a SOUTHERN SONG.


The following is from the facile pen of
Frank L. Stanton, who has a national
reputation as a poet. Mr.. Stanton has
for some time confined his versi6cation to
dialectic lines. He is a South Carolinian
and has always been identified with the
people of the South, being close to them
in sympathies and thought. As no voice
against the war has been heard in any
part of that section, we take his touch
ing stanzas to reflect the present patriotic
sentiment Of all Southerners:
REUNITED.
I've been thinkin' of it ever an it pears to
me to-day,
The wars the biggest blessin that has ever
come our way;
Course, thar'll be some fightin' an few
more graves IL be
Whar the daisies in the medder look their
purtiest at me-
For that's to be expected; but--the thing that
makes me feel
That the wars a heavenly blessin' is the
wounds that it'll heal!
The old wounds that's been rankin sence the
day that Gin rul Lee
Said we'd rest an think it over by that old
time apple treel
The old war tunes are ringin' an aDixie's'' on
the rise;
But Yankee Doodle folders fore it's half
way to the skiesl
An the old Star spangled Banner is in ever
steeples chime,
An tell you we're a-havin' Of hallelulia
timel
I m glad lived to see it, I'm glad the time is
come
When North an South we answer to the roll
call of the drum
When thar amt no line divides us. but North
an South we stan
For jest one common country-one freedom
lovin lam
That's whar the wars blessin'. that's whar
pears like see
A brighter mornin' breakin on the hills for
you an mel
It's shoulder now to shoulder-thar amt no
blue or gray
An we're shoutin' iHalleluia, an we're
happy on the way

Spanish Gunboat Taken.

Hong Kong The Americans have
captured tAe Spanish gunboat Lyete,
which was attempting to run de-
spatches into Iloilo.
A steamer is reported to have landed
six thousand rifles at Cayite for the
use of the insurgents.
The Spaniards have offered $4,000
reward for the head of Aguinaldo, the
insurgent leader.
The Spaniards at Manila are work
ing upon the fortitications, but their
guns are old and useless and they are
short of ammunition. Rear Admiral
Dewey has informed the authorities
at Manila that he will hold them re-
sponsible for the life of the captain of
the Spanish gunboat Callao, captured
BY the United States feet. The Span
iards have been threatening to shoot
him for surrendering, although con
fronted by the whole American feet.

IS 1T WORTH IT?

At the outset of this conflict with the
Spaniard there was considerable though
no organized opposition to its prosecu-
ton, the same being clearly reflected by
certain persons high in public life as well
as by small proportion of the newspa-
per press. We believe there is still an
undercurrent of objection in segregated
form in some parts of the land. But that
was the case in all our wars, from Lex
ington to Appomattox.
There have been offered variety of
explanations for this and they have ema-
mated from variety of sources. With
only a single class of those who may not
sanction the action of their government
in this crisis. however, do we choose to
deal just here, and that is with those who
possibly have been entirely sincere, and
possibly, also, pretty loud, in their pro
LESSONS of love for ssthe Union. /"
1t might be we'll for us all to remember
that this Onion is made up of forty
five coequal States cemented, supposedly
at least, by ardent ties of national devo-
ton, and that this must flow from the
patriotic accord of the citizens of each of
these States. This is a very different
union from one in which forty five States
should be figuratively tied together by
their tails and thrown across line! And
YET third of a century ago many of the
American States were arrayed against
each other in the bitterest war of history,
and after its close maleyolent ingenuities
were exhaustless of means to revive the
gradually disappearing scars and memo
ries that, we all knew, only the extremely
remote emergency of foreign conflict,
perhaps, could utterly and perpetually
Danish.
Now, altogether apart from the inter-
State problem, an unexpected foreign
war pregnant with national and endur-
ing benefit and glory is upon us; and we
are astounded to be told that there are
those who profess love and loyalty to the
country and yet are averse to this yindi-
cation of her dignity and honor We
point that the highest promise of this
struggle. whether we shall win or lose,
is of the compact and permanent unity
of ali the people of all these States; and
we dare ask any American, anywhere in
the world, to answer us, eandidIy, if that
end alone is NOT worth this war or half
a dozen foreign wars and if not, then
why not2

Memorial Day Cycle Races.

