flood tide, and Congressional aétion - is)
interest :
oThe probability of unanimous Con�
gressional action, followed by Execu-
tive approval, made war talk very cur-
rent yesterday. It is known that seme
of the members of the Senate Commit-
tee on Foreign Affairs have from the
first believed that any action taken by
this country in the direction of extend-
ing aid to Cuba will be followed by an
overt act of war from Spain. There
is, without question, some foundation
for this beef, It is not expected that
Spain will allow the island of Cuba to
be wrested from her without a struggle.
Such a course would undoubtedly re-
sult in the overthrow of the Spanish
Government. Some demonstration of
resistance will have to be made, and
this demonstration may be directed
against this Government. The Span-
ish Government might, indeed, regard
it as good policy to engage in a conflict
with this country in order to divert the
attention of its own people from inter-
nal troubles. There are some persons
in the United States who think that a
war m gut be a good thing in this coun-
try for the same reason.
The capac'ty of Spain for prosecuting
a war with the United States has al-
ready been thoroughly canvassed, To
guard the 2,500 miles of Cuban coast
line she has now some sixty-one vessels
in service, but the great majority of
| these would be easy prey for United
States gunboats. In fact, many of
these small ships would have to be
withdrawn, and it would be practically
impossible forthe coast to be thorou gh-
ly patrolled.
harbors which afford safe landing points,
and either a volunteer army from this
country or the regular troops could be
placed with comparative ease upon the
island. As to the outcome of the war
there is no question. The United
States would be victorious and Cuba
would at least be wrenchea from Spain.
While England would probably not
be pleased to see Spain loose Cuba, her
interference is not anticipated. France
might render some assistance to Spain,
because the Bank of France holds
nearly all the Cuban bonds, and the
possibilities of this complication has also
been considered.
The gravity ofthe questron is not
disguised. ~At the same time, the teel-

opinion of the people of Greenville in

JUSTICE AGAIN MISCARRIES.

The Jury Cause a Mistrial by Failing
to Agree"Plea of Murder in Sec-
ond Degree"Nine Years Sen-
tence.
(Special to Daily Reflector.)
Wasminaton, N. C. Mar.,2 "The
trial of Stephen Barfield, the negro
wife murderer, in Beaufort county Su-
perior Court, came to a close Saturday,
after being in progress since Tuesday.
The jury, after having the case two
davs, failed to reach a verdict and a
mistrial was ordered by the Court.
Barfield then entered a plea of murder
in the second degree, and was sentenced
to the penitentiary for nine years.
In passing sentence upon Barfield
Judge Robinson said: oThe Court.
thinks that the jury well might have
convicted the prisoner of murder in the
first degree. I regret very much to
take this course, for I think you ought
to have been hanged. You have been
tried fora similar offense before and
acquitted, when the consensus of opin-
icn was that you were guilty. The
sentence of the Court is that you be im-
prisoned in the penitentiary for a term
of nine years.�
It is reported that on first ballot the
jury stood ten for conviction and two
for acquittal, There were eight col-
ored men on the! jury, each one of
whom, with two of the white men, was
for conviction, the other two white
men being opposed to capital punish-
ment. This mistrial adds another to
the list of murders in Beaufort county
that have been inadequately punished.
In this case Judge Robinson, after
doing all he could to get the jury to
agree, accepted the plea of murder in
the second degree in order to relieve
the county of the expense of another
trial. The sentence of nine years for
Barfield is almost equivalent to a_ life
sentence, as he is now 695 years old.

