EUREKA
WE NEED THEM.
A Few Thought as to the Necessity
Here For Street Cars.
Greensboro Is growing. This prop
osition is patent to &M-.
And sho deserves to grow. No one
will question or deny this.
She has unsurpassed railroad facil
ities. Everybody, knows this.
Geographically, no city in the state
can boast of a finer location.
Her educationaj advantages unsur
passed by none.
Religious and moral sentiment on
the upgrade.
Splendid churches and more being
built.
Manufacturing enterprises prosper
ous, and plenty of room for more.
A growing sentiment in favor of
better streets and country roads.
A movement on foot for the estab
lishment of a city park.
Merchants -live and hustling firms
in all branches of mercantile business.
Wholesale dealers in hardware,
shoes, dry goods, groceries, drugs,
etc., and more wholesale enterprises
in contemplation.
All these and moie may be mention
ed with pride. With a population of
12,000 or more, and her prospects for
a continual rapid growth it is high
time the matter of building an electric
street railway system was being con
sidered in all sincerity and earnest
ness.
Would it pay?j Yes, eventually.
With four colleges two white and
two colored in the suburbs and the
desire for residences out and away
from the business part of town there
is a splendid opeping here for the es
tablishment of a street car system.
It would help the city to grow. It
would increase the demand for outside
build' ng lots and what would help
the property owners in this respect
would also make business for the
street cars.
On commencement occasions and oc
casions of special entertainments at
the colleges the street cars would be
crowded.
Establish a park and a car system
and every evening in the summer
many people will spend a dime who
now stay at home and swelter because
they have nowhere to go and no way
to get there.
READY TO ATTACK flANILA.
Insurgents Confident of Success--Rebels
Strongly Entrenched.
New York, July 14 A copyright
dispatch to the World from its Manila
correspondent dated July 9th, says:
"I have just returned from a com
plete tour of the insurgent lines south
of Manila, going to the trenches with
in two hundred yards of the Spanish
lines. I found the rebels strongly in
trenched. There are 11,300 before
Mai ate ready to attack when ordered.
"They claim that they can take Ma
nila, and that plans are perfected for
attack, the 10th, on all sides of Ma
nila. "They predict success, and are as
sured the Spaniards are growing des
perate. Reports show a strong senti
ment favorable to surrender to the
Americans, but all favor fighting the
rebels, and if the insurgents attack
tomorrow it will probably resiilt in
great loss of life to both sides. There
are only two German warships in the
harbor. Two others are supposed to
be in the vicinity. ;
An Excursion Terminus.
Greensboro is fast getting up a re
putation as a terminus for excursions.
Hardly a week passes that there is not
one or more excursion parties here.
There are several reasons for this.
Greensboro is a growing city. Her
merchants believe in advertising.
They are liberal and" they offer in
ducements to people to come here and
purchase goods. People come here
for various reasons. They come to
buy goods, to see the improvement
that is being made, to sell produce,
to investigate the school advantages
of the city and the openinga for busi
ness enterprises. They often take ad
vantages of low rates offered by ex
cursions to do this. And they always
find a hearty welcome.
Overlooked.
The Progressive ; Farmer brings to
public attention a pleasant fact this:
"North Carolina newspaper men have
been so busy keeping up with Tar Heel
heroes in actual battle that it seems
they have overlooked the fact that a
North Carolina boy, Wm. P. Wooten,
graduated third in a class of fifty-seven
at West Point this year."
Don't (Jet Hot
Because the weather is warm. Buy
a pair of those new $3.00, $3.50, $4.00,
and $5.00 cool summer shoes just re
ceived at the Carolina Shoe company.
They are swell styles. S. B. Norris,

