OUR NEW LEADERSHIP.

Well we have our new leadership:
We asked for it and We have re-
ceived it. 1t is an aphorism old
and ancient, ''ask for what you
want in Ny name and it shall be
given to you" This new leader
ship that We have asked for is a
band Of apologists and trimmers.
We are also confronted with a new
Office hunter, the political agitator
and dissatisfied politician. He is
dissatisfied because the negroes
have been Disseminated against.
So much dissatisfied is he that
the leadingynegroes in this country
have decided to join in call
for the organization of an Afro
American League. This political
agitator and organizer, wants to
be appointed one of the Industrial
Commissioners. Should he be ap-
pointed a commissioner what will
become Of his non political league
1t has been our experience in life,
no matter how much indifference q
negro shows, he becomes intox'
icated by the Establishments of Of
fetal power. He becomes stupifiec
which terminates into disease O
perpetual Office seeking and offic,
holding. Negro leadership goe
up like bubble and bursts IN th'
atmosphere sixteen feet high
There is as much vigor in negr'
leadership as there is in soal
bubble.
President Mckinley has givel
US a new leadership which is n,
more help to the masses than tn
eloquence of a stump speaker dis
cussing the elements of vinager t,
cattle drivers. We have enough o
this new leadership.

Gregory, graduated from Amherst
College June 2e He was the only
Atro-American student in a class of
ninety members, was class orator and
also chosen as one of eight from the
whole class to compete for the Hardy
prize in debate. He was captain of
the Varsity" base ball team for 'e8,
and is the first Afro-AmeriCan to be
elected as captain of base ball team
in any of the eastern colleges. In his
oratorical prize of $50, and in his
junior year won the Ladd and the
Hogan orator1cal prizes. This is re-
markable career for any young man,
and he has every reason to be proud
off it.
His father, James Monroe Gregory,
for many years professor of languages,
at Howard University, Washington,

Normal and Industrial school, this
city, is a graduate of the Cleveland,

had. A very stong and accurate
thrower, he seldom fails to shut his
man out at the plate. He is also a
good batter. Although handicapped
by the necessity of developing an en-
tirely new battery, 1t is expected that
he will turn out a good team this
year"

SANTIAGO.

1t is unfair and unjust to the
Cuban negroes in Santiago to
charge that they would be unfit for
self,goyerL ment if the United
States were to turn that country
over to the Cubans. That the Gu
ban negroes are vicious and vindi-
cative. 1t is quite evident that
the United States lean more toward
the enemy than they do toward their
friends. The Cubans have cause
to complain when they see with
what consideration this government
treats the enemy and with what
little respect the friends of the re-
public are treated.
There has been an effort and a
disposition to ignore the negro in
this fight, Notwithstanding the valor
he displayed at Santiago, when the
Rough Riders made their charge to
death President Mckinley is in
duty bound to call his subordinates
to a halt and see that they treat
the negro with more consideration.
The treachery of the Spaniards is
too we'll known to this government.
Their butchery of innocent and
helpless Cubans makes them want
to resent not imaginary, but real
wrongs.
The administration may not be
party to the acts of discrimination
on the part of their subordinates,
but they are so glaring which
makes US believe these iniustices
are not perpetrated without the
knowledge of some one.

PINICHBACk is MAD.
From the Atlanta Age.

