BSXSTRXAZ. BT JTJHT. Beanfork L'oi.nty is again shocketl by the reidict in the case of murder er Ban-field, and it is not astonishing that the nowspflpers of Washington. the eountv seat, are load in their protest against the verdict, and the possible results which the rendering of like verdicts might have upon its communitv, and its section. The evidence in this .case of wife mnrder seems to haye proven con clusively the guilt of the prisoner, the husband of the murdered woman. The testimony of the wit nesses auowerr isarrneij to oe tne ninrderer '.eyond any reasonable doubt. The mining clothing of the victim; the spade, proven tn le the property of the murderer; au 1 the witness to tne attempt U cever up the grave of the woman by the man, in order to efface ail sign of crime. All were proveu. .Even aftar the jury had failed to agree, resulting in a mistri.'U. the prisoner submitted to a plea of guilty of murder in tho sec ond degree, reef iving a sentenc of nine years in the poaitetitiarv. The newspapers of Bean fort Countv call attention to the circum stance that this is tho fifth murder er to escape, within a few weeks in that county, the just penalty of his crimes, and it is no wonder that the peoplo of that county are inexpressi bly horrifie! by the verdict. Such verdicts are unquestionably provoca tive of further crimen, as wouid-lie murderers have no certainty of re ceiving the ju't penalty for their crimes, but can esc;ie witn some minor seulenrtj of punishment. The Barrticld murder trial and its verdiet is one which docs not only affect Beaufort County, H deeply sffecMall of Eastern North Carolina, and even the entire State, for it puts to shame all of our boated laws of order, aud liy us open to the accu sation that ojr citizenship is not staple or safe, and that justice in our courts is a farce. The present jury sv stem must be abolished or clmnged. so that the ev id ene given in court will have iDfineactt in f-ausing verdicts in ac cordance with CLi law in the case. With the present jry sfgteoj, ad ev idenced by the verdicts in the recent marder trials in Katern North Car olina, testimony proving beyond reasonable doubt the guilt of the prisoners, makes no difference with juries. This state of affairs in our jury svstom needs a radical change at once, or elso the people, driven wild by the mockery of such triale will in their desperation take the law into their own hands This course is to he deprecated, and may it never roma, but the danger of it ever tareaxaus aniio juries win stand forth aud msk mtnals in such cases as that of the murderer Barrfield.

"I do not think," he added, calmly, "that there will lie any war.' But Mr. Hale went on to explain, in iew of what had beeu done here in the Senate, he considered it desir able that the President should have the authority, if an emergency should arise, to make the necessary enlistments from the naval reserves. Mr. Chandler explained that the measure con temp la toil tho calling out of tho naval militia just as the land militia was now subject to call in case of emergency. With this explanation the bill passed without a dissenting vote. Senator Gorman introduced a joint resolution directing the Sec retarv of the Navy to appoint a board of three ftav.il officers to ex amine the site for a coaliug station for United States vessels on Havassa Island, in the West Indies, near the coast of Cuba. Washington Post. MR. BATTLE'S VIEWS. Ha Believes Fusion Cannot Last Per manently and Advises Democrats to Abide in the Ship. Col. Olds recently interviewed Mr. Kiehard II. Battle, ex chair man Democratic State Executive Committee, of this city, on the course to be pursued by the Demo crats in the coming campaign. Mr. Battle gave his opinion as follows: "I do not wish to obtrude my views about political matters upon the public, bat yon ask what I think to be the duty of the Demo cratic party in North Carolina, in the present inucture. and, I give you my opinion for what it is worth. The Democratic party is, and should continue to be, a national and not a sectional part v. It stands for cer tain important principles. We can hope to maintain those principles only through a national organiza tion. We must run no risk of sacrificing such organization from fear that wo cannot have our way abont all these principles. We should meet in State convention, declar" our principles iu a platform nomiuate good men for State ofi fcerf1, as usual aad send delegates to the national convention at Chicago to advocate our principles and nomi nate candidates for the presidency aud vice-presidency. A e should then abide by the action of the na tional convention and zealously sup port us candidates. 'The Populist party of .North Carolina was made up of extreme Democrats. An alliance between tbem aud the Republicans can re 5 resent no principle, but only a ivision of spoils. This cannot loner be approved by honest Populists or honest Republicans and the triumph of such a combination must be only terojorary. L-t us stand by onr principles and maintain our solf-rr-spect. Defeat is better than dis honor. But who can say that in the present division of other parties Democracy may not win again next fall?" News and Observer. Endowment for Trinity. Mr. Washington Duke, of Dur ham, who has already given more to Trinity College than any other North CVroliuian has given to ou educational institution, has changed his proposition .to give $50,000 for ut endowment fund when ?5,000 from other sources has been raised. He now offers to gire i?.00 every time other parties give $3, whether it is much or little. This very generous proposition ought to stimulate the Methodists of the State to earnest activity to raise at least ?", 000 during the present conference year. With nearly a hundred and fifty thousand members, it ought not to lie difficult to secure an average of fifty cent3 from the membership. In a recent editorial, the Christian Advocate said : "It ought to be an easy matter for us to raise 75,000 this year and that ment fund, 1135,000. Wake For est, the Baptist college of the State, has an endowment of $190,000. The Presbyterians have given Davidson tl0i$,000 endowment. We are far shind those churches in this res Dect.

