What Spain Will Lose.

1t is said in practically all
quarters of Congress that at the
conclusion of the war Spain will
have no possession on this side of
the Atlantic and will not regain
control of the Philippines. 1t is
declared in responsible quarters
that we will capture and retain
Porto Rico permanently, will give
Cuba her freedom under a stable
republican government and will
probably turn the Philippines over
to Great Britain, getting some of
the British West India possessions
in return. The occupancy of the
Philippines, and especially their
transfer 20 Great Britain is likely
TO have a very important bearing
upon the eastern question:" in
which the whole world is interes-
ted, and may lead to events of
greater moment than the war
with Spain. 1t is not the inten
ton of this government to retain
control of the PHILIPPINES or of
Cuba, no matter what may hap
pen, but the authority of Spain
over both must he surrendered
for ever. A coaling station at
the PHILIPPINES and possession OF
Porto Rico Is all that this gov
ernment will retain as "spoils"
of war.

Why Preachers Favor War.

Rev G Jones, Chaplain of
the Catawba Rifles of Rock Hill,
preached a special sermon to the
company on the eve Of their de
parture. Rev Mr. Jones as does
most other ministers, believes in
the justice Of our contention with
Spain. During the course of his
sermon he made his views plain
by saying:
II don't believe this war is
sent on us us a curse. believe
1t is an opportunity. God has
seen the oppression of Spain
through the centuries. He has
seen innocent women driven into
huts and holes with all grades of
society to be ruined and debauch-
ed, and to die a death that is worse

COMMODORE DEWEY,S RE.
CORD.
His Career Since he Left the
Naval Academy in 1853.

When he was placed in command
of the Asiatic squadron great
things were expected of him, and
his great victory at Manila shows
that this confidence was not mis-
placed.
He got his baptism of fire in
the early days of the civil war on
board the sloop Mississippi Of
Admiral Faragut's fleet. The
hero of the Philippines was born in
Vermont, and is now in his sixty
first year. He was graduated mt
the naval academy in 1855, and
made his first cruise on the Wa
bash to the Mediterranean. He
reached the grade of lieutenant
April 10, 1861, eight days after
the assault on Fort Sumter, and
was assigned to the Mississippi
on the west gulf station. He was
on that vessel, when, as part of
Admiral Farragut's fleet she
forced an entrance to the Miss
issippi river and forced the sur
render of New Orleans. His YES
sci was attacked Fort St Philip.
The hottest fight that the Miss.
issippi ever engaged in WAS her
last one, and this was perhaps as
hot Is any of the war. In March
1868, the fleet tried to run by tae
Confederate batteries at Port
Hudson. Some of the ships got
ms far as n narrow part of the
channel, where they met land
batteries almost muzzIc TO mu2.
zIc, and then they were forced to
retreat. The Mississippi did not
get as far rs this. A foggy day
had been chosen for the attempt,
and this was soon made more ob.
scure by the smoke of battle, and
amid this the Mississippi lost her
bearings and ran ashore.
Her officers found that she had
struck just under the guns Of
battery in the middle of the line
of Notifications, and one of the
strongest of the lot. In half an
hour $50 shots struck the vessel,
and she was riddled from end to
end. There was no possible
chance to hold Ter, and her crew
took to their boats and landed on
the opposite side of the river, af.
ter setting her on fire. Soon,
lightened by the loss of her crew
and by the fire, she driftcd of,
and blazing and saluting with
drifting shells, she drifted down
the river, until finally the fire
reached her magazines, and her
career was ended IN one great ex-
plosion. Commodore Dewey
subsequently served on the gun
boat Agawan of the North At
lantlc squadron, and took part in
the two attacks on Fort Fisher in
1864 and 1865. In the latter
year he became Il lieutenant com
mander and as such served or the
kearsarge and the Colorado. The
latter was flagship of the Euro
pean squadron.
In 1868 he began service at the
naval academy, and few years
later was given his first command,
the NarraganseIt, which vessel
was engaged in special service,
making surveys in the Pacific. In
1876 he became attached to the
light house service and remained
on that duty until 1882, when he
was placed IN command of the
Juniata on the Asiatic station.
He became a captain in 1884 was
given command of the Dolphin,
which had just been constructed
