GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY, N. cj., FRIDAY, OCTOBER U> IBgS. NO 84 WASRI>’GTON LtTTEli, I From our regular Correspondaut.^ V'> ASHi\GTorr5 0* 0 , Oei-10, 98. 'ib9 cov^r^ tbre^it. to reoop.n the war bv ser.cling a etrouff fla^t to the coast of Spaio, pent ou' fmm Washington this sveek, wasosteu- siblv intended to scare the Span ish government into direo iugthe jReace Commissioner.-', at Pans, to speeJily s-ocept the propositions made bv the Ameriiau Peace Commissioners, but icS real ob ject is to try to make votes for re publican .-andidates for Congress by stirring no 'he war spi it among he p60].Ie, and ask'ng tLem to btacd by tbi administra tion because the war isn’t oyer It is a queer sort of voter that this sort of thing will influence. That the Spanish Peace Commis sioners will q ibble and delay as long as possible is the natural thing to expect from. Spaniards^ but every fairly well-iDforrced person knov s that Spain is just as much bouod to aoceob tha terms of peace imposed by this govern ment as Greecs was bound to ac cept the terms imposed by Tur key, last year. The war with Spain will not be reopened, and if there is any bluster in that direc- ticn, it will be eoiely for political f fleet. War Depirlment officials are unduly elated because tho testi-^ mopyctGens. Joseph Wheeler B* V. Boynton ard Filzbugh Lee, taken by Mr. McKinley’s Com mission, this week, has been of the not proven order. That is to say, neither of the Generals nam ed were peisonally cognizant any mismanagement or neglect. It is beginning to be pretty well understood m Washington that the work of the Commission is to be so managed that no damaging testimony is to be taken uatil a*- ter the Congressional elections, unless it shall be given by some witness who gets marked “all right” by mistaks. Bepresenlative Dockery, of .Mo^ who has been making speeches ir more than thirty counties, out side of bis own Congressional dis trict, was ir Wa-hingten long enough, this week, to say that Missouri would give one of her o'd-tiii.e Democratic m&iorilies next month, and that the leglsla" turn to be elected would certainly re-elect Senator Cockrell. In a lorg reply to questions asked him concerning his branch of the vi ar Department, by Mr- McKinley’s Commission, Adju tant General Corbin attempts, by implication, throw f 11 the blame upon itdmiral Sampson for the troubles the army had in connec tion with the movement against Santiago. He doesn’t oi course charge that Sampson wasrespon- sirie for Shafter’s making the movement before arrangements for tbs welfrae of his men was completed, bm his reproduction of the lollowiog dispatches from SampEor, dated July T, implies just that. The first dispatch reads “If ten thousand men were here city of Saoii.igo ovould be ours in 48 hours,” and the second “Only await arrival of L’oopa to re dace Santia- o.'’ By the same sort of implication Sampson is-made to appear responsible for the coop ing up of our troops on the trans ports during the week they were dela.yed in Florida waters by re ports of danger from a spook Spanish fleet. Whether correct or nob the impression is now growing that Gen. Corbin in writ ing his answers, tried to make Sampson the scapegoat for all the mistakes made in the Santiago campaign, taking it for granted that Sampson’s unpopniaruy would make the public take k.ud- L to the schema- It may stir up enmity between the War and the Kavy Department thas may lea.i to uncovering .some things which were thought to be safely buried. Thr. public does cot used to bo informed that Samps , n is a pet of the Navy Dapar'-men*-. Aguinaldo’s man. Agoncillo, who has iusfc left Wa^bingron, is as good ai ooncealing h;s disap pointment Hs a professional cam- bler. AUhoug','. he Las received from the adaiini-tration neither promise nor recoguit.on, he is out with a published ata ement declaring himself phased with what he has accompli died in Wash ton, and announces hi.s in,mention to go to Paris to hy the claims of the insurgents before the Peice CommissicD, and his belief that fbe icdepeudsnce of the Philip pines is assured. If be doesn’t succeed in getting more attention paid to Aguinaldo’s claim in Par is than they have received in Washington, he is wasting bis own time and somebody’s money by going over there, and there is not the slightest pussibility that he will- The.American Commis sion will have their orders from Washington long before ho gets there. Lawyers for the defense seldom brinsr out any testimony against the accused. The memoer of the McJlinley War Investigation Commission-—“The illger Relief Commission,” is what a local pa per calls it—who have put the questions to the witnssses who have Eo f;»r testified may not con sider them lelvGB Secretary lawvere, but, if they were, their questions could not iu the opinion of many unprejudiot»J persons, have been more cartfally prepar ed to prevent I he giving of unie- sirtd eyidetcj. On wicness— Co’» e€, who v'^' arted to tell about some of the War Denaetmenl’.'? mismanagement, in tha *natter of transportation, without being questioned upon the subject, was once called down and informed that the Commission was not reddy to enter that branch of the invaetigation. He took the hint and thereafter only ans wered such questions as were asked. Gen. F. V. Boynton reiterated his the ory that files were responsible for so much sickness at Camp Thom- 9, and another witness.—a bri- ade surgeon—indorsed it. In stead of trying to find out, the tors, whose operations shocked the country, and brought a,bout an alleged invesligaiion, while the tariff was under consideration by the Senate Finance Commit tee- .At the investigation, Quay adopted blufling meshodn; told the Committee that he speculated in sugar or anything else, when ever he wished to, and in effect asked what the Committee was going to do about it- No real pa triot will deny that the country would be better off if all such men as Quay were driven out of the Senate and kept out. Nothing could show more ec- courag'-iment for democrats in Congressional Campaign than the fact that republicans acknowl edge their fear of losing four out of the eleven Iowa distiicts, now all represented by republicans- A gain r f thirty seats is all that is needed by the democrats to pur the republicans in a minority in the next house, and the prosp 3ct8 of getting them and many mure, is very bright at this time. Ex-Senator Blackburn, of Kei- tuckv, uow in Washington, said : “The political outlook in Ken tucky is as satisfactory as demo crats could wish. Of the eleven Congressional ‘Districts they will carry nine certainly, and of Ibe remaining two there is moie than an even chance to carr.y one, the Louisville district. It seems to me that there is every reason to regard the condition of the demo cracy throughout tue Naticn^with complacencyr and I believe that the gams made by the party in Ncven:ber, will be large in a ma jority of the states- ’ - Mr. McKiDl()y is said to bo 7cr,v' much disgusted at the posi ion taken by Teddy Boosevolt, that his election to be governor of New York is necessary as au iu- dorsement of the administration and the war. and it would uoi be surprising if he should take some way of letting it become known that he would not consider Boose Veit’s defeat an affront to himself or his administration, a-ihougb oressure is hei'^gbrought to keep bis mouth shut. $100 Reward $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least DEPEND UPON US F perfect; sitisc leSio 1 and vaUie for your money.
