rj!?'s^ AESDAY, MARCH 16.
Russia and Japan are preparing
for war.
The dry dock at Port Royal is
said to be now in a condition to
accommodate our war vessels.
The new battleship Kentucky is
to be christened with a bottle of
water, to bring it good luck, we
presume.
Pickpockets follow in Bryan's
wake. Two gentlemen who listen
ed to his speech in Augusta last
Thursday were robbed to the sum
of $185.
It is not at all unlikely that
Fitzhugh Lee will be made a Briga- J
dier or Major General in the Uni- j
ted States Army on account of his
wise and manly oonduct in Cuba
during the present unpleasant
ness.
We must' not forg< t that the
State Democratic convention meets
in Columbia on the third Wednes
day in May next tor the purpose
of re-orga::izing the democratic
party of the State, as if we had
ever been dis-organized.
If-the prohibitionists could
be induced to take up uncle George
for Governor, and if-Uncle
George could be induced to become
their candidate, there would be
much hope and promise for both
in such a getting together. We
have heard of stranger things:
William Jennings Bryan deliv
ered a two hours address in the
Augu.-ta Opera House on last
Thursday night to a large and de
lighted audience. The Hon. Geo.
D. Tillman was on the stage with
Mr. Bryan and introduced him to
the audience which seemed as
much delighted to see Uncle
George as the President, elect-to
be.
UP-TO-DATE WAR NEWS.
The battleship Oregon has been
ordered from San Francisco to
Valparaiso with instructions to
cruise down the Pacific coast

are cable communications.

Three shifts of men are working
night and day at the Washington
Navy Yard in the manufacture of
big guns.
Two car loads of torpedoes
reached Key West on Saturday
last. They will be laid in that
harbor.
Genl. John B. Gordan in res
ponse to a telegram asking if he
will head one hundred and fifty
thousand of his old soldiers, says :
"I think I hear rebel yells aud
Yankee hussars mingled as our
common country unites in protec
tion of our flag."
Rudyard Kipling, apropos of
the impending war with Spain,
says: "The American are irreso
lute and full of doubts np to the
point where they wake 'the drum
ming guns that have no doubts.'
After that there is no more irreso
lution till tho last shot is fired."
The Secretary of War has crea
ted a new department to be knowji
as the Department of the Gulf with
headquarters at Atlanta, to be un
der the command of Brigadier
General Wm. Graham, and com
prising the States of South Caro
lina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
The Emperor of Germany is. re
ported to have said at a recent
dining that the United States
should never possess Cuba as long
as he was Emperor of Germany.
There seems to be no longer any
doubt but that President McKin
ley has determined to recognize
Cuban independence and this
means war unless Spain makes a
complete "flunk" on the whole bu
siness and this is not probable.
Senator Morgan was probably
right when he said that Spain
would rather yield to the iuevita
blejthat is, Cuban inbependence,
after a battle royal with the Uni
ted States than to give up to Cu
ba fighting alone.
The latest from Havana is to
the effect that the Board of Inqui
ry has virtually completed its in
vestigations. Everything now is
in the nature of cumulative testi
mony strengthening the evidence
that the Maine was blown up ex
ternally.
Inspector-General Losada, of
'the Spanish forces in Cuba,
"recently issued his official report,
says The Medical News, in which
are indicated losses almost without
precedent in modern times. His
^<rcx shows that out of the 200,000
soldiers sent by Spain to put down
the insurrection in the island from
the beginning of February, 1895, to
the beginning of December of the
year just terminated, not more
than 53,000 (a little over one
fourth) are at this moment fit for
active service. The 147,000 are
j either dead or sent back to the
motherland ill or wounded. The
causes of this unprecedented death
rate and sick list are (besides
casualties in action ) mainly three :
(1) the inappropriateness of the
clothing furnished to the European
troops; (2) fatigue; and (3) lack
of food. The report, which does
not apparently err on the score of
reticence, paints a lurid picture
of military service in the chief
Spanish colony. Under successive
gener?is the three years' campaign,
in spite of numberless royalist
"victories," leaves Cuba as pre
carious a Spanish possession as
ever; while a whole generation
must intervene before island and
motherland alike can recover from
the loss of blood, property and
treasures.-Scientific American.
WHO WAS THERE.
Wm. Jennings Bryan spoke at
Due West on last Friday. The
Greenwood Index ext?a, tells us
who of the candidates for State
officers were there as follows:
On the stage at Due West there
was a fine assembly of prominent
people. Among them were : Gov.
Ellerbe, Senator McLauriu, Con.
grossman Lentz, of Ohio, Show
alter, of Pensyl vania, Norton and
Laitmer, of South Carolina, Goo.
D. Tillman. President Hartzog, of
Clomson College, Rev. J. Walter;
Danif 1, Abbeville, and others.
Uncle George Tillman, the "Nu
midan Lion," was hore. He is a
free silver mau of long st andi r\
He is looming up as a candidate
for Governor.
Maj or Hub Evans, of Newberry, j
came up and remained over night.
He was hading a good time, and
incidentally running for Attorney

