Soldier Seriously Injured.

Jacksonville, Fla, August 6.-Or-
ders have been received for the First
North Carolina regiment, in camp
here, and the First Alabama and
Second Texas regiments, now at
Miami, to communicate with General
Wade at Washington and to hold
themselves in readiness for early de-
parture for Porto Rico. These orders
were sent from Washington before the
prospects for peace were so favorable
as they are now and it is surmised
that there may be a change and that
the regiments will remain in the state

The publisher OF a newspaper has
one thing 10 sell and one thing TO rent.
He has his newspaper 20 sell and a
part OF his columns 10 rent. Can any
one tell who he should be expected 10
give away either one or the other? He
can do so IL he chooses and as a mat
ter OF fact he does furnish a good deal
Of his newspaper space rent free. But
ii does not follow that n should bs

the giving away Of goods by merchants
would be. But, strange 10 say, IL Is not

The Wreck off Sable Isle

st. Johns, N. F., August 6.-Inspector
O'Reilly, of the revenue police, arrived
here from Tilt Cove today. He states
that he examined the man Jenkins who
brought the news there respecting the
report in the loss of a line steamship.
Jenkins, who lives at Bryant's Cove.
thirteen miles across Penguin peninsu
Ia, says a schooner from Quirpon is
land, off the northern extremity of New
FOundland, at the entrance to the
strait of Belle Isle, arrived there and
reported that on the previous night,
while in the strait of Belle Isle, she saw
the lights Of a steamer and heard a
terrible crash, followed quickly by
screams as of victims of a marine dis
aster. Then there was absolute silence.
as if all had sunk. jenkins walked
across the peninsula. to convey the
news, but had neglected to question
the crew of the schooner closely as to
details. He was sent back by the Off
Ger to make further inquiries, but the
schooner had sailed again for the fish
ing grounds. Inspector OReilly says
that majority Of the people in that
section believe a disaster has occurred.

From Admiral Sampson. Camp McCoIia
8roken Up-Naval Oficer~ Worn out
by Constant Blockade Work.

Playa del Este. Guantanamo Bay,
August 6.-The marine camp here was
broken up on the afternoon of August
5th and the marine battalion was trans
lutte for service in other parts of
Cuba. AS indicated in these dis
patches, the main body of the feet
will remain here ready for any kind
OF service awaiting orders from Wash
ington. The idea rather gains ground
that the navy's active part in the war
is nearly over.
Rear Admiral Sampson, as he
watched the flames at Camp McCalla
light the hills paid high ecomiums {
the marines, which were echoed by all
the naval officers. Admiral Sampson
said: II don't know what We would
have done without Guantanamo bay,
which is better as harbor and base
than Santiago or any other place in
south Cuba. Nothing could have been
better than the results accomplished
by the marines backed up by the ships;
and in their next undertaking they
will doubtless do just as we'll"
The Frolic has arrived from Key
West.
Chief Master-at- Arms Gratz, of the
battleship Oregon, yesterday commit
ted suicide by shooting himself.
The Scorpion has arrived from
Cienfuegos. Lieutenant Commander
Mark confirms the previous reports
of starvation in that section of the
coast. The blockading work is ted
ious, but is effectively performed.
The men bear the dreary routine and
the continual wallowing of the small
boats without a word of complaint
'eutenant Commander Mark said
that Naval Cadet Combs, who has not
yet graduated, but is doing duty on the
Scorpion, is down with malarial fever.
While the Scorpion was off Mama
milo, with the temperature at 1O5 de-
grees, General quarters" was sound
ed suddenly. Cadet Combs rushed
from his sick bed to his station,
stark naked, but with his sword
buckled around his waist. This
plucky young officer will have to be
sent home to recuperate. The Incl
dent is merely characteristic Of the
hard, unheralded work done with quiet
bravery and endless patience aboard
the small craft doing blockade duty
on the Cuban coast.
1t is hoped that the. international
relations will soon assume a phase that
will enable the fleet to take either ag-
gressive action or a much needed rest
in drydocks.

Protection for the Clergy in the Philip
pines.

Washington, August 6.-Inasmuch
as it has been stated that the arch
bishop of Manila has been directed by
the vatican to place himself and his
clergy under the protection of the
American commanders it may be stat
ed that such protection will be afford
ed on exactly the same terms and con-
ditions that will be extended to the
clergymen of all religious denomina-
tions and to all non-combatants in
Manila and the remainder of the Phil
ippines. 1t is known that the insur-
gents have particularly singled out
the Catholic clergy as the objects of
their vengeance, without doubt inspir-
ed by the powerful assistance afford
ed to the Spanish cause by the priests
and the friars in their efforts to re-
press the rebellion in its earliest
stages. However, so long as the
clergy refrain from taking up arms in
the Spanish cause the American COM
manders, naval and military, will af-
ford them such protection as the rules
of civilized warfare requires.

A Challenge for the Anne rica,s Cup

London, August 6.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton, in the course of an interview with
a reporter of the Associated Press this
evening said concerning his challenge
for a race for the American cup:
"A deputation of three members of
the Royal Ulster Yacht Club met me
and Mr.. Russell in London this morn
ing. and drew up the challenge, which
was forthwith cabled to the New York
Yacht Club, whose reply I hope to re-
ceive on Monday. The challenge is abb
solutely conditional. as I am perfectlp
satisfied that the race will be conduct
ed with the same impartiality as are
the Cowes races and that all Ameri-
cans desire the best boat to win, as
my colleagues and myself do. My
boat will be a S0-footer cutter rugged"

good

Washington, August GA good
deal of concern is felt at the navy de-
partment at the break down Of Cap
tin Brown Clark of the Oregon. Not
t.e slightest information has reached
ere as to the nature of the captains
illness; all that is known is that Com
modore Watson, his immediate super
ior, ordered a medical board TO exam
inc him with the result that he was
condemned and ordered home. II
does not follow from this that the
captains collapse is permanent and
his splendid physique and usual Wig
orous health afford reasonable gnDund
for the belief that he will regain his
health in the north. Captain Barker,
who was in command of the Newark,
has been assigned to the command of
the Oregon in place Of Captain Clark.

The Remarkable Heroism Of Eight
American Sailors.
BRAvED DEADLY SPANISH FIRE

And Succeeded In Blocking Ceryera's
Escape From santiago-Taken Pris-
oners by the Spaniards, who Are
Amazed at Their Daring.
Port Antonio. Jamaica, June g.
Eight American sailors have gained for
themselves inches in the temple of
fame by an act of heroism never ex-
celled in the worlds history. In order
to block the exit of Cervera's Spanish
fleet from the harbor of Santiago
Lieutenant Hobson, of the flagship
New York, conceived the idea of sink
ing the collier Merrimac in the narrow
channel Permission was granted by
Admiral Sampson. and, with a volun-
teer crew. of seven men, under cover of
the darkness after the moon had set,
shortly after o'clock Friday morning.
he ran the Merrimac into the throat
OF the harbor, swung her broadside
across the channel, and then exploded
and sank her. He succeeded in this
desperate enterprise under the fires of
the batteries and forts which guard the
entrance, and without support from the
fleet.
Ensign Powell also of the New York
with a steam launch. crept close under
the guns of Morro Castle to take off
the heroes of the Merimac and re-
mained there pluckily until daylight
discovered his position. without seeing
a trace of the Merrimac's crew To
have remained longer would have been
sheer madness. AS it was, he retired
under a heavy fire from Mauser rifles
and the heavy guns of the batteries.
The heroes who performed this mar
velous feat of daring were:
Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson, as
sistant naval constructor. Lieutenant
Hobson was born at Greensboro. Ala,
