Editor Telegram: While we regret to learn that the "Many Citizens" are hostile to the ap pointment of ministers as principals of the Graded schools, the writer is not surprised. For there are very few things that the many citizens desire to see the ministers obtain. They do not want to them live in a respectable place, nor have sufficient comfort where they do live. Neither do they want to see them exert a wide influence over the masses of the peo ple. Yet the ministers are the best set of men the race has and should help to mould the sentiment of each com munity. Though there be some amongst them unworthy of the name. We have no regard for that sentence which says "the representative men do not want ministers in our Graded school." For these representative men are too weak-kpeed to dictate the policy of their town or o shape the destiny of a struggling race, but when it comes to opposing a minister who tries to make an honest living they are at home. The writer is aware that the college doors close behind thous ands of trained teachers each year but all - who take the course are not adapted to teaching. It strikes the writer that it mitrht be a good thing for these "Many Citizens" to open up new enterprises for the re cruits and cease dictating to the board of education, while they hoard up their earnings as though though they might take wings. The ministers are sincere in their efforts to induce the race to imitate the best model of our age and time. Imitate them in every respect. Don't put your ministers in an ice box and expect them to sweat. The writer thinks that the preachers prepare their sermons and impart religious instruc tion about as well as you support them. "Poor pay begets poor preach." There is one pastor in our town who has not received more than $18.00 a month for the last six months, and another who has received still less, and it is probable that some of these "Many Citizens" have paid less than 13 in as many years. Therefore 11 tne preachers prepare themselves let them have a 6how. Vox nonuli ne semper vox Dei est. Wamba. Why Interference Is Improbable. The American newspapers are wast ing a good deal of ink in discussing the question whether any of the Euro pean great powers are likely to inter fere in their war with Spain andspecu lating on what would be our attitude were this the case. They may rest cer tain that no European power has ever dreamed of imposing: terms of accom modation on one orotherof the billig erents, while all or any woum dc 11 ready if asked, to act as a medium of negotiation with a view to peace. The object of modern diplomacy, when a war arises between two great nations, ia t.rk lrwA.li7.a it. and to prevent its spreading. In the first Italian war between France and Italy, which re sulted in the loss to the latter of Lorn baray, in me Austru ueimou and in the Franco- Prussian war, the struggle was localized by neutrals act ing on this principal of non-interfer ence. All that is written about some powers wanting to interfere on behalf of Spain and our insisting that such interference must not take place, is mere lOUrnaUBUC uivtu. xauuwu 1! i!. 4.V T nAnn Truth.

BATTLE EXPECTED- HOURLY, Thirty Thousand Troops Gone to Santiago and San Joan, PRESIDENT'S PROGRAM OUTLINED Schley's Report Received Rumored That Fleet Has Forced Entrance. Fltz Lee to Porto Rico. Any doubt that may have existed as to the purpose of the administration to occupy Santiago is now dissipated. Sampson has been ordered to join Schley and assume command which he is said to have done on yesterday. There is a rumor that the combined squadrons again attacked the fortifi cations of Santiago yesterday but the rumor lacked confirmation up to this morning. It is probable however that an attack will be made immediately and troops who should have arrived by this time will be landed under fire of the ships to form a junction with Garcia. The main reason for attack ing Santiago before Havana is, of course, the capture or destruction of the squadron now in the harbor. An other reason is that Spain is expected to sue for peace immediately upon the fall of Havana and it is desired that the United States hold as much terri tory as possible before that transpires. For this reason also it appears that Porto Rico and the Philippines will be occupied before a move is made on A Havana. ARMY OF INVASION OFF. By Wire to Thb Tklbokam. Washinfiton, June 3 Despite all official denials there is the highest authority for the statement that troops to the number of thirty thousand are now en route to Santiago de Cuba and San Juan de Porto Rico. They embarked yesterday but whether from Tampa and were halted at Key West or whether they embarked at Mobile or some other coast point can not be definitely learned at this writing. Transports were in waiting at several coast cities and troops may been em barked on all forming a junction after putting to sea in order to mis lead the Spanish spies. Though despatches inspired by the war de partment deny -the sailing of troops the denial is contrary to positive in formation obtained fromother sources. It is known bevond dispute that the administration is expecting a battle to occur withinthe next twenty fourhours. General Shatter is undoubtedly in command of the expedition sent to San tiago. General Lee is in command of the expedition for Porto Rico. General Miles wjl command an army of 100,000 men that will invest Havana after the other expeditions have landed and se cured themselves so that the warships can be spared to convoy the main army GENERAL. OTIS RECEIVES ORDERS. San Francisco, June 3 Orders were issued by tne war department late last night to prepare the Colorado and Pennsylvania troops to stsrt for the Philippines next Tuesday.

