- The Hong Kong correspondent of
London Daily Mail, cables under
date of Monday as follows: "United
States Consul o. F. Williams, who ar
rived here from Manila on board the
auxiliary gunboat Zafro (formerly a
British merchant steamer), tells me he
does not think Admiral Montojo will
be courtmartialed, and adds that he
does not think the admiral should be,
for he fought bravely. Mr.. Williams
says also that Aguinaldo, the insur-
gent leader, has his men at Cavite in a
good state of discipline. They are
provided with plenty of rifles and am
munition and are expected to do good
service for the Americans in attacking
Manila, The American troops from
San Francisco are expected to arrive
there in June. The Spaniards are try
ing to wean the Philippine rebels from
their allegiance to the Americans. Cap
tain General August sent two priests
to Aguinaldo, promising all kinds of
reforms, including autonomy for the
islands; but the insurgeDt chief de-
clined to negotiate with them, re-
minding them that the same promises
had been made before Aguinaldo made
prisoners of two native deputations
from the Manila government. The
Spanish are appointing natives govern.

LATEST FROM MANILA.
Dewey Is Still Waiting For Supplies and
Re-Enforcements.

Dewey Is Still Waiting For Supplies and
Re-Enforcements.
A Hong Kong dispatch of May 80,
says the British second.class cruiser
Piuue, has arrived there from Iloilo
and Manila. She reports all quiet at
both places.
The Spanish garrison at Iloilo num-
Der 100 men and the place has no de-
f.nses. The foreigners there are safe.
Supplies are reaching Manila plenti-
fully from the surrounding country.
There is no panic at Manila. The
Spaniards are working upon the forti-
fications, but their guns are old and
useless and they are short of ammu-
ntion.
Rear Admiral Dewey has informed
the authorities at Manila that he will
hold them responsible for the life of
the captain of the Spanish gunboat
CalIao, captured by the United States
fleet. The Spaniards have been threat
euing to shoot him for surrendering,
although confronted by the whole
American fleet.
All the American ships are at Cavite,
in Manila bay. Salt provisions are
plentiful, but fresh provisions are not
obtainable.
In reply to the Spanish overtures to
win over Aquinaldo, the insurgents
are said to have informed the Span
iards that they are neutral and will
await events.
The Spanish gunboat Ell Cano, which
captured the American bark Saranac,
loaded with coal and owned by VIM.
Simpson, Jr., of New York, has left
Iloilo and gone to the Samoangang
river.
1t is said the Spaniards released the
Saranac owing to the fact that she
hoisted the British flag prior to her
capture.
The Americans have captured the
Spanish gunboat Leytie, which was at
tempting to run dispatches into Iloilo.
A steamer is reported to have land
ed 5000 rifles at Cavite for the use of
the insurgents.
The Spaniards have offered $25 200
for the head of Aquinaldo, the insur-
gent leader.
The governor of Hong Kong has
prohibited the United States auxiliary
gunboat Zafiro from taking war stores
to the American fleet, but he has per-
mitted her to ship "officers' luxuries." ;"
The Zafiro sails from here to Manila
today.
The American warships are still in
the bay, except couple of smaller
ones, which are being used on patrol
duty outside. Rear Admiral Dewey is
losing men from disease almost daily
Smallpox and dysentery are said to be
rife in the American squadron.
Aquinaldo, the insurgent chief:
reached Cavite from the interior, and
soon after his arrival went on board
one of the warships. He is working
hard to gain over the rebels to the side

