Philadelphia. Pa, April 10.-Emil:o
Nunez, u general in the Cuban army
and member of the Cuban Junta, and
who is best known through his activity
in promoting Cuban filibustering expe-
ditions. talked with reporter of the
Associated Press to-day relative to the
possibility of the United States not rec

General Nunez said that die had been
told by man who is we'll informed
in diplomatic matters and who is AN
intimate friend of q representative at
Washington of a foreign government,
that the United States will not recognize
the independence of Cuba.
General Nunez does not believe that

said. with the few good ships that she
owns. Spain would not only lose Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands,
but would have to face a revolution at
home that would be difficult to put down
On the other hand, If Spain should
yield she will lose only Cuba, and the
revolution at home, if one should be
started, would not, in my opinion, amount
to much.

Dec. 5, 1898 Gen. Lee has issued
an order for the second division
to 60 to Cuba at an early date,
which order leaves us out, as our
division is the first. The men who
are anxious to 20 to Cuba had been
tuIl of hope that the commanding
general would designate the first
division, but they were doomed tc
disappointment. Gen. Keiffer has
gone on TO Washington to try TO
have the order changed and we
may yet be selected, but it is very
doubtful.

ATER2IslE TRAGEDY,

Two Young Ladies Drowned While
Attemr ting to Cross Black River.
Near the former site of Savage's
mill, where the Black River is
wide, and by reason of recent
rains swollen almost beyond the
banks, occurred a tragedy last
Tuesday night, which will long be
remembered in that section with
a thrill of horror. Long towards
evening Misses Minnie and Molly,
aged respectively Is and Is years,
daughters OF Dir. Thompson Green,
accompanied by their brother,
Charlie, set out to party across
the river at Mr.. Josiah Evans
house. Arriving at the river the
three attempted to cross in an old,
leaky batteau. In the middle Of
the stream the boat began to leak.
and, finding they could not bail
out the water, the young ladies'
became half frantic from fright and
stood up in the boat. Soon the
boat sank, leaving the three o:s1
pants helplessly struggling in the
water. The boy could not swim, but
managed to grasp the overhanging
branch OF tree, and, with bis
drowning sisters screaming for the
help he could not give, he saw
them sink for the last time beneath.
the sullen waters. The boy. after
auch difficulty, managed to get
ashore safely. The bodies Of the
young ladies were found after
several days. search.

Dec. 8, 1S98.-After an absence
of four weeks | returned 10 camp
yesterday morning to find that
many changes had taken place
in the regiment during my alb
sence. Gen. Lee has received or.
ders to send one of his divisions to
Cnba at an early date-next
week-and efforts are being made
TO have that division ours. Gen.
Lee has not yet decided which of
the divisions will be sent,
but it may be the first, which is
ours. However, Gen. Greene, the
commander of the second division,
is now on detached service IN Gu.
ba, so his command may be sent.
Lieut.. James j.. Kelley, Co. D,
is seriously i'll at his home in Clar.
endon county. Lieut.. Kelley is
very popular in the regiment, and
is an excellent gentleman, refined
and cultured. 1t is sincerely hop.
ed that he will soon recover, but
the reports received are not very
encouraging. Lleuts Dukes and
Spahr are also quite i'll at their
homes at Brsnchville and Orange
burg, respectively.
Corporal Turbeville, of Flor
ence, a member of Co. D, was a
printer on the Morning News here
some years ago, and last Thursday
his former companions on the paper
gave turkey dim er in his honor.
The regiment has just been
equipped with the 1897 model
Kraag-Jorgenson magazine rifles,
and the old 1873 model Spring
fields have all been called in. The
men are already familiar with the
workings of the new repeating
rifles and handle them we'll.
4 drunken ex-teamster caused
some trouble at the corral this
morning and was sent to the guard
house under guard. The man had
been discharged some time ago
and went back to the corral and
raised row to-day. As a result
he was sent into town and turned
over 10 the civil authorities.
Company A has been sent to
the city on provost duty. The
company will remain on this ser
vice for ten days, if the regiment
be kept here that length of time.
Two or three deserters are now
in the resimental guard house
awaiting trial.
The weather has modified a
great deal and the beautiful South
