The Confederate Veterans could have no more opportune time for a reunion at Charleston than now. Excitement luns Ligb over present f disturbances. Charleston as a scene of activities in the past and as a probable place of action i?> the future is a city of intense interest. The veterans will doubtless enj >y their trip around the harbor, and the seeiDg of the various improvements on the batteries about the city. Lieutenant de Carranza, a- Span iard, feeling that the honor of Spain's naval officers has been attacked, has challenged Captain Sigsbee, and Consul General Lee for duels. iNo man questions the bravery of the Americans, but their lives are too valuable to be risked in felling the carcass of an obscure Don. Secretary of State John Sherman, resigned Monday; Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Roosevelt also resigned to accept a Brigadier Generalship of volunteers and Secretaries Alger and Long are reported as intending to send in their resignations at an early date. Col. Coward, of the Citadel Academy at Charleston, has tendered the services of 60 cadets to Governor Eilerbe, which have been accepted,conditioned upou their services being needed. Of the daily papers of the State the News and Courier, and the j Greenville News are bitterly opposed to the war with Spain, while the Columbia Register and the State are enthusiastic in advocating it A bill declaring that war exists and has existed between the United Sfates of America and the Kingdom of Spam since tbe 21st day of April was passed in both Houses of Congress, Monday. Lieutenant Johnson Hagood, of the United States army Las had a consultation with Governor Ellerbe with the view of raising a regiment of artillery for the defence of Charleston. Spain moved quick bj refusing to receive President McKinley's ulta matum from Minister Woodford and instead, handed him bis passport papers, which is a declaration o-' war. Governor Ellerbe has recommended Major Ernest A. Garlingtor, of this State, to President McKinley for appointment of Brigadier General of the South Carolina volunteers. Governor Ellerbe has not yet ap pointed any of the officers he is allowed to do under the law of Congress. He will consult with the militia officers and then act. Lieutenant Marcus B. Stokes, U. S. A., has been detailed by the war depaitment to muster in the South Carolina volunteers at Charleston. United States Senator Walthall, died at nis uome in has been a member of the Senate since 1885, continuously. Postmaster Gen. Gary, hasresigned and Charles Emory Smith has been appointed Postmaster General to succeed him. The United States is peacefully blockading its own ports, vessels now being allowed to enter in day time only. Press dispatches say that the German press condemns the United States and praises Spain. Blanco Will D.-fona Havana. Havana, via London, April 26.? Captain General Blanco has cabled the government at Madrid to the effect that the Spanish squadron of warships may be utilized elsewhere, as he can account for the defense of Havana without the assistance of the fleet. There is more Catarrh in this sec " ' 'l -il ,iU tion ot tne country iuau mi uiun diseases put together, and until tbelast few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, aud prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Hail's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the maiket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and rnuou* suifaces cf the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo, 0. Sold by Druggists, 75c. I THE MOVES AT THE CAPITAL AND NEWS FRCM THE SEAT OF WAR. President M< Kidey bas called fov j 125,000 volunteers, to invade Cuba. J Uncle Sim has notified the world j that he has blockaded the ports cf j Cuba. Several Spanish merchantmen have been captund by the American squadron oft* the coast of Florida. Spain, replying to the ultimatum of President McKinley, says she regards it as a declaration of war and will act accordingly. Five warships belonging to the | Uni ed States squadron are reported j to have left Hong Kong, China, Sun- : day for parts unknown. It is announced that the rrgaler ! Uuited States Army will invade Cuba j and it will probably be placed under j the command of Gen J. R. Brooks. James Wigg, the colored ex-R?presertative in our State Legislature from Beaufort, has offered his services to Governor Ellerbe to serve in the war with Spain and will raise a colored regiment from that county. It is generally believed that in con sonance with its policy, the Spanish fleet, unless compelled to fight, will avoid engagements, and the fastest ships will be employed t) destroy the commerce of the United States. T.ionfnnnnt. Rowan is on his way te w tbecampof General Calixto Garcia. He will represent the war department in arranging for the co-operation of the insurgents in the invasion of Eastern Cuba by the forces of the United States. The time and place of invasion will be controlled by events and the character of Lieut. Rowan's dispatches. On Board the Flagship New York, off Habana, April 23, 2 a. m.?Morro Castle opened fire on the fighting squadron of the United States at 11 o'clock last night. About 10 shots were sent in the direction of our ships, but none of them took effect, and no shots were fired in return. The Spaniards had appearantlv seen the lights of the New York while the latter was signalling to a ship of the squadron. The firing was reported by the officers