The British Cruiser "lalbott" baa ar rived at Havana to take all British sab le?te who desire to leave Coba. Sampson's fleet is preparing for active work. Spain is concentrating her forces for battle in Cuban waters. The British Consul at Baracoa asks for protection. A second Spanish fleet is ready to leave Cadize. Indicates a heavy attack on Sampson's fleet. The Spaniards have evacuated Bayaro, I the principal town of Santiago. The war department ridicules the story that Dewey used petroleum bombs to fire Manilla. Madrid is unde. martial law. The Spanish government claims that Dewey cut the cable and has one end on ' his flag ship. Dewey is to be promoted. No official advices has been received from Manilla. The Administration is satisfied with the London ?tories as to the completeness of the victory. The Castine has captured the schooner J Paco. The Cabinet has deoided to in vede Coba immediately with 20,000 soldiers. Tra na jsgrtation has been arranged for that nara- , ber. report from Song Kong says that Dewey has captured Manilla, and, with the insurgents, is organizing a provis ional government.

The war with Spain doesn't promise any casualties in the anny of candi dates. ___ lt ?3 called to mind that the Span ish butcher, Weyler, once said some thing about wanting to march with an army of two hundred thousand Span iards from Florida to Washington. His opportunity is at hand, and we extend him an earnest invitation to try the experiment. We wouldn't do a thing to him ! .- mm m> .*> - The war si tuai ton is growing serious. The first naval battle has been fought and it was a great victory for the Uni ted States. President McKinley has appointed Fitzhugh Lee a Major-Gen eral, and he may bc sent to the Phil lippine Islands, to command the 5,000 troops that will be immediately sent there. It is hoped that the war will be of short duration. It is conceded that we have about ?ixty'days for action before thc un healthy season in Cuba would make operations there inadvisable. In all probability the Spanish forces can be disposed of in that time if the invas ion be made promptly. The insur gents are understood to be marching westward on Havana also, and in all probability the matter will be settled hy the capture of the one place. Cn the whole, everything looks favorable for a short, sharp and decisive cam paign, and that is what everybody de sires. It is stated on the authority of an expert who has recently made a close investigation of the subject, that there are now no less than 200 regu larly organized trusts in the United States. They, have a total capital in stocks and bonds of $3,662,000,000, This capitalization is equal to 56 per cent of thc aggregate capital of all the manufacturers in thc country as shown by thc last census. Still thc forma tion of trusts goes on. Where is it to atop and what is to stop it? The fed eral anti-trust law is sustained now and then by thc Courts and attempts to eva.de it are thwarted, but these are exceptional cases. As a rule, it seems, the trusts organize whenever and wherever they please and do what they please. in his speech at the Veteran's lie ?uion in Charleston last week Ceti. Wade Hampton caused the wildest en thusiasm by thc following reference to the war with Spaiu: "My old com rades, we know what war is. I do not hesitate to say that 1 regret the one upon which wc are now entering. But you are South Carolinians; you are the sons of men who have shed im mortal glory on the Palmetto flag in the past, and I would rather die thau think that South Carolina would not respond to the call made upon her for volunteers. And old as I am, I can still ride on horseback and wield a sword; and if her quota is not filled, if there is one name lacking to mako it fall, I myself will volunteer. This is oar oountry and it is our duty to make it thc champion of freedom for all time te come." All the nations who can raise the necessary money are adding heavily to their naval strength. Our $50,000, 000 seems big, but some other nations are going much deeper into thc busi ness of building and buying warships. It was stated at the opening of the present Parliament that England al ready possessed by far the strongest of all navies, would put $100,000,000 into naval improvements, but this was not deemed sufficient. Hon. George J. Goschen, the first lord of the ad miralty, presented recently an estimate which calls for $127,750,000, enough to build fifty ships as great as the Maine. Russia is not permitting her chief enemy to have a monopoly of naval expenditures, and she oomes up with $72,000,000 for new battleships. Japan, the rising star in the new firm ament of nations, is building more warships than any other nation except England, and will soon hare one of 1 the greatest navies in the world. Ger many and France are both increasing their naval strength, and bankrupt Spain is picking up any sort of old ships wherever she can beg or borrow them. Patriotism and Patience. This light-hearted, airy war emo tion, "War to be over in thirty days," "No more delay," "Victory if there bc action," "On to Havana." recalls the .'On to Riehmond" campaign against Lincoln which culminated in Bull Run. That disgraceful episode in our . history finds a parallel in the trucu lent denunciations of President Mc Kinley by the yellow journals for his supposed apathy as to a vigorous pros ecution of the war. Lincoln was hounded to premature battle and de feat. McKinley is menaced with the same fate. The "On to Richmond" blunder