association now has in contemplation a May Festival in which members of the Association will be the principal parti cipants. The trouble between the Association and Manager Atkinson, of the May Festival Company, was that they could not agree upon dates. Mr. Atkinson said that his company could only come May 20th and 21st, and these dates were not agreeable. The present plan of the Association is to introduce possibly a limited number of specialists and depend principally upon the local talent They propose to render the stabat mater chorus and a number of other full choruses, be sides introducing some of their best in strumental talent More definite ac tion will doubtless be taken at the Monday night rehearsal.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Clerk of Court Will Make Appointments to Places Now Filled by Members of the Board of Education. - The decision of the N. C. Supreme Court that the same man cannot be at the same time a member of the Board of Commissioners and of the Board of Education has so far not been put into practical effect in this county. The double officeholders have not surren dered the office of county commis sioner, though one of them has ad mitted that he sees nothing else to do. It seems to be understood that it is the office of commissioner, the first one taken, that is to be vacated. , If the double officeholders refuse to' abdicate, two courses will be open. First, any voter and tax payer can bring suit in the name of the. attorney general to have the office declared va cant, it being necessary to bring a sep arate suit against each commissioner holding the two offices. Second, the Clerk of the Superior Court can make appointments to the offices made va cant by accepting the second. This done, the appointees cau take charge, if permitted to do so, and if not, th'y can bring suit for the offices. This will be the course adopted in this county. Col. Jno. D. Taylor, the Clerk of the Court, is waiting to see a certified copy of the decision, upon the receipt of which he will make the appointments as recommended by the Democratic Executive Committee.
