Edffefield Advertiser TJ'US. J. ADAMS, - . - - - EDITOK WEDNESDAY, MAY ll. Private advices received at head quarteis say that Dewey is in ac : tual possession of the Philippine islands. Ben Tillman and Mark lianna embraced each other in the office of Secretary Long upon hearing the news from Dewey. The United States Supreme Court in its recent decision "Ma nilad" Simonton-tore him all to pieces, blew him up and sunk him in the soup. Old England is playing a shrewd game in the present war that will come to the surface later-her fin ger is deep in the war pie, (to be eaten, of course, after peace comes.) The capture of a big French steamer trying to enter Havana last Saturday may bring on a fit of French complications of small moment, but it will amount to a mere bagatelle. Thnre are serious riots in Spain precipitated by the Dewey victory of the Philippines, but due more probably to the want of meat and bread among the working classes of that country. The war so effectually holds the fort that politics is almost nil. We can only say this, that there are only two candidates for Governor. Ellerbe and the other fellow-the other fellow is Watson. The intervention of European powers is all moon-Bhiue-they do interfere sometimes ostensibly in favor of the weaker power, but ac tually and always in favor of the other fellow, vide Turkey and Greece. The Queen regent of Spain, al though beset by difficulties and threatened with violence, will probably hold the sceptre until the end come?. Her courage and equipoise is to be generously com mended even by Americans. The war will accomplish great good for our country industrially and financially, especially the South, if it lasts long enough. The man who can't see this is as dull as dishwater. Already provisions have advanced 25 per cent, and _gollan.hAR_cyme_Tip mrvro rhanrono cent a pound. Of course Dewey deserves all praise for the victory at Manila and yet it was like shooting at a squirrel in a tree. Our guns were of a longer range than the Span iards, and they didn't touch our vessels at all until Dewey saw fit to allow it by moving up near enough.. The first expedition for Cuba sailed from Tampa on Sunday night last. The steamer Gussie one of the Mallory line, carried arms, ammunition, and supplies for the insurgents. A company of regulars, 100 strong, accompanied the expedition to aid in landing the cargo on the coast of Cuba. Most of the nations of the earth have declared neutrality in the war now raging beiween this coun try and Spain excepting Germany. This country declares she will be absolutely neutral except when it is to her interest to be the other way, and then she will be tho other way. We admire her pluck and honesty. Few nations are abso lutely neutral, no matter how strong their official declarations to that effect may be. In the South Carolina dispen sary cases the United States Su preme Court has decided that the original package stores must shut up, that the citizen can buy liquor for his own use anywhere he pleases, but not for sale, and that the State alone can grant the right to sell liquor within her territory, aud that the federal courts cannot enjoin the State from closing up 0. P. houses and blind tigers. This puts the dispensary law on top and "soups" Simonton for once. Of course ... Jo not give the phrase ology of the court but only the meaning of the decision stripped to the skin.

