The Spanish Minister at Washing
ton recently telegraphed to Captain
General Jovellar, asking him to in
quire as to the truth or falsity of
the report that a secret order has
been issued by General Martinez
Campos, commanding all military
chiefs to cause all prisoners of war
to be shot and then reported as hav-
ing been killed on the field of bat
tie. The Captain General, under
date of Havana, December 4, tele.
graphed as follows:
Although I do not consider it ne
cessary to deny falsehoods, publicly
known to be such, I inform Your
Excellency, in order for you to make
use of the information in such man.
ner as you may deem proper, that
the report of an alleged secret cir
cular about the shooting of prison
ers--said by the Cuban insurgent
papers to have been used by the
General-in-Ch which has been
copied by some other papers-is ut
terly without foundation and an un-
scrupulous forgery. The conduct
Of the Spanish troops is, on-the con-
trary, every day becoming more
generous and humane, and It is im>
possible to find a single instance in
the opposite direction.

Shortly after his departure he heard a

The report Of the Postmaster
General shows q deficiency in
that department for the last fis-
cal year of nearly five million
dollars. There has been a small
increase Of expenditure in the
preceding year, growing out of
the increased postal facilities
that have been given to the pub
lie and a material decrease Ill the
receipts. The latter is mainly
due to the falling off in the item
of official postage stamps and in
the money order business. The
amount derived from the former
item last year was over a mil
lion and quarter Of dollars,
while this year it is q trifle un-
der three hundred and eighty
thousand. The Postmaster Gen
eral points out how this loss oc-
curs-namely through the mex
pedient law, which provides for
the payment Of the salaries of
ninety-six per cent Of the post
masters through percentages on
their sales Of postage stamps.
The postmasters thus paid dis
pose of their stamps in a man
ner not contemplated by the law.
A country postmaster is gener-
ally in business, and he pays the
city merchant Of whom he pur-
chases goods partly in postage
stamps. OF the stamps thus
disposed Of the government gets
only small percentage. The
merchant receiving the stamps.
Of course, does not purchase OF
his city postmaster, who re.
ceives regular salary, and
makes full return to the govern
ment of all the money he re-
ceives for stamps. The Postmas-
ter General recommends salar-
les for all postmasters and the
full receipt of all postage stamp
sales by the government.

The Secretary of the Navy, in
his report says the navy in its
present condition, as compared
with that Of any other Power,
has less aggressive force than at
any time during the past third
of a century, except during the
war, and less power to. lnfiict
serious injury upon the commerce
of the enemy. Indeed, the fact
cannot be concealed, and ought
not to be, for it is we'll known to
other nations that third and
even fourth rates, almost with
out exception, are superior to us
in this respect.

WHAT WAS DONE NoRTH.-We
have diligently inquired in rela-
tion to what was accomplished
by Watkins council with the
Indians at Spokane, and from all
we can gather 1t practically
amounted to nothing. In the
first place Watkins had no pres
ents and no money to use in in
ducing the Indians to be at the
council and not more than 200,
all told, were there. They were
asked to go upon the reserva-
tions and to designate the lands
they wanted for their respective
reserves, which some Of them
did designate, and they were
told that recommendations sho'ld
be made to Washington IN ac-
cordance with their wishes
Watkins told them he could not
promise them anything definite
ly, that all would have to be
submitted to the authorities at
Washington. The Indians want
ed to know then what was the
object of the council. If he could
not promise them anything how
could he expect them to promise
to go on the reservations. They
must first see and understand
that they were to have some
thing in return for their going
upon reservations. We under
stand that conditional promises
or agreements were signed by
some ofthem, while others would
not sign them, among the latter
was Spokane Geary. Moses new
er made his appearance in the
council, but Sherwood was sent
to him to find out his t,m tum
and then report 10 Gen. Wheat
en-, to whom Watkins entrusted
the matter during his absence.
We learn that the half-breeds
who are as we'll posted as any
about the opinions Of these In
dians, say it will be useless to
attempt to compel these Indians
to 60 upon reservations; that
they will fight before they will
gO.-IeUer.

