The Situation.

Our feet in the East Is anXiously
watched. 1t is understood to be near
Manila, Of the Philippines, where too
the Spaniard has q powerful fleet. a
fight Is thought to be imminent. Ad-
miral Dewey is our Neptune in these
waters.
Our troops are fast concentrating at
Tampa and this is a strong indication
that q movement OF some sort Is meant
upon Cuba.
Captain Simpsons squadron invests
Havana, Matanzas and other Cuban
Ports. 1t is probable that he will
lombard and open a Port East and
North Of HAVANA and clear the way
for the landing OF a force to cooperate
with the insurgents and in this way
complete the Investment Of Havana
by land and by sea. Thus the Island
must oon capitulatc without much
blood. The whereabouts Of the Span
ish squadron recently at the Cana
ries and the De Verd Islands and its
movements are unknown. Should it
be sent West to American waters, OF
course Il battle would follow. Com.
mander SChley occupies q tactical posi-
tion at Hampton Roads with the Fly
Ing Squadron and can go to the relief
OF sampson or m%eetany demonstration
on our Northern shores.
Thus 1t will be seen that the situation
10 still simply n Of dreadful pre-
paration"--and has not materially
changed since our last issue.
There is still whispering OF inter
ference by European Powers in the in
terest of the Don, but the Eagle
smooths his feathers complacently.
Get out your map, locate the Phil
lplnes, Cuba, Canaries, Cadiz, Bar
c%elona, the Straits Of Gibraltcr, Hamp-
Roads, Key West and Tampa and you
have q fair idea Of the expected points
Of attack and defence,
May =: We have advices that a great
naval battle was fought at Manila on
Sunday morning. Our fleet arrived
there on Saturday night and next
morning engaged with the batteries
on the Forts and Spanish Navy. The
Flag Ship of the Spaniard was burned,
two cruisers sunk and several blown
up. 1t is further reported that Ma
nilla has been taken. The report
seems well authenticated that the Span
lsh hect has suffered a great disaster
with great loss of life. Details of
American loss must be awaited. Our
heet is probably not seriously hurt.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1898-05-03

Spain has the following important
outlying domain-the remains Of her
once imperial territorial proprietary:
Cuba the bone (the flesh is gomez Of
contentious; Porto Rico, a neighboring
Island, with half a million inhablt-
ants; the PHILIPPINE Islands. These
last are situated East Of Southern
China, a group OF a thousand, the
principal OF which is Luzon, the
population OF the whole about seven
millions. TNey are OF various races,
the pure Spaniards being about ten
thousand. Manila is t O capital. The
Islands are named after Philip OF
Spain, and have been governed by
that Kingdom for over three hundred
years, with an iron hand. They are in
rebellion now. Should they throw off
the dominion OF Spain they are In
capable II civilized government lac
cordlng to Western standards). At
this writing we have a feet In Phil
ipine waters, and the Spanish q fleet
OF about equal power. A collision Is
hourly expected-Manilla, the Capital
and chief port is a city OF 200, 900
very rich and beautiful, the streets as
striRht as an arrow, macadamised, with
granite side walks. In 1862 1t was
captured by thu English and the
Spaniards paid Ave millions to redeem
the rich merchandise her In the Port.
So there is something to fight for
besides Cuba.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1898-05-03
The RecOncentrados

Some concern is expressed by igno-
rant or misleading newspapers that
with Cuba blockaded the reconcentra-
DOS will fail Of supplies sent them and
that they may perish. But an order
was made that these might return to
their homes. Therefore they can fall
behind Gomez's lines. Our Govern
ment surely can keep one Port open
on the Island through which supplies
may reach them. If there is no re-
Sreat for them behind Gomez, then
the people OF this country have been
badly fooled and imposed upon. If the
reconcentrados are Spaniards and not
IN sympathy with the socalled patriots
then they take their chances with
the Dons. Surely we are not to fight
the Spaniards and support their old
men, women and children.

Cen. Garlin1tOn.

Maj. e. A. Darlington, OF the regu-
lar Army, has been made a Brigadier
n will probably be assigned to COM
mand The South Carolina troops in the
fe'L. He is the highest ranking
Southern officer in the army-a native
OF Newberry, and son OF the late Cen.
A. g. Darlington, who was reared in
this county. Maj. Darlington has had
experience in the service and in battle,
distinguishing himself, and Governor
Ellerbe did we'll to ask his promotion
and assignment to command the troops

A Side Issue.

farther thar torpedo missiles. "Cuba
llbro" shots from the Columbia
state" have converted the Charles
Ton News and Courier nea the ''bat-
Elements Of the Battery" and the little
G~reenville News at the foot OF the

what a bloody minded thing is "escarp-

1t has been reported in some Of the
papers that South Carolina Is behind
the other States in Offering services
to the United States to fight Spain -
III this statement is true the cause can
not be imputed to lack OF patriotism
or courge,for in these attributes South
Carolinians are not excelled by any
people, north, south, cast or west. The
cause hon must be looked for in an
other direction, Perhaps it is because
they have not been made to under
stand just what it is about, and posi-
bly, have convictions that it WAS alto
gether uncalled for and unjust; that it
Is a war OF the jingoes and that the
Jtngoes ought to do the fighting. II
our country was being invaded by a
foreign foe South CaroliRians would
be among the first to spring to the
front. but there appears to be a con-
seriousness deep down In their hearts
that this war might have been
avoided and the honor OF the countrv
preserved untarnished. They have
watched the process and the progress
OF it's getting up, they have watched
SPANS efforts for peace and they can
not find it in their hearts to shout
themselves hOarse or to rush headlong
in whore iingoes fear, or alone ought
to tread. If therefore South Carolina
Is backward in coming forward it does
not imply that she is lacking either in
patriotism or courage.--Edgefeld
Monitor.
All this is very we'll. In part it is
false in logic, Tho question Of con
science does not enter the matter. Tho
country has declared for war and
there ends the responsibility. If the
country is wrong the matter OF right
rests with the country.
lis certain every man that dios i'll,
the i'll is upon his own head; the King
is not to answer for it.n
We advise no one to "volunteer."-
We simply say hat it is honorable,
probably the highest duty u mar in q
life's career can be called upon to dis
charge-that OF a soldier. Every man
should Judge for himself. Only those
who have not Observation-Disclosures
environments at home-should volun-
"tecr. Those who volunteer are under
stood to do Sc to fight for the country
and whether they are called upon to
meet the sharpedgo Of battle or not,
the motive being tho same the honors
and recognition arc tho same. We
think it is too late now to inquire how
or why We have "awaked the God OF
war" and trust that this States con-
tingent Of volunteers will be promptly
forthcoming.

afoot,
Follow your spirit, and upon this
charge
Cry-God for Harry! England and
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1898-05-03

Two good square knock down fights
tho casualties reported = and the
leaders are known. The whites of the
eye tell the tale. Reorganization fol-
lows as naturally as water finds it's
level. Leaders in battle are born, like
poets, NOT made.
