THE MAXILLA TICTOKT.
The detailed repori of the great
naval battle off Manilla nas Deeo re-1
ported to the newspapers by their war'
correspondents and officially reported
by Co ninodore Dewey. Dewey's victory
is wonderfn!. He totally destroyed
the enemj'a fi^et. Not aa |
American was killed, not an American
ship seriously injured, although
our ship3 had to resist both the Spanish
ships and the guns on the forts. Three
hundred Spaniards were killed and
about four hundred wounded. This
is ad unprecentei nival battle. The
remarkable American victory was
- ^ - J.
possible not because me epiniaras
were lacking in courage, but because
the Spaniards could not hit their targets
and the Americaaa could do it and
did it.
A week ago, it was plain from even
the censored despatchss from Madrid
that the Spanish bad met with a crashing
defeat, and as we said last week it
wa? probable that 3ubsequeut and detailed
reports would show even greater
loss to the ensmy, bat utter defeat and
casualties on our side have been a
sarpri3e to the American people. It
seems almo3t a miracle that even the
wildest shootiog by the Spanish should
not have been fatil to soma of our
sailors.
Dewey is complete master of the
situation. Manila is at his mercy,
and he practically holds possession of
the Philiipine*. He will not formally
take possession until troops arriw.
R .iuforcemcnts will be sent kirn from
Saa Fraacisco in a few days. The
Piiiliipices belong to the United States.
What (hey will do with the islands remains
to be seen. There is some talk
that, tbe seizin? of the Phillipiues,
Porto Rico, and Caba will not necessarily
en.J tee war, and that Spain had
virtually lost those possessions before
thy war began; that with these possessions
gone, she will continue to
harass us and the war could be
f/\i* ?r?T7J>r?Q ] Tt, ?fi
argaed that Spain has beea at war for
several hundred years, and the people
?f Spain are indifferent'to the devastations
of war. It is, therefore, said
that an invasion of Spain alone will
terminate the war. In this event, the
Phillipinas may become valuable to
the United States. This view is parelv
- ^ecalative. Admiral Sampson is
now in search of rhe Spanish fleet in
"" the Atlantic, (or somewhere, nobody
"outside of ?he proper authorities seem
to know), and if he should destroy it
as thoronghly as Dewey has done his
. woik.itmav be that the end of the
t .
war will then be in Eight.
- - SFAIX IS DOOMED.
; ^ r. Spain'* treuble with the United
States i3 not kcr only trouble, and it
is possible that it will not be her most
serious trouble. Before the war began,
it was manifest that the Spaaiih
Government saw that it had to jfijht
the United States to prevent internal
disturbances at home. If the Government
made a back-down then the
dynasty was threatened with overthrow.
Now it is apparent that there
is a dangerous, ignorant and irre
sponsible element in Spain that trill
not be satisfied with war without
victory. They hare been deceived by
their Government into t'na belief that
Spain is a powerfal nation, and that
she cannot be conquered by the United
States. "Long live Don Carlos"
shouted on the streets of Madrid has
as much terror for the Spanish Government
as the thundering of Commodore
Dewey's big guns. Shoats in favor
of tbe resignation of Saga9ta are
really fhouts that will soon turn into
" "* - * *? *% - * * ' - !_L

Kewspapers are forbidden to
publish "news relative to any operations
of war whatsoever." Public
meetings and public demoastrations
are prohibited, and all offenders wi'l
be Tied by military courts. The suppression
of war new3 in Spain, of
course, will keep the populace in ignorance,
and the Government will
issue official lie3 of Spanish victories

Martial-law may stay the Spanish
revolution fo: a time, bat the truth, of
Spain's helplessness will be discovered
?Ov i;er or later by tbe populace, and
in iheir indignation they will demolish
the Spanish throne itself.
Captain David D. Gaillard, of the
United States Army, will be on Gen.
Wade's jrsff. Capain Gaillard is a
Whnsb.oro man, though he entered
"West Point from Sumter County. He
was living in Wiunsboro at the time,
but his father Mr. Samuel I. Gaillard
had jast moved to Samter County.
Lieut. Davis, of this county, had just
received the appointment for this Congressional
District, and as he and
Captain Gaillard were warm personal
friends they were anxiop- to be at
West Point tosether. Gaillard was |
not then iwenty-oue years of age, and
he went to Sumter and came out ahead
in the examination over about twentyfive
competitors. There was some opposition
to his appointment on account
of his not then being a resident of
Sumter, but the Secretary of War
finally decided that as his father was
then living in Sa*ter Captain Gaillard
was eligible.

