Pageantry and Oratory. the Or
der of the Day.
A VAST CONCOURSE PRESENT
Speeches of Judge DougUs and Mr.
Taylor A Historic Day In Many
Ways The Road Races.
Yesterday was a day of pageantry
and patriotism, a day of pride for the
past and rejoicing in the present. It
is doubtful if in the history of Greens
boro, at leat, there has been a Fourth
of July when every one was so glad to
be an Amor.ican citizen and so fully
cognizant of what American citizen
ship means, j
From year to year, through the pa
triotic and untiring efforts of Judge
David f chonck, the Guilford Battle
Ground celebrations have grown in
excellence and popular interest. Yes
terday, in public and in private, he
was the recipient of many congratula
tions upon the splendid success of his
efforts. The town, the country and
the state are due him thanks for pre
serving to after generations Guilford
Battle Ground with all its historic as
sociations. At ten in the morning a magnificent
parade, led by young ladies on horse
back, representing the states and fol
lowed by carriages decked in the na
tional colors and filled with prominent
speakers, by the fire companies with
their apparatus and the marshals of
the day on horseback, wended its way
through the streets. It was a fine
spetacle and was witnessed by thous
ands along the route.
Besides the large number who went
out on horseback, on wheels and in
carriages the special trains over the
C. F. and Y. V. railway, at intervals
of forty minutes, were filled to .the
full capacity of standing rpom. It is
estimate d that between 7,000 and 8,000
people were present when Col. Joseph
Morehead arose to introduce Rev. L.
W. Crawford, who opened the exer
cises with prayer. The deepest rever
ence was manifested by the crowd
while the Rev. Mr. Crawford" uttered
a prayer of fervent thanksgiving for
the blessings of freedom, the news of
victory from our army at the front
and asked a divine blessing on the
wounded, who fell fighting for hu
manity. The orator of the day, Judge Robt.
M. Douglas was next introduced. The
speaker delivered a most polished and
eloquent address upon the "Life and
Character of Governor Alexander
Martin." The address, in full, was too
lengthy for publication, but the open
ing remarks were so timely that they
are given. Judge Douglas said:
Mr. President: We meet here today
to celebrate the anniversary of a na
tion's birth on a spot consecrated by
the -life blood of her faithful sons
freely given in her defense in the
weakest hour of her infancy.
It is hard to realize that only one
hundred and twenty-two years have
passed since that starry flag was first
given to the free air of its native
heaven. Today it floats on every sea,
representing a nation whose material
power dominates the western hemis
phere, and casts its broadening shadow
across the world. Infinitely greater
is the influence of the moral principles
which it represents as the emblem of
the most perfect union of liberty and
of law that the world has ever seen.
A careful study of the birth, growth
and decline of the great nations and
peoples within historic times, which
seem to have; been regulated by some
fixed laws whose nature we cannot
comprehend ,; but "whose existence we
are forced to admit, plainly indicates
that we are yet far from the meridian
of our national life. What ourfuture
may be no human judgment can fore
tell; but I have a firm conviction that
the future destinies of the world are in
the hands of the English speaking peo
ple. One in blood and in language,
governed substantially by the same
laws and moved by the same high as
pirations, separated alone by the nat
ural landmarks that define the limits
of their respective influence, they will
go on together in perfect harmony, in
the accomplishment of their great mis
sion, with a single purpose and per
haps to a common destiny.
Already the magnificent empire of
Spain has gone to decay and her im
perial power lies with her sunken fleet
in Manila bay, both mere memories of
the past. She is still keeping up a
hopeless contest for dynastic reasons,
but Sampson is guns are tolling the
death knell of her dominion on the
great continent she once claimed by
right of discovery and of conquest
Whatever may be the results of th
war, as to territorial expansion, it
entered into with evident reluctan
M