Trani.t;inric Company" Whole Fleet Will be Armed. for United States War Systematic and Rapid Preparations are Being Made for a i couragxd hy Passible Conflict En- Continental Friendli- ness. MHi.ii, March I. -The govern ment has received a n umber of offers : of peeuni.wy and other aid in the eveut of a war with the United States, gruwing otit of the attitude of the latter on the Cuban question. 1 The people appear to be detenn- . i:il! to'jjilinat llie nverninclil in II tlon to rieeli ( u baa Spanish evl.uiy, no matter at what cost.

I -i e orrr has been accepted has been accepted and e'h; of t he steamers will be armed with from nine to twelve centimeter "ins. Compressed sawdust will be used as protection for the rnns. If events shall necessitate such action, these vessels will be used as cruisers and privateers. The government has ordered that lame uuantities of coal be stored in Cuba for the use of the warships Military preparations are being hastily, bnt systematically made. Orders have been issued for the dis patch to Cuba of reinforcements from the Baleric, Canary and Philip pine Islands. At the meeting: of the cabinet to ba held tomorrow Admiral Beranger minister of marine, will ask lor a credit to complete the armament of t he warships Palaya, Oqucn do, Yizenya aid Mafia Prrosa. The diplomats here, had long in terviews today with Senor Elduayeu minister of foreign affairs. The Catholic party, which was formerly the Carlist party, but which is now independent, has adopted a resolution, protesting against the attitude of the United States, and offering to support the government with men and money. Campos Somewhat a Prophet. In the light of passing events, Gen. Campos, the late Governor General of Cuba, is presented some what as a prophet. It will be remembored that when the Madrid Government was pressing Campos to inaugurate a reign of terror in deal ing with tho Cubans as a means of speedily crushing the rebellion, that official protested and informed the home Government that such a policy would have a bad effect, in that it would arouse public sentiment in the United States against Spain, which in the end might be hnrtfnl to her cause. The old General had made a study of the temper of the people of the United States in relation to the treatment of the Cubans by the Mother Country, and being con vinced that to adopt the policy demanded of him by Spain meant simply to invite intervention from the United States aud possibly worse, he preferred to give up his command, and so informed the Government at Madrid. The re sult of this was that Campos was recalled and General Weyler, "the butcher." was sent out to succeed him. In due time Weyler arrived on the island and at once proceeded to carry out the policy which Campos declined. His coming filled the people with terror, and despite denials to the contrary, it is known that more than one victim has fallen by his order simply because of a supposed sympathy for the struggling patriots was entertained bv tliem. the torch and sword have been his chief weapons and none who have come in his way have escaped his brutality. General Weyler's conduct since assuming command in Havana has driven thousands of people, hereto fore onlv sympathizers with the patriots, to active lighting for the cause. Thcv say that there, is no safety in the island for a Cuban unless he is an active supporter of the Crown that there is no such a thing its a passive looker-on that those who du not espouse the Span ish cause are daily being arrested on trumped up charges and thrown into prison, and under this condition of affairs thousands are fleeing to the army of the patriots. In fact a reign of terror haa been inaugurated throughout island since Weyler's arrival, and jii6t what Campos pre dicted has come to pass namely, the United States has come into the field. The action of Congress in passing resolutions calling upon President Cleveland to accord the Cubans bel ligerent rights is the first step in that direction, aqd no one doubts that this action will be supplement ed if the necessities of the case de mands it.

