Gladfield Advertiser TI'OS. J.ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9. A revolution is ?D progress in Venezuela. It seems that nearly every na tionality was represented in the Maine's big crew. . The work of investig Mon of the Maine's hull must proceed so slowly that some weeks will elapse before the court of inquiry can bring in a verdict. '? Nicaragua and Costa Rica, two of the Central American States, are About to begin a war that will probably include the adjacent States before the grand finale. President Dole, of Hawaii, has sent $500 to the navy department for the survivors of the Maine dis aster and the families of the vic tims. The prohibitionists of this State have called a convention to meet in Columbia on the 14 th of April prox. They will put a full State ticket in the field, all State officers from Governor down. The United States government has agreed to furnish two vessels to transport to Cuba the food sup plies contributed by the charitable people of this country for the starving Cubans. The Hon. W. J. Talbert will be a candidate for re-election to the House of Representatives. He will have no opposition, indeed opposition to Jas Talbert in his district would be vain. He holds the fort. The entrance of the prohibi tionists into the campaign with a full State ticket complicates mat ters very much. It is not at all unlikely that the prohibitionists will get their candidate for gov ernor in the second race as things now look. It is predicted that ex-Senator Irby and ex-Governor Evans will go to the legislature from their re spective counties at the next elec tion, and when tney get there as they almost certainly will ii they make the race, something awful will be heard to drop and made to drop. The United States war depart ment, in anticipation of a war with Spain, is just now industriously making this enquiry : "Can a nig ger stop a bullet?" This is where tho republican party will put their colored allies in case of war, in the front of the battle to stop the bullets. The counties of Hampton, Bam berg, Barnwell and Aiken in South Carolina are directly interested in the proposed improvement of the Savannah river, between this city and Augusta, since their freight facilities would have the benefit of competition. It is to be hoped that the Congressional representatives of these counties will bo requested to use their influence in favor of the appropria tion.-Savannah NewB. It :s not necessary to say that Congressman Talbert will give thi3 matter all due attention. He is always on the alert when it comes to looking after the best interests of the people. Knowing this the Democracy are determined to keep him "in harness." Hampton Gardiain. WILL IT BE WAR ? The latest war news is that, the Spanish government has asked that Gen. Lee be recalled from Havana, and that the United States shall forbear to send pro visions and supplies to the Buffer ing Cuban non-combatants in war vessels. President McKinley has very properly declined to recall Gen. Lee. He has also declined to change the programme cf send ing supplies as at first intended. In the meantime Spain is becom ing clamorous for war, and the probabilities grow stronger day by day and hour by hour that wa" will soon raise his horrid head near our Southern coast. Our govern ment is rapidly accumulating war material and supplies at the most convenient point for use in Cuban water.?. On Monday of this week a bill appropriating fifty1 millions of dol lars for the national defence, was introduced in the United States Senate. This will go through that body and the lower house with a rush. The following is the text ol the bill : "That there hereby be appro priated, out of any money in the treasury, not otherwise appropriat ed, for the national defence and for each and every purpose con nected therewith, to be expended at the discretion of the President, and to remain available until June 30,1899, fifty million dollars." SEI MALI AWAY! Begged a Stranger at the American Consulate. MYSTERIOUS WARNING. Then He Was Thought to he Crazy, Now He is Beine: Hunted High and Low hy Amer icans. Havana, March 5-"Send the Maine away! For God's sake send the Maine away!" That was the solemn, earnest warning of an elderly Spaniard who called at the American consulate general every day day for a week before the disaster. He had been in the habit of visiting the consulate twice a week for some time, but after the Mi1 i nf arrived his visits became more frequent. The week before the explosion he went daily, fairly [begging that the American j battleship be sent away. [ The consulate officials thought he was crazy then ; now they are hunting for him, as he has not ?been seen about the consulate since the awful catastrophe. The naval board of inquiry |knows the truti- about the cause of the Maine's blowing up-and expects to report it. The court is composed of the most capable men in the American navy, and they are honest. Expert divers who are enlisted American sailors have sworn that the ship'6 side was smashed in not out. She was struck by a torpedo or a mine under the bottom at the left side. Even th? lower part of the heavy armor belt is bent in. The greatest bending-in of the massive plates was opposite frame frame No. 73, just about across from the big ten inch magazine, which every one now knows did not explode. There is no room now for doubt that somebody blew up the Maine .and killed 253 sleiping American sailors. On by one the sombre facts in iron, in human flesh aud in expert testimony have piled up, all in one direction, until there is no room for doubt. The inward twisted plates and bended