THE CUBAN REVOLT.
Insurgents Gain Confidence Nearly
As Bad As In 1868.

Key West, Fla, March f7.-The first
clear and trustworthy statement of the
condition of affairs in the eastern end of
Cuba was brought, yesterday, by a pas
senger on the steamer Mascotte.
II have travelled through the noun
famous districts constantly since trouble
began" said he, "and matters are now in
a much worse condition than at the begin
ming. The fighting started in desultory
and scattered fashion, but the forces
gradually became crystallized, and now
there are fully 5000 men under arms.
They are in 10 or dozen detachments,
but are giving the government no end of
trouble. In many cases the Spanish troops
have been beaten back with heavy loss.
THE most deplorable feature OF the
warfare is the pillaging and burning on
the part of insurgents. The insurgents
have gained confidence since the begin
ming of the trouble, and matters In that
district are in almost as bad condition
as during the war of 1868. New leaders
are springing up, and by the force of their
intellect and ability they have induced the
insurgents not to hold off longer for the
arrival Of old leaders. The general opin-
ion in Santiago is that il the insurgents
can hold out until summer the yellow
fever will help them greatly.
1T is said that both Rabi and Masso
are confident of taking Santiago before
October The Spanish troops are guard
ing every road, and nobody is allowed to
pass without giving the strictest account
of himself. 1t is as much as mans life
is worth in Santiago to talk In favor Of
the Cubans or to tell the truth. Several
persons have been shot on account of an
expression of opinion.
-Four Spanish cruisers were In the
harbor of Santiago one week ago, now
there are but two guarding the eastern
coast, and one the southern.
The passenger also said the revolt would
kill business in Cuba for two years.
Money is already scarce and prices arc
high. A panic is feared. 1t seems to DO
the general impression among the Span
iards that the United States feels bitterly
toward the Spanish government and
would like nothing better than an excuse
TO seize the island. Hence their hatred
of the Americans. Nothing official has
been received of the report of Spanish
cruiser firing on the Alliance. 1t Is I'M
derstood that the Spanish officials In
Havana claim the Alliance was within
three miles of shore, and that the cruiser
had right to sink her on her refusal to
halt

A DANGEROUS OBSTRUCTION.
Sunken Barge Directly in Path Of Vessels or
Point Judith.

New London, Ct, March 17.-Steamer
Tuckahoe arrived, his afternoon, on the
way from Fall River to New York. Yes
terday, one mile west of Point Judith
breakwatcr she picked up the tug Joseph
Stickney, with her valve stem broken and
lowed her into Newport The Tuckahoe
took the Stickney's tow Of five barges to
Narragansett Pier. Captain Vanetten
reports that submerged hulk, probably
a sunken barge, apparently held by her
anchors, is southeast from Point Judith
light, about third of the way to the
whistling buoy, directly in the path Of
steamers and is Q most dangerous obstruc-
ton to navigation. The hulk Is exposed
at intervals, and vessels are liable to run
upon it. The Tuckahoe went within 100
feet of 1t. At 0 this morning. Captain
Staples Of the tug Dean. saw the hulk
twice some 400 or 500 feet northeast OF
the whistling buoy.

THE PRESIDENT RETURNS.
He is Much Refreshed and Brings Home Lots
OF Game.

