WATSON TO SUCCEED DEwEY.-The
navy department has selected a sue
cessor to Admiral Dewey to command
the Asiatic station. Orders were is
sued last Monday detaching Rear Ad
miral Watson from command of the
Mare Island navy yard and ordering
him to report to Admiral Dewey al
Manila to relieve that officer when he
feels that be can be spared there
Admiral Kempff, at present on waiting
orders, has been ordered to succeed
Admiral Watson in command Of Mare
Island navy yard.
1t was stated at the department or
Monday that Admiral Dewey viii
come from Manila direct to New YORK
when he returns to the United States
However, it was added, the admiral
will not start until the commission, o.
which he is a member, has completed
the work it has undertaken, at least Sc
far as it relates to the restoration ol
peace on the islands.
The reason for bringing the flag.
ship Olympia to New York instead
of having her come to San Fran
cisco where she was built, is said to be
primarily because Admiral Dewey
desires to make the passage in his own
iaghip; but also for the reason thai
Mare Island navy yard threatens to be
overwhelmed with repair work as soon
as the numerous vessels of Dewey's
feet begin to return to the United
States.
The Olympia is in need of a thorough
overhauling, having been away from
her home station longer than any Of
the vessels in the Asiatic fleet, and
rendering more than the usual amount
of hard service during her absence.

The BAD BEEF REPORT.
Both Generals Eagan and Miles Are Sever
ly Censured.


By direction of the president, who
approves the finding, Acting Secretary
of War Meiklejohn has made public
the report and findings of the military
court appointed to investigate the
charges made by Major General Miles,
commanding the army, that the beef
supplied to the army during the war
with Spain was unfit for the use OF the
troops.
The most important features of the
report are that General Miles's allega.
tions that the refrigerated beef was
treated with chemicals were not estab'
lished; that his allegations concerning
the canned fresh or canned roast beef
were sustained as to its unsuitability
for food as used on the transports, and
as long continued field ration; CEN
sure of Gen. Miles for "error" in failing
to promptly notify the secretary OF
war when he first formed the opinion
that the food was unfit; censure of the
commissary general 0hen General
Eagau) for the too extensive purchases
of the canned beef as an untried ra-
ton; censure of Colonel Maus, OF
General Miles's staff; the finding that
the packers were not at fault, and that
the meats supplied the army We're of
the same quality as those supplied the
trade generally, and the recommends
ton that no further proceedings be
taken in the premises.
The conclusion Of the court adverse
to further proceedings, based upon the
case argued, is as follows:
ut has been developed in the course
of the inquiry, as rected in this re-
port, that in some instances certain
individuals failed to perform the full
measure of duty or to observe the
proprieties which dignity high military
command but the court is of the opin-
ion that the mere statement in the
official report of the facts developed
meets the ends of discipline, and that
the interests of the service will be best
subserved if further proceedings be
not taken"
There is more or less criticism of
Genenal Miles in various parts of the
report. Probably the most direct in.
stance is the one which states that be-
yond the criticism, if any, found else
where in the report
"The court finds that against none of
the officers commanding corps, divis-
ions, brigades, aud regiments and their
staff officers, should charge of guilt
be brought.
"The court also finds that the major
general commanding the army had not
sufficient justification for alleging that
the refrigerated beef was embalmed or
was unfit fer issue to troops. 1t also
finds that he committed an error in
that, having belief or knowledge, as
claimed, that the food was unfit, that
it caused sickness and distress, that
some of it was supplied under the pre-
tence of experiment, that other beef
was embalmed, he did not Immediately
report such knowledge or belief to the
, secretary of war to the end that a
proper investigation might be properly
applied"

A Big Transaction Which Did Not Disturb
Finances.

In the weekly letter of Henry Clews,
dated New York, May 6, he explains
the manner in which the $50, 900, ,0OC
indemnity was paid to Spain by this
country. This anticipated payment
was made the occasion Of an effort on
the part of the bears to create excite.

says:

SELLERS, s. c., January II, 1899.
Messrs. w. H. Gibbes & Co., Columbia,
South Carolina.
Gentlemen Replying to yours of the
7th, will say that the ginning outfit bought
of you last season is the most complete
arrangement for ginning ever put on the
market. Its equipments are of the latest
improvements, and in my judgment -is
by far the best in every respect that has
ever been offered the public. 1t not only
gives satisfactory turnout in pounds,
but makes sample so far ahead of other
systems, that agents buying cotton can see
the difference readily, and give from 1-16
to IA of cent per pound more for cotton
ginned in this system than in other gin
nings, and all who patronize it say that
there is none to equal it. Yours, very
truly, j. c. GEORGE.

EXPANSION, OR
SPREADING OUT. : :

TNHE kind of expansion most people
l. have been thinking Of lately has had
reference to national affairs. In fact,
Uncle Sam, for humanity's sake, put his
foot upon the Spaniard's neck in Cuba
and demanded satisfaction. Of course all
the Spaniard wanted was just to be let
alone; but he had the Cuban down, at
least was trying to keep him down, and
Uncle Sam demanded that he let the Gu
ban up and get off the island without de-
lay. Well, of course that that was right !;
but the fact is that Uncle Sans foot being
rather large, when it was put on Cuban
soil tramped upon that same Spaniard in
Porto Rico, and, very naturally, when the
Spaniard left Cuba he must leave Porto
Rico too. Now when Uncle Sam stepped
out with his left foot into the Atlantic, be
could not keep his balance without step
ping out correspondingly into the Pacific,
and being afraid that Hawaii would not
hold him up, he reached out little furth-
er toward the Eastern World and hap
pened to step upon the Philippines. There
he found that same Spaniard trying to do
these people the same way he had done
in Cuba. So Uncle Sam said to himself,
here's another place for humanitarian
work, 40 I'll send this trifling Spaniard to
his mothers house and-and-and-.
Well, this is pretty rich country, and !!
believe I'll take this myself, and 1t will
he better for the people anyway. They
may kick up about 1t little at first, be-
ing strangers to us but they will soon
learn to love us.
Well, I did not intend to go go much
into detail, as this is not the kind Of ex-
pansion I meant to talk about.
The Kind of Expansion
am particularly speaking of, is that

Too much Faction

mo man is big enough for his
personality to become State issue.
The situation is too serious to turn
upon the election of any one man
to .office. Our burdens arc too
great; taxes too high;' we have
nothing to show for the immense
sacrifices put upon the people. =
Ii we get superior legislature
and a good man for governor every
thing will be right.
In order to have these things.
however, more attention will have
to be paid to character and less to
party yelping. Send the best men
to the legislature instead of those
who most desire to go, as we have
been accustomed to do all over the
State. Party lnominations haveoften
been made through tricks of ex-
perts and caucus wIre-pulIers and
against the best man, because of |
disgraceful servillty to party which |
compelled men who. desired better
things to yield to unfair practices
to elect unwise and frequently un-
worthy men. We will have no
better condition until we resolve
o vote, in caucus, in convention,
md at the polls, our convictions
instead of our concessions.
