t'onaul (Jeneral Lee's testimony
before the Senate r Committee con
tained some interesting statements.
which had not previouly been made
public, one of which wa in reference
to the Weyler cablegram to hi fe
male friend and another person in
Havana requesting them to destroy
letters which he had written them
tome time before. This General Le
thought confirmatory evidence of th
genuineness of the letter alleged to
have been written by Weyler before
the explosion of the Maine, in which
he stated that something startling
would Kn occur in Havana harbor
Weyler denied the genuineness of
this letter. He had also denied that
there were any mines or torpedoes in
!!avna hrbor, but an ex-Minister
of War says that several of the bar
bors of Cuba were protected by tor-
peaioes. 190 of which had been sent
In charge of a torpedo expert, who
had undertaken the work of laying
them. Supplementing other testi
mony the statement of (reneral
Lc leave little doubt that the de
struction of the Maine wa the work
of Spaniard. Another interesting
statement is concerning the food
sapplie on the island, a showing
how easy it would be starve Havana,
and bring the Spaniards to terms
ithout firing a gun. The Spanish
army on the island, however loyal it
may be, is not in much of a fighting
mood, for soldiers who have not
been paid in nine months, and bare
been but poorly cared for, cannot bo
very enthusiastic for a government
which so discriminated between thorn
and the officer, who were paid up
to four month ago. As far aa the
Spanish power in Cubai concerned,
if this) frovemment become inrolred
with it, it i nothing but a shell.
Another interesting and significant
statement is that the Spanish in
habitant "are a da not hostile
to the United States." As the
chaotic condition of the island must
be aa embarraaaiflg to them a it is
to others who have interests there
they would in all probability prefer
any jruanmteed, stable government
to that of Spain which exacts
loyalty without the ability to gire
order or protection in return.

national interest ha been sacrificed to
the supposed intereat of the
Republican party. Of the million-
and a half DemocraU who in 1896
voted for Mr. McKinley to save the
national credit, not a beggarly bun
dred thousand, the linea bein-drawn
aain. would vote for him asrain. If
thing go on as the have been going
on. tt ia onlr a aueation of time when
the e i tr m ism of the Republican party
will swing toe pendulum over to lne

and official loot alone the stake at

will sweep the country."
Omitting the low estimate that
Mr. Watteraon put on the motives
of the "extremist." a ho calls
them, he voice the intense disgust
of the "million-and-a-half Demo
craU" who voted for Mr. McKinley.
Probably tho apprehension that what
i predicted in the conclusion may
account for the hustle the Republi

eleventh honr and the disposition
they how to rush up to the front
and show some interest in Cuba.

of paralysis Wednesday, April 9th.
About two years ago he had a stroke
which paralysed one side, but he had
partly regained his strength so that ho

while out looking after some work, he
had a second stroke at 10 o'clock and
had to be carried to his home. He died

Dunn Union: Mrs. Patience
Winifred Phillips, relict of the late
Nathan L. Phillips, departed this life
last Friday night at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Zachary Taylor, in
Cumberland, about a mile and a half
from town. Mrs. Phillips had lived
to a good old age, being 71 years and
four months old. Some of our
farmers inform us that the cold and
frosts of last week did not seriously
damage the fruit crop. All the beans
that were up in this community were
killed, and some few ar planting
seed again.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth:
The heavy frosts last week did some
damage here, and more where truck
had advaaced more than in this com
munity. Somo persons hare said,
however, that the peaches were not
killed. Several Mormons have
been making themselves frequent by
twos in this region recently. Last wceic
two of tliem spent several days in this
community. They would go out into
the country somewhere at night and
then return and spend part of the day
in town. They made a thorough can
vass of the town. At every place they
would set their grips down at the gate
and go to the front door together,
knock and offer literature. They asked
Mayor Perry the privilege to preach
ou the streets, but he prom ptly ref u sed
them. They rather insisted that he had
no right to prohibit them, but he re
plied to them that if they tried it he
would have them in the town prison
in short order. Finally they left in
structions at the postoffice for their
mail to be forwarded to Spring Hill.
Thev are doubtless infesting that com

The Spaniards are making

Spain does everything too
late. Mariana has been her ruin.
Autonomy granted in time would
have contented the insurgents, re
lief of reconcentrados, done before
the Maine was blown up, would have
disarmed the United States, and sus
pension of hostilities, at an earlier
stage, would have stopped the war
and prevented intervention. Spain
has done all these things too fate.
She has still greater concessions to
make, for which there is yet time.
To delay them like tho others beyond
the hour of grace, will be her ruin.