A tragic occurrence happened

A tragic occurrence happened
in Norfolk, Va, recently, involv-
ing the death Of two young peo-
pie in manner both romantic
and startling. A young painter
named Benjamin Godfrey, about
eighteen years of age, has been
for several months deeply in love
and engaged to be married to
Miss Mollie f. Winingder, a
very beautiful and sweet-temp-
cred young lady seventeen years
of age, the daughter Of Stephen
Winingder, a prominent butcher
of Norfolk. A few days since
the couple became estranged and
the lady refused to see her ad-
mirer. This morning Godfrey
followed Miss Winingder to the
Cumberland Street Methodist
Church and after service insisted
on seeing her home. The young
lady peremptorily refused the
proffered gallantry and her
would-be escort left her in a fu-
riously angry mood. Godfrey
was further inccnsed by seeing a
MIR. Graham go home with his
affianced. 1t seems that he then
went off to a barroom and got
drunk, after which, about four
o'clock this afternoon, he pro-
cured a revolver and went to the
residence Of Mr.. Winingder and
asked an interview with Miss
Mollie. The request was grant
ed and the young lady came out
into the hallway to meet him
AS she did so Godfrey drew his
pistol and aiming it at her heart
fired. Miss Winingder fell and
died within few Moments
Godfrey at once placed the muz-
zle Of the weapon to his own
breast, and blew a horrible and
ghastly hole through his body.
He was carried to the station
house and is expected to die eve
ry moment.

The Dis nal Swamp of Virginia Healthy Region.
TSuTJlk Herald


This section of country, bordered by the
counties of Norfolk aud Nansemond in
Virginia, aud by Gates and Camden in
North Carolina, is remarkable for many
things. 1t is not properly a swamp in the
general acceptatiOn of the word, but it is.
IN fact, depression or basin on elevated
land, its summit level being twenty two
feet above tidewater at Norfolk. In truth
thought to be called the great Virginia and
North Carolina Juniper Basin. Its area is
abO4t twenty miles square, and centrally
located in it is "Lake Drummond," made
famous by the poet Tom Moore. This lake
is ak miles wide and seven long, with q
depth of fifteen feet. The lake is prolific
of fish-such as club, speckled perch,
blackfsh, gar, brown perch, and catfish
The game of the swamp is abundant, and
consists of deer, bear, raccoon, wildcat,
squirrels and other small game. However
strange it may seem to the uninitiated, it
may safely and truthfully be said that
there is no place in tho known world more
healthfal or more conducive to longevity
than the midst of this so-called swamp.
There is no reason for death except from
old age. There never has been a
case of sickness OF any kind whatever
known in the swamp, although hundreds Of
men have spent tire greater part of their
lives there in getting lumber.

AGREEABLE to call, signed by a
number of our citizens, meeting was
held on the Sth ult., for the purpose OF
organizing militia company and com
pany of volunteers for the Indian war
east of the mountains.
Tue meeting was called to order by
L. Morse and e. c. Ferguson was elected
chairman and A. G. Folsom Secretary.
L. Morse, being called on by the
chairman to state the object OF the meet
ing, did so by reading the call and re.
lerrlng to Gov. Ferry's tender Of 500
volunteers to Gen. Howard; and hoped
IL full comp"ny Of volunteers could be
obtained in this county.
In compliance with vote of the
meeting, the Secretary drew up two doc.
uments, one for the signature Of vOlun-
teers and the other for such US wished to
enter the organization Of permanent
militia company.
All who were willing to volunteer and

yited to come forward and sign their
names; twenty.onc signatures were OBJ.

paper. Quite number also enrolled
for the permanent militia company.
A committee, consisting OF l.. L.

The goose is sick. It's little green oozy

on the readers of the Dispdtch.

portunity. Ii they don't make corner
