Gently published-which is in fact, now
going the rounds of the press--was a
gratutious insult to those who believed
upon the financial question as he believ-
ed. This statements shows" said he,
that many Of those who attempt to deal
with this question have no proper COM
prehension of it. They regard it as
merely a local matter to be- considered
and discussed from the standpoint of
their own selfish or local interests"
Mr. Teller then read from a newspa-
per the article of which he complained.
In brief, it charged that the recent re-
ports to the effect that the Secretary Of
the Treasury had rendered his resigna-
tion were the result of a conspiracy to
create trouble between the President
and his Secretary of the Treasury and
perhaps to-, disrupt the cabinet.
II resent this charge" said Mr.. Teller,
with great emphasis 81 do not believe
that it comes from the Secretary of the
Treasury of that he believes any such
thing. We-these who believe on the
financial questions as do--differ from
the Secretary of the Treasury and the

now in power in this country

Glenn Wins Out-The Kinston Post
office.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 7.-(Special.)
Assistant Attorney General Boyd wins
out. To-day the papers in the case of
Tyre Glenn, Judge BOyd's candidate
for the Greensboro postoffice, were sent
to the White House recommending the
appointment of Glenn, which it is said
tonight, will be announced Monday.
When it comes to distributing North
Carolina patronage Judge Boyd has
something to say.
Representative White has recommend
ed York Whitehead for postmaster of
Aurillia Springs. The Kinston post
office will be settled in few days.
Representative White has telegraphed
Hargett, colored. and Mr.. Hunter,
whose wife is the opposing candidate,
to come to Washington and adjust the
matter with the Postmaster General.
Congressman White wants the appoint
ment made and he is of the opinion
that If the contending applicants come
together an early agreement can be eff
fected. While White has urged Har-
gett's appointment, it is believed Mrs.
will get the office, as she is said
to have the endorsement of Senator
Pritchard.
There is no truth in the story that
Skinner and Senator But
Ter have kissed and buried the hatchet,
for Mr. Skinner said to-day that he had
not spoken to Mr.. Butler since last
January.

SAILED TO MEET THE FlOTILLA
OBJECT OF THE SPANISH VIZ
CAYA AND oQUENDo.
Followed Out to Sea By the New York
Worlds Yacht-Both Ships Head
ed For Porto Rico.

New York, April 2.-The Evening
World prints a copyrighted dispatch,
dated April 1, on board the Worlds dis
patch boat Triton, via Key West, which
says:
The Spanish warships Vizcaya and
Oquendo no longer, like big watchdogs,
lie across Havana harbor. They are
on their way to Porto Rico. The
Worlds dispatch boat followed them
until this was made certain.
They left their moorings at 3 o'clock
this afternoon and started eastward
along the north coast of Cuba. For
days both of the big Spanish cruisers
have been ready to sail at an hours
notice. Their coal bunkers were filled
almost two weeks ago. Late last night
a package of sealed orders were sent
out to the two warships from the Of
flee of the Almirante on La Michina
wharf. Early this morning prepara-
tons for their departure were begun.
Boat after boat, loaded down to the
gunwales with provisions of every kim.
started out from Havana wharves to
the ViZcaya and OquendO.

several miles out at sea-
a correspondent was pur on board
the Triton. with orders to follow the
cruisers. The correspondent narrative
continues:
"As soon as the two ships reached
the open gulf they turned to the west
ward and ran three or four miles DOWN
the coast ia that direction. After they
had reached a point on the C0dS- about
five miles westward of Havana. they
turned completely around and headed
for eastward. The watchers on the
Triton were astonished. Go III it be
that the Vizcaya and .tquendo haC
changed their plans and We're retirn-
ing TO Havana? Under Il speed of
about II knots an hour they passed
Moro for the second time. the Eizcaya
leading the Oquendo by half a mile.
Down the coast to the ea itward Of
Havana the two men-of-war passed in
procession. AZ a distance q Sc, on
miles from land the Triton pdrall. led
their course. sailing at about the same
rate of speed. AS the sun dropped
down below the horizon, the Vizcaya
and Oquendo became lost to view in
the shadow of the long green hills If
the shore.
The two ships had increased their
speed a little by this time, and were
jogging along at about Is knots. They
kept well within the five-mile limit
Most of the time they were not more
than mile from shore. Soon the Tri-
ton followed the Nizcaya and Oquendo
until they rounded Point Guanos
Point Guanos is rs miles to the east
ward of Havana. Had either of the
two men-of-war had any idea of going
to United States ports they certainly
would have turned north at Point
but they did not. At a speed
of 16 knots an hour they kept on the
eastward The course that they fol-
lowed is the one indicated on charts |
as being the most direct route to Porto |
Rico"