UP-TO-DATE
STYLES,

In the opening of the season
the ladies of York county seemed
to organize a regular lombard
ing expedition against my stylish
millinery, and after making as,
sault after assuault on my latest
styles of headwear, still stand
on the ramparts of dame fashion
waving the latest and most pop
ular colors.
My Hats are all new and stylish and
up-to- date. There hasn't been lady i'll
our fort since the season commenced
who has as much as at least intimated that
they were too high priced. They have
all admitted their beauty and style, and
what more could they ask Nothing, alb
solutely nothing. Nor they haven't ask
ed anything more but the ladies have
bought them and they are now in almost
every home and worn by almost every
lady. However there are some who have
not been supplied, and I will say to them
that they can be supplied from our fort
ress, and they are invited to call and in
spect our headwear.
I can offer you Hats at '25 cents and sc
cents on the dollar; but they are OFF
STYLES and OLD HATS. l can trim
you up Hats at so cents, rs cents and 81 .OO
to LOOK STYLISH. OF course they
are not fine; but as good as you can get
or expect for that money.
In conclusion, allow me to thank my
customers and numerous friends for their
exceptionally liberal patronage bestowed
on inc this season, and I assure them
every day in the future, as it has been in
the past, that no efforts will be spared to
please them either in goods or prices.

UNION MEETING.

Synopsis of What the Baptist Brethren
Have Been Doing In Yorkville.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
YoRKvILLE, May 30.-The churches
composing the York Baptist association
held their union meeting with the York
vile Baptist church May 27-29. Mes
sengers representing nearly all OF the
l3 churches which compose the asso-
citation were in attendance.
Friday mornings session was given up
to the enrolment of delegates, perma-
nent organization of the union (Which
takes the place of the Sunday school con-
vention of former years. and reports in
reference to the work and condition of the
churches composing the body. Messrs.
w. J. Waters and II. G. Matthews were
reelected moderator and clerk. Mr.. w.
II. Edwards, of Rock Hill, was made
vice moderator.
At the evening session Rev. John d.
Robertson, of Rock Hill, preached a
beautiful and impressive sermon, to a
large audience, on the amounting or
Jesus by Mary Of Bethany, in which
he made strong plea for the beautiful
and devotional in life as opposed to the
purely secular and material.
The sermon was followed by an ad-
dress by T. NJ. Bailey, D. D., of Green
Vile, state mission secretary, on the union
meeting and its work. In addition to
being a man of wide experience and ripe
scholarship, DR.. Bailey, an Irishman, IS
possessed of a rich wien of humor which
always enables him to entertain and in
struct any audience which he may ad-
dress. This occasion was no exception.
The sessions of Saturday morning and
afternoon, were given up to the discus
sion of of practical questions pertaining
to church life and work. Interesting
speeches were made by Representative
H. f. johnson, DR.. Bailey, Rev. Thos.
Dixon, w. H. Edwards, Rev. B. j.
Woodward and others. The subject which
elected the most lively discussion was in
reference to the proper attitude of Chris
tian voters to the present prohlDltlon
movement. Most of those who spoke
took the ground that duty and eXpediency
demand that professed Christians shall
give their moral and political support in
favor of total prohibition.
On Saturday evening Rev. B. j. Wood
ward preached strong and timely SER
mon on regeneration, its nature and ne
cessity. The speaker attributed many Of
the evils of present-day Christianity to
the lack of this all-important change Of
heart in the case Of manual Christians.
On Sunday morning Sunday school
mass meeting was held at which Rev.
John d. Robertson and DR.. II. NJ. Bailey
delivered addresses. At IL o'clock DR..
Bailey preached an able sermon to a large
audience and took public collection for
state mission work. Sunday evening
Rev. John D. Robertson occupied the
pulpit.
The sessions were all very well attend
ed and on the whole the meeting was a
success.
The next meeting will be held with the
Flint Hill church beginning Friday be-
fore the fifth Sabbath in July. E.s. II.

Telegraphic Summary of the Lat

Hurrying to Tampa.

