THE SEMI-WEEKLY MESSENGER: FRIDAY, J UNE 17, 1898. t - . ! PEACE TALK I In the midst of active war the peace Stalk floats on the gales. One day you read Spain will not torook interference, but -will fight it out to the bitter end. The next day you will read of Spain's appeal to Europe for peace, and all manner of reports about it from var ious cities in Europe. If there is really janythingr definite as to this peace talk It probably amounts to this: Inquiries relative to peace "have been received at tVienna, Austria. The Spanish crisis tor such there must (be from reports through weeks, 13 advancing with rapid etrides, and an intervention of the DPowers 13 to be asked for almost Im mediately. Austria' thus far holds laloof, as he is desirous to avoid all appearances of dynastic action In aid Of her friend In distress the Queen Re igent. In Washington it is understood, It seems, that no actual peace sugges tion has been made as yet by any for teflgn government, as they all seem re luctant to take the initiative or to combine- with others to demand peace. It is true Russia blusters and insults and Germany is saucy and offensive, Jjut these ,AntiJRepublic powers have mot got together to deal with our coun try as these autrocratic almost despotic p-owers may deem best for themselves. A report from Madrid on the 9th was tto the effect: "Ambassador to Austria has Ibeen instructed to seek the good bffices of Austria in bringing forward ithe peace proposition but, if thi3 be true, the Austrian 'Minister here, Mr. ,Von Hengelmuller, has not conveyed to the State Department any intima tion that Austria is ready to act. On the contrary, BIr. Von 'Hengelmuller does hot appear to think that his service will be required here in the near fu ture." We notice that the London great .weeklies for such five ar six of them lare thirik that Spain's position now 3s about hopeless. The Spectator says (that: "there can be no doubt that fwhen -the truth is realized and noth 'inlg more can be hoped for from Cer vera, Spain, especially southern Spain, will eplode in a burst of revolutionary passion." The Speaker says: -"Both at Santi ago and apparently at Manilla resist ance is hopeless, and Spain ntust soon he led to see it." The Saturday Review says:' '"The moment i3 opportune for the interven tion of France, whose good offices .would certainly be acceptable to both countries; and an honorable peace might be secured." The Spectator is particularly cordial In its praise of Hobson's splendid gal lantry. It says that you cannot beat a nation whose officers and men are equally ready to perish in a forlorn Hiope if only it may advance a national lobject." j The St. James Gazette has a strong editorial of the 10th instant pointing tout the utteir hopelessness of Spain's farther resistance, and ad Vise that this country seek a settlement of the Cuban question in Spain. It also refers to the threats or offensive title of certain Eu ropean powers and says they will not relish an invasion etc, and adds: "But 5f the Americans are going to be fright ened by the vague abstraction called Europe they must be very timid. Let them consult the Sultan, and remember that England is their Russia for the time being." This is to say that if European gov ernments interfere with the United States England will interfere also to stop their foolishness. It is telegraphed from Washington (that there is a growth of peace pros pect. Certain European diplomats at Washington 'are said to have receiv led en'couiralging reports of peace from European foreign officers. Even the able (First Lord of the Treasury in Great Britian, Right Honorable A. J. Balfour, said in the House of Commons on the 10th instant: "Her "Majesty's government will glad ly take any 'favorable opportunity for promoting a cessation of hostilities and negotiations for peace between the United States and Spain, but any action upon their part for this purpose can only be undertaken if there is reason able prospect that it wil be well receiv icd by both parties, and of its being likely to lead to an agreement between Ithem. Unfortunately, ther is not suffi cient ground for believing the condition exists." There is an opinion held that Spain ,will protect the war even after she is well whipped. It is pointed out that she pursued that course as to her col onies in South America, that success fully revolted and became independent. But Spain kept up a sort of half war and refused to negotiate treaties, etc. .The New York Times thinks Spain may pursue a course of pretended war after she has been well beaten. But possibly the very disordered conditions at home may prevent such an unwise protraction of hostilities. The Times says: "The capture and occupation of Cu a, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines twill end the war in a way that ought to satisfy the most exacting foolish nation. It may not fully satisfy Spain. The Cortes will very likely vote phan Jtom money to fit out phantom fleets, and dispatches ' from Madrid will re port naval preparations to fall upon ,"us and recapture her lost possessions. So long as Spain fights or keeps up a tehow of fighting we cannot open ne gotiations for peace. The initiative rests with the beaten side. But we could not tolerate a prolongation of the period of hostilities. Our com merce would be annoyed, there would ibe disquietude at home, and the risk of misunderstandings abroad. Friendly Rations would expect us to end the fighting, for war is a great