issued the following edict, officially de-
scrbed as expressing the magnanimous
sentiments of the Queen Regent and the
firm determination of the national govern
ment:
Il pardon in full all those who have been
prosecuted for the crime of rebellion. Rebels
prosecuted for common crimes, Independent
of rebellion, such as spoiiation, immortality
and the like. will be pardoned as rebels. but
judged for other offenses committed by
them. Those suffering sentences imposed
prior to this edict will have their sentences
commuted to a certain extent and perhaps
in some cases in full. Persons pardoned
should appear before the civil and military
authorities at their respective places of resi-
dence, which they will designate, and which
will be communicated to me. Should they
designate places of residences outside the
principal towns they will be advised of the
necessity of residing within the military
zone of cultivation The military author
tiles will be careful not to invade the jur-
lsdiction of the civil authorities. Therefore.
those pardoned cannot change their resi-
dence without obtaining the permission of
both civil and military authorities"

The Release of Young auesada

NEW YORK, Nov. S--Dr. G. J. De Quesa-
da when informed tonight of the action of
General Blanco, was almost overcome with
joy. He said Julio Ortoga Quesada was the
young mans name and that he was twenty
one years of age. Tile is a manly young
fellow said DR.. De Quesada, "and two
years ago he was a member of the Sopho-
more class of the College of the City of
New York. When hostiiities broke out he
insisted on joining the Cuban forces. Julio
was swimming in small stream when he
became detached from his companions and
fell into the hands of the Spanish. He
was taken to the San Ambrosia Military
Hospital as a prisoner and later sentenced
to be shot. The boys mother left no stone
unturned to save her boy, but she met with
little encouragement from General Weyler.
Years ago, when Captain General Blanco
was Governor of Cuba, he formed a warm
friendship for Julio's father, then a pro-
fessor in the medical university in Havana.
When Blanco superseded Weyler Mrs. Que
soda took up the cause of the young man
and she seems to have been successful"
Young Quesadas father died three years
ago in Mexico.

by Degrees.
Julius Runge, president of the First
National bank Of Galveston, returned
home from New York on the 10Th in
stant, and gave out an interview
which, considering the fact that he was
for long time president of the Cotton
Exchange, and is noted statistician, is
interesting:
"The active speculation in bonds,
stocks and wheat" said he, "has rath-
er been to the detrimeHt of cotton,
which has been" neglected 80 far, but
much higher prices are expected later
on, partly in consequence of the very
moderate supply of cotton now on
hand, and from the further fact that
the large American crop is needed for
the present enormous consumption.
"In connection with cotton it is
hoped that the cotton planters will
pursue the same policy 80 successfully
carried out by the grain growers. OPP
orators in grains were 60 days ago
selling wheat short in anticipation of
rush of wheat from the farms as a
result of the remarkably big crops,
but much to the surprise of the short
sellers and dealers, the farmers syste-
matically marketed their crops slowly,
which, coupled with the enormou
foreign demand, led to the advance of
from 25 cents to 80 cents bushel since
the beginning of July.
"If the cotton planters will follow
the example of the grain growers and
market their cotton moderately during
the next six weeks, I think the advance
in cotton will be fully as much as the
advance in wheat. The visible and
invisible supply of cotton at the pres
ent time is the smallest ever known
The requirements of spinners for cotton
are more urgent than ever before.
sit is now considered that the world
will require a crop of about $500, 900
bales, which, from present indications,
can be realized at profitable prices to
the southern planter if discretion is
used in marketing the crop slowly"

UNCLE SANS LAND POSSESSIONS
The area of the United States is 81
O25,6O square miles; with Alaska it
is 3,6O2,99O square miles, equal to the
area of all Europe, with Italy and
Turkey excepted. Texas, its largest
state, is 212 times the size of Rhode
Island. Texas might invite every
man, woman and child now living in
the world to settle within its territory
offering each individual plot of
ground 494 by 100 feet. The state
would not be really crowded, for each
individual would have four times the
space taken by each person in New
York city. England, Ireland, Scot
land, Wales, Italy and Portugal could
be transplanted to. Texas there would
still be room for a good sized prone
made where curious Americans could
walk while studying this bit of Europe.
Three of the cattle ranches of Texas
cover as much territory as the Sand
wich Islands, which we were to annex
four years ago.

