NEWBERRY. S. c., TU CSDAY, MAY 10, 1893
WE WILL POUR TROOPS INTO ISLAND
OF CUBA.
From 60 600 to 50 900 Mon WIN DO Landed
There With no Unnecessary Delay.

Washington, May S.-Tbo Wash
ington Post tomorrow vii! say:
Between 10000 and $4,000 mon
will be landed on Cuban soil at once.
They will wear the uniform Of the
United States and they will not re-
turn until they have defeated the
Spanish forces on tho island and the
American flag floats as proudly over
Ilabana rs it docs over the ruins Of
the Cavate fortress in Manila har-
Dor.
This is tho idea of the military
advisors Of the administration, aud
tho President has approved tho plans.
The first rction Of tho army to in
vade Cuba will be tho $4,000 or 49,
UOO troops now assembled at Now
Orleans and Tampa. They aro all
regulars and'mOst of them arc men
who have seen lighting on the plains.
They arc seasoned, disciplined effcc-
two. They will be followed at once
by another army OF $4,000 vol
unteers, who will be concentrated at
Southern ports us quickly as the
trains can carry them, and will be
transported as fast as tho necessary
ships can bo collected. It is esti.
mated that it will take at least 300
vessels to move this immense army
to Cuba. Nearly everything that
floats has already bcen secured by
the government, and last night the
wires were hot in all directions di-
recting contracts to be closed imme-
diateiy in the principal seaport towns
Other details Of the great cxpedi-
ton have been arranged. Within 4S
hours there will be 1000 wagons at
Tampa and 10000 mules Several
hundred ambulunces will also be
hurried to Tampa. They may be
needed. Battles are not all like tho
ono which has just boen fought in
Manila harbor.

GOVERNOR EELERBE
TALKS OF HIS COURSE
WHY HE WANTED THE TROOPS MOB.
ILJZED IN COLUMBIA.
The Issue aHto tho Smallpox DIR Evans
OF the State Board and ehe Commander
tn;Chief Discussed This Matter
....... "A Report. ........
1.-THE State, 9TH. !

In view of the criticism from some
quarters made upon his action in in
sisting that tho States troops bo
brought to Columbia instead of
Charleston and that be hurried them
here before elaborate preparations
were made for their reception Gov.
Ellerbe yesterday afternoon had
something to say.
He said he regretted the necessity
for making any statement about tho
matter. He said when tho question
of bringing the troops to point Of
rendezvous first came up, he felt
that Columbia was the best place ii
tho State to bring them for many
reasons. He was fully aware that
there was smallpox here and was
also aware that vaccination was one
of the first things an enlisted man
had to submit to. About this time,
however, Dr. James Evans of the
State board Of health came to Col
umbia. and in talking of the small
pox situation, informed him that
DR.. Horlbeck had reported to hin,
the existence Of small pox in Char
lesion: DR.. Evans had also said
that it was scattered over not only
this State, but good portion of tho
south. Such being the case, Gov.
Ellerbe went on to say that he could
see no moro danger in Columbia
than in Charleston, and resolved to
bring the men to the most accessible
and convenient point where he could
be in touch with the camp.
In this connection it may be men
toned that many of tho men have
come from points where sm all-pox
existed according to official reports
before it came here.
In speaking of his action IN bring
ing the troops here before all camp
arrangements had been concluded,
Gov. Ellerbe said that this was due
to the fact that tho captains had
collected their recruits, who were at
different points at thor own expense,
and there were fears of disintegration
unless prompt orders to move were
given. In consequence of this ho
lost no time in ordering the men to
the point Of mobilization. The idea
conveyed by the governor was that
tho men who had responded had not
taken tho field expecting a carefully
prearranged pleasure camp.
In this connection tho chairman of
the Columbia board of health states
that DR.. Evans gave him tho same
information as to Charleston that he
furnished the governor.
There are now 1873 cases Of small
pox at the Riverside hospital, and
IL patients were discharged yester-
day. .....

part Of the timo % tho considora
tion of tt Nowberry hotel case. Mr.
"Hub" Evans, as attorney for Mr.
Bardin, the proprietor Of tho hotel,

Bardin himself. Assistant Attor.
ney General Townsend appeared for
tho State. The representatives of
tho newspapers wore excluded, but
the proceedings were simply in the
nature Of taking evidence, and that

This i'm effect is a declaration of
the Innocence Of Mr.. Bardin and

Miles' Personal Representative Lands In
Cuba, Near Havana, and Prepares for
Invasion.