nuisance. The modern tendency and practice are to make it as short as possible." After our navy, and army have cleaned out the Spaniards in the Is lands named, then send, if necessary, our great fleets in search of the enemy even into European Spanish waters. But that may be ahead sometime yet. INVASION Once more the army moves. First gathered or mobilized at certain camps 18,000 men have been sent for ward on transports to Cuba. Instead of the one great warship, the Indiana, to guard the convoy, there is a formi dable fleet to attend the vessels. Ru mors of the presence of Spanish war vessels in the Florida Straits caused a change of tactics, and induced the naval department to take no chances of fatal disaster. It is remarkable how very obliging the Americans have been to the Span iards. They have by dispatches and newspapers kept the Spanish author! ties informed of all the plans of the American government, and day to day told them of the progress in the camps, when the army would move, whither bound, and the one ship to guard the many ships loaded with troops. Nothing has been left undone to keep Spain fully posted of passing events. Our people have acted like children playing soldiers, rather than like a wise, capable, cautious govern ment striving to conquer peace. News papers complain of "censorship." The real complaint should be that it was delayed too long. At last Europe is to receive no war news in advance and only reports of actual engagements. This is a necessity. There are fifty ships comprising the gathering. To strengthen the convoy there is no excessive lessening of the strength of the squadrons at either Havana or Santiago. Sampson still has ten more ships, including the formi dable battleships Iowa, Texas, Massa chusetts and Oregon, and the armored cruisers New York and Brooklyn. The blockading squadron will continue to have twelve more ships, including the four big monitors, Puritan, Terror, Amphitrite and Minantonomoh. There is no fear felt of Spanish ships interfering with the Santiago ex pedition by sea. While the Spaniards have already given a sharp foretaste of the reception that will be extended to American invasion by land, and are preparing to make a very stout and dashing resistance, there will be no danger attending the transporting of troops from the enemy. Our marines at Guantanamoh be haved with marked coolness and spirit, if they were mainly untried men. The Spaniards fought bravely but acted like savages in mutilating four dead marines It is hard for Spain to be have well always. Another distinguished confederate soldier, General Stephen D. Lee, of Mississippi, was "honored" (?) by President McKinley with a brigadier general's place, but declined, as he ought to have done. His friends thought very properly that the place tendered was "beneath his rank sta tion and ability," and so it was. Think of the president offering a brigadier generalship to the senior surviving lieutenant general of the confederate armies, after giving the place to so many "small fry" soldiers not worthy to sit in Lee's presence holiday sol diers. We are glad indeed that both Generals Lee and Hoke shoved aside the contemptible protter. rue presi dent (a major himself once) ought to quit such stupid attempts at humilia tion. How will he like for some dem ocratic governor of Ohio to offer him after his four years are up as Chief Executive of the United states, a squire's place in his town? Late to bea and early to rise, pre pares a man for his home in the skies. Early to bed and a Little Early Riser, the pill that makes life longer and bet ter and wise. For sale by R. R. Bel lamy. The War Board There appears to be a great miscon ception on the part of the public and the newspapers as to the nature, of this board, its composition, functions and manner of work. According to the popular mind, this board sits in the navy department, and, with au tocrat orders, directs the movements of fleets and the execution of plans of campaigns down to the every smallest details. This conception has led to a good deal of comment, some humorous and some serious, at the expense of the board, and the idea had even spread to Europe, where so conserva tive a paper as The London Times has delivered itself of this criticism: "It would be wise in the future to leave the direction of operations to na val commanders. Councils have never proved capable directors of war. Their proper function is to obtain informa tion and to forward it to the admirals, who must be, as Nelson claimed the right to be, free to act when the op portunity arrived. Now, Secretary Long is a member of the war board; at least he is frequent ly with it during its sessions, and he says that the views of The Times as to the proper functions of a war coun cil express exactly the functions con ferred upon and exercised by the na val war board. It has worked cease lessly and intelligently to learn the movements of the enemy and the ene my's plans, and to gather all kinds of information that would be of value to the United States naval commandeas now at sea. It has not undertaken to hamper them with unnecessary in structions, but, supplying them with all Information obtainable that might assist, has kept ever in mind the prin ciple that the commander on the spot Is the person best qualified to act. The board has not made a single mistake since the beginning of the war, was the tribute that Secretary Long- paid NORTH CAROLINA A man iumi Gibson died of sunstroke at Greenatboro.

