An Anecdote OF the Revolution

Senator Bate of Tennessee told me an
anecdote of Col Tom Sumter that have
never seen in print. Sumter was a great
big giant of fellow, with voice like a
fog-horn. II Is said his "holler'' could be
heard for miles. On one occasion, when he
was off on a foray, the Tories came and
captured his wife, Molly, and stripped the
plantation of everything. When "Od Tom
came home and found Molly gone, his rage
knew no bounds. Gathering together such
forces as he could, he put after the Tories
He overlook them on the third day and
hung about until midnight. Then he de-
ployed his forces around the camp and told
them to await his orders to fire. He was
afraid of Molly's being shot in the melee, SO
when he got everything ready, he opened
his big mouth and let out yell that fairly
made the earth tremble: Lay down, Mol
ly! Lay down, Molly!" and Molly, recog-
nizing those stentorian tones, fell prone
on her face. and after the last Lay down,
Molly!" came the command to fire and
charge. Molly was recaptured without
hurt.-From Senator McLaurins Fourth
Of July Address at Spartanburg, 8. c.

1.-THE suspension of constitutional liberty

at this moment what can the government
do but check the hostile campaign waged
against It? I was the first to beg the cab

do not regret my action. I will say from
my seat In parliament that am convinced
that did a service to my country.
"At the same time can give you news
which will please the press. The suspension
Of the constitution will not last long. for
several reasons. One of them Is the calm

LONDON, July 23.-The Moscow corre-
spondent of the Standard says:
1t seems that Russia has dropped the idea
of spending 9o000,O00 roubles on her navy.
Evidently the decision is a sudden one be-
cause the representative Of the Union Iron
works of San Francisco, who was sum-
moned to St. Petersburg to take orders for
ironclads, had actually arrived there when
the government changed Its mind. The
motive for the change is unknown, but 1t is
supposed to indicate that the party favor
ing an Anglo-Russian, instead OF Russo
German, entente is gaining strength.

BLANCO'S BLUSTER
HE ISSUES ANOTHER pNOCLA-
NATION IN HAVANA
Everything All Right Even Though
Santiago Il Lost and Cervera's
Fleet Destroyed

HAVANA, July 22-Captain- General
Blanco has issued the following proclafna.
ton announcing the capitulation Of San
tiago. 1t Is dated Havana, July 18th:
After three months heroic defense and
many bloody combats, owing to a scarcity
Of ammunition and victuals, the garrison
Of Santiago de Cuba has been forced to
capitulats under honorable conditions and
with the honors Of war. This occurred or
July 18th. when 1t was recognized by the
brave Spanish General Of the division, who
was acting commander of the place, that
resistance was useless, and that he could
no longer hold the place. Notwithstanding
that achievements had been possible, and
that though he should receive such from
Manxanillo. and although he should still
cover further losses and bloody combats,
and although he might put the city in a
better condition of defense, he was still
face to face with the fact that reinforce
ments would only make further nroads
on the already greatly consumed and
nearly exhausted store Of provisions Of the
Spanish garrison. The city was thus
placed in a very lamentable condition.
The situation was anticipated, but 1t
caused great depression to the Spanish
forces.
The occupation Of the city Of Santiago
by the military forces of the Americans is
lacking in strategic Importance, owing to
the fact that the city had previously been
closely blockaded for long time by the
American ships. and will have little or no
effect on the development of the Spanish
campaign which Is to decide Spains fate.
The Spanish army is intact and eager for
glory. 1t is willing to measure arms with
the Americans and in this army the King
Of Spain, the Spanish government and the
whole country places the trust of defense
at any cost, Of the integrity Of Spanish
territory and the honor of Spain's immacu-
late flag.
This army is sure to be triumphant and
victorious. At the last In spite Of so many
dangers and impediments. 1t will show
once more the indomitable spirit and we'll
known military talents of our people. Is
the hope and expectation Of our general
in-chief

Not long ago young man came into
her life, and when first she looked into
his eyes she knew she loved him
Patiently and persistently she wooed
and wooed but in vain. Hes attentions
soon became obnoxious to the young
man, and finally he was obliged TO so
inform her. Even then she would not
listen to the harsh truth. and she per-
sisted. Then she became remorseful, re-
fused to eat. and finally would not talk
TO her dearest friends. She was afflicted
with fits Of hysteria, and showed evil
dence of a deranged mind
Efforts were made to cure, but after
treatment she was still no better. The
relatives of the unfortunate girl at last
determined to send her across the seas
To her home in Europe. The tickets
were purchased and she was to start
Thursday afternoon. When she learned
of the plan she demanded a parting
hearing with her unsympathetic sweet
heart, but even this was refused her.
She became hysterlcal and the pol .ce
