THE HONOR AND RESPONSIBILITY ''Nothing Has Occurred to Strengthen the Republican Party or to - Weaken Ours." Roxboro, N. C., July 27, '98. Messrs. J. Crawford Biggs, John N. Wilson, A. L. Brooks, and A. E. Walters, Committee, etc., Greens boro, N. C. Gentlemen: Yours of late date in forming me that the democratic con vention, assembled in dreensboro 21st instant, by acclamation nominated me to represent this district in the Fifty Sixth Congress, has been received. I appreciate the great honor and also the great responsibility conferred upon me. Being in full accord with our national and state platforms, and believing that a large major ity of the people of the district entertain the principles in them declared, and relying upon the earnest and active support of the dem ocracy, such as was given me two years ago, I confidently look forward to my election by a largely increased majority. Since the last election nothing has occurred to strengthen the republican party or to weaken ours. On the contrary the injustice and favoritism of republican princi ples and policies have become more evident and more oppressive, while the integrity and fidelity of our party to the interests of the gr2at masses of the people have increased its strength. The republican national administra tion has disappointed many of its early supporters, has fortified the sin gle gold-standard, has increased the burdens of taxation, and has failed to restore those prosperous conditions to our state which republican orators assured the people would follow re publican success. The prices of the great agricultural products, cotton and wheat were 25 per cent, higher when President McKinley was inaugurated than they are today. The republican state administration has given us examples of incompetence and scandal which would greatly dam age a party dependent upon virtue and intelligence for its existence. UDder it public offices have been apportioned for political purposes to preserve that which Bound principle does notsustain, true patriotism does not inspire, and the best interests of the people do not demand. Appreciating the support which pop ulists, in a spirit of patriotism, gave us two years ago, and desiring and expecting all sincere free coinage of silver and anti-trust men to hold up our hands in the coming contest we predict victory over the candidate whom the single gold standard party shall name and whom trusts shall sup port With great respect, Yours truly, W. W Kitchin. - Davie County Sheriff Sued. The county of Davie has brought suit against the bondsmen of ex-Sheriff Williams for about $3,509 which is said to be yet due. This case is to decide which of the bondsmen would have the amount to pay, there being three separate and distinct set of bondsmen. The general funds bonds men claim that the money that they were responsible for had been paid in but was afterward paid out as special funds. The special funds people claim that they hold receipts for all amounts that they are due and hence are not further responsible. The case, which ever way decided, Is likely to go to the higher courts.

Governor Tyler Protests, Richmond, July 29 Governor Ty ler tonight, at the urgent request of quarantine officers at Newport News and Old Point, sent to Surgeon General Sternburg of the army, a strong pro test against wounded soldiers from Cuba being landed at Fort Monroe. He called attention to the fact that the breaking out of yellow fever epidemic there, besides endangering the lives of thousantlsof people in Virginia, would also weaken,if it did not absolutely un man Fort Monroe, which guards the en trance; to Washington; would suspend work at the government navy yard at Norfolk, and would also cause 'he stoppage of all work on the men-of-war now in pro:n;ss of construction at tho private yards at Newport News. The Newport News and Old Point quarantine officers filed similar pro tests. Norfolk, some years before the civil war, suffered terribly from an epidemic of yellow fever. A Crippled Engine. The Winston train came in last night somewhat late and with a crip pled ei gine. When the train was near the junction the pin connecting the driving wheel broke off the rear wheel on the right hand side. The next rev olution of th front wheel threw the driving rod, which was then loose at one end, against a cross-tie with such force that the rod broke. The engi ner applied the brakes and the train was stopped before any further dam age was done. The engine was not badly damaged. You Are Risking Your Life.

Panic Stricken t)ver the Report that Cubans Will Govern the City. Sanitary Conditions There. Cable to The Tklbobam. Manila, via Hong Kong, July 30 General Merritt, accompanied by his troop transports, arrived here this morning (the 25th). The new arrivals were greeted with vigorous cheers from all of Admiral Dewey's ships. Admiral Dewey went immediately aboard the Newport to welcome Gen. Merritt. Merritt returned the call and as'he left the Olympia the salute guns could be heard easily by the Spanish in the city. The news quickly spread that the American general had arrived. All are well and the passage was smooth and agreeable. Tt was considered a quick trip, the transports ' arriving several days ahead of time. General Merritt immediately took command of the American forces at Manila. MERRITT JOINS DEWEY. Washington, July 30 A despatch received from General Merritt, who is in command of the forces sent to the Philippines, says: "Arrived here on twenty-fifth about twelve o'clock. Health of command good. Remainder of troops four days in the rear. All of the troops assigned will probably be needed." MARIA TERESA CAN BE SAVED.

