I All t. AXUK AND INCREASING CIRCULATION. "TRUE TO OURSELVES, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD." AN EXCELLENT ADVERTISING UEPIUU VOL. 17. SMITIIFIELD, N C, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1898. N0.1 The Duration of the War. V-. Yr Sm. I he opinion, it seems, is enUr tain l by many men in Congress, an I in Wall street, lor instar.ee that our war with Spam will be of veiy brief duration, onlv h lew weeks or at most two months. Gen. Fiuhogh Lee i tj-oUil as saying that "two weeks will aff rd sufficient time to wind up hostilities." It is safer, however, or the people to prepare for a much loner delay. Undoubtedly. i the Cub inshonldat once co op eiate in sufficient land strength with our rieet before Havana, the Spanish would be overcome speedilj; bet it cannot be as sumed that a large lorce will be landed in Cuba forthwith. The troops immediately available for the p-jrpose areonly th sse which could be spared from the regular army, and while they would be enough to male? a seasoned nu cleus about which to gather ad equate forces, they are ot enough of themselves to be over mastering. The National Guard regiments mav very possibly not be sent to Cuba this spring, il at any time in the future. None o. the regiments is Btted for such caropiigning as would be re quired there. They would all need from oce month to three months, preliminary training to render them of service in severe military operations. It was shown unmistakably ia both the Mexican war and the civil war that training and drilling, con suming months of time are ab solutely requisite to get volun teers in shape for arduous cara paining. The warfare ol the present requires especially that trcops undergo long physical training in order to develop strength and endnrance.to tht ow up entrenchments, besides bear ing the strain of long marches with heavy accoutrements to carry. Even if Havana were reduced and taken by our fleet it would be a barren victory if we could not follow it up by holding the ci ly with an army o! occupation. If the Cubans shall be strong enough of themselves to keep the Spanish array and the Spani.-h volunteers in Havana while our navy remains in control ol the water approaches, the Spaniards will be starved out soouer or -later. The creat field of war undoubted!)-, will be the sea, and if the Spanish fleet accepts bat tle or is forced into a great and general engagement, hostilities may be brought to a speedy is sue by bur complete destruction of jt. But absolute confidence of that is not fitting to the situa tion. If would be wiser, therefore, to cultivate in the public the pa tience to hostilities which may be protracted even into the late autumn, il not into next year. This war is a job we must go through to the end, and delibera tion may serve our purpose far better "than precipitation, so that when we stike an actual blow it may br stunning. Novel Use for theTele-;-: phone. Heoderaon Gold Leaf. Oa last Friday there was an interesting cause tried before J. O.-Drake, Esq., at Warrenton. A man was charged with house burning. Oa account of the number of witnesses and coun sel (26 witnesses and 6 lawjers) the case was protracted far into the night. Mr. Hicks, of coun sellor the defendant, took the position that as the house was not-occupied at the time ol ihe burning, the offence was not the capital crime of arson, but was bailable. This was strenuously opposed by cousrl for the prose cution. Mr. Hicks cited a law book in support of his position ol which a copy could not be found in Warrenton. So by con sent, the counsel for both sides retired to the Central office of the Telephone Exchange and called up A. C. Zollicoffer, Esq , of Hendeison, (it was then past midnight) wno went to his office, obtained and read the book over the 'phone; and as he read, it was repeated by the receiver in Warrenton, and heard to the satisfaction of all, sustaining the position of Mr. Hicks that the offence was bailable, and the dt fendaut was allowed to go on bail. The Gold Leaf ventures the as sertion that this is the first case on record in this State where the telephone has been used for simi lar purpose. AGAINST FUSION. COL. A. M. WADDELL, OF WILMINCTON, WRITES A STRONG LETTER. The Democratic. Party Must Not Bid Against the Re publicans for Cutler and His Crowd. Sunday Morniog the Raleigh Post published the following letter from Col. A. M. Waddell. of Wilmington, to National Chairman Jones: Wilmington, N. C. April 20th, 189S. Hon. James K. Jones, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter ol the 18th inst., enclosing copy of your address as chair man of the Democratic National Committee, and have carefully read what you say in regard to the policy which ought to be pursued in the campaign of 1900, and your appeal to me to go to the State Convention and work tor this policy. You say that you "under stand perfectly the difficulties by which you (we) are surrounded in North Carolina etc , etc Permit me to say that I am sure you do not understand the real situation, or the plainness of the path of duty and self-re spect which lies before Demo crats here; lor, if you did, I am sure you would not ask or ex pect them to accede to the de mands which will certainly be made upon