A CRUSHING DEFEAT.
The first real battl* ?of the SpanishAmerican
war occarrcd in Manila on
Sunday tno^ninsr. The news of the j
battle com?3 by way of Madrid, ana
tbe admissions are snob as to warrant
the statement that the Spanish fleet has
been practically destroyed by Co.mi.odore
Dewey and his Asiatic squadron.,
and the capture of Manila will be the
next news. Spanisk official reports
generally report victories for the Spanish,
but in this instance tnere i3 a total
absence of any specifications of American
losses, and it is safe, therefore, to
assume that the American ship? have
come out the terrible oonflict without
the loss of a single ship or serious
damage.
The following American vessels
were engaged in the battle, or at 'east
presumably so, as they compose the
Asiatic squadron:
("miser Olvmoia?Built in 1892,
steel, 5,800 tons, 21.6 knots; protected
by a steel deck 2 io 47 inches in thickness,

5-inch gun shields, and a cellulose belt,
in addition to coal protection; four

rifles in main battery.

* The Columbia State gives the following
as probably the composition of
the Spanish fl:et:
The Spanish fleet engaged is not so
easy to detail, for the reason that several
of Spain's smaller vessels in the
' east have been on service on other
coasts of the Philippines and at the
Caroline islands. The following are
believed to have been certainly at
Manilla.
Cruiser Reioa Cristina?Built in
1887, iron, 3,090 tons, 14 to 17.5 knots,

Tbe Reina Uristina was burned in
action, and the Castilla burn#(f on a
sand bar where she had grounded and
the Don Juan de Austria wa3 blown
up The despatches by way of Madrid
report that several Spanish vessels
wei s sunk to prevent their falling into
the hands of the Americans. This
mar mean that the ships ?ot dwtsoyed

Spaniards. It is at least aa admission
that ihe Americans had bsen victorious
to the extant of being able to take
possession of the ships. The Mindanao

? IT IS SMALLPOX.
An expert has been to Columbia, and
made an examination to a=certai* if
the epidemic tkero is real smallpox.
He reports that it is real smallpox,
but of a inild type. This diagnosis
should put an end to all controversy.
"Whether a mild type or not, those

much vanity for a woman or mm to
dread having his or her face disfigured
in such fashioD, and the sensible thing
to do is to be vaccinated. Only a day
or two ago a colored man was in
Winnsboro who had just recovered
from the disease, and those who saw
him say that he was badly marked by
the scars.
Smallpox may break ont in Winnsboro
any day. A grreat many people
say that they will be vaccinated when
the disease shall have made its aD
pearance here. They do not seem to
consider that they themselves may be
th; very first victims.

A CBuMStlSfc CAfiDfET.
Since the beginning of the McKinley
administration the newspapers have
bean filled yyith the report that Secretary
Sherman, now a very old man, ;
was failing in health and that his
mental powers were decaying with
his physical. It was apparent to the
most casual reader of the newspapers
?a Kcurl
tbat snerman was a iiiex? u^uic utau |
in the administration, and io the
Spanish affair bis name was never
mentioned. It was always what Assistant
Secretary Day had to say, and
not what Secretary Sherman had to
say. Now that an important crisis
has come, the Republican leaders
hinted to Mr. Sherman that hi* retirment
would be rcceptable. lie took
the suggestion, and has resigned. He
ought never to have been placed in the
position. If a strong, vigorous and
able man had been Secretary of State,
Sagasta would not have driven the
diplomats of this country into so many

President's 4Cchum$", and succeeds
Mr. Sherman. If he possesses any
peculiar qualifications for the place, it
is not generally known.
Bat the change in the Secretary oc
State portfolio is not the only change
in the cabinet. Postmaster General
Gary ha3 moved out, and it is rumored
that both Secretary of the Navy Alger
and Secretary of War Long will be
out in the course of a few weeks. The
McKinley cabinet does not compare in
abiliiy to the Cleveland cabinet, and
when a ec-vere test comes it begins to
crumble* And lastly, dissatisfaction
is expressed with Secretary of the
Treasury Gage. The complaint made
against him, however, is not that he
is a weak man, but that be has none
of the arts of the politician. He took
the Republican party literally when it
declared for gold, and he immediately
.1 -x .L- n _.
announced mat roeu-uverumenv tuuuiu
fasten the gold standard more firmly.
The leader* among the politicians did
not like this, for while they favored
the fastening of the gold standard they
wanted it done adroitly, under the
| humbug of a promise for international
'agreement lookiug to bimelalism.
The following has the ring of the
true South Carolinian:
I "My old comrades, we kkow what
war is. I do not .hesitate t? say that I
regret the ?ne upo* wMick w? art
now entering. But you are South .
Carolinians; you arc sons of the men
who have shed immortal glory on the

