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 In fact, many of these small ships would have to be withdrawn, and it would be practically impossible forthe coast to be thorou gh- ly patrolled.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- sure to. he taken, no amattar. what the consequences ze. be.” } Not Blow und Gas, But Water Ot course there are those who always look on the dark side of every thing, jyand who predict failure for every sug: | gested improvement or enterprise, One gentleman has told the RerLecTor to mark his prediction, to-wit: That the meeting in the Court House Tuesday night would be marked with a lot of blow and gas, and result in nothing be- |ing accomplished. well, that’s a poor opinion of the people of Greenville in the face of the present urgent needs of the town. It is not blow and gas that are wanted now, but water.

Rev. N JUSTICE AGAIN MISCARRIES. neem eee 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: “The 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. ITEMS METHODISTIC. ne I One addition by letter to the Meth- odist church Sunday.

DIVINE; Muffied to the ears in a dark-blue sweater the heavyweight sat in his dressing-room. A couple of furrows, denoting concentrated thought,’ 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 without’a 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- “rooms, 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.

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. ll e yea GCREENVILLE @ Wale Acaceny, The next session of this.