- quished Is Left to Suffer in
JOHN F. DIVINE;
Muffied to the ears in a dark-blue
sweater the heavyweight sat in his
dressing-room. A couple of furrows,
denoting concentrated thought,T ap-
peared in the narrow space between
his eyebrows and hair. Ile was about
to enter the ring and expose his chin
to the deadly knock-out blow. Near
this magnificent human brute hovered
his trainer, also attired in a sweater,
and keenly alert to every move and
sound. The suave gentleman in the
role of financial backer, who. man-
ipulates the gate receipts, was also
there, trying to appear gay and deb-
onaire, but palpably anxious. At the
bolted door stood a fawning tin-
horn sport withoutTa penny in his
pocket, but with a good prospect 6f
fondling a couple of dollars if things
went right.He knew-the heavyweight
from having seen his picture in the
pink periodicals and worshiped him ac-
cordingly. . "
The dressing-room contained little
beside the heavyweightand his friends.
In one corner was a wide cot of rough
boards hastily knocked together, on
which the pugilist reclined, thinking
that he thought. On a table opposite
stood a number of bottles containing
whisky, alcohol and Hniments. There
vere also a sponge, some fans and
%
~towels, and under the table a tub of
ice.
Outside could be heard the roar of
the rabble at six dollars per head, en-
joying the preliminary bout as seen
through the murky haze of tobacco
smoke, The event of ~the evening"
the meeting of the heavyweights"was
next on the programme. A _ favored
few gained admittance to the dressing-
orooms, for there were two or three re-
treats. Substantial-looking men in
cheesé-colored overeoats and diamonds
| a shade or two lighter crowded in to
shake the hand of the thumper on
whom they had staked their moncy,
and to whisper a word of encourage-
ment fn his ear. Some who were not
sports, but had friends in that line,
gazed awestricken at the reclining
gladiator and his array of fighting par-
aphernatia,
liaving exhausted his oratory in
making the match, the heavyweight
had nothing to say, and those who did
give vent to words spoke in sukducd
| Whispers. It was a painfully solemn
und impressive oecasion. Now and
then the trainer, lest he be overlooked
it the shadow of the stellar attraction,
clipped a bit of court plaster with
which he tenderly ~dressed an imagi-
yary scratch on ~the priekled paws of
his employer.
Eventually the battle takes place,
weights are back in their rooms. The
winuer is now the most voluble of the
excited throng which crowds the small
apartment to the door. He recapitu-
lates every blow given'and taken dur-
ing the fight, and points out on the
chin of the backer the exact spot on
Which he landed the final punch.
Everybody is deliriously. happy, for
they have won money, and call the
backer familiarly by his first name.
That astute individual is effusively
solicitous for the welfare of his trained
animal, and presses upon him a drink
of brandy from a very small and curi-
ously wrought bottle, The shape of
the flask creates the. impression that
the liquor is of a superior quality, dis-
tilled expressly for winning pugs.
He is slow about dressing himself, is
the victor, for the red welts and gouges
on his neck, breast and arms enhance
his popularity 100 per cent. But he
affects mot to notice these wounds and.
chats gayly about how he knéw that
dub, wouldn't be in it with him, etc.
They all finally depart, however, with
the gate receipts, and.spend the night
in drinking champagne,
the dub sits blinking dizzily at
vacancy, He shakes so that the trainer.
ig unable to dress the fallen idol. There
i$ no one present but the trainer and a
couple of poor but loyal friends who
had nothing to stake on the result,

ported the loser before the fight, and:

nel ~Asthmatic Attacks.
. The immediate cause of the distress
of an asthmatic patient struggling for
breath is the contraction of the bron-
chioles, which prevents the exhalation
of the air from the lungs without the
ereatest effort, Temporary relief from
an asthmatic attack may nearly always
be obtained by causing the patient to
inhale some narcotic vapor, by means
of which the pneumogastric nerve is
obtunded, and thus the spasms are
made to cease. This, however, is ob-
_jectionable, as it not infrequently gives
rise to a drug habit.. Before trying the
tarcotic, it is best to obtain relief, if
possible, by attacking the cause of the
trouble, For instance, if it be accom-
panied by a fit of indigestion, wash-
ing out the stomach by means of a
stomach tube will often relieve the
most distressing paroxysm. If caused
by a prolapsed stomach or a free kid-
ney, permanent relief may be obtained
by restoring these organs to proper po-
sition. Hot and cold sponging of the
spine and the application of an ice com-
Press, or a rubber bag filled with broken
ice, on the front part of the neck, are
also means which have been found of
great service in this trouble."N, Y.