the American .people, and only fr
the highest sense of national duty an
self protection. Once in, we know bu
one way out.
Terrible as war must always be it
has its compensations in the patriotism
it engenders and the heroism it devel
ops, i; In spite of our sorrow, we can
not but feel a mournful . pride that
North Carolina, ever last in the quar
rel and first in the fight, offered up
the first sacrifice upon the altar of our'
re-united land.
Our own Worth Bagley, brave as
the bravest, and tender, loving and
true as becomes the . brave, standing
at the post of duty and smiling, gently
in the face of danger, calmly met the
embrace of death.
Nations, like individuals, have their
infancy as welt as their manhood; and
the patriot who guards the cradle oi
a new born state deserves fully as
much as the hero who follows its con
quering banner in the full tide of its
imperial power. Rome, stern, heroic
Rome, not only deified her founder,
but held in the highest veneration and
perpetuated in the most enduring form,
the memory of- the she wolf which
suckled him in his helpless infancy on
the Palatine Bill.
The glorious victory of Manila, in
its completeness, was not as important
in itself or m its effect upon the des
tinies of mankind, as the battle of
Guilford Court House. Had there
been no Guilford Court House there
could have been no Yorktown; and
had there been no Yorktown there
could have been no Manila. The roar
of Dewey's 8 inch guns was, in his
toric result, but the echo of the squir
rel rifles fired across yonder field by
the Guilford militia.
Since the devoted labors of Judge
Schenck but little is left to be said
about the battle itself: and so it has
become usual for the annual orators
to select some revolutionary personage
as the subject of his address. Custom,
as well as a certain degree of necessity,
has generally imposed this duty upon
some kinsman of the patriotic dead.
As the old Romans thought the duty
of eulogy rested upon the nearest pur
viving relative, under the idea that he
was best qualified to speak of the vir
tures of the deceased; so it is thought
that those who proudly claim the kin
dred blood .will make the greatest
effort to collect from the scattered and
exceedingly imperfect records of that
period the necessary facts to perpetu
ate the memory of our illustrious dead.
Thus I am here today to give a brief
outline of the Ufa and character of
Governor Alexander Martin.
After Judge Douglas had received
the congratulations of his friends, Mr.
Z. V. Taylor, was introduced and pre
sented a fine portrait of Washington
in behalf of the artist, Mr. David L.
Clark, of High Point. Mr. Taylor is
fast winning laurels -as one of the most
eloquent young speakers of the state
and he ably sustained the expectations
of his friends. Mr. Taylor said:
"Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle
men: In speaking of the heroism of that
little band under General . Ramseur
which protected Lee's rear while he
was retreating from the fatal field of
Gettysburg, Virginius Dabney in sing
ling out the North Carolinians by
name .declares that he does it not
more on account of their valor than
their modesty. And while it is true
that modesty isa virtue most highly
to be prized, yet I must declare that it
is indeed hard fqr me to understand
that modesty which stands patiently by
and sees the flower of its manhood
lay down their lives in defence'of
a glorious cause and allow others, who
contributed not one half the men or
one fourth the valor, to claim, and be
accredited with, all the glory.
That modesty is to me hard to un
derstand, but if it be hard to under
stand how utterly incomprehensible is
that spirit sometimes miscalled mod
estywhich sits calmly by and hears
the fair names of its Revolutionary
heroes blackened by slander without
raising a vice in protest. That spirit
of malicious envy whioh seems to have
been the curse of all nations yand of
all times, and which naught delights
so much as to be able to cast a smirch
upon the character of true manhood
and virtue, in those days pointed the
fi nger of reproach at men whpse shoes
they unworthy to loose and our own
people have not only made no effort
to refute these falsehoods, but in many
instances have given credence thereto
by quoting with approval
Mr. President, those of us who re
membered this spot as it existed a few
years ago-ra tangled forest and see
it now in,a!l of its beauty, have cause
to remember with gratitude your pa

history. Our bosoms Bwell with pride

Take the City.
By Wire to Tbb Tdjgbah.
Washington, July 5 Despatches
were received, this morning from Gen.
Shafter .which the officials refuse to
divulge. The despatches probably
tell of Pando's entering Santiago with
reinforcements. Vrhe various depart
ments are waiting with the greatest
anxiety for news of the bombardment
which Shafter announced would begin
at noon today. The arrival of Pando
and his troops and their entrance of
the city, despite the efforts of Garcia
to keep them out, adds greatly to the
uncertainty of the situation. Gret
reliet will be felt in all quarters here
whenews of a successful onslaught on
the citor is received. Greater haste
was sh4wn this' morning in sending re
inforcements and ammunition to Shaf
ter. GaVretson's brigade of the third
army corps will be sent to Santiago
from Charleston tomorrow by the fast
est ships Available, probably by the
Harvard, olumbia and Yale. The
eighth Ohm regiment started for New
York this mcrning, where it will em
bark on the St. Paul. General Henry
and his staff 11 accompany the expe-
dition. The siith Massachusetts and
sixth Illinois regiments will embark
from Charleston? The Grand Duchess
Bons has been secired to transport the
first Rhode Island and it will embark
at once on that vtsseL The officials
expect to hove 10,(XX additional troops
under Shafter by the end of the week.
ORDERS TO SAMPON.
Washington, July i Secretary Al
ger states that he has tabled Admiral
and General Shafter to hold a confer
ence and formulate a plan io co-operate
in the attack upon Santiago. The
feeling prevails that the siege of the
city will be prosecuted with the utmost
vigor since the refusal tf Linares to
surrender. !

