WHAT FL CANEY FIGHT FELT LIKE

From Harper's Weekly.
 The firing was incessant and general, that nearest sounding like never-ending strings of ire-crackers completely encrcling you, while 800 or 600 yards away it seemed as if the crackers had all been tumbled into bar rels It was easy to distinguish the sharp metallic crack of the Mauser from the crash of the Krag-Jorgensen voleys, which assailed the ears like continuous quick rip ping of linen. By noon there had come a lull, broken only now and again by the spteful report of some cracker that had not got off in the buch. We again noted the artillery fire al Fl Poso. We could also see that balloon, and surmsed what had started it, were much distressed by the very heavy rifle fire in the direction of San Juan.
 Meantime, our own artillery has auspi- ciously knocked the flagstaff off the fort, and put holes enough in it to make it un- tenable. That was the beginning of the end at Caney Gradually, slowly, but cer- tainly, the American lines drew closer and closer upon the town and fort and block houses and trenches. But the Spaniards were fighting desperately and making bold stand, as, indeed, well might they from behind earthworks and the double planking of blockhouses. One thousand Americans behind the Notifications of that little town could have stood off the entire Spanish army. There was no swearing no loud talking, no gesticulation; when the men had occasion to speak, it was with a strange calm. Every one of them realized he was performing the work of artillery; but, patient, good-natured, determined he kept drawing nearer the enemy. I took off my hat that day to the regular soldier, can tell you, and yet again to him and to the Rough Riders when 1 had heard the story of San Juan.

HIS LIBERTY.
The Court Also, While Declining to Order the
PeIease of Dreyfus, win Institute
Supplementary Enquiry.

Paris, October 29.-The Court of Cas-
sation has decided to grant n revision Of
the Dreyfus case, and will institute a
supplementary inquiry The court, how
ever. has declined to order the release
of Dreyfus. The decision of the court,
textually, is as follows:
'In view of the letter of the Minister
of Justice, dated September Goth, 1898;
in view of the arguments Of the public
prosecutor dcnOuncing to the court the
condemnation pronounced by the first
court martial of the military govern
ment. of Paris. on December 22nd, 1894,
against Alfred DreyfIls, then captain
of artillery attached to the general
staff; in view of all the documents in
the case, and also of articles 443 to 44G
of the code of criminal procedure,
amended by the law of June 10th, 1895,
relative to the admissibility Of an appli-
cation in proper form for revision.
"Whereas. the matter has been
brought before tho court by the public
prosecutor, in virtue of the express or
der of the Minister of Justice;
Whereas, the application comes with
in the category Of the cases contemplated
in article 443. and has been introduced
within the period fixed by article 444;
"Whereas, the judgment, revision of
which is demanded has the force of Il
chose jugee;
"Whereas, the documents produced do
not place the court in IL position to de-
eide all the merits of the case, and
there is ground for making supplement
tary inquiry.
For these reasons the court declares
the application to be in proper form and
legally admissible, and states that it
will institute a supplementary inquiry
and declares there is no ground at the
present moment for deciding on the pub
lie prosecutors application for sus-
pension of the penalty"
The judges of the court were occu-
pied for three hours and a half in con
sidering the judgment.
The decision created no public excite
ment and complete tranquility prevails
on the streets.

INAUGURATION OF GAMBLER.
Georgia's New Governor Warns Against
Policy of Expansion.

Atlanta, Ga, October 29.-Allan ID.
Gambler, was inaugurated governor of
Georgia at noon to-day. In the course
of his inaugural address, Governor
Gambler said:
Not content with the extent of our
magnificent national domain, we are
reaching out, thousands of miles, for the
islands of the sea, with their heterogen-
Gus populations, and there are those in
both political parties, who would reverse
the policy of more than century and
enter upon an extensive and expansive
scheme of colonization, which will neces-
state an immense standing army and Il
large and costly navy to be supported
by taxes imposed upon the people of the
States.
Our safety is in conservatism and Il
rigid adherence to the precedents of the
past This is especially true of the peo-
pie of the South. We should cling to
the constitutional right of local self-gov-
ernment, and oppose in every legitimate
way the constantly increasing tendency
of the agents of the Federal Government
to encroach upon the reserved rights Of
the States"

had been since he arrived from Havana

was 81 years of age.
Colonel Waring had been sent to Ha-
vana as special commissioner of this
Government to ascertain the exact sani-
tary conditions of that city, and to form
ideas for the best methods for putting
the place in frst-class sanitary shape.
He was to report to the President. and
on the day he returned he said that he
expected to go to Washington the next
day. He said he felt unwell, but it was
not thought he had more than an or
binary illness. He said that he had Il
great deal of information which he
thought would be of service to the Presi-
dent.

INSIDE HISTORY.
Candidate Jenkins Joined Crowd to
Down Butler.

OdIluluate JENKINS JOlneQ CFOWu 10
Down Butler.
Sheriff Jenkins, the candidate of the
Revenue ring for Congress in the ourth
district, is posing now as a silver man
and begging the anti-Pritchard Populists
to support him for Congress. He came
all the way to Raleigh to get Butler
to help him, and Butler, repudiating his
platform and his promises, turned his
back on Senator Atwater to support Il
man who had stabbed him in the back.
Mr.. J.. e. Spence, the MiddIe-of-the
Road candidate for clerk in Chatham, is
quoted by the Chatham Record us max
ing the surprising statement that Sheriff
jenkins had told him that Populist county
officers all over the State had combined
against Senator Marion Butler, and that
this had been done at the county officers
convention that was held at Morehead
City in July Of last year. 1t will be re-
membered that Sheriff Jenkins was the
president of that famous convention,
and of course he is the highest au-
thority for knowing what took place
there. The reason why these Populst
county officers combined against Butler
is very apparent They knew that But
Ter had denounced the last Legislature
and was opposed to further fusion with
the Republicans, and they knew full
well that the only chance for them to re-
tain their Offices, or to be reelected, was
fusion with or selling out to the Republi-
cans. This statement of Mr.. Spence
may throw some light on the nomination
of Sheriff jenkins in place of Mr..
Strowd, who endorsed Senator Butler

none but negro deputies, a white man
for clerk of the Superior court, who had
promised to appoint negro deputy
clerk, as in Craven county, would you
advise the white people of Madison
county to vote for that ticket?
Third. In Craven county there are
twenty-seven negro magistrates, three
negro deputy sheriffs, negro register of
deeds, a score of negro cOnstables, and
if the ticket nominated by the Repubi-
can party in that county is elected, there
would be in that county after election,
Il negro member of the Legislature, a
negro register of deeds, with negro de-
putieS. a negro treasurer negro
coroner, Il negro on the board of commits
SiOners, all deputies in the sheriff's Of
flee; all deputies in the clerk of the SUI
perior courts office, negroes-and this
ticket nominated by the Republican
party in that county, will be elected, for
out of the total vote of 1900 in that
county. there are $500 negro voters.
Now, if there were as many office-hOd-
ing negroes in the county of Madison
as there will be in Craven county after
election. would you say, as a man Of
honor, that Madison county did not have
negro government?
Fourth If this number of negroes,
holding office in the county does not
constitute negro government in that
county, will you please be kind enough
to tell the people of North Carolina what
number of negro office-hoders you
would consider necessary to constitute
negro government in a county in North
Carolina?

The plan of the commissioner was to

condition that the recurrence of yellow
fever and its entrance into the Gulf
cities of the United States would be pre-
vented.
Colonel Waring was apparently well

was then determined that he was suffer

be justified by public opinion. At the vati-

it is still belived there be no war.