Senator McLaurin, minus the
curls, was willi the Columbia

Mr. Bryan foi two years.
Seuator Archer, an aggressive
candidate for Governor, circulated
among the people yesterday.
Governor Eilerbe was on the
stand here. He came up from
Columbia.
Col. KnoxTiivingston, a cand

Wozrg.
M. R. Cooper, a candidate for
Secretary of State, was up.
It is impossible for the rrj st

This "the gem of the Antilles,"
the largest in the Weet India group
of islands, was discovered by Co
lumbus about two weeks after he
first sighted land in the new world,
and 1511 it was colonized by Spain.
Twice has its capital city been de
stroyed by the French (1534 aud
1554), in their wars with their Eu
ropean neighbor, which extended
to their respective colonies; in
1624 the Dutch took it, but in a
short time restored it; in 1762 the
British possessed themselves of the
coveted little country, holding it
till the next year, when it was sur
rendered by treaty to its former
masters. Since that time they have
held it without contention of for
eign powers, but against the will
of an increasing element of its . in
habitants, and despite their occa
sional fierce resistance.
Cuba lies between 19? and 23?
north latitude, and 74? 30' and 85?
west longitude. At a point on ita
north coast, directly south from
Cape Sable, Florida, it is distant
about 120 miles. In length, ex
tending east and west, it is more
than 600 miles ; in its narrowost
part it is 21 miles wide and in itB
widest 111. Its area is 43,220
squat e miles, or 27,660,800 acres.
Compared with American States,
it is somewhat larger than Ken
tucky, Ohio, Tennessee or Virginia,
and as large as seven of the East
ern States, Connecticut, Delaware,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Rhode Island, and
Vermont. Its population is 1,632,
000, about one-fifth of whom (230,
000) are residents of Havana, the
capital. The island would furnish
homes for twelve millions of peo
ple, and then be but little more
densely populated than Massa
chusetts now is. In .the southeast
it is mountainous, some points of
the ranges being about 8,000 feet
high. The central and western
parts are the moBt fertile, but
much of the surface is still cover
ed with forests of various growth,
among which are valuable timbers,
palms mahogany, ebony, and cedar.
Tropical fruits, of course, abound.
The chief and ^ ery profitable crops
are sugar, coffee and tobacco.
These, with molasses, some of the j
most valuable * timbers, and some
-?rui-ks;-?*O-?l?-?pp*?<l-frvtu ?tho:' va-"" .
rious parts, chiefly to the United
States, and in time of peace are
sources of great revenue, of a large
part of which, however, the island
ers are despoiled by the Spanish
government. In 1894 the sugar
crop was 1,050,000 tons, and the
average annual tobacco crop, under
normal conditions, is about 450,
000 bales ; out the war has brought
disaster to all agricultural inter
ests, so that in 1896 the sugar crop
was about 200,000 tons, or less
than one-fifth, and the tobacco
crop was 50,000 bale?, or one-ninth
of the normal quantity. The de
cline of the island's commerce
with the United States, as indi
cated by statistics prepared for the
Agricultural Department, showB
how ruinous the conflict has be
come to the Cuban people. The
year before the present war began,
the trade amounted to $102,864,
204 ; but for the fiscal year ended
June 30,1896, it was or'y $47,548,
610, or 46 per cent of what it was
60 recently. It is estimated that
the close of the year, June 30,
1897, found it to be only about
$20,000,000, or less than oue-fifth
of what it waa before the revolt.
Of the population, 65 per cent
are white. This consists of native
Spaniards (known as the
peninsular class), who are recent
immigrants from Spain, mostly
officials, ex-officials, wealthy plant
ers and merchants, to the number
of about 60,000; and about a mil
lion of insulars, or native Cubans,
descendants, of the Spani sh
conquerors. There are
probably 50,000 Chinese laborers
on the plantations, and the
remainder of the population con
sists of negroes and mulattoes, who
constitute the great majority of
farm and domestio laborers. In
the city of Havana alone there are
about 76,000 blacks-nearly a
third of its residents. Negro slavery
existed iu the island till 1886.
Governmental provision for its
gradual extinction began in 1880.
Havana has been described &s
a wonderful city because of its
spacious harbor, its old fortifica
tions, and its marble buildings;
the old city, formerly within the
walls, and the new one, laid out
with considerable architectural
effect ; its modified air of autiquity
contrasting with its modern bustle
aud its dirty streets, which are
smeared with sugar and molasses
the whole presenting a picture of
iuflnite ?variety. The frowning
old Castle Moro, with its greater
aud lesser guns, look* out upon
the water approach to the wealthy

