From our Regular Correspondent.- Washington, Aug. 19, ltMS TT3&4$&!iBte&:zJ&! He's aiJFW) tie s r jg358TSr,y Raleigh oT!n7wSrSi','tak,ng v fought the first, battle the last battle, and won both without the injury of a ship or the loss of a man, and some of his ships may be fighting yet, as he started them after the capture of Manila, and before he knew anything of the armistice, for some of the other Islands in the Philip pines, with orders to take possession of everything in sight and to raise the American flag over everything captur ed. There was no way of recalling these ships after news of the armistice reached him, so that it is among the probabilities that every one of the Philippine Islands may be under the American flag before the commanders of those ships find out anything- about an armistice, and the armistice is not binding upon them until they have of ficial knowledge of it. f No man's hand has been shaken of tener or more affdially this week than that of 'Fighting Joe" Wheeler, who came to Washington in response lo or ders from the War Department. Gen eral Wheeler has a better opinion of the Cuban insurgents than most of the of ficers win' have been heard from cm the subject. He said of therh: "The Cubans I'crc poorly eiad and poorly fed. They did not make a yitv inmies- ii trie roads and other projects fur the assistance of the American army. I think that was due to a lnrtie extent to their not understanding what the work x. lis for. I found Cubans who Mere willing to work after interpreters had explained to them why the work was necessary." Major General M. C. Butler, w'tio. with Major General J. F. Wade and! I 'ear Admiral Sampson, will represent the United States on the military com mission to arrange for the evacuation of Cuba, said of their duties: "I think 1 realize the responsibility that rests upon the commissioners. It Is very great, but I shall do my best to win the approval of the country." General Ilutler said the commission would go to Havana on a warship upon which they will for a time make their head quarters. The Torto Rican commission consists of Major General J. R. Brook, Rear Admiral Schley and Brigadier General Gordon. Senator Allison, who is noted as one of the shrewdest leaders In his party, has declined to serve as a peace com missioner, probably because he was afraid that he would be compelled to put himself on record for or against something. In an interview he talks on both sides of the Philippine question, in the following language: "The feel- in the west is universal that where ii. i i , i come down. Therefore, as respects a coaling station or a commercial base, there is little difference of opinion. On the larger question of holding the en tire archipelago, the public mind is not fully made up. I find men talking- for and against such a proposition. I do not believe that two-thirds of the Sen ate would vote for a treaty that re tained the entire group, and yet I am certain that we could not get two thirds to ratify a treaty that surrend ered everything. Consequently, we will hold something just how much no one can say." This leaves Mr. Allison en tirely free to take whatever side of the question he. may decide to be the most popular and is in that respect strictly AUisenian. While in Washigton this week Gen eral Fita Lee made formal announce ment of his candidacy for the United States Senate, although the campaign will not actually be fought until next year. Senator Martin is a candidate for re-election. No Republican has publicly criticised the selection of Col. John Hay, Ameri can Ambassador to England, to suc ceed Secretary Day at the head of the Department of State, but not a few unprintable things have been said by many of them in private. Colonel Hay fs a Republican, but not a politician, hence the kicking. The;, first plan of the administration, to keep all the volunteers la service until the treaty of peace with Spain was completed, has been changed, an it is now anonunced that about 100,000 of the men will be mustered out as rapidly at possible. .-',. , ' ANNIVERSARY.

CRAWFORD'S RESIGNATION Reported That His Resignation Was Not a Surprise to the Company. Specials to both of the morning pa pers today announced that Capt. A. J. Crawford of Company K, First North Carolina Regiment had resigned his position and would return to Raleigh. This was quite a surprise in this city, however, as it was thought that Capt. Crawford would remain with his com pany to the last. No reason Is given for his resignation but it Is said that when he desired to come to Raleigh for a day or two the second time Col. Arm field refused his request for a furlough. Capt. Crawford was determined to come so he secured the necessary furlough notwithstanding Col. Armfleld's oppo sition. This doubtless caused some un pleasantness between Co. Armfield and Capt. Crawford and may have led to the latter's resignation. A CLOUD BURST. By Telegraph to The Times-Visitor. Pittsburg, Aug. 19.

His scanty locks were frosty white, his step was feeble and shaky and there was an uncertain hazy look in his watery eyes, while a visible tremor was in his voice. The Judge asked kindly: "Old uncle, where do you hail from and what brought you here?" The old man raised his head and re plied: "Boss, in the sear and yellow leaf of life, without home, relative or friend, I've tramped nearly the whole circumference of this terrestrial ball to once more and for the last time look upon the play ground of my infancy. Yes, Boss, away back when Mr. Walter Raleigh sailed the Mayflower up Wal nut creek and discovered this place, John L'pchurch and me were little boys, catching shad roaches with pin hooks in Rocky branch, where it joins Wal nut creek. That day I became a wan dered. Mr. Walter Raleigh gave me a nickel to show him to W. E. Jones' store (for he had read the advertise ment in The Times-Visitor and John l'pchurch tried to take hat nickel away from me and I ran away. For more than a hundred years I have tried to shun that man, but this morning, foot-sore and weary, I wandered back 10 this village to find Mr. Upchurch an officer, and still with spite and pre judice against me, he arrested me as a tramp. Why, boss.' I knows you. I used to trot your great-grand daddy on my knee when he was a little bit of a boy." The Judge w iped his eye, Micaja was w celling, arose and looked at the court. Judge Roberts looked at tile tear-stain ed face of his janitor and asked if he desired to speak. .Micaja sirnighleiled up and said: "May il pl asc the court, this is another instance of the reckless official luelidu-;-.t illustrated in the ..v r-auxiousness lo mcai cerate the tr i-mltliiig form of iliis iie-d bi-..lln-r within the contmes ' f a prison cell.
