There is many fine young man
in tho ranks of South Cardinals VOL
untcers. Gentlemen of education
and refinement, holding good posi-
tlons, have gone into the service as
privates at great sacrifice of their
business and still greater sacrifice of
their comfort and their sonsibilitios,
and are drilling in the awkwarf
squads side by side with some tolera-
bly, tough citizens, who have taken
to soldering for reasons less elevated.
There are enough of them to leaven
tho whole lump, and the State owes
them great debt for their patriotic
course and the fine example they
have set and will continue to set.
The quality of our privates will
average high. None but a volurteer
army could maintain ij.---Tho State.

SPANISH TROOPS FACE ANGRY MON
Conflicts Between the Popalaee and
Military Occurring In All Parts
OF Spain and a Revolution
10 Brewing.

+ MADRID, May 6. -. The disturb
ances caused by the high prices and
scarcity of food and the distrust as
to tho military operations continue
in the Spanish provinces.
There have been frequent conflicts
between the rioters and the civil
guards, and looting and shooting are
reported from various points. ....
At Barcelona there has been re.
moved run on the bank, tho holders
of its notes demanding silver.
Anti-govornmont demonstrations
are now of alarming frequency, and
the army is unable TO cope with the
infuriated populace. Cabinet officials
are in conference, and several propo-
sitions are being considered. The
throne is anxious for al early tormi-
nation of the war, and the masses
are in favor of what they consider O.
stronger military policy.
Weyler is rapidly becoming the
popular idol on account of his rigid
Cuban policy and the reverses that
have befallen the nation since the
war with the United States began.
A mob of about eight thousand
striking miners has made tumultu-
Gus demonstration at Murcia, capital
of the province of that name, thirty
miles from the port of Carthagena.
They shouted 'sDeath to the thieves"
"Down with the taxes" attempted
to set fire to the railroad depot and
other buildings and then began q
movement toward Carthagena. A
strong force of troops, however, pre-
vented the rioters from moving on
the port. A number of men were
wounded.
Disturbances are also threatened
at Carthagena, where martial law
has been proclaimed.
| holiullbI SCclcS napc OCCuFrcu aI
Oviedo and Leon and at number of
other towns where factory hands
have quit work.
The strikers arc parading the
streets, demanding cheap board and
stoning houses.
The steps taken by the authorities
have resulted in the restoration of
peace at Malaga, where tho British
ste am yacht Lady OF Clemcll was
recently stoned and driven out of the
harbor. 1t appears that the Malaga
mob thought she was an American
vessel.
The troops are held in the bar
racks, ready to march at any instant
against the mob or the rovolutio onists
Cavalry and infantry patrol the
streets from nightfall to sunrise.
All the public buildings are
crowded inside with foot and mounted
police.
In the rest of the kingdom the
precautions, though less visible, are
equally strict, because the court and
tho government fear gravcr move
ments still in case of rcVcrscs in Cuba
or to the fleets.
The chief fear is of popular revo.
luton, which everybody can see is
brewing.

Stars and Stripes Raised In Cuba After
Spirited Land Battle In Which
Spaniards Lost Heavily.

KEY WEST, May 5.--The tug
Leyden has returned here after hav-
ing landed two parties on Cuban
soil, one Of them having had subse-
quently sharp engagement with
Spanish. forces.
One of the parties consisted, accor-
ding to report, of commission from
Washington to General Gomez,
which was debarked on the north
shore of Santa Clara province, from
whence an immediate start for the
interior was made. ...@
The other party, which landed
near Mariel, north of. Havana, -~aWai ies
under command of the Cuban leader,
General Baldomero Acosta.
Before this company went ashore
the cruiser Wilmington shelled some
Spanish cavalry assembled in the
vicinity, and when the landing was
affected ,costa's attachment charged
and routel the Spaniards, who, in
their retreat, took with them about
sixty wounded comrades, but left
sixteen dead on the field.
The American and Cuban colors
were side by side on Cuban soil.
The party that landed on the Santa
Clara province was fired upon by
Spanish cavalry in ambush, and q
Cuban land force under General
Diaz attacked the Spanish, who were
200 strong.
The landing party, it is stated,
comprised a score or more of agents
of the Cuban junta, United States
commissioner and General Acosta,
together with cavalry horses, arms
and ammunition destined for General
Acosta, former commander in cavalry
troops in the western part of Havana
province.
The Leyden was twice fired upon.
She bears bullet marks on her smoke
stack. The Spaniards who opened
the fire on the dispatch boat were
driven back by the insurgents.
1t is officially reported that none
OF thc Americans or Cubans OF the
expedition were killed or wounded.
1t is said that each party did not
consist of over dozen men. "
One striking feature in landing the
expedition is the fact that willie wait
ing the attack the cavaIrymen the Will
mington fired at a blockhouse further
down the beach. There were some
fifty Spanish regulars sitting on top
of this blockhouse watching the Ley
den and the insurgeants. The Will
mington's first shot went wild. The
twelfth and last shot was BULBS
eye. When the smoke cleared away
the b'ockhouse, the mon, and all dis
appeared as though swallowed up.
The Spanish colors that had foated
from the house were seen up in {.
tree, where shot had driven them.

