Tne Indignation Meeting:.
The colored people held their in
dignation meeting Wednesday night
for the purpose of denouncing one
of their brothers, George Green, for
putting out some mischievous re
reports. In order that some
that might be prejudiced should riot
express themselves, a committee was
appointed to drt ft resolutions. ;
The matter seems, as first stated,
to have aiiien by some children
talking to each other and the matter
did not amount to much.

but we would be surprised ; if this
shoald not le verified very soon.
Spain should stop this war by ac
ceding to the demands of a great
nation as superior to her in mag
nanimity as in power. But it seemi
she will not. and the worst is sure
to come. The landing of troops on
Cuban soil is not coming just in the
line of expectation, but it would be
less than the wisdom possessed by
our leaders if movements could un
dergo no modification by develop,
ments.
It is not known where the Span.
ish squadron now is, but it is en
tirely probable that it is heading to
intercept the Oregoa and the Mari
etta, now on their way from Rio, or
possibly is making for her only coal
ing station in Cuban waters :at
Porto Rico. S j ;
Admiral Sampson has moved' out,
and we are left to find out his in is
sion later. The uiOBt probable
theory, however, is that he will take
or destroy the coaling station at
Porto Rico, and will then proceed to
hunt for the Spanieh fleet, which
should soon be found if it is actually
coming this way
Spam seems desperate enough just
now to r venture on such a course.

Admiral Samnson better than i to
join in the one grand issue
