Of the island. The rebels In arms
who have been fighting for three
wears for the independence OF the
island will consider themselves
the rightful governing class.
THE autonomists, who have been
agitating for many years the
question of home rule. Will de-
mand a share in the responsibili-
ties of the power. The Spanish
element. from which the volun,
teer force is recruited, will insist
upon being represented in the
new government. The Jealous
ness and strife of these factions
will make the establishment of a
stable. trustworthy government
in Cuba most difficult under
taking. This is characteristic OF
most of the governments in Span
ish America. In one country
after Another there have been
revolutions, political feuds, mil
itary conspiracies and constant
turmoil. 1t is not likely thai
Cuba, if left to herself, will be
an exception to the rule. Ye'
m eddling with politice in thai
country, after the war is over
would mean certain death to any
political party in the United
| States. Once freed the Cuban'
must shift for themselves.

Senator Allen. of Nebraska,
has the correct view of the ques-
ton of appointing officers for the
volunteers. Having learned that
his 2O-year-old son had been
made a Lieutenant Colonel of
volunteers, he compelled the
young man to resign, his expla-
nation being that he was unwill-
ing that the boy should be given
preference over others merely
because of his political influence.
The Senator, in discussing the
matter, said that he had advised
his son enlist as private, and
added: eff the boy shows him
self capable he can rise from the
rrnks by merit. But [ shall not
permit him to go in as an officer
before he proves to the satisfac-
ton of his companions that he is
entitled to the place"

come of which, although it has
not been publicly announced,
was that Bryan was appointed
colonel of the regiment and given
his commission. Adjutant Gen
eral Berry at once issued the first
general order in the history OF
the new regiment. 1t was ad-
dressed to the members and OH
GERS urging them to drill per
feet their organization, and be
ready for the call to mobolize IN
this city.
Later news from Washington
was to the effect that mastering
officers would be sent here in the
near future and the regiment
sworn in and ordered to Sar
Francisco, where the First, OF
this city, under Col. Bratt, is al
ready located.

The daring feat of Lieut.. Hol

The daring feat of Lieut.. Hob
son and his volunteer crew is in
every ones mouth. 1t will doubt
less be recognized by the Navy
department in giving promotion
to the gallant officer and the men
who accompanied him. 1t is not
ed with much satisfaction that
there were 400 volunteers for
this forlorn hope expedition, and
that the bravery of those who
composed it and who, through
shot and shell from the Spanish
forts, accomplished this object,
won the admiration of the navy.
The point at which the "Mer-
rimac" was sunk, broadside on,
in the entrance of the harbor,
effectually blocks the way to the
egress of the Spanish fleet and
cages Admiral Cervera's squad
ron. Admiral Sampson cables
that all the Spanish ships are
within the harbor, and effectual
ly disposes of the misleading re-
port purposely sent from Mad
rid that the fleet never entered
the port but was peacefully pur-
suing its way to the Philippines.

The outlook for the summer

The outlook for the summer
girl of 1898 is gloomy. An ex-
odus of men has begun. The
gold fields of the Klondike are
attracting the adventurous and
the hardy. They go for the sake
of gold. The Southern and
Western coast of the United
States are swarming with sold
iers who are eager to get to the
front. The summer girl is left
alone. 1t seems likely that she
will enjoy her ribbons and laces
and pretty draperies in solitude
this year.

