SAMPSON'S NOBILITY.

The Hero OF Santiago Is a Hero
S ill.
Washington, March 13.-Sec-
Iratary Long has received a letter
from Rear Admiral Sampson, in
which the Admiral, after refer
ring to the allegations that the
list of the Officers recommended
for promotion for ~gallantry eff
Santiago had failed Of coufrm
ation because il included his
name, asked the Secretary to
Immediately re-appoint these off
lcers emitting his own name,
The text Of the letter is as fol-
lows:
leu. S. Flagship New York, First
Rate, Havana, Cuba, March
9. 1899.
Sir 1 respectfully ask your at
tentiou to the facts contained in
this letter, and that it may be
offcially fled as part Of my re-
Icord in the United States Navy.
"When The late war was threat
lenIng,I was placedi in command OF
the North Atlantic fleet, and af-
ter the declaration of war, was
appointed by the president Rear
admiral and confirmed in my
command.
"Thls duty aud responsibility
lcame TO me entirely unsought.
nor had 7 any especial wish fori i
though recogniz1ngthe great hon
Tor then conferred upon me-,
"My sole am was to achieve
success; 10 blockade Cuba, des>
troy Cervera's feet and to main
tain an efficient war feet,
at is not necessary to dwell
upon the incidents Of the war,
which are all now well known.
Based upon these incidents GER
tain officers, distinguished for
faithful service, were named by
ne, in the exercise Of my natu-
raj duty as commauder-in-chief
for promotion CT such other re-
ward as you, sir, might deem de-
Isirable.
Those names you have been
pleased to nomiuateto the United
States Senate for promotion. and
Iyou have done me the honor to
add my name to that list Of ofi>
GERS.
1T row appears that the Sen,
ate, though we'll disposed to
most of the names on that list,
has, fer reasons not necessary to
be here discussed, objected to
my promotion, and has similarly
failed to confirm the deserving
officers about whose merits there
has been no doubtnor discussion,
Hitherto, MIR. President, un-
diturbed by any eager desire for
advancement, or any other form
of reward for doing my duty, I
have not especially concerned
myself with matters outside Of
that duty. I have felt that 7 have
done my duty ia the conduct of
the West ludian naval campaign
to the Utmost extent of my abili>
ty as thoroughly as [ was able,
aud if no reward should come, [
Icould be satisfied with the con-
sci0usness of having done my
best. [ did not, however, antics
pate that dissatisfaction with any
act or acts Of mine would cause
the Senate to Withhold from other
officers a promotion which they
have promptly granted in
similar circumstances to others,
Il therefore respectfully sug-
geSf, Mr., RreSldenf, that your
appointment Of these officers
about whom there is no discussion
should at once he renewed, in
order that they may thus secure
their promotion under the Pers
sonal Bill to which they are en>
Titled, and without creating cons
fusion,
Very respectfully,
~(Signed) "W, I, SAMPSON
TO the President Of the Uaited
States of America.

The Cruiser RALEIGH

Norfolk Landmark
The United States cruiser Ra.
leigh, which recently ariyed at
New York from Manila, is ex-
pected to arrive at the navy yard
shortly for the purpose of under
gong extensive repairs. AS is
well known the Raleigh was built
here and therefore a local pride
which s only equalled by citi-
z7ns Of the old North State at
taches to the noble vessel which
did such splendid service and
reflected SO much credit upon the
skill of local workmen at the
battle Of Manila, May 1st last.
The citiz ms Of Raleigh, n. c.,
for which city the cruiser was
named, arc, it is understood, ar
ranging for a big public demon
stration on arrival of the cruiser
atthis navy~yard, an event in
which they will be heartily joined
by the residents Of this section.
One Of the features Of the demon.
stration will, it is said, the
presentation of a gun captured al
Mauila, to the city of Raleigh.

MORE ELECTION BOTHER
Ex-Councilman John E. Regan Says
Two Men We're Wrongfully Re-
turned as Democratic Nomi-
nees by Mahon and Casey.

Again the sixth ward comes to the
fore with election bother that will like
ly require a review in court. EX-Coun-
Gilman John e. Regan, who was in
spector of election at Saturdays DEM
ocratic caucus in the First district Of
that ward AYERS that James Hewitt,
for judge and Patrick keegan for in
spector were substituted on the NOM
ination certificate for John White and
John Ruan, respectively, and that the
wrongful substitutions were made by
Anthony Mahon and School Controller
John NJ. Casey, who served as vigil
ants.
1t appears the ward and district
nominations were certified on the same
blank. The county commissioners re-
fused to accept them in this form and
directed that separate blanks be filled
out for ward and district nominations.
Messrs. Mahon and Casey made out
the new blanks and In so doing made
Messrs. Hewitt and Keegan the NOM
inees for the district election offices in
the First district.
This act, Mr.. Regan says, was i'm.
proper and he threatens to prosecute
Messrs. Mahon and Casey for perjury
in falsely swearing that Hewitt and
Keegan were the nominees of the eau
Gus.
Messrs. Mahon. and Casey, on the
other hand say they are not only ready
but anxious that the matter should be
taken into court. 1t was ~. Regan.
they claim, who committed the wrong
by returning White and Ruan us the
nominees.
1t appears that White and Ruan had
no apparent opposition and that the
ballots were not counted for those Of
fees. To Mr.. Regan's charge that
Hewitt and Keegan were not even bal
loted for Messrs. Mahon and Casey
answer that they are ready to swear
that thew themselves voted for Hewitt
and Keegan and that Hewitt and Kee-
gan were duly elected.

Prudential Insurance Company.

AT this time OF the year the life
insurance companies are sending forth
their annual statements. These state
ments make very interesting reading,
because they reflect the general pros
perity which is manifesting itself. At
tention is particularly called, to the
statement of the Prudential Insurance
Company of America. This company
has been in existence somewhat less
than a quarter of a century. Organ
lied as an industrial company, it soon
achieved success, and during the last
thirteen years has been writing ordin-
ary policies also. 1t now has out
standing $414, 100000 of insurance. Dur
ing 1898 the Prudential wrote $l64 4,0OO,-
900, increasing the insurance in force
by some $51 100000. 1t paid to policy
holders last year S5,3S9, ,403,13.
Taking the ordinary line alone there
is SSO,554,S53 in force; $43.6l4,000 was
written during 1898; an increase of $2l,-
2OS,215. These figures place the COM
pany well up among the leading in
surance companies which have been
in business a much longer period. The
Prudential has assets of $2S,SS7, 1862,
with a surplus of s5,SSSs s94.76.
These figures not only show the ra-
pid growth of this company, but de-
monstrate the fact that the Pruden-
tial has indeed the strength OF Gibral-
tar. as the company SO proudly af-
firms.