would not respond to the call
made upon her for volunteers. As
old as I am, I can ride on horseback
and wield a sword; if her quota is not
filled, if there is one name lacking to
make it fell, I [myself will volunteer.
This is oar country and it is our duty
to make it the champion of freedom
j for all time to come."?"Wade Hampton
in his speeclf in Charleston.
I It is astonishing how manr people
seem to think themselves fully competent
to direct the movements of an
army or fleet. The newspapers are
gratuitously adyiiing th? Government
how the war with Spain should be
conducted, and the newspapers are
reinforced by men in every avocation
To most people, action seems delayed

how it should be done, it does seem
that we cng?j^ to be able to run the
Spaniards 6nt of Cuba in ehort order.
It will be a great disaop-i tnent if this
war drags along forajeir. If looks
too mach like trying to wage war
withoot shedding any blood.
The public may expect the publication
of a great amount of filse
news. The Spanish Government will
purposely cause many false reports to
be circulated with a two-fold object,
one to decei?e its people into the belief
that it it winning vicloiies and the
other to mislead us as to her plans.
And our own Government ^rercisinjf

Governor Ellerbe made a mistake
ia not amounting his regimental
officers before calling for volunteers,
or in not saying that he would allow
the regiments to elect their own officers.
A great many who woald volunteer
will be deterred becanse they
d? not know who will be placed in
command over them.
For the eake of the reputation of
this State, we hope that the State militia
will furnish no ground for the
application .to them of Ben Hill's
epigram: "Invincible in peace, incn

THE LAW OF BLOCKABE.
New York World.
There are complexities in the law
of blockade, and its essentials are simple
enough.
1. A blockade must be proclaimed
so that ships of all nationalities may
be notified of its existence.
9 Shine olrOQf?tr ?f soatrhpn nmflft.
* V??V4J WVW l? MVM f ? WW
mation is made mast upon arrest be
notified and psrmitted to depart for
some other than the blockaded port.
Until such notice the ship is not liable
to capture.
3. Ships so notified, and all ships
sailing: after proclamation of blockade
has been made, are liable to capture
upon attempting to pass the blockade.
i. In case of capture thtv and their
cargoes are confiscated, b?t neither
their officers uor seamen, if the ship
carries a neutral flag, are subject to
any other penalty. They are cuiity of
nocriine.
5. No nentral nation is bound to (
resDect any blockade till if- has been .
made effective. If it is not so neutral*
resent and resist the seizure of their
ships attempting to trade with "paper" ,
blockaded p^rts.
6. Ships o- the enemy are su^jecf to
capture anywhere at sea, without reference
to the ports from or tu which they
are going. Neutral ships are subject i
to capture only when trying 10 break
the blockade.
This for information.

