Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Tarbro, n. c., Sept. 13.-The Superior
court adjourned late this afternoon, af-
ter a week of hard steady work. There
We're on the docket 100 criminal cases.
Judge Winston presided. This was his
first court in Edgccombo. and he made
Il most favorable impression. Judge
Winston dispatches business with much
ease and rapidity. His charge to the
grand jury was one of the finest ever
heard here. Solicitor Daniels handled the
docket with much ability.
The most important case at this term
was State VS.. Breedlove, for killing
Elijah Lancaster, that occurred here last
year at Virgins Cross Roads. Tho State
was represented by the solicitor and Col.
Bridgers and the defendant by Gillian
& Gillian. Two days We're occupied in
the trial of this case. Rreedlove was
acquitted. The jury was out for half an
hour.
Though court adjourned today, there
were many cases that We're continued.
Two criminal courts a year for Edge
combe are not sufficient, and it looks now
as if an extra term will be necessary.

(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 11.-Secretary Moody
today teiegraphod to the commanders Of
the battleship Wisconsin, now at Brem-
erton, and to the cruiser Cincinnati at
Cape HaytieD, directing them to proceed
as soon as possible to the Jsthm,ls Of
Panama. the Wisconsin reinforcing the
Ranger at Panama and the Cincinnati
taking stand at Colon.
Orders were also sent to the United
States steamship Panther, which is now
en- route to League Island, to take aboard
a detachment of about 800 marines upon
her arrival and proceed to Colon.
The gunboat Montgomery will replace
the Cincinnati at Porte au Prince. The
Montgomery has just finished rarticipa-
tion in the manoeuvres and is being over
hauled at the New York navy yard. Al
lowing a couple OF days in which to coal
and fit out, she could probably reach
Porte au Prince by next Thursday.
It will take the Wisconsin fully twenty
days to make the long trip of over go
miles down the Pacific coast to Panama.
The Navy Department had intended to

ready for service at San Francisco, to

Gals 20 take more instant measures to
increase the naval representation Of the
United States in that section.
The Cincinnati will only consume a few
Gays in her trio across from Cape Hay
ten, so that by the beginning of next
week, she should have reached the other
ter1ninal of the Panama Railroad.
The commanders of the Cincinnati and
Wisconsin will be instructed TO strictly
enforce our treaty stipuldtions With
Colombia by preventing any interference
With traffic across the Isthmus, and also
to prevent a bomDardment of Panama
from the sea, for this, in itself, would
constitute a menace to traffic.
Orders were issued for the organization
of the marines, who will number $50
men. and will be commanded by Lieuten-
ant Colonel B. r. Russell with Major
Barnett as second in command. Cap
tains Porter, Butler and Mark Will COM
mand three of the four companies and
Captain Lemly will act as Quartermas-
ter. IT will be the duty of the marines
to keep transit across the Isthmus clear.
The marines performed a similar ser
vice in 1885.
