The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1898-04-06

Excitement has been at fever heat
during the past week. Rumors have
come thick and fast upon the heels
of each other. Confusion seems
worse confounded and Congress and
a majority Of the people seems to have
run mad over the delay of the Presi-
dent to declare war With Spain and
pitch right in and lick her out OF her
boots whether she is wiling to be so
licked OF not. In all the impatient
and unreasonable demands OF an
angry and excited rabble and amid
the clamor and confusion OF voices
in Washington, there is one man
whose hands falter not in guiding
the Ship of State through the tenn
pes;ous waves of threatened war and
whose head is unturned by the dlt-
6culties and perplexisies besetting
him on all sides. That man is VIM
Mckinley, President Of these great
United States. In calmn serinlty
and with apparent indifferent stolidity
he is handling the delicate intricate
matters involving international laws
and customs, as we'll as touching our
own, in a patriotic and statesman
like manner. Needless Of the taunts
and bitter and unjust abuse OF ene-
mics and unmindful of the entreaties
of friends, he has pursued the even
tenor of his way, laboring solely for
Americas honor and Americas
glory, fortifying and preparing to
meet any emergency which might
be placed in his way, either by chance
or design, with courage and fortl-
tude born of ones devotion to and
love of country. Great occasions
produce great men, and in his calm
ness and dignity, President Mckinley
seems to have been created by
an all wise God to meet the great
crisis now upon Us, that His power
might be acknowledged and Ameli-
cas- dignity maintained.

THE SHASHI OUTRAGE.

A mob rose at Shashi, China, and
the Japanese Consulate and Customs
buildings, etc, were totally destroy
ed by nre. Mr.. 1eitaki, the Japanese
Consul there, took refuge elsewhere
Hupeh is province, says the Jiji,
renowned for the prevalence of the
anti-foreign spirit among the ~people,
as may be inferred from the fact that
serious objections were raised to the
opening OF Shashi in that province,
according to the Balkan treaty, some
time ago, which was, however, en-
forced by the government. The re-
cent disturbance at the port is reas-
onably attributed to the instigation
of the ignorant in consequence of the
anti-foreign spirit. The premises of
the Japanese Consulate were destroy
ed by fire and inexcusable insult was
given to the representative of the ia
panese government.
The Jill continues: 1t is absolute
ly necessary that the government
should Immediately ask compensation
for the losses sustained, and the pun
ishment of the rioters, as well as of
local officials implicated, besides OBJ
tanning guarantee that precautions
will be taken to prevent the recur-
renee of such outrages in the future.
1t is in a spirit of sincere friendship
and sympathy, concludes the writer,
that we advise the Chinese govern
ment to pay more attention to the
control of the people in the open
ports to insure which she should not
even hesitate to ask the assistance OF
the other powers
All the Tokyo papers concur in the
views of the Jill, in expressing sym
pathy with China in her present ex-
tremity, and in affirming that no more
than compensation for losses, and the
punishment of the ring leaders of the
riots, etc, will be demanded,