The chemist, who is said to be the best in Maryland, made a thorough examina tion of the same and failed to find satis factory evidence of poison. Of course this vindicates her husband, Mr. Rom Baze more. Lenoir Topic: June 4, 1558, the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of Mrs. Cynthia Barlow, widow of the late Hamilton Barlow, met at the old home stead on the head-waters of King's creek to celebrate her 80th birthday. (Mrs. Bar low, whose maiden name was Ferguson, a daughter of the late John Ferguson, is the mother of nine children, seven living. The total number of her descendants is 9279 of whom are living. Of this large number all were present except three at the dinner which was given in her honor. Statesville Mascot: The reports in some of the newspapers that there was a sen sation in the supreme court room when the decision in the case of Greenlee vs. the railroad from McDowell was render ed were erroneous. Judge 'Furches tells us that there were dissenting opinions filed by Chief Justice Faircloth and him self, but that there was nothing sensa tional in either of them. These two jus tices simply disagreed -with their asso ciates of the court upon the law, as is frequently the case, and filed their dis senting opinions. In fact, Judge Furches' opinion was written as the opinion of the court, but the court afterwards changed its opinion. Raleigh iNews and Observer: The gov ernor on yesterday appointed Sebon L. Harris, of Raleigh, a trustee of the North Carolina deaf, dumb and blind in stitution to fill out the unexpiread term of C. T. Bailey, resigned. J. H.

'Miss Mabel Hale, who has been for some time prin cipal of the Centennial graded school of Raleigh, has resigned that position and will become a member of the faculty of 'St. Mary's. IMiss Hale is one of the most talented young women in the state, and one of its moBt competent, popular and successful teachers. A meeting of the "sound money democrats" has been call ed by Chairman Ashley at Greensboro July 4th. STATE PRESS. The North 'Carolina democracy is clear- lv united in opposition to fusion and is determined to make a straight fight for good government. What is better for the party, the action is attracting to it quite a number of voters who have here tofore been affiliated with other parties. Salisbury Sun. Pass the word along the line that the democratic party of North Carolina in state convention assembled did posi tively refuse to fuse -with the populists and rejected the proposition to unite with that party for the purpose of trading in the offices of the people. A political party, like an individual, has a charac ter to sustain and the great body of dem ocrats Which met in-Raleigh last Thurs day felt that responsibility and so acted. -.Monroe Enquirer. The democratic state convention not only overwhelmingly voted down fusion, but it drew the fangs and muzzle of tne executive committee by making it impos sible for it to betray the party into dis graceful trades as its predecessor did. That part of the convention's work was excellent, but the effect of thise -wise -and patriotic action was weakened and marr ed by the adoption ot a piatrorm wnicn is nothing more than rot and cheap claptrap. JLincoInton Journal, (gold.) The campaign will be fought with en thusiasm and determination from the start. It is now the duty of every demo crat in the state to throw aside all pre judice, und unite in an honest effort to elect every candidate now named, and those Who will hereafter be named. Let's all go to wor.k and work with a vim until the election in November. The Courier can't help but feel just a little bit elated over the action of the democratic con vention. It adopted the platform and resolutions which we have, the best we could, advocate for the past few months. as the only manly and honest course for the democratic party to pursure. AN e were vindicated, and we feel happy over the result. Roxboro Courier. Certain populist papers and speakers. realizing that they have lost their influ ence with their followers, are returning to the tactics so successfully employed by them in converting the Farmers' Al liance into a political machine, to-wit. the stirring up of class prejudice. There is now an altogether better feeling exist ing among the white people of North Carolina than has been the case since 1892, but the signs are unmistakable that this blessed condition of returning peace is not to reach fruition if these same papers and speakers can prevent it. It is fresh in the memory or all of us how demagogues, in order to accomplish their own base ends, went over the state and set the "people by the ears." The farmers were told that every man who lived in town was a grand rascal, and all the use the town folks had for them (the farmers) was to make hewers of wood and drawers of water of them. In deed, the prejudices and passions of the people were so deftly worked upon that men, who had always known and re spected each other as honorable gentle men, were led on, insidiously it is true, to have the most bitter and revengeful thoughts concerning each other. Politi cal success were never attained by baser or more contemptible means. Wadesboro Intelligencer. Nominations and Confirmations Washington, June 13.

