men, with pack trains and droveS
of animals, were advancing from
Manzanillo, and were "a miles from
Santiago. 1t has been known
through reports from Lieut.. Joyce
made to Gen. Miles, that the Span
iards have 10000 men at Manzanillo
and 10000 at Holguin, and every
precaution has been taken to guard
against their advance from either
quarter. The official report to-day
showed that 5000 of those at Man
Zanillo had covered half the dis
lance to Santiago, and it is the be-
lief of military officials here that
Gen. Pando is making a similar
advance with his 10000 men from
Holguin. These advances, now
practically unopposed, are regarded
as one Of the most serious phases of
the situation. There is the further
element to which the military au-
thorities are giving careful atten-
ton, that one man intrenched be-
hind earthworks or in rifle pits is
worth three men in the open. 1t is
said that the battles Of Chancellors-
Vile and Spottsylvania afforded the
most direct proof on this point
1t was announced at the War
Department by these reports 1900
soldiers should be leaving Tampa
to-day to join Shafter. They will
be three or four days on the voy-
age, and it is probable that it is
this force that Gen. Shafter refers
to as likely to arrive too late for
this action.
The Navy Department to-day
gave out a message from Admiral
Dewey which was brought to Hong
Kong by the McCulloch so that it
must have left Cavite on the 23d.
The Admiral made no reference to
the landing of German marines.
and the officials here are satisfied
that Germany is acting In good
faith and according to the rules Of
neutrality.
The report that the Egyptian
government had finally refused
coal to Camara's fleet at Port Said,
has not yet been officially con-
firmed, but its accuracy is not
questioned There is still some
doubt whether this refusal in itself
will operate to prevent the further
movement of the Spanish squadron
toward the Philippines, as Madrid
advices allege a purpose on the
part of the Spanish government to
send additional golfers with the
expedition to overcome the re-
fusal of the various ports along
the way to the Philippines to sup
ply coal. There is a strong i'm
preston, however, that the Span
ish government will avail itself Of
the pretext afforded by this refusal
to turn the fleet back to Spain.

If this war with Spain has proven one thing more clearly than another it is that our navy department is in the hands of men of far greater abil. ity and foresight than is the army. What might have been the result if our navai officials had been as be. hind hand and unprepared as was the army, we shudder to think. Be- fore the war began, for months the naval department had agents in all parts of the world buying all the available supply of guns aud muni. tions of war, So that when war was actually upon us, the navy was fully up to the best attainable condition and all the glorious deeds of the war have been achieved by our navy alone.

We are reliably informed that certain Mccoy partisans made an industrious effort to get the Repub. lican county convention to nomi- nate a candidate for Sheriff and also other candidates for county offices, in opposition to regular Democratic nominees. On the other hand, the supporters of MT. Bell insisted that no undisputed democratic nominee should have any opposition, Thus it will be seen that certain Mccoy partisans were willing to jeopardize other members on 'the ticket in or, der to accomplish McCoy's election, while Mr, Bells supporters insisted that no Democrat whose n domination was unquestioned, should be antag- onized. From t4is it can be seen who are 'IcYal" Democrats and who are not.

MT. Bell's IndOrsement.

The indorsement of Mayor Bells candidacy for Sheriff by the Re publican County Conven 5ion Thurs day thoroughly clarifies the politi- cal atmosphere. It means that the next Sheriff of Jefferson county will be a Democrat. It puts forever at rest any fear on the part of timid Democrats as to the next Sheriff of Jefferson county being a Republican. The issue is now clearly defined: Shall it be Bell or Mccoy? There is no danger from the Republicans. Thanks to the influence of Mir. Bells Democratic and Republican friends, no oppo- sition was offered to any regularly and legally nominated Democratic candidate. This, however, was ac- complished over the industrious eff orts of certain Mccoy partisans to get the Republican convention to put out a county ticket in whole or in part. As it now stands, the Democratic county ticket is in no danger of defeat; only Mccoy is in danger, and he is opposed by equally as good f not a better Democrat, assuring Democratic supremacy in all county affairs. The Democratic party is therefore in no danger; Democratic supremacy is as fully es abolished now as ever-.ln fact tbe Democratic party IS saved from disunion and perhaps fatal defeat, for if the methods adopted by Me Coy and his followers were permitted to go unrebuked, it would only be question of a very short time un- til the party fell upon breakers and met with disaster.
 The indorsement of Mir. Bells candidacy by the Republicans, to gether with the votes of the signers to his petition, and others, including in the aggregate at least one half of the Democratic voting strength of the county, assures Mayor Bell of Q triumphant election and an over- whelming victory.

