The war progresses slowly. 1t could
hardly be otherwise. The Spanish fleet
has got to be caught httu:'e it can be
whipped or sunk. The sea covers con-
siderable area and the coast Of Cuba
alone stretches over many miles. There
arc always those who think ,hcy ,:now
better how things should be done than
the people charged with the doing of
them. SO there arc hundreds OF people
who know better how the war should
be conducted than those whose duty il
Is TO conduct and fight it. There are
those who are free to say that the army
should long ago have invaded Cuba.

the Spaniards from the island. That is
very easy TO say but the doing OF j.
might be little more difficult and take
Il little more time.

THE BOYSIN CAMP.

Yesterday afternoon while IN Colum-
bia we made short visit to Camp FL
lerbe and had chat with some oi our
boys.
We reached the Camp just about
supper time and while there very
hard rain and wind storm came up,
which while it did not last long, kept
us from seeing rs many of our boys as
we would have seen. During the rain
and wind we wero in Capt. Langford's
tent and were perfectly protected, just
as dry and cosy in there as in Il house.
The boys have taken down the State
tents and have been furnished U. S.
tents which are smaller, but now only
four men occupy Il tent.
They were glad to sec any one from
Newberry and they all expressed them
selves ne satisfied with their treatment
and seemed happy and contentcd.
The Camp now, has much morc the
appearance of an army cncampment
than 1t did when we were first there.
Sergt. Frank Weurn invited us to
take supper and spend the night with
them in Camp but as VIC had to rctrrn
last night we we're forced to decline
Capt. Langford was absent over ut
headquarters and we did not get to see
him. We had little chat with Lieut..
Stewart, Privates Williams, Blats and
several others and they all seemed to
be getting along very we'll
1t does seem to us that by this time
the government should be able to
furnish them with uniform, and have
them equipped Il little better than thcy
are
Several of the boys had been on the
sick list and one or two were in the
hospital yesterday but only slightly
indisposcd. The hospital arrangement
they told MS was very good.
We hope to go down again before
they leave their present cncampmcnt
so that We may see more Of them. In
the meantime VIC would he glad to have
an occasional letter from Editor Fuller
for publication.

Let's sec: We still have in the race
for Governor, Schumpert, Ellerbe,
Brunson, Watson, Archer, Tillman, we
believe that Is the list and so far VIC
have no: heard any Of them calling in
their sails. Then there are numerous
aspirants for other places on the ticket.
In fact too numerous to mention. The
var has not frightened a single ono OF
| these candidates off tho track and so
fur mono Of them have volunteered in
the army. Wo are to have Il campaign
this year and there will be no scarcity
| Of candidates.
The voters OF Newbcrry should not
| forget that we have candidates in the
race and as they are all good men and
could FL with ability the offices for
give them II unanimous vote whether
VIC agree with all the positions they
have taken or not. In fact we believe
in standing by our home mon whether
, they are in perfect harmony with our
vicws or not Ii the men are honorable
and competent and there is no question
| as to that
We have in the race certain, Schum-
pert for Governor, Mower for Attorney
General. Sligh for Railroad Commis.
siOner, one high-liccnsc man, ono q
prohibitiOnist and one u djspensury
man. We cannot favor all three of
| these things and be consistent, but
whatever may be our views on the
whiskey question We can vote for these
men and be consistent, for Ncwbcrry
must stand to her own men. They will
have nothing to do with making the
laws and will execute faithfully what
ever law the Legislature in It's wisdom
may enact.
Then, too, we do not conceive that
the liquor question is The only and all
absorbing question with which we have
to deal. There arc other matters and
We want men broad enough and liberal
enough to sec more than one thing.
There may be other candidates from
this county for other positions. If so
we arc for them too, for one of the
blanks in our platform has always been
TO stand by our own men. Sometimes
they have not stood by us but that has
never swerved us from our course unless
we had other and higher reasons.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The subcommittee from the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee charged
with arranging the dates aud places
for tho campaign meetings met the
other night in Columbia and performed
their work. The schedule is not yet
given out and will not be. as we under
stood a member of the subcommittee,
until it is endorsed by the full commit
tee. 1t is stated, however, that the
campaign will open at Orangcburg on
June 14th and close at Columbia on
August eth, aud in order to get
through by this time as many rs six
meetings arc to be held in one week.
The coast counties will bc visited
first and then those i'm tho Eastern part
Of the State and then the Piedmont sec
tion. 1t will require an iron or brass
constitution to stand this round aud
keep up with the campaign. Still we
suppose there are those who can and
will undertake it.

