perseded and Governor Augu.ti will
become virtually prisoner of war.
Under the joint supervision OF
General Merritt and Admiral Dewey
the captured Spanish Qualifications
will be placed in the best defensive
condition, and should the Cadiz
feet attempt to retake the islands it
will meet with a far different fate
from Admiral Dewey's expedition,
which eliminated in the great battle
OF May 1st. Before Soanish re-
endorsements can reach the islands
the formidable coast defender Mon
t,rey will have arrived in the harbor
OF Manila, and will be closely fol-
lowed by large number Of regular
and volunteer American troops.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT TO-DAY
has taken up vigorously the ques-
ton OF transporting troops to
Manila, and il further difficulty is
experienced in chartering vessels for
that purpose the right OF eminent
dom ain will be exercised, and such
vessels as are needed will be forci-
bly, pressed into service. The depart
ment is specially anxious to secure
the Tacoma and Victoria of the
Northern Pacific Company, and
negotiations suspended a few days
ago have been resumed for the
charter of he Ohio and Conemaugh
OF the Red Star line. A proposition
has been made to the Pacific NJ all
Steamship Company for the charter
ing of the China aud Colon, and a
counter proposition making the en-
gagement contingent upon the
granting Of an American registry to
these vessels is being considered.
Reports have been received upon
several vessels OF the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company and the White
Star line, aud it is probable that
ships of both companies will be
chartered. The department is dis
posed to treat the steamship con-
panies as literally as possible, but
will resent any attempt to take adj
vantage of the Governments neces-
stiles.

outcome Of the war with the United

WALKER POISONED.
Death of the City Convict eau sed
by Strychnine Suicide
or Murder.

Greenville News, 18th inst.
The finding of a bottle O,
strychnine Yesterday morning in
the pocket of Homer Walker, the
negro city convict who died the
night before in convulsions,
which attack was thought to have
been brought on by his being
placed in a cool cell after being
overheated, put new phase on
his death and clouded it in a mys-
terry which a coroner's investi-
cation failed to solve. The bottle
contained enough of the drug to
kill over a hundred men and there
was enough missing from tho vial
to kill about a score.
Walker denied to the last that
he had taken anything that might
make him sick, and when he was
placed IN the cell before he became
sick he was thoroughly searched.
he was visited at his cell by sew
eral of his colored acquaintauces,
and it is thought possible that one
OF these either carried him the
drug at his own solicitation OF
that the dose that killed him was
carried to him in 80 ne morsel and
the bottle slipped In his pocket tc
give the idea of suicide. Wher
he first became i'll he told Chief
Kennedy that he had made prom
lses to one woman and married
another and that he feared thai
the first woman had "hoodooed'
him, but he stoutly denied all tn,
way through that he had eater
anything in the cell that wa
brought to him by outsiders.
The inquest was held yesterda,
afternoon in the court house
where a large crowd gathered t.
hear the evidence in the hopes o
seeing the mystery solved, bu
the jury, after bringing out al
the evidence obtainable, rendered
this verdict: "We believe he cam,
to his death from dose of strych
nine given by whom we do no
know"

the course of conversation. Sem
ator Blackburn is authority and
said that General Wheeler is easi-

his came by marriage. Prior to
the Santiago campaign the ex-
Senator and General Wheeler
were discussing the war, past

his condition and hoped he would

DEATH OF MISS WINNIE

A YOUNG WOMAN THE
SOUTH LOVED.
1.-The Daughter of the Confed-

Final Rest.


Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of
Mrs Jefferson Davis, died at
noon to day at the Rockingham
Hotel, to which place she came as
guest in the early part of the
Piers social season. She had
been ill for several weeks, and a
fortnight ago her ailment was
diagnosed as malarial gastritis.
Mrs Davis had watched unre-
mittingly at her daughters bed
side, and she is now bowed with
sorrow.
Mrs Davis is holding up with
great calmness in her afliction.
and no fears are at present enter
tanned of her health yielding to
the strain.
HER LAST APPEARANCE.
Atlanta, Sept 1S.-Miss Win
ME Davis appeared in public for
the last time, it is believed, in
this city, on July 21st. The oc-
casion was the parade of ex- Con
federates, who held their annual
reunion this year in Atlanta. Miss
Davis was guest of honor and
occupied carriage with Mrs
Stonewall Jackson and Miss Caro-
Lewis Gordon, a daughter ce
Gen Gordon.
SOMETHING ABOUT HER LIFE.
Atlanta, Sept 1S.-Winnie
Davis, the daughter of the Con-
federacy," was born In the Con-
federate Executive Mansion in
Richmond, in 1868. She was
educated principally at home,
owing to the trouble surrounding
her father and the publicity which
all movements of the
Davis family. Miss Davis at
her maturity at Beauvoir,
Miss. She assisted her mother
in various ways and took her
place in the many social functions
of the place. She was her faith
er's constant companion. She
assisted him in all his work and
much of the time which was re-
quired by Mr. Davis in his writ
ings was secured for him by his
daughter. Her strong character
was marked from youth. She was
engaged to a MIR Wilkerson, of
Syracuse, n Y, but shol tly after
her fathers death the engagement
was broken off. While no public
explanation of the rupture was
given out, it is we'll known that
it was for the puspose Of main.
tanning her fathers name.
She received the name,
"Daughter of the Confederacy,"
in 1856, when her father made
his famous trip through the South.
Mr. Dvis being unable to appear,
Miss Davis was brought before
the thousands at the different
points along the route and intro
duced as the Daughter of the

Laurens, S. c., Sept 10th 1898.
To the Editor of The Greenville
News.
Please give me a little space in
your columns that l may say a
few words in reference to the
recent election.
In the first place, l desire to
thank my friends all over the
State for the many kindnesses
and courtesies shown me during
the recent campaign, and for the
large vote they gave me on the
3Oth of August and 18th Septem.
Der. From the bottom of nv
heart I appreciate their kindness
and support. l shall endc avor ia
SO conduct myself that my friends
will never have cause to regret
their support.
have made the best fight that
l could; l have made it upon the
highest plane of which L was
capable. When entered the
race / WAS conscious that 1 was
advocating what was right The
campaign has but strengthened
my convictions along that line
my conscience and skirts are
clear.
In the second place would
urge my friends and supporters
not to become discouraged. We
have made a good fight. We
have fought upon high grounds
and for the sake of principle. We
have nothing of which to be
ashamed. Better things are in
store for us in the future. Right
must and will triumph in the end.
Go to work in earnest for the
cause that you love, and in the
future good results are sure to
follow.
In the third place, let me urge
my friends to be true and loyal
to the incoming administration.
BY your earnest cooperation and
support it can be made better. 1t
Is your duty as good citizens to
stand by the law so long as it re-
mains the law, no matter how
imperfect it may be. We have
had enough strife and bitterness
in South Carolina. We must get
together and bolster up our Off
GERS and assist them in the execu-
tion of the laws. 1t is not the
part of good citizenship to abuse
and villify those in authority. On
the contrary the good citizen,
even though he may belong to
the minority, will, after he has
made his fight, rally to the sup.
port of those by whom he has
been beaten and assist them in
the discharge of duty.
therefore urge my friends to
throw aside disappointment and
prejudice and act as true Caro-
linians ought to act.
For those who have fought me
upon principle, who have been
fair and have used no improper
means, have nothing but the
kindest feeling. They have sim.
ply done what they had right to
do. For those who have fought
me from improper motives and
have used doubtful methods I
have no harsh words. They will
find punishment enough in the
