Monteio's Flag Ship Raised.

Manila, April 13.-The war ship Re
ina Christina, flag ship of Admiral
MoMejo, which was sunk by Admiral
Dewey in Manila Bay, was floated
and beached yesterday. The skeletons
of about eighty of her crew were found
in the hulk. One skeleton evidently
was that of An officer, for it had a
sword by its side.
There are fifteen shell holes in the
hull of the Reina Christina, one made
by an S-inch shell, and the others
small. The main injection valve is
missing, showing the ship was scuttled
when Admiral Montejo abandoned
her. The hull is in fair condition.
Capt. Albert R. Coude, in command
ing the naval station at Cavite, took

sailors. expressing a desire to give

WHAT P. NJ. GEN. PAYNE SAYS
About the Alleged Scandals, and
the Proposed Investigation.

Washington, April 73.-Postmaster
General Payne this evening gave out
a statement, in which be announced
that the investigation of the affairs
of the postodice department will be
continued, and that any parties found
guilty of wrong doing will be dealt
with summarily. The statement is as
follows:
During the months of January and
February information and reports
reached me, which I deemed it for the
public interests to investigate, and l
personally gathered such information
and facts as would enable the proper
officers of the department to under-
take a thorough investigation as to
the truth or falsity of these reports.
[ directed Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow to take the proper
steps to institute the necessary in
quiry. using for that purpose the
postofh ,e inspectors division and such
other methods as woald thoroughly as
certain the trnth or falsity of the
charges or insinuations made, and ne
was instructed to proceed promptly
anu WILL SlSOI uuIlHs LIZ e@o9oAtSS'
Since my return this morning I have
not seen Gen. Bristow, SO that | am
not advised of the progress made. The
investigation will continue, and If
any wrong-doiDg is disclosed the par
ties guilty of such wrong-aoing will be
summarily dealt with. If the system
or method of doing business in the
department is faulty, the proper re-
medies will be applied without fear or
favor. I inaugurated the investiga-
tion with the determination that it
should be exhaustive. It is proper for
me to add that l laid before the Presi-
dent the information which | had in
my possession, and that be fully ap
proved of the action proposed by me. "
The whole administration of the
postoffce department. is made subject
to the investigation under Postmaster
General Payne's directions and every
charge will be probed thoroughly
and the inquiry made as thorough as
the departments most expert inspect
ors can make it.

MAY COTTON GOES HIGHER.
Record Prices Touched in The
Last Half Hour Monday.

New York, April 13.-New high
prices for May and July cotton were
recorded on the local exchange today.
May went to 1915 and July, which
was really the leader of the market,
sold as high as 10.l1. Other options
advanced from to points. The ear
ly strength was due to active bull sup
port, no less than to short covering.
In the second hour there came another
sharp rise in which May advanced to
1882 and July to 1912. No specific
news accompanied the new movement
and the advance seemed to result large
ly from further short covering.
During tbe early part of the session
sentiment was really bearish, chiefly
because of the weather and general
crop conditions.
The lockout OF the spinners at Lo-
we'll exercised little or no interference
on quotations.
In the last half hour May cotton
touched 1903 and July 1920, the re-
cord prices. It was understood on the
exchange that Wall street was heavy
buyer of July for short account. The
bull leader supported May during the
entire session.
May and July cotton sold off in the
early afternoon and there was con-
siderable proft-taking. Just before
the close fresh orders came in and
prices advanced to the highest level
of the day.
May sold up to 1903 and July to
1920, with much covering by shorts.
Trading in the options other than
May and July was light and had
practically no bearing upon the days
operations. The closing was steady
at declines from the top. Sales ag-
gregated about $50, 900 bales.

The civil service examination to be
held here in the near future for ap-
plicants for positions in the postal ser
vice-city mail carriers, postoffice
clerks, etc-affords an opportunity
for young men to secure positions that
pay we'll and that are permanent. The
lowest salary that any of the positions
pay is $500 year, and promotion and
increase of salary follow with length
of service. The examination is not
difficult and any one with a common
school education should pass it with
out difficulty. Those who stand the
examination to be held next month
are certain to be appointed to good
positions within q short time as the
list of eligibles who passed the last
examination has been exhausted and
the next vacancy that occurs must be
filled from the list of those who pass
the examination to be held next
month. Thus far few if any applicants
for positions have indicated to Mr..
B. r Sanders, their intention to stand
the examination and it begins to look
like the examination will go by de-
fault The examination is not confined
to residents of this city, any resident
of the county is eligible

