Edenfield Advertiser Ti'OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MAY ?8. The flying squadron has been ordered to sea. It goes to head off the Cape Verde fleet. Gen. Joe Wheeler will command the entire cavalry force after the American armies land in Cuba. The batteries stationed at Forts Wadsworth, Hancock and Monroe have been ordered to Tampa immediately. A despatch from Havana via Kingston reports that 900 Span iards were killed in a battle with insurgents. ... . Sixty-five thousand volunteers have been mustered into the ser ' vice, this is a little more than half . : the entire call for 125,000. . The arrival of the Spanish fleet at Martinque postpones the invas ion of Cuba indefinitely, according to the statement of a cabinet official. The United States Supreme Court has decided that the Missis sippi suffrage law is valid, and this is taken tornean that the South Carolina suffrage law will stand. Porto Kico did not surrender notwithstanding the heavy bom bardment. We must not expect a Dewey victory every time-some reverses must come. Sampson's job is a much bigger one than Dewey's. Secretary Long sent the follow ing instructions to Sampson and Schley and to Capt. Clarke of the Oregon, on the 16th inst.: "The enemy's ships in the Carribean sea must be found and captured or destroyed." Inasmuch as there are 300 cases of smallpox iu Columbia would it not be wise to have the State dem ocratic convention assemble some where else this year. It is, how ever, too late to advise, as the con vention meets to-day, Wednesday. A Tallahassee (Fla.) paper says that while two acres of land in that vicinity planted to cotton yield a crop worth but $30 at prevailing prices, the same space planted to cabbages would, at the present price of cabbages, bring from $120 to $140. The moral is obvious. On the day of the naval battle at Mauila there was but one George Dewey; now although two weeks have not elapsed since the news of the victory reached us, there are George Deweys in all parts of the country. And the crop of Ameri can baby boys so named shows no sign of curtailment.-Ex. The guns of the National Guards, a colored military organization of Charleston, have been taken to Co lumbia. The government thinks that guns in the hands of military companies are for use, not for show, and when they will not go to the front when called upon their guns are to be given io those who will. The Baptists are jubilant at the receipt of telegrams saying that at last the home and foreign mission boards are out of debt for the first time in five y oars. "For foreign missions $127,000 was raised, and for home missions $50,000. The debt on foreign missions was $55,000. The Woman's Missionary Union makes its report, and so does the Sunday school board. Creasy's ' fifteen decisive battles of the world" says : "All republics that acquire supremacy over other nations rule them selfishly and op pressively," and for illustration gives . Carthaga, Rome, Venice, Genoa, Florence, Pisa, Holland, and Republican France, who, "all tyrannized over every province and subject state where they gained authority." We shall soon, per haps, have the opportunity of see ing how these United States will govern subject provinces. Military meu in Washington of the best judgment are of the opin ion that .the war with Spar, will last at least three years, even though we win every battle on the sea and drive the Spaniards out of Cuba and Porto Rico, and army men say Spain should be invaded with a force of 100,000 men. On the other hand naval authorities hold that six weeks will end the whole business, that with the fall of Cuba and Porto Rico Spain will have no base for operating on this side of the big branch, and will give up the unequal contest. The truth, as in almost all matters, probably lies between these two extremes. Low prices, nice qualiiy, nice assortment of Hats and Flowers at Miss Aycock's millinery store. BLANCO ATTEMPTS TO ENTRAP AMERICANS. Another Spider and Fly Trick Which Failed. ENGAGEMENT OFF HAVANA Decoy Ships Sent Out to Bring United States Ships Under Big^ Guns of Moro and Santa Clara' Yankees Had Fallen Into Trap Once. Key West, May 15.-Captain General Blanco, two hours before sundown tonight, attempted to execute a ruse, which if succssful would have cleared the front of Havana of six ships on that blockading station. Unable to come out to do battle, ho adopted the tactics of the spider and cuningly planned to draw the prey into his net, but though a clever and pretty scheme, as an original proposition, it wa3 practically a repetition of the trick by which the gunboat Vickburg and the little converted revenue cutter Morrin were last week decoyed by a fish ingsmack ui?der the big Krupp guns of Santa Clara batteries. Late this afternoon ths sh ipr? on the Havaua station were dumb founded to see two ships steam out I of Havana harbor and head east. Dense smoke was streaming like blacK; ribbons from their stacks, and a glance showed that they were under a full head of steam. By aid of gianses, Commander Lilly, of the Mayflower, which was flying the pennaut, made out the larger vessel of the two, which was about 200 feet long and 4,500 tons displacement, to be the cruiser Al phonso XII., and the smaller one to be the gunboat Legazpt, both of which were known to be bottled up in Havana harbor. At first he supposed that they were taking advantage of the absence or the heavy fighting ships and were making a bone fide run for tho open sea. As superior officer, he immediately signalled the other ships on the station, the Vicksburg, Annapolis, Wasp, Tecumseh and Osceola, which were moving in, to form a column eu echelon, with gunboats on the right flank. The little squadron moved in obliquely toward the fleeing Spaniards, keeping up a running fire as they went. The Alphonso and her consort circled in shore about five miles below Havana, and, after running in for half a mile, headed back for Moro castle. Our gunboats and the other thinskiuned vessels of the mosquito fleet did not follow in. The Associated Press dispatch boat Kate Spencer witnessed the action, which lasted over au hour, ^s a spectacle, the greatest master of stagecraft could not have evolved a finer setting. The big Alphonso and her convoy steamed swiftly from the