Hash Went j Washington, May 7.-A day of excitement, such as to-day has not. been seen in Washington eince the days when reports came in of great victories during the civil war. Official and unofficial Washing ton was in a ferment, and few of the employees in any of the de partments could maintain their composure sufficiently to go on with their routine work. Tney were in an explosive state, and ai the great state, war and navy department buildings the least sign of dispatches or the gath ering of a crowd of reporters was sufficient to c^use them to drop their work and swarm in the cor ridors clamoring for news. The excitement was contagious, and senators and representatives mixed uto crowds that gathered around the navy headquarters and gazed wistfully at the mahogany doors of the navigation bureau, be hind which the cipher experts, un der iock and key, were slowly de ciphering the words that conveyed Dewey's glorious message to the American people. Senator Hanna aroused the crowd at one time by leading with a hip, hip hurrah for Dewey, and later a roar of stentorian cheer? from Theodore Roosevelt's room gathered everybody iii the vast building to the east wing in time to witness the departure of the eastern contingent of the mounted ridemen. Mr. Roosevelt had said goodbye to the boys before they started at 2.40 o'clock this afternoon for San Antonio, and the cheer was the means by which they took their leave. Mr. Roosevelt will himself fol low Monday or Tuesday. Tbe state department has the honor of receiving the first news from the fleet. It came in the shape of a cable gram of three words from United States Consul Wildman, at Hong Kong, and was as follows : "Hong-Kong. McCullooh. Wild man." .??-?bat is the usual form in which navt.1 movements are reported by cable. This dispatch was received by Third Assistant Secretary Crid ier, who had been on duty all night, at 4.40 o'clock this morning. The naval officials were promptly notified, and awaited with iutenpe interest the dispatch which was expected to surely follow from Commodore Dewey. About 9.30 o'clock Manager Ma reen, of the Western Union Tele graph company, appeared at the department, bringing with him a sheet comprising four lines of this mysterious jargon which makes up the naval cipher. He handed this directly to Sec retary Long, who gazed at it for a moment and turned it over to Lieutenant Whil.tue's secretary, one of the cipher experts of the navigation bureau, for translation into English. Then Secretary Long made a pretense of sitting down at his desk to transact other business, but it was plain te be seen that, in spirit, he had joined the anxious throng of newspaper men and offi cials who thronged the reception room and corridors waiting for the news. The naval cipher is one of the most complex in the world. The messages come in words of strange formation, taken from all lau- ; 2;uages. These words are turned by the tianslating clerks into groups of figures, and there, in turn, are resolved into their equW- ? aleut words in English. All this takes time. In about half an hour Secretary i Long appeared with a cjpy of the i translated cipher in h'.s hand. i There was a great rush toward him, but the secretary good na turedly made allowance for the excitement of the crowd, and smil ingly read from the corner of the room into which he had been foi ced the following cablegram : Manila, May 1.-Squadron ar rived at Manila.at daybreak this morning. Immediately engaged : the enemy and destroyed the fol- '. lowing Spanish vessels: Reina Christina, Castilla, Don Antonio de Ulloa, Isla de Luzon, Isla de , Cuba, General Lezo, Marques de j Duero, Correo, Velasco, Isla de < Mindanao, a transport, and water battery at Cavite. The squadron ? is uninjured and only a few men are ?lightly wounded. Only means of telegraphing is to American consul at Hong-Kong. I shall communicate with him. j (Signed) "DEWEY." Before this a brief summary of the cablegram, as tar as received, had been given out by prominent officers, in which ;;was stated that Dewey cut the ct.bio himself, but was unable to tako possession of the town of Manila for lack of men ; j also that he had the bay and every thing else completely at his mercy. It was immediately noticed that the cablegram, as officially pro mulgated, did not entirely agree with this brief summary, and the 3 presumption was that, in tbs ehort >aniards Bite Dust. RICAN KILLED. /as Ready Dewey and After Eating at it Again. time accorded for translation, the officials had concluded that it was public policy to expurgate' the dis patch. The second dispatch was re ceived from Commodore Dewey be fore noon. I twas as follows : "Cavite, May 4.-I have taken possession of the naval station at; Cavite, Philippine Islands, and de stroyed its fortifications. Have destroyed fortifications at bay en trance, parolling the garrison. I control the bay completely and can take the city at any time. Squadron in excellent health and spirits. The Spanish loss not fully known, bnt very heavy, 150 killed, including Capt. 0. Reina Marina. I am assisting in protecting the Spanish sick and wounded. Two hundred and fifty sick and wound ed in the hospital within our lines. Much excitement at Manila. Will protect foreign resider, s. (Signed) "DEWEY." Spaniards Admit Heavy Loss. Madrid, May 7.-An official dispatch from General Augusti, governor general of the Philip pines, sentb}7 the way of Labuan, says : "The enemy seized Cavite aud the arsenal, owing to the destruct ion of the Spanish squadron aud established a close blockade. It is said that, at the request of the consuls, the enemy will not bom bard Manila for the present, provided I do not open fire on the enemy's squadron, which is out of range of our guns. Therefore, I cannot fire until they come nearer. A thousand sailors arrived here yesterday evening from our de stroyed squadron, the losses of which number 618." A conference of the authorities has been held, at which it was decided to send influental em mi8aries to the provinces to raise the spirit of the people, especially those provided with arms, and endeavor to induce them to aband on the insurrection. Captain General Blanco wires from Havana as follows : "One of the enemy's ships ventured within the range of one of our batteries which inflicted slight damage and compelled the ship to retire at full speed. Ano ther vessel bombarded the bat teries at the entrance to Matanzas, firing 65 projectiles at the beacon light and block house 19 limes and damaged. Only one soldier was wounded."

Then bayed the wild shore batteries : "We'll put his ships to flight!

Ho! gunners, left and right The fires of hell are blazing And Dewey leads the fight!" Then sank their ships forever-their proud flags furled from sight, For Dewey held the harbor in the night Night, . Night! And the stars and stripes waved "Vic tory !" o'er the morning hills of light, When Dewey gained the harbor in the night! "The foe is upon us! Our vessels sink from sight! Cease, guns, to belch your thunders, ; For Dewey gains the fight!" -Constitution.- . ? MARK TWAIN'S RECIPE." Tlie Way they Make Coffee^ in Europe. "Take a barrel of water and. bring it to a boil, nib a chiccory berry against a coffee berry, then convey the forniprinto the water. . Insert the remains of an old cow in a hydraulic press and when you shall have acquired a teaspoon ful of that pale Mue juice which an old superstition regards , as milk, modify the malignity of its strength in a bucket of tepid water and ring up the breakfast, Mix tbe beverage in a cold cup, partake with moderation and keep a wet rag around your head to guard against over-excitement." This method of preparation aud serving is a fair example of the manner in which Portum Cereal Food Coffee, regular coffee, tea and other bever age are treated in too many easies. No good thing can be obtained without ^he expenditure of some skill and time. A delicious and high y nounshing;'driiik can be had from Postum if " bailed full 15 minutes after boiling commences. It is rich in the phosphats and its use in place of coffee for 10 days will, in many cases, relieve stom ach, bowel, and nervous troubles. It is worth trial by any one with any sort of functional trouble for the- curious complex manner, in which a disorganized nervous system works, is liable to- produce trouble in any organ of the body and a relief irom the (un?uspecf'-.d V, cause "will produce relief in "the' disorder. Postum at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in place of coffee; may solve the problem. It is worth a trial. Weather for April. >|:. Weather Observer C. A.
