THE LOYAL T. GRAHAM.
A Hospl a! for Greensboro's Colored
Citizens.
The hospital for the colored people
of Greensboro has now reached that
point where it is only a question of time
until theinstitution will be open to
receive patients. The opening of this
hospital will make an advance in the
treatment of disease among the colored
people of the city and its influence in
adding to the general health will be
noticeable.
Below we present an outline of the
plans and a statement of work accom
plished toward perfecting this new en
terprise. The communication is from
Rev. S. S. Sevier, pastor of the con
gregational church, who is intrusted
with the securing of funds and man
agement. He deserves great credit for
the faithful work he has performed:
"The hospital for the colored peo
ple of .Greensboro is located in a neat
building on a lot 50x165 recently pur
chased of Mr. Ed. Wharton and deed-J
ed to a board of trustees. The insti
tution will be known as The Loyal T.
Graham Hospital for the negro. The
building is in course of preparation
for the reception of inmates and will
be in condition by October 1st. There
will be two wards in the building one
for males and the other for females.
Eah ward will contain three beds,
together with a free bed. One of the
beds has already been endowed by a
generous Christian lady of Philadel
phia. A trained nurse from one of
best northern hospitals will be placed
in full charge."
This institution deserves and will,
no doubt, secure liberal donations
from people of all classes. An appeal
is made to all to help -this worthy
cause.
Drugs to Be Advanced.
The local druggists in their meeting
of yesterday decided to advance the
prices of certain proprietary medicines
owing to the war tax and of some
drugs influenced by the tax or the in
creased demand for them, owing to
their consumption as war supplies.
All proprietary medicines now sold
below the regular published prices of
the manufacturers will be advanced to
such prices while some will continue
to be sold at the old prices. Some
drugs like sulphur, which is used so
largely in the manufacture of explo
sives, and some in demand in the sur
gical department of the army will also
be advanced. The new scale of prices
will go into effect on and a'ter July
the first. This action it is thought
will equitably distribute the burdens
of the war tax as between dealer and
consumer.
Of Interest to Cyclists.
Work is progressing rapidly and
satisfactorily for the road race on the
Fourth and it now seems that the race
will be a success. The road will be in
good shape and free from all vehicles
and other obstructions. The race will
begin at 5 o'clock, immediately fol
lowing the boys contest. Some inter
est is manifested by cyclists in other
towns throughout the state and Mr.
Wingate is hopeful that a large num
ber of riders will send in their names.
The admission fee for each contestant
is fifty cents.
A Great Game.
The attention of sporting editors
who would know how a game of base
ball should be reported is respectfully
called to the following, printed as
handed in:
The game of base ball yesterday
betwen Winston V. S. Greensboro,
was very Interesting game the score
was six six Greensboro would had win
all of the players would had win all
of the players except two had wagon
wheel in thair head One player lost a

