ing and the descendants of those who
have passed away have nobly used the
opportunity to demonstrate to the
world the ardor of their patriotism and
their readiness to devote their lives
in defense of one reunited country"
The committee recommended:
The establishment of chairs of
American history in universities and
colleges.
The exclusion Of partisan, sectional
and unpatriotic works from all
schools.
The adoption of measures to secure
more reliable records Of the respective
states.
That active historians be appointed
for all divisions and camps of the
United Confederate Veterans.
That authorship in the south be en-
couraged by a more liberal patronage
Of literary productions.
The report was adopted.
General Lee then introduced a reso-
luton pledging the life and treasure Of
the c~onfederacy to a reunited country
and it was adopted in a manner which
gave no evidence of a lack of sin
cerity.
A resolution was then introduced
thanking the president of the United
States for appointing Generals Wheel
er aad Fitzhugh Lee, gallant soldiers,
to command the army OF the United
States. It was adopted with cheers.
Colonel Ellison, of Virginia, then
placed in nomination the present Off
GERS of the United Confederate Veter-
ans Association and they were elect
ed.
In acknowledging the compliment
which a been paid him, General
Gordon said:
my comrades, no words Of thanks
I could command would do justice to
the promptings of my own heart or to
your generosity: 1 do not deserve this
compliment"
Voices: yes, you do; you do; you
do"
But, by Gods help, I shall end my
days by keeping my face always in
the direction you faces have been
since 1861. (Applause). And while I
say that, I want it understood by every
man within the sound of my voice and
by the whole world as we'll, that there
beats no truer heart for this reunited
country, for the honor and glory of the
American republic, for the prosperity
and the freedom Of this liberty-loving
people, in any breast than N mine.
(Applause.)
Again, I thank you, my country
men, and pledge myself to devote to
your service, to the welfare of our
commOn country, to the enlightenment
of the youth of our land the remaining
days of my life"

Fort Worth, Texas, July 21.-The
southbound Santa Fe passenger train
due here at 1920 o'clock tonight. was
held up near Saginaw, eight miles
north. by masked men. The robbers
ordered the engine run to North Fort
WORTH, three miles from the city. The
sheriff's posse, city officials and arm
ed citizens have gone to the scene on
a yard engine. Reports reached here
that seventy-fiye shots were exchang-
ed between h robbers n officers.
Two men just brought in the en-
CINE of the held up train. The cab is
literally perforated with bullets and
covered with blood. The engineer and
fireman are both missing and are
thought to be killed. One of the Off
Gals is also said to have been killed
in the melee. The express car was
shot full of holes. The robbers failed
to get into the safe. the officers pour
ing such a hot fire into them.
Six men did the work. Two boarded
the engine at Saginaw n covered the
engineer. They made him stop in a
deep cut one and a half miles north
Of the stock yards. Superintendent
Pendel7 who was on the train. and the
crew, went forward to see what was
the matter. AS they advanced toward
the engine they were greeted with a
fusillade from the west bank. The
bullets went over their heads, but per-
forated the engine and express car.
Engineer Joe Williams is likely ia
tally wounded. The fireman cannot ba
found. but is thought to be also
wounded.
While their companions on the bank
were firing the two robbers on the en-
CINE jumped of. The whole party es-
capped. Nothing was obtained and no.
body on the train was injured excep,
those on the engine.

CARLIST
Becoming More Aggressive i'm Spain.
Preparations for a General Uprising.

London, July 21.-Despite the denial
of the Madrid correspondent Of The
Times, other special dispatches from
Madrid to the London morning pa
pers, especially such as come by way
of the frontier and elude censorship,
active. For instance, the Madrid cor
respondent of The Standard says:
'The government continues to receive
from civil and military authorities in
many provinces alarming Information
as to carlist preparations. Arms and
ammunition have been introduced by
many mountain passes into
Aragon and Catalonia, it is supposed
with the connivance of the local au-
thorities on both sides of the frontier.
The carlist agents and leaders know
that they can act with a certain
amour Of impunity, because, so long
as the pretender and his representa-
tives and newspapers in Madrid patri-
Otically disclaim all intention of dis
turbing the peace during the war with
the United States, they feel certain
that Senior Sagasta and the authOri-
ties will not dare arrest or modest car
lists. They assume that Senior SagaS
to cannot afford to affront a large Sec
ton of the people and risk civil war
when his hands are so full.
I'm some few places, however, the
military governors have suppressed the
carlist newspapers and have warned
the carlist juntas that stronger meas
ures will be taken if they persist in
agitation. The carlists in Madrid say
that the first risings will occur in west
ern, central and southern Spain, their
ancient strongholds, in order to show
the extent and power of their organiza-
ton"

Spanish Warshfps Seeking Places OF
Safety

Spanish Warships Seeking Places of
Safety
London, July PA special dispatch
from Madrid says:
Everything is lone to keep the
whereabouts of Admiral Camara's
squadron a secret, but there is no
doubt he is at Cartagena, which is the
safest and strongest port of Spain in
the Mediterranean. All the Span
ish vessels are hurrying away from
CadiZ, owing to the knowledge that
most of the guns on the forts are use
less, in of the corruption
of the government departments.
General Martinez De CamDos, in
terviewed at San Sebastian, is repre-
scented as saying that Santiago's fate
was waited at Havana and San Juan
de Porto Rico from the same cause
schortness of provisions. He advOcat-
ed peace, the struggle being unequal.
He said: The government which made
the war must make way for new men.
The latest dispatches from Captain
General Blanco represented that in
surrection in Cuba had dwindled to
insignificant proportions ~throuhout
the whole island, except in the prov
inces of Santiago de Cuba and Puerto
Principe. He said that for these sea-
sons it seemed to him inadvisable to
assume the offensive against either the
invaders or the rebels during the rainy
eason and wiser TO husband the Span
ish and to oblige the enemy
to take the risks Of the climate n
disease.
Commenting upon the American
dispatches, Ell Impartial says: All
Spaniards are delighted to see the hour
of expiration fast approaching for he
Cuban rebels. The Americans must
inevitably awaken to their worthless
ness
"Other newspapers comment upon
the dispatches in the same sense, while
the courtesy the Americans show the
Spanish prisoners has made a pro-
found impression in Spain and is ma
terially assisting the prospect Of
peace.

being so timed as to bring them with
in effective range Of the shipping at
about the same moment.

fire lasting about two and a half
hours, three Spanish transports, Ell

"The firing was maintained at a
range which is believed to be beyond
the range of the shore artillery. 1t

closing in, the shore batteries opened
fire at a comparative short range,
when the ships were recalled, the OBJ

derstood them; that is, to destroy the
enemy's shipping, but not to engage

city itself, and so far as could be OBJ

LOVE AND A HANDKERCHIEF.
\ Negro Wins Wives With a Red Silk
lBandanna.

Mr.. James III. Pou brings Il remarka-
bic story from Goldsboro, where he has
been this week, attending court.
A negro. John W. Fulton, was tried
and convicted of bigamy. and as he
had three living wives, all in court at
the same time, he was given the limit
of the law, ten years in the penitcn~
tiary
1T seems" said Mr.. Pou that this
negro had red silk handkerchief
which he always took with him when he
went counting and it appeared on evl-
dence that whenever he waved this
flaming bandanna before a woman SHE
was this meat
''Of course as soon as this became
known it created great excitement, ana
everybody Judge, jury, solicitor, law
yers, by-standers. and everybody else
were anxious to get possession of the
magic handkerchief. but Fulton refused
absolutely to part with it, and when he
comes here next week to the State 5
prison he will no doubt bring it with
him.
