BOARD OF STRATEGY.
PRESIDENT WILL DISPENSE
WITH 1T.
So Says a Confidential Friend of Nc
kjnley-Army and Navy Chiefs
will Formulate Plans of Cam
paign With the President.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-A conf
Dental friend of President Mckinley
said this morning that the President
would abolish the Board of Strategy
and that hereafter the Army and Ma
w Chiefs would formulate their own
plans of campaign in direct COM
munication with the Commander-in-
Chief. This action is said to be the
result of McKinley's dissatisfaction
with the dilatoriness and general in
efficiency of the present Board. This
friend declared that the President has
always advocated vigorous war pol
icy, but he has been frequently ham
pered by the red tape of the alleged
strategists.
He asserted further that the appoint
ment of celebrities sons to important
commands has been violently opposed
by the President, but was forced upon
him during the hurry of preparations
by the pertinacity of politicians. The
friend prophesied that silk-stocking
Brigadiers will soon be side tracked
and supplanted by trained leaders.
His official position makes it impossi-
BILE for this friend to cosent to the
publication of his identity.

FOR THE SOLDIERS.
International Committee of ". NJ.
G. A. Spending $4,000.

The International Committee of the
Young Mems Christian Associations
is spending $40, 200 in establishing
Association works in the camps where
the United States soldiers are mobil-
lied. The plan of the committee is to
locate one or more tents in each camp,
with experienced General Secretaries
in charge, who will keep the arrange
ments in order, conduct the gospel
meetings and do personal work. The
tents will be equipped to offer the sol
diers a reading room, with daily pa
pers, magazines, and other periodi-
Gals; games of skill and other recrea-
tive sports: facilities for correspon-
dence; entertainments, music, and as
many other social and religious priv
ileges as possible, the aim being to
make these places of resort home-like
and attractive to men and surround
them with wholesome and uplifting
influences,
Permission and the hearty endorse
ment of the above plan of work has
been given by the officials at Wash
ington, and it is believed that much
good may be accomplished thereby.
That the work is important is evil
denced by the amount of money which
conservative business men put into the
special field.

POPULlST CONVENTION.
Elects Delegates to State Convention.
Resolutions Adopted.

The Populists held their convention
| in the courthouse Saturday and elected
delegates to the State Convention to
be held at Raleigh on Tuesday. The
attendance was small. The conven-
ton was called to order by County
Chairman J. N. Pfaff. Mr.. ]. j.
Marshall was called upon to preside
over the convention and Mr.. A. T..
HaneS to act as Secretary.
Messrs. F. n. Pfaff and j. w.
Spease were chosen delegates to the
State Convention and Z. L. Pfaff and
J. ]. Marshall alternates. The Coun-
ty Chairman was requested to look
after the organization of each town
ship before the next County Conven-
ton. The following resolutions met
with a hearty endorsement:
Whereas, The money question is the
vital question of the day, even in the
presence of war and all its consequent
horrors, it will remain the vital ques-
ton, for the expressions of the money
power have entailed more misery than
any war can bring. The present war
is local in its character as all other
wars have been. But this money fight
is worldwide and all humanity is en-
gagged in it; and
Whereas, 1t seems to be the determi-
nation of the money power to fasten
the single gold standard perpetually
upon this country. Therefore
Resolved, That we, the Populists
of Forsyth county, in convention as
sembled, do reassert our allegiance to
the cause of bimettalism and all other
conservative expansions of our cur
rency.
End, That we heartily endorse the
course of Hon. Marion Butler, the
recognized leader of the Populist
party in this State and Nation.
Bird, That we approve of the action
of the majority of the Senate Commit
tee in recommending the issue of
legal tender treasury notes and coinage
of silver to meet the necessities created
by the war, in lieu of issuing interest
bearing bonds, to remain a burden
upon the people after the war is over,

GEN. MERRITT's REFUSAL.
His Words the Subject of Adverse
Criticism.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Leading
officers of the War Department are
unwilling to make statement regard
ing the refusal of General Merritt to
lead the expeditionary forces to the
Philippines unless more of the regular
troops are assigned his command. 1t
is regarded as not impossible that the
matter will be made Il sharp contrO-
versy by the Department. None of the
officials are prepared to say what ac-
ton will be taken. There was an I'M
der current of criticism at the Depart
ment this morning concerning Mer-
ritt's declaration and the comment was
made that whatever he thought he
should not make remarks publicly nor
was it exactly right what he said
about the character of the forces
that should be placed at the disposa al
of the expedition. 1t is understood
that Merritt really wants command at
Cuba or Porto Rico.

