RECRUITS FOR THE NAVY.
Enlistments Coming In Very Rapidly
at New York Station.

New York, March 1.-OfaceTs at the
Brooklyn navy yard are much encour-
aged by the number of enlisJments now
coming in from all parts of the country.
Rear Admiral Henry G Taylor, who
while he has been in command Of the
receiving ship Vermont. has devised
many plans to increase the eElfstme1ts,
said:
win be very short of men in the near
future At the present outlook it is
bright. About two years age the alarm
was raised that the navy WOULD soon be
without enough men to mar the differ
ent ships already in commission much
less the new ones in process of construc-
ton. What might be termed the scare
about lack of men is now over. With
the number of new recruiting plans that
have been tried the navy has found new
resources to draw from and there IS
little doubt that we will be able TO get
enough men at all tines

QUESTIONS UP AS TO THE SCHLEY
INVESTIGATI

There are two questions before the
public awaiting solution. One is, did
Rear Admiral Howison talk against
Schley, and is he fit to be member OF
the court to investigate charges against
the great naval victor? The other
question is. did Long, the secretary OF
the navy, suppress the news of the ar
rival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago,
and when Sampson finally received the
news did he conceal it from Schley? ?
There is a difference of opinion as to
what occurred, but it is obvious that
General Greedy informed Secretary
Long on the 10Th of May, 1898. 1t is
also stated that Long wrote to the
United States senate that he received
the news about the Oath of May.
But the we'll informed Washington
Post clears up all doubt or confusion
by stating in it's issue of the goth, az
follows:
1T is of record in the war department
that not only Secretary Long but Ad-
miral Sampson himself was notified OF
Cerveras entrance into the harbor OF
Santiago on May 19. That Mr.. Long
was actually SHOWN the OlSpdtcH we
cannot say with certainty, but that
Sampson was notified is sufficiently
proven by Colonel Aliens telegram
from Key West to the chief of signal
service, dated May 10:
Five Spanish vessels arrived at San
tiago de Cuba. Have notified admiral
commanding (Sampson) and the Spanish
flagship arrived at Santiago de Cuba
The admiral (Cevera) hastily wired
Madrid.'
Gas Sampson was at Key West on the
same day Colonel Allen wired the war
department. the latter's assertion have
notified the admiral commanding" ad-
mits of no doubt or qualifying expla-
nation. Sampson was there, and he go;
the information on the 18th of May
Schleys counsel have taken action
as to whether Howison really said OF
Schley as has been reported. If he de-
nies the report then the incident will
be closed. If he admits the talk as
given in a Boston Post he should be
set aside instanter as unworthy.

A QUICK EXAMPLE OF DANGER
Gus TALK.

1t will be recalled that the profess
sional negro blower in New York, T.
Thomas Fortune, as he writes himself,
but who is pestilential and a bad
niger" has seen his howlings bring
forth the results to be expected. He
lately consulted, as The Messenger
stated at the time, the bad niggers'
in the south to get their shooting irons
and begin work upon the whites. This
T. Thomas keeps his own hide far away
from southern rifles. In Boston-think
of it-a bad nigger,' named Alfred
Wheeler. has come to grief. Following
at the Hub the very villianous ad-
vice of the bad niger in Gotham, he
seized his gun and started forth on
mischief bent. He was finally arrested,
manacled and brought into court. He
crew of the steamer Sagadahoe The
Boston dispatches said:
For half an hour the negro held the
crew and the one hundred passengers
at bay by threatening to shoot if they
attempted to molest him, and with
revolver in one hand and chair in the
other he held updisputed sway on the
vessel. He was subdued after vigor-
oQs resistance.
THAT a desperate struggle resulted
before Wheeler was conquered was ev-
ident in court today. His face and head
were badly bruised
So all the fool bad niggers" are mot
confined to the south. T. Thomas mis-
leads his color ''up there" while seek
ing to incite those in the south to
bloody work. These fiery fellows who
would cause murder and a war of races
need to be forced to the front them
selves. Their long range mischief will
do it's appointed work. The Washing
ton Post says Of him:
Fortune has scores of imitators here,
and elsewhere north of the Potomac,
who delight in giving homicidaI and
vice through the newspapers or from
the roStrum but who never dream of
going south themselves to lead their
down-ridden people to victory and
vengeance. Cleaning cuspidors around
in the departments or running errandS
for petty government officials is far
more to their fancy than the field of
battle, but they can throw the firebrand
from safe distance, all the same, and
the fate of the fools who take their ad-
vice does not concern them in the least.
I'VE rather think, however, that Mr..
Alfred Wheeler is one of the Hon.
Fortunes latest disciples. At least, he
has done what the prophet advocated.
He is to be congratulated upon his
choice of an arena in which to illus
trate the Fortune gospel. Had he
drawn his gun and threatened the lives
of a hundred people on a southern
steamboat, he would now be the SUBJ
ject of a coroner's solicitude."

At this writing we have an impression

change of opinion upon satisfying proof.
As n statesman" Mr.. Macon was
very cautious and watchful To illus
trate. He voted for the war against
Great Britain in 1872. and then voted
against all supplies necessary thereto.
If we are right. he held that war was
proper on account OF the bad course of
Great Britain towards the then weak
and young republic. But as he had no
advice from his constituents at home
he awaited instructions. His caution
and circumspection were immense. He
was a truly safe and honest legislator,
and in view OF the billion dollar per-
formances of later day members OF the
congress (of both parties) his integrity,
his caution, his fidelity and economy
are above praise or price.
