Telegraph and Express Companies,
will be asked fer a decision on the

I AS TO TELEGRAPH STAMPS.
I A question has been raised, that will
jbe decided today, as to whether the
sender of a telegraphic message is lia
ble for the one-f ent tax, or whether It
should be paid by te company.
It Is
font11(''3 the tax was intended
ther, that a message is not a telegram
until it has been sent; and, therefore,
jthe compa-ny ought to affix the stamp
;on the message when it is delivered.
I The wording of the law Is obscure on
this point, reading simply:
"Dispatch, telegraphic Any dispatch
or message, one cent."
AS TO TELEPHONE MESSAGES
It Is argued that the law ruling tele
graphic messages is the same as that
ruling telephonic messages, which Is
quite explicit, reading as follows:
"Telephone" messages: It shall be
the duty pf every person, firm, or cor
poration owning or operating any tele
phone line Or lines to make within the
first fifteen days of each month a
sworn statement tq the Collector of
of messages or conversations transmit
ted over their lespective lines during
the preceding month, for which a
charge of 15 cents or more was im
posed, and for each of such messages

of said tax shall be required, notwith

sobs, firms, or corporations shall be

"O. H. ARNOLD. Jr."
Colonel Trammel and Judge Spencer
Atkinson will study the revenue act
carefully before replying, but no inti
inatio'n is given as to their position on
tlir question.
Mr. A Montgomery, agent of the
Southern Express companv, was asked
about the matter and said: -
"Our company has construed the law
differently from some of our patrons,
hut has no disposition to obstruct the
law.
"The Southern, American, Wells
Far-go, Pacific. Adamp and all the
standard express companies held a con
ference on this matter and (heir at
torneys, among the ablest in the coun
try, were present to advise them. They
nil agreed that the law (lid not specify
whether the shippers or the companies
should pay the tax."
"The Merchants' association of New
York has taken the matter up and is
in conference with representatives of
the express companies. This company
will cheerfully accept whatever deci
sion is reached there.
"I understand that the Texas railroad
commission took the matter up and un
dertook to force the express company
to pay the tax, but the commission's
lawyers advised that it had no juris
diction whatever over an interstate
matter, and the effort was dropped. It
may take a decision of the court to de
cide what is right, hut our company
wants to do what is fair and right, and
when the decision is reached will not
fight it, but will cheerfully aaquiesce."
PAYING THE SOLDIERS.
Paymaster General Stanton Says First
Regiment Officers are O. K.
Adjutant General Cowles today re
ceived a letter from Senator Pritchard,
enclosing a letter from the Paymaster
General Stanton which establishes the
position maintained by General Cowles
that the officers of the First Regiment,
having volunteered as a body from the
Fourth State Guard Regiment, would
be entitled to pay from date of enroll
ment. The letter is as follows:
Hon. J. C. Pritchard, U. S. Senate:
Sir I have the honor to acknowl
edge receipt, through you. of a letter
frr.ff! the Adjutant General of the State
of North ("fin-iina concerning the pay
ment of officers fr::n date of enroll
ment. It has been held that officers should
be paid only from da,te of muster Into
service of the United States except
where a complete regimental organiza
tion was presented to, and accepted
by the government. Complete as to
number of officers and men provided
for under the lawa of the State.
Enlisted men, of course, are
paid from the date of enroll
ment but the enrollment of men, is
not always sufficient to complete the
organization . of a company right at
once; and this is the reason for the
above action.
I presented the Hon. Mr. Marsh,
of the House Military committee, with
an amendment to the pending defi
ciency bill' on yesterday to provide
that officers should be paid like the
enlisted men, from date of enrollment.
I hope this amendment will be agreed
to, and would thank you for any as
sistance you may wish to give towards
its adoption.
Very respectfully,
T. H. STANTON.

