fighting on the Santiago hills, the gal
lantry of Hobson and his men, Ger
vera's despairing dash to almost Ger,
tain destruction-no more sensational
or dramatic events than these could
we'll be imagined Among the many
picturesque incidents connected with
the destruction Of the Spanish feet, the
heroic work performed by Lieutenant
Commander Wainwright will long be
remembered. Wainwright was execu-
tive officer Of the Maine on that tragic
night in the herbor of Havana, and he
vas recently placed in command Of
Mr.. J, P. Morgan's yacht Oorsair, con
verted to a fighting boat and renamed
Gloucester. When Cervera's dreaded
torpedo boat destroyers came in sight
at Santiago, on July 3, the Gloucester
made for them It full speed and whip
ped them both, although the little
American boat was at the same time
under the fire of the shore batteries
and the guns Of the VIzcaya. The
elimination of Wainwright's astonish-
ing tearlessness was reached when he
actually engaged the big Spanish cruis-
er, and maintained the action until
supported by our men -ot-war. A fuller
account of his adventure may be found
in our issue of July IL, under head
Sweet Revenge" A portrait of Lieu
tenant Commander Wainwright and a
picture of his ship are contained in the
issue of Harper's Weekly for July 9

He O EXPLAIN.

The following piece of malicious
misrepresentation appeared in nearly
all, at least a great number, Of the
leading dailies throughout the country
last Thursday:
"WAsHNGToN, D. G., July 10 In
order to show the progress of recruit
ing under the second call a statement
has been prepared in the ofi3e of the
Adjutant General of the Army based
On the latest returns. 1t shows the
following enlistments:
North Carolina plumber required 784;
number enlisted 55
Virginia number required go, num-
Der enlisted 294.
Georgia number required 7O4; mum,
Der enlisted 255.
Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New
Jersey, Rhode Island, West Virginia
and Wisconsin have exceeded their
quota, but all the others are behind in
their supply of troops. The worst de-,
liz quent is North Carolina, which has
furnished only 55 soldiers to meet it's
quota of 1888"
This statement will be generally &C
copied at truth because it comes, or is
said to come, direct from Adjutant
General n. @. Corbin.
With Bagley as the first martyr to
the cause of Cuban liberty, with Blue
and Hobson of North Carolina families,
and many other Sons of the Old North
State fearing nothing when duty calls,
North Carolina has secured her share
Of military glory. Even it she has had
no sons in high positions, manhood
and bravery, as we'll as murder, will
out, will show itself, and her less hon
ored sons have proven themselves
worthy of the high positions occupied
by unworthy youngsters whose fathers
had a pull" II Corbin has attempted
to defame a State which he's thus 80
nobly done it's duty, he should be made
to suffer for il. He says:
"North Carolina-nUm6er required,
794; number enlisted, 55
The truth of the matter is North
Carolina was called upon to furnish
l 551 men under the second call, and
we understand that about 1850 have
enlisted. Corbin should be made to
explain. 1t is bad enough to Islander
one man only, but it is almost a crime
to SANDER a great State of 1 200. 900 in
heOitants.

AS TO YOUR UNCLE JARVIS.

Your uncle Thos. J. Jarvis, that ripe
old political granny who has spent
many years piouslY endeavoring to de,
ceive the people as when, with a fee in
bis pocket, or the promise Of one, as
attorney for the Coast Line, he at
tempted before a legislative committee
the role of "a disinterested friend Of
the State" until the mask was rudely
torn from him, is around making q
few speeches. In one Of these he is re
ported to have said that the defeat OF
the Democratic party in North Caro-,
lima had lowered the aspirations of
the people," The News and Observer
spun upon this statement a character
istic editorial. We were disposed to
call the truth of the statement in ques-
ton until we called to mind the names
of two Democrats in North Carolina
who recently sought, almost with tears,
official position with negro volunteers.
They both live in Jarvis corner of the
State; and one of them went to Wash
ington seeking to be me- )r of a negro
battalion. while the other asked the
Governor to make him captain Of a ne
gro company under Jim Young at
Fort Me- N.
These, we confess, were low aspira
tions. But they were Democratic.

