PRIZE MONEY,
Clerk Hutchinson will
Receive $275
AS A PREMIUM FROM UN
CLE SAM..
He Was a Yoeman on the Uni
t'-d States Steamship St.
Paul Which Captured a
British Blockade
Ruiiiier.
P. A. Hutchinson, the genial
night clerk at the Clayton House
Wilmington, Delaware,
is a warmer friend of Uncle
Sam's at the present time than
he perhaps has ever been. Love
for his nation's defence caus
ed him to fight under her
flag, and now he is to receive
$275 for his part in the conflict.
On May 4 he enlisted aboard
the United States Steamship St.
Paul, Captain Sigsbee, as yoe
mau, and immediately sa'v ser
vice in Cuban waters. On June
iOth, wiiile off Santiago, the St.
Paul captured the British steam
ship Restarmel, which attempt
ed to run the blockade, and one
week later sunk the Spanish
torpedo boat Terror. From the
sale of the Restarmel, and be-
cause of the destruction of the
torpedo boat, the St. Paul's crew
of fifty two men obtained $13,000
from the government, or about
$275 apiece, the early receipt of
which money has caused Mr
Hutchinson's pleasantness.
Friday morning Mr. Hutchin
son received from the auditor
for the Navy Department, blanks
which he will fill out and for
ward to Washington as soon as
he can obtain the signature of
Ensign Powelson, who is now
recovering from injuries inci
dent to the war in the Episcopal
Hospital, Philadelphia. Mr.
Hutchinson will go to Pbi'aiel-
phia to-morrow.
The award of prize money
was larger than Mr. Hutchinson
expected, and he feels that Un
cle Sam has paid him very well
for his four months' service.
The sooner a cough or cold is cured
without harm to the sufferer the better.
Lingering colds ate dangerous. Hack
ing coughs is distressing. Why suffer
when such a cough cure is within
reach? It is pleasant to the taste.

An Ugly Case.
Barnwell, Nov. 27. On
Thursday, November 24th,
George Owens, a negro employ

them $212,75 belonging to Mr.
Mead, making their way to
Barnwell, the former home of

find the elopers.
A posse was iormed here by
an officer of the peace, which
found the couple to-day about
10 miles from town and brought
them back here, where they are
now safely lodged in the county

Milford, November 26 Philip
Wlllev went out with a help
er to kill his hogs yesterday af
ternoon, little knowing that lie
he would die with the swine.
He had some difficulty iu felling
the first hog and, after a lively
chase brought it down witti a
death blow. As the animal lay
struggling, Willey uttered an
exclamation and droppme the
blood-stained knife, and fell back
ward, dead. Physycians made
an examination and found that
an attack of heart disease, super
induced by the excitement
amone the noisy animals, had
caused his death.

NEGROES TERRORIZE AN.
NSITON.
White Soldiers Shot and a Se
rious Riot Narrowly Averted.
A Birmingham special s .ys:
Two negro soldiers dead, sever
al others wounded, four, white
soldiers injured and two mem'
bers of the provost guard mis
sing resulted from a race riot at
Anniston Thursday night be
tween whites and negroes of. the
Fourth Army Corps.
Soon alter dark Private Gil
dehart, Second Arkansas, while
going from the city, was shot in
the head and stabbed by a ne
gro soldier ot tne Third Ala
bama. Soon afterward a mem
ber of the Fourth Kentucky
was shot by negro soldiers from
amousn. further nring: was
heard, and the provost guard
was sent to quell the disorders.
At the approach ico negro sol
diers opened fire without warn
ing. The guard returned die
fire, but had to return to camp.
Reinforcements were hurried
forward, but the negroes had
fled by that time.
News of the riot provoked in
tense excitement iu camp. A
crowd of citizens and white sol
diers were preparing to march
upon the negro troops, when
General Frank ordered out sev
eral companies of troops and
dispersed the gathering mob.
In the night two negro soldiers
were shct by white citizens and
badly wounded.
A rumor prevailing here Sat
urday says that while the guard
was trying to round up some
disorderly negro soldiers in An
niston just before daylight, about
two dozen negroes were shot.
This story, as yet, lacks confir
mation. Anniston spent the
night in terror, and more troub
le is feared, as the feeling be
tween whites and negro troops
is very bitter.

