Chicago June 25.-A special copyright

The latest estimate is that the Ameri-
can troops will storm the outer en-
trenchments east of Santiago tomorrow
and that they will be at the very gates
of that city Sunday.
The Cubans are to be given the post
of honor, if they can hold it. A juno
tion has been formed between Garcia
and Castillo and about 5000 Cubans are
now cooperating with the American
forces The need of horses is impera-
tive. There are not enough animals
to get the artillery along to say moth
ing of the wagon trains and supplies.
Light batteries of siege guns are now
moving on Santiago.
Miles Going to Cuba.
New York, June PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
General Miles has made all arrange
ments to leave Washington at once for
Tampa, to embark there as soon as
possible with General COppinger and
the Fourth army corps, of about $4,000
men for Santiago, that point being
definitely announced as the chief out
military and naval operations against
the enemy in the West Indies. General
Miles expressed the hope that General
Shafter will have succeeded in taking
possession of Santiago before he reach
eS there, but in case this achievement
is delayed the large army of reinforce
ment will undoubtedly be able to effect
a speedy termination of the siege, as
we'll as neutralize the heavy additional
forces constituting the flower of the
Spanish army in Cuba, consisting of
10000 men under PandO, known as their
fighting general, which is now reported
as fastening to the scene overland from
Holguin, seventy miles in an air line.
General Shafter has been directed by
cable to get all the supplies out 9f-his
transports as quickly as possible and
hasten them back to Tampa for General
Coppinger's troops, who are now ready
to embark, and Secretary Long sent
orders at the same time to Admiral
Sampson to furnish an effective con-
voy of warships for the expedition
1t is believed the big fleet can start on
it's return voyage not later than sun
day, and that they can reach Tampa as
early as Thursday morning, their empty
condition being conducive to much
higher speed than they made on the
outward voyage. With no troops 1t
will also be unnecessary to exercise
such strict precautions against the pos
sibility of desperate attacks by small
gunboats or torpedo cruisers and per-
haps the faster vessels will>not have to
wait for those of slower speed.
According to the present arrange
ments. when General Miles arrives at
Tampa Monday morning he will imme-

Flag of a thousand battles,
Beautiful flag of the free;
Waving from lake to ocean,

Float on, float on, thou emblem OF the tree.

Silencing tyranny dumb,

WHY DIDN'T THEY IRWIN THE CRIMINAL
COURT?

The criminal court of Halifax county
is in session this week. The presiding
Judge is Thomas A. Sutton, one, of the
bitterest Radicals in the State. The
sheriff is an old line Republican. The
county of Halifax is completely in the
control of the Fusionists. They have the
court. Why did they not try Capt.
Kitchen and the other gentlemen in their
own county upon the charges preferred
by the negro Steptoe?
The reason is that the Fusion mana
gers thought they had great case of
intimidation that if well advertised would
help them in the election, and they
wanted to have the men tried and con-
icted at the capital of the State so that
it would be known and read of all men.
The end of the investigation utterly
demoralized the conspirators and they
retired from court in a state of collapse.
They went after wool and returned
shorn.

A COMPAlGN FOR INDUSTRIAL EMANClPA-
TON.

The eyes of the whole country are
turned toward North Carolina.
The people of all sections are interested
in the outcome of the struggle now going
on here between the forces that stand
for White Supremacy and those that
seek to retain Negro Rule in North
Carolina.
It is not alone the political and social
world that is-deeply interested. 1t
is the business world as well. Abundant
testimony has been produced showing
that investors are afraid to put their
money in North Carolina so long as
it is controlled by the negroes and
their white allies.
One Of the most significant utterances
of the campaign is the editorial which
we copy to-day from the Manufacturers
Record. written by Mr.. Richard H. Ed
The Manufacturers Record is the fore
most industrial paper of the South. 1t
takes no part in politics, and is often
in antagonism to the dominant political
sentiment in the State. 1t stands al
ways and consistently for Southern de-
yelopment. 1t sees the development OF
North Carolina retarded by the pres
ent unsafe government Of the State, and
it applauds the white men who are
laying aside partisan considerations to
destroy the repellant forces that are in
juring the State in its industrial develop
ment.
This is "a campaign primarily for
clean and decent government by white
men. 1t is equally campaign for I'M
Stacking our industrial life, as the Man
ufacturer's Record sees.