there was absolutely no reason to sus-
pect that liquor was stored at Mrs.
Trenholm's and to have explained the
situation. and this would have finally
disposed. of any such radical move as
was. taken. Chief Rowie did have eX-
plicit and emphatic instructions to
obey orders as to the seizing Of contra
band liquor that was sent into Char
lesion, but he was warned and advised
to act With discretion and good judg-
ment in all other matters relating to
the enforcement of the dispensary law.
Numerous letters have been received
from Charleston indicating that there
was perhaps some motive in this move
on the part of Chief Howie. Chief
Hammet will go to Charleston tomor-
row to make proper inquiry into this
phase of the matter and find out what,
if any, success Chief Howie has had
during his administration since Gov
eEnor Heyward's Inauguration.
Chief Hammet has been detailed to
Charleston tomorrow to make a per-
sonal investigation as to the entire
situation and report upon the same.
Chief Hammet thought that the
number on East Bay indicated was IN
the business section of East Bay, and
to confirm this impression made in
curry, and those be consulted also
thought the number given was IN the
business section of East Bay.
Governor Hayward will personally
write Mrs. Trenholm letter apologlz-
ing for the mistake that was made,
and Chief Hammet will DO the same,
although be he's already written Mr..
Trenholm bow the mistake occurred.
Governor Aeyward deeply regrets the
incident and will SO advise Mrs. Tren-
holm.
1t is entirely safe to say that Gov
ernor Hayward is going ahead in his
work and that he is not going to be
handicapped by any such blunders.
He feels that the people fully under,
stand his position and that he would
not for moment countenance such an
action, especially when Chief HOWE

The COTTON WEEVIL.
The Best Remedy is to Burn Off
The Fields After Each Crop is
Gathered, but Even That is
not a Sure Preventive.

Washington, April J3.-Mr. E. a.
Schwartz has just returned to Wash
ington from Cuba, where be went for
the department of agriculture to make
an investigation Of the cotton lands
and of the depredations of the cotton
boil weevil. The especial purpose of
his visit was the desire to find out. if
possible, some parasite which will
destroy this pest so fatal to cotton. He
failed to find any such parasite. He
found instead that the weevil exists
pretty generally throughout Cuba and
that the cotton possibilities OF the
island are naturally very much injured
by its existence. The department of
agriculture has been devoting a great
deal of attention to the cotton boil
weevil in the hope that some means of
Kidding the cotton lands of it may be
found. Investigations have been made
throughout Mexico, and,. as stated,
in Cuba, but without favorable results.
So far no parasite to destroy the boil
weevil has been discovered. The re-
ports to the department show that the
terriotory of it's operations in the
Southwest is extending year by year,
the advance being at the rate of ap-
proYimately seventy-hve miles each
year. With its present progress the
pets can be expected to reach the
Mississippi Valley in a couple of
years.
DR.. Howard, chief entomologist of
the department of agriculture, says
that unless something is found to
prevent, the pest will spread through
out the cotton country within the
next two decades. Experiments being
made in Texas lead the experts of the
department to believe that good
deal can be done by proper planting.
They advise early planting and that
the planting be on the wide apart plan.
If the crop gets an early start it will
get beyond the weevil, which are there
for the reason the planters of the Mis-
sissippi Valley have pointed out that
early planting is not advisable there
for the reason that the planters have to
bold back for fear of the floods. Dr..
Toward is Of the opinion that the
floods drawn out the weevil that has
been hibernating during the winter.
Planters are advised to clean up the
ground thoroughly after the crop
has been harvested by burning up,
everything that is left. 1t is believed
in most cases that the weeyils will be
destroyed by this method. While all of
these plans have proved beneficial,
none of them have prove sufficient to
kill off the pest altogether.
The experts of the department feel
that they have a great problem on
their hands and that they are practic
ally 10 nearer solution than they have
been.
The population of Europe has nearly
aouoe.i in the past twenty wears, and
the increase in America has been
three and half fold. In that time

doubled. At this rate OF increase good :

Saluda, April l3.-Today Rufus
burst, a young white man, shot and
instantly killed John Shaver, near
Pleasant Cross. The particulars are
meagre, but it appears that trouble
grew out of dispute over some lane
that Shaver rented. Shaver was shot
twice, one ball entering the heart and
the second his side as he wheeled to
fall. burst is not married. Shaver is
about go years old and leaves a wife
and several children. burst is still at
large, but it is said he will surrender.
