The division under command of
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee will remain idle
for while yet as the government is
not yet ready to send an expedition
to HAVANA. Gen. Lee wants the
independent battalion of South Caro-
lima assigned to his command and
Senator Tillman is working hard to
have the Generals wishes complied
with.
A desperate fight occurred at
Guantanamo between the American
and Spanish forces, which lasted for
thirteen long hours. American
marines were landed and the Span
ish regulars and guerrillas attacked
them, killing four Americans and
wounding one. The Spanish loss is
said to have been appalling. The
Spaniards, finding themselves unable
to hold the town, sacked and burned
it, completely destroying it. The
American flag now floats over the
Spanish fort.

The war department is in search OF
of q healthy locality suitable for a
rendezvous for the volunteer troops.
The experience at Chickamauga is
anything but satisfactory and show
that this place is totally inadequate
to the demands for such purposes.
It is claimed that the water supply
for both bathing and drinking pur-
poses is insufficient, and the sanitary
arrangements are poor, consequently
many of the volunteers are in the
hospital, while others are sick IN
their tents. From these facts the
government, it is claimed, is de-
sirous of seeking a new site for the
camp.
One of the most prominently and
favorably spoken of places is Colum-
bia, the capital of this State, and we
submit as a matter of fact no more
eligible site could possibly be Sc
lected for this purpose than Colun-
bia and vicinity. Its advantages
over its rivals are numerous and we'll
recognized. Proyerbially healthy,
unsurpassed climate, une1celled
transportation facilities, and abund-
ance of pure fresh water for all pur-
poses make 1t the place that should
be selected by the authorities.

GOOD and showed excellent training
on the part of the teacher. Several
graduated and received their diplo-
mas, viz: Misses Evaline Jones,
Emma Kernaghan, Maude Kerna-

Profs. Daniel and Sanders, and
Misses Wakefield and Newton have
earned the highest esteem Of the en-
tire community for their faithfulness
and efficiency. We regret that all
will not return, as Prof. Sanders has
been elected Principal OF the South
Carolina Co Educational Institute at
Williston, and Miss Newton has &C
cepted the POI tfolio of Music IN the
Cokesbury Academy. The vacancies
here have not been filled yet.

Charleston and to the management
of the Post and we congratulate both.

has had information as late as Satur-
day to the effect that the squadron
was already at sea and was about to
depart. About week before that it
had been told that the Cadiz feet
had sailed. Having in mind these
conflicting reports, the war board
scarcely knows where to give Gre
dence, though it would seem to be
an extraordinary circumstance that
the least doubt could exist as to the
presence in or absence from the har-
Dor Of popular city such as Cadiz
of a whole squadron of warships.
However, the weight of opinion
seems to incline to the presence Of
the fleet at Cadiz owing to the bad
condition of the ships.
1t may be noted, however, that
although acting upon this belief, as
shown by the beginning Of the mill
tary invasion of Cuba, the war board
is taking no unnecessary chance of
surprise, and by means Of scouts has
provided for securing timely warn
ingof the approach of any hostile
vessels to the seat of war.
A good deal of surprise is express
ed at the failure of the report to men
ton any substantial aid received from
the insurgents by the United States
marines camped on Cresehrill. Re
Inducements were sent from our own
warsbips, but it does not appear in
the reports that tie marines had help
from the men best calculated from
their experience in Jungle fighting to
be of service in an encounter with
Spanish guerrillas.
Without any Encouragement to the
fighting ability of the marines, who
appear to have acquitted themselves
with the greatest credit so far as
concerns their bravery and steadi-
ness under fire, the question has
been raised in the minds of the mill
tary experts whether, failing in any
substantial assistance from the
Cubans who reported to have been so
numerous in the vicinity, western
soldiers trained in Indian fighting
would not be of more service in a
Cuban jungle campaign. Nothing
so severely tasks the courage and
endurance of troops as to be shot at
from cover by an unseen foe and
only troops trained in our latest
skirmish drill can render effective
service in such attacks.
The navy department has con-
cluded that it has purchased as
many small vessels for the auxiliary
fleet as it requires, and an intima-
tion to that effect was conveyed to
Admiral Erbenl, in charge of that
service, today.

OBITUARY.

Our community was yelled IN deep
sorrow on June the I'd, when tie
news came from CASTOR College that
God with his almighty hand had
plucked from us our beloved friend
and schoolmate, Linda Kaiser.
Death always brings sorrow. Even
when the aged are taken away, but
when one is taken who is entering in
the prime of useful life the event is
sad indeed. The death OF Linda has
cast a gloom over the whole commu-
nifty in which she was so we'll known
and 80 highly esteemed. Language
fails to express the deep sorrow we
feel at the loss of our loved and
valued friend. In her death we
deeply feel the loss of a valuable
member and a faithful worker in our,
st. David, Sunday school, and all
Christian circles. Her voice which
was so familiar to US all will never
more be heard.
We should strive with earnest zeal,
and pure love for the Savior so that,
when we are called to pass into that
unknown world, We may joyfully lay
down our armour and receive the
reward of the faithful.
God alone knows the grand pos
sibilities to which she might have
attained had it not pleased Him to
remove her 80 soon. She is gone,
but time can never blot out OF our
memory her cheerful face and her
familiar voice can imaginable Ee
heard by those that were so familiar
with her.
We were all looking forward 10
meet her in a few days, from Castor
College, from which place she would
have graduated at the close of the
school.
She was buried at St. David's
church where she had been a consis
tent member and faithful worker
until her death. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by her pastor,
Rev. R. E. Livingston, who spoke
many comforting words to the grief
striken family and sorrowipg friends.
There was a large congregation
present at the funeral, who came
with offerings Of flowers and tear
stamped faces for last look at their
much loved friend. But her noble
life has closed and her familiar form
is hidden from our earthly view.
Yes, dear friend, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss We deeply feel;
But it's God that hath bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber-
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our numbers,
Thou 10 more our songs shall know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day OF life is fed;
Then in heaven with JOY to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