OUR TTrfctdROi' LETiER.
Everything has beeu going on very
quietly Ht "WiDthrop since the night of
the loth inst. On that night was
given in the college auditorium a recital
by Miss Joslyn* our elocution
teacher, assisted by Professor Wade
A. Brown aud Miss Mary Souther.
Mi*? .Tnahn read some beautiful se
lections which deserved the applause
with which they were greeted.
Professor LrownTj musjc was particularly
enjoyed. The public does
not often have the benefit of such a
treat, and it seemed to appreciate the
fact. Profesaor Brown responded
gracefully to the encores.
All who hail heard Miss Souther's
clear, rich, and beautiful soprano
leaked forward with pleasure to her
number* on the programme. She did
justice to herself ou this occasion.
The writer regrets very much that
she caDnot <>ive the programme, as the
one sbe ha"* in her possession has
gotten misplaced or lost. However,
it was quite a fall program and the
selections were fine.
The girls are looking forward to
commencement with much pleasure.
It was decided by the board of trustees
which met on Friday last that school
shall close on the 8th of Jane. This
news was received with surprise ai
well as pleasure, as it wai feared we
woald have to remain at college a
week or two longer on account ot the
additional tvro weeks holiday at
Ckristmas. It was with general
pleasure that we received the announcement
that we will not have to
study through the hot month of Jane
We were all disappointed that the
game of ball between the South Caro
Tina College and Wofiford teams did
not take place in Rock Hill. The girls
had planned a big reception. Alas!
for air castles!
The 12th of Mar is the date which
we have most firmly fixed in our
minds at present. There are two trips
beiwee < which we must choose?one
to Davidson College, the other to Ball
Alley, a place in the mountains about
a hundred mi!e3 1101th oi' Rock Hill.
We hope the vote will be to go to
Davidson, as we Lave received a formal
invitation f;om the faculty and
stndents of thu college. The question
will soon be decided, however, and if
we go to either pla?e we txpect to
enjoy ourselves.
The subject of the war is one of
rnach discussion asd anxiety now.
From the present outlook "trouble
teems to be at haed. We ean ealy
hope and pray for the be?r. The
Wiaikrop jirls hail each days news
wi'tfe anxiety. T?e l&el certain of the

and men and-know that tbe> vrill all

for the present. Nelle.

The excessive rains we have been
having recently hai greatly retarded
farm work. The ground scarcely becomes
dry enough to plough from one
rain before auoiher comes, rendering
it too wet again. Farmer* htven't
fiuished planting their cotton yet.
We suppose though that the otlou
that remains to be planted will catch
up to that which has been planted, at
lea3tit looks so now.
The weather is so very unreasonably
cool th-it cotton (nor anything elsa) is
makiug much progress towards growing.

can jast get some dry weather now
and get it worked over nictlj- its condition

widow of Mr. Matthias Clarke, who
years aao was a citizen of Wiansboro
After his death, she moved with her

from a Bossier Parish paper that will
be of interest to her many relatives in
South Carolina:
Mrs. Clarke, an old and highly
esteemed lady of this parish, died a
few miles west of Collinsburg last
Friday night. Her remains were
buried at old -^alem graveyard, near
Red Land, Sanaay. Mrs. Clarke was
a lady of note, accomplished and well
educated. She was a sister of Got.
McWiilie, of Mississippi, and the
mother of Holland Williamson Clarke,
deceased, who was elected recorder of
Bossier Parish in 1865, and Mr. H. H. 1

HOW THE DEAD LOOK ON THE 1IATTHE-FIELD.
Abbeville Medium.
Anything about war is read with
interest these days and whin one re- '
counts incidents that came nnder his j
Qwn observation the interest is increased.
We hare heen told that our 1
recent article entitled "What I Know
about Soldiering" was much appreciated
by old soldiers and also by the
younger people. Something more on
the same line mar not be out of place
at this juncture. It fell to our lot during
the late war to serve in an infantrv
command which always had "a place I
in the-picture near the lashing of the
guns." At Gaines's Mill and at Second
Manassas we were on the detail to
bury the dead. So we had two fine
opportunities to look upon the battle- x
field when ths joy of the conflict r. a*
over. The slaughter at Gaines's Mill .
was terrific. Orr's Rifles lost ninety ,
men and mnrft than three hnn- \
dred wounded in the short space of ten |
minutes. It w:i? a melancholy sight ijj
when we begaa our task next mom- In
iag. From away in the dlstante the |!
sound of cannon iu pursiit oi the S
eneray fell upon our ears, but a soiemn ft
stillness rested upon the fi:ld where j}|
all was noise and tumult ths day be- to
fore. Our comrades lay a^ they fell, }}
stiff in deatli. Nearly every ia*n had L
one hand or linger pointing upward to j11
the sky. In nearly cv?rv ca?.c their n!
eyes weivopen, but; there w is no lustre (11
in them. The marks wore plain where, jj
in the agoay of d"H;b, their Stivers n
had torn n;> the eaith and their heels 11
had dug into the ground. Oae body h|
lay a Toss a piue bush, the fa>:e laned pi
