Surely None in Clarendon z

The MANNING TIMES says: "The
Florence Times intimates that money
was used to Influence many trustees
into signing the pay warrants of the
now notorious maps and charts. We
do not believe there is any just cause
for such a suspicion, but we do be-
lieye that it took moro than the mer-
its OF the maps and charts to obtain
the recommendation of the officials
who supplied the canvassers with the
deceiving credentials"
The evidence which We and other
papels in the State have produced
render intimations in this matter un-
necessary. We have heard from
number of men to whom money was
offered, but these refused it. We
want to find out if money was offered
to anybody who took it.-Florence

RATTLE OF MANILA.

Twelve months ago the great naval
battle took place in Manila bay. 1t
was on the first day of May that
Dewey astounded the world by his
wonderful success in destroying Mon
teio's feet, without losing an Amerl-
can sailor or an American ship. 1t
was Dewey's guns that planted the
Stars and Stripes on Asiatic soil, and
by doing so placed the United States
on the list of world powers. 1t was
magnificent feat OF arms, and IN the
language of Tic Charleston Post:
sThere are some who say the Manila
triumph was small affair, and that
Dewey S victory was foregone con-
clusion of the engagement. Such is
the view expressed by some Germans
now. But when Deweys squadron
sailed from Hong Kong for the Phil
ippines, the German officers at that
port, with nearly all others, regarded
the sally as rather desperate affair,
for the Americans And we must be-
Gin our consideration of the exploit
at the point of sailing from Hong
Kong, not from the time when the
Mccullough returned to the English
port with news of the victory. 1t is
clear enough now that Dewey was
sure to win, but who would have said
as much when the commodore sailed
from Manila?
s'TheAmerican feet entered the har-
Dor Of Manila with the prospect that
complete victory only would save it
from annihilation. A partial success
would not have served. The ships
were thousands of miles from their
home ports, other stations were closed
to them, most of the nations were un-
friendly disposed to their colors. If
they failed to destroy the enemy's
fleet and make station at Manila,
they could get no supplies and would
be practically helpless. The harbor
of Manila was presumably fortified
and guarded against hostile approach.
1t should have been. It was place
readily defended. With expectation
that the Spaniards had taken all pre-
cautions that reason would dictate,
Commodore Dewey headed his fleet
into the harbor's mouth, past the
frowniDg Corregidor and into the
broad bay. Safely through the mar
row channel, he formed his ships in
battle line, swept forth and back
along the enemy's position, and shot
the ships of Spain to pieces. All the
time his vessels were engaged by the
Shore batteries, by no means to be
despised. These were silenced and
taken in possession. And all OF this
without loss of a man apd with prac-
tically no damage to the ships of the
American squadron .

Wiley Cooper, colored, killed his
eighteen-year old son few days ago,
with his fist. Cooper had the boy
doing some ploughing in field near
his home and reprimanded him be-
cause he did not do the work prop
erly. The boy give him some impu-
dent reply, whereupon Cooper struck
him with his fist, from the effects of
which the boy died in twenty min
utes. 1t is reported that Cooper has
been lodged in the county jail at

stuff will be given by Porto Rican
planters and merchants and brought
to the .. S. free by the Porto Rican
steamship Co., ifthis government will
allow them to be brought in without
payment of duty.
In deciding to reprimand Captain
Coghlan, of the cruiser Raleigh, be-
cause he told a story that was pub
lished all over the world nearly q year
ago, in what he supposed to be tie
privacy of a club room, in New York,
Secretary Long and the administra-
ton added nothing to their populari-
ty. 1t looks to much like trucking
to the German Government to please
the average American. 1t was un-
necessary for Secretary Hay to have
taken the proper stand in telling tie
German Ambassador, when he called
at the State Department to make a
protest, in the name of his govern
ment, that Captain Coghlan had
spoken as an individual at a phi
vate gathering of friends, and with
no expectation that what be said was
to be published, and that this govern
ment would take no official cogni-
zauce of the matter, if the Navy De-
partment was to punish Captain
Coghlaa. 1t looked to much like
Secretary Hay made bluff; for pub
lie consumption, and then privately
assured the German Ambassador that
Captain Coghlau would be punished.
That doesn't square with the Ameri-
can idea of straight forwardness. If
that sort of thing is kept up our army
and navy officers will be afraid 10 talk
among their friends, until each of
them has been sworn not to give his
remarks to q newspaper.
Representative Grosvenor has been
given a straight tip from headquar-
ters not to become a candidate for
the SpeaAership of the House because
Boss Hanna had decided that the ad
ministration could not afford to put
an Ohio man in that position. The
talk about Grosvenor having decided
not to become candidate because
he thought Ohio was already suh-
ciently provided with big political
honors is all bosb. It was q case of
Hanna, not difidence.
Surely Alger is surely to be pitied
now! Jay Hubbell, of Mich, whose
political methods were too bad even
for the republican party, whose noto-
rious connection with the forced as
sessing of government employees in
the Garfield campaign, when Hubbell
was at the head of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee,
has not been forgotten, foated into
Washington this week and gave AL
ger a public endorsement, through
newspaper interview. OF course,
Hubbell endorses Alger; they are
birds of a feather, but among decent
people his endorsement does more
harm than would his condemnation.
by the way, it has been much COM
mented upon that Alger was the only
member of the Cabinet in Washing
ton who did not accompany the Pres
idential party that went to Philadel-
phia, 10 see the Grant Monument un-
yelled. Il is said that Mr.. Mckinley
did not ask him.

