substance which will not absorb the oil
from the sulvc, and will leave it dry,

The Grave of IL Revolutionary Hero
and Patriot Who Was Killed on

Piedmont Sun.
About mile and half from Pied
| mont just beyond ltohobcth church on
the pu!Zor road and on Il knoll back in
an oak grove, stands an ordinary plank
house that WAS built by General Robert
Maxwell either just before or just
after the Revolutionary war. This was
the home Of General Maxwell during
the trying times between the Wings
and Tories in the days Of our rcvolu-
tion, so tradition tells us.
General Maxwell represented the
upper portion Of South Carolina in the
first Continental Congress, and this
caused the British government to set
II price upon his head, along with such
men as Washington, Marion, Sumter
and others. He was a man of brain
with broad views, penetrating mind,

following an old Indian trail that
passed through where Piedmont now
stands ana crossed the river on the
shoat where Tho dam is built. When
he reached tho river on his way n man
disguised as an indian shot him, and
he died from the wound. He was Il

din was deafening. and, OF course. two
sets OF delegates were elected. Two sets

reigned for twenty minutes. The police

baby occurred.
In the Thirty-second District con-
fore an organization could be ef-
fected: Upon preliminary matter
the Plat wing was outyoted by
81 to 4s The Plat men thereupon bolted,
and organized another convention. The
police did their utmost to preserve order.
II Is claimed by the anti-Platt people
that they elected their delegates I'm the
First. Second, Thirteenth, Eighteenth. and
Twenty-seventh districts. Two sets OF
delegates were elected In several districts.
Among the prominent delegates are

MISFORTUNE TO The CuBANs.
Capture of Arms, Ammunition, &C.,
by the Spanish.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. March @.-Min-
lister Dupuy de LONE received the fol-
lowing telegram from the Governor-Gene-
raj Of Cuba this morning:
"HABANA, March 20, l8s6.-The detach-
ment OF Varadero. near Cardenas, cap
tured 80 boxes OF ammunition for REM
ington and Winchester rifles, nine boxes
Of cavalry rifles, fourteen tin boxes OF
medicines, twenty knapsacks, covered
with oil-cloth, two boxes OF explosives,
and three boats.
Minister de LONE has no doubt that all
this material was that landed by the Col
azo expedition from Cedar Keys In the
Schooner J. =. Mallory, captured by
United States revenue-cutter' released Dy
the customs authorities at Tampa, and
afterwards transshipped near the southern
coast OF Florida to the steamer Three

THE THREE BOATS.
HABANA, March 0-A government
launch has arrived at Cardenas, having In
tow three boats that had been used In
landing a filibustering expedition on va
Vadoc beach. A fight between the troops
and insurgents followed the landing OF
the expedition. No accurate account OF
the result of the fight is obtainabie. Adj
dtional troops have been sent in pur-
suit of the rebels.
There is no news of Maceo's operations
in the province OF Pinar del Rio. Eight

train have been sent to reinforce the

place called Elvaradere. All the arms
aboard had been landed, save 145 cases or
ammunition, when the gunboat Caridad
