AccoMAc COURT HOUSE, VA,
SATURDAY, JUNE II, 1898
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomat
G. H, Va, as second class matter.

The President has asked for de-
tailed report of the gallant action
of of Lieutenant Richmond Pearson
Hobson, at Santiago, from Admiral
Sampson, and will, as soon as it is re-
ceived, send special message to
Congress recognizing the heroism
displayed by him and the men who
accompanied him on the Merrimac.
What honor will be recommended
for Lieut.. Hobson is not now known,
but Congress at present could not
go far wrong, if popular clamor is lis
tened to, in giving him almost any
thing he wants. a vote of thanks,
medals and promotion are certainly
in store for him, and a popular sub
scription would be started at once
if permitted, 10 release the home
stead of his parents OF a mortgage
there is upon it. For the present he
certainly holds 1.-The centre OF the
stage as war hero" and Lee and
Dewey, the idols of the hour short
time ago are no longer 'in it, A
deeper interest is felt IN him at this
time, doubtless, from the fact that he
is confined in MORO Castle, and it is
not known how he and his brave
followers Jared during the lombard
lnent of Santiago.

HELPING DEWEY.
A Series of Battles.

Special cablegrams to the Sun
from Manila state that Aguinaldo,
the insurgent leader, has been pur-
suing campaign of brilliant success.
The latest developments there are
that he has captured Jmus, the prin-
cipal interior town of Cavite prov
ince, which is particularly impor-
tant because it will form q highly
advantageous base of supplies for
the rebels. There has been hot fight
ing, in which the insurgents have
shown great bravery.
Since he landed at Cavite, about
Two weeks ago, Aguinaldo has Cap
tured 1.G0O Spanish prisoners and
has subjugated the entire province
of Cavite His men are now well
armed
Aguinaldo has issued proclama-
ton stating that he has returned to
the PHILIPPINE Islands as dictator be-
cause the Spaniards have not carried
out promised reforms in the govern
ment.
American naval men returning
from Manila say that admiral Dewey
has that city under complete control
and can lay it in ruins at any time.
Subiugation of the Spanish forces in
the PHILIPPINES, they say, will be
easy.-Baltimore Sun.

ARMY OF Invasion Departs.

Troops will leave Tampa to-day
The announcement can be authori,
lively made. Their destination viii
be Santiago, and force of 27,OOO,
mostly regulars, will comprise the eX
petition. This will leave another
$4,000, regulars and volunteers, still
at Tampa available for the move
ment upon Porto Rico, which will be
started as soon as the volunteers who
are at Jacksonville can be equipped
and made ready to join the remain
ing Tampa forces. 1t has been a
long delay, and there have been dis
appointments and Demonstrations.
At last, however, the period of wit
ing seems to be over. The War De-
partment officials yesterday admit
red that not a soldier or transport
had left Tampa, but with equal
frankness it was asserted that orders
had been sent that the movement
must begin to day.-Washingtop

Mr.. Dryden, chairman of the Mary
land commission to confer with a
similar commission representing the
State of Virginia, has proposed to
Senator Mushbach, chairman of the
Virginia commission, that they meet
in Alexandria, or in Washington, at
an early day to arrange for joint
meetings of the two bodies to deter>
mine the State boundary lines in the
Potomac river. The meeting pro-
posed will amount to nothing and
will be only waste of time to those
representing Virginia, unless they are
prepared to accede to all the de-
mands which our Maryland friends
may make upon them and even then
it is doubtful if a settlement of the
rights of the two states could be eff
fected. The boundary dispute has
too long been a source of revenue to
certain Maryland politicians for
them to want an adjustment of our
differences. The course pursued by
them in the matter of the Pocomoke
boundary question is sufficient proof
that the meeting as to the State
boundary lines in the Potomac
will result in failure.

The BRYAN regiment was formal

The Bryan regiment was formally
offered to the War Department Mon
day and is expected to be mustered
in and sent to the South in a few
days. That he will be able to give g
good account of himself if the OPP
portunity is presented, no one doubts
unless he is so blinded by the love Of
the yellow metal that he cannot see
the merit there is in him. He says he
has been studying tactics for several
weeks but does not know how pro
fcient he is. Such modesty was ex
pected of him, but the people have
confidence in him and do not believe
that anything he attempts would not
be we'll done.

A bill providing for the taking OF
the twelfth census was passed by
the United States Senate Wednesday,
after debate which occupied the
greater part OF three days. According
20 provision inserted in the bill, not
more than two thirds of the supervi-
sors and enumerators should belong
70 one political party. In the present
EZRA of good feeling and obliteration
of seetionalism' it was expected that
our republican friends would consent
to an equal division of the spells III
a matter which is purely business
one. Their patriotism as yet evidently
does not extend so far as dividing
the ''loaves and fishes.

President Mckinley is reported, as
having recently predicted, that the
war would end before August LIST,
and glimpse has been given to the
public of the rosy picture from which
he draws his conclusions. His reason
for the faith that is in him. in that
respect, seems not to be the result OF
what has already been done by oul

idea of what constitutes starvation. Still

THE truth sometimes causes pain and
it is to be regretted that the enterprising
owners Of the New Castle News are 80
much offended by the plain truth about
the condition Of the poor of New Castle.
Still they have good business reason
for not wishing that truth to come out.
They rely on Wilmington merchants for
advertising and they are enjoying hap
piness and prosperity while hundreds
about them need food. What need they,
therefore, care about their hungry

JERRY SIMPSON says that if he were
treating the Cuban question he would
treat it as President Mckinley is doing.
Some people, however, will not feel SO
sure of this. When somebody said to
Charles Lamb that if he had had mind
he could have written Shakespeare, the
humorist replied: But you didn't have
4 mind" 1t takes brains to do what
the President is doing.