THE PRESIDENTS APPOINTMENTS.
"While, of coarse, it won! I be gratifying
to us of th? S-mtli, if more
Southern men ??ere appointed Major
Generals and Brigadier Generals, yet
considering the whole matter calmly,
we think that the South has obtained
abont all that it could reasonably expect.
From civil life, tbe President
has appointed four major generals,
s.nd two of these were Confederate
Genera!?, Lee and Wheeler. That
nearly all of the higher of 'cerB should
come from the regular *imy should
cause no surprise. These men have
been educated at "West Point for this
very purpose. The objeet of the
Government in eitablishing tbis military
school was to train men in military
6cienoe, and fit them for service
in time of war. They gave t&e oe?t
of their -ervice daring life to the
Government; they are ever studying
and workiug to equip themselves for
higher service in the army, and it i$
natnr&l that they should expect tha
President to give them the preference
when Major Generals and Brigadiers
are wanted. Nor can we complain
that the President has not gone belovr
the rauk of lieutenant-colonels to mak 5
promotions. That there are many
competent men below this rank and
many in civil life, we hare 110 doabr,
but there is not room for all, and
some such rule as that adopted by the
President had to be adopted. It is
true that the South is not represented
in the highest officers in the regular
army, because during the civil war no
cadets from this section were at West
Point, and tuere has not besn sufficient
time since then for oar graduates lo
hs.^e risen to the higher ranks. This
is the fate of circumstances, and we
can not complain of it.
If President McKinley hsd intimated
that he would make numerous
appointments from civil life, there
would have been a scramble akiu to
the disgraceful struggle for civil plums.
Politics wonld have had a great deal
to do with the appointments. In fact,
a week ago, it *ae evident that the
politicians were prepariog to siege the
white bouse to seeure appointments
for political friends. It is no time fir
politics.
GOOD ADVICE TO VOLUNTEERS.
Capt. James D. Parker, of the Fourth
U. S. Cavalry, gives some good advice
to volunteers. "No man should enlist,"
he s-?ys, "in the resnlar army
unless he is prepared to serve for the
full two years for which be will have
to enlist." It is not known when this
war will end, and those who go must
be prepared to stay the full two year*.
It may end before two years, bat Spain
is compelled to fight by au ignorant
populace and it will take 9. long time
for these blind people to discover tbeir
n'ter helDlestness.
Again, those with few family ties
and no oDe dependent npon them
should enlist rvtber than the man with
a wife and a house fall of helpless
children, or a eon who has a widowed
mother, or any one dependent upon
him. As Captain Parker says, "There
is no good ground for making a charge
of lack of patriotism or courage
agaioat them if they decline to join the
regular amy because they are so situated."
If the soldier has those at
home dependent upon him for a support,
he will be filled with anxiety all
the time about them, and this will

soldier. Then again, it is really a
protection to the Government not to
hare enlisted this clo^s, because it
means greater pensions. U .married
men killed in battle leive no widows
to be pensioned.
Eighty four members to the company
is so much larger than onr regular
malitia companies that evsry company
that volunteered had to draw
upon recruits. While Fairfield County
has not furnished a full a> d distinct
company, still ber sons are f and in
several of the companie? fio ? other
counties. There must be tweuty or
twenty-fire men from this county
among the accepted yolnnteer?. Some
are in tfct Columbia companies, some
in the Chester company and perhaps
some in the Rock Hill company.
The young man eager to volunteer
will have a chance to get into the
South Carolina Volunteer Regiment,
if he will be prompt. A great many
will be rejected because they do not
come up to the physical requirement.
For instance, in the Abbeville company
ont of 106 men, 27 were rejected, or
in other word* nearly one-fourth. This