them by Mr. Butler and his party as conditions ol co-operation. I am. and have always been, a bimetallism I endorse the Chicago platform. I would rejoice to see Mr. Bryan elected President, but I am not willing to see my party enter the open market and bid against the Republican party for Mr. Butler and his followers, at the upset price of voting for him or his allies for the most important effices affecting the welfare ol the State. The fight here is one between barbarism and civiliza tion between white men and negroes manipulated by un principled demagogues. Mr. Butler and his friends put the latter in power and they have degraded and dishonored the State. If he wants to undo his foul work because it was foul, it is very easy to do so; il he wants to undo it, only on condition that he and his followers shall continue to hold office, I will never agree to accept such con dition, because it Would be con doning a great crime, and would afford no substantial relief to the people. I will be no party to any such infamous trans action. I would sooner make open war upon such scoundrels than to yield to their demands. If we can not win without such dishonorable methods let defeat come. We have stood it hereto fore, and can stand it again bet ter than win by such means. I know this is not "practical politics," but I haven't much respect for practical politics at best, and none at all for this particular species of it. However, I am out of politics of any kind, and my opinion is of little consequence to anyone. I do not expect to be a delegate to the State Convention. I shall certainly not ask to be; but if I am, while I will do any thing to induce honest white men to act together to rescue North Carolina from the degra dation with which she is afflict ed. I shall never agtee to accom plish even that high purpose by offering a higher price to the demagogues who betrayed her to return to their duty, than that offered by their present al lies to remain with tbecn. Local self-government by white men is infinitely more im portant to us than the suyer question, and if we cannot get it peaceably without traaing wnn Messrs. Butler & Co., we will get it by force at their expense, "and don't you forget it." I have plainly given you my honest conviction. Yours Iruly. ; (Signed ) A. M. WADDELL. . Army to Get 400,000 Car rels of Flour. West Superior. Wis , Apr. 23 A government official is in the city to ascertain how soon the flour mills could fill an order for 4-00.000 barrels of flour to be (sent South, PRESIDENT'S LAKtATION. PROC He calls for 126,000 Volun teers. Last Saturday President Mc Kinley issued the following proc lamation calling for 125,000 troops to serve two years: By the President of the United States. A Proclamation: W hereas, A joi n t resolu t io n ol Congress was approved on the 20th day of April, 1898, entitled "Joint resolution for the recog nition of the independence ol the people of Cuba, demanding that the government of Spam relin quish its authority and go y em inent of the island of Cuba and to withdraw its lacd and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the Prcsi dent of the United States to use the land and nayal forces of the Unittd States to carry these resolutions into eft.ct," and Whereas, By an act ol Con gress, entitled "An act to pro vide for temporarily increasing the military establishment of the United States in time of war and for other purposes," ap proved April 22, 1898, the Presi dent is authorized in order to raise a volunteer army, to issue his proclamation calling for vol unteers to serve in the army ol the United States. Now, therefore, 1, William Mc Kinley, President of the United States, by virtue of the power vested in me by the constitution and the laws, and deeming suffi cient occasion to exist, have thought fit to call iorth, and hereby do call forth, volunteers to the aggregate number of 125, 000, in order to carry into effect the purpose of the said resolu tions, the same to be apportion ed, as far as practicable, among the several States and Terri tories and the District of Co lumbia, according to population, and to serve two years, unless sooner discharged. The details for this object will be immediately communicated to the proper authorities through the War Department. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the City of Washington, this 23rd dav of April, A. D , 1898, and of" the Independ ence of the United States, the 122ad. (Seal) wm. Mckinley. By the President. John Sherman, Secretary of State. WASHINGTON LETTER. (Herald Corrvspondeure.i Washington, D. C, April 25th. 1898. One country, one flag, and one object the licking of Spain. That is the all-prevailing senti ment in Washington since the war actually begun. Now that Mr. McKinley has shaken off the Hanna peace-at any-price crowd and their benumbing influence, he has become thoroughly alive to the necessities of the.'sitaation. This has been particularly noticeable during the past week. He started on the right track when he asked Congress for au thority to use the army and navy to drive Spain out of Cnba; he took the proper step when he sent that ultimatum to Spain; again when he recognized the dismissal of our minister by Spain as an act of war; again when he issued