TO DEFEND SfflJNhlH Against the Attacks of the Spanish —The Delayed Train Came in atf Eight O’clock This Morning. AW was excitement ar«und the Union defipt. »hi« morning when the first real Unfted States soldiers that have appeared In Macon in some years passed through go tag to man the forts at Savannah. Battery “F.” of United States artillery arrived io Macon at 8 o’clock from Colum bus. They left Columbus at 4:30 this m*rta«g in charge of Trainmaster Craven of taia Southwestern. There w< re twelve ears in all in the s peon I train. One Pullman sleeping car. two taurkt's skepers for the privates, two palaoo horse cars, and five oars of guns ao«i a*[>pNfs. The coaches with the privates and of ficers were hawked Into the depot, and soma large crowd had gathered to see them. Lieutenant Warren P. Newcomb was in comma® 1. Captain Reilly being dritatoi d at the garrison at Fort Riley. Thu officers went over to'the Brown House for breakfast, while the men scattered all ovar *he streets, some ihuntiag for mail teota-s to post letters to their families and «w-hearts at home, and more of them hunting for saloons, for a United Stales soldier is not averse to indulging in a lit tle whisky and water. The red stripe of the artillery has been verg seldom seen in Macon, and the sol diers were marks of curioas gazes as they weal down th-e streets. There were in all fifty-five men and fifty-five horses, wilh eight rapid fire gur-s of Mnail calibre and a number of gabtling guiw and small arms. The soldiers were a stiirdy looking set, the majority of them belag young men, apparently about 21 years of age. Lieutenant Newcomb said that the mon had »tood the trip all right, and seemed perfectly satisfied at coming to th-e coast. A large crowd assembled at the depot last night to see the train as it passed through, but tt>ey were dis-appointed when they learned that there had been soma de lay, and that the troops would not reach Mawn until this morning. Veterans of the late war turned out in laiwr numbers this morning to see the men who were expected t 6 do the fighting these days and there were many remarks On their appoaranee. One old fellow said: "Yes, I see they are traveling in sleeping ears now, but just wait till they can lie down on a fiat oar running over a rough ro-ad and go sleep and then -they will know’ what war is.” A large crowd went out into the yards to see the -horses and perhaps get a glimpse of She guns and ammunition, but these were guarded and no one was -allowed to see -Wie inside of the ammunition’s cars, though the horses could be seen. It has not been decided where -the troops will be sta-tioned in Savannah, but Lieutenant. J. F. Washburn, of the United States commissary department, is in Sa vannah looking out for the arrangements for the coming of the soldiers. The party stayed in 'Macon until 9:30 when they left for the city by the sea. LIKES HORSES. Michael, the Wheelman, is Infatuated With Racing. New York.

AS OFFICERS Military Cadets Could Serve in Army and Would be Honored. Washington, D. C., March 19—A good many Ohio boys may soon have a chance to do what McKinley did at 18 and For aker at 16, viz: "quit school and take to the field.” In the colleges of the country there are a large number of cadet com panies, with a membership estimated alto gether at about 10,000. The cadets are semimilitary and have had occasional training under regular ramy officers specially deputized for this work. It is learned from an officer on the adjutant general’s staffhere that the ca dets are not under the authority of the United States army in any way, but would be specially valuable and specially honor •er if they should volunteer. Because of their military knowledge they would be given the positions of captains, lieutenants, etc. No doubt the more mil itary-like schools, as that of Belmont Col lege, would furnish officers of high rank. It is calculated* that Ohio could muster a full regiment from her cadets at all the colleges. They would be under the com mand of Governor Bushnell until trans ferred to the command of Major General Miles.

New York, March 19—The famous Dis De Bar-Marsh case has been revived. Four highly colored and ridiculously ornate spook pictures were conspicuous in the supreme cSurt, where the commission ers and a sheriff s jury were assembled to inquire into the sanity of Mrs. Harriet filiza Beach-Rogers. The largest of the pictures was mounted on an easel; the othexs were placed on chairs in the center of the court room. Daubs though they were, Mrs. Beach-Roge«s thinks they were created by the mysterious agency »f high er powers. She claimed she had seen them made; hadwatched them grow under the hands of Michael Angelo, Titian and Rembrandt. The picture of an Arab chief, with long, tapering beard, represents Amarona. According to Dr. Satterlee, Mrs. Rogers said she held long conversations with Amarcna, even though be was only a pic ture. He was her guide, and ehe followed his instructions implicitly. Rev. E. Edwards, pasltor of the English Baptist church at Minersville, Pa., when suffering with rheumatism, was advised to try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. He says: "A few applications of this linament proved of great service to me. It sub dued the inflammation and relieved the pain.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children, Sts fie- /9 xizxilo y „ ~ MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 19 169a. WILL GO TO THE FRONT. General Longstreet Willing to Go to Battle Again. Bainbridge. Ga., March 19 —General Longstreet announces his readiness to go into active service again. Col. D. A. Russell is a pronounced Dem ocratic leader in this section, but has al ways been an enthusiastic admirer of his old corps commander. General Longstreet, whom he followed for over four years. Colonel Russell wrote General Longstreet a letter, wherein he paid a very high com pliment to the general’s soldierly ability and military genius and urging that the general indicate a willingness to enlist in the army, and if he did so, the old vete rans and sons of veterans would rally to his standard by the thousands and embark on transports for Cuba or aid in the de fense of the sea coast, and in the letter Colonel Russell also said while there had been some political differences between the general and his old followers, they would disappear instantly in following the old general’s leadership, as they idolized him as much now as they did from 1861 to 1865, and in the letter Colonel Russell in speaking of the ex-Gonfederate soldier, used the expression: "If Longstreet will lead, we will follow." "Department of Interior, Office of the Commissioner of Railroads, Washington. D. C„ March 2, 1898—Hon. D. A. Russell, Bainbridge, Ga. —My Dear Sir: Yours of the 17th instant received, and it was as pleasing and interesting for me to read such a friendly letter from one of my brave old comrades as it was for you to write it. If the time should ever come when the government shoud call for our friends 10 enlist, yon may rely upon it I will go with you again and do my best with you. My services and sword are at my country’s call, and I am as ready to respond at my present age as I was as a young lieutenant in 1864, as I feel the martial ardor of my youth and the blood flow faster and the pulse beat quicker at the 'thought of the canonn’s roar and the muskets’ ‘zip,’ ‘ping.’ But I have refrained from writing you more promptly because of the apprehension my modest contribu tion might add to the excitement preva lent among the people, and my purpose is to help and strengthen the president rath er than fan the fierce feeling and hot pas sion which disturb, cool, calm action -and conservative judgment. The president can be fully trusted to pursue a patriotic pol icy and reach a wise conclusion, satisfac tory .to our countrymen. But rest assured that should the president make the call it will be my greatest pride that our old army comrades have expressed the desire. ‘lf Longstreet will lead, we will follow.’ After thirty years of tranquility and some political differences these words of soldier ly regard, friendship and confidence from my soldiers speak more than volumes •®uld tell of the noble, fraternal and pa triotic sentiments animating the hearts of my dear old comrades. I remain very truly yours, James Longstreet.” FRENCH ANSV WAFERS These are the Genuine French Tansy Wafers, imported direct from Paris.