Tampa, Fla, May 7.-After ac-
complishing the most difficult and
hazardous mission of tho Spanish
American war up to date, Captain
j. H. Dorst, the confidential repre-
sentative Of General Miles, reached
Tampa at l o'clock and reported to
General Shafter
Captain Dorst having conferred
with the insurgents, brought infor-
nation Of tho most important char
actor, and the time of tho invasion
of Cuba by tho United States army
will probably be determined by his
reports. Captain Dorst, accompanied
by only three Cubans, in small
tug, landed on Cuban soil within
fifteen miles Of Havana, hold n con-
ference with the Cuban insurgents,
and after obtaining such information
as he desired returned to Key Vest
| had q personal interview with
Captain Dorst Immediately upon his
arrival at Port ampa at noon.
While not inclined to talk before
seeing General Shuftcr, he said:
81 found that tho Cuban coast for
many miles on either side of Havana
in full view Of tho Spaniards and
spent abut Is minutes on Cuban soil
conferring with Cuban officer
named Dolargo."
1t was daring iE tho extreme.
Whether Captain Dorst will 20 on
to Washington Or will remain here
cannot be told until after his con
ference with General Shaftor. The
arrival of Captain D1rst has created
tho impression hero that the move.
ment upon Cuba will certainly be
made worry soon. Many think next
Tuesday has been selected for the
invasion, and it is generally believed
that the movement will certainly be
made before the end OF next week.
That mach depends upon III,
character o. Captain Dorst's repor
to General Shafter is certain. Th,
two arc now in conference.
!; The 200 Spanish Prisoners of wa
have been sent from Key West t
Atlanta by way Of Miami. The,
will probably reach Fort McPhcrso
tomorrow. Tho Fifth Regimen
breaks camp today. Colonel Coo
and his staff will return to Atlant
probably on Monday.

EXAMINATIONS PLAY HAVOC
NOT A COMPANY LEFT WITH IT'S FULL
QUOTA.
n Sound Mind In u Sound BODY Is Brler
Epltomo OF tho Qualifications Required
]Register, April 7th.

1t is not every man that Gun enter
the army o. Uncle Sam. Patriotism,
Willingness and even strong desire to
serve the country are not the only
requisites necessary to welcome SOL
dier.
A sound mind in sound body is
brief epitome Of the qualifications re-
quired. And tho way in which the
medical board is turning down ap-
pllcants fairly astonish tho natives Of
South Carolina.
TIE boys thought that all thoy had
to d. was to como here and tell the
folks that they wanted to fight, and
sooner than it takes to tell it, thoy
would bo hustled off to Cuba, there
to slay Spaniards, seize treasures and
gain fame. All these visions fade,
however, when the recruits go before
Drs. Lewis, Mood and Lawson.
A candidate for martial honors is
ushered into the examing room where
he finds three able bodied, serious
looking doctors II their shirt sleeves
and the perspiration pouring from
them. The embryo general hands
his slip to the clerk. DR.. Lawson
catches him by the arm marches him
to the scales and ascertains his
weight. If tho beam balances at the
correct figure, the applicant is then
turned over to DR.. Lewis, who man
ages the oye test. The thoroughly
embarrassed volunteer is then passed
to DIR. Mood who thumps on the bare
skin of tho unfortunate, punches him
in different parts Of the body and
then gives him rest. Tho three
doctors then put their heads together
and as Il result Of their cogitations,
the pathway to fame is either laid
open or irrevocably closed to tho
ambitious disciple Of Mus.
The examination is no child's play,
as will be shown ny tho fact that
nearly thirty per cent. of the appli.
cants are turned down, and of the
five companies examined, not one has
retained sufficient mon to be mus.
tered into service.
In order to give some idea Of the
rigid manner in which the examina-
tions are carried on, the results thus
far are given:
Tho Abbeville Volunteers arrived
in camp with 98 mon. The doctors
accepted u and rejected rs.
The Richland Volunteers presented
81 men for examination. Of this
amount So we're received and 80
were rejected
The Lee County Rifles presented
80 men. or this number SO were
accepted and &c rejected.
The Catawba Rines presented 90
men. Seventy one were accepted
and rs wore rejected.
The Newberry Rifles presented 90
men. OF this number 53 were ac.
copted and 43 rejected.
The Butler Guards Of Greonville
were being examined when The days
business ended. Twenty five mon
had been presented and nino were
rejected.
Tho prevailing cause is defective
eye sight. A total of 450 mon have
been examined, and Of the number
3O1 have been accepted and I59 re-
jected. So much for aspiring
genius.
