WORSE AND WORSE
The Negro Ministers of Whining
ton In Hearty Sympathy
With the Record.

Wilmington Star.
The following appeared in the
Daily Record, the negro paper
published here. in its issue of
yesterday:
""The following resolutions
were adopted at the regular ses-
sion of the Ministerial Union.
which is composed of the colored
ministers of the city:
Resolved, That the Minis
terial Union is in hearty sym
pathy with the efforts of the
Daily Record in defending the
rights of the race, and that each
minister inform his congregation
of the present situation and en-
deavor to sustain the paper by
swelling its subscription list and
urging prompt payment"
AS this resolution is unqualified
in it's language, the inference is
that the ''colored ministers" OF
Wilmington are in hearty sympa
thy with the Record, and must.
therefore, indorse the vlllainous
editorial attacking white women
which appeared in that paper OF
the 18Th inst. Without further
comment just now. however, we
will give the ministerial Union
time to either affirm or deny thai
they have been correctly reported
in the Record, and to state
whether the resolution was
adopted before Or after the
editorial referred to appeared.

OF the colonies established by the

Tucker said, in a recent interview:
1--WE m0w have three colonization
farms, which, for the sake of presery-
ing the military terminology, we call:
forts. The first lis Fort Romie. in Cal
ifornia, where we have settled twenty
families, including eighty persons; the
second is Fort Sells, in Colorado. where
we have settled fifteen families. in
cluding seventy persons, so many of
whom are from Chicago that thew call
it a suburb Of Chicago. The number
of people in this colony is limited onlv
by the amount of capital at our disno-
sal. Our third farm is called Fort Her
rick, after Colonel Myron T. Herrick
of Cleveland, one Of the most liberal
patrons. The farm which is known az
the James Parmalee place is situated
one mile from the lake and two miles
from Mentor, the home of President
Garfield. It contains 2S5 acres or fine
farming land and will provide homes
for fifty families. The purpose is to
divide most Of this farm up into five
acre lots and to erect on each of them
cottage containing two or three
rooms. These little homesteads we will
rent to city families for. say, 81
week, to enable them to embarl. IN
the business of market gardening. We
rent to no one but agriculturalists who
have moved to the city, have lost their
grip and want to get back to the coun-

Washington, July 6. - The authori-
ties here, military and naval, say that
Santiago has already made it's best
fight, and that its occupation is only a
question Of time, and very brief time.
Gen. Skaters very strong position
was shown in series Of dispatches.
Most striking of all is his feeling Of
hope and strength in that dispatch
given out late in the day in which he
gives his terms for the surrender Of
the city under pain Of bombardment.
The following is the demand for the
surrender: "
II shall be obliged, unless you sur
render, to shell Santiago de Cuba.
Please inform the citizens of foreign
countries and all women and children
that they should leave the city before
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. VERY
respectfully, your obedient servant.
-"W. R. Shafter,
'MajOr General, u. S. A."
Following is the Spanish reply from
Col. Dorst:
II have the honor to reply to your
communication written at $50 a. NJ,
and received at 1 p. M, demanding the
surrender of the city, and that I ad-
wise the foreign women and children
that they must leave the city before
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. It is
my duty to say to you that this city
Will Not Surrender.
and that will inform the foreign con-
suls and inhabitants of the contents Of
your message. Very respectfully,
-"Jose Toral. ::
"COmmander-in-C -Chief.''
The foreign cOnsulS at Santiago
made a joint representation, request
ing that women and children in the
city have until Tuesday noon to with
draw before the bombardment be-
gins. The Spanish general declined to
surrender at the time first set by Shaf-
ter. At present truce exists, pending
the expiration of the twenty-four
hours asked for by the foreign consuls.
Later dispatches breathe the same air
of hope and confidence as shown in his
demand on the Spanish commander.
The first one made public during the
day said that his lines completely sur
rounded the city from the bay on the
north to San Juan river an the SOUTH,
thus enveloping the city by stretch of
water on one side and a stretch Of
Shafter epitomized the strength of his
position by saying:
Il feel that am master of the situ-
alton and can hold the enemy for any
length of time" In another dispatch
Gen. Shafter says that his demand for
the surrender of Santiago is still be-
ing considered by the Spanish authori-
ties, which indicates that the refusal
of the Spanish commander to capitu-
late was not final. In any event 12

to Gen. Shafter in which he said:s

war the private's part is more import
ant than in any war in the past. The
open order formation in which battle

the individual soldier more dependent

conditions being equal, the army that

TO ASSAULT SANTIAGO.

It appears that General Shafter has
determined to assault Santiago with
out waiting for reinforcements. This
seems bold plan, but General Shafter
is proving himself a bold leader 1t is
known that SOME eight thousand
troops, with large droves of cattle, are
on their way to relieve General Linares,
and will arrive in a day or SO. Rein
forcements for our own army will also
arrive in a few days; and both being
reinforced the two armies would be rel
that there would really be little advan-
tage in waiting for achievements be-
fore making an assault.
1t cannot be expected that place
so strongly fortified as Santiago can
be carried by assault without a large
loss of life. The Spaniards viii have
to fight or surrender, for there can be
no falling back from Santiago. In
the encounters thus far had they have
not stood up like men who would make
a desperate death struggle, nor is is
probable that they have fallen back for
the purpose of making a great last
struggle.
Santiago carried. then will follow the
entrance of the American squadron
into the harbor to receive the surren-
der of Cerveras feet or to give it bat
tie. If battle is to be done, it will
probably be one of the greatest naval
fights the world ever witnessed.