Hurrying to Tampa.
CHICKAMAUGA, GA, May 3l.-The
Sixty. Ninth New York and eight 9TH
er regiments we're today ordered to 60
to Tampa Immediately. The move
ment is construed to mean that there
is under contemplation simultaneous
attack on Santiago and Porto Rico.
Want Schley to Wait.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-The war
board has today had under discussion
the advisability Of having Schley to
postpone his attack upon Cervera un-
til after the landing of troops near
Santiago. Schley is at liberty to do
whatever he considers best under the
circumstances, and it is hardly proba-
BILE that he will wait.
General ben Hur."
Indiana congressman are trying to
induce President Mckinley to appoint
General Lew Wallace to be major
general.
This Is Sensible.
After the meeting of the cabinet to-
day members stated that the president
has at last finally decided to postpone
the proposed attack on Havana until
next fall. This decision was arrived
at for the reason that the city is re-
garded as Il pesthole where disease
will kill more Americans than are
likely to be harmed by Spanish bull
lets. There may possibly arise
contingencies which will make it nec-
essary to occupy the city sooner; but
this is not now thought to be probable.
1t is stated that Sampson will proceed
at once to Porto Rico, accompanied by
the troops, and under this arrangement
both fleets and all forces will be easily
available for operations either in Porto
Rico or on the eastern end of Cuba.
A Safe Landing.
KEY WEST, May 31.-The steam
ship Florida has successfully landed
500 Cubans with arms and ammunition
on the coast of Cuba. This force is
now with General Garcia.
News reaches here today that the
vice president of the Cuban republic
has been captured by the Spaniards.
Don't Want to Fight.
PARIS, May 31.-In announcing the
new tariff agreement to the cabinet
today M. Hanotaux, minister of for
eign affairs, said that the most cordial
relations existed between France and
the United States.

HOW 1T WAS
AT ONE time.
Ringing a Bell to Settle a
Swarm of Bees.

At one time in South Carolina
it was an existing fact that the
governor and all his associates
in office were nominated for the
various positions Of trust, by a
few hand-clapping buns, who
were supposed to be representing
a popular outburst of enthusi-
as1n from the galleries, where
the general public were sitting.
Its real intention was to fool the
people, and it did it.
Have you ever seen anyone
serenade a swarm a bees by beat
ing on a tin pan? This they
claim detracts their attention and
purpose from one thing to anoth-
er and hastens them to settle.
Just so it is with many mer-
chants in various sections of the
country. They try to attract
your purpose from one thing to
another and often so adroitly sue
ceed as to cost the people hun
dreds of dollars.
1t takes no tin-pan-beating to
attract the attention of the ladies
of York county to out White
Goods counter. Their judge
ment and our goods and prices
are the controlling factors.
1t takes no tin pan beating to
attract the ladies to our Low
Cut Shoes and Hosiery counters.
1t requires no tin pan beating
to attract the men of York to
my Shirt and Underwear coun-
ter where the greatest value and
latest styles can be had. Collars
and Cuffs, and neckwear in end
less variety.
1t requires no tin pan beating
to attract attention from other
fashion patterns to the Mccall
Patterns. A wise and discrimi-
mating public has set its seal of
approval on the MCCALL. All
patterns at 10 and IS cents.
None higher.
1t takes no tin pan beating to
attract the ladies to our Corset
Department. They know we
have what they want, and they
know others haven't.
You should examine Our Sum-
mer Coats and Suits. The price
is right. H. c. STRAUSS. :

Runaway Accidents.
Two runaway accidents, one of which
came near being quite serious, occurred
at the head of Congress street between
the residences of Mr.. W. B. Moore and
Rev. B. H. Grier, last Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Hugh Moore, who lives south OF
Yorkville about 5 miles, was driving
mule to buggy and was going towards
lhe outskirts of town. A young man from
the country, accompanied by two young
ladies, in another buggy was coming into
town. At about the same time, from
some unexplainable cause, both mules
ran away. Mr.. Moore's buggy was dash
ed against hydrant and broken. He
was thrown out on his head and should
ers and knocked insensible. The other
buggy was turned over and the occupants
thrown out but the young man was able
to hold on to the lines and no serious
damage was done. Mr.. Moore recovered
sufficiently during the afternoon to ad-
nit of his being taken home.
