Death Almost Certain.

The relative danger Of service on
our different fighting ships is just
now the subject Of interesting spec
ulation on the part of naval officers,
and one officer has summed it up
in this fashion:
1.-THE crew of q torpedo boat that
goes into action must embark with
almost certainty of death. If they
are ordered to attack in the day
time their only hope is to avoid the
rapid-6re guns of the ship which
they expect to blow up. The boats
are con structed to make bold dart
at the enemy and FIRE torpedo,
but they would be easily sunk by
well-aimed rapid.fire guns. Even
| in night attack the chances are
that the enemy's searchlights would
pick them up, and then it would be
| race to discharge their torpedoes
before they were sunk. The de-
struction of large percentage OF
torpedo boats is always counted
upon in general engagement. The
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius would
offer as much danger to her crew as
a torpedo boat if she went into ac-
ton. You must remember that
when she is loaded to fight she car.

and if an enemy's projectile pene'
trated to her magazine the men on
Hoard would never know what hap
tened to them. If the Holland sub
marine boat should be accepted by
the Government her crew would
to my mind, run very fair chance
Of going to the bottom. Granting
that she can do all that is claimed
for her, if she were sent out to sink
a battleship and exposed her turre
even for short period, she woule

vessels, which would be eager for re

be worth it, and there would be nj
difficulty in finding crews for sucl
boats. The destruction of battle
ship at no greater cost than that o
submarine boat and small crew
would be distinct gain. Let m

The treatment which Spain has

been brutal. Spanish hearts and
Spanish methods changed but little
from Cortez to Weyler, the only
difference, instead of increase and
success as at the beginning. failure
and decrease of empire is at the end.
Spain has always felt her inferi-

and in order to apparently main
tain her position she has bid def

Spain has tor a hundred years
repeatedly thrown down the gaunt-
let of defiance at our feet.
She has disregarded all treaty
obligations. Who can recall the

A False RumOr

1t was rumCred about the streets yes
terday that Sunday evening an attempt
was made to hold UP one of the United
States mail wagons while it was re-
turning to the postoffice from the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad depot
the following peculiar manner:
Shortly after Z O'Clock Sunday even
ing, as usual, the mail wagon was sent
| tothe Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
| depot to meet the 7:2O O'Clock incoming
train. Upon the arrival Of the train,
| and after the mail had been obtained,
Nixon Pearsall, cOlOred, driver of the
wagon, mounted the boot, as did also
| Mr.. J. T. MORRILL,, postal clerk Of the
train, and drove off. AS the wagon, to
which is attached a very fine horse,
was going up Grace street, a man
came running down the street, shout
ing to Pearsall TO stop. Pearsall,
thinking that something was the mat
ter, started TO stop his horse, but then
perceiving That he man had something
in his hand and was about to halt by
the wagon he put whip to his horse
| and the vehicle was soon at it's desti-
nation.
The man evidently did not mean to
rob the wagon, as there were too many
| people in sight and too many vehicles
on the street at the time, besides Mr..
Morrill, was sitting on he seat with
the driver. Evidently the man only
wanted to speak to Mr.. Morrill, or Pear
sail or wanted to get a letter carried
to the ~postoffice. Pearsall says he does
not know r-ether the man was black
or white, and that he did not think at
the time that the man was attempting
to rob the wagon, but thathe (PearsalD
only acted in the ann he did as he
could not afford " take chances, being
in charge of the United States mail.