armor simp y drive the convincing nail through all the hundred-odd bits of material evidence and clinches it. Abraham Lincoln's "plain people of the United States" may not quite see the value as proof of a loaded ten-inch powder case removed from a magazine reported to have exploded. They might still halt'in forcing the presideut into action fer reparation, even after knowing that every movable or twisted-off thing on the Maine wreck went towards instead of away from the only interior explosive force h5.g enough to destroy the Maine -is she has been destroyed. But when they now know that the massive plates-splendid steel have been forced and twisted and bent toward and into the very centre of the ship, they know the Maine was struck from the outside. Upon the mere intelligent in spection of the pitable wreck above water the spectator fairly shouts, "Outside force." When divers report the peculiar direction of the exploeive force in the ship's inside, conviction grows stronger. And when, finally, immense, ir refutable physical evidence comes to light of a tremendous blow at a certain point, the proper cause of all other noted effects, convic tion becomes fixed. And when they know that all such tremendous forcing inward was done under water they know that somebody did it. Who did it? It is now admitted that it is not even remotely likely that Cubans were engaged in the atrocity. They have not the incentive, nor th? money, nor yet the immensely powerful exploding force which certainly was employed. No small torpedo, even aided by a ton of saluting powder in the reserve magazine, reduced the Maine into its present condition. Indeed, of hundreds of rumors, with persons willing to swear to them only one by any possibility implicated the Cubans. Although one New York daily makes a great Sensation over this on pure hearsay, a careful investigation, aided by the original documents in the case-which were in The World's possession before even the board of inquiry heard any witness-indicates that there is nothing in it but talk. Among the many stories of heroism which are being told of1 the Maine'8rjQen this is the latest: A marine sentry on the poop had a hundred cartrdges ia his belt, but had orders not to load his rifle unless commanded. When the awful roar of the explosion came he loaded his rifle, then asked for orders. He thought the Maine was attacked. Another splendid soldier, Marine Officer Catlin, has that rifle and prizes it. The fern, though better - than she looks and splendidly officered, is not a good American man-of war for Havana harbor in these times. Her one little six pounder does not look formidable. She seems in fact a fit companion in helplessness of the sunken Maine. When the grossly ignorant lower classes judge America's naval force by the samples sent here in the present trouble, their contempt is ar ased. The populace here hates Americans. It is made up of people who are densely ignorant, intensely prejudice and swayed by the naval contrast now shown in the bay by the Vizcaya, and which contrast will be heightened when the Spanish warship Almirante Oquendo arrives. Then these people may be expected to do damage. The big black massive Spanish cruiser Vizcaya set Havana wild by her arrival. For two hours before she got in, from the time of her first telescopic signalling, spurts of detonating rockets flew from the water front. When her black snout poked about the base of gloomy Morro, the volley became a battle crash of guns. Small boats carpeted the harbor, lounghes flew and big ferry boats jammed with people and milifory bands ploughed through the small fry. Fireworks came from the hundreds of boats until the bay seemed a sheet of fire. It was just dusk when the big cruiser moored and her searchlights played over the mass of boats crammed with cheering Spaniards. It was their day. The docks and quays for miles were packed.

Dr. Wads worth relates this incident in the battle of Franklin : "General H Dod was standing on an eminence whence he could se? the destructive fire poured into his lines from a Federal fort located in a locust gt ove. It must be taken, though the odds were great. Calling a courier, he said, "Go and present my compliments to General Cheat ham, and tell him that I ask at his hands the fort in the locust grove." The courier dashed away, but returned quickly, saying, "General Hood, General Cheatham cannot be found, and it is feared that he has been killed." The great soldier's heart was bleeding, for his men were falling "Go," he said, "present my compliments to General Claiborne, and tell him that I ask at his hands the fort in the locust grove." The courier quickly returned, saying, "General Hood, General Claiborne is dead on the field." The tears fell from Hoods eyes as he saw his rapidly thinning ranks under the galling fire, for he loved his brave fellows. Turning to his courier he said, "Go, give my love to General Cockrell and tell him that 1 ask at his hands the fort in the locust grove." Finding Cock rell, the confier said, "General, General Hood sends you his love and asks at your hands the fort in the locust grove." Cockrell was the youngest briga dier in the Confederate army, and brave. Standing in his stirrups and pointing toward the fort, he cried, "First Missouri brigade, attention! Charge!" Over the field went the little baud, sweeping all before them, and the Confed erate flag floated over the fort. Turning to his courier, he said, "Go, give my love to General Hood, and tell him that I present him the fort in the locust grove." JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever Im One Day.

