Thirteenth Anniversary Celebration Held Yesterday. The thirteenth anniversary of the Baptist orphanage was celebrated in fitting style yesterday. A large crowd of people, probably two thousand, at tended the exercises, which were high ly entertaining. From a special to the News and Observer we take the fol lowing account of the proceedings: Rev. Henry A. Brown, D. D., of Winston, one of the ablest preachers of North Carolina, more than sus tained his reputation in the spjendid sermon he preached. It was the plain old gospel story, but it was told with marvelous simplicity and great ten derness. It reached atd stirred the hearts of the vast multitude that crowd ed every inch of the magnificent audi torium. The songs of the children and espe cially those of the little people of the nursery were especially pleasing and elicited rounds of applause. In the afternoon Hon. C. B.Aycock, of Goldsboro, addressed the audience on "Heroism at the Home" in which he showed that great as are the splen did achievements of the Americans by land and sea, there are grander victo ries won every day in the thousands of homes in North Carolina, and they are won by the mothers of men, and that the true hero or heroine is not the soldier who stands undismayed under the fire of shot and shell, but it is he who faithfully and patiently per forms the duty that lies next to him. It was a splendid address, most hap pily conceived and delivered with great force. It was an earnest and fervent appeal for higher and nobler living, and MrT" Aycock was advised by more than one to quit the law, great as has been his success there, and go into the ministry. It was exactly suited to the occasion and more than met the expectation of his friends. The trustees of the orphanage were in session all day Tuesday and vre elected all the present officials. Hon. W. E. Daniels, of Weldon, tendered his resignation ns trustee and Mr. S. Mclntyre, of Lumberton, was elected to succeed him as trustee, and also as attorney for the board. Mr. John E. Ray, of Raleigh, was elected to suc ceed the late Dr. R. D. Flemming and Mr. R. W. Brooks, of Greensboro, to succeed the late Mr. Jno.L. Markham. These are all capital selections. They are laymen and practical business men. The reports of the general manager and the treasurer were excellent. The board is delighted to find the institu tion so well managed. There are 166 children present and they are very thoroughly drilled in both mental and physical exercise. General Manager Boone with his wife ha-: brought the institution to a high degree of efficiency and they have surrounded themselves with competent and faithful teachers and matrons. Several improvements are soon to be made here, chief among which is a system of water works. At present the institution is supplied from springs, but the physician and the general man ager urged the board to provide a supply of filtered water, and a commit tee was appointed to take the matter onder consideration. It is hoped also that another nursery bmllding will soon be added, as the present building is too small for the more than forty chaps between five and eight years old now gathered there. The outlook before the orphanage is more hopeful than ever before. The institution is the pride of the denomi nation, and while the contributions through the past year were large and liberal, greater prosperity is expected through the year to come. Accident at China Grove. The Salisbury Sun says a colored man named Geo. Hones was killed by a Southern train at China Grove last Monday night. He was run over by a portion of the train, his head split open and one leg cut off. It is thought the negro was asleep on the end of a sill when the train struck him. He was about 22 years old. Charleston Expedition Gets to Sea. Charleston, S. C, July 21-The ex pedition which started for Porto Rico Wednesday evening, finally got to sea today. The Grand Duchess and No. 30, with General Wilson and the Sec ond Third Wisconsin Regiments, spent the night oft Sumter. At 8 o'clock the tugs took them through the jetties. It was not until 8 o'clock tonight that they were followed by No. 21, carrying the Sixteenth Pennsylva nia and two companies . of the Sixth Illinois. The work of loading the last named vessel went busily forward all day. Some trouble was experienced in getting the 1,000 mules aboard, but otherwise the work wa9 done rapidly and without the least accident. The men of the Sixteenth were most en thusiastic over the chance of shortly seeing active service in Porto Rico, and they were given an enthusistic cheer by thousands of people who were assembled on the wharves. ALGER EXPECTS BIG NEWS By the first of Next Week from Porto Rico GET). GARCIA ISSUES A DECREE Orders the Cuban Recruits to Return to Their Farming Operations May Disband Cuban Forces.

No coroboration of the report that Watson's fleet has been disbanded can be found.

GARCIA ISSUES A DECRKK. Santiargo, July 21 Delayed The greater part of Gen. Garcia's army leaves at daybreak tomorrow.

We wish to disclaim any intention to unjustly criticise the railroads of the state in our article of yesterday on the refusal to grant the usual courtesy of free transportation of apparatus, etc., to the firemen's tournament at Goldsboro. That what we said was entirely just, we think the facts will amply show. We quote from Mr. Mc Neill's letter of the 21st to Mr. Stone: "On July 8th I received notice that the free transportation courtesy would be gladly extended to us, etc., and gave notice accordingly to all depart ments. Now, at this late day, I am notified that the laws of the state pre vent the railroads from granting this courtesy and that they will be com pelled to charge full rate on all appa ratus." It is not to be for a moment pre sumed that the railroad authorities have remained ignorant for eighteen months of the laws governing them. The courtesy spoken of was granted the fire boys a year ago, and there hasn't been a law enacted in North Carolina since the legislature of Jan uary and February, 1897 eighteen months ago. If it against the, law now it was against the law a year ago. The railroad commissioners are mere ly judges not legislators. They have no power to make, alter or amend laws. From whence then, sprung this new law between July 8th and July 2lst ? The fire boys are entitled to the highest consideration, and it is our duty to say they have not been fairly dealt with. They have been allowed to get everything in readiness, believ ing the usual courtesy would be ex tended, and three or four days before the tournament meets the "courtesy" is withdrawn. That they have the right to withdraw it we do not question ; but we do say that it was unjust to the fire depart ments to lead them to believe the cour tesy would be granted, and at the last moment notify them it could not be done.