From the Atlanta Age.
I422 Bacon Street,
Washington, D. c. July is, 1898.
w. A. Pledger,
Atlanta, Ga.
Sir:-A friend has just shown me
your paper, the Age, in which you
give me a dirty dig. In view Of the
long years of our acquaintance and
the unbroken profession of friendship
YOU have manifested for me am COM
PEELED to exclaim ct tu brute!
Your unfriendly action is the more
surprising becau,e the least expected
and | frankly confess, pains me be-
yond expression. You ought to be
ashamed OF yourself.
Very respectfully,
P. B. S. Pinchbak.
The governor is off the track. We
are his friend. We would be glad to
see him in the U. S. Senate Indeed
we would be glad to see him Presi-
dent. We are not in the habit how
ever of recommending one of our
friends who is carpenter for building
brick houses.
We say now, as we said before that
old men like Pinchback, who knows
nothing about these latter days militia
ry tactics, have no business trying to
secure the command of brigade
where the lives of SO many men would
be at stake 1t is almost like giving
a child razor, recommending him as
fit to take charge of chair in barber
shop.
Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinch
back is no older than many Others
who have been appointed ia the
army. He is just as competent.
If what the Age says be true, The
BEE would have the same reason
for saying that Col. Pledger was
turned down because he is an old
mossback and anti bellion politi-
clan. Gov. Pinchback has as much
right to aspire to generalship in
the army as NJ. q. Butler of the
Hamburg fame, Wheeler and other
copper head democrsts had to be
appointed. Gov. Pinchback know
as much about military tactics as
many who have been recently ap-
pointed.

Art For Arts Sake.

Tt is very difficult thing to obtain adj
mittance to the beautiful residence of Rosa
Bonheur. Most of tho information printed
concerning the talented artist is supplied
by her friends, as strangers seldom get Il
chance of seeing her at work. One of her
friends has recently explained how it is
that there are not more of her pictures en-
the market.
Rosa Bonheur works very hard in spite
Of her ~ years. All round-on the win
dow frames, the little tables and the walls
are fresh studies. She literally piles mas
terpiece upon masterpiece, not to sell and
make money, but because she must work
and try to do something better than she
has done before.
At one end of her studio is an unfinished
picture, magnificent piece of work. 1t
has been in an unfinished condition for 20
years, yet she has standing offer of AGO.

"I prefer to work for myself. love art
for it's own sake. When / find that money
is getting low, do picture or two in or
der to keep things going and then con-
tinue in my own way"
The artist, as most people know, prefers
to work in male attire.-Strand Magazine.

when Admiral Cervera turned his vessel
to the shore and beached her. She was
blazing in score of places, but her guns
kept at work and the white flag never
showed until she was completely dis
abled.
The Oquendo and vizcaya were op-
posed by the Iowa, Texas and Indiana,
and went down to defeat with fearful
swiftness, covering only about half the
distance made by the Colon before their
captains rau them ashore. Their crews
fought with desperate bravery, but their
courage was no match for the courage of
our men added to their superb gunnery.
The Spanish shells went wild for the
most part, but the American gun fire was
marked by merciless precision. The two
cruisers, both on fire, were beached not
more than one quarter of mile apart
The most dramatic feature of the bat
tie was the contest between the torpedo
boat destroyers and the Gloucester. The
latter was struck several times, and is
the only American vessel reported dam
aged. AS the destroyers came out the
Glou cester fired upon them with her six
Founders, but they ran past her and en-
gagged the battleships. Finding the fire
too hot they turned upon the Gloucester
and fierce battle ensued until finally
both destroyers were afire and had to be
beached.
Their crews threw themselves into the
surf to save their lives. just before this
the New York came up and assisted in
in giving the finishing blow to the de-
stroyers. There was explosion after ex-
plosion from the beached vessels.
1t was at first reported that Admiral
Cervere was dead, but this was after
wards denied.

Yesterday.

Hong Kong, July 4.-The United State s
despatch boat Zafiro, which arrived here
early this morning from Cavite with the re-
port that the American troops arrived at
Cavite on June 80, reports also that Admiral
Dewey, when the Zafiro left on July l, was
planning to attack Manila with the fleet and
troops on July 4th.
In addition to the Spanish governor of the
Ladrones, the Charleston brought fifty
soldiers as prisoners of war to Cavite.
THE gunboat Hugh McCulloch captured the
Spanish gun vessel Leyte. Admiral Dewey
offered to parole the crew, but they declined
because they feared to be court martialled
and shot.

Spanish third class unprotected cruiser Don
Antonio de Ulloa, which was sunk at the
battle of Cavite, commands at Malate fort

for Admiral Cervera or some other high

Until today the possibility of exchang-