THE NEWS OF THE SURRENDER.
Received Aboard the Ships of Adml
Sampson's Squadron -- Was
Ready For Action.
By Cable to The Tkjsg ram.
With the Fleet, off Aqu adores, July
14 The news that Santiago had sur
rendered reached here at 3 o'clock this
afternoon. The end came swiftly and
and unexpectedly. The Santiago cam
paign was one in which all expected
a brilliant record to be made for
splended daring.
The slaughter was believed by many
officers of high rank to be just com
menced. The refusal of the Spanish
ty surrender was so emphatic and so
resent that all had entirely forsaken
the idea of a peaceful end. All looked
forward to a fierce and terrible Strug
gle, which was to begin at noon today
That the city's fortifications were
strong and the occupants were brave
all knew. Admiral Sampson's officers
all looked forward to the bloodiest
engagement of the campaign and when
the report came that General Toral
had surrendered Admiral Sampson
and his officers could scarcely credit it.
As the hour of noon appointed the
steamer Hist steamed close in shore
awaiting the signal from General
Miles to bee in the attack. As one
and two o'clock passed great excite
ment was manifested on the fleet. A
few minutes after two the Hist under a
full head of steam dashed toward the
flagship and displayed signals as she
passed onward.
The Oregon, the first in line, made
out the signal to mean that the enemy
had surrendered. Then cheer after
cheer burst from the officers on deck
which were picked up and echoed time
and again by the other vessels of the
fleet.
The surrender of General Toal
came in the nick of time as Admiral
Sampson was in position to drop
shells every two minutes in the heart
of the city which would have undoubt
edly demolished it before night.
AT SANTIAGO TODAY?
Santiago de Cuba, July 15 Only a
part of the army is now in the city of
Santiago. The main body will not,
according to the present plans of the
officials, enter the eity, but just a suf
ficient number to preserve order, also
the sick, and wounded.
While peace reigns high the com
mission is preparing and arranging
the terms of capitulation. This com
mission is composed of British Con
sul Robert Mason, General Tolan and
General Toral's chief of staff for
Spain, Generals Wheeler and Law-
ton and Captain Miley for the Ameri
cans.
The American army is almost beside
itself with joy. over the surrender.
Cheer after cheer and other noisy
demonstrations are being indulged in.
The men are now able to rise in their
trenches without feeling the breath of
Spanish bullets.
It is said that the surrender of Gen
eral Toral was just in time. In an
other half hour the bombardment
would have commenced.
TO DRAW OUT CAMARA.
Washington, July 15 Commodore
Watson will sail for Spain in less than
a week. The plan of action contem
plates an attack on some Spanish port
in order to draw out Admiral Cama
ra's fleet.
Camara is expected to reach Carta
gena by Sunday when he will most
probably send out scouts to watch for
the American squadron.
PLANS OF PROCEDURE.
The naval board has arranged the
following plans of procedure: Colliers
under convoy of the auxiliary
cruiser Yankee will be formed
at a point not far from the
coast of Spain. The squadron will
communicate freely with the home gov
ernment and the cruisers Minneapolis
and Columbia will be used as dispatch
boats for this purpose.
John Knows a Good Thing.
Great Britain has the most powerful
navy in the world. Untold millions
have been spent in its building, and
and the best brain of the island king
dom has been devoted to its improve
ment. Yet, impressed with the beha
vior of the American navy and ope'hly
acknowledging the superiority of its
methods, the British admiralty has
taken steps looking to the adoption of
the American system of gunnery and
open sea target practice. The accu
racy of the fire of the fire of the Amer
ican guns is the wonder of the world.

SENDER PAYS THE TAX.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue's Decision.
Washington, July 14 The Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue has deci
ded that all telegraphic messages must
be stamped by the senders as shown in
the following letter mailed today:
Western Union Telegraph Company,
"New York, N. Y.
"Gentlemen: "Upon the question
as to whose duty it is to affix a stamp
required by the act of June 13, 1898, to
each telegraphic message offered for
transmission, you are advised that
this office rules that this duty devolves
upon the person who makes, signs or
issues the message.
"Section 7 of the act provides that,
if any person or persons shall make,
sign or issue any instrument, docu
ment or paper of any description what
soever, without the same being duly
stamped for denoting the tax thereon,
the said person or persons shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
on conviction thereof, shall pay a fine
of not more than $100. Telegraphic
dispatches and messages are enumer
ated in the act as requiring the docu
mentary one cent stamp.
"Section 18 of the act imposes upon
the telegraph company a penalty of
$10 for transmitting any dispatch or
message that has not been stamped in
accordance with section 7.
"You are further advised that the
exemption of messages of the officials
and employes of railroad companies,
as provided in Section 18, is strictly
limited to the transmission of those
messages between stations on the re
spective systems of railroads of the
railroad companies. All dispatches
or messages of railroad officials and
employes sent from railroad stations
on their respective railroads, and de
stined for places beyond their respec
tive railroads must be stamped by the
makers, signers or issuers in accord
ance with Section 8.