TRE EVIL.

This paper has always been ready to
throw a ray of light upon the ravages
of the death dealing cigarette, but since
it has been stated (and no one has at,
tempted to deny i) that more than so
per cent. of the volunteers rejected be-
cause of physical disability were Gig
arctic usuers, it is harder than ever
for us to see how any man who loves his
country or his God can refuse to join
the leading scientists Of the country in
fighting this instrument of death. We
wrote Of Mr.. Dukes gift at the time
as a GLORIOUS surprise to Trinity's
friends" But since thinking of it as
money acquired by the sale of cigar
cites. we confess we have changed our
opinion.
In the Biblical Recorder of last week
VT find the following letter from Mrs.
John w. Starnes. of Ashevi!le:
"A QUESTION RAISED
"In reading the Recorder Of June Is
this headline fl 4shed across my eye:

say il there is any beauty in their

but then, her joy will be complete, But
while he was there this deadly serpent

his eyes grew dim; now his hand

ANICR ROOSTER TO BE GROWING
FOR POPULIST VOTES.

In 1892 the Democratic returning
board of Bruins wick county threw out
the entire PopulIsG vote OF the county
on the pretense that the paper on which
the ticket was printed was not white
enough for them. The Populist ticket
had about eleven hundred votes and
the Democratic ticket heG six or seven
hundred. Every man on the Populist
ticket was elected by a MT Jrity of
some four or five hundred. The re
turning gang got together and stole

If Spain ever secures another navy
she doubtless will buy submarine boats
mostly.
The latest report is that what re
mains of the Spanish navy, under AID
miral Camare. is coming to Ceuta. If
the American fl eet eve gets in range
of it Camara will never Ceuta.
1t is said that in the excite ment of
the hot Santiago fight, Gen. Wheeler
forgot that the Civil War was over
and shouted as he led his men on,
''Give it to the Yankees, boys"
The Spaniards relate that the Virgin
once granted various boons to Spain at
the prayer of Santiago, but refused the
boon of good government lest then the
angels forsake heaven and prefer Spain
to paradise.
General Garcia says he is not going
to play with General Shafter any more.
To quote the language Of ex Governor
Jarvis, the appearance Of the Ameri
can Army in Cuba must have lowered

The disease which has seized upon

that they r ex-pie ring.
Certain papers and persons have
been asserting that Governor Russell
has no friends in the Republican party.
The fattering resolutions adopted by
the Republican State Convention last
week so heartily commencing the
State administration, must have
knocked the props from under those
fellows.
-Four of the best Spanish cruisers de

machines. Our navy is qIite good,
but we can use a few more good cruis
ers, aud we hope the Spanish ships
can be saved.
The German government should
either keep its warships outside If
Manila harbor or it should furnish the
seamen with an extra supply of lie
preaervers. When Dewey notified
the German Admiral that he should be
careful and not elbow his warships to
get between the American warships
and the Spanish Notifications, the joke
was so plain that the average English
man smiled in less than two days after
he read it.
The Biblical Recorder does not often

BURBANK THEATER.--The new
management of this house has demon
strated it's ability to cater to the wants
of its patrons, If one may judge by the
overlooking state of the auditorium last
night. The attraction was "a Ken
lucky Girl" dime novel type of melo-
drama into which are crowded a series
of impossible happenings enac I'd by a
lot of impossible people who talk pages
of half incomprehensible dialogue which
is punctuated with the applause of the
admiring audience whenever the deadly
revolver is leveled or the hand to hand
struggle ensues.
The sensation scenes are a saw mill
episode, stolen from "Blue Jeans" and
an express train saved by frantic girls
rushing on the stage in the nick of
time, just as they do in several other
plays of the kind. The acting Is en-
tirely adequate to the demands of the
piece and it Is but fair to say that the
large audience appeared to be perfect
ly satisfied with the entertainment.
