Pacific Squadron.

The United States has a squad
ron on the Pacific that is surpris-
ingly large, considering the size
of the American navy. 1t con
sists of nine vessels, seven OF
which can fight, while two are
used as colliers. The fighting
ships are the protected cruisers
Olympia, Baltimore, Boston, and
Raleigh, the gunboats Concord and
Petrol and the revenue cutter Nc
Culloch, which has a considerable
armament, including torpedo
tube. The Olympia Is considered
about the best and most powerful
cruiser of her class in the service,
while the others are heavily armed.
Comparison with Spain's fleet in
the Philippines shows that the
squadron under Commodore
Dewey is far superior to it.

Porto Rico AS 1t Is.

Officers of British vessel say
that while their ship was in the
harbor Of San Juan the Spanish b
were planting mines there; that
the defences of San Juan are an
tiquated, and could be smashed
by a few modern shells. There
had been riots all over the island
since the election, which resulted
in the ousting from Office of some
Spaniards and the substitution Of
native Porto Ricans.
Many of the Porto Ricans are
strongly American in spirit and
favor the annexation OF the
island to the United States. From
the British consular agent at
Mayaguez the officers Of the Vir-
ginia learned that many persons
in the interior OF the island were
dying Of starvation. The tax on
provisions had been raised, and
all eatables were very dear. Fish
was 10 cents and rice 10 cents q
pound.

Cartridges by the Million.

Colonel W hittemore has re-
ceived orders to put all the re-
serve machinery for the manu-
facture of cartridges in operation
at once at the Arsenal. Pennsyl-
vania.
The orders received are so i'm
peratiye that the employees must
work in three turns, which in.
clude night and day. The big
rolling mill building, which turn
ed out cannon balls during the
last war and was used since as a
storehouse, will be made to suit
the purposes Of torpedo screw
making departm eut. Machines
are being transferred to it, and
within few days number of
them will be in position ane
ready for operation. This addi-
ton to the number of machines
already doing splendid work will
almost double the present output
Of the arsenal, about 100000 car
tridges every twenty four hours.
The cartridges manufactured are
no longer Of the Springfield rifle
size, but they are for the Krag-
Jorgensen gun, now used by the
United States Marine Corps. The
Ordnance Department officials
claim that the gun is somewhat
on the pattern of rapids firing
rife, and because Of its wonderful
shooting capacity an immense
number Of cartridges will be re-
quired in the event of hostilities

Gil Ward Acquitted of the Murder of Mag

AS we have said before, our
readers are familiar with all the
horrible details of the pursuit
across the fields to neighbor's
house and the killing there of

paramour, who stabbed her to
the heart and gave her other
mortal wounds and fearful
slashes, and then fed the scene,
and afterwards the State.
The ARGUS has been persistent
in its demands that this man
should be apprehended and
brought to trial. At length, after
nearly five years, he was captured
in Texas and Thursday last
he was put on trial in this county
for his life..

Garry Aycock
After the State had establish
ed, by the testimony Of eye wit
nesses, the facts as above stated
in brief, the defendants counsel
introduced number of witnesses
who testified, that on Friday and
Saturday afternoon before the
killing on Sunday morning, Dec.
II, 1898, and on the evening Of
the day of the killing, Gil WARD
was in damented condition from
excessive drinking. Drs. ". j.

nedy, aud Geo. L. Kirby were
then introduced, who testified
that upon the statements of the
witnesses for the defense Gil
Ward was suffering from deler-
ium tremens, and was not ment-
ally responsible.
The case was then put TO the
jury, Solicitor Pou opening for
the State in strong and elo-
quent arraignment of the pris-
oner. He was followed for the
defense by Messrs. Jno. E.
Woodland, of Wilson, and W. R..
Allen, I. F. Dortch and G. B.
Aycock, Of this Bar. Messrs.
W. T. Dortch, W. G. Munroe and
F. A. Daniels being also Of coun-
sci for the defense. Solicitor Pou