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondeut]

(From our Regular Correspondent
Washington, April 21.-"Like mas
ter like man." Secretary Alger's fight
upon Gen. Miles has mostly been of
an underhanded nature, so it is not
very surprising that tie report of the
Military Court of Inquiry, now in Mr..
AIcAlnley's hands, should seek to
make its attack upon Gen. Miles seem
fair by jumping on a few minor COM
misssry officers and recommending
that they be court-nartialed for neg
lecting their duty in connection with
the beef supplied to the army neg
lect that the report says was extreme
ly profitable to the beef contractors.
This thing isn't done with. Gen.
Miles was completely vindicated by
the evidence taken and he intends to
keep on fighting until his vindication
is officially recognized, and he has
been assured of support by promi-
nent men in Congress, some of them
republicans. He has known from
the first that the personal enmity Of
two men connected with the Court of
Inquiry would have prevented his
getting fair treatment, even with Sec
retsry Alger's influence against him
left out of consideration.
Political pull was stronger with aIr.
Mckinley than his friendship for
General Joe Wheeler; consequently
Fighting Joe's" application for &C
tive service in the Philippines was
turned down, and that eminent polit-
ical warrior Fred. Grant, chosen as
one of the three Brigadier Generals
that are TO be sent to the Philippines
at once; the other two being Bates,
who has just been detached from the
command of the Santa Clara province
Cuba, and Young, who has been SD
pervising the mastering out of volun-
teers in the South. General Wheeler
has repeatedly said that be would re-
sign his commission if he could not
get active service, but It is stated that
he is to be offered command of the
Department of Texas, which is to be
revived. If General Wheeler accepts
this command, it will be an indication
that there is something in the story
of his expecting to be appointed Brig
adler General in the regular army.
Things are far from being satisfacto-
ry in Porto Rico. Thirty-nine deaths
from starvation have been officially
from single province since
the free government rations were sus-
pended, and 100000 are reported to
be continuously hungry. 1t is pro-
posed by the Red Cross to establish
depots in the large cities for the sale
OF Porto Rican products for the ben
eft of the poor on the island. The

UncleSam celebrated dewey Day"
las: Monday, by paying Alphonso
s20,OO0,000 in accordance with the
promise made for the cession of the
Philippine Islands in the Paris treaty.
Uncle Sam banded the change over
to II. Cambon the French Ambassa-
dor, who is representing Spain at
present. Now that our philanthropic
Ruler, has bought and paid for the
Philippine Islands, Alphonso ought to
be required to put him in possession.
However we must not only pay, but
we must give up lot of lives and
more money before we can get into
the promise land.
The Filipinos have expressed a de-
sire to stop fighting, and we have no
doubt that they are about run out of
ammunition and supplies, but they
want to govern themselves, even with
the Uoited States overseeing the
work; as we understand it, their
proposition was rejected, and in place
of it, this government is willing to
give the Filipinos chance to see if
they know how to govern themselves,
OF course reserying the right to Judge.
1t seems to US that there is very little
difference, and before many weeks an
adjustment will be had. Will this
stop war in the Philippines? We
doubt it exceedingly. Spain tried va
rious ways to pacify her Colonial po-
sessions, and all OF her efforts failed,
as fast as one method was introduce
ed, new outbreak occurred, and
thousands of lives and millions of
treasure was fruitlessly spent. The
United States may be able to pre-
vent a repetition OF SPANS expert
ence. We hope so.

The war dispatches for the past
few days indicate cessation of hos
tilities in the Philippines. Overtures
for peace have been made to General
Otis, by representatives OF Aguinaldo,
and rejected because Otis declined to
recognize the Filipino government.
He demanded an unconditional sur
render which was taken under ad-
visement The Filipinos are willing
to lay down their arms if our govern
ment will give them their indepen-
dence with an American protectorate,
a government and a relationship SIM
liar to that which exists in Canada.
It is clear that General Otis does not
intend to agree to any thing short Of
an absolute surrender, regardless of
what the claims have heretofore been.
The Filipinos fred upon American
soldiers, and they must give up their
all, and take what we are disposed to
give them. By the time Uncle Sans
Krag-Jorgensen missionaries finish
pleading with the Filipino savages to
become civilized, the islands will be
in excellent condition to receive Chi
nese emigration. The war in the
Philippines is not ended yet, nor will
| it be for years to come; there may be
a temporary hold-up, but it will break
out again.