THE TOBACCO TAX INCREASE
Winston Manufacturers Prefer Retro
active Clause to 16 Cents.

Winston Manufacturers Prefer Retro
active Clause to IS Cents.
The Winston tobacco manufacturers
are stirred up over the report from
Washington that the tax on tobacco is
to be increased to 16 cents. Many of
them prefer the retroactive clause
rather than have the tax made over II
cents.
A special from Washington says
that Senators Daniel and Martin, of
Virginia, and Senator Dritchard, of
North Carolina, are fighting both the
proposed advance to Ii cents and the
retro active feature. Senator Daniel,
who is on the committee, is strenuous
ly opposed to both, and is making a
strong effort to have them defeated be-
fore the bill is reported to the Senate.
The two Virginia Senators will carry
their fight into the Senate, and make a
powerful effort to defeat these propo-
sitions, SO obnoxious to the tobacco
trade of both Virginia and North
Carolina. Senator Pritchard will be
with them against the retroactive feat
ure, but may possibly be forced to
vote for the Is cents tax as party
measure. This is, however, not GER
tain.

CONSUL JENKINS WRITES.
Many Greeks Want to Come to Amer.
lea to Fight.

Consul Robt. Jenkins, of Patras,
writes that many Greeks in his Con-
sular district want to come to Ameri-
ca as volunteers. He says: "These
stalwart sunburnt fellows from the
mountains, dressed in their native pic
tureSque costumes, come to my Office
frequently, and want to be sent across
at once G. o. D.
ga regiment of Euzones would be
very conspicuous in our army, and l
believe they would put up good fight
when under foreign control.
America to many inhabitants of
the mountain districts of Greece is a
great country far, far away, on the
other side of the world; and they pic
ture themselves returning from those
distant fields of battle, honored vol
unteers, with an olive wreath pressed
upon their brow.
These same chaps put on great
deal of swagger about year ago,
when their own country was at war,
but they didn't do much. However,
no matter how vague their ideas are
of America, or what they have accom-
plished in the past; thanks to them
just the same for their offer to serve
us, because they do it cheerfully."

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Correspondent London Graphic I'm
prisoned by Spaniards.

OTTowA, May 1.-THE mystery
concerning Freeman Halstead, the
young Canadian. reported to have
been seized and shot by the Spaniards
at San Juan, while acting as cores
pondent for the London Graphic, has
been solved. When the news of Hal
stead's arrest reached Canada his
adopted parents communicated with
Mr.. Henderson, member of Parlia-
ment, and asked him to bring the case
to the notice of the Government. Hen
derson interviewed Sir Louis Davis.
Davis was prepared to sympathize
and cabled the British Consul at San
Juan, for information. Davis yester-
day received the following reply ::
''Halstead was arrested for photo
graphing forts. He was tried by
court martial and sentenced to nine
years Imprisonment. Efforts are being
made to interest impartial authorities
in behalf of Davis, with a view of OBJ
tanning a mitigation of the sentence. :"

KINGSTON, May 1.-THE Cuban
provisional government has decided
that it's sympathizers should evade the
cities. Blanco will try vainly to
establish an order forcing into the
ranks of volunteers all males between
fifteen and forty-fve years of age.
Refugees who arrived here by the
French steamer Fulton, from Havana,
say the Cubans in Havana are joining
the volunteers by thousands. Spain
is thus arming her enemies, who will
be ready to rise at an opportune
moment and strike a telling blow.
Eggs in Havana were selling at ten
cents a piece, meat at fifty cents a
pound and -four at thirty cents a
pound when the Fulton left.