There is just now magnlhcent
chance for bonus" for Il small par
ty of enterprising Americans at the
Caroline Islands in the South Pacific.
Lying close to the shore at Ponape is
the small Spanish gunboat Quros, n
wooden vessel of about 1, 900 tons She
has on board about 12j men, one
small shell gun and three rifle can
non, besides the small arms and the
equipment of man of war.
sea captain who has just return
ed from the Islands states that he
could have captured the vessel if he
had known of the war when down
there. The natives of Ponape are
death on the Spanards. They are
fairly armed and would not hesitate
a moment to try their luck on their
masters and oppressors.
On shore is Il garrison of 200 men,
armed with very poor ordinary rifles,
and little ammunition. Officers and
men of the Quiros are in the stocSade
nearly all the time, leaving SER
geant's guard to see that the warship
does not float off. They are exceed
ingly careless. The plan the captain
would have tried was to have assem-
bles 400 or 500 natives in the bush on
the point near the ship. At signal
from him a rush would have been
made in boats upon the vessel and be-
fore the sailors knew what was hap
pening the fight would have been ov-
er.
The Quiros is one of the poorest
excuses for warship afoat. One
shot from the Bennington would re-
duce her to kindling splinters. At the
same time she figures as one boat In
SPANS great navy and has some ma
terial of value on board. Something
over 300 men could be captured with
her. There are in the neighborhood
also several Spanish merchant vessels
of various sizes and values. Most of
chem are small. however.
Another part of the situation is
the critical position of American in
terests there on account of the war.
1t is hardly possible that the news of
hostilities will reach Ponape in sew
.eral months, unless indeed it is car
ried over from the Marshal Islands In
a small boat. A British steamer from
New Zealand touches at Jaluit in the
latter group every two months.
There are American missions at Po-
nape and most of the neighboring Is
lands The mission schools are at
Kusaie, a short distance away AS
sisting the mission work are the
schooners Robert w. Logan and Hi
| ram Bingham. The latter has nap
tina engine aboard and is rated as
steamer. Both are under the Ameri-
can flag.
If able to catch them the Quiros
| would Immediately overhaul these
vessels. She would then proceed to
Huasie and destroy the missions of
The american Board and kill or capt
IRE The missionaries. The Spaniards
have been unfriendly to the missions
for years and would undertake the
latter task with considerable joy.
1t is now certain that the Morning
Star will not leave for the Islands un-
til either the war is over or the Qui-
ros is made way with. She will wait
at this port until advices arrive from
Washington. 1t is just possible that
she may be ordered to San Francisco
| to await developments.

At 10:3O tomorrow morning Queen
Dowager Kapiolani will visit the u.
S. S. Charleston for the purpose of
presenting the ship with "a large Ame-
rican flag as a token of her appreci-
alton of the kindness of the officers
of the war vessel Immediately pre-
ceding and following the death of her
late husband in California in 1891.
The flag is fourteen feet in length
and is all fine silk. 1t was made with
great care by Hawaiian ladies. the
Queen Dowager supervising the WORK.
The presentation will be made by
Kapiolani to Captain Glass. On the
occasion the Queen Dowager will be
accompanied by Prince David Kawa-
nanakoa and several ladies.
The incident to which this function
has special reference will be remen
bered by all. In November, 1890,
King Kalakaua, then in rather pad
health, visited California as the
guest of Admiral Brown on the
Charleston. He was well received and
shown every attention in San Fr,n-
cisco. Shortly after his arrival there
however, he was taken quite i'll. Po-
ports of his condition reached the is
lands about the middle of January.
On January 20, 1891, the King
breathed his last, at the Palace hotel.
Admiral Brown personally superin-
tended the arrangements for emba.m-
ing the body, and was detailed IN tie
Charleston to return the remains TO
Honolulu.
On January goth the Charleston was
sighted off Koko Head. The cock billed
yards on her masts told in advance of
what had happened. Thousands upon
thousands of people, natives and for
eigners, gathered on the wharves to
see the warship come in. The body
was promptly transferred from her TO
the Royal Palace.
The acts and expressions of Admi-
raj Brown on this occasion greatly
impressed the native Hawaiians, and
ever after that they held an immense
Aloha for him and for his ship, the
Charleston. The hookupu given hi'h
| short time later was quite the
grandest thing of the kind ever under
taken in Honolulu. Standing on Brew
er's wharf the admiral wis literally
buried under flood of leis, and
fruits and produce, small quantity
from each native. was piled ten or fif-
teen feet high all around him.
I'M her bereavement the Queen Dow
ager did not have the opportunity to
remember the Charleston. She has al
ways had the matter in mind, howev-
er, and will at this time show her rec
| ognition of the services of the good
ship.

sailed majestically intos the harbor,
followed by the Australia and the

Never were men or ships greeted

answered Justify with cheers and the
waving of caps.
1t was an inspiring sight. The big
wharves were crowded. The steam
ers that took out the reception COM