Washington, March 2.-To the correspondent of the New York World here Gen. Longstreet, of Georgia, has given the following interview relative to the Maine 'disaster and the outcome: ''The United States could sum mon 5,000,000 men into the field in case of war with Spain. "Our greatest difficulty,'? he con tinued, '.would be to arm and equip them. I am receiving more letters every day from members of my old corps who hope to be able to enlist than I can answer in a month. In ninety days, even in our presen* incomplete condi tion for war, we would be on suffi cient war footing to deal with Spain. "Why, Napoleon, within three months after his disastrous retreat from Moscow, raised, armed and equipped another army equally as powerful. With far greater re-J sources and with the spirit of pa triotism burning fai brighter than in that particular period of France's danger, we ought to do equally well. In fact we ought be able to eclipse that most mar vellous feat of that most wonderful military genius. "Should war be declared, the first move of the United States government would be to throw its forces into our commercial cities on the Atlantic coast to repeal an attack of the enemy's warships. For some time after the beginning of hostilities the tug of war would be between the navies of the United States and Spain. OD the sens we are about equally matched so far as vessels and armament are concerned. So soon as circum stances would permit we would throw a certain portion of our forces into Cuba. Tue question of [transportation of men need not concern us very much, for, with the present spirit existing among our people, we would reach the island. We would get our soldiers there if the men had to swim. "As to leaders, let no one have fear that we would lack military talent. The graduates of our mili tary schools have had far better advantages than had Grant, Lee, Jackson, Sherman or Sheridau. We have a right to expect from the younger generation of officers men even more brilliant than they were. "As to the fighting qualities of the Spaniard, we will do well not to underrate them. I have uiver met any mea bearing Spanish blood in the field more seriously than the Mexican 'greasers.' In our war with Mexico, in which I took part, we found that the Mexi cans were good enough fighters. What they lacked was leadership. "Spain has no great military leaders, but the war may develop them. Napoleon used to eay that he could make soldiers but he could not make generals. Spain has never been prolific of great military leaders. Nevertheless the Spaniards possess the martial spirit. It is safe to predict that after we got fairly started the war would be a question of a few weeks and that the navies of the two countries would bear the brunt of the contest for supremacy. "Now, while I deprecate war and have every reason to believe that through the firmness, good judg ment and calm temperament of the president, war with Spain will be averted, I stand ready to offer my services in case they are need ed. "I have never offered my ser vices before. Had I done so it would have only tended to increase thf excitement already pervading the country. I can still advise. I am still able to mount a horse. I have no doubt all the surviving officers of the Confederacy are ac tuated by a similar spirit." Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever In One Day. Weather for lebruary. Weather Observer C. A.

Riser, Willie Riser and Joe Riser, of Pomaria, and John Bickiy, of Lexington county, all white, with Villias Baker and Dave Taylor, colored, charged with stealing goods from the store of D. Hipp &.Co., at Pomaria, were committed to jail here this afternoon in default of bail, placed at $650 each, having waived prelim inary examination before Magistrate Elbsor, of Jolly Street. James A. Riser, the father of the two Risers first named is under arrest at his home near Pomaria, chaged with receiving stolen goods. The case has produced a oensation. For more than a year goods have mister iously disappeared from the store, of D. Hipp & Co., of Pomaria. and recently Mr. Hipp employed as detective Henry W. Hol'oway, and upon his affidavit the warrants were issued. Holloway says he found three wagon loads of goodi belonging to Hipp in the posses sion of the parties arrested, and in the residence of James A. Riser, who has always born e a good reputation. When the names of parties in the case bacame known it created grert surprise on account of theil previous respecta bility. Mr. George Johnson has been retained by Mr. Hipp to prosecute the case, and Messrs. Hunt & Hunt and James Y. Culbreath by the defendants. IN MEMORIAM.