Tho Washington Times of Wed nesday March 4, publishes advices from Havuna, dated February 2Xth, which tells a horrible story of Span ish atrocities and attempted suppres sion of the truth. The statement reads as follows: The affair at Guatao will not down. Capt.

He was waited upon esterday by a delegation of women from the lit tle hamlet of Guatao and the town ol Puntit l'iav,i and heard with his own ears the story of the killing fiom the wives, mothers, and sisters of the dead, and listened to the ap peal for t ie lives and liberty of the l fifteen prisoners. lie has also received official notice from Conenl Genera1.

All the other American corres pondents have been shadowed since, but even if the two who did go to Guatao are found out, it is doubtful if they will bo arrested, for the rea son that another arrest would be a confession that the first was a mis take. ( O RRF.SFOX D F. X T S I X V EST IG ATE. The affair at Punta Brava and Guatao, however, was within twelve miles of this city., and two Amer ican correspondents went to the two towns as soon as rumors of the nature of the occurrence were re ceived. The killing took place Sat urday afternoon, lhe bodies had been buried on Sunday, but the earth was still moist on the graves when the correspondents reached the icene. SO BATTLE SIMPLE BUTCHERY. Ihey walked about the town, which was well nigh deserted, talked with neighbors and relatives of the dead, inspected the houses in which unarmed men had been shot and bayoneted to deatn, and women who prayed on their knees for the lives of the hunbands aud sons had beeu knocked insensible. The correspondents took photo graphs of the streets, houses and cemetery at truatao and tnese are indisputable proof that no battle on occurred in the town, as is now claimed by the Spanish authori ties. rutting togetner such facts as verified the affair at Guatao was plainly nothing but a butchery. The Span.j-h troops under Capt. Calvo met and dispersed a handful or in surgents at the eastern entrance to i the town of Punta Brava, with uo losses on either side. Some of the insurgents having takeu the direc tion of Guatao, one mile south, the troops moved upon the town, shoot ing right and left as they entered, killing the inhabitants, who ran from their houses in alarm upon hearing the hriug. SIIOT EVERY OX"E IN SIGHT. uthers concealed themselves in bedrooni3 and iu any place which seemed likely to help them avoid be ing discovered. Many men and wo men reached the woods in safety, About forty men were left in the town. Some were too old and infirm to run, some were loyal Spaniards, aud others were Cubans who had taken no part in the rebellion. i no troops seemed bent upon a mad hunt for blood, and phot down veryou'j in sight. Several Spaniards were found among the dead. The mounted guerrillas pursued fleeing inhabitants across the fields, shoot- ing at them or cutting them down with their sabers, uthers rushed in to houses, clubbed women who im- peded their entrance, 6hot men hid ing under beds, killed one man sick in bed and dragged the bodies of their victims out into the streets. Some of the troops contented themselves with making prisoners of all the Cubans they could find. After pinioning the arms of an in offensive citizen behind his back his captors marched him out to the center of the town, clubbing him, and making him shout "Vive Espana" as he went. I The cavalrymen who killed men running across the fields brought their bodies iu, carrying them across the horn oi the saddle or dragging them if the distance was short. The bodies were laid on the ground in front of the main store. One of the inhabitants of Guatao was Ladislao Quintera, an American citizen. He had not been fighting with the insurgents and had no arms. WOUNDED AX AMERICAN. He hid in his house, and though his wife, yith a two-months old babe in her arms, threw herself in front of the soldiers, they forced their way in and shot Quintera, the ball passing through his arm. He was made prisoner, and is now in Moro Castle. His wife and mother have made full statements of the affair to the American consul, which will be forwarded to Washington. DEAD BODIES IN THE STREETS. Twelve bodies were left in the streets for the inhabitants to bury. One other, that of a milkman, who was shot on his cart while filling milk cans in front of his house, and afterward pursued into the house and finished, was left where the man died. It was buried back of the house. The twelve bodies were buried in the cemetery at Guatao. Three physicians from Punta ' Brava and Mariano, who are mem- bers of the lied Cross Society, went to G uatao to Attend to the wound ed. They found the dead in the street but no wounded. Quintcra, the American prisoner, had his wound dressed at Marianao. One of lhe volunteers, a man named Edwardo Sanchez, a store keeper, of Marianao, opcly boasted that he had gone into a house and killed a man under a bed. PRAISIXO THE FIEXDS. The commandant of the post and alcalde of Marianao, Marquis de Cervera, who sent out the troops, made a report to Captain General Weyler Sunday, and one Havana paper issued an extra on the "glor ious victory." In his official report the marquis says: "The column I sent out has ob tained a brilliant