When an incident like the following &C.

carry weight with our readers. So many
strange occurrences are going the rounds
of the press, are published as facts, when
the intelligent reader knows they can
not be true there is no wonder that people

to the actual personal utterances regard

North Carolina was asked. as Alabama was. to raise 2.5Oo troops under the first call. She got together two white regiments. and then she began to enlist battalion of eolored troops. and now that second cali has been issued. she proposes to swell the battalion to a regiment. But Cover nor Russell has made James H. Young a young eolored politician. colonel of the pro- posed regiment, and he proposes to select all It's officers from the negro population of the state.
 If the two regiments-the one from North Carolina and the one from Alabama-shouid enter the service, and be thrown together, it would soon be seen which Is the better plan. The chances largely are that the Alabama regiment would fare better in every respect. would accomplish more would turn out better soldiers. and would return home with fuller ranks. There can be no doubt that the negroes who nave capable white officers will get along bet ter in white mans army than regiment led by negro officers.

Let's achip these stragglers o'er the seas again. RICHARD III.
Maximum or Minimum.
seas again.

The government will not promote enlist ments if 1t attempts to fill existing regi- ments to the maximum of 1o6 men in each company. This would call for about 500 men in the First and Second regiments of Alabama volunteers. The task would be beyond the scope of voluntary action in the state. The First Alabama will probably be. within week. at some distant post within the tropics; and If the government officials, who are very comfortable in their Washington offices, think men will vol untarily enlist to go at once to a hotter sun than shines at their homes, they are much mistaken. The mistake made in the first instance cannot now be rectihed. The First could have been raised to the maxi mum number if the government had in- sisted upon that number at the outset, but it cannot be done now. Governor Bushnell, of Ohio, says "it is unfair to be asked to recruit troops for regiments now out" and Governor Mount, of Indiana, says he is not in favor of the plan of the war depart ment. Other governors express similar views, and 1t may safely be assumed that the plan comes too late to admit of exe- cution.
 If the war department prefers large regi- ments, they can be formed under the sec- ond call; and even that would not fit Ala bama's case very well. As things stand, Alabama could fill both calls by enlisting white regiment and black regiment. Just about 2.0OO men will be needed under the two calls when the Second regiment is mustered in; and if it could be arranged with the war department to let this need take the form of white regiment and a black regiment, each of minimum strength, there would be little difficulty in filling the states quota under both calls.
 A change. however, to maximum com panies would disarrange this programme, and make the task very hard one The preference of the war department should bend to the circumstances of the case. It would be discreditable to the government, as well as to the particular state, if com pulsory means had to be employed, and no such resort would be necessary if the government would yield its desire for regf- ments of maximum strength It would indeed increase the hazard to health to send new recruits direct to regiments in Cuba, or Porto Rico or the Philippines, of the year remarkably healthy or invit- ing. The Age-Herald hopes to hear that the desire of the war department in this respect has been waived, and that enlist ments under the second call can be secured on the basis of enlistments under the call for one hundred and twenty-five thousand saen.

The Sanfiaqo Problem.

How to capture Cervera. now that he Is trapped, is a very considerable problem. The channel is narrow and tortuous, with frowning hills on either side The fortifica- tions and the guns in them are not perhaps very formidable, but the great hills that nature has placed at the entrance of the harbor, and tie shallow water between rem der attack upon Cervera's fleet very dif- ficult. If the battleships cannot enter the harbor-the Iowa, the Texas and the Massa- chusetts-captain Schley will be reduced to his cruisers. so. far as close conflict with the Spanish cruisers is concerned. The Brooklyn and the other vessels of its class are equal to the task if they could meet the Spanish cruisers under even circum- stances, but if they must go In single file, exposed to plunging fire from the land batteries, then Indeed the question of att tack becomes a serious one. The American cruisers may enter the fight seriously crip- pled. Their protective decks are only three inches thick
 
 necessary-in fact. such a force would ac- complish desirable results beyond the saving of Schley's vessels from serious damage The capture of Santiago. the second city in Cuba, would take from Spain the entire eastern half of Cuba; for the insurgents hold all the eastern half of the island ex- cept Santiago. About 4.000 Spaniards would become prisoners. and the army of Calixto Garcia would be rendered available for operations against Havana.
 But the chief reason for the landing of a military force strong enough to take Sam tiago Is the securing of Cerveras fleet un- injured It Is supposed to include not only the Cape Verde ships. but also the Reina Mercedes and ten or twelve of the largest gunboats employed in Cuban waters.

THE PHILIPPINES

To the Editor of the New York Times:
 I have your circurlar of the 18th inst. re- questing an article from me on the question of the Philippine Islands and their reten- tion by the United States. I am just now very fully engaged in looking after pressing state matters. otherwise I would be glad to oblige you.
 Briefly speaking, it seems to me that the first problem is whether we shall ever ac- qulre the islands. Like cooking the hare, 1t is well first to catch it. I am now much Inclined to depart from the traditional pol icy of our country. That step would lead to many complications. so many that look upon it with apprehension. I, however, think that we must find wider markets for our products. but I doubt whether this would be the wisest step In that direction.

CoIored Troops in War.

The colored people could stand the heat of the Cuban climate quite as well as the white people; and as many of the insurg- ents for whose freedom this war is par tially waged are of their own race and blood, there is no reason why the negroes should not be permitted to do their share of the fighting and marching and other work that is the lot of the soldier in war times. Enlstments should be drawn alike from all classes of community. White and the lowly. should alike respond when the country calls for troops.
 The negro is responding as readily and as patriotically as the white man in Ala bama and in several other states In this state a battalion of colored troops is in process of formation under white officers, and it may be that this battalion will, on account of the second call, grow into a regiment Every indication thus far of the intentions and desires of the colored volun- teers leads the observer to think that a regiment of Alabama negroes can be readi- ly enlisted: and it is believed, too, that capable and efficient white men can be found who will carefully and conscientious ly teach them soldery, and sklllfully lead thcm in battle. The experiment in Ala bama promises to be abundantly successful. and the regiment may demonstrate, not only the negro's patriotism, but his capaci- ty. under proper training and leadership. for excellent service. in the field
 In North Carolina different course is to be pursued. Governor Russell is republ,- can who was elected by combination of populists and republicans, and who there fore considers himself free lance in gen. eraI. He Is cratic and hard-hcoded.