Washington, June 3 The official re port of Commodore Schley haabeen re ceived concerning the Santiago fight. He says he has no doubt that Cer vera's fleet is in the harbor. PRESIDENT'S PROGRAM. New York, June 3 A Washington special to the Evening Journal says the president today outlined his plans to the cabinet as follows: Sufficient troops will be sent to Santiago to se cure the capture of the town and the destruction of the fleet by a land and sea attack. Santiago will then be made the seat of the military and civn government oi the uuban re public. A bombardment and land attack will be made simultaneously on San Juan de Porto Rico and a suffic ient force left there to hold the island. It is believed these operations will practically end the war. NOTES FROM HIQH POINT. The Local News from Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau. High Point, N. C, June 3, '98. f W. H.

Nine INSURGENTS ASSISTING BY LAND Cable Office Abandoned The Vesu- vous Opening the Channel Four Thousand Troops on Way. By Wire to The Tklbgham New York, June 3 A special cable gram to the New York Tribune from Port-au-Prince Hayti says that the news has reached there that Sampson and Schley appeared off Santiago de Cuba this morning and re-opened fire on the forts at the entrance. The en gagement began before nine o'clock and was still in progress when the cablegram was sent. THE WORLD'S REPORT. New York, June 3 The World cor respondent at Port-au-Prince sends a special cablegram saying that the bombardment of Santiago has been resumed. No particulars of the en gagement could be had at the time. Cable communication with the island is uninterrupted and the fact that no responses have been received to the cablegrams of inquiry sent is attribu table either to an order forbidding those receiving them to respond or the people are too excited to answer. I( is probable that orders have been issued not to allow news to reach the United States. THE CITY BESIEGED. San Domingo, June 3 The city of Santiago de Cuba is besieged by the insurgents under Garcia acting in co operation with " the United States squadron. WASHINGTON BEHIND AS USUAL.

Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 3 No news from Santiago has been received up to noon today. In the first attack the flagship Brooklyn was ordered to stand off shore and locate the various batteries. The fleet starting 7,000 yards from the shore, moved swiftly toward the harbor en trance, opening on the forts and the Cristobal Colon as they approached The latter was struck twice instead of once as was. at first reported. The en tire set of forts opened fire but inef fectively. Borne of the modern guns were well aimed. Commodore Schley occupied a position near the forward turret on the Massachusetts and calmly watched the enemy's forts through his glasses. The Americans fired four rounds from their heavy guns. It is evident that Santiago is well fortified, having a number of modertLguns using smokeless powder It will require a heavy bombardment to reduce the forts and dislodge the Spanish fleet.

Washington, June - 3 During the consideration of the war revenue bill today Senator Jones said he thought the revenue features of the bill should be passed, before the bond provision was taken up.

He says the treasury has ample funds for the present and that there will be no embarrassment before J uly first. The coinage of the seignor age came in for a share of the discus sion. Senator Wolcott offered an amendment compelling the coinage of not less than $4,000,000 a month. fleanlng of norro Castle. Many persons are wondering that there is a "morro castle" at Havana and a fort ofsimilar name at Santiago as well as one of that name at San Juan, Porto Rico. The explanation is that the Spanish word morro means ' o ti ir.V l rr TAnnH " TMrwiot.1 Tine nvw an eminence; an overhanging use oi a precipice;" a high headland looking towards the sea. Here, naturally a fort would be placed if there was a city near by to be defended and hence the association of the name with any Spanish fortification placed on an elevated harbor-guarding eminence.