WAITING FOR WATSdN.
London, July 5 -Despatches from
Gibraltar state that in anticipation of
the arrival'of the American fleet under
Watson the German battleship Olden
burg has been sent to Tangier to pro
tect German interests. The Americans
can take Tangier wit&iout difficulty
and use it as a naval base for opera
tions against the coasts of Spain.
SPANISH CRUISER BURNING.,
Gibraltar, June 5 The Spanish
Cruiser Alfonso XII lately arrived
from Cuba, is afire- The vessel had
been used as a troop ship. The dis
patch seems to indicate that the fire
was accidental.
TIME REQUIRED.
Washington, July 5 -At the navy
department it was said this morning
that it was not expected that Sampson
would be able to get into the harbor
to aid Shafter immediately. The forts
and batteries on shore are in good
condition and there are 120 mines still
intact in the channel leading to the
inner harbor. It is not probable that
the fleet will attempt to go into the
harbor at present or until the channel
can be cleared of its mines.
IN THE SUEZ AGAIN.
Port Said, July 5 The Spanish fleet
under Camara, with the exception of
the torpedo boats has entered the
Suez Canal.
CARRYING OFF BRITISHERS.

ships Pallas and Alert left here this

New York, July 5 The Mohawk and
Mississippi cleared from this port this
morning for Tampa under hurry - or

Tampa they will take on reinforce
ments for General Shafter. .
An Answer to Inquiries.
A number of people, -have enquired
as to why the Telegram did not issue
an exta yesterday. There were two
reasons:-
In the first place there was a specific
agreement made with the Daily Record
at ten o'clock 'in ' the morning that
neither paper would issue an extra.
. In;the second place "the Telegram
had agreed with the public to give the
news as bulletins and with its tired
compositors and pressmen to give them
a holiday.
A PLEASANT OUT1NQ.
The City Editor's Cruise Down Deep
" River. . -
On Tuesday morning, June 28, the
city editor and manager of the Tele
gram vln company with J. M. Phillips,
started from Ramseur in a canoe for a
cruise down Deep river. The boat
was built specially for this trip and
waj ad mi rally suited for the purpose.
Plentifully supplied with provisions,
breech loading "rifles and rapid fire
guas we weighed anchor and set sail.
The weather was "exceedingly favor
able and the rain on Sunday preced
ing had. raised the water so that going
down stream traveling was made quite
easy.
After two days of rowing through
the lakes and bounding through rapids,
dodging huge boulders and dangeroxis
whirlpools, we reached the Phillips
plantation about dusk of the second
day. It was a delightful trip. Rough?
Well, yes, in some places it was
rough; but yet we liked it. We ex
pected rough places, went prepared for
them and were not disappointed.
We found plenty of shooting along
the way; but did not stop to hunt until
weNreached the end of the journey
where we visited old familiar haunts,
and several beautiful nut crackers fell
at the crack of our rifles. The fish
did not suffer to any very alarming
extent and there are almost as many
in the river as there was before our
trip. There are fewer snakes and ter
rapins. Watermelons are not yet ripe along
the river, the orchards are too far
away and roasting ear corn is not yet
in silks, and consequently the farmers
have little causa to complain of dep
redations along the way.
It is impossible, however, to make a
trip like this without running the risk
of getting into trouble. While in the
old Howard or Moffitt mill pond a
water bird of gigantic proportions
made a splendid mark on the north
bank of the river among some limbs
and a rifle ball was sent whistling by
him. At this point the. river runs in a
northeast direction, A little further
on the river makes a sudden bend in a
southerly direction.' Just beyond this
bend and on the south side of the river
was a negro plowing a blind mare and
two negro women hoeing corn.
We were hailed by the man: "Say,
dat you men shootin' up de river?"
"Yes," I answered, "what of it?"
"Well, dat bullet come awhizzin'
'long by heah an' lak ter hitdis mare.
Ef she hadn't a seed it acomin' an'
dodge 'er head it'ud er hit her, sho'."
And both the women testified that his
statement was correct.
This incident is worth your atten
tion a moment. A bullet fired in a
northeasterly direction traveled due
south, was seen by a blind mare who
dodged her hopd in time to avoid be
ing killed. -
A Course In Spanish.
The University of North Carolina
will offer Spanish to all of its students
in the modern language department,
beginning with the fall term. The
course of modern language in most
colleges consists of French and Ger
man only, but Spanish is the North
American language and next to Eng
lish is spoken more largely than any
language on earth. In view of the
probable occupation of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines by American
arms and the consequent influx into
these countries of large numbers of
American youth, willing and anxious
to share in their upbuilding, a knowl
edge of the Spanish tongue is very
necessaiy.
It is said on high authority that the
governor has no authority to appoint
officers to fill vacancies in regiments
after muster-in.
Our baby has been continually
troubled with colic and cholera infan
tum since his birth, and all that we
could do' for him did not seem to give
more than temporary relief, until we
tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. Since giving
that remedy he has not been troubled.
We want to give yoa this testimonial
as an evidence of our gratitude, not
that you need it to advertise your mer
itorious remedy. G. M. Law, Keokuk