and in general gay metropolis,
while over it floats the flag of
Spain, the emblem of a power
detested by the people who have
long groaned under injustice and
the oppression born of a greed
which hates the wealth-producers
of the island while it wantonly
plunders them. In the great
Cathedral of Havana repose, after
several removals, the bones of
Columbus. His son Diego is alRO
entombed there.
A glance at the government and
the manner of, administering it
will show what cause the islanders
have had for revolting again and
again, aDd why people who hate
oppression, the world over, are
in sympathy with them. The
supreme executive power is vested
in a governor-general, who is
appointed by the Crown and who
is nominally under the immediate
control of Secretary for the
Colonies. Associated with the
governor-general is a Council of
Government whose members are
also appointed by the Crown, but
thia is a mere advisory, without
authority either to restrain or to
direct. The governor-general has
such large discretionary power
that hetcan suspend the execution
ofa law or decree of the Madrid
government in cases of what he
may choose to consider a necessity.
For purposes of civil admin
istration the island is divided into
nix provinces, each of which has
a governor appointed by the
Spanish home government, and
these provincial govei nora report
to tne governor-general.
There is a legislative assembly,
whose members are elected by the
people ; but its functions are almost
farcical as, they embrace little
except the making of suggestions.
It is not a law-making body.
Each province is represented
in the Spauish Cortes by persons
of its choosing-the number of
members sent to the Lower House
determined by the population, and
each electing two to the Senate.
At this time there are 30 deputies
and 14 senators, the 12 from the
provinces being supplemented by
one each from the University of
Havana and the Royal Society of
Friends of the Country, an organist
???mi-^uvutiSor^d*^aiKng ?'? a
upholding that sort of patriotism
which licks the hand that smites.
For military purposes there aie
threo departments. A single officer
is entrusted with the administra
tion of naval affairs.
For convenience in the adminis
tration of justice there are two
groat districts and 28 sub-districtB,
each of which has a judge.
The Spauish Constitution binds
the government to establish , and .
maintain the Romun Catholic 1
Church, at home and in the Colo
nies, and in Cuba there aro two
ecclesiastical divisions, the Arch
bisopric of Santiago and the Bish- .
opric of Havana.
There is au economical or royal ;
property department which is I
charged with the management of ]
the finances.
No accurate statement of rev- i
euues, received and expended, can I
be made for any year since 1893- i
1894, Spain could not collect taxes i
in Cuba, and the decline of com- |
merce had reduced the customs re
ceipts to about one-fourth of what 1
they had previously been. The 1
Madrid government levies a tiix, in
one form and other, of from $20,
000,000 to $26,000,000 annually. 1
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1
1894, more than $20,000,000 was
collected; but the expenditures
for that time, when ordinary con
ditions obtained, were greatly in
excess of this, and so it had gone
on until Spain's debt on account,
of Cuba alone was $159,849.000.
Since then it has been increased by
some millions. The expenses of
the war (which of course the Cu
bans are expected to pay in case
they are again Bubdued) are reck
oned to be about $120,000,000 a
year. The debt of Spain, includ
ing that on account of Cuba, is
more than a billion of dollars, and
is rapidly increasing by reason of
the revolt in both Cuba and the
Philippine Islands, as woll aB by
unfavorable conditions at home.
A little iuterest to Americans, in
connection with th?R debt, is the
fact that over $570,000 of it is
due to the United States.
Some idea of what it costs Cuba
to maiuatin the parasites that
have for a long time beeu draining
her life-blood (the Spanish civil,
military and other functionaries
sot to misgovHru and keep her in
subjection), is furnished by
salary items. The population of
Spain and all her colonies ?B
scarcely three-eights as great as
that of the United States, but the
governor-general of Cuba, - having
in charge a population about threo
fourths as great as that of the
little State of Massachusetts, is
better provided for than the Presi
dent of the United States, the
executive of a mighty people,
inhabiting a country compared
with which CuU* is amere speck.
This Spanish appointee nas a
salary of $50,000 a year, a palace
in Havana, and a summer houee
in the country, with servants,
coaches, and a fund at his disposal
for the employment of spies and
pimps-is maintained at the ex
pense of the Cuban people in a
sort of regal diguity to which our
Ch;ef Magistrate ia a stranger,
though the nation over which he
presides is the richest on the
globe.
Here follows a list of salaries
paid other civil officers, and of
those appointed to miltary, naval
and other crown positions:
Director-General of the
Treasury, $18,500
Archbiship of Sau ti ago, 18,000
Bishop of Havana, 18,000
Coramander-Gen'l of the
Naval Station, 16,392
The General who is sec
ond in command in the
island, 15,000
The President of tho Au
' dieucia, 15,000
Governor of Havana, 8,000
Secretary of the General
4 Government, 8,000
PoBtmaster-Geueral, 5,000
Collector of the Havana
Custom House, 4,000
Manager of Lotteries, 4,000