ALWAYS SICK AT SEA.
Officer of the Navy Tells of His
Experience as a Sailor.
"It is now nearly twenty-sev
en years since I first went to sea
on a man-of-war," said a well
known officer of the United
States navy, o a Washington
Star man, "and I've been get
tiug sea sick right along ever
since. I not only get violently
and helplessly seasick every time
I start off on a cruise, after hav
ing been on shore duty for a
number of years, but I always
get more or less seasick every
time the ship to which I am at
tached weighs anchor and puts
to sea after having been iu port
for ten days or so. Of course, I
don't get quite as sick on these
occasious, in the midst of a
cruise as I do when just starting
out on a cruise after long shore
duty, but I get sick enough. I
don't think I exaggerate when
I say that since I've been in the
navy I have been desperately
seasick at least a hundred times,
and just terribly seasick about a
thousand times. Aud I am not
the only one. I can name you
oft hand twenty high-ranking
officers of our naval outfit who
invariably get seasick when
thev start off on a cruise, and
who never fall afoul of a chop
py sea that they don't long for
some lodge in tne wilderness.
And, by the way, a peculiar
thing connected with the sea
ickness of these officers I speak
of is that they are all huge men.
I'm a pretty big man myself. I
have therefore evolved the idea
based upon a great deal more
liable to seasickness than small
men. I've seen small shipmates
get seasick at the outset of their
cauises, but once they get over
this initial siege of mal de-mer
the small men very rarely suffer
from seasickness for the remain
der of their cruises. I don't
just know how to account for
this, but simply state it as one
of the results of my observations
of seasickness. I've also obser
ved that men with comparative
ly hollow or not well de
veloped chests are practically
immune from seasickness. I
mentioned this to the surgeon
of the last ship to which I was
attached, and he told me that
people who are consumptive, or
who have anything the matter
with their lungs, very rarely
suffer from seasickness. He
told Lme the physiological
reason for this,but I've for
gotten it.
SPAIN ACCEPTS,
CONDITIONS OF PEACE
At the Opening of the
Joint Session Mon
day ;Her Com
missioners at once
Announced the
Acceptance of
Our Terms.
Paris, November 28. The
joint Peace Commissioners met
promptly at 2 o'clock. The
Spanish Commissioners immed
iately announced the acceptance
of the American demand. The
two commissions were in separ
ate session all the morning.
There is no denying that the
whole European continent will
bitterly resent the American
acquisition of the Philippines.
This sentiment is not confined
to diplomats, but here in Paris
that opinion is constantly ex
pressed in the highest French
society.
Paris, November 2S. The
Spanish acceptance was made
verbally, and the written ac
ceptance will be presented later.
The Spanish Commissioners, it
is said, were authorized by the
Government to reply that the
American propositions are in-admissible-on
legal principles,
but on the Spanish part all
diplomatic resources have been
exhausted, and the Spanish
Commission are now asked to
accept or reject the propositions
Spain, inspired by reasons of
patriotism and humanity, and to
avoid the horrors of war, resigns
herself to the power of the vic
tor. She accepts the offered con
ditions in order to conclude a
treaty of peace.
Paris, November 2S. The
American demands included the
acquisition of the Philippines
aud the Sulu group for $20,000,
000. It is understood that Amer
ica will purchase the Caroline
group. The question of the
debt of Cuba is left unsettled
until the next meeting on Wed
nesday. Washington, November 28.
The Germau Charge d'Affairs
spent an hour with Secretary
Hay early tms morning. There
is great reticence. It is believed
that the visit related to Ger
many's interest in the Sulu
islands. It is understood that
they claim a prior right to
them, and contend that Spain is
under obligations to let Germany
have them, if she ever let them
go-
Paris, November 28. Editor
Stead, who has just returned
from a tour through France,
Belgium, Germany, Russia,
Austria, Turkey and Itaiy, and j
who has seen the highest politi-
cians in each country, in some
cases their rulers, said to-day :
"The immense majority of
Europeans are absolutely igs ;
norant of wlut has happened,
and neither know nor care what
occurs to the other hemisphere,
but Europeans who read the
newspapers and form public
opinion are practically unani

