now how that money was raised. Mr..

MAJOR GENERAL Fitzhugh Lee in
his article on Cuba under Spanish
Rule" in the current number OF Nc
Clure's Magazine, speaks of the United
States in the singular number. This
shows the great change that has taken
place in the ideas of some of the people
of this country in respect of the charac-
ter of their government, that has taken
place since the close of the war between
the States. Until that time the United
States. at home as well as abroad, were
spoken of as the States, and always in
the plural number.

The disinterested people OF this coun
try. even those who we're opposed to
the Spanish war, would feel better sat-
isfied if in the conduct of that war the
United States could point to something
else than the capture of few merchant
vessels and of the undefended harbor OF
Manila, and thereby show that some
thing had been, instead Of, going TO be,
done. One effected, practical object
would be worth more than hundred
of such as the sensational newspapers
for month past have been announcing
for the future.

Spanish Reports of Cervera's Fleet.

pcehAoiA Az POA'D - w. ~ - - - 1900
PARIS, June 3.-.There is persistent
belief here and at Madrid that Admiral
Cervera is not at Santiago de Cuba.
The correspondent of the Gaulois at
Madrid telegraphs from there saying
he has learned from the highest au
thority that Admiral Cervera has never
been in the hsrbor of Santiago de
Cuba, and that the Spanish ships there
belong TO Captain Villami's torpedo
squadron. It appears from the inform
alton gathered by the Gaulois that Ad
miral Cervera, after leaving the Cape
Verde Islands, "maneouvred so as to
deceive the Americans and then started
at full speed for tho Philippine Islands,
where the fleet is to arrive on Satur.
day or Sunday. His orders are to de.
stroy Admiral Dewey's fleet and then
intercept, capture or destroy the
American transports on their way to
the Philippine Islands from San Fran.
,isco." In conclusion the Gaulois says:
Admiral Camara's squadron may be
expected to join Admiral Cervera's in
the Philippine Islands in few weeks"

CAPE FEAR AND YADKIN VAL
LEY RAILROAD.

The appeal OF the plaintiffs in the
case Of certain Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley Railroad bonds from the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals to the
United States Supreme Court, and the
decision of the latter to grant q writ OF
certiorari, have the effect of delaying,
at least for one year, it is thought, the
adjustment of the affairs of the rail-
road, so that it could pass out OF the
hands of receiver into those of the
stockholders.
The decision of the lower court was
that the Mercantile Trust and Deposit
Company, as depository for the Balti-
more committee, should continue in
possession of the bonds in dispute.
These bonds had been placed by the
New York holders in the hands of the
deposit company, subject only to the
order of the Baltimore committee. Un-
til the Supreme Court renders de-
c;son as to their disposition, no steps
can be taken looking to q reorganiza-
ton of the property. It is stated that
prior 10 the appeal, reorganization
plans were in course of formulation.
General John Gill, of Baltimore, is re.
ceiyer of the road and will now continue
TO draw salary of 81 900 month. In
the meantime the stockholders will
continue to draw what they have been
drawing for the past four years
nothing.

AT CAMP LEE.

Col. William Male, of the Third
Regiment, is now the commanding OF.
fcer at Camp Lee. Nothing has been
decided with reference to moving the
camp to Forest Hill. II the Third and
Fourth Regiments are to remain there
for one week, the change will probably
be made. But it would not be sur.
prising if both regiments should be
ordered away from there this week.
Acting Adjutant General 10 Lane
Stern yesterday issued an order direct
ing the officers Of the two colored bat
talions in this State to recruit their
mon up to the desired strength, pend
ing call upon the Governor. The
colored officers say they will have no
trouble if colored officers command, but
that if it is the intention to have white
officers, they could not induce the men
to enlist.
Governor Tyler has been moving in
the matter of the complaints OF the
failure of the government to supply the
Virginia troops with proper equipments
and received telegram from Senators
Daniel and Martin last night, giving the
assurance of the War Department that
the regiment just left would have
ample supplies forwarded to them at
their destination and that the trooI s
there would be speedily equipped. The
Governor contracted yesterday for
/ 500 undershirts and 500 pairs of shoes
for the soldiers.
1t can be stated on high authority
that one of the regiments now in Rich
mond will go to the Philippines. The
men of both commands are anxious
to go.

THE SECOND Is OFF.

The Second Virginia Regiment is en-
route to Jacksonville to join Lee, the
orde's to go to Tampa having been
changed on Wednesday. The scenes
in Richmond yesterday attending their
march to the train were at once inspir-
ing, interesting and pathetic. Fully
half the people of Richmond were out
to see the soldiers off. Many business
houses and offices were closed from
nine o'clock until the last section of the
train had left. Thousands of people
lirel the sidewalks and filled the
yards, porches ard windows from
Richmond College to the depot, There
were, perhaps, $1,000 people about the
station at one time. From the time the
regiment was cheered by the veterans
from the Soldiers Home, in front OF
Camp Lea, until the station was reach
ed. the trip was marked by a series OF
ovations. All along Franklin street
pretty maids and stately matrons,
battle-scarred veterans and strong
young men, boys and girls, white and
black, rich and poor, waved farewells
10 the soldiers. There were immense
gatherings about the Commonwealth
Club and Jefferson Hotel, and these
crowds were amopg the most enthusi-
aslic. One woman marched beside her
son the entire distance from Camp Lee
10 The station, nearly three miles. She
was in mourning.
1t required very little time to get the
men into the cara, and then the guards
took their positions, and allowed no
one but the soldiers to enter the coaches.
The soldiers were kept within
the cars. People moved about from
one train to another, md hundreds
OF men and women shook hands with
each soldier. Mothers, sisters and
sweethearts stood under the car win
dows and chatted with their loved ones
until the train moved off. Many tears
were shed. The mother of one of the
soldiers broke completely down, and
bad to be supported by strong arms as
she turned away from her boy. While
the boys were waiting to start many
were treated to oranges and other fruit.
Two ladies bought up all the oranges
they could find and presented them to
the soldiers. Governor Tyler, who had
been at his home, in Southwest Vir.
GINA, left there Wednesday evening, in
order TO be present at the departure OF
the troops. He reached Richmond in
time to go to camp, and accompany the
men on their last march through the
streets of Richmond.
Governor Tyler and the members OF
his staff took positions on the rear
platform Of Pullman car, standing on
the easterly track at the depot, and
the chief magistrate briefly addressed
the troops within his hearing. The
Governor spoke feeliDgly, and compli-
mented the men on the readiness with
which they had responded to his call.
There was but little delay in the en-
barking OF the troops, and by eleven
o'clock the last one of the three sections
OF the train that is to carry the Second
Regiment to its dest nation left the
depot. Nearly every company that left
Richmond yesterday morning had a
mascot in the shape Of dog or cat.

FBrDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1888.

EVEN SOME Northern newspapers
those that have common sense-cannot
perceive any reason in the administra-
tons policy of appointing negro post
masters in the South, in every part OF
which section they are Objectionable to
the white people thereof, who compose
almost the entire class Of those who are
served with mail at Southern postof-
fees. II, in this alleged "era of good
feeling" and "obliteration of sectional
ISM" the President would treat the
south as he does the North-where he
appoints no negro postmasters-he
would conduoe Infinitely more TO the
re-astablishment OF kindly relations BE-
tween the people OF the once-divided
Uaion, than tie republican Congress
has done by passing bill to remove
disabilities from dead Confederates.