of the deck, Ensign J. R. Edie, to Captain Cbadwick, who was ; asleep at the time. The young | officer asked the captain in some! what excited tones whether the New | York bad not better discontiuue ' signalling. - - ? - ~ 1_ "No,'" muttered Captain cnauwicK j with the utmost cooluess, "there is j no necessity for stopping the siguale. ! Go ahead.'' i L iter Captain Chadwick was on the forward bridge, from whence he watched the tongues of flame shoot out from the Morro Castle. He glanced in the directiou of the Spanish fortifications for a few seconds and then turned his back on them in silent contempt, and went back to his bed, perfectly certain the Spaniards could do no damage at five miles, which was then the approximate distance of the flagship j from Morro Castle. There was do excitement on board the flagship during the Morro Castle's futile attempt at gUDnery. The discipline was really splendid. In fact, at this hour, inaDy people on board the flagship do not know that Spain's first gun of war has been fired and that the New York was their target. London, April 24 ?It is announced in a special dispatch from Madrid that Spain may formally declare war against the United States as a result | of the capture of the Spanish steam er tfuena \ entura. Vienna, April 24.?The Deutsche j Zeitung, the Pan-Germanic crgan, j cantrary to most papers, supports the United States, on the grounds that, "after Berlin and Vienna, New York ranks as the largest German town in the world," and also because the "United States represent liberty as opposed to absolutism."

He not only exhausts himself physically, but mentally; ] not only inuscularly, but nervously. The consequence is that while he is J better fed and better housed, lie is not, as a rule, as healthy a man as his brother workinR man of European countries. More- < over, like all Americans, the American working' - man is prone to disregard his health and frequently even takes pride in abusing it. It rests with American wives to I protect their husbands in this respect. A . little watchfulness on the part of the wife will frequently save her husband from a ( long spell of ill-health and possibly from some fatal illness. When a man feels " out of sorts *' it is because his digestion is dis- " ordered or his liver is torpid. I)r. Pierce's ' Golden Medical Discovery will promptly j correct these disorders. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It restores the appetite, makes digestion perfect and j the liver active. It purifies the blood and 1 tones the nerves. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asth- 1 ma. weak limps, lingering cough, spitting < of blood and disease of the throat and nasal cavities. Thousands have told the story of 1 its wonderful merits in letters to Dr. Pierce. It may be had at any medicine dealer's. "Your 'Golden Medical Discovery' cured me of a severe case of poisoning of the blood," writes Mrs. Sella Ricca. of Coast, Santa Cruz Co.. Cal. "That was two years ago. and I have not had a lwil or sore yf any kind since." It is as easy to be well as ill?and much h more comfortable. Constipation is the * cause of many forms of illness. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pelicts cure constipation. They are tiny, ' sugar-coated granules. One little "Pellet " is a gentle laxative, two a mild cathartic. Dealers in medicines sell them. London, April 25.?The Berlin correspondent of The Standard says: ' Germany will take no steps prejudical to the United States, nor pro bably, j )iu iu any intervention on Spain's behalf. It is evident, therefore, that the meeting yesterday (Saturday) at Dresden, between Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph I signally failed to bring Germany I into line with Austria." I Kinston, Ja , April 26 -First Lieut J Andrew Itowan, of the Nineteenth I infantry, under orders from the war department, was landed on the Cuban coast somewhere west of Santiago, probably before dawD, on Monday. His Cuban guides and an open sailboat were used. The guides have not returned.

In most cases they were in answer to the identical note sent out yesterday by the State Department to all United States embassies aud legations, instructing them to iuform the governments to which they were accredited that war has exist* d since April 21st. Key West, April 2G,?11:15 a m | The big Spanish steamship Panama, ; of the Cebcltos Line, which left New York on April 20 for Havanna, with a number of Spanish refugees on beard and a very valuable cargo, i' is understood, stores for the Spanish army, was captured last evening about twenty miles from Havana b\ the little lighthouse tender Mangrove, now belonging to the Mosquito Fleet. The Mangrove mounts two G-pounders and four 3S revolvers She is in command of Lieut W. H. { Everett, and has a crew of thirteen j men. The Panama is of 2,800 tons and a very valuable prize, laden witb food supplies and merchandise, consisting of bacon, hams lard, beaDS, peas, corn, bran, flour, hay, milling machine?, etc, aud her destination was Havana, Progreso and Vera Cruz, but she is now at Key West. St. Vincent, Cipe Verde I-lands, April 2fi?G:44 p. in.?The Spanish fleet is still here, and there is no sign of its intention to put to sea today. Ammunition and projectiles are placed ready on deck for each gun, and on board the warships the men appear to be anxious to fight. The squadioa is still busy coaling and j taking stores on board.