THE HORNET COMING.
The Most Serious Engagement
in Which the Hornet Took
Part Was at Manzillo
Where it Was Struck
Many Times.
Special from Washington un
dtr date of Nov. 28th says: The
Secretary cf the Navy has con
sented to loan to the State of
North Carolina, the auxiliary
cruiser Hornet for the use of the
estate iavai Miutia. lne ves-
sel has been at Norfolk under
going repairs, and will proceed
to Wilmington at the date des
ignated by the Govenor of North
Carolina. A word about the
Hornet before she reaches North
Carolina waters will be of inter
est and from Secretary Long's
report on the work of the navy
during the war with Spain offic
ial information is easily obtain
ed.
Before the war the Hornet
was the v property of the no
ted railroad magnate. Henry
M. Flagler, aud was used as his
private yacht, then named Alica
She was purchased by the Unix
ted States on April 6th for 117,
000, and within less than two
months had engaged in two ac
tive contests with the Spaniards,
lhe Hornet's record is one of
the best made by the converted
yacht style cruiser.
The most serious engagement
in which the Hornet took part
was at Manzauillo on June 30.
The Hist, Wampatuck and Hor-.
net, while making reconnoisance
between Cape Cruz and Man
zanillo. The Hornet was struck
many times and Tiad her main
pipe cnt. The Wompatuck
gallantly towed the Hornet out
of danger. Many scars were
left on the Hornet by the
Spanish shells fired during this
engagement.
On July 12, the Hornet hav
ing been repaired at Key West.,
the little vessel took part in an
other engagement off Manzan
illo, and as a result several Spans
ish gunboats were destroyed.

ot Home,
Sweet
Home.
A new story is told of the first
time Home Sweet Ho ne was
sung in public. When the
government attempted to har
monize the contending factit ns
in the dispute on the Georgia
Tennessee boundry line, by
establishing a trading post there,
John Howard Payne was accused
of inciting the dissatisfied
Indians and half-breeds and was
arrested and carried to the
councikhouse.
An Indian who committed
suicide 011 the grave of his wife
and child was buried in the
presence of a number of men,
auicng whom was Payne. As
the body . ot tne Indian was
lowered into the grave. Pay ne
hummed to himself the song
that has become so famous.
General Bishop called
the
said
that
young man to mm and
sternly :
"Where did you learn
sung?"
I wrote it myself, answered
Payne.
"Where drd you get the tune?
"I composad that also."
"Will you give me a copy of
it?"
"Certainly."
"Well," said the old Indian
fighter, "appearance may be
against you, but a man who can
wrrte a song like that is no in
cendiarv. and I'm eroiner to set
4 v
you free."
Payne had been living in the
house of a neighboring family,
and on his return he related the
circumstance, and showed the
pass that Geneaal Bishop had
given him. That was the first
time that Home, Sweet Home
was ever heard in public.

trouble Dne to the Failure of
Negro Officers to Pass Ex
aminations for Commissions
To Wreak Vengeance on
Tenth Immunes Timely Dis
covery Preveuted the Carry
ing Out of Plans, and Arrests
Followed.
Special from Macon, Ga.,
says : The people of this city are
greatly incensed at the infamous
conduct of the negro troops
here. The results of their mutiny
would have been terribly bar
barous had it not been discover
in time.
General Wilson has declared
that he will not ask that the
Sixth Virginia negro regiment
be mustered out as he is satisfied
that their misconduct has been
partly for the purpose of getting
out of the service.
The cause of the trouble is
the lailure of the officers choses
by the negroes from among
their own number to pass ex
aminations for commissions.
White officers were then placed
in charge, and this aroused a
mutinous spirit, which caused
the white captains to resign.
The entire regiment is still
under arrest, guarded by a bat
talion of the Tenth Immunes,
who have orders to shoot any
man who attempts to escape.
Officers of the Tenth Iuis
munes say the mutiny was more
serious than as yet been re
ported ; more than a hundred
men left camp in small squads,
all armed with rifles.
They intended to meet and
kill the white provost guard
aud all white people with whom
they came in contact and then
pilage the town.
They had also sworn to
wreak vengeance on the Tenth
Immunes, who would not join
the outbreak. Timely discovery
prevented the carying out of
these plaus and arrests folllwed.

Macon, Nov. 22. When the
information reached here last
night that another negro regi
ment officered by negroes (the
Third North Carolina) was to be
sent here from Knoxville, there
was great dissatisfaction ex
pressed and the universal de
cision is that they will have to
behave themselves after they
arrive in Macon.
From the reports here to
day, giving an account of the
mutiny among them and the
killing and wounding of several
of the so-called "soldiers' at
Knoxville yesterday and other
actions of the North Carolina
regiment it is not thought that
they are any better than the
Virginia negroes, the whole
regiment of whom are still uns
der arrest and at hard labor, and
from them trouble is feared as a
result of their coming to Macon.
It is agreed on all hands that
the greatest trouble at ises from
the fact that these two regiments
are" officered by negroes, negro
officers invariable having proved
a failure in this war, the first in
which they ever participated in
the service of the U. S.
With white officers the negro
troops are not so bad, but with
negroes to command them tbey
are worse than bandits in some
respects. They reluse to obey

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
Is the standard family remedy
of the world for oolds, oougha
and lunff diseases. It is not a

for all oolds, coughs and throat
and lung diseases, is Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral.