Admiral Cervera bottled up in
Santiago harbor, baffied in an at
tempt to escape and the forts
that protect him being battered
down by the ships under the
command of Commodore Schley,
and Admiral Sampson, who has
divided his squadron, taking the
heavier part before Santiago
while the other part is engaged
in conveying American troops to
Eastern Cuba and Puerto Rico, a
Spanish fleet more phantom than
real fitting out at Cadiz and said
to be destined for the relief of
Admiral Cervera, who is now
more effectually beleaguered than
Blanco himself such seems to
be the situation to date. 1t is
now more than two weeks since
Admiral Cervera took refuge
with his fleet in Santiago harbor,
entered a harbor that has served
him as refuge and prison, and,
perhaps, tomb, as well, says the
American. That he should have
thus deliberately chosen a refuge
where he could be so readily
trapped, refuge from which
there was little chance he could
ever emerge save to his certain
capture or destruction, seems to
bear but one explanation. And
that is that he was in dire need
of refuge, and that his choice OF
refugees was very poor. That he
was driven to take refuge in San
tiago by the want of supplies
seems quite certain; that he die
not there find the sought after
supplies is more than likely. In.
deed, we have apparently trust
worthy reports that the towns.
people were keenly disappointed
on his arrival when they discov
ed that his fleet was not the
bearer of supplies to them.

ed wretches been familiar on the
streets and now it is likely thai
the people are in a state of semi
starvation. And such town is
a poor place to search for pro
visions. Even the appropriation
of the stores of food for the use
of the soldiers in the PROTECTING
forts and the sailors of the ships
thus leaving the inhabitants des
titute, is not likely to yield al
abundance of supplies for those
under arms. And as poor as
Santiago has likely proven tc
Cervera as place to re- provis
ion his ships it is not improbable
that it has proven even poorer
as a place for recoaling them; i
is probable that Admiral Cervers

A good deacon down in Kan
sas the other day, in order to do
a little something for patriotism
and please the Sunday school of
which he was q leader, went to a
store and purchased several bun
dies of small flags for distribu-
ton to the pupils on the follow
ing Sunday. Great was his sur
prise on unrolling the bundles
when the hour of distribution ar
rived to find that each little flag
had this printed on it: ITO hell
with Spain, Remember the
Maine" The deacon concluded
while those were his sentiments
he did not think the inscription
was just the thing to give out il
Sunday school, so he hastily put
the flags out of sight and an
nounced that the little patriotic
display he had planned was post
poned for one week.

OFF TO THE WAR.

II may be due to the fact that the Uni
ted States government has declared war
against Spain, and to the fact that our
certificates contain no restrictions or for
FIXTURES on account of the war or riots;
that THE CAROLINA BENEVO-
LENT ASSOCIATION has, within the
past two or three weeks, made such won
derful strides. OF course, we don't
write volunteers to the United States
Army, but if we issue a certificate of in
surance and the insured afterwards vol
unteers in the Army it does not Vitiate
his contract. Two agents in small
town of less than 5000 people sent in
90 applications, the result of about four
days solicitation. This is truly encourag-
ing TO the promoters of this benevolent
and cooperative plan of insurance, and
it is a good proof that the intelligent peo-
pie of this State are anxious to foster n
meritorious industry. We are not dis
posed to fool anybody and we desire to
state in the beginning that this is an
Assessment Life Insurance Company,
but we wish to say in connection with
this that all assessment companies are
not fakes and failures. To the detriT
ment of our company, some in the past
nave proven 10 Dul Is IiO SEedltF
records of fakes and failures in the iu-
Surance world among the assessment com
panes than there is among capital or re-
serve companies. The truth is that all
life insurance companies are assessment
companies. The only difference lies in
the amount of assessment and what it is
for. ANY man of intelligence or expe-
rcnce is bound to admit that the cost of
insurance is composed of three principles.
The Mortality, the Expense, and the
Emergency or Reserve Fund. The NOR
tality of all the companies is the same
where like precautions are used. The
main difference lies in the expense and
the amount set aside for the emergency
or reserve. THE CAROLINA BENEV-
CLIENT ASSOCIATION openly de
clares that only n sufficient amount of
the peoples money should be put aside
to guarantee the full payment of every
just claim submitted TO the company.
The experience of other companies show
that we carry that amount. The expense
fund is limited in the charter to $500
per thousand. We propose to put this
cheap, solvent and equitable plan of in
surance within the reach of every cligi-
BILE man and woman in this section.