LACK OF REVENUE STAMPS.

Tomorrow the new revenue law goes
into operation, but the treasury depart
ment is no more prepared to carry it
/ into effect than the country was pre-
pared for war on the 18th of April last.
There was some excuse for the UMPIRE
paredness for war, for the declaration
came almost Unexpectedly, while it has
been known for weeks and weeks that
there was to be a new revenue law.
Procrastination and imbecility have
marked the course of the treasury de-
partment in this matter, and there is
70 valid excuse for its dilatoriness,
although many will doubtless be Of
feIsd.
These structures may seem severe, but
they are justified by the facts in the
case of this state. The deputy inter-
nal revenue collector for Utah has re-
ceivcd internal revenue stamps to the
! amount of just six hundred dollars.
Such an amount is simply ridiculous;
it is scarcely more than a drop in the
bucket. To show how ridiculous it is
to send such an amount to this state,
it is only necessary to state that one
! bank in this city alone made its first or
der for revenue stamps precisely six
hundred dollars. Presumably the other
banks made orders for about the same
amount
Not only this Utah has to get her
revenue stamps from the collector Of
the district, who resides in Helena,
Mont. This is another going around
Robin Hoods barn way of doing bust
ness. The state should be made a dis
trict for revenue purposes the same as
it is for judicial purposes.
The result of lack of sufficient reve-
nue. stamps is likely to cause more or
less embarrassment to business men.
Instruments requiring revenue stamps
to be attached to them to make them
valid, will he invalid without them, and
the fact that those executing them
could not procure. them would make no
difference But then it takes so long to
raise, equip and drill an army!

Lafayette college. Pa, has quite
a sensation, one that will bring it into
unenviable notoriety. One of the pro-

college, and it was upon him he sought
to wreak his revenge He is now in

was deprived of his professorship by
the president of the college, and this
was the reason for his dastardly act.
Already his friends have put forth pleas
of one kind or another in his behalf,
chiefly that his mind is unbalanced
Possibly it is, but all these discoveries
are made after a crime has been COM
mitted, and for the purpose of shield
ing the criminal from the consequences
of his act. This Lafayette college pro-
fessor appears to be nothing more than

ment given him for his disease" should
be that meted out to ordinary crimi-
nails. Happily there are very few such
men to be found in American colleges.

NO sPANISH-AMERICAN PRO
ELECTORATE.

To put them under a Spanish-Ameri-
can protectorate until their final dis
position is determined upon would seem
to be the wisest and most statesman
like course. 1t promises the best re-
suits alike for the United States, Spain
and the Philippines, says the New York
Herald.
Put the Philippines under Spanish
American protectorate! What a splen-
did idea, 1t is not metropolitan; it is
cosmopolitan. Uncle Sam wants no
partnership with Blifil or Black George.
Such a protectorate would be positive
detriment to all parties concerned.
When the war is over and the time
for making disposition of Spanish col
onies that may come under the con-
troll of the United States arrives, it
may be deemed wise to place the Phil
ippines under an American protecto-
rate, but it can never be wise to join
Spain in any such protectorate. Such
a conjunction would only make more
difficult for this government to dis
charge its duties under a protectorate.
It is true that it is suggested that
the islands be placed under joint
protectorate only until their final dis
position is determined upon. The sug-
gestion assumes that Spain will read
lily acquiesce in a partial surrender of
her sovereignty over them, thing she
would never do in the world; for her
to consent to such an arrangement
would be for her to enter into an ar
rangement for her own degradation.
But suppose Spain would consent to
such an arrangement, the American
people never. would. 1t would contain
mate this government for all time, for
as men cannot handle pitch without
becoming contaminated, so cannot gov
ernments. There will be no Spanish
American protectorate over the Phil
ippines, either permanently or tempo
rarily. Such a thing is impossible.

BE NOT DECEIVED

Indications are not wanting to show
that the goldbugs have adopted a new
set o. tactics for use IN the west.
Alarmed at the continuous growth OF
the silver sentiment, Campaign Man
ager Hanna conceived the idea OF
changing the national issues.
Therefore, President Mckinley is to
reverse himself, to abandon the policy
he outlined for his administration, to
take back his official decla' alton ag last
a war of conquest" to remodel his
territorial aggression" ideas.
Mark saw IN the war his hope of
burying the silver question and recap
turing the recalcitrants of 1896. To a
certain extent he will succeed. But
the fact remains that the silver issue
is still the most important before the
American people. and will remain so
until bimetallism comes to stay.
The planting of our national Ltand-
ard on a thousand isles of some dis
tant sea does not mean so much, in
ore way or the other, to the American
people, as the planting of the double
standard means to them.
It is not more necessary to drive the
yellow flag of Spain from foreign
islands than to drive the yellow flag of
financial desDotism from our own
shores
Let no one be led astray by this new
bait. 1t bangles from the same old
line. and Mark Hanna holds the rod.