Santiago, July 30 The Spanish residents and merchants of this city have been thrown into a state of ex citement verging on a panic by the re port that the Americans intend to withdraw from the city and leave the government in the hands of the Cu bans. SHAFT ER'S SANITARY REPORT.

Signed Shafter. General Shatter's despatch is caus ing much concern in official circles. First New Tobacco. Yesterday and today tobacco was the chief topic at the Banner ware house; the terms of peace and continu ation of the war had to take a back seat. Yesterday the Banner sold over $1,200 worth of tobacco shipped from other markets. Today the first new tobacco of the season was sold at the Banner and price was good. Greensboro is becoming more and more known as a tobacco market of the first order and the Banner is doing its share to extenl the repution. The new tobacco came from Rockingham couny. Another Smashup. As a public hack, driven by a col ored man named Williams, turned from South Elm into Lewis street at a 2:40 clip it smashed into a farmer's buggy breaking the front axle of the buggy and otherwise injuring it. Wil liams and the farmer immediately be gan to exchange courteous remarks but the farmer was the fastest talker and the conversation soon became too warm for Williams who jumped to his seat and drove rapidly away. Surrender Denied. Paris, May 29 A telegram from Madrid to the European edition of the New York Herald, says that a cable dispatch, has been received at the Spanish capital, announcing the surrender of Manila to Admiral Dewey. NOTHING KNOWN OFFICIALLY. Madrid, July 29 Nothing is known here, officially or otherwise concern ing the report that Manila has sur rendered to the American forces. MILES ISSUES A PROCLAMATION The American Army Comes Bearing Banners of Freedom. Ponce, Porto Rico, July 29 After Ponce had surrendered General Miles issued the following proclamation: "In the prosecution of the war against the Kingdom of Spain by the people of the United States, in the cause of liberty, justice and humanity its military forces have come to oc cupy the island of Porto Rico. They come bearing banners of freedom, in spired by the noble purpose to seek the enemies of our government and of yours, to destroy or capture all in armed resistance. . - "They bring you the fostering arms of a free people, whose greatest power is justice and- humanity to all living within their fold. Hence they release you from your former political rela tions and, it is hoped for a cheerful acceptance of the government of the United States. "The chief object of American mili tary forces will be to overthrow the armed authority -of Spain and give the people of your beautiful island the largest measure of liberty consistent with this military occupation. "They have not come to make war on the people of the country, who for centuries have been oppressed. But, on the contrary, they bring protection, not only to yourselves, but to your property, promote your prosperity and bestow the immunities and blessings of our enlightened and liberal institu tions and government. "It is not their purpose to interfere with existing laws and customs which are wholesale and beneficial to the people, so long as they conform to the rule of the military administration, order and justice. "This is not a war of devastation and desolation, but one to give all within the control of military and naval forces the advantages and blesB- ings of enlighted civilization." WOULD CONTINUE THE WAR. Rather Than Yield Philippines Spain Will Struggle On. Washington, July 29 It was stated tonight in a high diplomatic quarter, in such manner as to give semi-official character to the expression that if American control or supervision of the Philippines was an indespensable con dition laid down as the basis for peace negotiations, it was practically certain the Spanish government would not ac cede to this condition, but would de termine rather to continue the war. As t the other peace conditions un derstood to have been decided upon by the cabinet today, those who are best able to judge the disposition of the Spanish government feel that while terms are hard, yet they do not present any insurmounta ble barrier to the speedy re storation of peace, and while there is no authority for saying Spain would accept them and retire from Cuba and Porto Rico, there is every indication that she will yield rather than con tinue a disastrious war. But the fur ture of the Philippines appears to be of as much concern to the Spanish government as it is to the American cabinet just now and there is even greater insistence on the continuance of Spanish sovereignty over this group than there is over the more valuable islands of. Cuba and Porto Rico. It is stated also that the fail ure to demand a nroney indemnity will be appreciated by the Spanish author ities as an act of noble generosity by the victors, and that this will in part reconcile the government to a com pliance with the other terms laid down. Carolina Boys in Camp. Port Royal, S. C. July 29 Every thing in camp very quiet at present. Fourth Sergeant O'Conno has been reduced to ranks. He was reduced to a corporal, but he preferred high pri vate in the rear ranks. Corporal For syth was made Fourth Sergeant in his place. Private Reid, of Lexington, N. C, is in the hospital very sick. He has heart trouble, and was taken very suddenly. The boys are getting up a crowd to go for a sail.