Washington, March II. - President
Cleveland returned to Washington, yester-
day afternoon, after his II days of recrea-
ton on the water. AS he stepped down
the gang plank from the Violet to the
wharf he looked hale and hearty, and
smiled broadly when somebody in the
crowd shouted: "Bring out the ducks. "
There was glow Of health upon his
cheeks which was not there when he left
Washington on March 5, the day after
Congress had adjourned.
1t was just 4. Is when the Violet tied
up to her wharf. About $50 persons were
there awaiting her arrival. The air was
raw and stiff wind fretted the river with
white caps. Mr.. Cleveland and his com
panions kept to the cabin while the land
ing was being effected. 1t was here that
they were greeted by Mr.. Thurber, who
had vaultcd over the gunwale of the boat
before the gang plank was run ont.
The President was accompanied by his
companions on the trip, Dr. O'Roilly of
the army, his physician; Commander
Wilde, United States navy, the naval
secretary of the lighthouse board, and
Commander Lamberton, United States
navy, the lighthouse inspector of the fifth
inspection district. The crowd escorted
him in silence to his carriage He drove
away with Mr. Thurber.
Enough game was brought back to send
hampers to all the cabinet officers in
town, to Mr.. Thurbcr and to the homes
of the Presidents companions, not to speak
of plentiful supply for the White House
table.
Most of the sport was bad in Pamlico
Sound, and the President bagged fair
share. Captain Donald of the Violet, says
Mr.. Cleveland is one of the best shots he
has ever seen. Tho party had much bad
weather, but did not suffer any incon-
vcniences.
The trip from Norfolk was uneventfnl.
Last night the weather was very thick,
and Captain Donald decided to lay to off
ST. Georges island in the Potomac, at the
mouth of st. Mary's river, about 10 miles
below Washington. At daybreak, Satur-
day, the Violet resumed her journey reach
ing the Indian Head proving grounds at
20 p. NJ. Here brief stop was made to
send MESSAGE by telephone to MI.
Thurber, and then tho Violet continued
t, Washington without stopping again.

UNDER HIS THUMB.
Emperor William Runs the Council Of State
lust TO Suit Himself.

Berlin, March 17.-Eugen Richter
Freisinnigc Zeitung gives movingi pic
ture of misery suffered by the council of
state under the Emperor's craftsmanship.
Richter says the members have got to
point where they pray that the Emperor
will stay away, and thus leave them free
to say what they think. His Majesty has
list of speakers in his hands and dictates
the order in which they may take the
floor.
AS nobody dare go out when bored all
are obliged to remain for hours in their
chairs and listen to the most dolorous dis
cussion over trifies The most trivial
speeches must be cheered. As the Emperor
has forbidden Interruptions and cries of
dissent, it is only dreary waste of ready
made applause for those taking part in the
debates.

SLOW sur SAFE AND SURE.
Steamer Acts As Ruddss 10 One which Mas
Lost re- Own.

New York, March 17.-Thc National
line steamer Spain. which had been re-
ported by the steamer Berlin on Mach ,,
in lat. AZ. %, long. 5l.36, In tow Of Dutch
tank steamer Hcsbaye and acting as ruo-
der for the latter, arrived at the bar at
o o'clock, yesterday afternoon, and after see
ing her consort safely anchored outside
the whistling buoy. proceeded to tluaran-
tine, where she anchored ut $50 O'CLOCK.
/ Captain w. A. Grifiiths, the veteran
commander of the Spain, told the story Of
the long. weary tow. The Spain LETT
London, February 25, and all went well
until March Z, in lat. 1880 and long
40. 26. when the officer Of the watch re-
ported steamer hove to with signals fly
ing. -e.G -, !,
The Spain bore down upon her and
learned She was the Dutch oil tank Hes
baye, Captain Eekhoff, from Antwerp for
New York, with rudder and rudder post
gone. She was flying the signal flags N.
C., which means, Sin distress; want as
sistance."
A boat was lowered from the oil tank
and went alongside and asked If the Spain
would consent to be lowed and act as rud-
der Captain Griffiths agreed, and the
boat returned aud brought the end of a
hawscr, which was made fast to the
knight heads on the SPANS bow.
The weather began to look foul, and be-
fore o'clock in the evening a fresh south
west gale was blowing and driving down
a thick fog. Suddenly the hawser parted,
and as it was too thick to see much, the
vessels lay by until morning. At day
light new arrangement of the towing
apparatus was made, which proved more
satisfactory, but the same day the hawser
again parted, and was again made fast.
This time it lasted until the 18th, when
in q moderate south southeast gale and
rain storm it again parted.
The crew of the Hesbaye did all the
small boat work. When under way the
Spain's engines were kept going, but not
SO fast as to slack the strain on the haw-
scr. On the night Of the 14th strong
northeast gale set in, but moderated again
the next day. Friday night it was very
thick weather, with much snow and hail,
and it was difficult to see the Hesbaye' S
lights, so as to steer her. The White Sar
liner Britannia went rushing by at day
light, Friday, bound to this port. She
merely dipped her flags to the Spain, and
did not pause to make sure of the condi-
ton of things. and so reported the Spain
disabled and in tow.
No further incident occurred. All
hands are we'll on both ships Captain
Griffiths says he has no idea what the sal
wage will be- He says he found steamer
in very hard luck, and was glad to be of
service to her. H would expect the same
courtesy at the hands Of another captain
were the conditions the same.

