WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1.
A regiment of sockless populisfct
led by Sockless Jerry Simpson if
- on the programme.
Jerry Simpson has asked per
mission to raise a regiment ol
populists for the Cuban war.
The last call for 75,000 men ne
cessitates the appointment of eight
major-generals and twenty-four
brigadiers, besides a host of small
er fry and lesser lights.
The President has calied for 75,
000 additional troops. See proc
lamation in another column. Un
der this call South Carolina will
required to furnish about 1,000
men.
The great Roman general Fab
rius Maximus, won his battles by
procrastination-by not fighting
them. It may be that the Wash
iDg board of strategy will capture
Cuba ia the same way.
It is mentioned that Gen. M.. C.
Butler, recently appointed Major
General by the President and con
firmed by the senato without even
reference, will be sent to Porto
Rico, which is by odds the best
place on the new war map.
The Georgia papers speak of
their leading candidate for Gov
ernor as "our cussified colonel."
Bob Watson is the only colonel
South Carolina has in the guber
natorial race and he is anything
else but "cussified."
The. South Carolina quota oi
troops under the first call of the
President is full except one com
pany. Gov. Ellerbe has made an
official call for that one company
to consist of eighty men. The first
company offering will be accepted.
A regiment of negroes will be
enlisted from this State. Col.
Hoggins will be made its colonel.
He favors feeding soldiers on hog
meat entirely, especially colored
troops. He says niggers will fight
better on hog meat than any other
kind.
The Hon. William L. Trenholm,
comptroller of the currency dur
ing Cleveland's first administra
tion, says, speaking of the Cuban
war : "The longer it lasts and the
more numerous its incidents, the
better for country's various corn-,
merciai ana individual .nterests?'
The Philippines are the richest
and most beautiful islands in the
world, and it is said that they are
to be divided out among the sol
diers after the war is over. Inas
much as there are more than 1,200
of them this would give South
Carolina soldiers, if given to them
alone, nearly one whole island
each.
The President now proposes to
send 125,000 soldiers to Cuba,
60,OOC to the Philippines, 30,000
to Porto Rico, and 100,000 will be
left in the United States for coast
defence and emergencies. To do
this-all these things-he will
have to make another call for
troops in addition to those asked
for in the proclamation which we
publish this week. It will prob
ably require 50,000 more men to
fill the bill. Aren't we getting to
be a first class nation m a hurry !
THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
Henry Clew? & Co., the eminent
bankers of New York, in their
weekly financial letter of May 2?th
say:
The present position of finance
in this country is a most ex
traordinary one. In the midst of
war, the condition of the foreign
exchanges is such as to place the
money centres of Europe virtually
at our merch. We are permitting
balances due to this country, to
the amount of probably close upon
$100,000,000, to remain on tem
porary loan, and yet are buying
extraordinary largo amounts of our
secuities held in England, Ger
many and Holland. Within a
year, we have drawn from Europe
fully $100,000,000 of gold and are
in a position to draw about an
equal amount more, if our con
venience should so require. Our
stock of the yellow metal has
reached the highest total in our
experience and for the first time
exceeds the holdings of any other
nation.
* * * * * * *
The New York banks now hold
in gold $165,000,000-the largebt
amount ever held by them ; and
to show chat these large gold
holdings by the bankks are not at
the expense of the United States
Treasury, it -mast be stated the
Government now has on hand
$173,235,502, which is also corres
pondingly large.

Washington, May 30-At 12:30
o'clock this (Monday) morning
the navy department received a
dispatch from Commodore Schley
announcing definite.y that he had
located Admiral Cervera's Cape
Verde squadron in the bay of
Santiago de Cuba. The commodore
states that he has seen and
recognized the vessels of the Span
ish fleet.
While the naval officials have
been morally certain for several
days that Cervera's squadron was
in the harbor of Santiago, the
official announcement from Com
modore Schley was received by
the officers on duty at the depart
ment with intense enthusiasm.
Assurance is now doubly sure
that the Spanish fleet is bottled up
and that the coik is in the bottle.
It is not believed that Admiral
Cervera will attempt to escapo
from the predicament in which he
finds himself, as such a course
would surely result in the destruc
tion of his vessels and the loss of
many lives precious to Spain.
The suggestion is made, however,
that the Spaniard may blow up his
ships, rather than have them fall
into the hands of Schley, as they
remain in the barber.
-rae ueuiraeness or^ommoaoro
Schley's dispatch would indicate
that he has effected a landing
near Santiago and made a personal
investigation of the harbor.

