an electrical engineer. They were taken
at Saiado. One carried a camera wore
a small five-pOinted star, and had a

When captured they threw themselves

FLYING SQUADRON LOCATED.

Charleston, S. c.

Four of the Vessels Anchor OF the Bar at
Charleston, S. C.
Charleston, S. c., May 16.-The four
vessels Of war comprising the major
portion of the flying squadron, Commo-
dore Schley, anchored off Charleston
bar. nine miles from Charleston city, at
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after
having been at sea for three days and
seen no sign of Spanish cruisers or tor
pedo boats. At sunset on the day the
squadron left Cape Henry active battle
preparations were made. Ports were
closed with steel covers, battle matches
covered, the main batteries of the ships
loaded and men sent to the guns
with instructions for a night watch to
be kept. With all lights extinguished
the squadron proceeded in a southeast
erly direction. Towards morning sew
eral heavy fog banks were run into and
during one Of these intervals the collier
S~srling became detached. When the
collier arrives all the ships will take
coal and proceed to sea again.
There were several ludicrGus Incl
dents, mostly enacted at night, and evil
IDENTIFY arising from lack of knowledge
of the nationality of cur ships. Or Sat-
ur6ay night swift merchantmen
crossed the bows of the Brooklyn. Sud
denly the big warship turned on her
side lights. Instantly every light on the
merchantmen went out and she made a
run, evidently expecting that she had
encountered the Spanish. No attempt
was made to undeceive her, and it is
expected that she will report having seen
a hostile fleet. Yesterday morning a
schooner on the horizon bearing north
towards the ships suddenly caught sight
Of the squadron, and reversing her pos
ition disappeared from view.

THE WHITE UNIONS

We are informed by Mr.. Francis D.
Whist on, who has in charge the work
of forming White Government
Unions, that the 18th of this mon N
is the day set for organizing the
Union In Forsyth county. We pre-
sumo this announcement will be sup
plemented by further action to the
same end by the County Democratic
Executive Committee.
We are entering upon a great cam
paign in which one of the most i'm
portant issues is the supremacy OF
the white race, and as there Is added
strength In organized effort it be.
hooves the white voters to get to-
gether and to work together to save
the state from further humiliation al
the hands of the traitors to their
race and their allies.
The necessity for such an organiza
ton is the more apparent when we
remember that the present unfortu-
nate condition is an outcome of q
division among the white people
So appalling Is the result of such
division, with the prospect of even
worse things if it continues, that
every lover of the Anglo-Saxon race
should be aroused to a purpose to
wipe out everything that tends to
degrade the race and fasten corrupt
government upon the people.
This matter ia In the bands of the
white people, who are In the MAORI
ty. As has been stated, our State ID
the only community in the world
with a majority of white voters
where the officers selected to admin
lister the Government are the choice
of negroes, and not of the whites
Shall this odd and humiliating fact
remain? This IL the question that
the white voters must answer, and
upon their answer hangs the veal OIL
woe of the Commonwealth.
Those that desire white govern
ment, which is best for all, are cor
daily invited to join the White Gov
eminent Union and throw their in
fiuence towards re establishing white
supremacy in North Carolina.

TRADERS.

