Steamer Commodore.

Washington, March 3O.-The
collector of customs at Charles
ton, S. c.. has informed the
Treasury that an engineer on
the steamer Commodore has
made a statement that the Cons
modore recently landed on her
last trip from Charleston a lot
of arms and body of men on Gu
ban soil. The vessels papers on
the trip we're taken out as far
South as Tampa, Fla, and did
not permi5 her to touch on for
eign soil. The collector says he
has turned over the information
to the United States District At
torney and says that if the en-
gineer's statement is corrobcr-
ated by other testimony the YES
sci will be proceeded against for
violation of the United States
navigation laws. In case of con-
viction, the Commodore is liable
to forfeiture under Section 1887
of the Revised Statutes.

Republicans Only Want TOWN,

The Republicans of the South,
with rare exceptions, care
nothing for the money issue and
quite as little for the tariff issue,
outside of some leading manu-
facturers, chiefly Northern men
who are located in the South.
They want to win, and they are
willing to win with the Populists
or against the Populists, or with
or against any other combination
or faith. There is a strong
Democratic element in favor of
sound money, but it is not at all
certain that it can stamp its
mastery upon the Democratic
organizations of a majority Of the
Southern States.
There has been a new develop
ment in the South in the strug 4.
gle for the Republican Presi-
Dental nomination. Fully one
year ago the Mckinley leaders
covered the entire South and
spent money lavishly to organize
the always purchasable leaders
who control the Republican or>
CARNATIONS. It was done quietly
but very efectually, and it is
only within the last few months
that this speculative movement
of the Mckinley leaders became
known and appreciated by the
friends of the other candidates.
Since then they have made earn
est efforts to unsettle the Nc
Kinley contracts, but with
only partial success. 1t
might have been done but
the unexpected development of
the American Protective Asso-
citation in the Southern States,
which is probably quite as com
mercial here within the circle of
it's managers as are the other
Republican politicians of the
South. While the A.P.A.'s are
not as strong in the South as in
the North, they are strong
enough to render Mckinley a
very great service in holding his
lines which we're organized on a
cash basis a year ago. Being a
secret organization, their power
was not suspected until it made
itself manifest in the control OF
conventions in the South as it
has done in the North. 1t is to-
day solid for Mckinley in the en-
tire South, and it is regarded
here as entirely speculative in its
political movements. 1t will
probably save Mckinley many
delegates in this region which
would otherwise be lost to
him, regardless of the contracts
made and paid for a year ago.

At high tide she backed off into

A correspondent of the I'm
perial in Havana telegraphs that
the decree issued by Captain
General Weyler declaring that
those opposing the government
would be dealt with with the ut
most possible severity has
made a good impression upon
Spanish circles in Cuba. Prison
ers continue to arrive. The ad
vance guard of the rebel forces
under Maceo are skirting the
Northern part of the province
of Pinar Del Rio. . The insur
gents leader Gomez is inactive
and is in very bad health, Au-
Economists will abstain from vot-

PikeyiIIe Letter.

PGKvEvILI.E. N. c., Mc'h &c.,
Dear Argus Wednesday morn
ing dawned bright and beautiful
and at an early hour the relatives
and friends of Mr.. and Mrs. N.
S. Perkins began to assemble at
their residence near here, to wits
ness the marriage of their amia>
BILE aud Interesting daughter,
Miss Flossie to MIR. W. FL. Ed
gerton. an enterprising and pop
ular young merchant of Kenly.
Exactly at 11:3O o'clock the
bride and groom. who were both
in beautiful attire, marched
gracefully into the rarlor, which
was profusely decorated with
fresh and fragrant flowers, and
it was then that Elder J. II.
Edgerton STEPPED forward and
performed the ceremony in his
usual elegant and very impress
sive style.
The walters we're as follows:
Mr.. S. D. Perkins the grooms
''best man" with Miss Efie Blow
first brides maid; Mr. E.. J. Pate
with Miss Sallie Perkins; MIR. J.
F, Hosea with Miss Mollie
Smith. Immediately Daft r. the
ceremony the company repaired
to the dining room where they
found the table bountifully sup
piled with everything that could
be desired to eat and they all eat
with much zest and merriment.
At 4 o'clock p. m. the happy
couple left for the home of groom
at Kenly. May their lives through
out be as pleasant as the beauti-
full spring day on which they
were married and their pros
pect as it's noon-day sun.
Messrs: Smith, Fort & Co
are having some much needed
improvements made on their
-four and grist mills at this place
and will soon be ready to serve
their customers again.
Mr.. A. S. Fort returned home
Friday from a pleasant trip to
Norfolk.
Pikeville now has a new mer-
cantile firm, composed Of Messrs.
J.'R., R, H., and +. D. Smith.
The firm is styled Smith Bros.
They are a clever and deserving
set of young men and we bespeak
for them a liberal share of pat
ronage.
Judging from the weather to-
day it really seems like spring
time has come and already our
good friend Mr., K. B. Smith is
trying the river to see if the fish
will bite. Well, we think it is
hardly advisable for him to try
his luck until 81. M. H" begins
to touch his ''bitters" a little
lighter and announces in poetry
through the columns of the
ARGUS that Spring has come
enough. j. F. II.

