shipped in car load lots, on the hoof to

numbers are slaughtered right here and
served out to the city trade, or shipped in

Ih a very saucy editorial article the
Lokal Anzeiger, of Merlin, d dares "that
the interference of the uerm ni cruiser
Irene with the operations of tie Philip-
nine rebels in Subic Bay was none of
Dewey's business." Continuing, the
Lokal Anzeiger says: "We don't care a
fig if Dewey feels inclined to make com
mon causo witii the insurgent leader
Aguinaldo." Perhaps not; but if the
Germans felt inclined to make common
ause with the Spaniards they proved
their discretion by slipping out of range

Over 1700 troops sailed for Manila on
Friday last, and nearly 4,000 will go
this week on three large transport ships.
With the latter expedition the fleet of
transports available will nave been ex
hausted, and the next expedition will be
forced to await the return, early in Au
gust, of the first fleet, which set from San
Francisco on May 25 last. When all the
expeuitions now afloat and fully prepared
shall have landed at Manila General Mer
ritt will have under bis command about
23,000 United States troops, including
an ample force of field artillery and a
strong engineer and signal corps. Such

Sampson's last bombardment of San
tiago, before the surrender, wrecked fifty
seven bouses in the city, causing heavy
damage.
Gen. Shatter left the city of Santiago in
possession of the municipal authorities
already in power, Bubject to the control
of Gen. McKibbin, who was appointed
temporary military governor.
Gen. Shatter says that upon going into
Santiago he "discovered a perfect entan
glement of defenses. Fighting as the
Spaniards did the first day, it would
have cost5,000 lives to have taken it."
In some quarters there are reports that
Commodore Watson will sail without his
leaving time being made public, so that
the first report of this action will be from
the Spanish seaboard, where his fleet will
make its appearance.
. Fully 600 cases of yellow fever in the
army are under treatment at Santiago,
but the disease is of a mild form, and the
physicians say it is now well in hand.
Only five deaths have occurred, the low
mortality being remarkable and most en
couraging to Drs. Guiteras and the other
fever experts, who had grave fears when
the disease first appeared that the death j
rate would be very heavy.

Spain Meets Our Threat of Bombardmen
With a Bluff.
Spain is to meet our threat of bombard
mentof her seaconttt cities by Rending
portion of Admiral Camara's fleet to the
American shore. This is the information
that reached the navy department yes
terday through official channels. The
dispatch, which came from an authentic
source, said that Camara's fleet would be
divided, part of it remaining at home,
and the other part crossing tbe Atlantic
for the purpose of jriving the people along
the coast a taste of .what bombardment
means. Washington Post, 18th
If these vessels come, they will be met
and destroyed. It is barely possible our
navy might capture one or two of the
Spanish warships. Spain's bluff will not
prevent Watsoa going over to pay bis
respects to the Spanish coast towns. He
might meet Camara's fhip on tbe way
an Face Any Fleet
Exchange.
According to the London Spectator the
fight atf Santiago showed that so far as
the fleet, is concerned tbe United States
need not fear comparison with any conn
try iti the world. , The American navy
"could face even the far superior fleet of
France without great risk c or disaster,"
says the Spectator. And as for tbe Ger
main war fleet, a si niggle between that
and the American fleet "would be verv
veotion at JNasbviiie tbe other dayeuio snort, - - and It would surprise
giied Gov. Russell as tbe man of the pbe-

pointed more negroes to office than all
tbe other governors in tbe United States
combined, which declaration was vocif
erously applauded by the "savages" who
were present.
People who live outside of the colored
belt do not feel it so keenly, but when
they do see it they bgin to realize what
it , means, as tbe delegate from Union
county did, who attended the Democratic
congressional convention in this city, as
tntii hir tl.a Mnnrno Pnnniium
'A delegate who attended the congres
sional convention' in Wilmington last
week says that it is very humiliating to a
white man to see negro policemen, who
-were appointed oy a iusiou legislature,
pulling white men around." . . , , .
We have no doubt that this delegate,
who was not accustomed to such sights,
felt humiliated, and he probably felt very
indignant, too, as he might, when he re.
raembered that this thing was done by
.the active co-operation of the Populist
' leaders in the State who used and abused
the votes of honest white Populists in the
the dicker with the Republican leaders,by
virtue of which dicker the negroes were
put on top with tbe sanction and assist
ance of the Populist tools in the legisla
ture. This is but the beginning. Let
that combine be successful again, and we
will have more negroes in office, for they
have got a taste of it and will demand
more and will get more. .
