Matters Attended to By the Board of Aldermen Last Night. The board of aldermen met last night, all 'present except Alderman Shaw. The mayor was in the chair. The school committee made a report recommending the payment to the State Normal College of an increased allowance to meet the growing de mands of the graded school taught at the college. Adopted. Applications for license to retail liquor were considered. E. G. New. comb, J. R. Coble, E. G. West, R. P. Gorrell, C. H. Coble, S. J. McCauley, and B. J. Fisher, were recommended for license. The consideration of the application of Braxton Armon was continued. The board fixed the salary of the city engineer at $50 per month. The election of city engineer was postponed until next meeting. The board's attention was called to the condition of the town clock, and on motion of Alderman Pickard a committee of two was appointed to look into the matter. The clock needs painting and a canvass is needed to cover the works. A proposition was received from C. E. Holton and J. C. Murchison in regard to putting drain pipes across E. Market street. Referred to street committee with power to act. Alderman Lewis asked that the fire engine house be connected with the sewer. Referred to firemen's commit tee. The license or privilege tax was fixed the same as last year. The plans for a bridge across North Buffalo near the water works was pre sented. Alderman McKinney moved that the plans as drawn be accepted, and the street committee be authorized to build the bridge. Adjourned. L1NNEY STILL HOPEFUL, The Report That He Admitted His Defeat is Untrue. A report sent last Wednesday from the twin-cities stated that Mr. R, Z. Linney had admitted to Congressman Skinner that he was already defeated for the nomination as representative of the Eighth district. This report is entirely false as the two dispatches to the. Charlotte Observer, given below, prove: Editor of the Observer: The report in the newspapers that I admitted to Congressman Skinner that I was defeated is false. Mr. Skinner has wired The Observer that it is false. No one but a moral idiot, operating an incubator to hatch lies, would have started such a report. Please let this mild denial appear in The Observer. Very truly, R. Z. Linney. On Train, June 23, 1898. Editor of The Observer; The published statement that Repre sentative Linney had admitted to me that he was defeated, is absolutely false. Harry Skinner. Washington, June 23, 1898. The Singin Skule Good and Funny. The "Singin Skule" which the ladies of West Market Street Church are preparing to present at the court house Friday night, July 1st, has been a great laughing success all through the south. The Wilmington Messenger of January 5th says: "Mr. Jededlah Bobbins 'Singing Skule' was presented last evening in the spacious Y. M. C. A. auditorium and met with fine suc cess. The entertainment was of course funny and was produced by a large cast of Wilmington's talented young people, each costumed in accord with the character he or she played. Mr. Bertram's Precilly Bobbins and Mr. Willard's Jedediah Bobbins were very amusing characters. In fact the entire performance was highly amusing and entertaining. Each of the participants was the recipient of hearty applause." Oreatly Enjoyed. Mr. J. H. West, who as a caterer has few equals, brought intd-the Tele gram office a freezer of his cream this afternoon. The cream was splendid and was much enjoyed. Mr. West has the everlasting thanks of the whole force for his thoughtfulness and gen erosity . Had a Finger Mashed. While examining some' new cider mills received by the Greensboro Hardware company today Mr. M. C. Stewart, one of the firm, had the mis fortune to catch the middle of his left hand in some cog-wheels. The end of jthe finger was badly mashed and caused Mr. Stewart severe pain for awhile. The finger was dressed and Mr. Stewart returned to the store and further examined the mill with"hands off and eyes on." i . . .

By Cable to Thb Telbgkaj. Plaza del Este, June 25 Later re ports indicate yesterday's action as much graver than the first information received stated. The rough riders un doubtedly fought against great odds as the Spaniards had much the best position though In numbers the con tending troops were about equal. The official list of the injured is withheld by the medical department. Colonel Wood's first report states that ten were killed and forty wounded. It is generally accepted that the advance on Santiago will be a succession of bush whacking. The following is the latest list ob tainable of the persons killed in yes terday's battle: Capt. Dapron, Ser geant Hamilton Fish, Jr., Privates Tillman, Doughtery, Crews Culver, Dawson, Heffner and Erwin, of the Rough Riders and Corporal Wheeler and privates Kolbe, York, Dickson, Lennark, Burling and Captain Luna, of the First cavalry of the Cuban army.

Knox was seriously wounded. Capt. Wainwright, reported wounded, is un injured. Capt. Capron was killed. Names of others killed and wounded unknown. Spaniards occupied a strongly entrenched position on a high hill and the firing lasted for an hour. The enemy was driven from the position which is now occupied by the Americans, about a mile and a half from Seville. The enemy retired to ward Santiago. SANTIAGO'S DEATH KNELL, Washington, June 25 General Miles believes a final concerted assault on Santiago began this morning and will be continued until the city surrenders. Secretary Long received a cablegram from Admiral Sampson announcing a proposed bombardment of the harbor batteries to begin and continue until all of them are silenced. When this is accomplished he will force an en trance into the harbor. General Miles and Secretary Long both expect quick and decisive work by both arms of America's fighting force. SANTIAGO BY SUNDAY. Port Antonia, June 25 The latest despatches from the army estimate that the American troops will storm the outside intrenchments today and will be at the gates of Santiago by Sunday. If capable of holding the advantage the Cubans will be given the post of honor. A junction has been formed between Generals Garcia and Castillo. It is reported the troops stand in great need of horses. THE SPANISH VERSION. Madrid, June 25 An official report from General Blanco says that in an attack by American soldiers on the Spaniards yesterday morning the YankeeB were repulsed and 1 put to flight with the Spaniards in hot pur suit, taking possession of ammunition and clothes left behind by the fleeing Americans.