IT'S Claimed McLaurin Will Go In on the
First Ballot.
As the time for the senatorial prima-
~ election draws nearer, things ap-
pear to be getting livelier at McLaurin
headquarters at the Grand Central.
Yesterday quite number of Senator
McLaurin's friends were there talking
over the situation.
When Colonel Neal was seen and ask
ed about the outlook for Senator Nc
Laurin's election in the light of ad-
vices received, he said: "Good; we
have number of letters-50 or more
daily from all portions of the state
with encouraging news"
"Do you expect him to be elected on
the first ballot ?"
II most assuredly do"
"By what majority ?" was asked.
"By 10000 votes," was Colonel
Meals reply.
"What, about the opposition's claim
that McLaurin will not be in the Sec
ond race ?"
Colonel Neal laughlngly remarked,
"No; he will not be in the second
race"
When his attention was called to
the claim that McLaurin will be third
in the race, Colonel Neal remarked :
"No man makes such claim as that
who has spoonful of political sense.
Tho hast nnStpd noliticians with whom
I have talked and from whom l have
received letters from all sections of
South Carolina, fully agree that Nc
Laurin will be elected on the first bal
lot, and many claim much larger ma
iorities than I do. In politics as we'll

been very careful to give the odds to

CHAPTER XII.
A DARING ACT.

CAPTAIN Daroman wheeled like a
fash, an ugly expression on bis face.
"You mutinous dog" he shouted,
beginning already, are you? I'll make
an example Of you for the benefit of the
Others" He turned toward the soldiers,
apparently on the point of giving some
orders, while Platoff s face flushed GRIM
son and his hands quivered nervously.
However, Captain Daroman suddenly
changed his mind, and he turned once
more to Platoff, with grim smile how
ering on his lips.
$50 you wish to know why you are
here, do you? So this place is not good
enough for you? You'll find out before
you get through, let me tell you.
What's your name? l can readily guess
though. You are Platoff, the revolution
ist. Stand to one side there and let your
two friends come forward too. Birds of
feather must flock together.
Maurice and Phil timidly advanced a
few PAGES from the throps, and the
commandant surveyed them with low
ering aspect.
"What are your names?" he asked
fiercely.
Maurice hesitated. To proclaim him
self under the false title by which he
had been arrested would be tacit ac-
acknowledgement of the name, while to
tell the truth would undoubtedly cause
serious trouble and excite Captain Oar
oman's wrath to its fullest extent.
At this critical moment Platoff came
to the rescue.
"Their names are Cunningham and
Burton" he said respectfully. "They
are but little acquainted with the Rus
sian tongue"
Maurice attempted to utter feeble
protest, but glance from Platoff ST.
fenced him. The commandant scanned
the paper he held in his hand.
"Platoff, Cunningham, Burton" he
muttered under his breath. Then, look
ing up keenly, he said: And so you
think it is strange that you were not
taken to the political prisont Have you

FAIRFIELD WHITEGAPS.
The Whole County Stirred Up Over the
Mormor> Trouble.

The Whole County Stirred UP Over the
Mormon Trouble.
As was supposed would be the case;
the prosecutions Of the Mormon con-
verts in the vicinity of Centreville,
has reached a climax, says Ridgeway
special to the Columbia State.
For sometime past rumors, more OF
less vague, have come from this neigh
borhood concerning the riotous conduct
of band of whitecaps, who have or
ganized for the purpose of driving the
Mormon elders from the country.
The press dispar ches have already
familiarized the public with the facts
concerning the raid which was made
last Tuesday on the homes of David
Branham, Lewis Sharpe and a number
of others. =.
AS a result, David Branham, on Sat
urday last, swore out warrant In
dieting Chas. Dinkins, John Moore,
Geo. Moore, Cliff Wilson, Elton Will
son, Jas. Harral, Fenton Kelley, John
Hinson, Will Kelly, Talley Peak and
Fletcher Hays for violently and in a
ruffianly manner entering his home
searching his premises and otherwise
conducting themselves in a manner
not in accord with the peace and dig
nifty of the state.
The court was called at 11.3O this
morning. at which time the prisoners
with the exception of two, made their
appearance and heard the indictment
read.
R. w. Sutton appeared for the de-
PENDANTS and stated that inasmuch as
the defendants were not prepared tc
stand trial, and as the magistrate had
not the power to force a preliminary
upon them, he would demand a post
ponement of the case. The court
took the ground that since Mr.. Sutton
is not licensed attorney, and as the
defendants had the right to secure le'
gal advice, be would be incapable o.
rendering the necessary assistance, and
therefore granted the postponement
after placing the prisoners under S2O(
bond.
Messrs. W. B. Hogan, NJ. L. Cooper
and S. C. Moore went on the bond.
This day week, Monday, Aug. 30, al
IL M, is the time set for the hearing.
As would be expected, excitement
runs high, and there is considerable
speculation as to the outcome of the

Six Miles of Crocodiles.

A reward was once offered in one ol
the Indian states Of rupee for each
foot OF crocodile killed. If II foot
crocodile was killed, the killer got IL
rupees. Some 80, 900 rupees were paid
for crocodiles while the offer of the re-
warG held good, say nearly six miles OF
crocodiles. Then it was found that croc-
codiles were being imported from vari'
ous adjacent states, and reward paying
was stopped.

away, and the crowd pressed forward,
dragging Maurice and his companions
with them.
