Great Indignation is expressed by
both the public and the press over the
landing of the Bermuda expedition
which has been announced in highly
sensational manner by the newspapers
here.
The Epoca, which is the ministerial
organ, discusses the question in far

Americas demand applies exclusively
to the form of trial and not to the
penalty. 1t believes the Spanish gov
eminent will decide that the matter
shall be submitted to the supreme mil
ftary and naval court.
The Epoca also says the attitude of
President Cleveland and Secretary Oh
ney appears to be incredible, and de-
clares the theory ascribed to Mr.. Olney
by the New York World deserves no
serious reply because the offense can
never be regarded as a question of
contraband. according to the principles
of International law.
The Correo says that the demands of
the United States are
UNJUST AND MENACING
because it is incontestable that filibus-
tering expeditions are organized in the
United States without difficulty and
that consequently such arbitrary con-
duct would be against the national SEN
timent of Spain.
According TO the Diario, the govern
ment cabled yesterday to Havana or
dering Weyler to send the case to the
supreme military and naval court.
Several papers publish the report
that besides General Weyler General
Ochando and Ahumada, who have i'm
portant commands in Cuba, have also
threatened to resign if the judgment of
the court martial quashed.

possible. The dueling party took
breakfast at the Franklin house, and
about 1890 in the forenoon proceeded
to the ferryboat, which was owned and
run by a man by the name of Chap
man. The boat was propelled by two
horses, which worked around a wind
lass at one end OF the boat deck, and

to drive these horses. Arriving on the
opposite shore, which was a wilder
ness of timber, a spot partly cleared
was selected as the battle ground.
Shields took a seat on a fallen log on
one side of the clearing. and Lincoln
seated himself On another at the oppo-
site side. The seconds then proceeded

COL. TAYLOR AT HENDERSON.
Expounds the True Democratic Faith to
Large Crowd.

.
HENDERSON, March q. Colonel
John M. Taylor, candidate for GRIM
inal court Judge, addressed a large
crowd at this place last Monday, and
no candidate was ever listened to
with more respectful attention.
Whether in the legislative hall
or on the stump Colonel Taylor is
a general whose sword is always un-
sheathed to defend the rights and
best interests of the masses. Tried
in public ,and private life he has
met the obligations bravely, hon
estly and with conscientiousness
that denotes the faithful servant,
the true citizen and the consistent
Christian.
No one can doubt the eminent
qualities that fit Colonel Taylor for
criminal Judge. That he is compe-
tent and efficient is amply demon
strated in his record as criminal
judge, which position he now holds
by appointment.
Colonel Taylor's speech was load
ed with the Observation-Disclosures
that have made the Democratic par
ty permanent and dear There is
no doubt but that Colonel Taylor'i
following in Chester and Hender
son counties was augmented by
his great speech Monday, Chester