The Middle -of-the-read Populists
set their alarm clock SO far ahead of
time that they will fall into another
nap and miss the Presidential train
after all. To hold a National Con-
vention and nominate a ticket more
than two years ahead of the election
is an unprecedented feature in poll
tics. Yet this is what the middle o.
the readers have done those that
were left after the Butler faction
bolted the Convention. Their nomi-
nees are Wharton Barker, of Penn
sylvania, tor President; Ignatius
DoInelly, of Minnesota for Vice
President.
The Convention was pretty tough
on our Marion, the chairman of the
PopulIst National Committee. They
said, among other things, that
Butler had preached disintegration
and Generalization, just as Benedict
Arnold stipulated for the scattering
of the American forces, that the
British might the more readily over
throw the young republic. MIR. But
Ter taught our forces that the first
duty of a soldier was to break ranks
| and go over to the enemy. All
efforts to chain the boundless subtle
ty OF this cunning man have been in
vain"
More than this, the Convention
went SO far as to incorporate plank
in their platform denouncing Butler.
Whether Butler is responsible for it
or not, it is apparent that the Popu.
list party is disintegrating-going to
pieces. 1t started as united party,
based upon principle, SO far as the
rank and file were concerned. Then
it split into the two factions of
fusionists and middle of-the-roaders
and now the splitters have split.
Many of It's leaders have proven
traitors to the cause which they
espoused and are ready at the drop
OF a hat to abandon any or all the
principles of the party for II piece OF
pie for themselves. This fact was
conspicuous I'm he l,lsu two elections
in North Carolina and it is now
again mt the front.
These leaders will trade with any
body. They first offered to trade
with the Democrats and failing in
this they have traded with the Re-
publicans. 1t seems to make no
difference with them If they aid In
placing in power a party that is
opposed to every principle that
served as foundation for the Popu-
list party. 1t seems to make no
difference with them If corrupt gov
eminent is perpetuated in North
Carolina and if the white race is
Inundated and negro domination
runs rampant. Provided, these
leaders may grow fat at the public
pie counter. Pie is what they are
after and principle is back number
with them.
Can these leaders longer blind the
honest men in the Populist ranks
and make of them tools for dpgrad-
ing their State?

Sick of the Pie Eaters.

Wadesboro Messenger Intelligencer.
This thing of PopuIists returning
to the Democratic party is getting to
be very monotonous-to the pie
eaters who have sold out to the
negroes. Almost every day we hear
of one or more who have returned to
the white mans party. Only yester-
day we were approached by Mr.. j. M.
Broadway, of Burnsville township,
who told US he wanted US to publish
to the world that he was no longer q
Populist, but would vote q straight
Democratic ticket in the future. Mr..
Broadway also said that he was by
no means the only former Populist In
his neighborhood who had renowned
the gang that had sold out for pie.
There are Others" he said, land
their number is steadily increasing"

In SENTINEL SUBSCRIBERS.

DMr. l.. l.. Thomas, is now on the
War path for THE SENTINEL, prepared
to exchange receipts for cash for past
due and new subscriptions and we
besneak for him a rushing business.
The subscription price of THE sENTI-
MEL is very low and the paper trust
is making US pay more for paper, ohe
fact is we must get our subscription
list closer to a cash basis. The farmer
cannot afford to sell his products OF
long credit. The paper is our product
and we cannot afford to sell it on long
time. So we urge prompt settlement
of amounts now due.

Beats Yankee Clocks.

Macon Telegraph.
One of the most ingenious as we'll
as useful contrivances ever invented
is clock with attachments that not
only awake a person at night, but
also strike a light in the room and
kindle fire. The clock is the inven-
ton of Mr.. Thomas w. Hunt, of
Macon, and is certain to become a
household necessity. If person
wants to get up at $50 O'Clock in
the morning, all that is necessary is
to get the alarm on the clock for that
hour and adjust the light and fire
attachments. Promptly at $50 the
alarm will awake the sleeper, light a
candle that is attached and kindle a
fire in the CRATE. The clock works
perfectly and Mr.. Hunt has already
sold the state right for their sale in a
number of states.

Rough on Ohio.

WilmingtO on Star,
s. Ohio Wilson seems to be doomed
to disappointment. He lays his
plans but some how or other they
seem to get twisted and tangled up,
and Ohio accordingly comes out at
the little end of the horn. Since he
has been knocked out OF the Railroad
Commission he has been figuring
around to get some other soft snap.
For some time he had been laying
his wires for the congressional nomi-
nation from the Fourth District, and
that's why he was SO red hot for
fusion with the Republicans. He got
the fusion, but he didn't get the
nomination, for the Populist conven
ton, at Raleigh, sat down on him,
and nominated a Chatham county
sheriff.
