About the most that can be said
of the situation today ia that a com
ditioa of great sufpense exists.
With all the indirect news from
the Philippines notbirg effisial is
yet received. No doubt exis's as tc
Commodore Dewey's great victory,
but some uncertainty exists as tc
the fall extent of his succesnes.
There is still much uncertainly
as to the whereabouts of the Span
ish fbiet.
The troops beiog landed in Cuba
are probibly only Cubans.
As we scan the various dispatches
we are led to hope to hear that Fur-
to Rico will fall ia'o oar hands to
day or tomorrow.
There is little doubt that the
contemplated movement of a strong
force to the island of Cuba was de
layed for the contemplated battle
with the Spanish fl ret.
Dispatches say it bas returned to
Cadiz, but these dispatches are en
vtloped in some doubt. It is fairly
probable, however, that it is true.
If so there remains but little more
on the strategic slate than to act
vigorously in the Cuban campaign.
The mo.it reliable part of the
news is that S.mia is in a most tie.
plorable condition of rioting.
Qiar.ers for the Queen Regent
have bten procured in Vienna, ard
if it gets much hotter the will
probably sek safety.
Ca; t. Surnpeon granted permis- ion
for the British cruiser Talbot to .o
into Havana and bring away Briti.-h
sul j cts that wishid to leave the
city. It is said that Blanco is exer
ciaing himself to excite Spanish pa
tnotism in Cuba, which is said to
be very much weakening under
shortage of provisuns.

1 HE LAFAYETTE MATTER.
The Fine French Ship Taken In lint
Ht'leaNrrt Tlie ftpanlNli Fleet Kol
Ctunlnif Preparation For Fiiiharb-
ntlon lo Cuba Conurewn Hitty.
Our telegram Friday evening that
Capt. Lechaplain protested against
the seizure of the LaFayette is fully
explained by the full dispatches.
The LaFayette is a French naval
transport that had set out for Vera
Cmz yia. Havana before bcstilitiee
had begun. The French consul a'
Washington had explained her misi
sion, and the government intended
the L'.F-iyette to be passed on, bat
the orders did not reach the block
ading ftpiadron in time. 'Ihe Ls
fayetie evidently acted badly in at.
tempting to escare after being
hailed, and before having permission
to proceed when she knw that th:
Havana port was blockaded. She
has been released and escorted
through the lines, and it is to be
hoped the whole incident is closed
It was a magnificent chae in which
the fine ship was overhauled Tues
day evening almoBt under the gimp
of Morro,
No news has been received di
rectly from Commodore Dewey, and
much apprehension is felt for his
safety. Our government feels little
uneasiness, though. Our faith is
strong for Diwey's safety. We Jgive
these as our reasons: Before the
wires were cut reports from Spanish
sources made it moat favorable to
Dewey and most disastrous to Spain.
Nothing in coifiict therewith it re
ported. Commodore Dewey would
not cut the wires from any probable
strategic reaeon. The Spaniards
wonld be most likely to cut the
wires as a last desperate effort to in
conv nie' cj him, even though i1
were to their disadvantage. Had
any reveiees of fortune have oc
curred it would have leaked out most
probably. Indeed, if such were the
case Spain would be apt to know it
to her great need in her rio'ous con
dition nul the world wr.u'd be made
t ) know it.
Commodore Dewey bin a big tick
to gt-t his fl e' io order to rn. et any
relief to the ieluads by Spain whtle
he, is setting things in order by the
aid 'of the nativei who themsdves
may n?ed m'ich tutoring. He prob
ah y niu no', eyen a dispa'ch boat or
crew to spare.
We strongly believe that when the
full report comes it will show the
gallant commodore all . r'ghi
through a most stupendous accom
plishment. It is bard oa our pjti.nce and
amid such so'icitnde, but it csn'i
be helped
Now that tbe Spanish fltet has
sbowa iha' it does not want to meet
Simpson on the seas thre is good
reason to believe that 6ur whole at
tention is and will be given to Oub
and Porto Rico. Friday's difpitcbes
say :
Preparations for the embarkation
of the United States iroops are
rapidly being completed at Tampa.
Seven of the transports to te nsed
in earning the eoldiers and their
hones and supplies to Cuba are
aow at Port Tampa, and rations
enoufh for 7.000 men for 30 daye
are i xp.oted to &rriv tomorrow.
They are rapidly becoming accli
mated and w hen the time comes for

pany "G" is now a thing of the
past, "L" being substituted for
that letter. We are the 12th
company in Hue and are quart
ered next to K, the Ealcigh boys,
and company M, the Queen city
guards.
Swarms of people from tbe city
visit the camp every afternoon to
see tho boys on parade and at the
mess table.
There is very little or no excite
ment among the soldiers generally
over the prospects of war though
when they are called upon they
will respond willingly. Many of
tbe younger boys are eager for
order to Cuba.
The first storm in Camp life is
now being experienced by many
rf the raw recruits. A terrific
wind and rain storm visited this
section tbis afternoon, and we tre
bavirg a wet time.
Mr. John Blick Alexander pass
ed tbe pLysical examination today
and will be mnsteroel into services
at once as Co. "L" drummer.
While tbe city of Raleigh pre
sents a somewhat dilapidated ap
pearance in some'parts, there are
more pretty flowers here than
in any other Southern city I Lave
ever seen. There Las been a
wonderful progressive move in
Raleigh within tbe past several
years.
Koine of the boys are very anx
ious to see their sweethearts and
others at Lome.
Sergeant Q E Smith will yery
probably be appointed to a posi
tion in the office quarters.
The change ot water bas made
several of our boys sick, but not
seriously.
The bathing pool at Pullen's
Fark has beon turned over to the
soldiers, and tho boys spend their
leisure moments in the water.
A great number of peoplo who
know that the Cabarrus Light
Infantry was the first company in
the camp and the first one to be
mustered into services, wonder
why it is that we were not honor
ed with tbe little "A." The assign
ment of letters are guaged by the
captain of the company who Las
been in military service, tbe
longest.
