COLORED PEOPLE APPEAL.
Address to the North Carolina Lepis.
latHre Adopted.

There was Il well-attended meeting last
night of the Lincoln Emancipation League
at It's headquarters. President James w
Poe called the meeting to order at $40
o'clock. Prayer was offered by Rev Jas
Anderson, chaplain of the organization
James f. Parker acted as secretary.
On motion of Vice President Albert Tay-
Tor several new members were admitted
and Mr.. Joseph c. Hill was added to the
finance committee, Z. Brooks to committee
of arrangements, and James b. Honesty to
the committee on civic organiza tiOns.
After the regular work of the organiza-
ton was completed James w. Poe called
Vice President Taylor TO the chair and
made a few remarks to introduce an ad-
dress TO the two houses of the legislature
OF North Carolina. He did not approve of

troubles and election riots in the south. He
SAID they served no purpose but to intensity
those strong passions which brought on
these troubles, and that they did the color

The appeal was then read and J. c. Hill
spoke at length In support of the resolu-
tions. He thought they were conciliatory

lays great stress upon the enormous
amount of ammunition expended by the
Americans and the small results obtained.
He declares that the final result of the nu-
merous bombardments was that but one
gun was put out of action in the Morro and
one In the Socapa battery. The loss of life,
he says. was tritiing.
An interesting incident he notes was that
during one of the night bombardments an
American vessel playing her searchlight on

away IN the dark, was hit by a shot from
one of the old Spanish howitzers, without

Some of these guns, the writer says, had
charges in them when the battery was oc-
cupied by the Americans. and on firing off
these medieval cannon it was found that
their extreme range with elevation, was
500 yards.
The German commander advances a
theory, which he candidly states as en-
tlrely of his own construction, that Admiral
Sampson expended the enormous quantities
OF ammunition against the Santiago bat

DUE TO ATHLETIC SPORTS.
Physical Excellence of the American
Volunteer in the West Indies.

During the recent war the German pro-
tected cruiser Geier. Commander Jacobsen
was stationed in the West Indies, in the
vicinity of Cuba and was permitted to pass
in and out of the blockaded ports. The
commander of the Geier has recently en-
bodied his observations of the Spanish
American war in a series of Sketches .
which were published In one of the official
gazettes of Berlin. A complete translate n
of these papers is embodied in pamphlet
of the bureau of naval intelligence just
issued
Commander Jacobsen goes at some length
into the history of the war and the events
leading to it, and incidentally touches upon
Germanys interest in the extension of
American commerce through the West In
dies. He remarks. with Teutonic practi-
caiity, that the Spaniards might have
guessed in advance the outcome of a strug-
gle with the United States, and would have
done much better to compromise the quar-
rel for a substantial money payment in ex-
change for tl.eir West Indian colonies and
thus escaped the boodshed and humilia-
tion involved in defeat
The writer makes some interesting COM
ments upon the American volunteer army
and attributes large part of its physical
excellence to the prevalence of athletic
sports in American schools and colleges
He speaks in decided praise of the Ameri-
can navy, especially its personnel and
comments upon the facility with which The
American merchant marine was converted
into a formidable feet of auxiliary cruis-
ers He says this is we'll worthy of Eu-
ropean consideration.
The German commander was present ct
San Juan Porto Rico, soon after its first
bombardment by Admiral Sampson. and
comments somewhat severely upon the
bombardment Of the city without the pre-
vious notice customary in civilized warfare
In his comments upon Santiago he calls
particular attention to the deficient arrna-
ment in the land batteries, where the only
modern guns We're those taken from Ger
vera's fleet, and where many of the can
non in actual service We're misunderstanding
bronze guns, dating back to 1865 lIIS ana
1863.
MeaEer Spanish Defenses.
Regarding the defenses of the land side
he says authoritatively that the total num-
ber of troops in the Santiago trenches, in
was less than 5000. He censures the Span
ish commander for leaving this line SO
scantily garrisoned when many troops were
concentrated at the MORO, where they
could do no good. He praises the Snan
iards, however, for their stubborn defense
of their land lines, and concludes with this
statement: 'Officers and men fell in great
numbers with that courage which has ever
distinguished Spanish soldiers. When the
Americans finally succeeded in the sssault
they found the trenches of San Juan flied
with dead. and they buried these brave
Spanish soldiers where they had fallen ty
simply filling up the trenches with earth -
Commander Jacobsen puts the Spanish
loss during the attacks on Cauey and the
| city at eighty-four killed, 120 missing and
| 3T3 wounded.
TrfhinE Damage From Bombardment
The writer, being naval man, devotes