dark shadow of the harbor's mouth, and, turning sharply east, ran along the coast as though to slip through the cordon of blockade. It was a bold trick and not at first transparent, although the fol ly of it created a suspicion as there was no hope of ultimate escape, and no object in escaping. The Mayflower, standing well out, like a cat wi*h a mouse, gave a slight stare, then swinging her engines and tiny squadron into line, dashed in to line, dashed m to cut them off. The Spanish boats crowded on steam and stood along the coast as long as they dared give zest to the chase. The Mayflower signalled her consorts, "close in and charge." Word was flung on from ship to ship, as they steamed in columu en echelon. Seeing the bait had apparently taken, the Spaniards veered aboat and, bringing their stern chasers to bear on the Americans, doubled back for Moro. Two of the shells from the Vicks burg burst in the rigging of the Alphonso and some of it came down, but it was, of course, impos sible to know whether any fatali ties occurred. The American fire was much more accurate than the Spanish, as every shell of the lat ter fell short of their pursuers. The Sprniard? were a mile off Moro, and our ships fully four miles further out, when flames leaped from the batteries of "Santa Clara forts and clouds of white smoke drifted up the coast. Half a minute later a dull, heavy roar of a great gun came like a deep diap ason of an organ ou high treble of smaller guns. It was from one of the 12-inch Krupps mounted there, and an S50-pound projectile plung ed into the water half a mile inside of the American line, throwing up a tower of white spray. It richo chetted and struck again half a mile outside. The mask was now oil. Mad dened by the failure of their plot, the Spaniards continued to fire at intervals of about 10 minutes. In all, 13 shots were fired, but not one struck within 200 yards of one of our ships. As soon as the battery opened, Commander Lilly signall ed, an i his fleet stood off shore. Captain McKenzie on the bridge of the Vicksburg, watched the fall of the shells, but he considered it useless to waste ammunition at that distance. He appeased the desire of the mon at the guns, how ever, by letting go a fiual broad side at the Spanish ships, in ths chance hope of making them pay for their daring before they gained the harbor, but they steamed in under Moro's guns untouched, and as they disappeared fired sev eral shots. A number of shots were sent after them at that mo ment by the Annapolis, which dropped inside the harbor, proba bly creating consternation among scores of bum boats on tho water front. Commander McKenzie thinks, as do other officers of the fleet, that the Alphonso has been stripped of her battery and guns, and those used to-day were only temporarily mounted. If it was the Alphonso XIII, she must have found new boilers, since lately she was a helpless cripple in Havana harbor. From the action of the Krupp guns it is evident the Spaniards have no cordite and are using ordinary cocoa powder. Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever In Cae Dav. Of Interesting Table of Distances. These figures are well worth past ing in your hat if you are a student of the war situation : Manila to Hong Kong, 630 miles Manila to San Francisco, 6,520 miles Hong Kong to Hawaii, 4,800 miles Hawaii to San Francisco, 2,080 miles Yokohoma to San Francisco, 4,500 miles San Francisco to New York, via Cape Horn, 13,610 miles Liverpool to New York, 3,017 miles New York to Cadiz, 3,120 mijes New York to Havana, 1,215 miles Key West to Havana, 90 miles Key West lo Porto Rico, 1,040 miles Cape de Verde to Porto Rico, 2, 370 miles Hampton Roads to Porto Rico, 1,200 miles. Cadiz to Canary Islands, 780 miles. Cana.y Islands to Cape Verdi?, 856 miles. Cardiz to Cape de Verde. 1,636 miles. Cardiz to Manila, 12,780 miles. Should Spain undertake to Eend a fleet, from Cadiz to Manila her route would be way of Cape town. The distances by this route are as follows : Cadiz to St. Helena, 3.812 miles. St Helena to Cape Town, 1682 miles. Cape To ?vu jg Mauritius, 2,200 miles. W Mauritius f Columbo, 2,900 miles. Columbo to Singapore, 1,560 miles. Singapore to Manila. 1,436 miles. If Spain wa3 allowed to send her fleet through the Mediter ranean, the Red Sea, the Suez Canal and the Arabica Sea the distance to Manila would be lessened about 3,500 miles.

Most middle-aged persons remember well when cornbread was served upon nearly all tables in the South aud West at least twice a day. Soinentimes it ap peared in the form of "hoecake," or "butter bread," and again in "pones." It was par exceltence the bread of the negio, and every man who served in the Confederate army was also full graduate in the use of it. Now the darkies eschew it where wheat bread is to be obtained, and upon the tablss of thousands of Southern and Western whites it never appearB at all, while others continue.to use it only for dinner. Now why is this? Surely corn meal is as it ever waB. Those who sincerely, but probably mistakenly, believe that "water ground" meal is better than the product of mills turned by steam, can always find a supply of that in most cities, and it is c eamon enough iu the country. T^ere is no trouble about tho meal ; but we doubt whether the art of cooking it has been preserved. The high toned colored damsels who turned out by the public schools are not the adepts that our old Aunt DinahB and Aunt Peggys were. No self-respecting pan of dough would be conjured into sbxpe by buch unskilled hands. And then we may seriously doubt whether cornbread can be cooked in a stove as well as an open fireplaco. The Indians laid their dough cakes between layers of forest, leaves or upon the hard ground, and cooked them in the hot ashes. Hence "aehcake," a very luscious product, indeed, when one has whetted his appetite for it by a a long day's hunting. The hoecake was so called because it was originally baked upou a hoe-that ever-ready useful instrument of agriculture which is to be found upon every plantation. P>ut later on cooking utensils were manufactured which took the place of the humble hoe. So, too, shingles were used whereupon to place the dough while it went through the process of becoming a well-done ashcake.-Richmond Dispatch.
