fijPLIN DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
Over Three Thousand People Present
Chas. R. Thomas and W. R.
Allen Speak.
Special Star Correspondence.
Kenansville, N. 0., Aug. 3.
Yesterday Was a big day for Democ
racy in Duplin county. It had been
advertised throughout the county that
-tbe campaign would be opened by a
big Democratic rally, and the people
came in great numbers. When Hon.
Chas. R. Thomas, arose to address the
crowd fully three thousand faces met
his gaze, and he made one of the
ablest- Democratic speeches that has
been delivered in Duplin county in
many years. He impressed upon his
hearers the importance of maintain
ing the supremacy of the white men
and white metal, and discussed ably
the national issues in the coming
campaign. . f
He was followed by ex-Judge 'W.
R. Allen, of Goldsboro, who discussed
chiefly State issues and exposed the
extravagance of the last Legislature
and the scandals of the present Re
publican administration. He showed
that the Republicans in Duplin county
could and do dictate the officers that
the Populists nominate and no Popu
list could go to the Legislature who
did not have the stamp pf Abe Middle
ton on him. Not a word was said that
would offend anybody, and the speak
ing was a great success and did good.
After the speaking was over the
county candidates came forward and
announced themselves in a few mo
ments' talk!'
However,! this was not the end, but
KraulTKoonce, of Onslow, and R. G.
Xoxwell, of this county, were called
outby a few. white people and a large
crowd of negroes and indulged in
amusing the crowd tor some time,
which was greeted by much negro
applause. - .;
The Democracy is in fine shape in
Duplin.

CONCLUSION
ON PEACE TERMS.
Spaing Reply Either a Counter
Proposition or a Request
for Explanation.
PRESIDENT AND M. CAMBON.
Unable to Reach a Conclusion After an
Hour's Conference Military Opera
tions to Continue Gen . Ward's
Troops Go to Porto Rico.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, Aug. 3. After a
conference on the peace question last
ing for just one hour this afternoon,
between the President and M. Cam
bon, the French ambassador the
latter acting as the representative of
Spain Secretary Day emerged from
the White House and announced that
to-day's conference was not conclu
sive, wherefore the parties had agreed
to say nothing publicly as to what
occurred. The seeretary did not ap
pear to be discouraged, as he made
this statement, though he admitted
that no time had been set for another
conference. From this it is gathered
that the long-expected answer of the
Spanish government to the Presi
dent's fnote, upon being received had
turned out to be just as was expected,
either a counter-proposition pr a
request for a fuller statement
in detail upon some of the
heads of the President's note. Up to
the middle of the afternoon it was
stated by all parties concerned that
the Spanish answer had not been re
ceived; that the only formal note that
had come ta hand was one from the
Madrid cabinet to M. Cambon, asking
for information upon some points that
were not clear to the Spanish mind.
However, just after 3 o'clock the sec
retary of the French embassy, M.
Thiebaut, called at the State Depart
ment and arranged with Secretary
Day for a meeting between the Presi
dent and the French ambassador. The
meeting was for 3.45 o'clock, and
Secretary Day was at the White
House in season,' but wasobliged to
wait about ten minutes for the French
ambassador. As already stated, after
conferring for an hour, the parties
separated, having been
Unable to Reach a Conclusion"
as to the acceptance by Spain of the
feace conditions laid down by the
'resident, and binding themselves to
the observance of the strictest secrecy
as to the proceedings until further pro
gress had been made. Thus, it is prac
tically assured in advance that any
attempt to state what occurred at to
day's meetings at the White House
will be nothing more than pure guess
work. Meanwhile, in consonance
with the declared purpose of the Presi
dent at the beginning of the overtures,
this conference is not operating to re
strain military operations in any de
gree. Orders went out to-day for
a conference of leaders of the regiments
to accompany General Wade to Porto
Rico and within twenty-four hours
some of the troops of this expedition
will be boarding the transport at New
port News. It is felt that should an ar
mistice be declared before these troops
see active service at the front, it will
be beneficial for them to have made
the trip. Profiting by its .last expe
. rience.
Gen. Wade's Expedition
is going to be the most complete in
details of any that have left our shores
and the soldiers will be protected in
their health and comfort to the utmost
degree. Secretary Alger has himself
conducted an inquiry into the condi
tions that led up the fearful experi
ence of the wounded soldiers who re
turned to the United States on the
Concho and he has taken the neces
sary steps to prevent a repetition of
the bad management exhibited in that
; case. Thus (here may be some delay in
getting the troops away with General
: Wade in view of the determination to
have everything shipshape before the
men are on board, and the transporta-
I lion department was taken somewhat
by surprise by this suddenly announc
ed decision of the Secretary of War.
To start this expedition some days must
elapse before the necessary transports
can be gathered" at the ports of trans
portation. . ,
The Sick at Santiago.
Sliafter's daily health report failed
to show any Improvement in health
conditions of the Fifth Army Corps,
so that it is a matter of congratulation
that the War Department was able to
announce to-day that it had ordered
five of the cavalry regiments of that
corps, to be embarked at once for the
new camp at MontauK roint, Liong
Island. .
Gen. Shafter has sent the following
sanitary report for August 1: Total
sick, 4,239; total lever cases, 3,17;
new cases of fever, 689; cases of fever
returned to duty, 679; deaths on Aug
1st, 15.