orders for our fleet to blockade Cuba, and yet again when he issued his proclamation calling for 125,000 mm to serve i.wo vears unless sooner discharged. Congress is right behind every one of these moves nnd the people aie right behind Congress. The enthusi asm is unprecedented, and every Spanish flg captured by our warships add to it. The only regret that is heard is that all who desire to participate in avenging the Maine cannot do o, as each State will insist on furnishing its fuU quota of the trnrmq rAllrd for. The National Guard of the District of Colum bia is already in a camp of in struction, and although only about one third can hope to go, every man of them is anxious to start for Cuba. The law authorizing the vol nnteer armv which was enacttd bv Congress last week, provides for four Maior Gsnerals. and the impression is general in Wash ington that r-itz. Le ana joe Whrrlrr. of Alabama! will be tendered commissions of that rank. "Teddy" Roosevelt, the THE scrappy Assistant Secretary of the navy, will resign that posi tion in order to serve on Pitz Lee's Staff in Cuba. When once our army gets in Cuba it will make short work ni whipping the Spaniards, but several weeks must elapse before that army can be gathered on the southern coast, preparatory to embarkation for Cuba. Un til then we shall have to content ourselves with the knowledge that our warships will give a good account of themselves in any engagements they will have either with the Spanish forts in Cuba or with the Spanish war ships; and we may as well also prepare ourselves to bear of the occasional capture of an Ameri can merchant snip on the other side of the Atlantic by the Span ish. We can hope that the boast ful Spanish navy will come over and fight our ships, but there are no indications bow insight that it will do so. It looks as though we will have to go after them when we have cap tured Cuba. But Cuba comes first. . The bonds authorized by the war revenue bill reported to the House by the Ways and Means Committee are coin bonds the gold idea had to be abandoned by the few who entertained it bearing three per cent, interest. Five hundred million dollars is the amount, to run from ten to twenty years it the pleasure of the government. The issue of $100,000,000 in three per cent, treasury certificates of indebted ness is also authorized. The bill makes increases in the inter nal revenue tax on beer and manufactured tobacco, and pro vides for new taxation, mostly by stamps, similar to thesystem in vogue just after the war, that will, it is estimated, add $100, 000,000 a year to the govern ment's revenues. There is very little doubt that the witty speech of Private John Allen, of Mississippi shamed enough Republican members ol the House to save the seat of Representative Carmack, of Tennessee, which was contested by Josiah Patterson, who ran bgainst him a gold Democrat arid was supported by Republi cans. Six Republicans voted for Carmack and a number did not vote at all. It had been under stood that the solid . Republican vote had been pledged to Pat terson by Gen. Grosvenor and other leaders of the party, but after John Allen had shown up in his own inimitable manner, the zigzag financial career of Josiah Patterson, emphasizing his points by a string of his best stories, the vote was taken and Josiah was defeated by a vote of 139 to 120. A long story might be told about the lightning cabinet change, in which Editor Charles Emory Smith succeeded Mer chant James A. Gary as Post master General, but if so old an enemy of Smith as Senator Quay was willing to keep quiet and even move that Smith's nomina tion be confirmed by the Senate, surely others can do so, at least until after the war is over. Just now nothing is wanted that will not add to the strength of the government; the first and great est demand is that no time be lost in fighting the war to a vic torious end. DEADLY TORPEDOES FOft WAR. New York, April 23. The most formidable shipment re ceived at the navy yard came in on Friday in form ol 50 Uerrnan torrjedoes from Berlin. More significant still was the arrival of the German torpedo expert who came with his wares. These tor pedoes are the most destructive known and correspond to the Whiteheads. 1 hey win be placed on the auxiliary boats now being put in war trim. A full supply of torpedo tubes and torpedo guns came in, also from Germany. At the same time was received a supply of Vicker's Maxim rapid firing guns. These were shipped from the yards of Sir William Armstrong at New Cas tle on the Tyne and supplement the shipment of Hotchkiss auto matic guns received last Satur dav. These Hotchkiss guns are to be used for the purpose of coast defense, and it is intended by the government to distribute them along the various stations of the Atlantic coast. In addi tion to these there have been re ceived at the navy yard 200 of i Colt s automatic guns. A PROCLAMATION. By the President Declaring Certain Cuban Ports Dlockaded. Washington, April 22. The following proclamation an nouncing a blockade of Cuban ports was issued to-day. By the President of the United States a proclamation. Whereas, By a joint resolution passed by the Congress and ap proyed April 20, 1898, and com municated to the government o Spain it was