A Shabby Record

Not since the battle of Lepanto in
1871 has Spain given a good account
of herself in naval warfare. In that
battle Spain, with the aid Of the
Gencose and Venetian fleets admin
istered such crushing defeat to
Turkey that it destroyed the power
of the sultan on the seas for all time
to come. That was the last of
Spain's naval victories. Seventeen
years later she sent her boasted In
vincible Armada, he greatest col
lection of warships ever seen, against
England. What the storm off the
English coast left of this splendid
hotilla Francis Drake, the dragon of
the sea, disposed of.
In 1704 Spain lost Gibraltar and
England has held it ever since.
Three months after its capture the
allied forces of Spain and France
tried to retake the fortress and lost
10000 men in the cndcavor. The
effort was repeated by Spain alone
in 1920 and again in 1927, both
times with disastrous results.
France came to the help of Spain
again in 1779, but the English beat
them back from Gibraltar with heavy
lossess.
In 1851 Spain once more attacked
Gibraltar and suffered the loss of
10000 men. France again aided
her in 1882, but the allies were utterly
defeated.
Spain since that time has given up
hope Of recapturing Gibraltar.
On July 81, l718, Spain lost to
England twenty-one battleships at
Messina. In 1880 Rodney admins
tered severe defeat to the Spanish
fleet off Cape Vincent, where
her warships were recently gath.
cred.
A far worse thrashing was given
her by that greatest ofa sea-fghters,
lIoratio Nelson, at TrafaIgar, where
with far inferior fleet he almost
annihilated the combined naval
strength of France and Spain.
Spain's latest naval defeat before
the battle of Manila was in 1866
when Peru, with n few ships, most
of thom borrowed from Chill, utterly
defeated " stronger Spanish fleet.
Admiral Pcieja, the Spanish COM
mandor, was SO mortified at the
result that he retired to his cabin
and blew out his brains.
Commodore Dewey and his gallant
mon have added another to the long
unbrokon and dismal list Of Spanish
defeats 1T sea. Admiral Sam pson
will soon add anothor.--Atlanta

Passing of the Brigadiers.

The appointment OF General Joe
Wheeler and General Fitzhugh Lee
to the rank of major general in the
United States army will forever lay
in its grave a political ghost that was
ever rising before the affrightcd gaze
of the Republican party in exciting
campaigns. Confederate brigadicrs,
clothed in a bloody shirt, fresh from
the warp and woof of the Republican
stump speakers imagination, were
ever and anon riding against the
national capital in alarming numbers
and their presence in the senate and
house of representatives was a men,.
ace to the peace of the Republic
especially about election time.
This cx-Confedcrate brigadicr and
bloody shirt business has been worked
by the Republican party until the
shirt has become thing of shrcds
and patches, and the war was so long
past that the offending brigadiers
rarely thought of their military
rcnown. This is busy workaday
world, and people of this generation
waste little time worrying about
what man did thirty-thrcc years
ago, provided he is meeting the
responsibilities and discharging the
duties of to-day.
But small politicians who sought
to profit by appeals to sectional pre-
judice and passion were wont in
every national campaign, and in the
course of heated party debates in
congress to hold up as a bugaboo
before the people the Confederate
brigadiers in congress and to wave
the bloody shirt over the heads of
their affrightcd party.
But as apolitical bugaboo in this
country the Confederate brigadior is
hereafter thing of the past. Two
gallant specimens of this dangerous
class have been called to tho highest
rank of our national army, and the
Confederate brigadiers, Fitzhugh
Lee and Joe Wheeler, arc now major
generals in the federal army. Gal
liant boys who wore the blue will
march side by side with gallant boys
who wore the gray--both led by
an ex- Confederate brigadicr. Verify
the bloody chasm has been bridgcd
and the bloody shirt is buried from
sight forever. The Confederate
brigadicr has donncd the bluc and
again mshcathcd his stainless sword
in the cause of human liberty and
national independence.
Even to have accomplished this
blessed result among our own peo-
pie and in our own country, the war
against Spain would not be vain if it
accomplished nothing else. In the
coming together again of all our pco-
pie under the stars and stripes and
the marching Of the men Of the South,
shoulder to shoulder with the men of
the North, under the leadership of
Miles, Graham, Lee, Shaftcr nd
Wheeler, "this nation, under God,
shall have new birth of freedom,
and government Of the people, by
the people and for the people, shall
not perish from the earth. ."--Augusta
Chronicle.