tration, first-class, 5,000

Chief Clurks of Admi iis

Major-Generals, each, 7,500
Brigadier-Generals, each, 4,500
Brigadier-Generals, each,
when in command, 5,000
Colonels, each (salary is
increased when in com
mand), 3,45o
Captains of largest men
of-war, each, 6,300
Captains of frigales, each, 4,560
Lieutenants of the navy,
first-class, each, 3,370
All these officers are entitled to
free ledging and to domestic ser
vants at the public expense. A
host of minor officiais have pro
portionate salaries.
Some of the items of annual
expenditure help to bring into
stronger light the financial burdens
borno by this people for the
purpose of keeping themselves
enslaved. Judged by Americas
standards, on the basis of our State
government expenses, the following
summary gives figures six times as
great aa would be necessary uudar
purely local rule, and a wri
ter . apparently fully informed
as to Cuban affairs, says
that this money taken under forms
of law does not represent more than
is taken by peculation and fraud
These are the figures for a year
under ordinary conditions; how
much more astounding must they
be in time of war, if we admit that
the islanders will eventually be
made to pay :
Interest on the Spauish
national debt. $10,500 000
Army and navy. 7,000 000
Civil list. 4,000 000
Pensions to retired milita
ry and civil officers and
their widows. 2,000 000
Department of Jubtice. 1,000 000
Department of Finance. 700,000
Even these figures mark an ex
penditure of $15.44 per capita, or
5Sper cent of the entire currency
per capita of the United States.
The paternal government makes
no appropriation to educate the
masses. It would be harder than
it has been to keep the people in
bondage if popu'ar education was
provided for.
In a>lditiou to the direct ex
actions spoken of, the tariff and
other commercial laws passed by
the Cortes are so framed as to
benefit Spain, while they discour
age industry and enterprise in
Cuba and prevent the full develop
ment of her groat resources.
This article is intended mainly
to explain in brief the economic
conditions of Cuba, as brought
about by more than three hundred
years of misrule. The story of
filibustering attempts to wrest
her from her Spauish mas
ters, or rather to aid her
citizens in doing this, and
of the repeated struggles of the
islanders themselves to establish
their independence and institute
free government, would require
-a volume told however
nctly it possibly
could be. As said previously,
foreign powers have occasioua'ly
held temporary possession. The
expedition of Lopez (1850), in
wiich Crittenden, the gallant
young Kentuckian, lost his iife
but spoke wDrds of defiance and of
high meaning when standing be
fore his executioners, which must
have thrilled even the oru'.'l Span
iard, and which his home people
will thiuk upon as long as they
cherish valor,-this of itself would
require a chapter.
Uprisings have beeu many during
tha last half century-in 1850-51,
1855, 1868, 18S5, and 1895. The
struggle which began tn February,
L895, has been desperately waged
until this time, and tho en? ?B not
yet.
In 1868 began a ten-year conflict.
At last, seeing hopeless!] jes of
their cause, tho patriots consented
to enter into a treaty, and the
Spanifb go verum wt agreed to
give liberal terms, and inaugurate
reforms which would tend to
pacification and bring about
prosperity. By royal decree of
August 8, 187b, an important con
cession was made, Cuba was to have
representative government. Every
province was to elect deputies
to the Cortes -one to every 40,000
free inhabitants. But the freedom,
the economic advantage, the
protection of persona! and public
rights, that were to come of these
have failed utterly of realization.
Spoliation, confiscation in effect,
if not in set terms, disregard of
personal and public righto, the
insolence of office, the neglect of
popular education, the enriching
of the few at the expense of the
many,-these things have
gone ou in open day and eveu
i vaunted themselves, to the ex
asperation of a long-suffering and
outraged people.
Spain is faithless when dealing
with an inferior. All tho world
knows that. Spain is avarcious
and cruel in ber avarice. All
the world has knowu that 6iuce
Cortez and Pizarro tortured the
gentle and confiding (why not say
noble?) Aztecs, in order that they
might get gold and fame and the
smiles of Spanish monarchs whose
standard of nobility was the
money that it could command,
lu the language ot Senator Frye,
"Cuba was her sponge," which she
squeezed without regard to the
people she was squeezing to death,
in order that her favorites might
grow fat.
With disconient and murmur
ings and occasional manifesta
tions of popular fury, Cuba bore
with this disappointment, this
renewed insolence and faithless
ness, anti. 1895, when, as
previously the fires of revolution
broke out anew. For nearly three
years the islanders, reinforced by
sympathizing Americans, have
struggled with the Spanish power.
The captaiu-geueral first entrusted
with ?h > work of subduing the
patriots was recalled because he
lacked the savage ferocity deemed
in Spain essential to the subjuga
tiou'of slaves who dared to cry
out when Ihey'were forced to
additional toil to make good the
tale of bricks when the supply of
straw was withheld ; and Weyler
(surnamed "The Butcher") was
substituted. Outrages, shocking j
kop.ivilL7.fl.tion;, haye been perpetra^
Dd upon captured Cubans, meu and
women. Injuries not atoned for
aavfi been mflicted upon American
citizens. Insulting acts and
speech have in the main been the
?eply to the petitions aud
?emoustrances of American diplo
natic and consular agents. And
ret, the wily Spanish government
iud its agents in Cuba have
prudently abstained from giving
he United States a well-defined
sause of war.
A belligerency measure passed
he American Senate iu the
lummer of 1897; the American
)eople, acting as individual s, have
lefied international law in order
o carry aid and comfort to the
slanders.
.Wheo Wm. Crittenden, captur
id with fifty of his men after the
icheme of Lopez Lad evidently
railed, and carried to Havana,
itood ready for execution, the
spanish officer having charge of
he shooting detail ordered him to

