The Lex i ngton Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. (i. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. i? == LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. MARCH 15. 1899. TILLMAN'S TEIUMPH. Senator Tillman and Congressmen Latimer, Norton and Wilson of this State, and several Congressmen from the East and North West, have been wined and dined by the cities of Greenville, Columbia and Charleston. These occasions appears to have been genuine love feasts in which the hatchet was buried and the pipe of peace passed around Conservatives met Reformers with outstretched hands and Reformers embraced Conservatives with the hug of reconciliation. The fatted calf was killed and amid "the flow of reason and the soul of wit" the hours swiftly passed as merrily as a marriage bell. The wheels of time turns and brings to view many startling and unex pected changes. Wno among us a few years ago would have imag'ned that in so short a time that Green ville, and Columbia, and Charleston would entertain Ben Tillman at a banquet, not that he bad not fully merited such distinguished attention from the people whom he has so ably and faithfully served, but because of their open and bitter hostility and unreasonable opposition to him and his administration in times past? Senator Tillman seems to have been fully alive to the unique position he occupied and appreciated the new experiences which he was called upon to undergo, for while appreciating to a marked degree the apparent change of sentiment of those cities toward himself, he was frank enough to let it be unmistakably known that he placed no political significance whatever upon his kindly reception; that what be had done for Columbia and Charleston came in the line of his duty as a Senator from South Carolina inasmuch "as Cjlumbia and Charleston were in South Carolina and not South Carolina in Columbia or Charleston/' He was as equally - clear in letting in be known that in working for the interest of our cities he was not pampering to public sentiment in order to make votes for himself. With him it was purely a matter of duty and he worked for and secured the appropriations solely on this ground. In entertaining Senator Tillman and his party we are confident that Greenville, Columbia and Charleston opened their hearts and hospitality from higher motives' than from a political standpoint. They appreciate the effective services of Senator Till man and the Keform Congressmen and took this means to show that appreciation in a substantial and pleasant manner. They are beginning to recognize the influence of the Senator in Congress and better understand his anxiety and perfect willing- | ness to lend that influence in securing the passage of such legislation as will be beneficial to the agricultural, mechanical and commercial interests of the State. The mist of politic prejudice and passions have been rolled from their eyes and they can now see clearly by the light of reason that there is some good in the Reform Movement; yea, even in Ben Tillman, the agitator, its distinguished leader. Senator Tillman has promised to help these places in the future whenever the occasion may arise and he can consistently do so. la this be did the correct and proper thing and one that is calculated to make 'him many warm personal friends and add to his popularity as a profound and skillful statesman. Look at it from any standpoint we may the hospitality of the cities shown to Senator Tillman and his party wa3 a happy incident and one that will have its influence in brushing away the barriers which have separated our people since 1890. Let us accept it as omen of good for our State. Senator Jones, the Chairman of the National Democratic Party, is dangerously ill at his home in Arkansas. Senator Jones is a good, solid man, of unimpeachable character, and as rule of excellent judgment. We cheei fully give him credit for these virtues with endorsing his manage- I msnt of the last Democratic campaign or acknowledging his ability as a leader. Cipt. SaropsoD, kaviDg never seen many battles with shot and shell, has resumed his war of words in the newspapers, and has the presumption to dictate to the President of these United States bow he must proceed without the promotions which failed of confirmation by the Senate. The brass of seme men are past fiDling out. The Deleware Legislature has ad journed sine die without electing a United States Senator to succeed Senator Gray, whose term expiied on the 4th of March. The election now goes over until 1901, unless an <xtra session of the Legislature is called. ^ t Spain is preparing to appeal to the powers agaiDc-t G.n. Otib' orders foi bidding negotiations for ransom of Spanish prisoners held by the Filipinos. G?n. Otis is right for should the prisoners be ransomed the price paid will be used by the Filipinos to purchase munitions of war to fight the Americans with. "Filipino'' means a person of pure Spanish extraction born in the Philippine Islands. The people of mixed blood are Mestizos, while the Spaniards call the aboriginess "Indians.'' I ? ? * i J j i _ _ _ f The Indians oi .Luzon nate tnose 01 Panay, vrhile both are cordially hated by the Mahometans of Mindano. James Riser, white, who was convicted sometime ago at the Newberry court for stealing from the railroad at Pomaria and sentenced fo the penitentiary for eighteen months has been pardoned by the Governor. Oid age and ill health were the grounds on which the pardon waB asked for. The President is now at Thomasville, Ga., the guest of Senator Mark Hanna, who has a summer residence there. The President will enjoy our Southern climate for sometime, and we trust he will return to the White House more favorably impressed with our climate, customs and habits. Gomez, the Cuban Patriot, who has done so much and suffered so long for Cuba and its people, has been the object of studied insults by what is known as the "assembly," yet the old man still holds his own in the heart and affections of the people. The investigation of Col. Neal's management of the State penitentiary which is now being htld, we are sorry to say, looks dark for that officer. Many crooked transactions have been brought to light. The State constables have lately made several raids of places suspected of being the dens of blind tigers and have searched one private residence at least for contraband stuff in Columbia. Since the shootiDg of Mrs. Stuart there have been four killings and numerous cutting scrapes in Columbia. As the law against killing cannot be enforced it should be repealed. Much of our space is given up this week to communications, an account of Gomez's impeachment, the latest fight with the Filipinos and other interesting reading matter. Friend Doar of the Georgetown Times, says: (and he speaks as one having experience), "that the greatest fight is first for bread, then for butter on the bread/' The United States government has sent a charity fund of S3,000,000 to Cuba to be distributed among the Cuban soldiers. j All of the State constables charged with killing Mrs. Stuart, have given bond for their appearance at court except Cooley. The small pox epidemic has spread into North Carolina and the number of cases are steadily on the increase. Augusta, Charleston, Columbia and Charlotte are to be connected by a distance telephone.

