THE FIREMEN'S RESOLUTIONS.

The News and Observer is requested
by the officers of the Firemen's Associa-
ton, which met in Goldsboro last week,
to print the following resolutions adopt
ed by the Associations:
BE it resolved, by the North Carolina
State Firemen's Association, .
1st That we thank every railroad in
the State. with the exception of the
Southern, for courteSies extended to this
Association in the matter of transporta-
tion of men and apparatus to the an
nual Tournament. held in Goldsboro,
July 26. 81, 2S, 1898.
2nd. That a copy of these resolutions
he spread on our minutes, and given to
the State press. with the request that
they print the same. That in view of
the fact that the former rates We're
granted about a month ago and then re-
voked. only few days before the tour
nament, on the ground that they were
forbidden to do so by the Railroad Com
mission, coupled with the fact that the
chairman of the Railroad Commission
has announced that they knew of no
laws. and have made no decision against
the rates; and the further fact that the
same laws relating thereto are now in
force. under which the Railroads of the
State have since 1891 given these rates,
the validity Of which have never before
been even questioned, we are
forced to believe that the South
ern railroad is not acting in good
faith but is pursuing its present course
of action for the purpose of creating
public opinion against certain parties
whom they have long been fighting.
Bird. That we desire to antagonize no
man nor corporation, and are
acting in the interest Of no
man nor party, but we think
that the Southern railway has adopted
a strange way of repaying this AssOca
ton for the work done without any com
pensatiOn whatever, in saving for this
company thousands of dollars worth OF
property, sometimes at the very risk OF
our lives. together with the thousands
of dollars in insurance annually saved
for the Southern, on account of the pro-
lection this Association gives. t-
4th. That we condemn the action OF
the Southern railway in this matter and
will continue to do so as long as it pur-
sues its present course"
Also the following was adopted:
Be it resolved. by the North Carolina
State Firemen's Association.
l. That we have heard with surprise
and Indignation that after granting to
this Association the usual rates for men
and apparatus to the annual tournament,
the Southern railway has only a few
days ago, and after all arrangements
were made, revoked these rates, on the
grounds that they were unlawful, and
charged full freight on all apparatus,
Notwithstanding the fact that the other
railroads of the State have granted the
usual rates.

Sir: In reply to your inquiry, permit me
TO say that there seems to me one per
fectly well defined principle which justi-
fed the formation of this Government.
This fundamental idea is that any peo-
pie. geographically separate" have a
right to govern themselves. And this prln-
ciplc is treasured in the heart Of every
true American today just as strongly AS
it was at the time of our Declaration OF
Independence.
As it applied TO the thirteen colonies
in 1116 so it applies to the Philippine
Islands and TO Cuba today. Having res
cued these peoples from Spanish misgov-
eminent. we should see that they are
given every opportunity to establish Il
republic upon n sound basis. More than
that we must not do.
For rs to take upon ourselves the gov
eminent Of outlying colonies is only to
invite great expenses without adequate
return, and to furnish field for unscrup-
ulous political Adventures to enrich
themselves by misrue, the vitality of our
own nation being undermined by the cor
ruption funds which they would bring
back to. prevent investigation into their
wrongs.
This question has only to be discussed
to become perfectly clear to the mind
of every believer in our Republic.
Yours faithfully.

San Juan heights have fallen and the

Spanish valor had to yield to the bulldog

As I write. our troops are swarming up

troops have suffered severely. but the en-

Skaters troops. spent with the terrible
strain of yesterday had paused to-day long
enough to clear the field of its dead and

tention, that the president and his advis-
ers were made aware that the battle was
still in progress and still without definite
issue. As it was. the few words relieved
the suspense. but not the anxiety. 1t made
known only that the fight was going on.
One of the officials who read it said it
conveyed as much hopeful information as
could be expected, for, he said, he had not
expected victory yet. But others were
far less hopeful in their views, That the
battle was still raging meant thst our men
were passing through a fearful ordeal, hav-

WASHINGTON. July 2.-The commits
sion at Camp Aiger appointed to investigate
conditions In the quarters Of the New York
cavalry has reported that four Of the men
suffering with typhoid contracted their ILL
ness before leaving home. and that the
other four cases were caused by drinking
unboiled water while on practice marches
and orderly duty about the camp.
The commission reports that the drinking
water used by the cavalry is neither boiled
nor shipped from New York. Notwithstand-
ing this report. 1t is said there Is much
dissatisfaction In camp. and especially as
eight new cases of typhoid have developed.
The court-martial recently appointed has
tried Max Freedman, Of the First division
hospital corps. charged with sleeping on
guard. Freedman has good record and
says he was on guard 1ss hours. Private
James Miller, Company K. Seventh Ohio,
was tried for assaulting an officer.
1t Is said that his offense can, at most.

1t is said at the war department that the
estimate of killed and wounded first made
by General Shafter was more likely to be
under than over the real loss, as the dense
growth of chaparral in which the Ameri-
can troops fought made it we'll nigh i'm
possible at first to learn the extent of the
loss. An impressive seriousness pervaded
the military centers. The news that our
gallant men had pressed their way, foot
by foot, up to the commanding plateau of
Caney was welcome indeed. but there was
now the full realization that this had been
done in the face of whitening fire.

During the afternoon sensational ru-
NOR gained currency that radical changes
in the plans for the occupation of Cuba
We're likely to be adopted by President
Mckinley II can be said upon the highest
authority however, that nothing of the
kind is in contemplation. 1t is probable
that the story was due, in degree at
least, TO a long conference held during the
afternoon between Secretary Alger and
Major General Miles. The conference led
TO the report that General Miles was to go
Immediately to the front, probably to su-
persede General Shafter in command of
formed the Associated Press emphatically
that absolutely no change was to be made
in the Cuban plans or was even in con-
temptation.
Another prominent official of the war de-
partment characterized the rumor that
Shafter was to be superseded as an in
justice to one of the finest officers the
army ever had.
The intimation that General Miles may
soon leave Washington for some point
where action is expected is likely to prove
I true, but as yet it IS nothing more tangi-
bic than a rumor.
| 1t is the very evident purpose of the
war officials to send more troops to Cuba
as soon as possible. In response to a mes
sage sent to General Shafter two days
ago, a reply was received that the trans
ports now off Santiago would be sent back
to Key West at the earliest moment. The
transports are needed to convey the ad-
ditional troops to Cuba-troops that are
evidently intended to reinforce Skaters
command.
Word reached the marine hospital serv-
ice to-day that a suspicious case. possibly
one of yellow fever, had developed at the
naval hospital at Key West, the patient
being sailor from the auxiliary ship
Yankee. The facts were reported to the
department, and an inquiry was at once
Instituted by the surgeon general of the
navy. He is not apprehensive on the sub,
!ject, as the latest reports from the hospital
show no evidence of yellow fever. and II
is probable that the case is nothing more
than one having suspicious symptoms.
