THE %GOLDSBORO RIFLES.
Encamped at Jacksonville, Fla. Where
They Meet Friends and are Shown
Many Courtesies.

May %, '9s.
Editor ARGUs:-Af last our
boys are settled in a nicely located
camp just outside of Jacksonville.
When the N. c.. troops arrived
there was only one regiment on
the grounds, the LIST Illinois, but
at this time we are almost sur
rounded by soldiers, most of them
coming from the northwest.
The Wisconsin boys are stout
and sturdy chaps and are the most
popular with the "sTar Heels"
Just beyond the Wisconsin is the
End Iowa, and beyond them a reg
iment from Virginia.
More troops are daily expected
and 10 all 80, 600 men are to come
here. It is almost certain that
Gen'I Fitzhugh Lee will command
them. This means a trip to Cuba.
Whether or not this trip will be
pleasant remains to be seen. Yes
terday l overheard Gen'l Lawton
remark that he was not in favor OF
sending men to Cuba until the
rainy season is over IT this is
true we are, perhaps, due to re-
main in this vicinity for some time
to come. The n. G. troops would
not object 10 this, as they are al
ready attached to Jacksonville and
its people, who have extended US
every courtesy in their power, and
all the ''Tar Heels" find friends
among these hospitable people.
Mr. j. Dobbin Holmes, an old
North CaroIinian, has been in
camp each day and he is always
greeted in a hearty manner.
Goldsboro is the only company in
the regiment which sleeps on
straw and for this we are indebt-
ed to the generosity of Mr..
Holmes.
Many men from the northwest
and from our State are surprised
at the weather we are having here.
They seem to fad II much better
than they anticipated. From &c
a. NJ. to 4 p. m. the sun shines
very hot, but the nights + pleas
ant and, at times, even cool. Il
is always necessary to sleep under
a blanket.
Uncle Sam is very thought
full and does not make his mer
drill except before 9 a. ~. and
after 4-30 p. ~.
The water supply for the camp
is excellent. 1t comes from an
artes;an well only a few hundred
yards distant, and the boys realiza
that they are blessed in this re
gard.
Some of the boys can't cutie
understand why the clocks here are
lust an hour behind the time Of
the watches they brought from
home. One or two were reluctant
to turn their thermometers back
so minutes, saying as they die
so, they did not want Florida time,
as North Carolina time was gooC
enough for them. Their watches
are all straight now, but they
don't like the idea of going back
and living one hour over again
They may sometime learn to make
astronomical calculations, but this
will not occur any time oon

TT. OLIVE LETTER
A Condensed ChroniC1ing of the
Evenets that Transpire in
That Town and
Section.

The hobby horses have pulled
up and gone and with many a
nickle from parties that con-
demned others for spending
money %foolishly: and if you
spoke of going to a circus they
would hold up their hands in
horror at your wickedness. Also,
many a man, not boy, has spent
nickle after nickle that if he had
put them on his honest debts or
bought something for his wife
aud children, would have had
something to show for his money.
And yet they cry hard times. It
is time for US to quit grumbling
at hard times.
Mr.. Vance Harrell who had the
contract for digging the deep we'll
on East and West centre streets in
front of J. R. Smiths Drug
store, went down 100 feet, and
Tuesday he struck a strata of sand
lgravel and rock and this being
hard to get through with his pres
ent arrangements, gave it up, so
now if we have a deep well we
will have to contract with ether
parties. No doubt if they had been
able to get through this strata of
sand, gravel and rock we would
have enjoyed the benefits of deep

SANTIAGO AND PORTO RICO.
Troops to Be Sent for the Imme-
date Occupation of Both
Places.
By Telegraph to The Argus.

By Telegraph to The Argus.
Washington, May 31.-The
order directing eight regiments
of volunteers to go to Tampa
from Chicamauga Park is con-
strued here to mean that the
Government contemplates the
occupation of both the province
of Santiago and Porto Rico
without unnecessary delay. The
number of men included in the
order is s. 1000, which is to be
composed Of the best troops of
the volunteer army.
An Indiana Congressman this
morning requested President
Mckinley to appoint Lew WAL
lace Major-General of the vol.
unteers.
At the meeting of the Cabinet
to-day it. was evident that the
Presidents policy of postponing
operations against Havana until
the fall has not been changed. It
was the general opinion of the
members of the Cabinet that
troops would die faster from dis
ease than from bullets if they
we're sent to Havana at this
time.
Washington, May 31,-Gen-
eral F'itzhugh Lee, who is at
Tampa, has been ordered back to
Jacksonville Immediately, where
some 10000 troops are being
modified, and while the nature
of the order is not known to the
public it is presumed that this
movement of Lee means that he
is to lead on Cuba at once,
STEAMER CAPTURED
By Telegraph to The Argus.
Key West, May 30.-The pa
pers on the British steamship
Ristormel, which was captured
off Santiago with a cargo of 5000
tons of coal for Cervera, showed
that she was bound from Cardiff
to Porto Rico. She evidently
received information that it would
be dangerous to attempt to enter
Porto Rico ports and was seek
ing Cervera at Santiago.
When captured an attempt was
made to sink her, but the prize
crew, which had taken charge,
worked constantly at the pumps
until she arrived at this port.
When boarded by the quaran-
tine officers this morning she
carried the American flag on her
&oremast and a British flag at
half-mast amidship.

