AMERICANS ATTACKED.
American Citizens I'm HAVANA Seek
Refuge in the Consulate.

Refuge in the Consulate.
intense excitement in that city over
the action of Spanish mob in attack
ing the American Consulate and riot
ing in the adjacent streets. Consul
General Lee reported the situation to
the state department at once as serious,
giving the details, and declared that
the mob had sworn to get even with
Americans for striking at the autono-
mist policy and the reconcentrados.
The president did not wis to act
precipitately, but the emergency de-
manded prompt measures.
Admiral Bunce was notified to hold
every vessel in readiness and to pre-
pare vessels at Key West for prompt
service at HAVANA.
1t is possible, however, that these re-
ports have been largely exaggerated,
but if they should prove true, as there
is good reason to believe, the Spanish
could certainly take no better means
of fastening speedy intervention on
the part of the American government,
and an early termination of the Cuban
horrors.
Referring to the rioting, General
Estrada Palma said: ''Just as long as
the Spanish flag is hoisted in Cuba.
there will be trouble. 1t may be that
the United States may wait a little be-
fore taking action, but it is sure that
the United States government is pre-
pared for any emergency"

MUTUAL LIFE SHUT OUT.
The Supreme Court Gusts it from Its

The Supreme Court Gusts it from Its
Corporate Privileges I'm Kansas.
The supreme court has rendered it's
decision in the quo-warranto proceed
ings, brought by Attorney General
Boyle, to GUST the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company of New York from it's
corporate privileges in Kansas, aud
from soliciting insurance business in
this state.
Chief Justice Doster delivered the
opinion of the court, and commented
particularly on the attitude of the de-
fendant in withdrawing from the state;
paying the cost of the action, and con-
tending that it was therefore not
within the jurisdiction of the court,
and that no order could be made re1a-
tive to its right to solicit business in
this state without license.
In view of this contention, the only
question before the court was the
proper order to be made, the p1eadings
being considered as admitted.
Judge Doster said: "It will be OBJ
served as the p1eadings now stand,
the defendant neither denies that it
was transacting business in violation
of law at the time the action was COM
menced, nor disclaims right, or a
purpose to again resume its business
in Kansas as soon as this action is
determined. 1t merely says it is not
now violating the law. In this state
of the p1eadings, the state is entitled
to such judgment as the facts stated
in the petition warrant

London, Jan. 15.-A London cores
pondent, quoting from the Civi1ta
Catolica, the official organ of the Pope,
declares that there is scheme on foot
in Rome for the establishment of an
Italian Republic, and in support of his
statement, refers to the Pope's Christ

that ''the co-existence of the vatican

iMMUNES.

The question has been often asked.
What are ''immunes," and why are regi-
ments of them raised? The volunteer
army is raised by being apportioned
among the States according to- popula-
ton, and The. Governor of each State
appoints the officers up to and including
the Colonies 1.-THE Generals being appoint
ed by the President) But there is an ex-
ception in that 10 regiments of I'M
munes'' are to be raised, directly by the
United States and Differed by the APP
pointment of the President. There is n
history and motive in this. Immune
means proof against disease" and on
the theory that negroes are less liable to
yellow fever than whites, the authority
was given the President to raise and
officer ten regiments, most of them to
be composed of negroes, by call
ing them ''immunes." The reason of this
was that it was thought land property
that no Northern State, and probably few
Southern, would raise any colored regi-
ments and this was method of giving
the colored brother chance by authoriz-
ing immune" regiments, he being the
immune" During the Civil War he was
called "contraband;" since the war Il
Fourteenth Amendment" and now he is
an 'immune" Anything for euphony.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
ANOTHER CAROLINA HERO
Cor. Asheville Citizen.

