CAROLiNA's NEW GOVERNOR.
EIIerbe Innugurated-fiis Address
Most Conservative.

COLUMBIA, 5. c.. January lS-At noon
to-day, in the hall OF the House OF Rep
resentatives and in the presence of a vast
audience, composed of all classes Of peo-
pie. William IL. Ellerbe, the new Cover
nor of South Carolina, was inaugurated
the oath being administered by the Chief
Justice Of the State Supreme Court. Sub
sequently the Lieutenant nt-GovernOr, Miles
b. McSweeney, was also inaugurated.
In the audience were the young ladies
Of the female colleges. Participating in
the inaugural procession were the justices
OF the State Supreme Court, wearing their
judicial robes; the circuit judges, the
faculty and students Of South Carolina
College, the State officers. and other no.
tables. The historic mace and sword OF
State were borne in the procession.
Governor Ellebe's inaugural was a
most conservative one. Having been
elected By the votes OF both factions, he
pledges his word to be Governor of the
whole people, knowing no faction. He
came out with an earnest plea for the
moral support of the people in the en-
forcement of the dispensary law, and said
he believed ii the best system OF con-
trolling the liquor traffic He also made
an earnest plea for higher education by
the State.
The address struck a popular chord,
and the Governor was generously ap-
plauded.
Tonight the new Governor was rendered
a reception, which was largely attended
by the retiring Chief Executive. at the
Governors Mansion

SPANISH GuNBOAT SUNK.
A Cuban Torpedo sends Her To the
Bottom.

HABANA, January .lS-Though the in
surgents have no navy. they do not hest-
tate when the opportunity offers to at
tack the Spanish warships. The latest
instance of this kind occurred yesterday
morning, when a Spanish gunboat was
sunk by means OF a torpedo. and many
Of her crew killed. A detachment OF
rebels had made an attack upon the
forts at Guamo. some distance up the
Cauto river. province of Santiago de
Cuba, and the Spanish troops, fearing
that they would not be able TO hold out,
asked for assistance for Manzanillo, on
the coast. on Saturday night, the gun
boats Centinela and Relampago left
Manzanilo. under orders TO ascend the
river and protect the forts. All went
well until the gunboats were opposite
a place called Mango. when the Relam-
pago struck o. torpedo Instantly there
was a terrific explosion. The hull of the
Relampago was torn open, and the ves-
sci went down. Those on board the ship
who were uninjured jumped into the
river and swan for Centinella. The Cen
tinella's boats picked up the survivors,
under a heavy fire from the rebels. The
Centinella then returned to ManZanillo.
The commander of the Centinella was
seriously wounded.
The official report of the aft1ir states
that the commander. second engineer,
and three sailors of the Relampago were
killed. and her boatswan, quartermas-
ter, chief engineer, pilot, and four sailors
wounded.
The boatswain Of the Centinella was
killed. and her pilot, second engineer,
gunner and six sailors were wounded.
Both gunboats were small vessels, in
tended principally for river-service, and
they did not carry large crews.

of the Statute, Therefore, Possik

JACKSONVILLE. FLA. january 49,
The Cuban insurgents won n decided
victory In the United States Court this
morning. as Judge Locke rendered
decision in their favor In the case OF
the United States VS.. the steam.
er Three Friends. for violation O,
the neutrality laws. The libel sf.
iirmed that the Three Friend
was then and there furnished. atte<
out. and armed with one certain gun o,

with munitions Of war, with intent ther
and there TO be employed In the servic,
OF certain insurgents or persons IN tho
Island OF Cuba, and with the intent Il
cruise or commit hostilities against tn,
subjects. citizens or property OF the
King of Spain on the Island OF Cuba. -
To this the exception OF respondents
was that the said libel does not show
that the said vessel was so armed O,
fitted out, or so furnished with the in.
tent that such vessel should be EN-.
pioyed in the service Of any body polite.
recognized or known to the United states
as a body polite"
The answer OF the libellant. the United
States Government. to this excep.
tion, was that the law. as set forth in
section 528 of the Revised Statutes, did
not require that vessel that was SUBJ
ject to condemnation for violation OF
the section should be employed By any
body recognized by or known TO the
United States as a body polite. Tho
point made by the respondent was thar
the statute contemplated condition OF
war already existing and nat when no
war existed there could be no violation
of the statute. The question was then
suggested as to how the state OF war
was TO be determined. and IL was argued
on behalf of the respondents that is
could come only by action OF Congress.
IL was far beyond the power OF tho
judiciary TO determine the fact In other
words, the insurgents must be recognized
as belligerents before the statute could
be violated.
The Court sustained the exception OF
the respondents, and gave the libellants
ten days to file an amended libel. If a
new libel Is not filed within that time,
the Sl000 bond is to ba cancelled and tho
vessel released

murder. and on whom the death sentence
had been passed

his conviction and sentence TO death for
the murder Of James Irwin, George Mat

with circumstantial evidence from other
quarters. might bring the death sentence

or even TO be sworn in the case After
Matthews had refused TO testify. the
State closed its case. The defence did not
