THE BLOCKADE CONTINUES Sampson's Fleet Concentrated Ten Miles Off Morro "OLD NAN" STAY WILMINGTON It Is Not Improbable That The Bombardment of Matanzas Will Be Repeated. By Wire to Thb Tklbgkam. Washington, May 2 The latest news from the scene of conflict at Ma nila through unofficial but what is generally trustworthy sources is that the bombardment of the city began this morning. During such activity the British consul went out to the flag ship and interviewed Admiral Dewey to see what terms could be made for surrender, and assumed that he was tacitly empowered to do this by the Spanish authorities, though he was acting ostensibly in the interest of the foreign element, whose personal safety and business operations are put in se rious jeopardy by the attack on the city. Such an errand, it is thought, would more likely be deputed to the representative of England than any one else on the theory that the friend ship existing between England and the United States would have a powerful influence in procuring a concession and spare the Spanish dignity. SECRET ORDERS. Washington, May 2 The cruiser Yale will immediately take on com plete armor and willsail under secret orders. ALL SPANISH REPORTS. Washinnton,May 2 Secretary Land has not yet received official advices from the Asiatic station. All the news thus far received is from Spanish sources. SAN FRANCISCO IN PORT. KYovidencctown, Mass., May 2 The cruiser San Francisco dropped anchor near the ram. Katahdin this morning. COLUMBIA AT PORTLAND. Portland, Me. , May 2 The cruiser Columbia was sighted coming into the harbor this morning. MINNEAPOLIS SAILS. Portsmouth, N. H. The cruiser Minneapolis sailed this morning from here going in a westerly direction. NANTUCKET REMAINS HERE. Washington, May 2 The senate finance committee was in session this morning considering the house war revenue measure. The democratic steering committee has decided upon Senator Horace Chilton, of Texas to succeed Senator Walthall, of Mississippi as a member of the finance committee. Senator Pritchard, of North Caro lina, has arranged witn secretary Long for the revocation of the order giving the command of the Nantucket, now under orders to proceed from Wilmington to Port Royal to South Carolinaivolunteers. Instead of the original order one has' been secured which orders the manning of the Nan tucket with North Carolina naval re serves, "under Commander Morton, of Wilmington, who is here making the necessary arrangements. MAY BOMBARD MATANZAS. On board the flagship New York, May 2 The blockade of Havana con tinues. The blockading fleet is ten miles off Morro Castle. The cruiser Montgomery and the tug Ocala have just arrived and joined the fleet. The commanders of the various vessels consulted with Rear Admiral Samp son and it is hardly expected any demonstration off Cuba will be made today. It is understood that a move ment had been planned but it was prevented by a heavy sea. A long consultation was held yes terday by the commanders of the fleet and the indication is that a concen trated movement by the fleet is being contemplated. Those on board the flagship are ig norant of the object of the conference but it is confidently expected that a bombardment of Matanzas will be re peated. The flagship steamed slowly past Morro Castle without incident The remainder of the fleet returned to their various stations along the coast There has been no excitement among the vessels for forty-eight hours, ex cept the chase of the British tramp steamer, Strathde. firs. Bumpass' Illness. The manv friends of Mrs. F. M. Bumcass in Greensboro and through out the state, will learn with sorrow that her condition to day is more se rious than it has been at any other time duriner her present illness. Her son, who is at Tarboro, was sent for LBTS ALL DO IT. Close Up and Bid the Young Volun teers God Speed. Editor Evening Telegram: On yes terday morning at the various churches in our city, a request was made by Captain Gray for prayer in behalf of the military company which will leave our place tomorrow Tuesday for the conflict with Spain. As I heard this request, I' could but think what was the attitude of myself, and of every other good citizen, towards these young men, after seriously reflecting as to the full meaning of their going out of our community for the purpose of engaging in mortal combat with a foreign foe. These men have voluntarily placed their lives upon the altar of sacrifice to their country's honor, and have said "We are willing Co die in defense of it!" These young men have grown up in our community, and in the com munities adjacent to this; they are the sons of North Carolina; they are the bone, the sinew and the brain, from which some of -our best men might be drawn, in the future. They go from us, possibly -the majority of them, never to return again. For what pur pose? Surely, not for the sum of $13,00 per month; as there is not a man of them that cannot make more than that by staying at home. The same spirit animates them that moved the hearts -of the patriots of Guilford Court House, of King's Mountain, of Chicamauga, and of all the battlefields that this country has left behind as a record of the deeds and daring, and patriotism of our soldiers. As these young men leave our town tomorrow morning the question arose to my mind what could we-do to show our appreciation to them of this act on their part, and I would therefore sug gest that every business house in Greensboro, at the hour appointed for these young men'to leave tomorrow, close up its doors; that every factory stop its engines; that the schools let out; that a quiet hush fall over the usual avocations of the day; and that the citizens, en masse, gather at the depot to bid God-speed to these young men who are thus going forth to fight or to die in defense of their country, and their country's honor. This is as little aa we can do, it strikes me, in their behalf. As the: train moves out from the depot let there be this linger ing picture left as the last thing in their memory, how the people of their own town and community gathered and bade them God-speed; and may the songs of patriotism and of Zion fall upon their ears to nerve them to the conflict, and to encourage them in a life of fidelity and bravery, honor and sobriety. This is as little, I think, as we can do. Will we all do it? Ix;t us show our appreciation to our young men in this hour when something of this kind is due them; and I trust it will not be necessary to say more in order to get our people to thus rally to them. Chas. H. Ireland. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. J. J. Otterbourg, of this City, Hung Himself to a Bed Post. Yesterday evening at his home on McCulloch street J. J. Otterbourg, the upholsterer, attempted, and very near ly succeeded, in taking his own life. In the afternoon he went into his room and it was thought he was taking a nap. About six o'clock his little daughter went to call him and on open ing the door found him suspended with a small- rope around his neck which was fastened to the top of an old fash ioned high bedstead. Mr. Otterbourg's feet were on the floor and he was lean ing over in order that the rope might tighten on his neck. The alarm was' given and he was quickly taken down. Dr. Stamey was called and administered to the unfor tunate man. He was choked until- his face was black, and a few minutes more would have finished him. He is yet unconscious and in a most criti cal condition. The only reason assigned for the rash act was that Mr. Otterbourg's son has volunteered to go to the war. Telegram's Sunday Bulletins. Owing to the probability of an .en gagement between the Asiatic squad ron and Spain's fleet off Manilla yes terday the Telegram decided to receive and post bulletins in regard to the battle. This "the Telegram did and the appreciation by the people of Greensboro of its willingness to sup ply its friends with the latest and most reliable news.in regard to the war, was evidenced by" the interest they took in the bulletins and the kind words they spoke of the enterprise of the Telegram. A large crowd was col lected about the bulletins all the af ternoon and upjtp a late hour last night.

Three delightful services were held at the Baptist church yesterday. At the morning service the subject was "Following Christ." One isn't often permitted to hear a sermon of such rare power and sweetness. At 4 p. m. consecration service was held. Entire cansecration Is the duty of every chris tian was argued. At the conclusion of this delightful service scores of christians came forward expressing a desire for more entire consecration. At night the house was packed. "The True Refuge" was the subject.

Such preaching as Mr. Needham is doing, must result in the strengthening of God's people and in awakening in the hearts of the unsaved, longing for better things. Services will be conducted through this week. The Colorado Sinks a Pilot Boat. Charleston, S.
