More Trouble Is Feared.

Icr boats. The Mangrove. lighthouse ten

tigate the cause Of the explosion.
How 1t May Have Happened.
1yuliamston. Conn February l7.-Captain
Paul Boyton the swimmer, believes that
the blowing up of the Maine was inc Wofk
Of Spaniards.
Captain B0yton said that probably the
Maine had her head against the stream. A
torpedo might have been exploded under
her in two ways. A torpedo weighing
from 100 to 80 pounds could have been at
tached to a piece of drtftwood and dritted
toward tho boat. The distance could have
been determined from the point where the
anchor chain left the water to any part
of the, boat, following q straight line.
The torpedo could have been foated from
a skiff With a line and & catch that would
stop II on the anchor chain. Then by play
ing out the line attached to the torpedo for
the distance that had already been deter
mined between the anchor chain and
boat, the torpedo could be brought along
side OF the vessel and exploded in two diff
ferent ways There might have been a
screw attached, similar TO the screw on a
pillar, and the moment the torpedo stopped
moving and was brought with its head 20
the current, the screw would reVolVc and.
after making Il certain number of reVolu-
tons would release II pin within the tor
pedo and cause the explosion.
Another method would be by clock mech
ansm A clock would be wound up and set
at a fixed time to cause the explosion. This
could be Gone in a most innocent appearing
way.
The torpedo could have been noatcd down
to the Maine and have all the appearance
OF a piece Of drftwOod
Captain Boyton is positive that the eX-
posion was caused by one or the other OF
these methods.
Why the Injured Were Brought Home.
Washington, February 17-Upon the re-
ccipt of the sad intelligence from Havana
at the marine hospital bureau an order
was issued by Surgeon General Wyman
assigning Surgeon T.. w. Brown to duty
at Key West. where the wounded of the
Maine are to be cared for. Surgeon Brown
Immediately left for the south and will
be stationed tt the Key West marine hos
pital. which is in charge of DIR. Gregorio
Guiteras. a brother of the famous yellow
fever expert, DR.. John Guiteras. of Phia-
delphia-
REPORTS from Havana were of such a
character that ii was deemed niujiCious
to have the injured men of the Maine sent
to any of the hospitals near the scene of
the disaster.

Gibson, N. e., Aug, 19.-It
had been thoroughly advertised
for several days all through this
section that there would be a DEM
ocratic rally at Gibson Station on
the 18th, and about 700 of as
good people as 1--we in any section
of any State assembled to hear the
political issues discussed from a
Democratic, white mans stand-
point. Those that came were not
disappointed. All were we'll pIeas~
ed. The speakers spoke from the
Hotel Gibson piazza.
The exercises of the day began
at II O'Clock by prayer from Rev.
M. D. Hicks, pastor of the Meth,
odist church here. II was a beau
tifully appropriate prayer for the
occasion.
Mr.. Bellamy spoke first for
about one hour. He recalled to
the minds of the crowd the dark
days of '6S and up to 1879, while
the Republicans had charge of the
State, how the peoples money was
squandered, and to what extent
negroism prevailed. He then told
after the Democrats came into
power, how by economical admin
istratlon and honest management
they had settled the States
bonds and how content and
happy everybody was DUR
ing the State Democratic ad-
ministration. He then alluded to
the present state of affairs,
brought about by Republicans
Populist fusion. He spoke of the
condition of Wilmington, Greens
VILE, and other towns in the
State that had been negroized by
the last legislature and Russell.
He made strong appeal to all
white voters present whether
they had voted the Populist or
Republican ticket in the past, to
come back into the white mans
Democratic party; not by the
back door, but in at the front
door. which was wide open to all
white voters. and aid us to re-
deem this State from Russellism
and negroism.
Mr.. Walter Neal, of Laurin-
burg, in inintroducing Hon. Charles
B. AYcock, spoke for about
twenty minutes. He spoke with
much earnestness and force and
alluded to Aycock as the second
Zeb Vance of North Carolina.
Mr.. Aycock spoke Tor about one
hour and made a great speech.
and when he finished I heard
several say that if there was a
second Zeb Vance in North Caro-.
line G. B. Aycock was the man.
Every time he told a joke it was
both applicable and amusing. All
whom hear express themselves
say it was the best white mans
Democratic speech they had ever
heard.
Mr.. G. M, Mclean, Democratic
candidate for solicitor for this
district, and MIR. HI. 9. Wall, of
Rockingham, made short, strong
white mans Democratic speeches.

Such advice as that given by
Young was evidence that he had
no power available to. control the
angry, resentful, savage mob
under his command. It was
confession of his weakness and
an endorsement of their lawless-
ness. If he had any disposition
to prevent trouble between the
men under his command, he
would not allow them to come
over here by scores, by fifties,
and until one or two hundred
were marching up and down the
principal streets of the city,
insolently defying the authority
of our city government, and in
sulting our citizens by their
impudence and offensive langu~
age and conduct. Col. Young
should allow no squad Of men to
leave the camp unaccompanied
by commissioned officer, and
under no circumstances should
they be allowed to loiser around
the town and drink whiskey.
They are becoming an intoler-
able nuisance, aud if not res
strained will cause much trouble
in this locality.
TWO MORE OUTRAGEs.
On Saturday night a white
gentleman of this town on his
way home was accosted by a
negro man in regulation uniform
and was forced at the muzzle of a
pistol to pilot the negro towards
the house of a certain colored
woman. The gentleman misled
the soldier and when in front of
his uncle's residence said to the
negro, Here is the place." and
raped on the door. His uncle
opened the door and the gentles
man seizing the opportunity to
escape from the negro sprang in
side and slammed the door in the
S oldier's face. The negro seated
himself on the piazza and res
NAMED there for some time and
then left. The night being ex-
ceedingly dark and stormy the
old gentleman of the house
while he knew the negro was on
the piazza, was discreet enough
not to venture outside to attempt
to arrest him.
Worse still. On Monday morn.
ing about 8 o'clock a lady the
wife of highly respected gems
tleman, went down to the shore
on Middle sound, about one hum
dred yards in rear of her home,
to gather some oysters. While
there three negro soldiers came
suddenly to- her and extending
their hands asked her to shake
hands with them. This, Of course,
she declined to do and turned to
run toward home, whereupon
they offered the most insulting
indignities, calling upon her to
witness indecent exposures OF
their persons. The lady rar
screaming home, and the negroes
fed in another direction. Before
any male assistance could be had
the negroes had made good their
escape-fortunately for them!
These may be considered out
RACES Of minor Importance wher
viewed by the Internal gang who
now control the affairs of govern
ment, but there is a day coming
when white men will take the
law in their own hands anc
defend their homes and loveo
ones.