Various Expounders.
Maj. Chas.M. Stedmanand Col. Jno.
A. Barringer, two veteran expound
ers of the law left this morning for
Gibsonville where Major Stedman will
prosecute a colored expounder of the
gospel for beating a woman. Col.
Barringer will uphold the gospel ex
positor and show His Honor, the jus
tice, that the woman needed the whip
ping, that the Reverend gentleman
did not whip her or that moral sua
sion was wholly inadequate to the de
mands of the case.
In Good Health.
Surgeon Brooks, of the Second Reg
iment, says: "We have now only thir
ty cases in the hospital, about half of
measles. One case of insanity has de
veloped. It is the second. The first
was transferred to the asylum here.
That was of a man named Kennedy,
from Charlotte. Private Abell, of the
Nantahala company, who has menin
getis, is much better." Col. Olds.
CAPTAIN SIGSBEE'S REVENGE,
The St. Paul Puts The Terror
Hors de Combat.
WATSON'S WORK CUT OUT.
He Has Gone to Get His Squadron.
Will Miles Take Charge of Opera,
tlons at Santiago?
By Wire to Thk Telegram.
Washington, June 28 - Captain
Sigsbee, of the auxiliary cruiser St.
Paul, reports an attack on his vessel
by an unprotected Spanish cruiser and
the torpedo destroyer Terror last
Wednesday afternoon off San Juan
de Puerto Ricor The Terror made a
dash for the American boat. The St.
Paul quietly awaited her approach
and when the Terror was in good
range opened fire. The Terror was
hit three times, an officer and two men
were killed and three wounded. The
Terror dropped back under cover of
the fortifications making the trip with
great difficulty. She was later towed
into the harbor in a sinking condition
and is now being repaired at San
Juan.
WATSON'S CAMPAIGN.
Washington, June 28 It has been
decided that Commodore Watson's
first objective point will be the Canary
Islands where he will seize a base for
supplies. Having secured this he will
then proceed to the. coast of Spain and
bombard Ferrol, Cartagena, and Bar
celona, where ship yards are located.
Should the Spanish government recall
Admiral Camara, who is at the Suez
Canal, a great naval engagement will
take place in Spanish waters. His
fleet will be eventually reinforced by
the Brooklyn, Indiana, Columbia, St
Paul, St. Louis, and Minneapolis.
FLEET READY.
New York, June 28 Commodore
Watson sailed on the Newark today
for Santiago. His orders are impera
tive and he has been informed that he
will find his squadron ready for him
off the Cuban coast.
MILES WILL GO TO CUBA.
Washington, June 28 Secretary
Alger officially announced this morn
ing that General Miles would com
mand the next expedition to be sent to
Santiago.
SET-BACK FOR MILES.
Washington, June 28 It is stated
on the best of authority that President
McKinley after careful consideration
has decided not to -grant the request
of Major-General Miles that he be
sent to Santiago. In the judgment of
the president General Shafter is en
titled to all the crdit that may result
from the Santiago campaign. The
honor of directing American opera
tions before that city is naturally cov
eted for the reason that like Dewey's
achievement at Manila, it may result
in substantial promotion for the officer
highest in command. General Miles
however will soon leave on a tour of
inspection and will eventually see
Porto Rico.
FOURTH MANILA.
San Francisco, June 28 -General
Otis is busy with the reorganization
of the troops remaining here into a
fourth expedition to be sent to Ma
nila. The expedition will probably
consist of six thousand troops under
the command of Otis and it is thought
will be ready to sail not later than
July the ninth.
Special Train to Raleigh.
To the vestibule from the north this
morning was attached the private car
of third vice-president Finley, of the
Southern. The car was immediately
attached to a special train for Ral
eigh. The railroad commissioners
meet today and this fact very prob
ably accounts for Mr. Finley's haste
to reach the capital oity.
Thinks it Is All a Bluff.
London, June 28 The Washington
corr spondent of the Daily Chronicle
says: Spain is to be frightened into
making peace. That is the meaning of
the theatrical announcement of the
Americana that a squadron is going to
Spain, announcement for which the
navy department, contrary to its cus
tom, has sought the widest publicity.
President McKinley sincerely hopes
the fleet will never sail."
$1,000 for Making the Medals.
Washington, June 27 After the
president's message in regard to Lieu
tenant Newcomb and Captain Hodges
don was rsceived in the senate today.
Senator Frye introduced a bill pre
pared at the navy department carrying
the president's recommendations into
effect. The resolution appropriates
$1,000 for the manufacture of medals.

tant General was very indignant atthis
effort to import South Carolinians. He
sent the following telegram to Toole:

Rock Hill. As we do not want any
soldiers from South Carolina, I have
deducted 75 from your 109. You can
bring only 40, and I will get you 75

ston, Greensboro, and Durham to
rendezvous at Fort Macon Thursday.
These aggregate 550. The other 500
ordered to rendezvous there Saturday

necessary to complete the regiment.
This will give a margin of nearly 200
for rejections by the surgeons. Col.

Smallpox In Catawba.
Newton, June 27 A family of ne
groes in the eastern part of the county
were suspected of having smallpox.
The case was reported to the county
health authorities, who at once pro
cured Dr. H. F. Long, of Statesville,
to make an examination. He reports
five patients in this family as undoubt
edly having smallpox in its different
stages, though it is of a mild form.
The report also shows that it came to
this family through the same negro
who spread the disease at Statesville
and Belmont, he having, stayed all
night at this house about five weeks
ago.
These parties infected are now quar
antined, and it is hoped the disease
will be checked. Charlotte Observer.