demanded that said government at once relin quish its authority and govern ment in the island of Cuba, and withdraw its land and naval force? from Cuba and Cuban wateis; and the President of the United States was directed and empowered to usetheentire land and nayal forces of the United States, and to call into actual service of the United States the militia of the several states to such extent as might be neces sary to carry said resolutions into effect; and Whereas, In carrying into ef fect said resolution, the Presi dent ni the United States deems it necessary to set on foot and maintain a blockade of the north coast' of Cuba, including all ports, on said coast between Cardenas and Bahia Honda and the port of Cienfuegos on the south side of Cuba. Now, therefore, I, William Mc Kinley, President of the United States, in order to enforce the said resolution, do hereby de clare and proclaim that the United States of America have instituted and will maintain a blockade of the north coast ol Cuba, including the ports on said toast between Cardenas and Bahia Honda and the port of Cienfuegos on the south coast of Cuba, aforesaid, in pursuance of the laws of the United States and the law of nations as appli cable to such cases. An efficient force will be posted so as to pre vent the entrance and exit of vessel from the ports aforesaid. Any neutral vessels approach ing any of said ports or attempt ing to leave the same, without notice or knowledge of the es tablishment of such blockade, will be duly warned by the com mander of the blockading forces, who will endorse on her register the fact, and the date of such warning, where such endorse ment was made; and should the same vessel again attempt to enter any blockaded port, she will be captured and sent to the nearest convenient port for such proceedings against her and her cargo as prize, as may be deem ed advisable. Neutral vessels lying in any of said ports at the time of the es tablishment of such blockade will be allowed thirty days to issue therefrom. ' In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caus ed the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washing ton, this twenty-second day ol April A. D., 1898, and of the In dependence of the United States the one hundred and twenty second. WILLIAM McKINLEY. By the President. John Sherman, Secretary of State. A Case of Violence. Harper's Weekly. There 19 on record but one case of violence among the starv ing of Matanzas city. In Octo ber, 1897, some five hundred ol the reconcentrado women were put to work at filling in with sand a morass on the outskirts ol the city. Their wages was ten cents a day to each woman. When the work was finished the women went in a body to the mayor, asking him what was to become oi them now that the morass was filled in and they had no more money. "I'm sure I don't know," answered the mayor. The women were per sistent in their demands work or food, and the mayor was alarm ed at this new feature of the question. Finally he suggested, in a moment of weakness, that the city market was full let them help themselves there. He was taken at his word; in a body the women moved on the surprised market men. Their strength was in their numbers, and they thoroughly cleared out the stalls before the surprised venders could put up the shut ters or drive them away. SPAIN'S PROCLAMATION. All Treaties Between Her and Us are Null and Void. New Tork Sun. Madrid, April 24. The Ga- ceta Oacial to-dav prints a proc tarnation by the Government de claring that a state of war ex ists between Spain and the United States and announcing that the treaty of 1795 and the protocol of 1877 are null and void. The decree is as follows: "Diplomatic relations are broken off between Spain and the United States, and, the state of war being begun between the two countries, numerous ques tions of international law arise, which must be precisely defined, chiefly because the injustice and provocation come from our ad versaries, and it is they who, by their detestable conduct, have caused this grave conflict. "We have obseryed with the strictest fidelity the principles ol international law and have shown the most scrupulous re spect for morality and the right of government. The Govern ment is of the opinion that the fact of sot haying adhered to the Declaration of Paris does net exempt us from the duty of respecting the principles therein enunciated. The principle Spain unquestionably refused to admit then was the abolition of pri vateering. The Government now considers it indispensable to make absolute reserves on this point, in order to maintain our liberty of action and uncon tested right to have recourse to privateering when we consider it expedient, first, by organizing immediately a force of cruisers, auxiliary to the navy, which w(ll be composed of vessels ol our mercantile marine and with equal distinction in the work of our navy. "Clause 1. The state of war existing between Spain and the United States annuls the treaty ol peace and amity of Oct. 27, 1795, and the protocal of Jan. 12, 1877, and all othes agree ments, treaties, or conventions in force between the two coun tries. "Clause 2. From the publica tion of these presents, thirty days are granted to all ships ol the United