community. The riots were the
spontaneous combustion of acoumu-
lated wrath. Deplorable as they are,
their causes are even more so, for
while one involves loss Of few liyes,
the other means loss of principle of
whole people and their posterity.
Having said this much on the
general subject Of the race issue, I
wish to add in conclusion word of
thanks, which is felt by the people
throughout North and South Caro-
lima, to the Washington Post for its
very able and impartial treatment
OF the subject when it assumed suoh
serious phase within recent days.
Both in the accuracy of its news pre-
sentation of facts and the fairness of
its observations upon this State of
facts, the paper attracted the atten-
tion and admiration of our people.

It's impossible to describe scene
like this. II, was big, rugged old
man, as brave as a lion, and when he
announced that he was not afraid of
"Yankee troops" as he had fought
them under Stonewall Jackson, and
was not afraid to meet them again if
sent down by President Mckinley,
declaring he would not as!. e more
glorious death than to die in defense
of the women of North Carolina, and
thus expiate some of the wrong he
had done, there was hardly a dry
oye in that large crowd. The effect
OF such an appeal was electrical, and
every man, without reference to poll
tics, there signed the paper. l heard
from reliable sources in North Caro-.
lima that since negro rule began in
the State there had been twenty
rapes of white women by negroes,
besides numerous attempts, and that
every CHG of them had occurred i'll d
county under negro government, and
not a single one in counties under
white rule. A negro newspaper in
Wilmington, N. O., attempted to
justify all such assaults by an attack
upon the virtue of the white women.
1t was an Undesirable insult, which
helped fan the spark of indignation
into flame. I heard of another in
stance characteristic of the condi-
tions prevailing. A young lady,
eighteen years of age, was walking
along the streets, and found the side.
walk blocked by ,hree negro men,
and stepped off to y ass around. One
of the men took hnld OF her person,
turned her around, and slapped her
face for "putting on airs" Hundreds
of instances of a similar character
have occurred in that State, which
have never been made known, be-
cause the white people are ashamed
to admit that such outrages were
being perpetrated.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE C1JRED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
Ihoro is only one way to oure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Easta-
chain Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumhling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
onses out of ton are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an innamed condi-
tion Of tho mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of deafness (oaused by catarrh)

IN THF CITY OF MANILA

New York, May IA dispatch TO the
Herald from Manila, via Hong Kong
says:
The American victory Cavite and the
collapse of the Spanish navy have struck
terror into Manila.
The blockade continues, but the public
is calm. It thinks that the European
powers have interviewed to prevent the
bombardment Of Manila. The country
is quiet. The natives viii not actively or
openly favor the Americans unless assur-
ed that Spanish rule is over forever for
fear Of reprisals.
The desire to break the Spanish rule
is general throughout the country and
the American invasion is popular as a
means to gaining this end.
But the native mind is only Influenced
by an exhibition of strength. They think
the blockade Is weak and that this is due
to foreign intervention. Manila can
draw supplies from the interior and hold
out for months. The troops at Manila
consist Of about 1000 regulars and 500
volunteers. The volunteers have no in
struction and their FIRE is wild and dan
gerous to the troops. The artillery has
no machine guns.
Public opinion. which first favored Ad-
miral Monteio has now changed. The
Spaniards freely criticise the defense or

that his artillery was good enough 10 DO

! but Admiral Dewey says he will not bonn

orders. He also says he hopes that a

that the Pamanga insurgents have been

formed bands Of insurgents have appear

A Wonderful Solar Engine.

At Longwood, near Boston, solar en-
CINE of ingenious construction, which has
been under construction for several
months, was given a highly-successful
test with cold water in the boiler, the for
nation of steam being almost instantly.
The gauge registered a pressure of about
So pounds in half an hour, which drove
the engine steadily, doing the work of
about two horsepower.
The engine consists of three parts-a
reflector, which concentrates the heat, a
cylinder for generating the steam and a
device for keeping the suns rays con-
stantly in focus on the cylinder. In the
machine set up at Longwood there is a
heavy iron framework, which support a
series of glass mirrors. arranged in a
semi-circular sheet % feet in diameter.
This mirror is nearly as high as it is wide,
and the framework on which it is placed
is so adjusted that it will follow the sun
in it's circuit, and may be adjusted by
hand from week to week to follow the
declinaton of the sun.
This boiler is one of the peculiar fea-
lures of the solar machine, which would
puzzle anyone unacquainted with hello
dynamics. 1t is of copper, about s inches
in diameter and as long as the curved
mirror, in the focus of which 1t is placed.
Owing to the fact that that mirror is
made I'D of innumerable facets of glass
the cylinder receives light on every part
of it's surface. cutting out any area of
shadow at the back and having the direct
sunlight in front.

The Russian Army.

The Russian army has been about
doubled since the last Turkish war. while
the general staff has been increased by
more than two-thirds. The three west
ern frontier districts, Vilnae, Kieff and
Warsaw, now have 5S4 battalions, 1896
squadrOns and 2S2 batteries. with 207O
guns, all on a war footing, or about six
seventies of all the infantry and five
sixths of all the cavalry and artillery
which Germany keeps up in time of
peace. Russia is attaching more and
more value to cavalry, and has already
twenty-one divisions, where as Germany
has only one cavalry division of the
guards in time of peace. The Germans,
however, appear to be giving up the EN-
ployment of large masses of cavalry
Except the two cavalry divisions of the
guards, which still have Cuirassiers,
Uhlans and Hussars, the Russian caval-
~ consists almost entirely of Cossacks
and Dragons, who receive an excellent
training as infantry as we'll Some of
them have even been supplied with bayo-
nets as an experiment. The Russian
frontier guard of 10000 men includes
10000 horse soldiers. Both men and
horses are excellent and admirably
trained. On the other hand, it is noted
that the Cossacks and some of the other
cavalry regiments can only ride at q
quick trot, which would entail heavy
losses in long-distance attacks on modern
artillery and infantry

AS war with Spain has broken out
the officials seem to think that all
that will be needed is warShipS, tor