HOBSON IN NEW YORK He is rendered an Enthusiastic Impromptu Receptlou. CARRIED IMPORTANT MESSAGES Secret Communications to the Pres ident Also Sampsons Report of Sinking Cervera's Fleet. By Wire to Thk Telegram. New York, July 22 Lieutenant Rich mond Pearson Hobson arrived here this morning very unexpectedly on the cruiser St. Paul. He brings the most important messages received here since the late stirring scenes at Santiago. Sampson's report of the sinking of Cervera's fleet, the capture of various ships by the fleet and secret messages for President McKinley are in his cus tody. Not until Hobson stepped on deck of the St. Paul, shortly after 9 o'clock to take a boat for the shore, did his identity become known. As he stepped ashore one of the most enthusiastic receptions ever given to a war hero greeted him. The officers and crew of the Newport threw discip line to the winds and crowded about the dock, mingling with the hundreds of citizens who had got aews of his arri val, and there was much cheering and many congratulations for the most daring hero of the war. Hobson left shortly after his arrival for Washington. ITALIAN WARSHIPS ON THE PATH Italy is Trying to Collect Indemnity from Columbia. By Cable to The Telegram Rome,July 22 The Italian warships Piemonte and Dongali have sailed for Lisbon, but the real destination is not known. It is believed, however, they are bound for Columbia. It is stated that Admiral Candiani has been au thorized to bombard and occupy Car tagena, one of the most important cit ies in the United States of Columml and one of the oldest on the Western Hemisphere. While under Spain this city was one of her most important strongholds. The claim of Italy grew out of the damages sustained by Italian citizens in the revolution of 188G. The claim for indemnity was referred to Presi dent Grover Cleveland in 1895, and a decision was rendered in favor of Italy, and since that date . Italy has been trying to collect the indemnity. DEWEY'S WRECKS. Condition of the Warships Sunk in j Manila Bay. New York, July 21. -A correspon dent of The Journal, writing from Cavite, Manila, July 17th, relates the result of an inspection of the hulls of the Spanish warships sunk in Manila Bay by the squadron of Admiral Dewey. The cruiser Reina Cristina shows the most complete destruction. The course of the Olympia's 8-inch shell is clearly traced by a line of ruin extending from her stern to her waist. All her wood work is totally destroyed. There are very large shot holes through her hull, the principal ones being from a 6-inch shell amidships .and from some 4-inch shells. Charred human re man remains were seen in several places. A large heap of remains near where the ladder stood shows that a rnsh to escape was made by the engin eer's force. All were lost, as the hatches to the engine and fire-rooms were1 closed . The Don Antonio de Ulloa did not burn. She sank quietly, riddled by shells of all sizes. The greatest havoc was done by the 6-inch shell. A num ber of dead bodies, all huddled togeth er near the leading to the superstruct ure, shows that the men were killed by a sheel as they were attempting to lift the treasure chest to the superstructure to save it. The cruiser Castilla was less burned but was terribly wrecked. There are plain traces where six big shells tore immense holes in her wooden hull. When the fire started the weight of the guns caved the hull inward. The warship is now a mass of twisted iron and charred beams, a very bad wreck, resembling that of the Maine, in ap pearance. Everything aft from the en- gineroom was shattered Three large shells entered amidships. The number of deaths was not so large as on the Reina Cristina. Check Your Dog. Notice to all owners of dogs in the city: You are hereby notified to call on me or any one of the police officers and procure a check for your dog, which will cost $1.00. All dogs found in the city that belong here without the proper check on will be impound ed and shot after August 1, 1898. July 18-2w. R. M. Rees, Chief Police. THE DECREE ANNULLED. Haytien Government Complies With A French Demand. By Cable to The Telegram. Port au Prince, July 22 It is re ported here that the Haytien govern ment has complied with the demand of the French government for the with drawal of the decree of expulsion which was recently issued against Madame Hermanee, a French subject residing in Port au Prince. The decree of expulsion was issued on the grounds that the person is dan gerous to the public security after the conflict with the wife of the President in the cathedral over the possession of a chair. The decree of expulsion will be annulled, thus closing the in cident. Not a Ten-Center. It seems that Linney's men regarded old man Stamper, of Alleghany, as a kind of a "ten-center. He says they approached him and offered him $200 for his influence and vote. He replied by drawing a shooting instrument and the Linney man retired briskly and offered to fall on the bosom of his boss and breathe his life out sweetly there," rather than risk any further the hazardous business of looking up additional "ten centers" for Linney's benefit. This all happened during the republican convention last week. .Train Robbers Repulsed. By wire to The Telegram. Fort Worth, Texas, July 22. A southbound Santa Fe train was held up near Saginaw last night by six men. They were repulsed by the train crew, but the whole party escaped The conductor was fatally wounded. THE MARKETS.