SITUATION In CUBA.
The Spaniards on the Defensive.
New York, March 80.

Ebert Rappleye, the Cuban
war correspondent of the Mai
and Express, who was recently
expelled from Havana, arrived
here to-day On the steamer Yu-
catan. In an interview Mr.. Rap
pleye said:
II came hack from Cuba as 9
.'deportado" of Gen. Weyley. Ii
his decree expelling me from the
island I am called an enemy OF
Spain, that charge being based
on letters published in the Mai
and Express over my signature
ANY person familiar with exist
ing conditions in the island Of
Cuba would know that the only
enmity, if any, I have shown to-
ward Spain has been in telling
the truth without fear or pre-
iudice. This, of course, has re
suited in my expulsion.
LAS an impartial observer, sent
to Cuba to study and inform my
self and report the progress OF
events, Iunhesitatingly state that
within three months the insur-
gent cause would be triumphant
if the Uuited States Government
would grant the beligerency right
and give the Cnbans anything
resembling a fighting emporium
lty. The Spanish are now on the
defensive. Every battle fought
in Cuba in the past thirty days
has been invited by the rebels.
They have more ammunition now
than they ever have had, and it
they can MAINTAIN a source Of
supply, there is not anything
that can prevent them from wins
ing.
"Gen. Weyler has been SPANS
greatest mistake in the war. His
name and reputation carried
Odium which attracted the at
tention of the world. The best
evidence of his bad generalship
is his complete failure to hold the
insurgent armies back after they
had left the Western province Of
Cuba. Maceo started his western
compaign, which IS now complete
with 5000 men, one-third Of
whom had not a single arm to
fight with. Those who had guns
went into battles with one Or
two cartridges, and fought know
ing that unless they captured
the enemy's ammunition they
would have nothing to fight with
the next day. They are coming
back now with the whole cargo
from the Bermuda, and Gen.
Weyler is Withdrawing the
Spanish defences from at least
one half of the principle points
of the island to bar the progress.
This leaves Gomez with a
larger army than Maceo, practi-
cally unrestricted to do as he
pleases in three quarters of the
area of Cuba, while the barrier
which Weyler is attempting to
place before Maceo is acknowl-
edged by one of his own generals
with whom 1 talked just before
my departure. to be but little
stronger numerically than Ma
ceo's army. Notwithstanding the
fact that in all the invasioas
heretofore the Spanish have un.
successfully attempted to pre-
vent them with the numbers in
their favor of at least four TO
one.
While there has been some
doubts, perhaps justified, about
the military organization of the
rebel armies, these do not exist
any longer, as they are perfectly
organized with commanders of
every rank, at this time, and all
of their operations are being
conducted as Systematically as
those of the Spanish. Their one
appeal to the world is not for
sympathy, but for ammunition"

the circuit court in action for
civil damages brought by Col.

The complainant asks $40, 900, a
surprisingly small sum to what
was thought would be demanded.
The complainant received a
pistol ball in his left arm and has
lost the ust9f the member. The
attack had been provoked by a
letter in a morning paper over
Beasley's signature charging the
justice with being party to a
political decision.
