Twenty of the most prominent men have followed the brave leader There is no hope for Spain Reme dois has joined the expedition under Roloff, who is well supplied with ammunition, etc , and fire thousand pounds of dynamite, which have j been put in bombs of different sizes. The landing of the expedition under j J ero and Serafin Sanchez is confirm-1 ed. They have with them six expert powder makers and dynamiters. In | Santa Spiritus, Province of Sarita Clara, there aie six or seven bands ol fifty to one hundred men each "The challenge extended by Gen. Garrich, that the insurgents would get more provisions has been ac? cepted by Maceo at the head of seven thousand men. Maceo is barning towns and plantatione and capturing all conveys that attempt to ; pass through that country. The ' lives and property of all Spaniards who love liberty, will be protected, i providing they do not offer assist? ance to the government. "If Spain had looked for a general capable of using her army faster, she could not have found ono to ex? ceed Martinez Campos, who gives his suffering soldiers no rest, who ander the buming sun of this hot climate are dying of hunger and are without clothing, Even the home ; mle party say that an armed insur- ! lection is indispensable to ifluence the government in favor of home rule. "The Mahon convicts are all join? ing the rebels. The daily expense of the government is ? 150,0JO. Martinez Campos admits having lost 10,000 soldiers up to date. The soldiers are dying in the streets of Manzanillo of disease of all kinds. The people of Santiago de Cuba, Guantanimo and Baracoa are dying cf hunger. "There are over 18,000 well armed insurgents.

Other members of the Forty organization, however, sent letters and those present were in a position to act intelligently for the entire j body. Those present were : Reformers, J. E. Elierbe, Marion ; D E. Finley, , York ; T. J. Kirtland, Kershaw ; T. P Mitchell, Fairfiele ; Louis Appelt, Clarendon; J. YV*. flame!, Lancas? ter ; Conservatives, C E. Spencer. York ; F.

Thompson, Darling-; ton. it was stated that the greater part of their work was private. All that j was given out was the following ad dress : THE ADDRESS. To the White Voters of South Caro- j lina : The working committee constitut? ed by authority of the conference of Reformers and Conservatives which ! met itj Columbia oa the 27th of; March last, Commonly known as th* j committee of the Forty, in view of the gc^ve conditions still confronting the people of this State, deem it proper and expedient to make some recommendations iii furtherance of the well known objects and purposes of its organization. We desire to call attention to the cardinal princi pies set forth in the platform adopted by that convention, namely : The maintenance of white supremacy, ; "by fair constitutional methods," and to earnestly urge upon every patriotic son of South Carolina, with? out regard to political faction, the importance in this crisis of contribut? ing everything in his power to the attainment of that end To those who have labored for a reunited Democracy and for the restoration of ? peace and unity among the white people of the State, it is a source of j ratification that a number of coun? ties have already taken such action in regard to the election of delegates to the Constitutional convention as will obviate all fiictir-^ among the people j of our race, and will insure the selection of men whose undoubted j qualifications and lofty patriotism eminently .fit them for the duties they have been called upon to dis- j charge. We cannot appeal too strongly to j those counties which have not yet ? acted in this matter, to take immedi- j ately some steps that will place them in line with this movement, and . will render it general throughout the State. The practical method of solving the problem is. after al!, one that every county must settle for itself. The time for action is very short j The crisis that confronts us, it goes without saying, is imminent-we be? lieve the white people of South Caro? lina fully realize this. It is now time : to act and to act now. THOS J. KIRKLAND, FRANCIS H. WESTON, Chairman. Secretary. Free Pills. Send your address to ll. E. Bucklen ?fc Co., Chicago, and get a free sample box of Dr. ?

Ho.'.?ila Now ro Whites, hut Once Thi*y Were C?ood Section Hands. In the years immediately following the building" of the Sondra railroad, which oatineets ??enson. Ari/:., with t?uaymas on the Gulf of California, the traveler, after cros>ing the Mexican border, saw that Wie section men em? ployed on the track were small, dark, active mea. clad in blue dungaree jumpers and trousers and broad brimmed straw hats. They were bare? footed or shod in sandals, ami they worked steadily and industrially, and exhibited an alertness and intelligence in striking contrast to the impassive? ness of thc average Mexican laborer. They were Yaqui Indians, who came from their town of Torin or other piaces along- the lower Yaqui river. 4*The best workers I ever saw." said the late T. J. Seely, the first superin? tendent of the road. "There's only one ! trouble with them. Everything- may ; be going- along- all right a:.:l you'veg-ot a good track and plenty of g-ood labor ers. But there comes word to your men j from their chief at home that they're needed in the Yaqui country to repel \ the Mexican troops or to take part in domestic warfare. Almost on the in- ; stant they all start for their homes, j and you wake up the next morning- ? to find that you haven't any laborers. ; They are very resourceful and self-re? liant. I remember once that the sup? ply train failed to come as ordered, so that our Yaqui laborers were left tem porarilv without provisions. Instead of grumbling- or striking-, they at once scattered and went to hunting roots to eat. and there was no complaint by them or failure to perform duty while waiting for the delayed supplies." Up to 1SS6. in their country along the lower Yaqui river, within the "tierra caliente," or hot belt, the Yaquis were always able to beat Mexican troops who were sent in repeated expeditions to reduce them. They were not at that time marauding Indians, but lived independently in their own coun? try, repelling all intruders and not mo? lesting the whites except those who tried to enter their domains. Thej* made their own gunpowder, and were patriotic and invincible fighters, j Banded together against the outside j world, within their own borders they J had factions, and sometimes conspir acies and assassinations. The legitimate heir to the chieftain- : cy of all the Yaquis was living in 1 Guaymas when there came a d?puta- j tion to inform him that the throne was 1 vacantand that the popular voice called ! him to Torin to rule over the Yaquis. ! He declined the honor and waived his i royal rights, preferring to remain in Guaymas in safety to taking the throne ! with an almost certainty thai sooner or later he would be assassinated in 1 trying to maintain himself in his peril- j ous elevation. Cajeme, "the Jaguar/* | who so long ruled the Yaquis and led them against the Mexican troops, be came king by assassinating his pre- | deces.vor. | b?hce the Mexicans in their victori- j ous campaigns of niue years ago drove i those who would not submit from the lower river with its fertile fields into i the mountains, the fugitive Yaquis ; have become fiercer and more preda- j tory and wage an aggressive war upon all whites. They still roam at large in the mountain fastnesse ?, unsubdued and formidable.-X. Y. Sun. Cling to Their Names. People have remarkabl? attachment ; to their own names, and it is net often that any one excepting the most hard- j ened criminals makes a change. This is why so few people take advantage of j the law allowing them to change their i names whenever they'see lit. Even j when they do take a new name the af- j fection felt for the old one is apt to have a*bearing oh the new. If a crimi nal is named George Edwards, for in stance, it is apples to dollars that he will change his name to Edward i George. They hate to lose sight of their old identity even in the matter of j their names.-Louisville Commercial. j l could get relief S i from a most norri-g ble blood disease, I5 had spent hundreds ? !