Deen the Spauish manner duriug

inswored firmly: "A Kentuck

The Johnston Institute.
THERE are schools and schools, but there .re.some reasons why you should
patronize the Johnston Institute:
1st.-Johnston is a healthful location, on the famous "Ridge," which com
prises portions of Aiken, Edgefield, Lexington and Saluda Counties. It
is absolutely free from malaria. The same diurnal range of temperature
as ?Santa Barbara, Cal.
2nd.-Johnston is a moral community with few allurements to vice. No bar
rooms or vicious company to degrade the students. >
3rd.-The Superintendents conduct two boarding halls-Pickens Hall for
young men and Rebecca Motte Hall for young ladies. In these Halls the
Students are under restrictions and give their undivided time to their
studies.
Uh.-The Institute is conducted on a Military basis. Boys are permitted, but
not required, to wear uniforms. This uniform is cheap, handsome and
durable. Students are taught to obey, as one can never rule well until
he lirst learns to obey well.
Our course of study is thorough, practical and progressive. We flt stu
dents for life, as College Diplomas are issued to those who deserve them,
h.-We have Special Departments offering superior instructions in Book
keeping, Fainting and Music. Call and see the character of work done.
Our rooms are open to inspection.
7tli.-We have a bigschool. There is something stimuiatingand inspiringabout
large schools, because children learn not only from books but by ab
sorption.
8th.-We have eleven teachers, S. M. Martin. John Lake, A. J. Reamy, C. C.
Herbert, Miss A.S.Arnold, Miss Sophie Swearin^en, Mrs. L.C.Latimer,
Miss Sue Sloan, Mrs. S. S. Cobb, Mrs. J. H. White, Mrs. A. J. Reamy. We
will add more if necessary.
Uth.-Our School is linger Christian influence, but strictly unsectarian. No
narrow denominational lines are drawn.
IOU).-We are giving Hiebest poss)ble education at the least possible cost.
The Institute is the school for the people. Board and tuition from $10
ro ? 12 per month, according to grade. Frovisions taken in payment of
board. Students received at any time. For further information address
