OPENING OF THE SEASON.
The GOIdsbOrO Tobacco Market
Begins the Season UnG 3r
Favorable Auspices.
900 Pounds Sold To- day

From the Daily Argus of Tue sday.
This has been the biggest day
In the history of the Colds ooro
tobacco market, which is the be-
ginning Of the fourth set.son.
To-day had been fixed by the
managers of the different wares
houses as the lime to hold heir
opening sale. and the numbs r of
people who were present an | the
large amount of tobacco on the
floors gave evidence of how we'll
the ARGUS had advertised the
fact.
All during the day yesterday,
last night and early this morns
ing there was a constant st1 cam
OF vehicles loaded with tobacco
on all roads leading to Goldst ORC,
until the large and commoc ious
yards surrounding each are
house were packed by carts,
wagons and teams, aud the floors
of the warehouses we're CONS
pletely covered with hundreds of
piles of the golden leaf.
The scene on the wareh )use
floors, with long rows of bright
piles of tobacco reaching from
one end of the buildings to the
other. and the throng of bu 7ers
and visitors constantly mo Ting
to and fro, and with the bgh-
pitched voice of the auctio leer
continuously chanting the prices
that abruptly fell from the lips
of the buyers, was one to which
the people of this city were litter
strangers four years ago.
The many strange faces or the
floors of the warehouses that
were eagerly watching the stiles,
tell the story of the large ferris
tory from which the Colds ooro
tobacco market draws its patron
age.
The ball was put in motion at
the Farmers Warehouse, where
MI. J. j. Meador, their new auc-
tioneer, called out the 6rst bid.
This warehouse is managed by
Messrs. Haskitt & Carter. They
had about $50 piles on the floor,
which approximated $4,000
pounds.
The new warehouse, the P ant
ers' had the second sale with $50
piles on the floor, which TO )ted
up about $4,000 pounds. Me srs.
Harris & Faulkener are the BRO
prietors of this warehouse with
MIR. j. S. Lumpkins as auction
eer. They worked hard for their
patrons and everybody see med
we'll pleased with their sales.
The last sale was b~gun at the
old Goldsboro Warehouse a. -
o'clock, when a recess was te ken
until 2 o'clock and the sale was
finished. Mr.. S. W. Chambe: lain
is the proprietor of this ware
house this year. lie had ABOUT
400 piles on his floor, which
amounted to 30, 900 pounds. Mr..
c. B. Paylor is the auctioneer.
The opening break to-day on
this market is considered to be a
fine beginning by tobacco iaen.
The prices of good tobacco
ranged all the way from $3.50
to $31. 90, which was very s..tis-
factory to the planters. and es>
tablishes the claim of the Argus
that Goldsboro is the best tooac-
CO market in the State.
In round numbers the sales to-
day will reach the high marx of
80, 900 pounds. It is a larger
figure than had been anticipated,
owing to the fact that the opens
ing this year is several Jays
earlier than had been the case
heretofore, and both the ware
housemen and the large corps of
buyers stationed here were de-
lighted with such a big days
business.

She Desires to Turn Over the Re-
geAcy to the Infanta Isabel.
Madrid, June 19.-News concerning
the abdication of the queen regent of
Spain which was given by the Temps
without details was very half-hearted-
ly denied in the Madrid press. The
queen regent, much depressed by the
sad situation of the country and the
Spanish peoples lack of sympathy for
her, made up her mind fortnight ago
to renounce her rights and title as re-
gent in favor of Infanta Isabel, sister
Of the late King Alfonso Mi. This
princess, who is Spanish in heart and
mind, is much beloved throughout the
kingdom. The queen regent thought
that by yielding the regency to her she
would disarm the adversaries of the
existing regime and rally all the syn
pathies around the little king. She
summoned Premier Sagasta and elo-
queLtly laid the plan before him. 4
ministerial council was held, after
which all the members visited the
queen regent to beg her to give up the
scheme for the present. Premier Sa-
gasta was so persuasive that he OBJ
tanned the following reply from the
queen regent:
Il admit you are right. sir, but l do
not altogether give up my plan. 1
only postpone it,"

idea in Manila that the Germans have
something up their sleeves. In this
connection my correspondent writes as
follows:
'"rhe Germans are disposed to be

one another at dinner parties and
walking arm in arm everywhere.
There is no question about how the

DID FRIGHTFuL EXECUTION.
vcsuvius Given Chance to Prove

Vcsuvtus Given q Chance to Prove
Its Usefulness.
OFF Santiago, via Mole st. Nicholas,
Haiti, June II. = Historical will be-
come the work of destruction done bv
the United States dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius little before - O'clock last
night. Under orders from Admiral
Sampson the vesuvius let fly three
dynamite shells at fort standing on
headland on the western side Of the
entrance to Santiago harbor, and each
Of the projectiles did frightful execu-
ton. This was the first test of dyna-
mite cruiser in actual warfare. and
naval officers are highly gratified with
the results. In acquiring a dynamite
cruiser the United States government
established precedent and naval ex-
perts in all parts Of the world have
been keenly interested in it.
Admiral Sampson has been appre-
hensive about the strength of fort
situated on a point high above the sea,
west of the entrance to Santiago har-
Dor, which, he thought. was one of
two not entirely disabled by the bonn
bardment on June 6. To settle that
point and also to give the dynamite
cruiser fair opportunity to prove its
usefulness, Admiral Sampson issued
orders to the Vesuvius to shell the fort.
1t was eleven o'clock when the We
suyius stole up close to the entrance to
the larbor and sent three dynamite
shells in the direction of the fort. Ter
rifle explosions followed, each she'll
bursting on impact and playing havoc
where it struck.
The fort attacked was the most
powerful of any guarding the harbor,
| mounting several modern guns. In
the darkness the Americans could not
distinguish the point at which the
shells struck, but they are certain that
the projectiles exploded very near the
fort, if they did not actually hit it.
This good work by the Vesuvius was
followed a few hours later by equally
good work by the New Orleans. Capt
Folger, Of the New Orleans, reported
to Admiral Sampson that the Span
iards We're emplacing new guns east
Of Moro castle, and he was ordered to
make an attack on the defenses at
daylight. At dawn the New Orleans
took position within three-quarters
of mile Of the new Notifications and
gave the Spaniards the hottest ten
minutes they have experienced since
the war began. The range was found
at the first shot, and in minute the
crest of the hill was swept by hur-
ricane Of shells. In few seconds the
