Protesting Mood of the p nish Cabi

Madrid, September 30.-The cabinet
has decided to authorize General Rios
to grant reforms in the Vizayas is
lands on the lines demanded by the in
habitants n to concentrate his forces
at MindanaO, as there are only 45O men
garrisOning the ViZayas.
The Spanish ministers also decided
to prOtest to the government at Wash
ingtOn against the refusal of the Amer
leans to permit Spanish troops to be
ed, the insurgents are constantly re-
ceiving arms and cannon with which
to attack other islands (which the
Americans permit without even pre-
tending to Intervene"
The Spanish cabinet, it is added, will
%acquaint it's Paris commissioners with
these contentious in order hat they
may be used in the peace negotiations.
Finally, it is announced, the govern
ment here would inform the govern
ment at Washington that it has decid-
ed to send achievements to the Viz
ayaS and it has ordered seven batter
les of artillery in Andalusia to get
ready to start for the Philippine is
lands in twenty-four hours.
In addition to this, the cabinet will
repeat it's protests against the insur-
gents continuing 20 hold Spanish pris-

A FALSE CLAIM
General Gordon Speaks His Mind ON
Miss HIPS claim to He the .sDaugh.
ter Ofthe COnfederacy.,

Reynolds, Ga, September 30.0Gen-
eral John B.. Gordon, commander-in-
chief Of the United Confederate Vet
Grams, is at his plantation near here.
The general was shown the Associated
Press dispatch from Chicago, in which
Miss Lucy Lee Hill Gains to have had
the title Daughter Z the Confedera-
cy conferred upon + by her south-
ern friends since tn death of Miss
Winnie Davis
The general vas asked if the title
could be thus transferred and replied
with great earnestness:
"Emphatically no. Miss Winnie was
the only daughter of President Davis
born in the confederate White house
during the life of the ~confederacy. AS
JEFFERSON Davis was the only president
OF the confederate government, no
daughter of any other official could
truly represent the confederacy. For
that reason it woul not be appropri-
ate to call even the daughter of Cen
eral Robert E. Lee the Daughter of
the Confederacy.' To designate any
one else as Daughter of the Confed-
eracy would not only be inappropriate
and meaningless, but would deprive
the title of all its value. In the very
nature OF the case, no one except Miss
winnie Davis is entitled to be called
the Daughter of the C~onfederacy.'
That title was unique and peculiarly
her own and is very properly to be
placed upon her tomb. To designate
any one else by that title would be al
most a sacrilege. AS with Jefferson
Davis passed the title of president of
the Confederacy, so with Miss Winnie
has passed hat of Daughter of the
COnfederacy.'"

There are in the penitentiary proper
only 255 convicts. All the others are
on farms and railways. More are be-

are TO be discharged because OF expira-

"COm1Dg HOme.:
washington Messenger

And now the news comes from
Hyde that the populists are returning
home, and to the white mans party.
Our informant states: One of the
most rigid populists. who favored any
thing to beat the democrats, went on
a visit to his old home in BERTHE coun-
ty. While there he witnessed the ar
rest Of a white man by a negro con-
stable and his trial before a negro
magistrate. Another went to New
Bern last week and saw with his own
eyes what negro rule means. Both re-
turned home denouncing fusion and
proclaiming they are no longer pop
ulists. but members OF the white mans
party, and declare they will vote the
democratic ticket in November.

spoke in Martins opera hall last night
to a large and enthusiastic audience.
He talked the doctrine of white SUI
premacy.
Mr.. Aycock spoke for more than one
hour and a half and the whole audience,
which was composed of ladies and
gentlemen enjoyed it very much.
After the speaking closed quite a
number come forward and gave their
names for membership of the White
Mans Government Union, which were
gladly received.
The speech was fine and the effect
of it vas fine also.
Mr.. Arthur w. Whitley, of the
Jacksonville Times, of Jacksonville, n.
c., is in the town and is talking of
moving his paper from that place to
Mount Olive. If Mr.. Whitley should
come we would hope for his paper ev-
cry success as he has numerous friends
here.
Cotton is coming into this market in
