Her Great Fleet in the Pacific.

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 20.-The British
fleet in the Pacific is to be strengthened 10
a considerable extent during the next few
months. The Temerarie, the first battle ship

fitted out at Portsmouth and will sail short
ly for Esquimaut, and the big cruiser
Warspie is also to be sent to join the Pa

with larger ones, the second-class cruiser
Arthusa being now on her way here to re-
lieve the third-claSs cruiser IcaruS. In the
south the battle ship Iron Duke is to be

One of Her Rescuers.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Evangeline
Cosio Y Cisneros, the young Cuban girl. is
soon to wed Mr.. Carlos Carbonel, the for
mer Cuban banker, who was yesterday
nominated by President Mckinley to be a
lieutenant on the staff of Major General
Fitzhugh Lee. When Karl Decker went to
Havana with the express purpose of liber-
ating Miss Cisneros, he found a trusted
lieutenant in the person of Mr.. Carbonel.
although, like Mr.. Decker, he was al tho
time unacquainted with the fair young Gu
ban. When the night of the rescue from tha
Havana prison came Mr.. Carbonel was at
Decker'S side during the entire affair. To
Carbonel was intrusted the duty and priv
ilege of accompanying the girl to New York.
Comparionship between the two natives CT
a common cline soon ripened into love and
the usual details of courtship followed, with
the result that the wedding will shortly take
place, probably before Lieutenant Carbonel
shall be ordered into the field, although no
definite time has been decided on by Miss
Cisneros, her guardian, Mrs. Logan. or the
grOOm-tO-be.

+ The reelection of School Superintendent
Goss, while it will not receive the approval
of all citizens. continues in the responsible
position a man familiar with the school
system OF the city and abundantly qualified
for the discharge of the duties of the office.
The opposition to him has been of per-
sonal character. no distinct charges having
been made against him in his school work.
The chief objection to Mr.. Goss and other
professional educators is that they have
been persistent lobbyists during sessions of
the Legislature. and lobbying is not voca-
ton calculated to inspire the respect which
those engaged in the work of education
should enjoy. BY attending to his school
work, for which Mr.. Goss is abundantly
qualified. he viii escape criticism and win
public confidence.

The Governor of North Carolina is re-

ard that he fears that State will be COM
PEELED to resort to a draft to get men for
its quota. The death of Ensign Bagley and
his funeral in Raleigh have caused some
men who were in camp to return to their
homes. In the late war the Confederates
had no better troops than those in the North
Carolina regiments. For this reason it is
fair to assume that the delay in filling the
quota is not due to fright, as the Governor