SCHLEY MAY NOT WAIT.
The Government Using Every
Effort TO Get Him Orders to
Postpone His Attack.
By Telegraph to The Argus

Navy department has just received
"A dispatch from Commodore
Schley stating that the Spanish
feet is in the bay of Santiago de
Cuba, and that he has seer and
recognized the vessels,
Naval officials have been morally
certain for several days that Cero
vera's squadron was in the har-
Dor of Santiago. The official an
nouncement from Commodore
Schley was received by the officers
on duty at the Department with
intense satisfaction.
Washington, May 3O.-Upon
receipt of positive information
as to the presence of the Span
ISL feet in Santiago harbor, it is
given out that the plan of cam
paign is the immediate invasion
of Cuba by land forces. To this
end Gen. Miles starts for Tampa
tonight, where the troops are
being prepared for transporta-
ton, and Secretary Day says that
their departure will not be de-
layed beyond Thursday Of this
week.
New York, May 3O.-The
Journal publishes a special dis
patch from Washington to the eff
feet that Santiago will be attacked
by land and sea, and to this end
Gen. Miles has ordered twenty
five thousand troops sent thither
immediately, with more to follow
for the complete occupation Of
Cuba.
Washington, May 31:-Every
effort is being made by the adj
ministration to get orders
to Commodore Schley to post,
pone his intended attack on
Santiago and Cervera until Ad-
miral Sampson and troops arrive.
It is feared hat in his anxiety to
capture the Spanish fleet Schley
will not wait for assistance.
Key West, May 31.-Admiral
Sampson reioined his fleet this
morning. Officers are confident
that Schley has Cervera bottled
up at Santiago. Sampson is ex-
pecting orders to cooperate with
Schley IN the attack of Santiago.
Washington, May 31:-The
President has had few visitors to-
day. The impression is growing
here that Porto Rico will be the
scene of an active campaign
at an early day. Sampson will
escort troops through the Wind
ward Passage and will also aid
Schley in his attack on Santiago.
The President is determined to oc-
cupy Porto Rico before Spain
sues for peace.
Kingston, May 31.-Commo>
dore Schley and President Nc
Kinley are in constant cable
com munication, and decisive &C.
ton on the part of the former

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Unprecedented Activity In Iron and Steel
Trade Depressing Influence Manifested
In Cereals Business Failures.

New YORK, March %. -Bradstreet's
commercial report says;
The favorable features OF the week in dis
tributive trade have been the reports coming,
with few exceptions, from oil parts OF the west
and northwest and marred only by the check to
business and shipments caused by heavy rains
and high water In the Ohio valley The unset
tied condition OF our relations with Spain Is
credited with exercising some effect upon i'm
mediate demands and upon future undertake
ngs in the eastern portion OF the country But
the two industries, cotton and wooden,
most complaining are those in which
conditions other than foreign compile
cations have for some time past
been working toward depression The coarse
cotton goods situation does not improve in any
way, and declines in print cloths to Il still
lower record quotation, rendering Increasingly
imminent action by manufacturers toward cur
failing production in this line While some
wooden goods mills have already booked good
orders, the business done as q whole has not
been up to anticipations Raw wool, however,
does not reflect the rather unsatisfactory con-
ditions In the manufactured product in lower
quotations
The condition Of the iron and steel trade Is
one which excites satisfaction and almost sur
prise From number Of widely-separated
sections the report comes of unprecedented ac-
tiyity in nearly all branches of the trade. Pig
iron Is higher at several markets, and efforts
toward harmonizing producing elements in
crude and manufactured products are being as
siduously pushed. Modern steel plants are re-
ported rushed with orders and consumers de-
mands more than keep up with the deliveries.
Western steel men are reported buying billets
in the east, while eastern shipbuders are buy
ing steel plates in the west
The passing Of the cold wave, with little or
no reported damage to the growing winter
wheat, coupled with the general forward con-
diton Of agricultural matters and the antici-
pated acreage in spring wheat is credited with
much of the depressing influence manifested
in cereals this week.
