a.l Zie slielis are being- held for their

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

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. I'roni that ti me f'oward every South

WR REVENUE.
How Uncle Sam Will Raise the
Sinews of War.
STAMPS FOR EVERYTHING.
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
