Hospital for the Insane Crowded.

The care of the insane Of the State
has become a serious problem. The
number Of patients has assumed
alarming proportions. To such an ex-
tent is this true that the board Of re-
gents met yesterday and gave the mat
ter their most careful consideration.
AS result Of their deliberations they
appointed two committees to study
plans to relieve the situation by re-
dueing the number under treatment.
During the past month 9S9 persons
were cared for. This is the largest
number in the history of the hospital
for the insane. Thirty-four new ones
have applied for admission. Thirty
one patients we're discharged on trial.
The regents decided that the insti-
tutisn is becoming so crowded that to
accommodate recent and incurable
cases for whom applications are being
made it will be necessary to send all
chronic and harmless cases to the
poor houses Of their respective coun-
ties. A committee consisting Of Mr..
Iredell Jones and Superintendent
Babcock was appointed to investigate
the subject and report to the regents
in order that the matter may be laid
before Governor Ellerbe to be trans
mitted by him to the next General
Assembly.
The question Of admitting insane
criminals is vital one and DR.. Tay-
lor. as chairman: was appointed to
prepare a special report. lie is to
confer with the superintendent and
directors of the penitentiary in order
to have recommendations for legisla-
tion which will have insane criminals
placed in the penitentiary: where in
the opinion Of the regents they prop
erly belong.-Wc State.

Gov. Ellerbc viii Command our Troops

.At last the Governor Of south Car
o]ipa comes out unequivocally. says
he believes WIT is inevitable. an
nounces his intention TO order out the
State troops the moment they are
needed, and declares that he himself
will lead the State 5 soldiers to the
front. This is the first time the Gov
crnor has spoken and it is thought
that he has had some advlces.
Last night he gave the press the
following interview:
Governor. what do gcu think OF
the prospect of war with spain:
WAR is very serious matter and
should not AT any time be undertaken
except for spcciai ana sufficient rea-
sons. If. however, the Court OF In
quiry decides that the Spanish GOV
ernment is responsible for the blow
Ing up of the Maine it seems to me
that war is inevitable. The bastard
ly acr Of taking the lives OF 236 un-
suspecting American seamen while
quietly asleep in friendly port
should not be treated lightly by any
nation Of courage The conservative
policy which has been pursued by the
administration is to be much COM
mepded.

called upon what do you propose to

Spanish Forces. Living and Dead.

WASHINGTON: March 1S.-Seventy
thousand men is the number Of Span
ish soldiers who have been killed,
wounded and otherwise incapacitated
for duty during the present war in
Cuba. These figures have been re-
ceived in this city recently from rell-
able sources, and is said to be as
nearly authentic as it is possible to
obtain them without recourse to the
records kept by the Spanish govern
ment. From the same source consld-
cradle other information bearing on
the military strength Of Spain and her
dependencies is obtained. The pres
ent force of Spain in Cuba is as fol-
lows:
Regulars, l35, 1000 OF this number
it is estimated that $4,000 of them are
effective for military purposes. They
are distributed throughout the island
as follows: About $4,000 are in the
two eastern provinces of Santiago de
Cuba and Puerto Principe, and the re-
maindcr are in the provinces of Santa
Clara, Mantanzas, Habana and Pinar
del Rio.
There are about 10000 members
in what is known as the volunteer
army. These arc mostly in the pro-
vince of Habana, and are largely in
the nature Of home guards. cores
ponding to our military duty from va
rious causes.
The strength Of the Spanish army
at home, including her nearby posses
sions, is 100000 men, which in times
Of demand for additional soldiers may
be increased as follows: First reserve.
so, 900: second reserve, 100000 men,
all of whom are instructed in military
tactics, and a second reserve which is
not instructed Of 100000, making in
all grand total Of 6l0,OO0 men.
Since these figures were received here
recent drafts of $1,000 men to
strengthen the army in Cuba leaves
only $1,000 men Of Spain's regular
army in the peninsula, the Belearic
Islands, the Spanish possessions in
North Africa aud the Canary Islands.
In the Philippine Islands Spain has
an army Of $4,000 men. which in
cludcs about $4,000 native troops.
Several regiments of the latter were
disbanded during the time Of war.
1t is said that they are Of little use to
the Spanish government.
In Porto Rico there are 5000 Span
ish troops, which in the event of hos
tilities could be supplemented by
1000 volunteers.

Wait Another Week.

KEY WEST, Fla. March 20.-The
Court of Inquiry, according to Rear
Admiral Sicard, will continue its work
through the coming week, as it is not
yet ready to make report on the
Maine disaster. The statement that
Capt. Albert S. Barker carried the re-
port to Washington is officially de-
MED. The object of his flying visit
to Key West was not ascertained, out
side vficial circles until to-day 1t
can be authoritatively stated that
Capt. Barker had nothing to do with
the Court of Inquiry.
He came here on Friday from Tam
pa On special mission to investigate
the harbor defences, following out
some lines suggested by Gen. Wilson,
chief of engineers, in his recent in
spection Of land forti6cations. Capt.
Barkers plan. when he left here last
night, was to confer with Commander
McCalla, of the Marblehead. who is
now at Tampa. and he will probably
remain there a day or so. Capt. Bar
ker formerly commanded the Oregon.
1t is impossible to say definitely
whether any synopsis of the findings
of the Court up to date has been sent
to Washington. The notion prevails
here that this has been done, but no
official confirmation is obtaiuablc.
That the final report has been sent to
Washington can be definitely denied.
Capt. Sampson and Lieutenant
Commander Mark remained on board
the Iowa to-day. Capt Chadwick
and Lieutenant Commander Porter
did not leave the New York. The
Court is expected to rcconvenc to-
morrow on the Iowa.

A Flattery Mirror.
Chicago Times-Herald.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
A "fattery mirror is the latest contribu-
tion to the ranks of middle-aged women
and it is really invention worth consid-
ering, as it deceives no one except the per-
son who uses 1t, and who is a willing party
to the deception. That it will be adopted
by many young women who have relin-
quished the hope of ever posing as beauties
is very apparent, for she who looks into
this mirror beholds such softened and
beautifed presentment of her face and fea-
lures that she is entirely satisfied with the
result.
Just think of it!' said one woman who
has used 1t ever since 1t was discovered II
used to find more fault with my poor face,
always seeing new lines and wrinkles and
making myself wretched over them, until
saw the mirror advertised and had taken
. a peep into one. Then l recalled the baskets
of peaches, with their pink wells, and saw
that this glass was an Improvement on that
design. OF course / make ii rule of my
life never to look in any other mirror and
so | carry with me the softened idealized
vision of my face it appears there 1t
has made me satisfied with myself, and
that is great gain"
Il always hated my tell-tale mirror" said
a business woman. Il looked so practical
and uninteresting in 1t, but this new one
makes me look really attractive, SO that
go to my work and am not troubled with
dissatisfaction over my appearance"
The effect is produced by a shadowed cor
ner and gauze veil over the mirror.
