 The people feel that if this is d de- feat. it is at any rate one which reflects honor rather than dishonOr on the Spanish flag: that the defense offered by the brave Admiral MontijO. cousin of Empress Engenie. is calculated to excite the admiration of the entire civ ilzed world. and such thoughts natur- ally tend to stir, every fiber in the pas sionate patriotism that blazes in the breast of the Spanish people.
 There is only one thought which now predominates. namely. that of aveng- ing the defeat. and this burning desire Is all the more strong since the publi- cation of the dispatches to the effect that the American ships made use of dynamite and petroleum bombs. which is asserted to be the cause of SO many of the Spanish ships having caught fire. as well as burning greater portion of the resident quarters of Manila during the course of the bOmbardment of the place. which is stated to have followed the captain-general's gallant refusal to surrender the capital to the American feet although after the destruction of the spanish squadron he must have re- alized that his continuance of the de- Tense of the town was merely a sort of forlorn hope.

THE MINsTRELs TO-DAY.

For twenty-four years the visits OF
Richards & Pringle's Famous Georgia

gala event, always clean. wholesome and
good. their name has caused the largest
theatres to be filled to overfiowing. This
season these gentlemen have combined
with RUSSO & Hollands operate Minis
trels and fairly eclipsed themselves in
organizing company of genuine colored
artists, culed from the ranks of the best
minstrel people on earth. Billy ker-
sands heads the list, and proper that he
should. This extremely funny colored
comedian has made more people laugh,
and perhaps receives the largest salary
of any comedian, white or colored, in the
world to-day The programme promised
will be on the old-time minstrel order, the
same as made minstrelsy so famous in
the past years, but which to n certain
extent. has been killed in later years of
japanese, Turks and other features en-
tirely new TO minstrelsy. Sweet South
ern melodies, beautiful music, dances
and witticisms make up a programme
which is bound to please and interest.
The company travel in their own special
cars and number over fifty people. The

cia boulevard traps, evening band con-

RALEIGH AND CASTOR TAX.
County Commissioners at Last Settle the
Vexed Question.

At last. after spending nine days in
hearing evidence and argument of coun-
sci. the county commissioners have deci-
ded the Raleigh and Castor Railroad tax
matter.
The decision was reached yesterday.
The stock owned by the Raleigh and
CASTOR road in the Richmond, Freder-
icksburg and Potomac Railroad. amount
ing to $4,000, is to be taxed for six
years back. This will put into the county
treasury at once S56S.02 or ,S94.61 for
each of the six years. Also the railroad
is to pay the cost of the investigation by
the commissioners.
1t was at first proposed to make tn
Raleigh and CASTOR Company pay tax on
its bonds as wen as its stock in foreign
corporations, amounting to about 81 600
600, but it was found that this could not
be done, as the bonds are offset by the
Indebtedness of the road.
The decision of the county cOmission-
ers was unanimous. and is as follows:
This matter coming on to be heard,
and being heard upon the notice, the
answer of the Raleigh and Castor Rail-
road Company. the evidence and argu-
ment of counsel, we find:
.'That all the stocks and properties
which are now sought to be put upon
the tax lists for taxation have been re-
turned to the Board of Railroad Commits
sioners for assessment and taxation and
that the same have been assessed by it
and taxes paid on the same since 1891,
and that the Board of Railroad Commits
sioners was the only body to which was
entrusted by law the power of appraise-
ment of said property for taxation, ex-
cept eighty shares of stock in the Rich
mond. Fredericksburg and Potomac Rail-
road Company, and that this stock should
have been returned to the list-taker of
Raleigh township for assessment.
1--WE, therefore, adjudgc that all the
items of personal property heretofore
ordered entered on the duplicate tax lists
be stricken from said duplicate tax lists,
and we adjudge that the same is not
liable for assessment and taxation for
any of said years, except eighty shares
of stock in the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad Company. This
stock we order to be placed on the dupli-
cate tax lists for 1893, 1894, 1895, 1896,
1897 and 1898. and value the same for
Sa1u year Ut NIV.OUO. anu lilstI tic 1dASS
for the said year be collected on this
assessment and valuation. And we do
not assess or value said eighty shares
of stock for any of tn years back OF
1893.
"We further adjudge that the costs of
this proceedings, including the per diem
of this board during its consideration of
this question be paid by the Raleigh and
CASTOR Railroad Company
The railroad company accepted the de-
cision and the tax, S56S.02, was paid yes
terday.