result. All are worthy of your excellency, for they have all done to-day what your excellency so glorious did at Jarnia in Santo Domingo thirty years ago." Cubans say that the Jarnia incid ent was also a butchery. PRESIDENT AND CUBA. Timoly Statement Defining- the ministration's Attitude. Ad- The following staUment accurat ely represents the administrations, views on Cuba. "While the President and the members of the Cabinet personally feel the sympathy common to all Americans with those Cubans who are contending for self-government, they feel that in their official action th-y should not depart from the well-settled principles which were followed by former Presidents and Secretaries of State during prior in surrections in Cuba. "These were clearly set forth by Gen. Grant iu his message of 1875. in which he dealt with the question of the recognition of Cuban inde pendence and also with that of the recognition of belligerency. "Both independence and belli gerency are facts, and their recogni tion by other powers, as the term applies, is merely formal acknow ledgment of a state of things which righly or wrongly has come about. "When a people united under some known aud defined form of government, which administers its functions by the usual methods, come to occupy and control a known territory over which it is competent to administer justice and within which it affords protection to citi zens and strangers, a new state ex ists. Refusal of recognition would not change the fact any moro than premature 'recognition' could create it. The former would be merely a slight to the new government, just as the latter is merely an affront to the old one. The question necess arily is always what government is actually in control of the country? "Recognition of belligerency depends upon the same facts and is only a modified form of recognizing independence, though the latter im plies more perfect accomplishment. The difference between mere insur rection and war, though in both armed bodies are in conflict, is that in the former only one sovereign f lower is engaged, while in the atter there must necessarily be two. If an armed conflict be carried on by a 'substantial political organiza tion, real, palpable, and manifest to the world, having the forms and capable of the ordinary functions of government toward its own people and to other States,' having a 'local habitation' where it may be dealt with by other nations, then there is a war; and refusal to recognize belligerency would be willful. "In the absence of these features there is nothing 'to take the contest out of the category of a mere re bellious insurrection, or occasional skirmishes, and place it on the ter rible footing of war.' The pretense of recognizing what does not exist 'is always, and justly, regarded as an unfriendly act and a gratuitous demonstration of moral support to the rebellion.' Washington Post. A PEACE MONUMENT. Bill Introduced Providing for tke Con struction of One At Appomattox Conrthonse. A Washington, special to Rich mond! Dispatch tells that regard less of the Cuban resolutions, and of the interest takeu in that and other matters pending in Con- ss, there was a bill introduced in the House which peculiarly interests the southern people, and especially those in Virginia. It is perhaps the forerunner of a national park, which should be constructed on the historic field whero Lec and Grant made terms and concluded our crvil strife in 1S65. It was offer ed by Representative Mahou, of Pennsylvania, and provides that 875,000 be appropriated for the erec tion of a l'eace monument at Ap- pomatox Courthouse, Va. , on the spot where General Lee is said to to have surrendered to Orant. J his monument is to be erected under the auspices of a commission, com posed of the Secretary of War, the commander of the army, the chief of engineers the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the commauder of the Confederate Veterans' Association. The introduction of the bill was well received. The measure was ap propriately referred, and no doubt it will be favorably reported to the House during the present session. Speakiug to a southern member of the House with reference to the measure, he said: "What we want at Appomattox is a grand national park not to commemorate the sur render of Lee, but to glorify and immortalize the valorous deeds of j American soldiers. There may be objection to the location on the part of some southerners, because Ap pomattox was the scene of the sur render, but there is no other spot on the American Continent that is so endeared or so sacred to the South, or the southern people, as is Appomattox Courthouse, Va. We from the far gouth want to spe it made a truly national park, but in such manner as to symbolize the fact that the thirteen Southern States awoke the world to the exis tence of the greatest most, powerful, and bravest people on the face of the earth that ever battled for their rights." The retirement of Editor J. P. Strong from journalistic work, as the sale of his paper, the Charlotte Democrat, indicates, will be regretted by all who know Mr. Strong. The Demo crat has always been a clean and reliable weekly. The Journal sends its best wishes to Editor Strong in his