Some of the cap itals have already adopted the idea of having the men marched around the streets in charge of a corporal to learn them the stop and order of .march. There are enough of the well drilled men in the companies to balance the whole company and keep it togc ther until all of the men are drilled. All day yesterday and today the officers were in conference with the passenger men, and though they M il' not give out any info.- nation It is be lieved that everything is being gotten in readiness for the troops to move Monday.

Major Kenan says that he is .proud of nis men, and that be will not be ashamed to put them against any of the wealthy Ra tional guards that have volunteered. The captains of the companies will post the nec.gsary orders telling the men what they are expected to carry, and how they ar, expected to prepare. Everything is bi -ing conducted now on a strictly military •basis, and the line between officers and privates has been tightly drawn, as the officers realize tha this is necessary for perfect discipline, especially where th? men are known to them and are personal friends.

I had a little boy who was nearly dead from an atack of whooping cough. My neighbors recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

It is the best cough medicine I ever had in the house. —J. s. Moore, South Burgettstown. Pa. For sale by H. J. La mar & Sons, druggists. MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING MAY 7 jagS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Os Bibb County, Met This Morning to Take Action on Primary Rules. REPORT NEXT MONDAY.

After the reading of the minutes by Secretary ALtmayer, the following resolu tion was introduced by Mr. S.hA. Crump: Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed for the puiiKise of drafting rules and regulations of delegates to the state convention and report back to this committee for its approval on Monday evening at 6 p. m. at the court house.” The resolution was put and passed unan imously anid without any discussion.

In Carrp Tampa, Fla., May 7. —Tbe pre liminary work incident to the departure of an army, no matter what service may be required in the field, is one of hustle, bustle and tussle. The soldiers hustle to get things all straightened out; they bustle about to look for mislaid articles, and they tussle with tent ropes and with packing straps. An army in camp expects to move at any time. but, notwithstanding this, there is a steady accumulation of surplus articles to be disposed of. When the troops were sent here they knew that it was merely a place of rendez vous, and they all took with them many articles that would add to their comfort during their stay. For instance, they all had the cone wall tents, a delightful shelter. This is not a regulation field tent, and this, with many other things, is packed away when the or der comes to move. Al such goods are snugly tucked in big packages and sent back to the post from whence they came. All the soldier takes with him is his gun, his ammunition and his little “pup” of dog tents, as the boys in blue call them. All the officers gather about the head quarters tent and await orders. The first thing the soldier does is to fill his cartridge belt. 'Many of the lads have been stripped of the buttons on their coats by charming ladies, who keep them as souvenirs of the brave boys’ stay in their land. And the soldier boys did not refuse, either, for the American soldier is gallant and an admirer of the fair sex.

Washington, May 7.—Sampson’s fleet is steaming toward Porto Rico for the pur pose of seizing that island, giving battle to the Spanish sqadron, which is expected to arrive there in five days, and to protect the Oregon and 'Marietta in case these ves sels, now sailing northward from R'io de Janeiro are assailed by an overwhelming force. The navy department does not believe that the Cape Verde fleet has returned to Cadiz or any other port in the Eastern hemisphere. The vessels which are report ed to have arrived’at Cadiz, are believed to be the ones that isailed from Cape St. Vincent in a northerly direction, when the Spanish warships sailed from that point in a westerly direction. The squadron go ing in a northernly direction consisted chiefly of transports, and did not ‘include any fighting vessels of strength. The de partment is convinced, as a result of the report of the spy ship, which followed the squadron for thirty-six hours in a west ernly direction, that Porto ’Rico is this squadron’s objective point. It has not been heard of since it left the Cape Verde is land. Tao n'avy lepartment 3 confident tea. had it or any of its vessels to iciu-l at any point our confidential agents would have communicated the fact to the de partment.

DEATH'S GAME HAS STERN RULES Civilized Nations Cannot Take Lives, Even in War, Without Bound UIIEt HUMIIIIK EDICT. Certain Measures Dictated, Which Must Be Recognized, But the Spy is Doomed. Every day develops new questions about the rules of war. It is very important to get an accurate understanding of the reg ulations. Following are the rules relieved of all exeeess phraseology: War is not lawless. - It is lawful to starve the hostile belli gerents, armed or unarmed. Commanders, whenever admissible, in form the enemy of their intention to bom bard a place, so that the non-eomibatants, especially women and children, may be removed before the bombardment shall commence. Retaliation is the sternest .feature of war. A reckless enemy often leaves to his opponent no other means of securing him self against the repetition of* 'barbarous outrage. An unjust and inconsiderable retaliation reduces both belligerents to the plans of savages. The victorious army appropriates all public money, public movable property and sequesters it for its own 'benefit, ami all the revenue of real property belonging to the hostile nation. As a general rule, churches, hospitals, schools and charitable institutions are not considered ipulblic property. Private property, unless forfeited by crimes, can be seized only toy way of mil itary necessity. All wanton violence committed against persons of the invaded country, all de struction of property, unless authorized by the commanding officer; all robbery, all pillage or sacking, even after taking a place by main force, all criminal assault, wounding, maiming or killing of such in habitants are prohibited under the penalty of death, or such severe punishment as may seem adequate for the gravity of the offense. A soldier, officer or private, in the act of committing such violence,, and disobey ing a superior ordering him to abstain from it, may be lawfully killed on the spot by such superior. Chaplains, surgeons, apothecaries, hos pital nurses and servants are not prison ers of war,, unless the commander has rea son to retain them. A prisoner of war is subject to no pun ishment for being a public enemy, nor is any revenge wreaked upon him by the in tentional infliction of any suffering or dis grace, by cruel imprisonment, want of food, mutiliation, death, or any other bar barity. Prisoners of war are subject to confine ment or imprisonment such as may be deemed necessary on account of safety. They may be required to work for the benefit of their captor’s government, ac cording to their rank and condition. Whoever intentionally inflicts additional wounds on an enemy already disabled, or kills such an enemy, or who orders and en courages soldiers to do so, shall suffer death. Scouts or single soldiers, if disguised in j the dress of the country’,or in the uniform of an army hostile to their own, employed in obtaining information, if found within or lurking about the lines of the captor, are treated as spies, and suffer death. Armed prowlers, by whatever names they may be called, are not entitled to tbo pri vileges of the prisoner of war. A spy is a person who secretly, in dis guise or under false pretenses, seeks in formation with the intention of communi cating it to the enemy. The spy is .pun ishable with death by hanging by the neck, whether or not he succeeds in obtaining the information. The bearer of a flag of truce cannot in sist upon being admitted. iHe must always be admitted with great caution. It is customary to designate by certain flags, usually yellow. the hospitals in places which are shelled, so that the be seiging army may avoid firing on them. In the matter of naval warfare the laws of war are not so clearly defined. There are no noncombatants in naval warfare. The main issue is that of privateering. This has already been fully defined in The News. The United States is opposed to the practice. Spain has declared that until she make up her mind to resume her pri vateering, as of old, she will treat priva teers as pirates. Pirates are outlaws, and must be hanged from the yard arm as soon as captured. Plies, riles, irnes i Dr, Williams’ Indian Pile Ointment will cure Blind.