London, March 17.-Lord Kimberley,
secretary of the foreign Office, answered,
yesterday, the request Of the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce, that Sir Julian
Paunccfote be instructed by cable to
secure the protection Of British subjects
in New Orleans. The shooting Of the
steamship Engineers purser during the
recent riots gave rise to the request.
Lord Kimberley said he had communi.
Gated with Mr.. Gresham, the secretary OF
state, who on the 10Th received the assur-
ances of the Governor Of Louisiana that
the life and PROF erty Of foreigners would
be protected AMI the crews OF foreign
steamers were in no danger The Cover

Rome, March 1.-THE semi-official

President Cleveland and Secretary Ores
ham have taken steps to bring to justice
the murders of the Italians in Walsen-
burg, Colorado. After comparing the
present governments order to the Gov
ornor OF Colorado, with the irrcsolute me-
gotiations concerning the New Orleans
massacres, they say that Americas con-
duct in this case is as honorable to her as
tiattering to the Italian national senti-
ment.

Food for Man and Beast.

Dr.. V. P. Clayton, who now lives IN
Columbia, but formerly lived in this
county, is trying some experiments
with the always interesting cotton
seed. The cotton plant of the South
NAV become not only the means of
clothing people, Of feeding animals
of fertilizering the soil, but if the e1-
pertinent of DR.. Clayton succeeds 1t
may become an important food tor
man. Dr.. Clayton's little nephew, a
little fellow about five years old, was
accustomed TO 60 with him to feed his
cattle, and the little fellow would eat
the cotton seed meal from the feed
bins. "For more than two years."
says DR.. Clayton, che has eaten 1t
with avidity," and is well developed
physically. Dr.. Clayton tried mixing
it with two-thirds of white flour or
corn meal, aud had it baked or fried
as batter or dough. He finds that it
cooks well, and that it possessed a
rich nutty flavor very pleasant to the
palate. This weuld certainly make a
cheap food, and the experiment will
be watched with considerable inter-
est. 1t may be that some method will
be decoysred by which the meal may
be used without mixing with anything
else.

CENrkEv1LLE, March 2, 1S95.-lt
has been some time since the corre-

word to say. Want of opportunity
and want of pens has prevented our
weekly correspondence. We have not
hardly time now to write; something
else is to be done. The S inch snow is
gone and the earth has become soft
again. 1t is time now to be hearing
that "get up mule, what are you do
iug??" We have only heard few Of
those old time remarks yet, but if
this beautiful sun shine weather
conti.,ues the soil in this section will
soon DC turned upside down. Not to
plant cotton in, oh no! but corn and
peas and potatoes. Last years dose
of fve-cents cotton is plenty: thanks
for a while. We cannot eat cotton
neither can we pay debts with it at
five cents and It's very likely to be
lower. We can live independent with
our sorghum molasses, hog and
hominy.
There is not one entered the hog
contest in this section that we know
OF, but there will be hogs raised here
all the same.