retirement. FRENCH GUIANA BOUNDART. Brazil is Seeking' Arbitration of Con- flicting Claims. Paris, March 4. M. Berthelot, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, gave an audience to-day to the Bar zillian Minister, who is armed with power to arrange for arbitration of the matters in dispute regarding the possession of the Amapa terri tory. The Brazilian Minister sub mitted a project for a mixed com mission to control the disputed ter ritory pending a definite settlement of the dispute. Rio Janeiro, Jan. 25. The dis pute between France and Brazil re garding the ownership of the Amapa territory is rapidly growing as dan gerous as it is possible to be. Nego tiations have been in progress be tween the two governments for a long time past looking to tho settle ment of the matter by arbitration But it is doubtrul whether the peo ple of the State of Para, who have considerale interest at stake in Amapa, and who have extensive settlements there could be prevailed upon to evacuate their lands peace fully. VIRGINIA SENATORS FIGHT. Injuries Received hy Senator Flan nigan May Prove ratal. Richmond, Ya., March 4. Sen ator Flood entered the Senator chamber this afternoon and, walk ing up to Senator Flaunagan, be labored him over the head with a cane, inflicting a painful but not dangerous wound. The assanlt caused much excitement. Flood was arrested and bailed. The as sinlt was provoked by the fact that Flaunagan, a day or two ago said on the floor that Flood had falsi fied. The condition of Senator Flan nagan is not so favorable to-night. His physicians fear now that there is concussion of the brain. They say it cannot be definitely known within the next thirteen hours what the result will be. He has been delir ious for some hours. OFFERING ASSISTANCE TO SPAIN The French and English People Will be Ag-ainst the United States. Madrid, March 5. Numerous groups of students, armed with cudgels, took part in a "patriotic meeting" to-day. A strong force of police, mounted and on foot, dis persed them. The police are guard ing the university, the veterinary and medical colleges. It is stated here that several Eng lish ship owners have offered tho government to equip privateers on their own acconnt in case of war be tween Spain and the U. 8. The government has declined to purchase two additional cruisers. It is stated here that the situation in Cuba ap pears to improve. THE UNIVERSITIES CLOSED. Barcelona March 5. The univer sities here at Valencia and at Granada are closed in order to pre vent the students from making demonstrations against the United States. The excitement, however, has considerably abated, and there is a belief prevailing that Great Britain and France will support Spain against the United States. The authorities have succeeded in dispersing all the rioters, and order has been restored in the city. COVE CORRESPONDENCE Personals R elifious Services Pound ing and SckooL Mr. J. P. Brogden of Trenton, was in the village Tuesday on bis way to New Berne. Mr. J. H. Griffin, and Miss Jen nie Windley went down to Beach Grove Sunday. Many hearts were made to rejoice last Friday, by the appearance of Rev. J. G. Johnson and wife of Clinton. He had an appointment to preach at Epworth, but owing to the inclemency of the weather, he conducted services in the Baptist church. On a very short notice, quite a number availed themselves of the opportunity of hearing and shaking hands with their former and greatly beloved pastor. Bro. Sanford and wife wish to tender their heart felt thanks and high appreciation Jfor the large pounding which they received Mon day. While he was off visiting the sick, two young ladies, Miss Ann Pearce of Lane's chapel, and Miaa Nannie West of Bethany, came with a loaded buggy, and filled the pantry with the little necessaries of life. Miss Bettio Porter of Perfection, opened a five months school in the new school house Monday with ten pupils. A good school is badly need ed here. Miss Porter is an excellent teacher, and we think "the right woman in tho right place." We are pleased to have her among us, and hope for her success. Tke Value of Independence. A poor estimate is placed upon our powers when we are always dependent on somebody. It it not meant to say that we can be in dependent of God, from whom our every blessing comes. But there are some people many people who are ever afraid to turn loose and paddle their own canoo. Confidence in one's Belf is a thing to be desired bv all people. Even the idiot does not hesitate to do some thing to show his independence, even though his work is done in a way different from what others would do it. This spirit of dependence is the result of faulty trainingof the child. It's the child's nature to walk, and nature must be heeded. No parent ought to make a slave of himself or herself in order to give the children an easy time. Let the children learn to be in dependent. 'Scatter them, if neces sary; break up the indulgences, and gjve them to know that "what Uiey pave they must earn. The best men and women are those who are raised to work- Work makes one inde pendent, but many a bright boy has made a lazy tramp simply because he was always looking for fayors and never learned that the road to wealth lies in honest toil.