A DISPASSIONATE READER'S VIEW.
Mr. Editor: It was the custom a tew
years ago when a fellow wished to run
for office lo open hi9 campaign with a
tirade of abuse of filaj. Woodward so
the faithful might know he expected
the 'upport of the Tillmanites. If the
practice prevails now, it 1 eviucui wm
Ridgeway will have two candidates
but it ebould not be forgotten 'hat the
days of gall and bitterness have passed,
and that parties who run for office will
hereafter hare to show character and
qualification as well. I have personsonally
known some whose people had
been krpt from the poor house by his
bounty, and others who had escaped
the penitentiary by his kindly offices,
to turn and sting him because he has
had the manliness to spurn political
position by not bowing to the domain
of Tillmanism, for it is well known he
could have gotten any office in the gift
of the coun;v, ic not State, had he
done so.
Bat what of all this militia matter,
v*hich it seems causes such a stir? It
has been charged that the Fairfield
companic-p were only formed at or
about the lime of the Darlington war,
and that tuuseqaently they carried
tbcir rifles and ball cartridges?State
property?to rh2 polls at the dead hour
of midnight and secreted Ihem in
houses nearbv, to be used en white
men?having, in one instance at least,
appropriated the arms aud accoutrements
of perhaps the finest company
in the State simply because tbey were
unwilling to go go where they might
be ordered to fire on their brethren.
It is intimated further that having thus
usurped control of tbe military duties
of the State, they have not met the
requirements of the situation, the expectations
of the f.eople by coming up
to the accuatomeJ action or toe county
in war times.
These charges are eiiher true or
false. If true, tuev are part of the
history of the period in which we are
living and should be known; if false,
th?y can and should be corrected and
our militia made to occupy abetter
position. I assume that every lawabidiDg
taipa.ing citizen ha? a right
to look into all public matters of State,
whether political, military or otherwise,
which touch his pocket, or effect
his repu'ation, and no one has the right
to assert that he transcends the bounds
of propriety, or that he is bent upon
mischief when he calls attention to

rcct abuse and is productive of much
&ood by making people put ou their
studying caps, which must be dons ic
all cases before charges can be made.
Hoping that this controversy will in
the lutnre be diverted of some of its
kantankerosity and that good may result
to thi9 now united old county, I am
yonrs, Dispassionate Reader.

COURAGE IN TIME OF BATTLE.
New York World.
An English war coarespondent says
that as to the courage of the American
soldier there can be no doubt. Of
coarse there are some cowards. Gen.
Sherman says somewhere that 25 per
ceat of men have not the necessary
nerve for battle. If this 22 per cent
is jammed into line it will ran?unless
there are men behind it ieady to shoot
the fagitives. For this reason the
rear of the armies wa-- sometimes
pick?tted during ihe war. The sentries
allowed only the wounded to pass.
But this does not impugu ?he valor of
the Amarican private. There are
cowards in every army. Oae man
was drammed out of the ranks,
though he was of good family, and
bitterly felt uis disgrace. He contended,
and ir was true, that under
fire he was seized with paralysis and
could noj mov3 forward; therefore he
used to lie do^u. Such things happened
in the Franco-Prussian war.
A Cincinnn:. bank president says
that during the rebel'ion he was in
command of a picket squad at mid;
ni^litwlieu "there suddenly came to
us evidence that the enemy was upon
us and about to attack. There was a
di-chargeof musketry And I waut
to oay that the first thing that struck
me was the fact thai my legs were
trembling very much, especially about
the knees; io truth, so viobnily that
I began to be rather leary about standing.
Then the thought struck me,
'Thank Heaveu! it i? midnight, and
nobody can see my legs acting as they
are.' Through ail the numerous engageuienfs
that my regiment was in it
is a strange thing, but I had the same
trembling and my face would (urn
ashen pale. I never lost contral of my
voice, howe e, peculiar as it ws?, <ind
could deliver oaths as plainly as at
any other time "
Gen. Andrew Hickenlooper recen.Iy
told this story to an interviewer: "On
one occasion, after we had chased the
encuay for some disiauce, we ciught
up to them. That night at the council
of the officers it was decided to move
apon the enemy's camp' at daybreak.
As chief of the artillery, I went over
to the headquarters of the branch to
notify them of the line of action. In
my tent I found the commander of my

