The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Julv 19, 1894. G. M. HAEMAN. Editor ard Pubhsber LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. MAY 18. 1898 EONT BE BISCOUBAGED. The large per cent of the volunteers who have been r* jected on their examination is the subject of general remark. Indeed this subject i3 receiving almost as much considertion hereabouts as the war itself. To some it seems that the medical examination is conducted with unusual severity and is hedged about by entirely too mush red .tape. Others contend that the medical examiners cannot be too strict and exacting in seeing that the candidate for examination meets all the ie quirements of the regulations fully and that his physical condition is as perfect as the laws of good health demands This precaution, t is argued, is necessary to prevent the government from having an army of imbeciles on hand as perpetual pensioners. StiJl others contend that the manner in which the examination is conducted is a studied effort to insult 11 - ?tho SkIp me young mauuuuu ui mv, We hardly believe this latter cause assigned as a reason for so maoy of our youDg men being rejected and are disposed to lcok to some other reasoD, which is no less than the present regulations were adopted in a time of peace when recruits were not specially needed and consequently the men were selected more for their fine physical appearance on dress parade rather than for courage and endurance in time of war. Many of these rejected young men are sons of the men who made the name of the Confederate soldier glorious in the annals of history for undaunted courage, brilliant gallantry and unparelleled foittude and en durance. They are worthy representatives of brave sires who on more than one occasion not only carried their fifty pounds of baggage but made their enemies exceedingly glad to relieve themselves of their encumberances to flee from the striplings and beardless boys whose chests did not quite expand two inches aDd and whose weight fell 110 of an inch of the heiglh according to the standards. No doubt these rejected i--j AT i ones, nau tuey ueeu givcu iuc tunity, would have proven to be the flower of the American army. Boys, take heart from this: The stone that was rejected by the builders eventually became the corner stoDe. Hold yourself in readiness, the time will probably come when you will be called upon to defend America's honor and America's glory, then when the victorious ''rebel yell" startles the echoes of the battlefield you will no longer be twitted with deficiency of weight, of heigth and of expansoin of chest nor of impaired eyesight. The State Democratic convention will meet in Columbia today. Ooly routine business, however, is to be transacted, such as re organization for the next two years, arranging for the State primary and such other business as may be brought before it. Not much interest ie taken in politics, the all absorbing war news, monopolizing the attention of the people. Cole L. Blease, Esq , of Newberry, introduced a resolution in his club to instruct the State Democratic Executive Committee to order the managers of election to be held on the 4th Tuesday in August to place at each polling place a box for the reception of ballots expressing the sentiment of the voter, as to whether he favors prohibition, high license or the Dispensary. Dr. S. J. Bivings, who murdered T. J. Trimmier in Spartanburg last March, and whose trial ended on Tuesday of last week, with a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy, was found in his cell last "Wednesday dead, he having opened an artery in his thigh with a case knife and bled to death. The provisions for issuing $15,000,000 in greenbacks and $42,000,000 in silver certificates ia advance of seignorage on the silver bullion owned by the government, are not j likely to be in the war revenue bill when it becomes a law, but should it be nevertheless. This is what we need badly. Two attempts are said to have been 1 made by the Spaniards to poison the j branch from which the soldiers obtain drinking water at C imp Mobile, by; anchoring bags of cotton saturated j with arsenic in the branch. Mrs. Summer Kittelle, a daughter ! of Capt. Sigsbee, of the late warship Maine, will make Greenville her j home until the war is over. The dispsnsary is very much in 1 evidence although it has had numerous obituaries written by its enemies, j THE OREGON. Some anxiety bas been expressed in various quarters concerning the safety of the United States warship Oiegon, which is making Hie journey from San Francisco to Key st I around South America. The SpsnL?h war vessels, it is claimed, have been on the lookout for her at neai ly every port at which it was alleged she would stop on her way from the Pacific ocean, and this gave rise to grave fears for her safety, and as the days passed by these fears weie increased and intensified. The last time she was heard from was at Rio de Janeiro, fiom which place, to the point where the steamship line from the Cape de Verde intns-cts the route is 1,6S0 miles; from the same point of intersection to the Cape de Verde islands, is only 1,200. Therefore, it was perfectly J possible for the Spanish fleet to cut off the Oregon and eDgage her, aDd ; this was rendered easier by The fact that the Spanish ships were far superior iu speed, and would have time to get in the Oregon's path aDd send out small boats to look for her. Bat should* the Spanish fleet tud across her they will find that they have run into a hornets nest. She is accompanied by two other vessels which makes a formidable fleet which the following will show: "In the meantime the Oregon and the Marietta had been joined by the powerful dynamite cruiser Nictheroy, (iow called the Buffalo), which the United States had purchased from Brazil. The Nictberoy is a 10 knot cruiser: her displacement is 4,6GG tons, length 380 feet, beam 48 feet, and she carries a powerful ai moment, as follows: uOne 15 inch dynamite gun (claimed to be the most powerful agent of destruction on any vessel afloat). ' One 4, 7 inch rapid fire gun, two 3 9-inch 1 pounders, and four Howell torpedo tubes. ' The Nictberoy is unique and can not be classified. She add3 an element of power to the destructive agencies of the Oregon the exact force of wLich is hard to calculate. ' The Oregon herself is not matched, naval experts claim, by any battleship outside the British navy. Her awful armament of four huge 13-inch guns, eight 8 inch and four G-inch breechloading rifles, together with 20 C pounders and six 1 pounders, both rapid-firing, make her the embodiment of death riding the waves. Besides she carries no less than six torpedo tubes of the most modern design. A single projectile from one of her 13-inch guns, planted squarely in the body of a Spanish | warship, would settle that ship's fate. The vessel hit would quiver like an oak riven by a thuDderbolt, careen violently fTom the blow for a brief space, and then rapidly settle to the bottom. It is hardly necessary to remaik that the marksmanship of her gunners is of that deadly accuracy for which American gunners are famous the world over. The armor of the Oregon, moreover, is 18 inches thick on the sides, and renders her almost, if not quite, impenetrable by any gun in the Spanish fleet. "So with all this, and the Nictberoy spoutiDg her dynamite like a volcano in action, it is by no means settled that the entire Spanish fleet could get the better of the Oregon, but rather it is to be expected that l ih 1U OUJ t ? tuo tug K^^UUiCU Utvv n VUiU comeoutofthe encounter so much crippled that it would be at Sampi son's mercy. It seems to be the settled policy of that slippery tieet to avoid an encounter for the present? and one must conclude from its action that it desires to get under the guns of Morro castle and Santa Clara before hazarding an engagement." $100 Eeward $100.