Glbara Is Now In The Possession Of The Americans TWO SCHOONERS ALSO CAPTURED Cabinet In Session And Will Dic tate Terms of Peace .to Spain Today Other Newa. By Wire to The Telegram. Key West, July 30 The city of Gibara,on the northeast coast of Cuba in the Province of Santiago, has sur rendered ta the American army. The information was brought by Ensign Snow in charge of aprizecrew aboard ihe Spanish schooner Gibara, which arrived here this morning. Ensign Snow says Admiral Samp son ordered the Nashville to enter the harbor and secure the surrender of the above named city. Her decks were cleared for action and she was ready to bombard if there was any resistance which, however, was not the case. The city has been evacuated and the Americans have taken possession of two schooners, which were found in the harbor there. They" were taken in charge by prize crews and will be brought to Key We9t. They are ex pected to arrive today. . Gibara was the only city of impor tance remaining .under Spanish rule in the Province of Santiago and was the port of Holguin. ANSWER TO SPAIN TODAY. Washington, July 30 The cabinet is in session today formulating a re ply to Spain's request for the presen tation of terms of peace. The answer will be given to the Spanish "represen tive today. SOME ENGLISH VIEWS. Newspapers Discuss Some Possible Terms of Peace. London, July 30 Except upon the unsettled point of the Philippines, the main lines of the terms were already discounted here. The editorials in the morning papers generally regard them as evidence of a desire on the part of the United States to treat Spain gener ously and to limit, so far as possible, the extension of America's administra tive responsibilities beyond the seas. The pampers agree that there is no lim ited liability in warfare. Spain is naturally sore, but, they point out.she must put up with the loss of Porto Rico, and if she is well advised she will close with the American terms. The Morning Post, however? says: "Since the United States haveOf'd to take Porto Rico, there is no need to be fastidious about Cuba. It must be seen now that the resolution of con gress was an unnecessary tying of hands. If it is consistent with justice and morality to annex Porto Rico, it cannot be wicked or unjust to annex Cuba. The spectacle of a government after a succession of victories, spend ing days in discussing a reply to a re quest for terms of peace is a novelty by no means agreeable.' The art of seeing how the wind blows is of very little use for directing a ship in a storm." The Daily Chronicle is for the an nexation of the Philippines and thinks "it will not be an easy task to bring General Merritt and his army back with nothing to show but a coaling station " The paper says: "We are impatient with American modesty in believing the task of governing the Philippines too much for the United States. It must be admitted that a grave danger looms in German ambi tions, but no other power will object to annexation. England has already has informed Washington to that ef fect and Europe, with the exception of Spaia and Germany, would be relieved if the United States decided on the di rection of the Philippines." The Standard adyises Spain to ac cept the terms and is not surprised that America does not intend to annex the Philippines. It says: "If German temper bad been officially manifested, the Philippines would have been an nexed just to show that America was not to be bullied. We would be glad if she did annex them and, in any case, we do not believe that she will like the idea of Spain sending the Cuban army to the Philippines." The Daily Mail says: "We cannot believe that President McKinley will abandon Aguinaldo and the insur gents. It would be the deepest dis honor, besides sowing the seeds of universal war. A joint commission could not arrive at an enduring com promise. ' ' In the Daily Mail's opinion an in demnity of from 6,000,000 to 7,000, 000 ($30,000,000 to $35,000,000) will be demanded for the loss of the Maine."