The State.
Col. Joseph K. Alston's scorea of
friends-were delighted yesterday when
they heard of bis appointment. A
military man bad thi? to say of him:
"A lifetime study and a superb collegiate
and military education has
mad? Mr. Alston the most available
man iu South Carolina for high wartime
responsibility.
"The Governor ha3 never made a
more fr.ting appointment Joseph K.
Alston bas every qnalification for a
regimental commanding officer, and I
predict that he will soon be first iu the
hearts of every member of his command.
He is a strict disciplinarian

Joseph Kirkland Alston was born
November 6,1860, in Fairfield County,
S. C., near Monticello. He was the
only child of William F. Alston and
Susannah Cook, daughter of Gen.
Phillip Cook, C. S. A. His nearest
kinsman is a half-brother, now living
in Greenville, S. C , William F. Alston.
His father dieJ in 18G9, his mother in
1870, leaving biin with his half-brother,
who became a father to him and has
always baen hi-t truest friend. Col.
Thomas Woodward, of Rockton, wa6

days were speat with him. On both

Colonel Alston lores the flay uud9r
which he is to fight and the fhg of the
troops he is to lead. N
His training and educatioB have
been military almost entirely. The
first school he attended wasPorter's
in Charleston. He went from there
to the preparatory department of Sewa.
;ieo university. The next two were at
Col. Coward's at King's Mountain and
the Carolina Military institute at CfcarA*

poral, and among his classiratea were
Seoator John L McLaurin and :he
Hon. John P. Thomas, Jr. From th^
Carolina Military institute he went to
the "Virginia Military institute, generally
known in those days as the West
Point of the South. The military
education furnished by this institution
is not inferior to West Point. Tho
curriculum is high, the members
numerous and the discipline as strict
as any military school in the country.
Colonel Alston commenced here as a
nrirate and voso gradually during his
four year.s' course jhrough every grade
of office, graduating as senior captain,
the recognized head and leader of the
s:udent body.
Among his classmates, 1882, is tho
present leader of the Alabama troops.
Colonel Alston's first choice of profession
was the army, bat at the time
of his graduation, although promised
it, he faile'l to get a second lieutenancy.
His next choice waa the lav*-,
and after a residence of two years on
his plantation he read law under
Henry Gaillard, E?q., of Winnsboro,
and was duly admitted to the bar. He
then moved to Colnmbia and for two
years further pursued his studies a3
law clerfc in tne omceoi uuage oamuei
W. Melton, who at that time bad one
ot the largest practices ever held in
this State- The firm of Alston & Patton
was then established and has erer
sine-; existed and flourished, commanding
to-day a most lucrative and satisfactory
practice, the two member* of
which are rapidlv winning positions
in the first rank of the lawyers of the
State.
Cclosel Alston immediately upon his
return from school enlisted in the
Gordon Light Infantry as private and
was shortly afterwards made sergeant.
Immediately upan his coming to Co
lumbia he was elected janior second I
lieutenant of the Richland Voluntedrs.
At that -ime Childs was captain,Newnbam
flrsi lieutenant and Henry Thompson
.econd lieutenant. In 1888 he was
elected first lieutenant! 1889 wai regimental
adjutant, 1890 captain of the
Volunteers, 1897 major and in 1898
colonel commanding troops from South
Carolina in the United States volunteer
army.
In 1888 he was happily married to
Miss Belle McUaw, of York?il!e, a
great-granddaughter of William and
Martha Bratton of Revolutionary fame.
She has been the guiding star of his
nsefcl life, that priceless pearl, a
worthy wite, and a worthy descendant
of the noble womanhood of South
Carolina. When a discussion was bad
in her presence as to the propriety of
South 'Carolina furnishing troops for
the Cuban cause, she spoke for it, and
said: "I heartily approve Joe's action,
and if necessary will accompany
him to Cuba.-'