The hacking cough, spitting of blood, weak lungs, and all similar troubles of the organs of breathing, will surely lead to consumption, if they are not already the signs of it. Then there are the other'indications of the approach of consumption, such as night-sweats, emaciation, or wasting away of flesh from bad nutrition, which, if neglected, lead to certain death. Ninety-eight per cent, of all the cases of weak lungs, bleeding lungs, lingering and obstinate coughs, and other bronchial and throat diseases, which have been treated with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. have been cured by it.

Maximo Gomez and removed him from his commmand as general-inchitf of the Cuban army, the first ballot taken resulting in 20 votes being cast in support of the motion to impeach Gen. Gomez against 4 in opposition. The meeting lasted from 2 o'clock until 7. Gen. Gomez's only supporters were Gen. Cespedesand Gen. Nunez. The original motion, which was in troduced by Senor Manuel Sanguilly, provided for the abolition of the grade of general in-chief, but an amendment was offered to this by oenor Aguero, wnicn read: "lo abolish the grade of general-in chief and to remove Gen. Gomez for failure in his military duties and disobedience to the assembly." Senor Aguero declared that Gcmez was insubordinate and should be punished, and Senor Sanguilly insinuated that the general was a traitor to Cuba. Much passion was evident in the speeches, in some of which Gomez was declared to have been delinquent in his duties and disobedient, because he had accepted the proposition of Robert P. Porter, President McKinleys special emissary, without consulting the assembly; because he had taken upon himself the arrangements for the payment and disarm ing of the Cuban troops independent of the assembly, and because he had declared to the assembly that he would observe its rulings insofar as he considered them beneficial to Cuba. The assembly again declared that the $3,000,000 was insufficient, and that it has not yet accepted the proposition. The discussion of this question will soon be taken up, now that Gen. Gomtz has been removed. Senor GoDzalo de Quesada, who accompanied Mr. Porter in Cuba, was attacked by Senors Juan Gualberto Gomez, Sanguilly and Aguero, who declared that he had acted in bad faith and had deceived them. Senor Arguero likened the present conditions contronting tne assembly to those that confronted the French chamber when it was proposed to impeach President MacMahon. Col. Mora and Gen. Nunez declared that the present step was useless and would make the assembly ridiculous in the eyes of the world. Among .the principal speakers were Senors Sanguilly, Andrade, Aguero, Gualberto Gomez, Cespedes, Nunez, Villalon and Listra. Tomorrow Gen. Gomez will be officially notified of the assembly's action. Gomez is believed to be stronger than the assembly in the affection of the Cuban army. MaDy privates are anxious to leave the army and go to work, especially when they are able to obtain money to start them in life anew. The position of the assembly is notably weak, as the military administration supports Gen. Gomez, as do also the planters and property owning element, who are tired of the Cuban army, which subsists half upon charity and half upon contributions levied by means of threats. Gen. Gomez received at Iolinas this evening a telephone message announcing to him the assembly's decission. He answered calmly, "All right, I enjoy the situation.'' He then came to Habana to keep a dinner engagement with his daughter at the house of a friend. Gen. Carrillo of Gen. Gomez's staff, as commander of the Sixth Cuban armv com?, it is reDorted. is w 1 ' i ' dow engaged in writing a document discharging from the assembly those members who represent that corps, declaring that they obtained their posts as army representatives illegally. At the termination of the session of the assembly Senor Lastras stroDgly criticised some of President Andradt's rulings and was sharpiy called to order by President Andrade, who immediately declared the meeting over. A violent discussion ensued between Laslra aDd the president. Senor Santa Marim, formerly president of the Cuban republic, was the second man signing the Sunguilly motion for impeachment and amendment as amended by Senor Aguero. The news of the action of the assembly is all over Habaua, and the cafes around the plaza are filled with exciUd meD discussing the subject. Toe general expression is one of strong censure for the assembly. Toe next meeting of that body will be held on Monday. The surrendered arms of the Cuban troop? will, in accordance with an : agreement between Governor General i t~> i . . in i i i ! jDrocKe ana uren. uromez, l>3 storeu : at Habana and Santiago, in the gen- j eral custody of the United State?, but j under the immediate charge of the ] Cub ns in the employ of the military I government.