New York, May 29-A special I
to the Tribune from Washington
says:
Orders have at last gone forward
to Major-General Shaf ter at Tampa
to embark the greater portion of
his corps, including all tho regu
lars and a few of the most efficient
volunteer regiments on board the
transports gathered at that place,
and the aggressive military move
ment which has been so frequently
predicted and as often delayed for
one cause or another, will be an ac
complished fact before the end of
this week.
The strongest units of Admiral
Sampson's reorganized squadron
will convey the expedition and
cover its landing at a point now
definitely designated.
Simultaneously, tho most rigid
censorship of press dispatches that
has so far been undertaken by the
government, will be put into ope
ration at Tampa and Key West to
night, and no message relating toJ
A Letter to Jane.
The following letter from one
of the new recruits was found near
Fort McPherson :
"Dear Jane: Jane, I'm in

It would be impossible from tbe
entrauce of the bay definitely to
see and recognize the Spanish
vessels, but, by effecting a landing
at some point on either side of
the entrance, vantage point could
be gained from which the entire
harbor could be examined. In all
probability Commodore Schley or
one of his trusted officers has
successfully performed this
hazardous undertaking in order to
obtain the valuable information
j contained iu his dispatch.
It is impossible, owing to the
latenesb of the hour, to obtain an
official expression upon the news
from Commodore Schley, What
effect the certainty that Cervera ,
is practically helpless will have
upon the plans of the administra- ,
tion with reference to the iuvasiou
of Cuba can only be conjectured.
The transportation of land forces
io the island was delayed because i
of the uncertainty concerning the
location of the Spanish squadron.
If that understanding is correct, i
the probability of an early invas
of Cuba is etrong. It is not
unlikely that the movement of 1

from time to tip^Ajyil^^ijo_tfc|g; :

a substantial foothold upon Cuban

the moves of troops or ships, or in
any way speculating upon the ex
pedition will be permitted on the
wires. If this means of prevent
ing publication of information
which would be exceedingly val
uable to Spain is not folly success
ful, the censorship will be promptly
extended to the mails.
. It can bo confidently asserted
that, beyond tho secretary of war
and the secretary ot the navy, the
President will permit no civilian
to enjoy his confidence in this mat
ter, until a-lauding on foreign ter
ritory shall have been actually ac
complished, and General Shafter
himself will have sealed orders,
whose contents will be known only
to General Miles and General Cor
bin, until the expedition is safely
at sea.
Admiral Sampson's sole instruc
tions will be to guard the expedi
tion aud to co-operate with General
Shafter, under the latter's direc
tions.
Favorable Outlook.
Not since 1891 have conditions
been so favorable for good trade as
they are now. Tho most gratify
ing conditions exist in nearly
every section of the South. The
wholesale dealers are doing a fine
business in Augusta. HQC. the
retail merchants are in good
condition to haudlo an increased
business. Those who, by economy
and care, have conducted their
business so as to pa.?s successfully
th rough t the era of depression just
closed, will now reap the loug
deferrcd benefits of returning
prosperity.- Augusta Merchant

paign refuse positively to answer.
They have no desire that the
Spanish authorities should have
opportunity afforded them to
gather their forces to attack our
soldiers as they land. Therefore,
nothing of the details of this first
movement can be learned. Then*
is a suspicion that the start will
be made from Tampa and Mobile,
and it is probable that in such
case tho fleets of transports will
converge at Key West, to pass
under the convoys of warn ipa
which Admiral Sampson bas
provided to insure them against
attack at the hands of some stray
Spanish cruiser or gunboat.
It is probable that there will be
no less than four separate military
expeditions, aud that these will be
landed at four different points.
Whether Porto Rico is one of these
points or not cannot be learned.
Before the entire force which it is
proposed to use in Cuba can be
landed the transports must make
four separate voyages across the
Straits.

TWENTY-YEAR RENEWABLE TERM POLICY-A SPECIAL
POLICY FOR BUSINESS MEN.
Twenty years is a long time. This is true in life insurance, as
well as in other business transactions. Nearly all life insurance poli
cies are contracts for a period of twenty year6. They are made so by
insurance companies to supply the the needs of the insuring public.
When a man takes a whole-life, twenty payment life or twenty-year
bond, he cousiders its cost to bira during twenty years, and the settle
mont which be can make at the end of twenty vears. Experience and
statistics prove that only a small percentage of policies are continued
longer than the twenty-year peri id.
Men take on largo lines of insurance from age 30 to 40. The en
suing twenty years cover the period when their families are growing
up and being.educated ; it also covers the period of their greatest busi
ness activity. It covers the time when their families and business in
terests require the greatest amount of protection.
A man's requirements are not the same at 60 years that they are
at40years. His family has grown up, his business conditions have
changed, or the necessity for insurance has disappeared.
In view of these facts, The Provident Savings issues a policy at a
fixed rate for twenty years, which includes only the cost of protection
for that time. The premiums on this policy are less than one-half the
premiums charged for a twenty-payment life. If a man wants insur
ance forproteeiion only, this policy will supply his wants admirably.
He is not obliged to make a deposit with an insurance company for a
future which he may never reach; especially when he has need for
this deposit, and more, too, in his business.
To illustrate this Policy, we will give the figures. A man at 30
takes one of these Policies for $1,000 at the regular term rates of $14.91
per annum for twenty years. This policy can be continued, after
twenty years, without medical re-examination, at rates for tho age
then attained.