imposed upon Lincoln by. the yellow journalism and yellow demagogy of j 1861 revived a still-born revolution. If Lincoln could have resisted the pernicious influence and held his hand until he was ready the outbreak would have been suppressed in one wise, comprehensive campaign. It was "On to Richmond" then as it is "On to Havana" now, the cry of ignorance and folly. What is war? It ia nob a game of-' solitaire. What is our readiness as an armed people? " Assuredly Aol that of paladins prepared for fight. What is our army? A skeleton organiza tion. What are our volunteers? Thousands of the best and bravest fellows that ever ploughed a wheat field, but wanting discipline and drill. What is our place among the nations? One of a family and bound with fami ly obligations. What have we for re sources? A revenue that as yet must be provided for and collected. Yes terday unarmed, to-day our armaments are crude and undeveloped. Before the war is over the powers of p]urope may be active forces in the campaign. War is not a mere yellow newspaper waltz. We may dare Niagara, not de fy it: Before we underrate a foe study Agincourt, llossbach and Se dan, or, as an impressive theme, the Spanish Armada. Take nothing for granted, not even the decadence of an enemy. The eyes of Europe are but open to the fact that the "Sick Man" of the Bosphorus was, in the Cretan question, strong enough to paralyze European diplomacy. Nor should we revel iu the moonshine of "foreign sympathy." Ves, there is the friend ship of England. Well. Englaud, per haps, if yellow demagogy had not thrown into her teeth that peace with arbitration treaty, which would have united us as with hooks of steel England is not apt to answer a blow with a kiss. There are, of course, other powers yearning, it is hoped, to fight America's battles and make thc cause of humanity their own. France and Italy are, like Spain, Latin nationalities and race sympathy su pervenes. Germany is the ally of Austria, and au Austrian princess is on thc Spanish throne, ilussia is far away and too much concerned in her magnificent Mongolian problem to waste her hardy Cossacks upon thc squalid provinces of equatorial Cuba. Patriotism is patience. Thc Presi dent must not bc hawk-driven upon another Bull Hun. Nor by blunder nor a defeat must we find ourselves face to face with a war of far reaching consequences. War is not a fixed science. Each war evolves its own lessons. Wc must learn them by ex perience. A modem battleship would have destroyed the fleets of Nelson and Villeneuve, while a modern regi ment would have driven Wellington from ike held of Waterloo. To be in readiness is half the battle. The needle pun forced Austria out of the German empire. It was a surprise, but defeat has at times been the pen alty of a surprise. Patience, steadily arming, drill, making ready, so anticipating every contingency that when thc blow falls the discomfiture of the foe will be complete-this is what war means. This will not be attained by forciug upon thc president tho disaster of another Bull Run. We are in thc war to the end. The causes aro beyond debate, livery sacrifice will bc a privilege, lt is a war of humanity, hut at thc same time we must crave thc favor of that Providence who never deserts a peo ple whose arms are ready and whose powder is dry. Wc must sustain thc president. There must be no word of pause or dishcartcument. no more ol this "On to Richmond" frenzy which distressed the soul of Lincoln and would paralyze thc anus of McKinley. Wc can neither whirl into war nm tareen toward victory. Nor can wc expect joanna from heaven nor thc starting of thc waters under the smit ing wand nor the falling of thc Jericho walls. The supreme duty de volves upon us as it did upon our fa thers. As our fathers did. we must gird ourselves to it as men prepared for any effort, and not madly foment ing strife, even as thc swine who rushed devil possessed into the sea. New York I lern il. News from Old Rocky River. The business farmers of this fair view are ?lout through work 'till the cotton cornes up, and then what a time we will have pulling and tuaseling with the well known -'general green." Wheat and oats are looking fine since the rain that has fallen for the last month, and if the rain continues like it bsa for the la*t month the grain sowers will reap a large crop of grain, and so look out for hog and hominy nest year. A few of the young people of this section attended the behool entertainment last Friday night at the school bouse near Iva. They report a p'easant time. House burnings are nothing new to hear of for the past month in this neighbor hood. Sjme think it is some low down scamp scouring the country over setting people's houses on fire. Ir that be true, hell is too good for him, and he should be caught and put in the next one. Toe school at Savannah, which has been taught for the last four months by Mrs. W. G. Moore, closed last Friday, and the young people intended having a big time on 8aturday following, but on account of the rain many were badly disappointed. It was too wet for the bens to lay. Three gents of this community must have some great attraction over the river, as they go very often. Go it, boys, they are fine girls, but if you don't leave there sooner R. 0. will say bed time, boy?. I noticed in one of our near by corres pondent's locals some time recently, say ing parents should go and take their chil dren to this place to Sunday School. Why not the young men and old bache lors