ran her down and put shot across her
bow from the four-inch gun on the port
side aft. The Spaniard ignored the
shot, but another closer to her bow
brought her to. A prize crew was put
aboard. Capt. Lucarraga, in command
of her, was astounded. He said he did
not know that war had been declared.
but when he was informed of the state
of affairs he accepted the situation
philosophically. The Nashville towed
her prize into this port.
The Nashville has taken on stores

The Spartanburg Herald published
this interesting sketch Of Methooism
at Campobello: The fourth quarterly
conference for Campobello Circuit
was held in Inman Methodist church
November 5th and embraced a three
DAYS meeting. Rev. a. ]. Cauthen,
the presiding elder, was present, and
in his usual pleasant and business
like manner presided. Prof. Chas. B.
Smith, of Wofford College, was also
present, and preached Saturday
morning and night and Sunday morn
ing to appreciative congregations.
The Lords Supper was administered
after preaching Sunday, all the con
gregation remaining until after TINS
solemn sacrament. The Campooello
Circuit consists of six churches with
Rev. S. a. Nettles, pastor. This is
his second year on this Circuit, and
his report was said to be the best in
the history of the work. During the
two wears two churches have been
completed and dedicated, and third
has been much improved. Five sun
day schools are. in operation; l34
members have been added to the
church, and "a infants have been
baptized. The financial reports show
an increase Of about so per cent on
pastors salary and about 40 per cent
increase on the various benevolent
collections. Heretofore the Circuit
has been renting a parsonage at
Landrum, but the indications are
that early in the coming year a par
sonage will be built, and majority
seem to favor its location in Campo
bello, which is in the centre OF the
Circuit. Our Methodist friends are
making decided progress in this part
of the moral vineyard.

Washington Letter.
From our Special Correspondent.)


Washington, Dec. 10.-It is said
that, while the President favors the
famous New York lawyer, Joseph
Choate, for the vacant ambassador
ship to the Court of st. James, no
appointment will be made until the
treaty of peace with Spain has been
signed; and, should no complications
arise, it is said to be the purpose of
the President to nominate Mr.. Choate
for this important foreign mission.
If, however, any serious compllca-
tions should arise, it is thought that
Andrew D. White lat present ambas-
sador at Berlin) will be transferred
to the British Court because OF his
peculiar fitness for that delicate and
important mission. Mr.. White has
studied the European situation for
years and is supposed to be one OF
the most accomplished diplomats ID
America.
It is said that Senators Hanna and
Elkins, together with the Rockefel-
lers, have planned q master scheme
by which they hope to turn an os-
tensibly public enterprise to private
account in way that will put a few
more millions in their private purses.
The scheme is to secure of Congress
enormous appropriations for the I'M
provement of the harbor and water
front around Cleveland, Ohio, with
the ultimate purpose of making that
city the commercial metropolis of the
Great Lakes. the most important
shipping and railroad terminus OF
the Northwest. In other words, by
and through Government subsidy,
to make Cleveland the successful RI
val of the robust and thrifty Windy
City The first premonitions of this
sinister gigantic purpose and deep
laid scheme came 80 the surface when
it became necessary TO select q new
chairman of the House Committee
on Rivers and Harbors, to succeed
Mr. Hooker who resigned his seat in
Congress to accept a seat on the New
York State bench Mr.. Cooper, o.
Wisconsin, was the second ranking
republican member of that commit
tee and, according to all precedents
should have been the new chairman;
BUT Senators Hanna and Elkins made
such an earnest determined effort
upon Speaker Reed in behalf OF the
appointment of the man whom they
had selected for the purpose OF sub
serving their designs that Mr.. Reed
demanded an explanation OF their