fast and staunch.
The Creole is the first of the mer-
chant vessels to be pressed into the
service. She was built at Newport
News a year ago and is practically
new. Her displacement is over 5000
tons, and, with 3,500-horse power, she
can make Il knots continuously. AS
soon as she can discharge her cargo at
New York, for which a day is allowed,
she will go to Newport News, where
preparations have already been made
to receive her and to work on her night
and day until she is ready to follow
Commodore Schley's flying squadron.
It is expected that her changes can be
made in less than a week, if necessary,
the most essential notifications being
the removal of state rooms, the cutting
of larger ports in her sides, and the in
PRODUCTION of a 9.000-gallon fresh water
tank. Three hundred cots and all the
requisite appliances to convert the YES
sci into a hospital ship have already
been ordered, and will be quickly put
on board. A force of 90 surgeons, in
addition to the commanding. executive
and navigating officers, with a small
crew and nurses and apothecaries, will
the vessels complement. She
will fly the red cross on a white ground
at the main, and her mission of mercy
will be for friend and foe alike-that
is, if an enemy of the United States
accepts her good offices. She will stay
with the American squadron until an
engagement occurs, when she Will
hover out of gunshot until hostilities
cease. After a battle she will stand
by to take off the wounded. For this
purpose four steam launches will be
provided to tow four large barges, each
y cots, in which the wounded
can be swung aboard the Creole and
wheeled TO the operating room, and
thence to the hospital compartments.

The makers of Pride of Japan tree tea)
have advertised that Thos. Price, ANALYTICAL
chemist of San Francisco, and Prof. I. T.
Kingsbury of the University of Utah, have
given them certificates that the above brand
of tea is perfectly pure.
The deduction drawn from this analysis is,
that the Pride of Japan tea which you buy in
the stores is perfectly pure.
While it is quite possible to buy pure tea
Qike SchizlIng's Best) and pack it in Pride of
Japan packages, and submit it to chemists for
analysis; still we assert that the Pride of Jap;
tea sold in this market is artihcially colored
with coloring matter.
We don't know how these endorsements
were secured; but it is pity that the names
of such eminent authorities should be used to
back up statements made in the advertisements
of Pride of Japan.
Schilling's Best tea is not only guaranteed
pure, but it is such tea as you would drink
yourself if you knew all about it.
Besides it is money back, and that is backing

ADVERSE BRITISH OPINION.
Sympathy For Spain Manifested By
Conservative Journals.

London, April I'm contrast to the
other morning papers in their COM
ments on the Spanish American crisis
there are evidences of sympathy for
Spain in Conservative circles.
The Globe Conservative shows de-
cided anti-American bias. 1t raises
warning voice concerning the possibil-
ity of interference by the United States
elsewhere if the action regarding Cuba
is permitted without protest.
The st. James Gazette (aiso Conser-
vative) comments in the same spirit,
expressing doubt as to the issue of a
conflict. Referring to the Madrid Opera
House incident it says:
when it comes to dramatic displays
or emotion, real or feigned, the United
States can give a good many points to
Spain, as the Cuban case has shown
over and over again" But ii winds up
with a general argument in favor of
American intervention.
The afternoon papers deplore war be-
tween Spain and the United States, but
declare that ii is inevitable unless Il
third nation succeeds in patching up an
eleventh hour peace.
Some of the papers deride the Madrid
demands.
The Westminster Gazette refers to it
as a sort of international Nellie Far
