Secretary Long Trytng so Justly Hlim~
self for Advancemcas OF the Former
at the Expense OF the latter

~ kne hxpeGSE OF the Latter
Washington, February I.-Secretary
Long has sent to the senate an ex-
haustive report In reply Co the reso-
luton recently passed by that body
calling upon the navy department for
all records in It's possession. upon which
the nominations OF Admiral Sampson
and Schley TO their present grades
Were based. This resolution was pass
ed in executive session. Secretary Long
goes into the history OF the Spanish
war at great length, citing orders.
movements and all the details which
preceded the battle OF July Srd. In
summing up these facts, and citing the
reasons for advancement OF Schley and
Sampson, he says:
The advancement OF Admiral Samp-
son was proposed in recognition OF his
services in the execution OF his duties
as commander-in-chiefo OF all our ships
engaged in the campaign in the West
Indies; for the supervision OF all it's
details, wherever distributed, for the
blockade OF the island OF Cuba: for
the conveying and landing OF the army
and cooperation with it's movements,
and for the pursuit, blockade, and de-
struction of the Spanish feet, which
destruction, on the 3rd OF July by our
fleet under his command, was the con-
summation OF mis- orders and prepara-
tions beginning on the first day OF
June. In this connection the dispatch
of Commodore Schley, dated July 10th,
is a pertinent fact.
The advancement OF Commodore
Schley was proposed in recognition OF
,, his service as next in command in rank
at the victory of Santiago, where so
much was achieved in this eliminating
battle, and where his ship was such
a conspicuous force in the fight. his
conduct while in independent command
prior to June 1st, the report of which
has been given above, and which. by
reason of its unsteadiness in purpose
and failure to obey orders, did not
meet with the approval OF the presi-
dent, the department was yet not per-
| mitted to stand in the way OF the
nomination for promotion to a higher
| grade for the part he took in that final
| triumph. In this connection. a peril
nent fact Is the letter OF Admiral
Sampson, in which. while not over
| looking Commodore Schley's reprehen-
I sible conduct, as above referred to, he
| asks that ample justice be done him
| for his part in the action OF July 3rd.
'It is just to both these officers 10
say that each officer then was selected
| for his command in the war without
| solicitation or suggestion on the part OF
| himself or of any one in his behalf
| The head of the department, under the
approval of the president is RESPONSE
BILE for these selections, which were
made in the exigencies of the war sit
uation and in the exercise OF the
| departments discretion in the assign
ment of officers, which is authorized
by law. This discretion was exercised
solely with a view to the best inter-
ests of the public service, whether
wisely or not, results show"

Raleigh, N. c., February 1.-THE
resignation of Otho Wilson as railway
commissioner IS in the hands of Speak
er Connor, of the house.
The attorney general gives DR.. Rich
ard Lewis, secretary of the slate board
of health, his opinion as to compulsory
vaccination The opinion says the
legislature can confer upon the board
of health of cities and towns the power
to enact rules and ordinances for pro-
motion of public health. It is compe-
tent to require scholars to be vaccinat-
ed, and failure to comply with this
requirement will justify exclusion
from school. The requirement that
scholars shall present themselves on
certain days for vaccination would be
upheld as reasonable. The local board
is authorized to require vaccination.
There is complete authority to enforce
vaccination of inmates of jails and
county homes.

CONSEQUENCE of a telegram which he
received on February 4th from Agul-
naldo, urging him to cable to Malolos,
the result Of the vote OF the United
States senate on the peace treaty:
Aguinaldo, 1t appears, added: 1t is Of
the most urgent importance that we
should at once be acquainted with the
decision as We are negotiating with
General Otis and the vote viii vitality
affect the negotiations
Agoncillo further declared that as he
was closely shadowed by the American
authorities, to dispatch this telegram
from Washington would have been i'm
possible, and he. therefore, proceeded
to British territory.
The telegram concludes: ''The Phil
ippinos were anxious to maintain
friendship with the Americans and had
formally decided never to be the ag-
gressors.
Several dispatches have also been re-
ceived here from Philippine sources,
dated from Manila, via Hong Kong
and giving the rebel version of the out
break of hostilities. A Philippine dis
patch dated Manila, February z, says:
"On Sunday a force of Americans at
tackled simultaneously Caloacan and
Santa Mesa. Two American warships
were off Malabon and Malate and a
smaller gunboat- was in the Pasig river
to protect the American flank. For sew
eral days previously the Americans
had been endeavoring to provoke hos
by the rigorous order Of Aguinaldo who
was negotiating with General Otis for
an honorable understanding.
THE American attack was unexpected
The ships destroyed all the villages be-
tween Malate. Paranaque, San Pedro
and Mocati
Crossing the river, the Americans
advanced tn do1
turing the water works after a severe
fight. They then proceeded to Singalon,
establishing themselves on the river
dam. They tore up a mile of the rails
of the Caloacan- -Malolos line and cut
the telegraph order to stop commun-
ication with Aguinaldo.
"The Philippine forces engaged only
numbered 1000 including 1000 Ygorotes.
Acting upon instructions from Malolos,
the Philippines remained strictly on the
defensive and finally retired in good or
der without any loss Of arms, artillery
or ammunition. Two old Krupps of an
obsolete pattern, mounted on the for
tress of San Antonio, were captured.
The fighting was very stubborn and
lasted continually from Saturday to
Tuesday
General indignation has been oc-
casioned by the treachery of the Amer
lean surprise. The Philippines believe
that the Yankee administration is only
favored by a minority of Americans
and only abstain from taking the Of
fensive in order to show their graft
tude to the American nation for help
ing them to get rid of Spanish rule
Hence they will only fight when at
tackled and their future action depends
upon the decision of the United States

mics of peace are the American officers

Raleigh, N. c., February IL.
The proposition to take 600 Of the
state convicts and employ them on
three of the Roanoke farms in sugar
beet growing is renewed. Strange to
say, the authorities do not take to the
idea. The truth is that the peniten-
tiary is in politics and until it is re-
moved from that sphere will never be
a paying institution. 1t is certainly
costing the state a great sum now.
This legislature will have a heavy bill
to pay for debts and for this years
maintenance.
The formation of the state bar as
sociation last ni,ht was very success
full. The attendance gratified the pro-
moters. 1t is strange that no associa-
tion had before been formed.
Not until next Tuesday will the
supreme court announce the names of
the applicants for attorneys license
who passed the examination.
Revenue officers have made another
raid in Johnston county and destroy
ed three Illicit distilleries.
1t is now thought that the case OF
smallpox here was brought from
Norfolk 1t is the first case here in
twenty-five years. The house is guard
ed day and night.
The severe weather continues here.
Yesterday the temperature was
above zero; toda-- it was IS. The cold
today, owing to northeast wind, was
felt more than it was yesterday.
The democratic caucus three weeks
ago decided against increasing the
number of superior court judges, but
the committee will recommend that
two be added, and that the Eastern
and Western criminal circuits be abol-
ished.
Bills are now under way in the leg
islature to take from the fusionists
control of every institution or depart
ment save those in which the incum-
bants were elected by the people.
A sharp fight is expected on the tex
tile school bill in the senate.
Odds are laid that the senate will
pass the bill creating the county OF
Scotland by two-thirds vote.