Cor. Asheville Citizen.
While we dwell with satisfaction anC
pride upon the exploits of our NORTH
Carolinians, Bagley and Hobson, dur
ing the present war, it appears to me that
amongst the Drawer acts that Of Lieutcn
ant Cameron McRae Winslow, command
ing the cable-cutting expedition at Glen
fuegos, has not received the notice it 1ner
tied. For / maintain, without detract
ing from another, that no more coura
geous thing has been done in this war, OF
any other, than that of Winslow, who
it is interesting to know, is also a North
Carolinian ON the side of his mother, who
was Miss McRae at Wilmington, n
c.
Let us not lose sight Of the fact that
WinsIow left the ship, in command OF
three cutters, under orders to sever the
three cables leading from Cienfugos
and that as he neared shore it was easily
perceived that Spanish infantry occu
pied it, protected by rifle-pits and armed
with that deadicst Of weapons, the Mau
ser rifle; that he proceeded under their
very muzzles until he could ''see the
whites Of their eyes" and for 40 min
utcs, within hundred yards of the enc
my. occupied with his men in fishing III
the cable, he sustained Il CALLING fire until
his work was completed and the two ca
blcs cut Let us not forget, either, that
these cables not only require to be crap
pied for, but to be brought up, and as
long section as possible taken out, 50
that finding the distal end would be next
to impossible in case the enemy should
attempt to again make the connection.
Having completed his work, WinsIow
returned to his ship with the dead and
wounded, having himself sustained a
serious wound in the hand. Think Of
being within hundred yards Of as
many, wicked Mausers, without hardly
even the opportunity to answer their
fire.
Given Six such weapons in the hands
Of deliberate men, neither Winslow nor
amy Of his command could have gotten
away4,aliyc. Bad Workmanship, aided
by the gins from the cruisers off shore
firing over Winslow's head, alone saved
thcm In this ease there was no fasci-
Mating vcnturesomeness about it. 1t re-
quired cold grit and nerve of the high
est order. and the honors should cer-
tainly- be equally divided by the three
North Caroinians, ut Cienfugos, Carde-
mas and Santiago Winslow, BagIey and
IIobson, boys of whom we may we'll be
proud.

nearest the administration have am

given plausible excuse for delay. This
has not been by accident but by design.
There has never been any intention to
send the troops to Cuba, and the in
genuity of the administration has been
taxed to find excuses to delay until
plenty of bonds were issued and the
next Congress was safely Republican.
Now that a big bond issue has been Sc
cured, the announcement is made that

the ceiling with festoons OF evergreens,
the windows with lace curtains and the
stage looked like handsome private

The reception committee consisted OF
the ladies of the Temple and the guests
We're met at the threshold and ushered
TO the dressing rooms, the warm greet
ing they received making them feel at
home at once.
The committee OF arrangements were
Miss Clara Finley, Mrs. Emma Klein,
and Mrs. p. Laveaga, and to their atten-
tion to details is owing much OF the
evenings pleasure.
Floor Director Mrs. W. c. Hall PER-
formed her duties with such success that
the waits were not noticeable and every
set was filled before the dances were
called. In Mrs. w. Neasham. Mrs. J.
b. Cunningham, Miss Edith Bellain and
Miss Clara Finley, were very efficient
floor r,anagers who took care to see that
all guests had agreeable partners and
pleasant time.
The grand march was led by'Mr. and
Mrs. W. c. Hall, and the figures were
nice Tie music by Casganett's orches-
ira was good and applause and encores
numerous.
The floor was very smooth, and
smoother in some places than others,
caused by new flooring, and dancers had
to guard against slipping.
The programs were printed at tie
DIsPATcn office in the best style OF the
printers art and We're very tasty and
stylish. There were twenty-six regular
numbers and four extras and it WAS 80
when the medley was reached.
The chicken supper gwen by the
Sisters was Il great success and the table
were loaded with deicacies and sub
stantials and the guests did ample
justice to the spread.
The affair was great social success
and financially it was all right.
1t is certainly pleasure to attend
such social gatherings as that of Frid; Y

pretty partners to good music amid eleg-
ant surroundings.
We trust that all will be permitted to
attend the seventh annual ball of Calan-
