Island OF Cuba, via Key West, Fla,
April 26.-The United States torpedo
boat Foote, Lieutenant L. T. Rodgers
commanding, has the honor of being
the target for the first shots fired by
the Spaniards at the American flag
during the war just begun. The firing
occurred between and o'clock on
Saturday afternoon, while the tor pedo
boat was taking soundings in the har-
Dor of Matanzas. She was within 200
or 800 yards of the shore. Suddenly a
Spanish masked battery on the east side
of the harbor, and not very far. distant
from the Foote, fred three shots at the
torpedo boat. They all went wide of
the mark, and the Foote returned to
the Cincinnati, where she reported the
result Of her sounding and then an.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Messrs. Pettigrew and White, who are the leaders in the opposition, declare that they will never permit this measure to go through. It is not believed, however, that these gentlemen and those who follow i'm plicitily in the path for which they mark the way are altogether in earnest when they say they will stay all summer if that be necessary to defeat annexation. The summer is hot and the campaigns are com ing on. More than all this, the voice of the people will soon be heard in such tones that it is not believed the anti-annexation- ists can withstand the demands that will come before the senate for action.
 With the shackles removed from the house, annexation will go through that body with such whirl that the whole country will blaze with\ enthusiasm over it. and the resolutions will be sent to the senate with such prestige that it's friends believe no set of men there can repress the members and use the rules of that body to protract debate and stifie action.

their respective counties. These delegates meet to formally ratify the choices of the people. and to frame a platform. Neither job Is at all necessary, and will not proba- bly be repeated thereafter. The state ex- ecutive committee could just as well tabu- late and announce the vote. As a matter of fact. the papers of the state point the ticket selected last Monday in that classic place in their columns known as the mast head, and that settles 1t, although the cons vention does not meet until the last week of the present month.
 So far as a platform is concerned. IRne is needed. Acts are better than words. Platform promises are rarely kept. Let a party stand or fall. as it does in Eng land or in any other country that has party government by the acts and records of its officials and especially of it's members of the legislature. If need be, the democratic members of the legislature could put out a platform This would be return to the early practice of the country-to the meth ods of the pre-convention and purer days of the republic.

The Charity Hospital.

Many prominent citizens met at St. Paul's hall last evening to inaugurate a move- mont to build a. charity hospital in Bir- mingham. The responses to the call for a fund were liberal and SLIPS and a car of lumber were donated.
 There is nothing Birmingham is more in need of than charity hospital. As it is now, the city is without a hospital. There is no place in which the sick among the poor generally can get attention. Birmlng- ham has been far behind other southern cities In this respect. Its citizens have been derelict Every citizen of Birmingham should aid in this grand and charitable work.
 The good Sisters of Charity have already generously contributed $9OOOo to the fund, and only s6,O00 Is asked of the citizens of Birmingham. II is a small sum and should be subscribed within a few days Every citizen should do his duty and subscribe what he can afford. Subscriptions will be received at Steiners Bank.

The War Revenue Measure

The war revenue measure which has been adopted by congress is apparently, upon its face, a hardship upon many business interests. It is burdensome upon the luxurles of life and upon the banks. Yet this is but a temporary tax. It will be effective but for brief period. While 1t is burdensome as long as it lasts its period of life will be short and the people should accept it with the best grace possible.
 Wars are expensive. The people of a country must bear these expenses. Every cent of the expenditures come from the pockets of the people. This Is a war brought on by the people upon humani- tarian grounds. While no two parties or men would levy war taxes alike yet cer- tain amount of money must be raised, and while The Age-Herald does not endorse the measure, but condemns many of it's fea- tu es, 1t cannot now be changed and for the present we should accept with grace the burdens put upon us temporarily by the political party in power.

The McHenry Outbreak.

McHenry is a little town in Harrison county, Mississippi It may contain fifty people. It has three stores. Its industry is the saving of pine lumber, Harrison county being in the pine belt. The land is sandy, and the pire forests are all1ost as broad as ths country itse.f The one railroad extends fir nm cul:port, on the Louisville and Nashville main line be- tween Mobile and New Orleans to Hatties- burg on the Northeastern railroad. Me Henry is about twenty miles from Gulf port, and about midway of Mobile and New Orleans-about seventy miles from either. It is beyond doubt slovenly little town, in which wells are never cleaned, stagnant pools never drained, and filth never re- moved. Such towns near the gulf take and retain the fever and other diseases without any effort whatever-the natural punish ment of slovenly habits and customs.
 There is little need of hunting for 8 germ or starter McHenry was severely af- flcted last year with the fever, worse per haps in proportion to population than any other town except Edwards which is in the cotton country between Jackson and Vicksburg. The outbreak of the present year comes over from last year. beyond doubt, and is due. of course, to the sloven- place, and of the state authorities of Mississippi in the second place. The blame rests equally on both.
 But there is one point in favor of sup pression this year that did not exist last year. At Ocean Springs the disease was counted malarial fever-"the prevailing fe- occurred In MeHenry there will be no such trifling with danger-no attempt to disguise the nature of the disease, and if the Mississippi authorities do not deal wig orously with the trouble-if they do not stamp it out at once and fnally-the gov ernment may step in under its war powers. A military dictator in Mississippi is better than reign of Yellow Jack. Mississippi will, it may be, have to take the one if she does not at once crush out the other.
 The situation calls for cleanliness in every part of Alabama. Sanitation should be carried beyond all precedent. Wells, vaults, stables, alleys, streets, deposits of filth anywhere, and above all else, stag nant water, should have thorough and quick treatment. Birmingham should be made clean from hill to hill, and also on the hills Every man should constitute himself an inspector-first of his own prem ises, and next of every piece of public prop erty in the city Turn the entire city into a sanitary squad, and so it should be in every town in the state, big or little.

THE sOUTH's OPPORTUNITY.

From the Florence Herald.
 The close of the war with Spain, which cannot be many months off, will mark an era of development in the south greater. probably, than any section of this country has ever before known. This Is the belief of many well-informed men, who are ob- serving with satisfaction and interest the growing friendliness of the north, aug mented greatly by the south's patriotism n the present struggle. Millions of dollars now lying idle in the northern and English banks will be turned loose for investment Immediately when peace is declared. In- vestments in the south will be sought. Where the greatest opportunity lies, the greatest amount of capital will go No longer does the north imagine that the south is inclined to disloyalty. No longer will capital be kept from the south on that account The south should be ready for the influx of capital and emigrants that WI surely come when the war is ended. A welcome, genuine and generous, Ghould be, and will be, extended to the good peo- ple who desire to make their homes with us. Security to life and property is no greater anywhere than in the south. Rich- CT fields for investments are not to be found in any section or any country. The souths opportunity Is near at hand. May we grasp and hold 1t.