Brigadier General Rodgers will have command of coast defences. Sixty thousand volunteers have been mustered in the United States army. Schley's flying squadron reported at Charleston one day last week for orders. The President, it is said, will soon issue a call for 75,000 additional volunteers. Millionaire Terry Belmont, proposes to offer a warship to the government as a gift. All information of war movements | t) newspapers has been cut off by ! the war department. Hon. Wm. J. Bryan his beea given a commission to organize the second legiment from Nebraska. The Senate knocked out the bond feature of tin war revenue bill and substituted an income tax clause. On the Kith Sagasta, the Spanish Premier, asked the powers to declaie the Cuba blockade ineffectual and unrecognized. The rioting at Manila is daily grow- | ing worse. Unless the Americans | start soon it is said British troops j will go there. A member of the British Cabinet j has predicted that war will be declared between England and France ; within a month. On account of the large amount of gold which has accumulated in the j United States treasury, the government has commenced to pay out the | yellow metal. Iq an engagement seven leagues j from Cienfuegos last Monday, Gonu z, j the insurgent chief, defeated sixteen hundred Spaniards. Eighteen States have completed i ! their quoto of volunteers, and 92,oS0 j men have been mustered in the j United States army. ; The impression is growing among the officials at Washington that the j I . # ! Spanish Admiral hopes to evade the fleets of Sampson and Sehlev and j bombard Charleston. George IViwlings, the man who was arrested in Washington last week, charged with being a Spanish spy, has committed suicide. The President wants the war ! pushed vigorously and the use of so j much red tape makes a tired feeliDg j to come over him, consequently he will abolish the board of strategy. The House of Representatives has passed the joint resolution providing for the election of United States Senator by a direct vote of the peo- j nle. i 1 Eleven regiments of infantry, ore : of cav dry and five of light artillery? ! 12,000 meu all told?have reported I to Gen.

Eight trains loaded with vol on t er soldiers and one train of twentyeight cars loaded with supplies j pissed Ashley Junction, near Charles- j ton, on the 15:b, for Tampn Fia. ; They travtled over the Atlantic Coast i Line and were rushed through Dy I the fastest schedule yet made by any j railroad. This government is taking r.o j chances in providing adequate pro- i tection for the rich stores at K*;> West, and extraordinary precautionare being made to provide against a j surpjise from tUe.Spinish licet and to j guard against treachery by the sym j p .tuisers of Spain. Governor Fllerbe Las refu-ed to designate the troops to go to Tampa, i but will leave the selection of the j baitdion to the Federal authorities, j and IF C. Corbiu, Adjutant General, has made the following assignment: One regiment to C.iioamauga and a battalion is to report to the depart ment commander at Camp Mobile. Germany has expressed her disap proval of American occupation of the Phillipioes, and it is furlh.r stated that she will make heavy claims on the government for indemnity byrta-oncf the loss sustained by her subjects during tLe bombardment at Cuvite. She proposes to obtain control of the island herself, guaranteeing the payment of ^Irvotn'o \r>r>v in/Scmr.O T- rFl;o rvtari exceptuble to Fiaucis Joseph of Austria and lo France, who aie also interested. A second fight occurred at Cieufuegos, Cuba, on the 14th inst., be tween the Americans and SpaDiaids The Yankee boats Marbleliead, Nash- I ville and Windom shelled the bushes, doiug considerable damage to the Spanish and completely annihilating the batteries and fortifications of the town. Auoid a terrific hail of shot j and shell the Americans succeeded in cutting the cable, which was their obj<ct in making the second attack One hundred and thirteen dead Spaniards were found in the batte- | ries and three hundred are said to have perished iu the flames of the burning town. The American's loss was three killed and several more or less injured. The London Star of May 14, says a Madrid dispatch via Paris tbrowns interesting light, gathered from an official source, ou Admiral Gerveras' movements since be left the Cape Verde islands. It appears that he headed for S: Pierre, Miquelon, on the coat of Newfoundland, where sealed orders awaited him. Their colliers from Sidney were met and the Spanish fleet coaled. Admiral Gerveras' instructions then were to raid Portland, Boston and Newport and if Rear Admiral Sampson bombarded Havana, to draw him off. The news from Manila seems to ha\e changed the plans. The next proposed move was to decoy Rear Admiral Sampson to Porto Rico and then sail rapidly for Havana and de stroy the few ships left there. Finally, should Admiral Gerveras on reaching Santiago de Caba, learn that two American squadrons were coming to meet him, thus leaving the ; sea free, his plan would be to avoid them, sail straight for Charleston and bombard that city. | ?Mothers! |! nnHE discom- 3 \ A dangers of f\ i | child-birth can k * be almost ta-;^ tirelv avoided.