THE HARBOR?
Signal Officers Cable General
OreefyfhatHe Is.
SANTIAGO WOULD NOT YIELD
Bombardment Began at Noon Shaf
ter Expects an Attack on His
Position Fighting at Manila.
Oh Sunday the Spanish fleet", under
Admiral Cervera, ran from the har
bor of Santiago by the sunken collier,
Merrimac and attempted to escape to
the open sea.
The Cristobal Colon, Cervera's flag
ship led the way, closely followed by
the Almir ante Oquendo, Infanta Ma
ria Teresa and Vizcaya, and two tor
pedo boat destroyers,' the Furor and
the Pluton. They passed out under
full steam and were immediately en
gaged by the United States battleships
Iowa, Indiana, Oregon, Massachu
setts, Texas, Brooklyn and the con
verted yacht Gloucester formerly the
Corsair. The Furor and Pluton were
destroyed within four miles- of the
harbor and all the others were ' blown
up, burned or sunk within twenty
miles, except the Cristobal Colon
which succeeded in getting about sixty
miles away, but was run down and
captured with the Spanish Admiral
on board.
A, despatch from Commander Wat
son says that 350 Spaniards were
drowned or killed, 160 wounded and
1,600 captured.
American loss, one man on board
the Brooklyn, Chief Yeoman Ellis,
and only one Juan wounded.
Santiago was summoned to surren
der at noon on yesterday and given
twenty-four hours to surrender. . The
bombardment probably began at noon
today as appears from despatches be
low. SAMPSON IN THE HARBOR?
Washington, July 5 Gen. Greeley,
chief of the army signal service corps,
received despatches from signal ser
vice officers at the front' just before
noon today stating that Sampson had
forced the channel and was then in the
inner harbor of Santiago.
. FIGHTING AT MANILA.
London, July -5 Advices received
from Manila via Hong Kong state
that the Spanish leader, Gen. Augus
tin, made a sortie in force for the
purpose of . repairing the aqueduct
which supplies water to the city. The
insurgents concentrated their forces
and after several hours of fierce fight
ing drove the Spaniards back into
the city. Both sides suffered severe
losses in the battle.
SAMPSON TO AID SHAFTER.
Washington, July 5 Advices have
been received from Admiral Sampson
stating that he has endeavored to ex
plode the mines in the channel leading
to the inner harbor of Santiago but
had succeeded in detonating a few of
them only. The Spanish batteries at
Smith Island, Morro Castle and La
Socapa are still active and are
manned. They fired on the American
ships this morning when near the
mouth of the harbor. The administra
tion, despite the batteries and mines,
expects Sampson tp force the channel
and co-operate with Shafter from the
inner harbor in the attack on Santia
go. It is stated this morning that the
Spaniards, probably encouraged by
the arrival of Pando with five thousand
reinforcements, have refused to sur
render in reply to the demand of Shaf
ter who has expressed a determi
nation to begin the bombardment
of the city at noon today in accord
ance with his notice.
READY TO OPEN FIRE.
Siboney, via Kingston July 5 6 a.
m Already the men are at the front
and manning the batteries planted on
the ridges frowning down on Santiago.
The gunners are eagerly awaiting the
signal to open fire on the doomed city.
After the receipt of Linares' refusal to
surrender the city, General Shafter de
cided that no time was to be lost in
carrying into effect his threat to bom
bard and lay siege to the city. The
respite ot twenty-four hours was grant
ed at- the-req1 nest ofjthe foreign consuls
in Santiago a,nd was a keen- disap
pointment to VjJhafter, especially as it
gave Pando time to arrive with his
troops. Since! the arrival of re-en-forcements
it is expected the Span
iards will make ft sortie in a desperate
attempt to dislodge the American
troops from the j positions they have
secured or to break through the Amer
ican lines and so egeape. General
Shafter has nq fear that such an at
tempt will suceed.
