Tim Situation.
Since our last Issue thu e has been
mystification as to the whereabouts of
the Spanish Qeefr. 11 was advertised as
in Spanish waters. lathe meanwhile
Sampson sailed Bast of Cuba,aud bom
barded San Juan, the eapilol of Porto
Rico?giving /thorn a task of hit
quality. OurAlttle mosquito Meet left
around Cubs/assaulted Cardenas, on
the North ofast of the Island, where
WO bud the Winslow, a torpedo boat,
disabled ami/Ensign Bagley kiied with
some dozen/asualtles. Our boys man
aged to g*i ""I' Of the hole. In the
meanwhile/he Spanish Flotilla having
sailed Soup and West, passed Samp
son and aipoared in Caribbean waters
on the SoK.li American Coast, Bohley
disnppeard with his Flying Squadron
from Hiiipton Heads, supposed to have
gone SOth and between him and
Sampsoitbey ought to lind the Span
ish Klei and save the trouble of a re
turn tri? across the Atlantic. The U.
S. oanpt safely land troops in Cuba
until tis Meet is disposed of. A sharp
assauijwas made on Cienfuegos on the
Southeast of Cuba?the purpose of
our aftult being strategic. We suf
fered little blood-lotting and bones*
brealog and got away. The Oregon,
a flrsdass man of war, sailing from
Paoil waters, and hist beard from on
the /azillian coast homeward bound
SUpfied to be safe in Cuban waters and
in fi arms of friends.This is the home
gtflS.ntthis writing. Dewey is at Mu
ni in the antipodal regions, awaiting
t/ps and reinforcements from San
inoisco. The Charleston, first -class
Jiser, is on the way to Manilla from
h Francisco. The idea is to send to
iwoy*ten thousand troops to handle
ie Spaniards at Manilla. In the
(eanwhile the government is active in
reparations for the war,long or short,
is may happen. The duty will devolve
apon the United States to quiet things
find maintain order in the Philipines,
Where all tho Powers have mercantile
and business interests. There are
(newspapers and people who are disap
pointed that Sampson bas'nt silenced
every gun in the Spanish West Indies
/ --but we must pardon the weaknesses
/ of many people. We will be victorious,
i we are confident, but we are fighting
real men?and the usual price for vic
tory is a fair equivalent in blood?and
treasure. Brave sailers and soldiers
expect nothing else.

Our Luxury.
War is so common an incident that
unless at our aoors it exoltc^s little at
tention. Our little planet is but a
mustard sood in the system of tho uni
verse and tbroo-fourths covered by
water. Yet there has boon no day of
universal peace in historic or tradi
tional times?since "Jacob lifted up
hla eyes, and looked, and bohold, Esau
came, and with him four hundrod
men." And now that wo have tho
luxury of a war on our hands, we must
take all Its chances?Its triumphs?its
dofeats, its humiliations. There must
be blood?when tho nrbitrimout is
that of ths sword We must expect
the Spaniard to fight it out liko a man
There has boon no peoplo without its
heroes since Hercules?and all history
and all song tend to raiso up nations
of warriors. Somo of our great ship*
must go to the bottom If the war lasts
?many of our generous, noble youth,
[as Bagley?as Absalom, beautiful and
' perfoot from tho "sole of his foot ovon
l)pto tho crown of his hoad." Wo may
f watch tho ftlght of birds for good signs
land good news, but whilo wo wago
|war wo may oxpoct hard licks As a
rule dead men win tho fight. Tho suc
seaaful storming of a fortress may cost
thousands of livos? but its capture
lako slaves of a whole people. Wo
lust be patient, trust our bravo men?
ind we must win.
Foreign Entanglements.
[There is a general idea that Britain
lpathtzes with us In our present
rouble with Spain. That France,
lustrla and Germany and possibly
luasia with tho Spaniard. If thoro
lould eventuate a general war Britain
[ml the Unitod States must be fairly a
natch for the batch. As a rulo, as
jhts Britain so victory goes?so of
jeao States. In tho war of tho revo
ltion the colonios won after eight
fears?but wo had France with us and
fore than all, the Whigs in the Parlla
ent. In tho war of 1812 tho British
irnt our capltol. Jackson won at
VTow Orleans. England now and tho
Tnited Statoa in material roaourcea
!e a hundred fold stronger than then,
e think that there need bo little ap
ehension of foreign inter-mcdllng.
tTho decision In Vandorcock involv
Ig questions under our Dispensary
Lw has been filed by the Supremo
|urt of the Unitod Statos. The O.
stores must go. Judge Simonton is
?tained in this that a prlvato party
i Import his liquors from a foreign
ite without tho nocesalty of first
iding a sample to Columbia for an
yam and inspection. Tho result will
to fill tho border counties with
llnd tigers and State constabulary.?
ae Dlepensary will be largely elirai
Ued as a political quostion. Hero
rd there thero is an old fashioned
amoorat, about out of date, who op
see the State having a big businoss
hand with a thousand agents?
^loh may bo uaod as a political fao
As to the O. P. establishments,
ey are few and far botween and
^re doing little or nothing in the
ite._

They say-the dead in the streets
of Havana -reeoneentrados, are pick
ed up and taken off ill carl loads.
At Manilla rations are short and
the inhabitants uro feasting on
horse flesh. Dewey is in the harbor?
insurgents outside the city on land.
Senator Tillman will have great re
gard for tho Fedoral Supremo Court
as knooklng out Judge Simontou in
sustaining tho (). P. Stores. He will
too utterly reprobate that Court for
sustaining Judge Simonton in allowing
liquors importod into tho State for
porsonal use.
Chamberlain, British Colonial Min
ister made a strong pro-American
speech. Whereupon, the Spanish un
dertake to alarm the Powers at the
significance of this forraiadable alli
ance.
From the composition of the State's
Volunteers it is clear that no town or
county can boast a company. The en
tire State contributes to the organiza
tions.
South Carolina's quota of troops is
still behind, due to a large per centum
of rejections for physical require
ments.
