TWO g0L08ED CADET.s
Receive Appointments to the
 Annapolis Academy.
TROUBLE IS ALREADY PREDIoTBD

Naval Officers Do Not Take Well to
 Their Coming, and if They stand the
 Entrance Examination the Officers Fear
 Disturbances-onIy Three o.aer Such
 Instances Are on Record.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Information has come to the navy department of the appointment of two colored boys as cad. cts to the Annapolis academy, aud that permission has been given them to ap- pear for the entrance examinations next week. These two boys are said to have entered competitive examinations and, being successful over a large number of white boys, were designated by the con gressmen and they are now on their way to Annapolis.
 If 1t is true that colored boys are to contest with others for admission to the navy, it will be the first time in many years, and if admitted there may be an outbreak among the corps of cadets such as followed 20 years ago, and led not only to the expulsion of the eolored ca det, but of several white boys.
 There have been three instances in the history of Annapolis where colored men have appeared for admission and but one has passed the examination aud become 9 cadet. After two years work. however, he failed to meet the requirements and was dismissed because of this fact and because of some trou- ble that he had with members of his class. Colored boys, naval officers say, can never be welcome to Annapolis, and they say that it would be very unfor- tunate should one be graduated and ap- pointed 2 commissioned officer.
 At West Point, however, several col orea cadets have been admitted, and three have been appointed in the line of the army. One is now a second lieu tenant of q eolored infantry regiment in the west. At both institutions, colored cadets have invariably caused trouble among the corps, endingin the dismissal of several cadets
 The last eolored boy appointed to An napol1s came from Congressman Mur- rays district in South Carolina, and failed on two entrance examinations. Previous to that time no eolered boy had appeared at Annapolis for 15 years, and none had been admitted since Cadet Conyers failed to complete the oourse in 1876.
 Admiral Ramsay, when informed that two eolored boys had been nominated, expressed regret that congressman were so foolish, and predicted all outbreak of hazing if the new men were admitted. The new candidates are said to be from Illinois and the Pacific coast.
 It is asserted that conditions are diff ferent in the army, and that while 8 colored officer might be tolerated in the army, he would not be tolerated in the navy. There are four eolored regiments in the army to which colored officers, when commissioned, are appointed. In the navy, however, there are no ships manned by colored men, and colored of fieers would be placed in command of white men, It is openly asserted by both army and navy officers that no white Americans will submit to being commanded bv colored men.

Daa,b Before Surrender.

KEY WEST, Aug. 11.-Persons who
have arrived here from Cuba say that
General Bruno Zayas, the insurgent
leader, committed suicide recently
rather than surrender to the Spaniards.
General Zayas and five members OF
his staff were lunching in small town
in Havana province, when through
the treachery of the proprietor of the
restaurant the Spanish troops were no.
titled. The building was surrounded.
The Cubans refused to surrender and
a desperate fight ensued. General
Zayas was wounded and. bis five COM
panions were killed. The last bullet
in the generals revolver was fired into
his own heart. Sixteen Spaniards
were killed.

met today and adopted the following
resolution in regard to the bale of cot
ton bound with wire which was sent
here to be tested afew days ago:
Resolved, that the bale received was
tested and stood the strain OF compress
ing; that so far as the exporting of
cotton bound with these wires is con-
cerned, this exchange cannot pass an
official opinion in the absence of a
majority Of the exporters from the
city, but as far as we can see at pres

Hon. G. d. T,llman OF Bryan.

Hon. George D. Tillman has given
the Augusta Chronicle his opinion of
the Democratic nominee. Col. Till
man is not a man 10 60 wild over false
lights, but is a good Judge of human
nature, besides being stateman him
self. He says:
During my career in Congress l
spent sixteen winters in Washington,
where oL came in contact more or less
with nearly all the great men OF this
country. and with many from foreign
countries; and while serving two years
in Congress- with Bryan, he always
impressed me as being the greatest
man ever met, and as being just as
good as he was great. AS an orator l
have never heard but three men who
could be compared with him. They
were Ben Hill, Blaine and Blackburn.
He either knows everything or has
such facility OF reference to books
that he can quickly get any in
formation he wants. His memo
ry is simply marvellous and he has
such an intimate knowledge OF men
that he can read their characters at a
glance. He is always at work SEEK
ing knowledge, by reading. converse
ton or reflection, and seems to look
upon idleness as a crime. If he has
any small vice-chewing, smoking,
drinking, gaming, cursing, ETC., Inev-
er discovered it during two years per-
sonal and official intercourse with
him, In fact, the man always ap-
peared to be conscientiously inspired
with enthusiasm to do good for others.
Yet he is most devoted father, and
acts more like lover than 6 husband
towards his wife. In a few words,
morally speaking, he is so well bal
anced that he could not intentionally
do a wrong thingif he We're to try, and
his intellect is so clear and strong
that be always avoids evil as near as
it is human to do so. Therefore, l
think Bryan will be president-be-
cause he ought to be, because ne was
born great, and because not even the
presidency could confer greatness
upon him"