Washington, May 25.--The second
call for volunteers, issued by the Pres
1dcnt today, came in tho nature oi Il
genuine surprise to all except few
persons who had the straight tip yes
terday. AS said In these dispatches
last night, the President realizes that
he will probably need more than 22O,-
600 to take possession Of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands, SO he
proposes to be prepared for an emer-
gency.
various reasons are given for this
unexpected call for additional volun-
teers by those not familiar with the
circumstances, and up to the issuance
OF the call it was denied that tho Presi-
dent had any intention OF increasing
the number Of volunteers at this time.
There is II disposition to question the
motives of the President in making q
second call in view of the generally ac-
cepted statement that Admiral Schley
has the Spanish fleet bottled up in the
harbor Of Santiago. 1t is argued that
If Schley has the Spanish fleet at his
mercy there Is no need for additional
volunteers. Others insinuate that the
Administration is in possession of bad
news, which is being withheld, which
renders 1t necessary to add $4,000 vol
unteers to the already large force. BY
others it is said that the call is to
frightcn Spain, and there are a few
narrow-minded politicians who assert
that the call for additional troops is to
influence the Senate in favor of the
bond feature OF the war revenue bill
All this speculation is being iudulged
in by those who have not taken the
trouble to consult the Secretary of War
for the real reason which prompted the
President to mako another call for VOL
untccrs. Secretary Alger does not hes
itate to say that the object OF the Pres
idcnt is to have q substantial and we'll
equipped reserve force, which may be
needed should it be necessary to land
forces to occupy Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
When the first call was made Porto
Rico and the Philippines we're not
taken into consideration. The invasion
OF Cuba was the main objecs in view at
that time. Since then circumstances
have changed, and it is deemed ad-
visablc to arm and equip a reserve of
$1,000 and have them in readiness to
serve wherever they NAV be needed. |
The Secretary of War is now having
an object lesson in organizing large |
army in connection with the first call, |
and he does not care to be placed at a |
should an extraord mary |
emergency arise. That is all there is
to the second call.

Dash for Santiago to Close

On Board tho Associated Press Dis
pitch Boat Wander. o II Havana, May
%, Filed at Koy West, Fla, May 25,
6.l5 p. m.-At day break on Monday
morning tho entire squadron under
Roar Admiral Sampson was lying di.
rcctly opposite tho entrance to Havana
harbor, about ten miles OFF shore ii
formidable mouse-colored fleet of bat
tic ships, monitors, cruisers, yachts,
light house tenders and torpedo bouts.
The peaceful inactivity noticed the day
before on board the vessels of the fleet
had given way to scenes OF great life
and hustle. Around the flag ship, from
whose mainmast liuttcrcd the crimson
pennant Of precedence rocked on tho
chopDy waves u score Of launches and
gigs from the surrounding war ships,
each manned by suilors in spotlcss
white. They had brought aboard tho
lah ship the commanding officers Of
their respective vessels, where they had
apparently been summoned for orders.
half hour later the gigs and
launches left the flag ship and returned
with their officers aboard their own
vessels. Almost Immediately thick
columns OF black smoke began to pour
from the smokestacks Of the assembled
leet, and slowly the flag ship began to
move to the eastward.
a number Of vessels we're left behind
on blockade duty, the acting flag ship
flying IL blue pcnnant. About two hours
later large doublo-masted and double
fnnnclled cruiser came steaming under
full hcadway from the westward. When
within hailing distance and without
Stacking her speed she exchanged sig
nails with the acting flag ship off Ha-
vana. a string of colorcd bunting was
hoistcd aloft on the flag ships hal
yards, and the cruiser pushed on to the
cast at full speed.
Aftcrward the squadron was in tho
Nicholas channel of Cardenas, heading
for the old Bahama channel. The
squadron was proceeding with care,
for Admiral Cervcra had not yet act
ually been bottled up, and care must be
taken lest the fox turn and dash out of
Santiago around the east end of Cuba,
up through the Windward Passage,
and north to attack the cities of the
Atlantic coast of the United States.
In all likelihood Commodore S.hlcy
will be able to spring the trap, and
Rear Admira! Sampson may hasten to
Santiago. ~ great gamc is being played
and the situation is one OF extreme sus-
pensc. After Admiral Ccrvera is
sealed up in Santiago harbor the prob
lem will be, as in the case of "var-
mint" caught in trap, whether to
shoot or starrc him. In any event it !
is believed that Admiral Cervcra can
not reach Havana. Two powerful |
fleets, each having fast vessels as we'll
as heavy ones, and each able to destroy
him, ere closing in upon him. Naval
officers here believe that the battle ship
Oregon will be ordered TO join Rear
Admiral Simpsons feet.

Pennsylvania Onicer Badly Injured
In u BayOnet Charge

Chickamauga National Park, Ga,
May 25.-Thc sham battle at Chicka-
maugn Park this morning, in which
the three brigades of Gen. Wilson's lst
army corps participated, was one OF
the most thrilling military spectaclcs
witnessed since tho civil war. After
several hours Of continuous manocuv.
cring, in which was cxempliiled almost
every phase of military tactics, Gen.
Burt, commanding tho 1st brigade, was
out classed by the I'd and Sd brigades,
commanded by Gems. Compton and
Hulings, which were pit:cd against
him.
~ serious casualty occurred during
the progress of tho battle. Lieut.. Bat
toy, Of the 10th Pennsylvania, in COM
mand OF Il squad, was surrounded by
Company &, OF the 1st Ohio regiment,
and was ordered to surrender. Instead
OF snrrendering, Lieut., Battey ordered
bayonet charge. While at close
range member OF the Ohio command
shot directly at Lieut.. Battey, tho
charge striking him in the face, and in
hicting serious injury. Both eyes were
badly domaged, and tho vision may be
destroyed. Bad blood was engendered
by the incident, and the men rushed
together. 1t was only by the GOODNESS
and presence of mind of the officers
that further trouble was avoided.
The volunteer army at Chickamauga
Park now numbers 80, 5,4l4 men, and this
will be increased by 10000 by the close