A fairly large crowd attended the first
meet of the Century Cycle Club at the

S]HLEY NOW At WORK.
Hammering away at Santiago's
Defences.
HEAVY SHOT FOR MORO.
Battered by Big Guns Smaller Ones
Shell the Shores.

The Firing Began at ZIP. NJ. and Was Kept
Up for Two Hours-The Forts Responded
in Lively Fashion, but Little or No
Damage Was Done to Our Fleet-The
Spaniards Say Cervera's Fleet Joined In,
but This Is Doubted-Great Excitement
in the City-Arany Cuban sympathizers
Hurried to the Mountains to Join the
Patriot Forces.
Cape Haytien, Hayti, June ga de.
spatch which has just been received
from Santiago de Cuba, says that the
American squadron, under command
of Commodore Schley, which has been
blockading the port for a number of
days, bombarded the Notifications,
the evident intention being to reduce
them in order to get at Admiral Ger
vera's squadron at anchor in Santiago
Bay
The American feet comprised four
teen vessels, including the Brooklyn,
the flagship of the squadron; Massa-
chusetts, Texas, Iowa, Marblehead,
Nashville, Scorpion, and two torpedo
boats.
The despatch says that among the
attacking vessels was one which
seemed to be the New York, flying the
flag of Admiral Sampson.
When the firing began many of the
men in the city whose sympathies
have been with the insurgents started
for the insurgent lines, which are but
short distance from the town, to
offer their services.
The fighting began about 2 o'clock,
when the signal to begin the battle
was displayed on the Brooklyn. This
seems to refute the statement that
Admiral Sampson was present, for
had he been with the feet he would,
by his rank, have been in command.
Owing to the height of the hill on
which the Moro Castle is situated at
the entrance to the harbor, it was i'm
possible for the Americans to run in
shore and elevate their guns to suf-
feient height to do any damage to the
old Notifications. Consequently the
big ships with the heavy rifles stood
some distance off shore, from where
they could pour in more effective
fire, while the smaller vessels, nearer
the shore, devoted themselves to at
lacking the sand and mortar batteries
on the short beneath the MORO.
The firing was apparently directed
principally against the Moro, the
Fort of La Socapa, on the opposite
side of the entrance, and Punta Gorda,
some distance from the entrance, but
which could be reached by an almost
straight FIRE from the sea.

Pompton Lakes, N. J.--At 10 o'clock
this morning the battalion of the Sec

change was made in a drenching rain.

Boosting that they have the distine-
ton of being the first volunteers to
see actual service, and with truth
they say they were the first to smell
powder. Indeed, they have smelled
so much powder that they have be-
come used to it. 1t is not known how
long the Jerseymen will be stationed
here. The fact that a permanent
oven of large capacity has been built
indicates that troops win remain here
for some time.

PUT OUT THE FLAG !

We can't all be heroes or statesmen, or
even soldiers or marines, but, bless as!
we can all be Americans.
In the civil war the flag did not always
signify purity of motive in the man who
Haunted it. We all know that mercenary
and sordid persons, selfish and unpatri-
otto tradesmen, and even disloyal parti-
sans, sometimes foated the stars and
stripes. OF course, that could make no
particle of difference in the high and de-
vout principle of allegiance that actual
ed the great masses who gave their colors
to the breeze. We were then divided
nation, there being no distinguishable
differences in personality as of friend and
foe, and it became needful to adjudge
the sentiments of individuals by the flag
they put out.
In this war that compuision does not
exist, and the act of hosting aloft the
ensign of the nation is but voluntary
form of outwardly expressing the warm
patriotic.sense we all inwardly feel. We
rejoice at the waving standards that fut-
ter from the homes and heights and stats
Of Morristown, but it would be proud
distinction for this historic township if
no matter how frugal the citizen or how
modest his banner Old Glory foated
from every structure in this American
bailiwick. Put out the flag!