(d A WEEK OF ACTIO Important Development; In the War With Spain at Hand. CWashlngton Post) Great events are 'scheduled f or this week in the war programme. The army Is finally to land oa Cuban soli, and the progress that will be made "with the Porto Rico expedition win be such as to injure its starting very soon. By the end of the week also the first de tachment of troops for the Philippines ought to reach Admiral Dewey, and a a attack upon 'Manila may at once b or dered, if, in the mean time the city does not surrender to the Insurgents. The popular branch of the American con gress will als have gone upon record in favor of adding the Hawaiian Is lands to oux domain, and the first steP3 will nave been taken in the senate to ward securing a final vote in that body. The Work of the troops -when they have reached Sampson's squadron is already definitely planned. The first point of attack will be the ctiy of Guantanamo, some fifteen miles inland from the bay of the same name, and connected by rail with Caiman era. The latter place i3 already under the Amer ican flag, but it is not likely that Ad miral Sampson will allow the adjacent city to remain in the possession of a Spanish garrison. Guantanamo bay, as has frequently been stated. Is to be the base of supplies and the shelter for the American fleet, and consequently must be absolutely free from any menace of danger. On the shores of the bay will be dumped thousands of tons of coal from colliers sent there for that pur pose, and this will Obviate the neces sity of frequent return to Key West, or even of coaling at sea. Of course, the main attack of the army will be at Santiago. The move ment upon Guantanamo will be only a diversion, so to speak, and will not re quire a very large force for Its accom plishment. "Neither, as a matter of fact, ought the seizure of Santiago to be a difficult undertaking. There can not be, in the first place, any opposi tion to the landing of the troops. Ev erypoint which presents the least avail ability as a landing place has been thoroughly shelled, so that all shore batteries have been silenced. Nothing now remains to be taken except the fortifications along the inner harbor and the city itself. The latter, so far as the army reports show, is not a strongly fortified place, and the Span ish garrison consists very largely of volunteers who have been drafted Into the service, and who are not to be de pended upon to put up a stout resist ance. Wltn the expedition against San Juan and the island of Porto Rico it may be different. The fortifications at the mouth of San Juan harbor are un doubtedly second only to tbose at Ha vana. They were not silenced by Ad miral Sampson, and they have been, in all probability, greatly strengthened since that noisy but ineffective bom bardment. The guns at these fortifi cations are modern, high-power affairs, and the batteries have been newly con structed. According to the reports made at the war department, however. they are not impregnable, and when Admiral Sampson goes at them again with 'a strong fleet and a determination to reduce them, he will undoubtedly suceed without much trouble. The great mass of the Spanish soldiery on the Island is at San Juan, and some resistance may (be shown, but it Is the present intention of the president to send an army to the 'island large enough to cope with any forte that the Spanish may be able to muster. There will be some trouble in getting the ships into the harbor, as it is mined, and for this reason the transports will have to carry the soldiers to some other point near San Juan and from the land ing place they will march, upon the city. The capture of San Juan will be the sum total of the work. There are Spanish garrisons at other towns, but they are not of sufficient importance to be taken into consideration. The people of the island are said to be thoroughly disaffected, and will wel come the arrival of the American army as the means of relieving them from the control of Spain. Gladstone's Poem at Sixteen Mr. Gladstone as a noet was hardly at any period of bis life as admirable as he was interesting. Here is hi3 "Sonnet to a Rejected Sonnet." whicn he printed in "The Eton Miscellany" Triors than seven'tv years aero: Poor Child of sorrow! who didst boldly snrine. Like sapient Pallas, from thy parent' .3 brain. All armed in mail of proof! and thouffh wouldst fain. Leap further yet, and, on exultant wing, Ri-sa tn the sumit of the Printer's Press! But cruel hand hath nipp'd thy buds amain. Hath fix'd on thee the darkling inky Hath soiled thy splendor, and defiled tbv dress! Where are thy "full-orbed moon" and "skv serene? And where thy "waving foam" and "frvamine- wave? ah aro hiotted ibv tbe murd'rous pen. And lie unhonored in their papery grave! Weep, gentle sonnets! Sonneters, de nlore! And vow and keep the vow you'll write no more. A Lynching In Kanwii Great Bend. Kas.. June 13. In the public square, fronting on the princi pal business street or this city, a mur- rtrr was lvnched at 8 o'clock this evening by a mob of probably 500 per sons. It is estimated that at least 1 000 men of Great Bend witnessed the tragedy, The victim was John John T?wkr a. vounc- white man who on Anril 8th killed Myrtle Huffmeister, the 16-year-old daughter of William Huffmeister. a farmer living mid-way hptween Great Bend and Eilinwood. Becker was employed by the farmer and the tragedy followed the girl's refusal to accept his advances. When she came to the stable in the evening- Becker shot her to death, after whicn h set fire to the farmer's stables and Acraned. On Anril 13th a posse of farmers caDtured the murderer near St. John, Stafford county, and fa was kept for a time at Hutchinson.
