of the Red Cross party which sailed
from here on January %. aud also eoo-
taios the following:
The following cablegram sent by
Minister Terrell yesterday afternooa to

affairs. which was in every way as
agreeable, cordial and satisfactory as it
could have been made in any couory.
Not only is tie fullest permission given
for our entrance into Armenia, but an
active and generous effort was displayed
toward making our endeavors, our
journeys, etc safe, pleasant and as
easy as possible, and also as productive
of beneficial results as could be wished.
Mr. Terrell vas very much gratifed
and seems very happy over our success
to which the state department and be
contributed so largely.
LAS soon as an outfit can be made,
and passage scared, our men will start
for the desolated regions. It will be
cold and terribly hard for them; bat
that is what they came for. I have ~ ct

other American gentlemen here. It Is
hoped that the massacres are over, but

Who was Lincoln's Father ?

In the course of communication
to the Lexigton Dispatch entitled,
The Handwriting of God in the
Government of Man. by MIR. D. J.
Knotts, the following story is told:
Whatever we may think of Abra.
ham Lincoln the world gives place
among the great heroes Of the past.
To me there is something instructive
in the life of this man. In his life
and labors there is to me a lesson Of
warning. His birth, life, elevation
and success indicate to me very
strongly that he was great man on
a great occasion. Whatever histo.
rians may have written about the
birth and lineage Of Abraham Lin
coin history will some day state
facts as they are. When written.
this history will say that he was the
son Of John c. Calhoun, and that in
lineage and blood he was a South
Carolinian, but not by birth.
4 young lady whose name was
Nancy Hanks, who was born and
raised a few miles from Mr.. Cal.
houn's home was his mother. She
was lady of fine physical outline
and for whose worth and qualities
Mr.. Calhoun is said to have had
great respect and admiration. He
was then comparatively q young man
and the feeling between them was
said to be strong-but Mr.. Calhoun
was already a married man. She
moved West under guidance Of
man of intelligence and worth Sc
lected by Mr.. Calhoun. Poor Nancy
Hanks thus leaves her native land
and makes her home among
strangers, with strong convictions
uppermost in her troubled mind.
Soon afterwards she married a poor
man in her Western home, whose
name was Lincoln He who gave
the name of this offspring was not
his father.
"She thus left her home and kim
dred and thus became the mother of
the great President of the United
States. Her kindred are still in An
derson County, and one of her
brothers is still alive and commands
the respect of his countrymen for his
sterling virtues, and is a man of very
much of Abraham Lincoln's com
manding appearance For little Abe

Jordan was hard road to travel. But
these trials and difficulties only de-
veloped his faculties and energy for

serious matter, but the past has re-
vealed the fact that he was paving.

would result in laying the life work

"From notification in 1882 till

yankee Aggression. ,
Alleged Presentment of the
People of Spain.

Madrid, March 3.-The govern
ment has received number of
offers of pecuniary and other aid in
the event of war with the United
States. growing out of the attitude
of tae latter on the Cuban question.
The people appear to be determined
to uphold the government in it's in
tention to keep CuSa Spanish col
ony, no matter at what cost. The
cabinet is greatly encouraged by the
attitude of the continental press
which, generally speaking, expresses
much sympathy with Spain in her de.
termination to resent what is termed
Yankee aggression.
One important factor in the sup
port accorded the government which
is sedulously kept in the background
is that Cuban debentures and other
securities depending for their value
upon the income derived from Cuba
are held in q large amount by
foreign capitalists. With free
Cuba, these securities would be prac-
tically worthless and this accoants in
a very great measure for the attitude
of many of the foreign newspapers
which speak not SO muca because
they believe that the United States
have any Interior motive in recogniz-
ing the Cubans as belIigereats, as be-.
cause they are defending the finan-
cial interests of capitalists Of their
countries In Spain itself, however,
the sapport of the goveraaent is due
to pure patriotism.
Among the offers Of assistance the
government has received is one from
the Spanish Transatlantic company,
which has offered to place its entire
feet of steamships at the disposal Of
the government, making no condi-
tions whatever. The offer has been
accepted and eight of the steamers
will be armed with from 9 to IL cen.
-timetre guns. Compressed sawdust
will be used as protection for the
guns. If events shall necessitate
such action, these vessels will be
used as cruisers and privateers.