April 2(1. On Board the Assoc iifed Pre> s 1 Dispatch Boat Dauntless, Matauzas, [sland of Cuba, via Key West, Fla , ] Apiil 25, 7:42 a. in.?The United States torpedo boat Foote, Lieut. W. L. Rodgers commanding, has the | bonor of having been the target for the first shots fired by the Spauiard < | it the Americau fia? durintr the war just begun. The tiring occurred be- J tweeu 5 and G o'clock on Saturday afternoon, while the toipedo boat was takiug toundings in the baibor j of Matanzas. She was within *200 j or 300 yards of the shore. Suddenly a Spanish masked batterry on the east side of the baibor and not very far distant from the Foote, fired three shots at the torpedo boat j They all went wide of the mark and ! the Foote returned leisurely to the Cincinnati, where she reported the result of her soundings and then announced that she had been fired upon. The Cincinnati was anxious to steam in instantly and reduce the Spanish bitteries, but she was not permitted to do so. No captures are reported by tl e fleet off Matanzas. It. is alleged that two Spanish gunboats were seen in shore, but the report could not le Terrified. Between 0 and 10 o'clock last night the Dauntless was steaming quietly towards Matanzas, whose lights were reflected on the sky a few miles southeastward. A large fire on shore was excitjng comment on board the dispatch boat, and wonder was rife as to where the United States blockading fleet was to be found, suddenly a lookout on boaid the dispatch boat reported: "Torpedo boat astern; coming up fast." A moment or so later, by her lights, two red and one green, and by a rocket which she sent up, the torpedo boat Dupont was made out. The rocket was answered by the glare from the searchlights on board the cruiser Cincinnati, the beams being thrown full ou the Dauut'ess and on the Dupont. The dispatch , boat of the Associated Press had come, unawares, within three miles of the Cuban shore and far inside the prescribed limits. The dauntless made known her idenity and soon a boat from the Cincinnati, in charge of Ensign Mclntyre, pulled toward her. Ttie papers aod log of the Dauntless "? i / _ _ 3 1 were examined ana iouau 10 ue satisfactory. We exchanged news and tbe Cincinnati having ordered tbe Daunt j -1 less to lay to, permission was request ed to return to Key West. Ensign Mclntyre said be would transmit tbe request to tbe C.uciunati. Tbe Cincinnati was also imformed that the Diuntless would cbeei fully take back any mail. In ten minutes a boat arrived with the message; "Capt. Chester's compliments and be will be obliged to you if you will take in this mail. You cm go. Advise that you steam due west six miles when your make youy fir. t course, or you may get into more trouble.'" Tbe iostructiou9 were obeyed liter ally and the Dauntless set off on her return. Before she had gone six miles, we saw a torpedo boat astern, evidently keeping an eye on us. Then we saw the Cincinnati's search light sweep the horizon and soon afterwards we heard four shots in succession. *As they were not followed by any others, we presumed that some other boat had been overhauled. Certainly there wa3 no bombardment of Mitanzas commenced at night. The Dauntless made a good run, the north gale having abated and tbe water being smooth in the straits she arrived off Sand K<=>v licht at 5 o'clock this morninsr. V O u On board the Flagship New York, off Habana, April 25, 10 a. ra ?The early morning hours today were taken up by a vigorous chasing of moving lights. They only vessels spoken was the British schooner Iolanthe, of Windsor, X. S. She was allowed to proceed. She was just out of Matanzas. Xo shots j have been fired since yesterday miming on either side. The torpedo boat Porter made a daring trip iuto the shore under cover of darkness last night, on 1 Lieut. Fremont, her commander, landed with a small paity and ob tained valuable information. Tue blockade coniinues under beautiful weather conditions. When darkness came on last night, Morro Castle showed a powerful searchlight and tlished it nervously ar >und the horizon. Another short search light was also seen. It lc ok'd to be from the direction of Santa Clara batteries, to the westward of El Morro. ? -? T3 CURES WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS. G3T U Best Cough Syrup. Tastes Good. Use L3 In time.