States anchored in our harbors to take their de parture free of hindrance. "Clause 3. Notwithstanding that Spain has not adhered to the Declaration of Paris, the Government, respecting the principles of the law of nations, proposes to observe, and hereby orders to be observed, the fol lowing regulations of maritime law: "First Neutral flags over the enemy's merchandise except con traband of war. "Second Neutral merchandise, except contraband ot war, is not seizable under the enemy s flag. "Third A blockade to be ob Iigatory must be effective, viz , it must be maintained with sufficient force to prevent access to enemy s htteral. "Fourth The Spanish Govern ment, upholding its right to grant letters of marque, will at present confine itself to organ izmg, with the vessels oi me I. -. . r.i mercantile marine, a force of auxiliary cruisers, which will co operate with the new navy, ac cording to the needs of ths cam paign, and will be under naval control. "Fifth In order to capture the enemy's ships and confiscate the enemy s merchandise and contraband of war in whatever form, the auxiliary cruisers will exercise the right of search on the high seas and in the waters under the enemy s jurisdiction, in accordance with international law and the regulations, which will be published. "Sixth Included in contra band of war are weapons, am munition, equipments, engines, and 'in general all the appliances used in war. "Seventh To be regarded and judged as pirates, with all tht rigor ot the law, are captains, masters, officers, and two-thirds of the crew of vessels which, not being American, shall commit acts of war against Spain, even if provided with letters cf marque issued by the United States " The fourth is the most im portant clause, in which Spain maintain the ri ch fc to prant let ters of marque, which right she reserved to herself, in her note of May 16, 1857, contained in her reply to France. Spain defines contrabrand of war as "cannon, quick-firing guns, shells, rifles, ail patterns of cutting and thrusting weapons and arms of precision, bullets, bombs, grenades, fulminates. capsules, fuses, powder, sulphur dynamite, and explosives of all inds as well as uniforms, straps. pack saddles, and equipment of artillery and cavalry, marine engines, and in general all ap pliances used in war." The government reserves lib erty of action relative to the question of coal being contra band of war. THE ULTIMATUM AHD MINISTER WOOD FORD'S DISMISSAL. The resolutions passed by the! United States Congress, together with the following ultimatum was sent to Minister Woodford ast Wednesday afternoon: Woodford, Minister, Madrid: You have been furnished with the text of a joint resolution passed by the Congress of the United States on the 19th inst., approved to day, in relation to the pacification of the- island of Cuba. In obedience to that act the President directs you to im mediately communicate to the government of Spain said reso- utions, with the formal demand of the government of the United States that the government ol Spain at once relinquish its au thority and goyernment in the island of Cuba, and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. In taking this step, the United StateSjbereby disclaim any dispo sition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or con trol ever said island except for the pacification thereof, and asserts its determination that when this is accomplished to cave the control of the island to its people under such free and in dependent government as they may establish. If by the hour of noon on Saturday next, the 23rd day of April, therebe not communicated to this government by that of Spain a full and satisfactory re sponse to this demand and reso- ution, whereby the ends of peace in Cuba shall be assured. the President will proceed with out further notice to use the power and authority enjoined and conferred upon him by the said joint resolution to such ex tent as may be necessary to carry the same into effect. (Signed) SHERMAN. Minister Woodford could not present them on Wednesday and early Thursday morning before he bad an opportunity to carry out the instructions of the gov ernment, he received the follow ing note from Senor Gullon, Minister of Foreign Affairs: Dear Sir: In compliance with a painful duty, I have the honor to inform you that there has been sanctioned by the President ol the republic a resolution ol both chambers of the United States, which denies the legiti mate sovereignty of Spam, and threatens armed intervention in Cuba, which is equivalent to a declaration of war. The government of Her Majes ty have ordered her minister to return without loss of time from North American territory, to gether with all the personnel ol the legation. By this act the diplomatic re lations hitherto existing between the countries and all of the com munications between the coun tries and all of the communica tions between their respective representatives cease. I am obliged, thus, to inform you, so tnat you may maice .. . such arrangements as you think fit. I beg your excellency to ac knowledge receipt of this note at such time as you deem proper. Taking this opportunity to re iterate to you the assurances of my distinguished consideration. (Signed) P. GULLUN.
