MOXTOJO K.VrLAIXS IUS DEFEAT.
Illumes Bewcy f«r Kefiisiira; to Come
\Viiltin Ranjue.
'CHICAGO,'--' '• .January ,I.— The ' Tribune
prints the /text of Admiral -Montbjo's de
fence under court-martial proceedings for
his defeat at Manila. The bulk: of the
blame is charged' by the" Admiral, not- to
himself or his fleet, but to the Spamsn
Government,, for its unprepared condi
tions. He also claims that Admiral Dewey
kept out of range of the Spanish guns— :i
proceeding which Montojo refers to as a
retreat.": • .- ■■ ■
■ Montojo says: : . „*-,'-
jjThe ■: only preparation that -had been
made for war was made by the Ameri
cans, who were btii?inessllke, and at I
ranged everything with pencil and paper.
The initial velocity of our cannon was ulO
metres; that of the smallest :cannon ; ot
our enemy was 750 metres. Admiral
Dewey with pencil in lmnd, noted the
thickness of his mantlets and his. case
ments, and knew .what energy -.was re
quired to penetrate, thorn. He also knew
exactly the weight of the most- powerful
projectile of our ships, and by a simple
mathematical calculation he arrived, at
the distance at which he could, fight witn
out himself receiving any. harm. Thus he
ascertained that he could fight at. a dis
tance of 2 UOO or-S.OCO metres with absolute
impunity. The situation, therefore, -was
iust this: We were, vulnerable to nil the
proiectiles of the enemy, and this The
enemy well knew, while he got out or
reach" of our cannon and remained out or
reach all the while."-
Admiral Montojo adds: .^
"In order to give an idea of our miser
.able situation.M may mention that we had
only fourteen torpedoes for the defence of
metres of space, and .-that the cable,
which we obtained 'in : Hongkong, was
only long enough 'for 1 five: torpedoes, and
therefore; only five torpedoes ■: could be
nlaced."

'Probably"; the finest flock, of sheep In
the county up to Christma«-Day was
that. .-'-:of ■■•-' Judge.; Thomas Croxton; but'
during the night of ;the 24th; dogs got
into' the l^en and killed several, and tore
every sheep in the flock, ''a/ majority of ;
them : severely. . Mr. ; ;T: ;c. McDaniel : dis
covered th e a ttack abou t daylight ; on :
Christmas morning, and surprised the
dogs, at/ their .work: He procured his
.shotgun, and advanced on one ;of the. dogs
that' was in the act of killing a sheepi.
The dog was a white bull, and stood
his ground, turning upon Mr. McDaniel
at ths very; bars "of .the pen. ; Mr.' Mc-
Dariiel, placed the muzzle of the gun with-,
in a "foot. of the dog's liead, and blew- It
nearly off. The other'dog started to run,
but tho other barrel laid him out also,
The : sheep are ruined; however, as not
one out of thirty escaped being bitten.
"DOG LAW NEEDED. , ..
. Appropos of dogs; it would be well, while
• the- ' Legislatu re is in - session, to have
some act passed making the owner of a
dog that had previously killed or worried .
sheep or, other stock, liablo-to a fine/or
•preferably to punitive damages, for keep
ing the dog. The same legislation ought
to include in its scope dogs that worry or
:■ kill turkeys or other fowls. L Many ladies :
are engaged in raising turkeys, and.every
year muchloss is inflicted on their young
flocks ; by : dogs -that are, generally, of tho
"yallcr" variety, [ and not worth their
room in, the world. The depredators; are
generally killed in. a" second or third at
tack,-but the loss they manage to inflict
is tremendous in, the aggregate. ,;. .
The. wind. was Easterly. Christmas-Day,
and no doubt contributed in preventing
a successful. issue; of various hunting ex
peditions that went out in high:, hopes.
Master Ellerbe Carter. Wednesday killed
a gray eagle,; measuring 7 feet : and. 2,
inches from' tip to tip of his wings. The
bird had. been caught some time- recent
ly.in a hawk-trap, and had a small steel
trap on one. talon when shot. It was the
largest specimen" seen about .here for .
some • years, with enormous beak and
talons. :His great strength Jiad enabled
it to break the trap loose from the polo
to ; which it was probably fastened when
it caught him, and; fly qffwithit. The
condition of the talon in the jaws of the
trap showed that it had been hurt some
liUlo time. /.- '
PEOPLE /CHEERFUL.
While no new enterprises have been"
started. in' 1 our tov/n. lately,, we -have-few
complaints to make,, and our people : are
looking cheerfully -V forward" to the New
Year. ■ Tlv^; sales; at- the stores indicate
more money among all classes of: people
than twelve months ago, or, in fact,. for
several , years ; past. -/ Two new dwellings
of very fair proportions ; have recently
been erected, and no old ones burned or.
torn down. Several ■ have been repaired
and. improved. 1 The rim-bending business
here is fiourishin??.- and the capacity of.
the mill is taxed to keep' anywhere near
up with the orders. - .' • ;
Nothing new has developed in the case
of the- drowning: of the two: fishermen
from Richmond county, and no inquest
was held, the friends: of the men being
satisfied their death was due to exposure.
Our people are looking anxiously. for
.work on the Richmond - and ' Tidewater
road which, it is hoped, will soon put us
in rail connection with , the State capital.