WORK IN MORRO CASTLE
He Saw Cervora While In Havana in 1870

Water Supply Pipss no lUing
Searched for by shatter's Army
There is in Raleigh a man who has
known Admiral Cervera and who work
ed for the Spanish government at Ha
vana while Cervera was In that city in
1870. The man in question not only
knows Cervera, but many of the Inner
portion of Morro Castle at Havana
were as familiar to him as are the
streets of Raleigh and he now has in
his possession passports gjiven him
when he left Havana. At Santiago,
where the eyes of all Americans are
now turned, he was just 2S years ago
working for the Spanish government,
assisting in placing In position the
same pipes that supply water to the
city at this time and which the Am
erican forces under General Shafter are
now endeavoring to sever.
This man who has known Cervera
has travelled throughout Europe and
Asia and now has in his possession
articles formerly belonging to the Em
press of Japan and he has French pass
ports Issued to him thirty yerrs ago
that are now in e remarkable state of
pr-servation.
lii the North room of the long one
storied house On South Salisbury street
live Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Engle
hard. Mr. Englehardls an interest
ing character. His wife before mar
riage was Miss Guss Jolly of this city J
She is now a rheumatic invalid. Mr.
Englehard is a well read man and has
a stock of information that is of in
calculable value during this period of
the nation's history. lie is a bright
intelligent conversationalist and one
finds an hour swiftly passing when
hearing him tell of his adventures and
uf the situation in Cuba.
Mr. Englehard is now fifty seven
years of age and since his fifteenth
birthday lias seen service In many
roufVtrUs. Yesterday he told of his trips
to Cuba"'V."ay back in 1S57 and 1870
ind how in 170 ire X-at-r.e into the pre
senee of Admiral Cervera" vltf-a t that
time was preparing to move to aRti - O
ington to take up his duties as Naval
Attache of the Spanish legation to
which position he had Just been ap
pointed.
Mr. Englehard was at that time on
his second trip to Cuba. In 1S57 he
went to Havana as an apprentice serv
ing the Rogers Locomotive Company
which held the contract for placing In
position the pipes furnishing water to
Morro Castle. It was in August and
the rainy season was doing its disas
trous work among those who were ex
posed to the weather. The insurgents
up in the mountains. La Trocha, were
preparing for an uprising and there
were some insurgents in the city of
Havana.
Mr. Englehard was seen with an in
surgent and wras soon arrested by
Spanish officers. He wa taken before
the American Consul rnd in that offi
cer's rooms he met Cervera, the Span
ish Admiral now the prisoner of the
United States.
Mr. Englehard says Cervera was at
that time about thirty five years of
age. He was about five feet six or
seven inches high, carried himself
well and while ever courteous end
polite, was a man of few words.
During Mr. Englehard's first stay in
Cuba, in 1857, the celebrated filibuster,
Wlllirm Walker came neai the harbor
of Havana and filed two shots Into the
city. At that time filibustering expe
tions were numerous caused by the
desire of Americans to make states of
the island of Cuba, Walker was after
wards executed by Central American
authorities.
Speaking of Cuba, Mr. Englehard
said that at the time of his stay In
Havana yellow fever was epidemic and
thousands were dying from its effects.
He says fighting in Cuba is hoirible
work and he pitties the men who are
around Santiago. The mountains fur
nish powerful positions for the enemy
to make strong stands with small
forces. The country about. Santiacn
is wild and it is hard traveling during
this season of the year.
Porto Rico he says is much better
country and the class of people is su
perior to that of the Cubans. The
invasion in Porto Rico, he says, will
be more easily accomplished as the
country is low arid flat, only about the
centre of the Island is there any un
usual elevation. Throughout the Is
land of Porto Rico there are numerous
small rivers and the sane Is the case
in Cuba. Mr. Englehard says our
army will not be In danger of a water
famine. The ships of our Navy he says
can raise their guns to the highest
fortifications at Porto Rico and can
easily hurl projectiles into the island's
forts.
Mr. Englehard ls - a good
conversationalist and is taking
interest in the war with
Spain. His wife on account of
rheumatism is' not able to leave ber
room. She reads everything she can
find about the movements of our army
in :Cuba and Mr. Englehard explains
the situation to her in his own inter
esting maimer. She ls a woman of
lovable characteristics and though a
confirmed invalid she is as Jolly as a
sixteen year old girl.