X V jnaHMHHBaHaHBBOHBBBB Driv: Fiiipincs Bcf:re Them. Manila, Mai eh 13 4:o'J p. m ? Gen. Wbeaton attacked and captured the ci'y of Paeig, cast of Manila, tLia afternoon. The enemy made a stand for an hour but at the end of that time were forced to retreat. STORY OF THE ATTACK L'ght today Brig. Gen. Lloyd Weaton's divisional brigade, consisting of the Twentieth United States infantry, the Twenty-second infantiy, eight companies of the Washington i?.>liiri4of.ro ctvon ^nrtinonips nf lllfr Oregon volunteers, three trocps of the Fourth United States cavalry and a mounted battery of the Sixth ! artillery, wa9 drawn up on a lidge behind San Fedro Macati, a mile south of the town. The advance was sounded at 6:30 a. m., the cavalry leading the column at a smart trot, across the open to the right, eventually reaching a clump commanding the rear of Guadalupe. Supported by the Oregon volunteers the advauce force opened a heavy fire cn the rebels. The response was feeble and desultory, apparently coming from handrful of men in every covert. While the right column was swinging towards the town of Pasig, the left advanced pouring volleys into the bush. A small body of rebels made a flpfprmirprl stand at GuadaluDe church, but the enemy was unable to | withstand the assault. At 7:30 a. m, a river gunboat started towards Pasig. The rebels were first encountered by this vessel in the jungle near Guadalupe. Steaming slowly, the gunboat poured a terrific fire from her Gitling guns into the brush. For all of an hour the whirring of rapid-fire guns alternated with the booming of the heavier pieces on board. In the meantime Scott's battery ashore was shelling the trenches and driving the enemy back. The artillery then advanced and met with little opposition. In the meantime the infantry had been sent forward in extended order, the Washington regiment resting on the bank of the river, each regiment deploying on reaching its station and furnishing its own supports. The entire column then wheeled toward the river, driving the enemy toward his supports and then advanced on Guadalupe. The artillery moved to a ridge commanding Pasig and Parteros. By this time the enemy was in full flight along a line over a mile long and the firing was discontinued temporarily, in order to give the troops a rest before making an attack on Pasig. The enemy's loss was believed to be severe, but only eight Americans were wounded. At this stage of the engagement it was rainiDg heavily. A SHORT REST. \T:?niln 13 r?. m.? After a short rest Gen. Wheaton began the attack on Pasig. Scott's battery, supported by two companies of the Twentieth regiment, advanced on Guadalupe by the road along the river bank, the remainder cf the Twentieth regiment and the Twenty-second regiment followed with the reserve of the Oregon volunteers. At 11:30 a. m , the column came in contact with the enemy and a gunboat steamed to the filing line and cleared the j ingle on both sides, while the battery took up a position on a bluff at the right. The first shot of the American field pieces, at 1,200 yards range, dislodged a gun of the enemy at Pasig. After the town had been shelled, the Twentieth regiment lined up on the bluff and the Twenty-second took up a position on the left of the place, with the cavalry in the centre, whereupon the enemy retreated to the town. The gunboat then moved into a bend opposite and a hot fire on the rebel position was maintained along the whole American line until 2:20 p. m , when preparations were made for the attack. At 3 p m , our gunboat started in pursuit of the enemy's armed tug, pressing her to the lake. At 3:30 p. m., a iarge body of the enemy was discovered working around our light flank and the Twentieth regiment was moved to a commanding ridge. ? o The rehela were not nimcsite Pateros but the enemy bolted. Thirty of the rebels were killed and 1G were taken prisoners, and the Americans lost six men wounded. The whole American linebivouaced at 5 o'clock. About 700 rebels were reported to be marching noithward a few miles to the southwest. SPANISH GUNBOATS SOLD. The Spanish gunboats El Cano, Samar, Rnagua, Pampanga, Albany, Calamiancz, Ordanote, Bases, Gordoque, Panao, Manileno, Mindoro and Marveles, lying at Z tmboango, Island of Mindanao, have been sold here to Francibco R-?yes for 201,112 Mexican dollar*.
