The sick in the hospitals. the paciti cos say. are suffering fron lack oIF food. and they also report that seventy-seven were killed and that eiwhty-ine were wounded as the result of the engage ment on Friday last with Col. Wstod's and Young's commands. The most startlijig information ob- I tained from the pacificos is that since the advance began almost twenty thous and Spanish soldiers have arrived at Santiago de Cuba. This statement is made on the authority of General Law ton and he i* also of the opinion that General Pando may be able to effect a junction with General Lihmres at *%i tiago de Cuba. There are two forts of considerable importance within the Spanish lines Punta Blanco, at the southern end of the bay. and Santa Ursula at the south east corner. On the road to Caney. on the north, is another fort. There are about 450 men in each of these fortifi cations. and stretching around the - whole city are nine barbed wire fences, fifty yards apart. while just inside these are lines of rifle pits. ' Outside to the eastward. about two miles beyond the American outposts. is a line of entrenchments. extending from the northern extremity of the city to Morro Castle. A little west of south. at a distance of about seven miles from General Law ton's headquarters. lies Mrro Castle. The road to within a few hundred yards of the batteries at the rear of 31orro was reconnioitered yesterday af'terrn by Gieneral Chaffee and several mnem bers (If his staff. The Cubans believe that if the waI ter supply of the city could be cut off. Santiag~o will have to yield at on*e. *They sayv that Admiral C'ervera's entire fleet, except the torpedo boat destroyer Terror, is in the barbor. General Law tou is inclined to discredit the replorts that guns have been taken - from thle ships to strengthen the defences on land. lie says it would be impossible for Adigiral ('ervera to reach the posi tion of the Anmein armyv with hiis bi a guns from where thle SpIanish ship's lie. Noagressive moeby th Amteri cans is anticipated for several days. The road to the base of suppdies um ist be grreatly improved bef'ore t he oniiward movement can he safelyv made.

In a letter just received by no rey's parents he says: "I had the grood lucko to put a six inch siell into the Cristobal Colon and kill a whole gun erew and also wound the Spaniish Admiral. In the second bombardment I had anotherx stroke of "ood luck.

ABOUT LOAFERS. How to Abate the Great Nuisance of Them. The Charlotte Observer says about ten years ago Charlotte was emancipated from tile habit of loafing. From that time it prospered. Formerly. in front of each store. the professionals sat upon dry goods boxes. whittled sticks and talked over the affairs of men, women and children in the town. One man made a rule that there could be no loaf ing in front of his place of business. He was considered reckless. A little later a clothing hoase made the same rule. The movement grew until today there is not a business house in Char lotte having loafers in chairs and an dry goods boxes in front of any store. They have been driven from one store to an other until now the native local loafer has no refuge except amongst the tran sienit guests at the hotes. Hie still gets out at night and squats on chairs that he never pays for at the hotels and loafs in disguise. as at transient guest of the house. Charlotte has prospered in pro portion as the loafing habit has been broken up. The loafer not only produ ees' niothi ni. but he sa ps the eniergies Of the workingr man. Somen years ago the Observer wrote of? tilte tmnciipatiioi of I'llrt 1ill fromi t he loaing habitt. Th'ie lolcal paper at Fort 31ill copied the ariticle and expressed pleasutre in being writteni about in that strain. Sinice then Fort 31ill has been pr'osperouls. Sal isburiy is prosplerOuis by lie effortt of those people who are never seeni whittling sticks aiid loafing on the streets. lin tile cour'se of time in' all our Sioutthiern tiowns :id cities the loating habit will be disgracef'ul as it ought to be.

Hardly a Legal Document of any Kind Exempt. Telegrams, Checks, Bills of Lading and All Commercial Papers Taxed. The peole of this country have had a war on for two nonths or thereabouts and all it has cost them has been the satisfaction of hurrahing overa Dewey victory. (r a Hobson. a Blue, or Samp Son or Schley. They have not gone deep down into their pockets to pay for all this glory. They knew what hap pened and simply trusted Uncle Sam to foot the hills. Put your Uncle Sam i*l wants sone help. and he will call upon all tlie people to assist him in providing the funds. Take tele'graphing as an instance, and this is a very large factor in the com umereial affatirs 4f the world. Wednes day Maii:Iger Gray' of1 the Western Un ionl received instructions from head quarters to the effect that, every mess age sent should first be staiped with a revenue stamny before it could he trans mitted. The cost of the stamp for every mllessage 1o matter how long will he one cent. The law provides that the lirson "'usin,_ or affixing the stamp shall write or starnp thereupon the initials of-his name and date upon which the same shall be attached or used." Some of the principal offices of the State have been furnished with stamps for the use of patrons. but until the stamps are generally distributed froin the revenue office there may be some delay in receiving replies to telegrams. At some of the smaller telegraph sta tions these stamps may not be available for several weeks. and should a reply be required and the receiver of the tel egram have no stamps and cannot get them there would be no answer. The stamp must be affixed at the sending office and cannot be at the receiving offie3. As to railroad and express companies bills of lading. money orders and all documents relative to shipping will have to be stamped. All the railroads e<ntering here have received a large supply for the use of their patrons. The Register has already published the full text of the bill. but in order to refresh the minds of its readers it pub lishes the tax on some of the docu ments of ordinary business transac tions: "All bonds. debentures, or certifi cates of indebtedness issued after the first of July by any association. com pany or corporation, on each hundred dollars of the face value or fraction thereof, five cents; and on all sales, or agreement to sell, or memoranda of sales or deliveries or transfers of shares or certificates of stock in any associa tion, company or corporation whether shown upon the books of such associa tion, company or corporation, or by any assignment in blank, or by any deliv ery. or by any paper, &e-., on each hun dred dollars of the face value or frac tion thereof, two cents.