Madrid, June 24 An official des patch from Porto Rico says that an American cruiser appeared off San Juan yesterday at noon. The Spanish cruiser Isabel II, and the torpedo boat Terror went out to fight her, and a battle followed in which the Span iards had one man killed and three wounded. The American ship re- tii ed. Washington, June 24 The navy department has not received any des patches confirming the report from Madrid that the Spanish cruiser Isa bel II. had an engagement with an American vessel off San Juan, Porto Rrco. The St. Paul or the St. Louis is supposed to be in that neighbor hood. . The Isabel II. is a third-class iron cruiser carrying eighteen guns. Admi ral Cervera 'left the Terror at Fort de France when his squadron sailed from Martinique, and she later went to San Juan. Of course none of our auxiliary cruisers would be authorized to give battle to any vessel of impor tant fighting power. Baseball Yesterday.

Peaceful Attack on Havana Plan nedOn to Porto Rico Spaniards Use Brass Cartridges. Bj Cable to The Ttclbgram Kingston, Jamaica, June 25 In cor respondence received from Fernandina Miller, second Spanish commander at Santiago, the true condition of Span ish troops is made known. The Gen erals says there is a scarcity of food , powder and ammunition and the in surgents have cut off every source of supplies. The troops are disheartened and are openly clamoring for surren der, expressing the opinion that the present war is murder, and Spain should never have entered into it. The General adds: "We were morally de feated from the first campaign and the war can now only result in loss of blood, treasure and credit." CAUSE OF DELAY. Washington, June 25 It is now known tlfat secret instructions were given to the commander of the cruiser Charleston, on his departure with four troopships to reinforce Admiral Dew ey, to stop at Gauban Island in the Ladrone group of islands and to dis mantle the fortifications there so the Monitor Monterey could coal, water and provision; on her arrival. The instructions are believed to have caused the delay in reaching Manila, but the navy department is confident that they are very near there now. SIGNAL CORPS OFF. Brooklyn, June 25 The United States volunteer signal corps left here this morning for Washington where they will receive equipments and in structions. THE CADIZ FLEET. London, June 25 A despatch from Algiers confirms the reports that the Cadiz fleet has passed the island of Pantellaria in the Mediterranian going east. TO PROTECT BRITISH INTERESTS. London, June 25 The British bat tleship Illustrious has sailed for Lis bon to protect British interests there in view of possible war developments. HAWAIIANS WILL AID US. San Francisco, June 25 Advices re ceived today from Honolulu say or ders have been issued to the members of the Hawaiian national guard to re port immediately to their commanding officers and receive equipment fitting them for duty. It is the intention of the ministry to be in readiness to aid the United States whether Hawaii is annexed to the United States or not. The people are hopeful of an early annexation. PLAN OF ATTACK ON HAVANA. Washington, June 25 An official says the probable plan of attack on Havana will be for the troops to sur round the city and take possession of the table lands in order to cover every point of approach, and to conduct a peaceful seige which would do away with large fatalities sure to follow an immediate attempt to storm the Span ish citadel and also place the troops in a healthful region. Not less than seventy-five thousand men would be needed if the plan should be adopted. USED BRASS CARTRIDGES. Washington. June 25 Advices re ceived from Camp McCalla, off Guan tanamo Bay,' state that in the captured ammunition from the Spaniards have been found large quantities of pure brass cartridges which in civilized warfare it is forbidden to be used. This explains the horrible mutilation of the bodies of dead American sol diers. TO INVADE PORTO RICO. Washington, June 25 General Miles and Secretary Alger, in conference to day, decided to reinforce General Shatter's army with fifteen thousand more troops. Miles is pushing ar rangements to land men in Porto Rico as soon as possible. PEACEFUL PATRIOTISM. London, June 25 All despatches from Madrid reflect great anxiety caused by Admiral Cervera's depatch and the present alarming political sit uation. The ministry does not anti cipate any trouble among the popu lation as patriotic feeling predomi nate, though they tend strongly toward peace and a desire for the immediate opening of negotiations looking to an end of the war. Not a Cabinet Maker. Paris, June 25 M. Feytral, who was asked by President Faure to f o rm a cabinet, has abandoned the task. COOK TURNED DOWN. Calvin D. Cowles Will Be Appointed Brigadier Oeneral. The strong opposition to the ap pointment of Charles A. Cook as brig adier general has been successful. Yesterday it was learned that Lieuten ant Colonel Calvin D. Cowles, Jr., of the First regiment, gets the place. The appointment of an old and trie army officer instead of a man whose expe rience in martial tactics is limited and had been gained by watching the evo lutions of his home company has met the approval of nearly every one. Col. Cowles entered West Point in 1869 and is the oldest graduate from North Carolina in the regular army. His nomination will probably be sent to the senate today and the problem that has worried various republican politicians throughout the state for several weeks is at last solved. Cowles is from Wilkes county. Today's Telegraphic Briefs. Whitehall Northbound Burlington express held up last night by two men, Engineer Fred Dempsey kUled.