Morris County Crop outlook


The report of Howard E. Young Of
Alton, Morris county representative on
the State Statistical Board of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, for the month of
May, shows that very little spring wheat
has yet been sown in this section. What
has been put in the ground, as well as of
oats, was sown very early. Excessive
wet weather has damaged low lying
pastures. The average condition of win
ter wheat, rye, oats, clover and peaches
is stated at 100 per cent, spring wheat
so, spring pasture go, and apples at rs
per cent. The following dates are re-
ported as proper in this county for plant
ing: Spring wheat, March 10 to April

Berlin, Germany An evidently in
spired article in the Post says: ut is de-
clared semi officially that the recent rumors
as to the transfer Of the Philippine Islands
to France or to Germany, or to their par
tition among the European powers with in
terests in the far East, have no foundation
whatever America is not yet in posses-
sion, it is true, and it is quite possible she
may never occupy them. But any laying
of hands on the islands at present would be
a hostile act against America, nor would it
be tolerated by the other Eropean powers
having interests there This utterance
may be taken as explicit proof that the
Continental powers have come to an agree
ment on the subject to await further action
by America.

THE SHOULDER STRAP.
From an exchange we clip:


There is one army regulation that never
changes. Other branches of the service have
been changed so that present customs are as
widely different from former ones sas to be al
most unrecegnizable From time TO time the
other regulations are changed and amended,
but this one. the mark of the rank of an
officer, is now the same as it was when the
first army uniforms were made in this coun-
try and when the present rank of the officers
was established.
During the last thirty years the change in
the firearms has made such difference III the
work of the army In the field that the march
ing order and the firing order of the men have
been completely changed, also the tactics of
the army in action. In all of the States they
have uniform that is peculiar to their State,
but in this it is always the same.
To the civilian on the street all officers look
alike. They wear the same style of coat,
made of the same stuff. Their stripes are the
same on their trousers. save now and then a
difference is seen in the color, and to all in
tents and purposes they are all alike. In
them, however, there may be the difference of
second lieutenant and the major general,
and the only distinguishing mark be on a little
strap on the shoulder and the marking on that
strap. While the army was in camp the officers
passed back and forth along the street and
none knew the difference save those Injured to
the life and the practices of soldier Majors,
captains and Heutenants were all the same to
the people whom they met, for they did not
know the difference, and it is safe to say that
one out of each ten did not know who was
who -

THE SECOND new JERSEY
An Interview with Governor
Voorhees,.

He Praises the New Jersey soldiers and
is Not in Favor of Promiscuous Enlist
ment of voiunteers-wim Urge Place for
Two Regiments.
When interviewed yesterday by
a representative of the CHRONICLE
Governor Voorhees, was enthusi-
astic in his praise Of the New Jer-
sey soldiers who had answered
their eountry's call The Second
Regiment, comprising companies
from Dover, Orange, Montclair and
Paterson. the Governor thought
embraced one Of the best equipped
that had been sent to the front.
All the professions and trades are
well represented, the members are
well drilled and their physical
condition is magnificent. The
Governor expressed himself as not
fayoring the proposed promiscuous
enlistment of volunteers to make
up the New Jersey quota under
President McKinley's recent call
for $4,000 volunteers. He will
soon see the Secretary Of War and
the President and urge that two
full regiments be sent from New
Jersey. This will send to the
front mainly well drilled men and
recognize regimental organization.
The Governor referred to the State
Camp at Sea Girt as being model
in every respect.
When the Second Regimen
was ordered to the front
on Wednesday only one mar
was in the hospital and he
and was able to go with his regi-
ment. With $500 troops il
camp, the greatest number 0.
men in hospital at one time was
twelve, and none of them serious
y i'll. The Governor, who has
given personal attention to every
detail at the camp, believes in tbs
old maxim that AN ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound Of cure
hence his attention to details con
nected with the welfare of the
soldiers.
