Spaniards Routed an Prisoners MARCHING < Insurgents are Within Foui cans Lending Assistant chine Guns-Spanis nies and Sho( Washington, June 6.-The navy department, at 2 o'clock, posted the following bulletin : "Admiral Dowey reports that the insurgents have been actively engaged within the Province of Cavite during the past week. "They have won several victories, taken prisoner about 1,800 men,1 and 50 officers, of the Spanish troops not natives. "The arsenal at Cavite has been prepared for occupation by United States troops on their arrival on transports. "Admiral Sampson is engaged in arranging with Adminal Cervera for the exchange of Naval Con structor Hobson and the men with him now prisoners at Santiago for some of the officers and men held prisoners by the United States at Fort McPherson. Manila, May 31, via Hong, Kong, June 6.-The Spanish out posts have been driven in all along the line, simultaneously and with great slaughter. It is said th&i 1,000 have been killed. There ha?1 been fierce hand-to-hand fighting for 70 hours, despite the typhoon which is raging. The violent winds and torrent? of rain render the rifle s of the Spanish troops unavailable. The natives easily win at every step with their slashing knives. Today the insurgents hold Mala Bon, Tarlas and Bacoor. They are now attacking Santa Mesa and Molate, the suburbs of the THIS STATE Di WARSs. j Some Facts as to the Men South Carolina Has Furnished to Fight. ~~~~~~~~ i Summerville, May 26.-Now that war is upon us a few fae ts concerning South Carolina's place in previous wars may be worthy of notice and may also act as a spur upon the patriotism of any who may be lacking in that esti mable quality. In 1812 the six New England States furnished, to be exact, 5,162 men, and the little and much abused State of South Carolina, furnished 5,696, or over 500 more than all of New England. In that WBr the .entire north furnished 58,552 and the entire south, with a smaller population, furnished 96,812, or not very far from double the number-fully double con sidering the population. In the Mexican war Massa chusetts furnished 1.047 men and all the other New England States furnished 1,532. Plucky little South Carolina furnished 5,262, or more than double as many men as all of NewEngland.while the entire north furnished 23,054 men and the entire south furnished 43,630 men. The facts and figures are taken from the archives at Washington, "Thorns in the Flesh," page 209. History must not be permitted to record the failure of South Carolina to furnish the quota called for in the present emergncy. May the God of battles shield our gallant braves, whether afloat or ashore, is the prayer rising from many a heart.-The State. In our advertising columns will be found an announcement of Ex Senator John J. Ingalls' forthcom ing book, entitled "America's War For Humanity." Canvassing agents will find in it a book of rarnarkable interest, and certainly of extraordinary , salability. The history of the war is told in picture and story, and in a way that always characterizes the brilliant pen of Senator Ingalls. In narrating the incidents of this war he finds grand scope for his suporb descriptive and analytical powers. The theme is worthy of the author, and the authoi is worty of the theme. It is published by N. D. Thompson Publishing Co., of St. Louis, Mo. It will be a monumental work that will not only be every where read, bus it will be a monumonnt to his genius that will outlive in history his brilliant senatorial career. The subscrip tion book trade and the canvassing agent are fortunate in the fact tLat an author of such rare ability has been enlisted in its interest. d Eighteen Hundred Captured. ON.

A native regiment, under Col onel Aguinaldo, cousin of the insurgent leader, yesterday joined the insurgents. The governor has issued a despairing proclamation begging the insurgents to come to terms tomorrow, and he is arrang ing to remove all the Spanish population inside the old walled city. He is filling the moats, test ing the draw bridger and placing strong guards in the principal streets and artillery along the walls. All the other troops are camping in the suburbs. The weather is terrific. I visited Cavit? without the Spaniards knowing it, and found there 117 wounded and 56 prisoners, among the latter six Spanish officials. All were well treated. Chief Augiualdo, in the course of an interview, has said that the insurgents are eager to rush upon Manila forthwith, but that Admiral Dewey refuses to allow "hordes of passionate semi-savages to storm a j civilized metropolis." '? Admiral Dewey intends to await j the arrival of the American troops. In the meantime the insurgents have been forbidden to cross the Malote river, seven miles south of Manila; otherwise the Petrel will be stationed there to bombard them. The volunteers smelt powder yesterday, An ci??cer was killed and three others were wounded. The rest retired rapidly. One German resident his enlisted with the volunteers.

