THE NAVAL RESERVES
The North Carolina Battalion Has
Grown Into a Brigade-COmmande
Morton Promoted TO Captain with
Rank of Colonel

Interest in the naval militia has
greatly increased and with the addi-
ton of two or three more division. the
North Carolina naval battalion has
grown into a brigade which consists
of two battalions. A division was re-
Gently organized at Windsor and an
other at Mt. Olive with fifty-five mem
bers, so that there are now seven divi-
sions Of reserves in the state. Four
divisions constitute a battalion, so it
becomes necessary to organize two bat
talions, which constitute a brigade.
The brigade formation makes it nee
essary to have a captain commanding
and consequently Commander Geo. L.
Morton has been promoted to captain
with the rank of colonel. Governor
Russell appointed him captain about
ten days ago and he has received his
commission.
The adjutant general of North Caro-
lima will soon institute the two bat
talions, which will be known as the
First and Second battalion respective
ly. The several divisions will at an
early day be assigned to one or the
other battalions and when this organ
ization is completed an election will
be ordered for the election OF a COM
mander and a lieutenant commander
for each battalion We see, therefore
that there will be a captain and two
commanders instead of one as here

SHARP DIPLOMATIC ExCHANGE ES.
The diplomatic exchanges leading up
to this crisis have been very sharp
within the last few days. Early last
week the Berlin government received
direct information from Samoa that
Admiral KautZ had arrived there and
had summoned a meeting of all the
officials for March 18th. The German
authorities felt sure this meeting would
result in serious trouble. The Berlin
foreign office therefore, instructed the
German ambassador here, DIR. Won
Holleben, to present q note embodying
Germany'S views. 1t argued that a ma
val commander had no right to act
save in executing the will of the three
consuls, acting unanimously and not
through a majority. But aside frcsn
this argument the German note insi-
mated quite plainly that Germany
would hold the other Cover nments re-
sponsible if serious trouble resulted
from the action Of the naval authori-
ties in Samoa. The strained conditions
caused by this note were somewhat al
layed by the answer Of the state de-
partment, which was friendly and r.
assuring, although it made plain that
the American naval commander would
act in an emergency, even though tTe
cOnSulS were not unanimous in requeS@
ing action. 1t is just 5Uch an emergency
that has now occurred IN Samoa.
There is no apprehension here that
an actual clash Will occur with the
German civil or naval forces il Samoa.
This is due mainly to the official IN
derstanding that Germany has given
positive orders to the commander of
the German Warship Fake to refrain
from any active move.

ABSOUUTEN PURE

expressed his pleasure at the good
progress General Otis and his generals
had made, though he regretted the loss
of life.
The dispatch OF General Otis received
early this morning was not supple
mented by any later news.
The opinion was given at the war
department that General Otis had
ample force under his command, and
that when the regulars now on their
way TO Manila reached their destina-
ton there would be little need Of re-
tanning the volunteers in service there.
No demand for muster-out Will hold
good until the formal ratification OF the
peace treaty occurs, and when this
will be done is not known. The French
ambassador, who is acting for Spain.
has no information on the subject and
does not know when the treaty will be
received here.

THE CRUISER RALEIGH
Commander Morton Thinks She VIII
be Permitted To Come TO southport.
The Raleigh People Want Her To
Come To North Carolina Waters

Captain George l. Morton, of the
North Carolina naval brigade, returned
yesterday from Richmond Va, where
ne stopped over a couple of days on
his way home from Washington, to
which city he and Captain T. d. Meares
went last week as a committee from
the Chamber of Commerce to urge the
secretary Of the navy to permit the
United States cruiser Raleigh to come
into the Cape Fear waters to present
to the people of Raleigh one of the
guns captured at the battle of Manila
on the 1st of last May. Captain Nor
ton stated to a Messenger representa-
tive yesterday that he is confident that
the cruiser will be allowed to come to
Southport.
The Raleigh Post of yestCl day, re-
ferring to the Raleigh, says:
1t may be a sentiment, but il is both
a creditable as we'll as a loyal one, for
the people of this state to desire to
have an opportunity to have a share
in bestowing the laurel upon heroes of
the late war, on their return, in which
we have a direct interest. For reasons
which ale good, though greatly to
our regrets and disappointment, our
First regiment, our only trcops who
saw service on foreign soil, will be
mustered out of service in Georgia. The
man-of-war Raleigh, named after the
capital Of this state, is en- route home.
The auth critics, it seems, in order to
give the first returning vessel which
participated in the great and decisive
battle CT Manila a big blowout, have
consented that she shall report first at
New York city. Orders ID this effect
were sent to the vessel at Azores, and
it is too late now to correct it. But it
is not too late for her to be ordered to
our chief seaport, Wilmington, and
thus give our people the opportunity
Of seeing and bestowing their plaudits
and blessings upon the noble namesake
Of their capital city, and the splendid
officers and crew who handled her so
magnificently in battle. Surely the ad-
ministration can grant this request,
and we can but hope that it will
do so''