ROYAL DECREE PUBLISHED
Practically Martial Law Declared
In Spain.
THE CARLISTS ARE FURIOUS.
Public Decree Accepted as Meaning
That Spain is Ready to Begin
Peace Negotiations.
By Cable to The Tklubam.
Madrid, July 15 The Official Ga
zette today published the Royal de
crees suspending throughout Spain
the rights of individuals as guaran
teed by the constitution.
The decree adds that tba government
will render an account to parliament
of the use it may make of this ireas
ure.
The publication of the decree is
generally accepted as being convinc
ing proof that the government of Spain
is now ready to sue for peace, and
also that negotiations to that effect
are actually In progress.
The government wishes to have full
power to suppress all evidences of a
rebellion. The Carliats are furious
and are sure to attempt to make trou
ble.
One official has expressed his con
viction that official overtures will be
drawn before Sunday.
There is every reason to believe
that France has offered her services
to Spain. Premier Saffasta says
Spain wants peace but it must be hon
orable peace, as Spain desires and is
aaxious to resist to ithe last but the
government cannot consent to useless
sacrifice. Had we our fleet the situa
tion would be different.
ARRIVED AT ANNAPOLIS.
Annapolis, July 15 Admiral Cer-
vera and his officers arrived this
morning on board the St. Louis.
EIGHT HUNDRED PRISONERS.
Portsmouth, N. H., July 15 The
Harvard arrived here this morning
having on board eight hundred pris
oners. MARTIAL LAW IN SPAIN.
Madrid, July 15 A decree was pub
lished this morning suspending
throughout all Spain the rights of in
dividuals as guaranteed by the consti
tution. This means practically the
same thing as martial law.
THE SUBIO BAY INCIDENT.
Said to Have Been More Serious Than
At First Reported.
London, July 15 The Daily Mail,
Hong Kong correspondent cables that
it is "now known here that Admiral
Dewey requested the correspondent at
Manila not to give the full story of
the Irene incident, for fear of arousing
feeling in America which might lead to
complications with Germany.
When the full details became known
it would be seen that the incident was
more serious that it first appeared to
be. As soon as the American ship
came on the scene of action in Subig
Bay the Irene slipped her cable, leav-
ng her anchor in the bay. American
Consul Wildman refuses to say more
than this, taking the same line of
policy as Admiral Dewey. It is be-
ieved by those who know Admiral
Dewey that on the arrival of the moni
tors Monterey and Monadnock, he
will insist upon his harbor regulations
being carried out to the letter. The
opinion among the foreigners at Ma
nila is that the Americans will never
forgive the Germans for their meddle
some attitude in the Philippines. It
will not only hurt Germany's chances
of havinga hand in the disposal of the
Philippines, if they should become
American property.
Prosperity In the South.
The establishment of a vast steel in
dustry at Birmingham, Ala., marks
a new era for that wonderful region of
raw material. The starting of such an
enterprise at this time is especially
auspicious. It bespeaks the prosper
ity not only of Birmingham and Ala
bama, but of the whole country. It
reveals the fact that ttie people of this
great country regard the war with
Spain as a mere "incident" which
should in no degree affect the even
tenor of business.
"Remember the flalne,"
Also those new foot form $3.00, $3.50,

markable values we are- selling for

A SUflMARY.
All Hall to the, American Army and
Navy.
All hail to the Americas army and
navy! The work which they have ac
complished, the victories which they
have won, are unparalleled in the his
tory of war. They have destroyed two
fleets of warships with an attendant
loss of 900 lives, and have captured a
Spanish stronghold, together with a
large section of Spanish possessions
and a Spanish army of 12,600 men.
These naval victories were accomp
lished at a loss of only one man and
of not a single ship. The surrender
of Toral ana his army, with a large
section of Cuba, was secured without
a great battle, though in the fighting
in advancing his army upon Santiago
General Shafter lost 250 men killed,
while the Spaniards lost 1,000.
The net results of the war to date
are overwhelmingly in favor of the
United States and may be summed up
briefly as follow:
The United States have lost 251 men
and no ships, and have no inen taken
prisoners.
Spain has lost two squadrons of 19
vessels, 1900 killed and over 12,000
taken prisoners.
And the end is not yet. Charlotte