(Signed) REWARDS AWAITING ? HOBSON AND COMPANIONS Sinking of Merrimac in Santiago Har bor an Exhibition of Cool Daring Unsurpassed. ARRANGEMENTS BEING MADE FOR THEIR RELEASE "Will Not Languish Long in Pris on-Part of Fleet to be With drawn from Santiago-Officials Eager to Occupy Porto Rico Before Powers Take Action. Washington, June 4.-From early morning, when the first news paper appeared on the street con taining the brief statement of the sinking of the Merrimac in San tiago harbor, the officials of the navy department awaited with in tense interest official confirmation and explanation from Admiral Sampson. In the afternoon the story came, lacking in detail, it is true, but giving, in rough outlines, a sketch of American heroism thai will live through generations to come. There is no doubt that the name Hobson is destined to be bracketed with that of Cushingamoug Amer ica's naval heroes, and indeed, it was the opinion of the majority of officers who scanned the Associated Press' account of the sinking of the Merrimac that the exploit surpass ed in brillianc}7 and, as an exhibi tion of cool daring, even Cushing's famous attack upon the Alber marle. Reward sure and adequate is awaiting these American heroes, and Acting Secretary Allen has so pledged himself after consultation with Secretary Long, who is still confined to his room by a lame leg. Medals and promotion are the least they can expect at the hands of a grateful people. . Moreover, they will not languish long in a Spanish prison, if the authorties bere can bring about their release, for half an hour after Sampson's bulletin was diplayed on the wall of the navy department Colonel Carter, assistant adjutant general, had taken the preliminary steps to arrange for an exchange of prisoners, and was learning just how many Spanish officers and en listed men were still held in captivity at Fort McPherson, where they had been taken from the prizes captured by the i American naval vessels. In addi tion to these, tho navy has just turned over io the military authorities at Fort Monroe, for safe keeping, another Spanish officer, suppossed to be of high rank, but who hen so far managed to conceal his identity. Tho officials are confident that they have more than enough Spanish officers to offer as ransom for the one American officer and seven enlisted men held by Corveru. The officere, one and all, took note of the generous recogitiou by the Spanish admiral of the bravery of the Americans, and his kindly treatment of the prisoners, and it can b9 guaranteed that the admiral's lines will fall in pleasant places as any captive has a right ! )BSON NOBLE DARING. Under Heavy Fire From iniards. IDLED ?TE PROJECTILES. Hail of Iron Coolly Swung^ Ship Vhcn the Lieutenant Exploded ding Her to the Bottom. -Rear Admiral Sampson, dur so the narrow harbor entrance g the collier Merrimac, loaded called for volunteers to go to )00 men offered themselves. 3 were chosen, and at 3 o'clock under her own steam, nntered Spanish fire. The vessel was e anchored and swung around, t an internal torpedo with an 3 an explosion, the Merrimac md, apnarantly. Admiral Cer ! navy department bas posted o'clock received the following :ceeded in sinking Merrimac in ,. m. June 3. This was carried mimand of Naval Constructor flag of truce from the Spanish ;nition-of their bravery. ' I am ?ar, two slightly wounded. Re xchange, if possible, between Atlanta. Six of the Spanish nitiogo unable to avoid being "SAMPSON." to expect siiould he be overcome in the end and forced to surrender to Sampson. The naval situatiun is believed to be entirely satisfactory. Notwithstanding the Spanish reports of the ^clearing away of the Merrimac, it is not believed for an instant that Samp son will submit to losing this so dearly purchased advantage, and he can be relied upon to prevent the removal of obstruction. With the Spanish fleet caged inside the harbor, there to remain until they are starved out or surrender, Samp son will be free to detach most of his ships for service elsewhere. This means, according to common belief, an immediate attack upon San Juan. Peace signs have been multiply ing. There has been a notable change in the tone of tho Spanish presB, and, although up to this moment,ao advances have been made to the state department by ;.ny of the European powers, there is an indefinable suggestion in the air that any moment may bring forth overtures of this kind. For this reason the campaign against Porto Rico will be hur ried, in order to ensure its possess ion by tho United StateB before peace is attained. Cf the Cadiz fleet no fear is entertained. Notwithstanding the many published reports, probably all ascribable to Spanish ingenuity, t? the effect that this fleet has already started for either the West Indies or the Philippines, it can be stated that the government has information, which it regards as reliable, that Spanish fleet had not left Cadiz up to yesterday. Meanwhile, army preparations go forward without the sligr'jst sign of cessation. To-day bids were opened for supplying 1,500,000 cartridges, two more transports were purchas ed and arrangements were made to use four of the large Spanish steamers captured as prizes for the transportation of troops to Cuba and Porto Rico. Naval Constructor Hobson, whose name is on every lip in Was hington tonight, is weil known at the navy department, as he served in the bureau of construction for several years, His associates regarded him as combining great ability as a student with th e ec centricity often accompanying genius. It was remarked by one of the chief officials of the department tonight that Hobson was a man who] held naval reg ulations concerning matters of form in contempt, and was obliv ious to official rules. These dare devil characteristics were offset, however, by his recognized ability in all branches of the naval science, particularly naval archi tecture. Although the youngest man in his class at the naval academy, he graduated at the head of the class, a signal honor, which led to bis being sent by the govern ment f >r a course in the'naval schoolB of Europe. Here he gained ; new honors. On returning to tbis i country he served with the de. ' partment and also saw sea service, and about a year ago bpcame ? nstructor iu naval architecture at he Naval academy at Annapolis. When the war broke out he asked Por active survice and, at the same time, insisted on taking the three aaval cadets of his class with him, in order that they might gain the idvantage of practical experience m shipboard during the war. AB i result, he and hiB three cadets ?rere assigned for service on Admiral Sampson's flagship. It eras the prevailing expression at the department tonight that Hob son was just the character to take the lead in such a hazardous feat astbat.of sinking the Merrimac. It it presumed that Admiral Sampson chose him from among many volunteers, owing to there fact that his expert knowledge of naval construction would permit him to sink the Merrimac in such position as to prove moBt effective in blockading the channel.

LEVY'S SON & CO., TAlLORflT CLOTHIERS, /[UGUSJA, GA Organized 1875? Prim saving Assonance Society, Of QBU Val. EDWARD W. SeOTT. PRESIDENT. Issues all Forms of Policies at Lowest Possible Rates Consistent with Safety. ND without making special medtion of each of its many popu lar plans of insurance, we desire to invite the careful examina tion of all concerned in Life Insurance to THE PROVIDEN I 'S 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 years. They are made so by iusurance 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 him during twenty years, and the settle ment which he can make at end of twenty years. Experience and statistics prove that only a small percentage of policies are continued longer than the twenty-year period. Men take on large 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 aud business in terests require .tho greatest amount of protection. A man's requirements are not the same at 60 years that they are at 40 years. 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 ?ied 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 wai.ts insur ance for protection vnly% 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 rateB of $14.91 per annwm for twenty years. This- policy can be continued, after twenty years, without medical re-examination, at rates for the age then attained. B. R. DURISOE, SPECIAL AGENT Jail. 24, '98._ESP&EFIISIyD. g. O.
