WASHINGTON, March 23.--The
Navy Department is gratitied to learn
that its representatives who have
been working for some time in the
vicinity of Santiago and Guantanamo,
have succeeded in adding another
vessel to the American navy, in the
gun-boat Baracoa, which was reported
to have been towcd into Santiago

the Spanish gun-boats sunk near
Guantanamo. She is a useful type
of vessel for patrol work, and is

The Navy Department is still
waiting to hear from the Swedish
company which has undertaken 10

means. Expert engineers in the
employ OF the company visited the
wreck and made Il careful study of

port. began the preparation of exact
estimates of the cost of raising the

A JUST SENTENCE BUT NOT Sc.
WERE ENOUGH,

The sentence of Breese, the Ashe-
vile bank wrecker, will be generally
regarded as eminently just. He
has been sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for ten years, but has taken an
appeal. The Asheville case was one
of the most outrageous cases of bank
wrecking ever recorded in the South.
According to the evidence, the Ashe-
vile affair was nothing more nor less
than robbery of the banks depositors.
Ten years seems light sentence for
a man who deliberately planned this
wholesale embezzlement, but it is all
the law allows. Such failures as that
of this bank are calculated to shake
the faith Of the public institutions,
and do more harm than any other
form of thievery. The extreme limit
of the law is not too much for the rob-
bers. We have heard it related that
in China when an embezzlement oc-
CURED in bank, all the officials
were arrested and their heads
promptly cut off. And, according to
the accounts, there is never a crooked
bank failure in China.-Charlotte

ANOTHER NEGRO POSTMASTER
Yields to Temptation and Robs the
Government-lsrael Hargett the
Negro Postmaster at Rocky rlount
is Now in Trouble.

The negro postmaster at Rocky
Mount is in Wake county Jail, a
United States prisoner, this Sunday
morning, unless he has succeeded in
giving bond for his appearance at the
next term Of Judge Purnell's court
since these lines were written, at
late hour last evening.
Surely the negro is a failure as
postmaster in North Carolina, and
several who have held the position
are now wearing the stripes in pen
itentiaries, with the prospect of a
half-dozen others being added to the
list.
Through the influence and on the
recommendation of George White,
the negro Congressman from 2nd
State, the President and Postmaster
General have, from time to time
within the last two years, appointed
a score or more of negroes and ne
crosses as postmasters at various
towns, and several of them at i'm
portant towns, known as Presitentia
offices. One of the latter is Rocky
Mount, and the present incumbent
is one Israel d. Hargett, and on Fri
day last he was arrested, while
alternating in Washington City, on
the charge of embezzling Govern
ment funds, as explained in the Posts
Washington special yesterday.
Last evening he was brought to
Raleigh, in charge of a deputy United
States marshal, and he will be tried
at the next term Of the United States
District Court.
At the United States Marshal's
office last evening the Post was in
formed that the shortage in Targets
account amounts to something over
i $500.
The prisoner waived examination
and bond of $4,000 was eXacted for
his appearance at the next term of
the United States Court in this city.
Hargett remained in the custody of
the deputy all the afternoon and the
| authorities afforded him every OPP
/ portunitv to secure bondsmen. He
/ made an Industrious effort in that
and he was accordingly committed to
| Jail in default.
: He hopes to secure bondsmen at
| Rocky Mount, however, it is stated,
and possibly he may succeed in doing
SO during the coming week.
Hargett is only another of num-
Der of negro postmasters appointed
in this State through the influence
and the recommendation of the negro
Congressman from the Second Dis
trict, George White. Some six or
seven have been arrested lately for
stealing Government money or
riding letters in their charge. And
now there is another fight being
made over the appointment of another
negro at Littleton, and also at Scot
land Neck, the Senate having re-
fused to confirm one or two of the
negroes appointed during recess and
installed in that office within the
last year or two.
1t surely seems that it is time
Uncle Sam and Mr.. Mckinley were
drawing the line at officials with
such well-developed thieving pro-
| pensities.- Raleigh Post, March Goth.

NEGRO SOLDIERS.

The Northern press does not seem
to be anv more favorably impressed
with the nero a soldier than those
of the South where his conduct has
been observed at close range. The
following opinions Of two representa-
tive Northern papers are given as
an illustration: The Philadelphia
Rccord says this:
The negro soldier with a gun in
his hand, and under the strict
surveillance Of his military superlors,
j. no doubt capable of effective ser
vic. on emergent occasions, but the
negro soldier after his gun has been
laid aside does not SO readily revert
to a peaceful occupation. He seems
disposed to make little private wars
on his own OccOunt. and to become a
turbulent factor in the community.
1t was thought during the late war
that negro soIdiery would be Of espe
cial help to military operations in
the West Indies because Of their
being better able to endure the hard
ship OF the extreme Southern climate:
but the black soldiers bring back
from the tropics some tropical
notions that are not calculated to
promote the ends Of peace and good
ncighborhood. 1t may be better to
make our wars hereafter without at
tempting to impose any share OF the
white mans burden upon men of
other >celors. since the latter are not
so shfty in turning their spears into
pruning hooks.
The following extract is taken from
recent editorial article in the Wash
ington Post:
We are far from wishing to deny
that the negro troops have been a
nuisance, a pcrniclous influence,
throughout the episode just closed.
They have played the part Of rowdies
and law-brcakers whenever oppor-
tunitv offered. and have convinced
even their woud-bc friends that they
are not vet tit to wear the United
States uniform or to bear with credit
the honor and responsibility of the
soldier. Ably led, they are brave
enough in battlc--nO one will deny
them that acknowledgement the
man who cannot turn from battle
and become at once an orderly and
patriotic citizen is not made of the
material needed in the United States
Army. The acceptance of negro
volunteers, especially when Differed
By men OF their own color, was a
blunder which the Government now
recognizes and bitterly regrets. 1t
is a blunder which, we think, will
not be repeated in this generation, i
in any other.