SANDSTORM IN THE DESERT.
As Has X Saffboatlnt; and the Sand Oats
th Skla XJks Knives.
Mr. R. Talbot Kelly writes and Il
lustrates an article entitled "My
Bedouin Friends" for The Century.
Mr. Kelly says of the dreaded sand
storm: The air is hot and sulphurous,
while the sun becomes lurid and
sickly in its glare. At first the hot
wind comes in 'slight puffs, like
breaths from a kiln, but each mo
ment it increases in velocity, carry
ing with it more and more fine drift
sand, which, blinding the eyes and
choking the 1urh, gradually pro
dnoes a most disneseing feeling of
depression and suffocation. By de
grees, as the storm gains strength,
little splinters of rock and small
pebbles are lifted up and hurled at
one like hailstones, cutting the skin
like knives, until eyes and ears are
full of blood, unless one has been
able to protect himself against the
blast. The native cufia, or silk
Bcarf, wrapped round the head and
face and leaving only the eyes ex
posed, is the most effective protec
tion, but the heat is suffocating and
quickly reduces one to impotence
As the storm continues perhaps for
several days, the sun becomes totally
obscured, while the ever moving
sand gradually assumes the appear
ance of billows, threatening to over
whelm everything. Nothing can be
distinctly seen above or around, and
the moving sand drifts, splashing
and breaking like surf upon rocks,
are slowly but surely enveloping
everything in camp and piling up
tons of drift against tents and bag
gage Camp equipage is hastily packed
and loaded upon the terror stricken
animals, and the party starts to ride
obliquely through the storm toward
the nearest high ground or moun
tain spur. To remain still means
to be covered and entombed. Even
should water skins not be cracked
or dried up, in any attempts to
drink the sufferer absorbs as much
dust as water, and hie plight is
worse than before. Eating is out of
the question ; smoking is equally
impossible. Forty-eight hours have
I ridden in such circumstances,
changing horses from time to time
as they became too much distressed
for further use and until I had
hardly power to mount. After such
a ride as this it may well be imag
ined how we relished our first halt
in the shelter of a friendly hill and
enjoyed the luxury of a dish of sour
milk and, above all, a smoke.
Fortunately the khamsin, though
supposed to last for 50 days, is in
termittent in its energy, three days'
blow being usually followed by a
few fine days, and, as a rule, its vio-,
lence is not sufficient to be a source
of danger. As showing the velocity
of wind sometimes attained, I re
member seeing in the Delta a palm
tree, probably 60 feet in height,
bent over by the wind until its crest
swept tho ground and excavated a
large hole in the couree of the day.
Besides the khamsin, there are other
forms of sandstorm which, though
of shorter duration, come with a
suddenness and vehemence that al
most defy protection. The most
curious of these is perhaps what is
locally called "a devil," a sudden
gust of wind eddying down the
mountain gorges and bursting on
the desert like a whirlwind, carry
ing pillars of sand with it.
Another curious phase of "the
sandstorm is one that I experienced
in the Libyan desert- The weather
was perfectly fine, and I was work
ing comfortably at my picture when
suddenly I noticed in the horizon
what appeared to be a cloud, black
in its upper region and orange be
low. Before I had time to realize
what was happening a blast of cold
wind whirled away picture and easel
and enveloped me in dust and flying
pebbles. A moment later dust had
turned to dropping mud, which in
turn gave place to torrential rain,
drenching me to the skin and effec
tually washing the sand out of my
system. After that were peace and
genial sunshine once more.
Color Photography.
One of the most interesting ex
periments in photography is the
photographic reproduction of a
green leaf in its natural colors. To
do this take a copper plate such as
is used for process work and have
it silvered. Put it face up in a de
veloping or toning tray and on it
place the green leaf of which a copy
is desired. To hold the leaf in posi
tion lay over it a piece of glass. A
spoiled negative not larger than 4
by 5 inches, unless the leaf is quite
large, may be used forthis purpose.
Turn over the plate a solution of
hydriodate of potash containing a
few grains of iodide to each ounce
of solution. Cover the plate com
pletely, so that it is at least half an
inch beneath the surface of the
liquid. Set the tray in the bright
sunshine and leave it exposed for
about half an hour, when, on re
moving from the tray, a most beau
tiful photographic impression of the
green leaf will be found on the
plate. Harper's Round Table.

The Meeting Place.
"Some time ago, " says the Water
bury American, "two young wom
en, working girls, went to a house
in this city to engage room and
board. . After talking with the lady
of the house for some time the elder
girl asked:
" 'Do you allow us to use the par
lor?' " 'Certainly not, ' was the reply.
'My daughters use that themselves. '
" 'But,' said the girl, 'I am en
gaged to be married. The gentle
man does not live in town, but calls
occasionally, and both my sister and
myself have friends, men and wom
en, who call on us sometimes.
Where can we receive them?'
"The reply was, 'On the street 1' "

"Do you not think, Miss Smiles," he
pleaded, "that in time you might learn to
love mef"
"Possibly," tho girl replied. "If you
could render me a statement of what you
are worth, Mr. Giles, I might learn to love
you. I'm very quick at figures. " Loudon

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, April 15 There was
quite a spurt of old-time activity in the
cotton market to-day, with trading
more evenly divided between foreign,
Southern and Western houses than in
sometime. From the start the bull
crowd had the upper hand and prices
steadily improved throughout the ses
sion. On the opening: call the feeling
was firm with prices 4 to 5 points high
er, chiefly to unlooked for favorable
Liverpool cables. The feature of the
forenoon operations was the active
covering by operators who recently
have figured conspicuously as se Hers.
The close was very steady at a net
gain of five to seven points.
