very site. So near are the negroes to
the accomplishment Of their desires
in this matter that could they secure
the Endorsement Of a few prominent
business men of Anderson to their
plans of building a negro college in
this city, we verify believe the money
would be forth coming at once. Mr..
S. 7. HARRISON. amember Of tbs board,
was in the city last week in consulta-
tion with j. p. Foster, a prominent
negro educator, who is in charge Of
the school in this city supported by
the Northern Presbyterians, and we
would emphasize the fact that the in
activity Of the white people may prob
ably lead TO theadvantageof the negroes
and put them in possession this. the
most desirable location for a college in
the city.
The money raised for the founding
of the johnson University was by
subscription prior to 1852 anI then by
sale of scholarships. a similar plan
could be adopted this time.
The grand work accomplished by
l)r. Preston in Grcenvillc in cstab-
fishing Chicora College, should furnish
an example to our people. Notwith
standing the fact that the Grcenvillc
Female College had been long estab-
lishcd and was enjoying the greatest
prosperity, Chicora was built and it is
an honor to the State and marnifi-
cent ornament TO our sister city.
With strong pull together and with
dcnominatioual lines obliteratcd, our
people will be surprised to find how
easily "a college for girls can be
built.

IN HONOR OF FREMONT.

a bill has been introduced I'm Congress to
appropriate $4,000 for the erection in Wash
ington OF a statue Of John C. Fremont
The bill is said TO have the warm approval
of the President and will doubtless become
law. AS the erection of monuments and
statues of notable men is a part of the
congressional plan Of identifying the ma
tional capital there is scarcely any Amer
lean, not already represented there, more
worthy of it than Fremont. Some of our
distinguished public men have been too pro-
nounced partisans 10 make their commemo-
ration I'm this way appropriate. while the
services of others have lacked the national
characteristic that would justify it. Our
army and navy men are generally free
from the faint of partisanlsm but one of
these must rank high above his fellows in
respect of services TO the country TO entitle
him to the exceptional honor OF statue or
monument at the hands of Congress. The
greatest of the great leaders of the civil
war have been thus honored, or soon will
be. and others that deserve It may be over

Cuban Conditions.

There has been too much coloring Of the
reports of Cuban sentiment through the
fundamentally of men whose knowledge
of the Cuban people has been obtained
through the medium of disgruntled adven-
turers in Havana and other seacoast cities
In Havana. especially. we find great num-
bers of disappointed American, Cuban and
other people of the adventurer type who
are bitter toward both the Cuban people
and the military government. 1t is the way
OF human nature very often. Instances
cannot fail 10 happen where men are
checked in their greed for some concession
which is irregular or undeniably fraudu-
lent. Disappointed. chagrined and perhaps
in some small degree hopeful of retrieving
lost enterprises, they make it their special
purpose in life to denounce as tyrannical
and oppressive the authorities of the island
Cuban and American. The same special
reason for existence seems also to actuate
every man who has been dismissed from
government employ because of inconDe-
tency or dishonesty. The views of men like
these are no criterion. The actual feeling

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Nothing has
been heard at the State or Navy Depart

Santo Domingo. OF timely interest. how
ever, is the report of Commander Nc
Creary. of the gunboat Machlas dated
April 6. on his recent visit there with the
gunboat, which was made public at the
Navy Department to-day. The text OF the
report is as follows:
81 arrived here Yesterday morning, went
ashore and had a long conference with
Consul General Maxwell, also with Charge
d'Affaires Powell. The consul said there
are no American interests endangered and
we now understand that overtures 10 the
insurgents are being made with view to
preventing further bloodshed. In the one
battle fought twelve insurgents were killed
and ten of the government soldiers found
there was no excitement on shore. The
two Dominican gunbOats are employed as
transports taking troops to reinforce the
war minister who commands the govern

mated that the insurgents had about two
hundred men badly equipped. whereas the
government already had five hundred men

Another "AtrOcity."
New York Tribune

New York Tribune.
A court-martial has been ordered TO try
General Smith and clear up the question of
atrocities in the Philippines. But it is of
no use. The powers that be evidently do
not wish the situation to be known Else
why do they apply the gag to Edward At
kinson, of Boston, who, as everybody
knows, tell more i'm three minutes
about things that have and have not ham
pened in the Philippians than anybody else
can tell in three years?
What a petty, miserable excuse the ma
jority of the Senate committee make for
not calling him. He never was in the Phil
ippines, can give no direct testimony and
the committee has so much to do listening
to witnesses who can report facts that il
cannot spend time on gentlemen who mere
ly have views to communicate. Views in
deed! Do the senators not know that Ed
ward Atkinson has more than views? He
has convictions: he has revelations A
man with the prophetic instinct does not
need to visit the Philippines or see "atroci-
ties" 10 tell all about them. Men who go
ter, who went out good men, almost sure
to be corrupted. 1t is a great deal better to
stay safe and unspotted from the world in
Boston and get wireless messages and spir-
itual communications. Mr.. Atkinson can
speak much more positively about the Phil
ippines than he could if he had been there.
No incOnvenient facts detract from the pur-
ity of his logic. No personal knowledge
soils the austere purity of his principles
Failure to hear his prophecy is an "atroc-
ity' in itself.