go and take interest in the Sunday School H9 well ai the children ? Mr. Orr Jackson and his charming sis ter, Miss Verna, spent la?t Saturday night with Misses Daisy and Dessie Blackman, of this section Mr. J B McAdams, of Alice, made a flying visit to Piedmont last week. 8ay, Bart, I think you are suffering with that terrible disease, maiden fever. Acertain young gent, who lives very near this placa, cannot eat, cannot drink, cannot sleep Hound, and, also, cannot go anywhere, unless it is at a certain place, just about two hundred yards from h's lather's houDe. Say, young man, you will want another cotton patch Borne day. Misses Ida and Stella Hampton, two of our charming yoong ladies, visited Mis? Lula Price, of the Nation, last Saturday night. The Sunda; School at this place is in a dourishing condition at this time, being in charge of our clever friend, Mr. I. 0. Kay. We hope and trust tbat it will not be as il has been for the last year. There are more people that live closer to this Church than any Church I know of, and th?y are gen e/ally the one? that stay at home. There will be a singing at this place next iecopd 8unday. Mr. John Milford, the noted Binger, wiil be here that day. Come one, come ail. and bring well flllnd bas kets, for it will be a day long remembered. Mr. P, B Gsuley and wife, of this seo ' Lion, visited relatives near Anderson last week and also a brother in Greenville. Mr. J. F. Gilliand. who bas been In the artist business for the last five months in Georgia and Alabama, tetUrned to his home near here last week. He reports s ncc eas abd a nice time. This is the prettiest and best community in Anderson County, arjd its citizens are enjoying the very best of health, with the exception of a few, who we hope to soon eee entirely restored. DITTO. Snnday School Institute. Editors Intelligencer : The 24 h annual session of the Saluda Baptist Sunday School Institute met with the First Creek Church on Tuesday and Wednesday. 2Gth 27th ol' April, 1*98 Elder W. B. Haw kins preached the introductory sermon. Tbs Institute then organized by enrolling ?oo delegates. The following brethren were elected to serve the ensuing term of two years: H. S. Shumate, President; Dr. J. A. Robinson, Int Vice President; C. 0. Burriss, 2od, and L. E. Campbell, 3rd, with T. T. Wakefield Secretary and Treasurer. All visiting brethren, whether Baptist or not, were invited to seats on the floor by the President. There had been a very interesting pro gram previously arranged, and it was then taken up. Although all the appointed speakers were not there, we had no lack for speaking. The whole atmosphere seemed to respond to the opportunity of making a speech. Bro. Pl ern m ons, of Ab beville, was with us, who added much to the occasion. Then, of course, Bro, Vass, of the Orphanage, was there. We gave him one hour foi the benefit of the Or pbaoege. After he finished talking about it, we took up a collection of $13.19 as a gift, then a subscription of $44.00 to fur nish the cooking department of the new building- tbat is nearing completion. This collection, however, is not finished, as the Secretary was requested to' communicate with ali the schools that were not repre sented and ask fora collection from all. Not more than half of the schools, were represented. We want ?100, so look out, brethren, and be ready when your humble servant writes to you about the matter. But would it not be better not to wait, but just go ahead and take a collection of say $5 00 and send him a check for it and not have bim say anything about it. Remem Oer, be who gives quick gives twice. The bouse c -mid not hold all that werta there. It is useless to say anything as to tho hospitality of paints of First Creek, fur that is known and read by all men. It is almost proverbial to say Firbt (.'reek hos pitality. I would say more about that but that is my old home and kinsfolk, HO I desist. The next inetliug will bu at Hopewell, about 7 niiies northeast of Anderson Taking all things into consideration, it was one of the best mfetiugs in the history of tho Institute. Ye?, Sunday School work is a glorious work--it is a work per taining to our Muster's kingdom. Tho pleasantness of the occasion was greatly augmented bv tbs sweet, strains of music lead by Bro. T. it.

They ?rn proposing lo leave with Capt. H. ll. Walkin*' company on Wednesday. Some of tho young toon seem to think lhere is nothing but fun and frolic in store for them, but tboy may be deceived as wem many braye fellows who went to the iront in support of tho Confederacy, but, alas, some of them never saw homo again. They found w?tr was no empty il ream. A groat many visitors wero here last week in attendance upon Poore-Bowen marriage. Among thom wo noted the following: Rev. h. C.

Monroe Whi tie-Id, died on tho 22nd ult. It is quite the fashion among local cor respondente?, I observe, to brag on ser mons, but if the discourse of Rev. L. L. Iuabioet at Smith Chapel last Sunday waa not superior I am no judge. The dramatic club gave three entertain ments-Double Springs, Townville and Broyles-all of which were liberally patronized. The ladies and gentlemen comprising the club displayed consider able dramatic talent. I would like to particularize but this would require a running over the entire list of characters and I haven't space for that. Mr. J. M. Fant's school at Townville pie nicked at Portman Shoais Saturday. A party of young people from South Union, in Oconee, consisting of Rev. Mr. Nelson, Mr. S. L.