D. .U. Bell for Sheriff.

The Daily GRAPHIC published yesterday the cali made upon Mayor D. Q. Bell to make the race for sheriff as an Independent Demo- cratic candidate against H. A. Mo. Coy, the alleged but fraudulent nominee, and Mayor Bells accept ance of the call. Altogether there are nearly 1000 names of Democrats on the petitions calling on Mayor Bell to make the race. If there was ever any doubt about McCoy's being the choice of the Democrats of the county for sheriff there can be none now, for there are more Democratic names op MT. Bells pe- titions than there were voters for Mccoy in either the first or the last primary. In view of the num- Der of signatures, it is impossible for the GRAPHIC to publish the en- tire list of names, therefore suf11ce it to say that the signers are Demo crats and are representative citizens who are intensely and indignantly in earnest and will reinforce their signatures with ballots at the bal lot box in September.
 The movement is one of protest against the methods resorted to by

A Campaign Address.

The address of an alleged cam paign committee which appeared in the Commercial of yesterday and signed by c. H.. Triplett, W. H. Langford, Alex Strauss and ", l.. Dewoody, is indeed refreshing as well as amusing to the Democracy of this county.
 The address calls upon the Dem ocrats not to bolt Mai. Mccoy, but to stand by him as the nominee of the party. Wonderfully strange things are coming to pass in these days. Two years have not gone by since MT. Dewoody bolted the Demo cratic party and refused to support the Democratic nominee for Presi- dent and it's platform of principles, on a mere issue of finance and not Q charge of corruption and frauds, and it is said that Mr. Strauss did the same. Mir. Langford, we are in formed, stood by the nomination and the platform and endorsed it's principles. So at least two of these gentlemen stand before the people as "bolters. " advising as they say ''bolters" not to bolt. If, however, a Democrat never bolts better nominee than Mccoy we fear that he will fail to become distinguished as a bolter. Surely MT. Dewoody failed to read the,address before his signature was obtained, because it makes him say in speak lng with reference to the wrongful nomination of Mccoy, this: "The charge comes from the defeated candidate and a relative who happens to run d newspaper" Ecce Homo Has he forgotten how he raved when a few weeks ago the ''McCoyites" were seeking to deprive his brother-;n-law, Mir. W, B. Sorrells, cf his nomination, and who compelled him to run race over he had already won, but who now they have taken into their fond embrace? No, Mir. Dewoody has not forgotten this and never will, but be has become quoted and is now ia line
 As to Mr. Alex Strauss he will not be allowed to vote for Mr. Mccoy or anyone else until he produces cer- tifcate showing himself naturaliz- ed American citizen, we are in- formed.
 To Mr. Langtord and other Demo- crats we wish to say that the cleo tion of D. c. Bell to the office of Sheriff and the defeat of Mai. Mccoy

Mccoy and.his partis2hs t5 accor1- plish his'nofnination, and has been instituted to redeem the party from the odium cast upon-it.by.a'gang of merciless and selfish political office holders who manifest thelr appreci' ation of the generosity of the peo- pie by seeking ttolbecome the self appointed masters of the people in order to further feed and fasten themselves on the body polite.
 But the people have called a halt to the merciless greed and unsatis- fled selfshness of this band of po- litical brigands. The people re- pudiated this gang at the polls in two primary elections, but through the instrumentality of partisan and proxied committee, temporarily succeeded in thwartlng and setting aside the will of the people.
 But in this county the people are supreme, and while their will may be disobeyed and their party tenn porariIy placed in sack cloth and ashes from keen sense of shame, the people-esteeming their right and honor-will in the end be tri- umphant and visit their merciless vengeance upon those who would seek to become their masters.
 The spontaniety with which th { Democrats signed the petitions calling on Mayor Bell to make the race for sheriff as protest against the methods of the McCoyites in the late campaign, shows unmis- takably that they have Q nigh ap. preciatlon of principle ia polit ics and hold tbe honor of their party in higher esteem than the mere get ting of office.
 The call upon Mayor Bell is one that he could not refuse, for no citizen could withstand so strong an appeal from his fellow countrymen, who feel previously wronged an6 abused and only seek an oppor- tunity to express their sentiments. Mayor Bell is man strong in the affections of the people, has will and determination of his own, can neither be hood winked nor bull dozed, and has the courage to dare to do right for rights sake. He has well earned the high esteem iu which he IS held by his fellow citi. lens, and has never. betrayed them, He has made a most capable and honest mayor of the city of Pine Bluff and will give the people a most fearless and efficient admins tration of the Sheriff's cffice.
