There has been much talk about
the exact measure Of promotion it
would be proper to award to Schley
for the victory Of Santiago, but all
questions Of title and Of numbers
in grade are trivial in comparison
with the satisfaction that comes to
him from the knowledge that he
has rendered the country a service
and that the country knows and

tributes Of affection and gratitude
that have submerged him are worth
more than a full Admiral s commits

A wealthy German of Tangier

"Your gardens are pretty but

man to him recently. "Yes," no

A stream cannot rise above its
source. A syndicate administration
is simply incapable of conducting
even a war, upon patriotic, instead
of political lines. The magnificent
men and mechanism of our navy,
the splendid courage of our soldiers,
and the skill of our trained officers,
have crowned our standard with
victories which are without parallel.
The political appointees of the ad-
ministration, from members Of the
cabinet to internal revenue spies,
have also distinguished themselves
according to their respective capaci-
ties. They are responsible for re-
cruits starving in sight of New
York, for soldiers without arms or
uniforms, ordered on three day trips
with one-day rations, for regiments
without food for days while in sight
OF their own tangled-up supplies,
for an army going into battle with
out hospital or medical provision,
and with its wounded dependent
upon Red Cross charity, and for
the CHASTITY voyages of the Seneca
and Concha, crowded with wounded
soldiers, from Santiago to New
York, which realized the horrors
of the middle passage. 1t is poll
tically understood that no soldier
is to be allowed to win enough
laurels to make him a presidential
possibility. Lee, Merritt, Schley,
Or Miles will be bottled up upon the
first dangerous symptom. The ex-
pedition to Porto Rico is now called
the consolation picnic" It is
that the sending of eight
cen more regiments, one from each
state, to that island,
is in fulfillment Of promises to
politicians. ns.-NatioMal Single Tarer.

p. m.-There was but little
foundation for the reports that
came in here last night regard
ing the Indian urrising.
The people living in the
neighborhood where the Indians
were burned on last Saturday
were fearing trouble.
Some one saw a few of the
Seminole light horse and start
ed the report that the whole
tribe was in arms.
The company that left here
last night on a special train
spent the night at Earlboro.
They sent out a scouting party
which captured a suspicious
looking Indian. who stated that
he had just left a company of
fifty Indians, and this gave
strength to former reports. A
thorough investigation was
made which proved everything
to be contrary to reports.

DsnGer-NearInR the End.

Havana. via Key West. Jan.
12.-Havana at this moment,
1:30 p. M, when the Key West
steamer leaves, is in a terrible
state of excitement.
A large number of army off
GERS and soldiers belonging to
the conservative party have at
tackled the offices of the autono-
mist newspapers.
The attack was caused by
General BIanco's refusal to sup
press a liberal newspaper.
Everybody is waiting to see
what Blanco will do. If he
calls out the volunteers they
will not likely obey. They are
most rabid against autonomy.
He will either have to call upon
the regular battalions operating
around Havana or ask help
from the forts.
The American residents feel
in grave danger. They have
strongly urged Lee to land a
war ship for their protection.
The American consulate is now
strongly guarded by troops.
The rioters, whenever they
passed the houses known to be
occupied by Americans. were
loud in their denunciations,
and "Abas Americanos" was
heard on every corner.
Consul General Lee is calm
and collected in all the disturb
ance. If the situation is not re-
lieved before morning he will
call for the landing of the ma
rines from the American ships
in port.
The Spanish officers and vol
unteers appear to have entirely
lost control of themselves
They loudly denounce Blanco
and the Sagasta government
and seem bent on producing a
state of anarchy.
The end must be near at hand
for the government will exper-
ience so much trouble in, con-
trolling its own people that the
Cubans will be left alone.

ORIGIN OF LACE.

The Making OF Fine Me.he.-soms Inter
estinE History.
Handmade lace has a fascinating
history, says The Woman's Home
Companion. Some have supposed
that IT originated in Egypt, the land
that gave birth to nearly all the
arts. but search diligently as you
may and you will never discover
in mummy's tomb. on sculptured or
painted wall OF in any archaeological
find whatever, the pictorial or actual
remains of this poetic tissue; neither
is there documentary evidence Of
it's presence there. Gauzes and nets,
fine muslins and exquisite embroid-
er1es, fringes, knotted and plated,
you may meet with frequently, but
this fabric without a foundation,
this ethereal textile, named by the
Italians 'punto in aria" (stitch in
air., you will never chance upon.
Whyi Because il did not exist before
the fifteenth century; because il was
invented by the European woman,
forming her contribution TO the re
naissance. and was unknown 10 the
orientals, who have even now no
love for its pale perfection and do
not use IL in their costumes or in
household decoration. It's lack of
color makes il unlovely in their eyes.
Fanciful stories have been woven
to account for the invention of the
art, and the honor has been claimed
by both Venice and Flanders Yet
1t did not at once spring into being
in full perfection. but was rather an
evolution and came by degrees.
In 'punto tagliato" (ont point) we
first perceive a cropping in its direc-
ton, for with the piercings of white
embroidery we have a lighter effect
In drawn work ''punto tirato'') an
other step WAS gained. and in retic-
ulated grounds or network we have
a decided advantage. Upon this net
the pattern was darned in, and in
France il was called "lacis." the
nearest word we have TO lace. After
these efforts came total emancipa-
tion from all foundations, and the
"punto in aria" was an assured fact.
The first lace, il is thought, was
made with the needle (point), the
pattern being traced upon parch-
ment or paper, and the outlines
marked by a thread, caught now
and then TO the paper, TO keep il in
place. Upon this scaffolding the
sight superstructure was built, and
the method is still the same. Soon
afterward the bobbins came in az a
factor, aud the needle and the bob
bins remain to this day the only
means employed to produce hand
made lace. So that all of il resolves
itself into the two generic kinds
point, which is made by the needle,
and pillow, by the bobbins, OF there
may be a composite article made by
both.

COTTON LETTER.

BY private wire of X. F. Darcy s. Co., New
York, New Orleans ahd Chicago.
New York, Jan. 13--The course of
the cotton market at opening caused
no little surprise, there having been
considerable nervousness over the
early weakness at Liverpool and fear
of liquidation on account of the large
estimate by Wilson. First prices,
however, failed to show a decline of
over one point, with July leading in
point of activity. Subsequent to the
first call March, May and August at
tracted attention. Southern and Eu-
ropean buying orders sufhced to re-
store confidence and local sellers
soon retired, unable TO make any inn

dency was upward with indications
of incrt ased trading for the day.
Interior receipts for the day foot
up 6,sss against 1851 yesterday

Pauls Valley, Jan. l2.-The
annual election of officers of
the First National bank of this
place was held yesterday, the
old officers being reelected, as
follows: c. J. Grant, presi-
dent; S. j. Garyin, vice-presi-
dent; E. G. Gage, cashier; Ralf
Goddard. assistant cashier.
The storm last night was the
cause of considerable damage
in this place and vicinity.
The steel awning in front of
Hightower Bros, was first
blown up against the second
story of the house and then as
it came down, one of the iron
posts was forced through the
window. causing about 500
damage to glass and awning.
Several other buildings were
more or less injured.
At Beef Creek, about fifteen
miles west of here, the Metho-
dist church was entirely blown
away and is a total loss. Sew
eral farm buildings had their
roofs blown off and were other
wise damaged.
A uniform rank X. of p. Is
being organized in Pauls Valley
and the necessary number of
names has been obtained.
