At half past one O'Clock last night
Governor Russell was quietly dreaming
away in bliSsful ignorance of Robert
Hanc0cks open letter. 1t took five pulls
of the bell by News and Observer re-
porter to awaken him from these bliss
ful dreams, and when he came down into
the hall in response to Il request given
through Mr.. Alexander, the pri-
ally little out of hum0r, but when APP
prised of the object of the reporters visit
his countenance changed and be became
in n moment all attentive. He listened
ill-cOncealed pajamas to the reading
of HancGck's charges. When the read
ing was over. he was StGically quiet for
a moment, then he said: You can say
for me that never said anything TO
Hancock about assaulting Daniels or
anybody else. He studied few minutes,
and added. Tell Robert Hancock that
he is a liar"
The Governors attention was then
ca1lSd to Hancock's declaration that he
could prove his assertion, when he re-
piled, Il have never made such pr0po-
sition to anybody. and don't care who
says l did"
1t was then suggested that suppose
Hancock brings out the names of those
by whom he proposes TO prove the asSer-
tion? He hasn't got any names.
don't know of any he can give and
whats more. don't care"
Referring to thc position OF the North
bern Journal in regard TO this matter.
the Governor requested that his cGmpli-
ments DE sent to Editor Stevens in the
following language:
You may say for me that tnat fellow
Stevens is a carpct-bagsd scoundrel."
With In $. the Governor being in
better humOr with the reporter than
when he was first awakened by him.
thanked the reporter for calling his at
tention to the matter, and as he went

The miners of Salina and other tellur.
ium camps are jubilant and deservedly
50 over the strike in the Ingram report
ed IN Saturdays Camera. Although the
strike itself is of considerable value to
the Ingram management, this value is
overshadowed by the fact of the loca-
ton of the find, proving for the second
time in the county that tellurium can be
found at great depth. The upper work
ings of the mine have been worked out
for some time and the sinking of the
shaft which has been continued through
barren rock was prosecuted at variance
with an accepted theory that tellurium is
not found at great depths. The disprov.
ing of this theory will be of'vast import.

THAT SPANISH VICTORY.

Mexico is Regaled With Fresh Type
writer Stnry.
The following from Ell Reproduction, a
Mexican paper printed in Orizaba, Vera
Cruz, is interesting in connection with
later developments:
IMPORTANT TELEGRAMS.
Mexico, May 2, I8o8-Sr. D. Tomas
Mazon, Orizaba: Terrible engagement
sluadrous at Philippines. We lost two
wooden vessels. Americans defeated,
retiring with great losses.
ANTONIO BASAGoITI.
Another telegram confirms this notice,
and adds:
Spanish squadron victorious, losing
two wooden vessels. Americans lost
FIVE fine steel vessels.
The cable brings the information that
on Sunday at few minutes past o'clock
in the morning the Spanish squadron at
the Philippines was attacked by the
Yankee squadron, terrible engagement
ensuing in Manila bay.
So soon as two Spanish torpedo boats
sighted the enemy, they opened fire on
them, being followed by the other vessels
mentioned elsewhere.
From the very beginning the Yankees
were impo.ent to resist the attack of the
Spaniards, Notwithstanding that the six
American cruisers vomited torrents Of
fame.
Finally the Spanish squadron, aided
by the fort of Manila, which threw
thousands of projec,iles, succeeded in
forcing back the Yankees and putting
them to flight, the Juan de Austria beng
damaged and another Spanish vessel
burned.
The American squadron was forced to
Withdraw from Philippine waters after
having suffered serious damage and
losses.
A short time afterward second en-
counter took place, IN which the Ameri.
can ships again suffered considerable
damage and terrible losses.
During this second engagement the
forts at Cavite opened a much fiercer
fire on the American ships than during
the first battle.
Admiral Bermejo, minister of marine,
has expressed the great satisfaction he
experienced at the heroism of the Span
ish sailors, and has sent congratulatory
telegrams to the Spanish vessels.

Hardy LIE ture.

The stereopticon lecture and enter
tainment at the Presbyterian:church last
Friday evening deserves special men
ton on account of its high artistic quali-
ties. The scenes thrown on the Canvas
were exceptionally fine, not only because
of the beauty of the scenes themselves,
but because most of the slides were col
ored, and that in very natural and ar.
tistic manner. Special mention should
be made of the two glacier scenes in
Switzerland, and of the Venetian scenes.
The twenty.four. great pictures last ex.
hibited were remarkable from the fact
that the coloring was done directly from
the pictures themselves, so that looking
at these slides was almost as good as a
study of the great pictures themselves.
Among others might be mentioned "The
Slstine Madonna" "The Last Supper" "
"Christ in the Temple" "The Descent
from the Cross" and "The ,Magdalen. -
The lantern was that used by DR..
Bracket at the university and the eiec.
trio lights proved to be far superior to
the lights ordinarily used in stereopti-
cons.
A pleasant variation of the program
was the reading and Delsarte drill by
Miss Mary Westrup Pierce of the North
western college of oratory at Chicago.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon this young woman's forclble des.
cription of one of the critical points of
Napoleon's career. Miss Pearce's thor.
ough control Of voice and gesture showed
her to be master of oratory. The Del
sarte numbers were rendered with that
exquisite grace of attitude attained only
through patient training and great nat
ural talent The attitudes illustrating
Thomas Moore's celebrated poem, par
adise and the Peri" were made doubly
affecting by the colored lights thrown on

Germany is much worried over the DIFF

assumed in getting possession of the
Philippines. According to the German
idea we could solve the difficulty by
transferring the islands to her.