All the troons of cavalrv with Shaf
ter's army and the eight companies of
Roosevelt s Kough Kiders nave been
ordered to proceed to Montauk Point,
L. Li for encampment. Gen. Shafter
has been directed to use all the trans
port facilities he can command to
send the troops North as rapidly as
possible. The regular cavalry witn
Shafter comprises eight companies
each of the First, Third, Sixth, Ninth
and Tenth cavalrv. all dismounted,
and four mounted troops of the Second
cavalry.
The Philippines Question.
An interesting question and one of
vital importance to the administration
is tae attitude to oe assumea oy me
United States towards the Philippine
insurgents in the event that we reach
an agreement ior tne suspension oi
hostilities with Spain. It is stipulated
in our peace terms that the United
States military forces shall occupy and
establish a military form of govern
ment over the city of Manila and the
bay with the surrounding territory.
This involves an1 immediate surrender
of the Spanish forces, not to Aguinaldo,
but to Gen. Merritt, and there is some ap
prehension thait the insurgents will re
sent this very bitterly and that it would
be necessary to expel them forcibly
from the territory described. Beyond
this, it is said in some quarters that
pending the decision of the peace com
missioners as to the future of the Phil
ippines, the United States will be mor
ally bound to maintain the status quo
in the islands at large. In other words,
having deprived Spain of the means
of resisting the onslaughts of the in
surgents, it has been urged that the
United States would be bound to pre
vent the latter from continuing their
warfare. There is a lack of informa
tion in Washington on many impor
tant pointsSs to the conditions in the j
Philinninps. For instance, it is not!
known, even approximately, uu ex
tensive the revolutionary movement
has been throughout the vast group
of 1,200 islands and among the large
population, estimated to aggregate be
tween 8,000,000 and 15,000,000. If the
revolutionary movement is general
and extends to very many of the
islands, the task presented to the
United States military and naval
authorities will be one of great mag
nitude, in the event that it is decided
to be incumbent upon us, not to re-
store Spanish sovereignty where it
has been lost, but to prevent its overthrow-in
sections where it is still
supreme, and to prevent excesses and
outrages at the hands of the insur
gents. 4 .
On the assumption that peace is near
at hand some attention is being given
to the steps by which this may be
brought about formally and the mea
sures necessary to be adopted immedi
ately afterwards. It is said to be not
at all improbable that the prelimi
naries leading up to the signature of
the peace treaty may occupy fully
three months, so that it may be along
towards the date of the assem
bly of Congress before the Presi
dent will be prepared to sub
mit a peace treaty to the Senate.
This allowance of time is rather mod
erate than excessive. We were two
years from 1781 to 1783 in arrang
ing a peace treaty, with Great Britain
to terminate the Revolutionary War.
In the case of the Chinese-Japanese
war it was several months before the
commissioners were able to perfect
the treaty of Bhimonsaki which ter
minated that war. It does not follow
from this that an actual state of war"
will prevail during this interval of
three months, for as a matter of fact
hostilities will terminate within a
very few days after Spain has notified
the United States government of her
acceptance of the terms laid down
in the President's, note of last
Saturday. The military establish
ment, however, must be maintained
during the time and many acts per
formed that are incident to actual war
fare. It is expected that the Spanish
pledge to accept the broad conditions
aid down Zby the United States will
take the form of a written agree
ment. The negotiations have not
progressed sufficiently to indicate who
shall be the parties to this agreement,
or rather who shall represent the prin
cipals, the United States and Spain.
It is possible that it may be signed in
Washington, as between Secretary
Day and M. Cambon. On the other
hand the ambassadors of Spain and
the United States in one of the Euro
pean countries, probably in this case
France, might meet and by the author
ization or their respective govern
ments sign this agreement. The
protocol, if it may be socalled, in
either case, would not take the place
in any manner of the treaty of peace
which would "be drawn up later by
commissioners to be appointed for this
purpose.
Under the terms of the President's
note if they shall be accepted by Spain,
tne opanisn government is bound to
evacuate Cuba and Porto Rico imme
diately. This action is not to wait
upon the work of the peace commis
sioners, but is to precede it, and to
follow immediately upon the signature
of the memorandum accepting the
President's conditions. The word "im
mediately" in this case is perhaps a
little deceptive. The experience of the
War Department in the endeavor to
remove to Spain the Spanish troops
surrendered at Santiago has not justi
fied the expectation that the large
force of Spanish regulars can be
gathered up and shipped home to Spain
in less than about sixty days at best.
This estimate is based on the fact that
it is not expected by the Spanish
authorities who are directing the
movements of the Spanish troop trans
ports that they will be able to return
all of the Santiago prisoners to Spain
before the hrst of September. There
fore, what is meant by the word "im
mediately", is, that the Spanish gov
ernment shall at least begin the ar
rangements at once for the evacuation
of the island.
On the whole, it is a rather unfor
tunate circumstance that this e vacua
lion cannot take place en masse and
immediately, for it has been determined
that the Spanish troops withdrawn
must be replaced by United States
troops. This is deemed to be absolutely
necessary to guard against anarchy and
and to secure the establishment of a
stable form of government in Cuba
under proper constitutional guaran
tees, but in all probability not many of
them will have to eo there before the
present rainy season has neared its end.

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in
this country. "Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
coulfijiiot sleep, tine nnally discov
ered ft! -ay to recovery, by purchasing
of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was so
much relieved on taking the first dose,
that she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured. Her
name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus
writes W. C. Hamnick & Co., of
Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at R
