I Macon Soldiers March on for Their First Point of Mobilization, TWO HONORED AND FIFTY" Given a Great Send Off by the Pub lic Generally Roster of the Companies as They Go, Tears and laughter and ; h nty og both were to bo round at the Southern depot yesterday morning when the first battal ion of the first region nt of the United States volunteers of Georgia went away to the war or to Griffin. it may have been in part if not in whole tin regret that the boys were to go to (Irinin that caused the .tears to flow —in which ease Ute mourners and the troops had many sympathizers. So far ait least, there is nothing to Indi cate that the volunteer- are to be sent to the front at once. In fact they would not be a useful body of men a. organized fight ers in their present condition. ‘But a few months of good stiff drill will got them into shape, and next Octob t if the war is not over by that time, the Georgia boys may yet lake a trip to Cuba. But notwithstanding their somewhat motley appearance, tile battalion that marched out yesterday will, when trimmed up, uniformed am! drilled, be a fine body of men. They looked yesterday more if they were soldiers just coming out of a hard campaign than soldiers just going to .the front. Tile world and his wife was there to e-ee the boys off, and they had no com plaint coming on the send off they received Two hundred and fifty rank and silo and sev.it commissioned officers made up the number of in.n who went out.

Some weeks ago when it was thought that the Second regiment would be order ed out as a whole, some of the old mem bers of the Macon Volunteers met and dis cussed the matter and it was then decided to organize. But when the change was made and the governor decided to disrupt, the militia of the state and to throw all courtesies and all military precedent to the wind, the organizers thought that there would be no ne&l for the guard. As a matter of sac-t there is no need of it as there are enough members of the different companies left to form at least three good companies. But Colonel Wiley’ does not know what to do and is awaiting orders from the com- in chief. None of the companies have officers and it may be necessary .to anoint new officers t'o the different compa nies. | As a matter of -fact it must be under [ stood that the names of the companies re main behind them and that none of the Macon com'panies have gone out. That is to say the Floyd Rifles, the .Ma con Hussars and the Macon Guards are still here. Their officers have gone to the United States volunteers and so have some of their members, but the companies are still here and belong to the state militia, •and it is probable that officers wil be ap pointed for them, htrah rahtranararolwg pointed for them.

MM MUSICAL FESTIVAL Opens Tonight—The Finest Aggre gation of Musical Talent Ever Brought to Macon. The great May Musical Festival opens tonight at the Academy of Music. The Boston Symphony and Seial New York or chestra, with a chorus of one hundred voices, headed by Alice Verlet, from the Theater Comic, Paris, and Metropolitan Opera House and Astoria, New York, and nine ocher vocalists and eight 'instrumen tal soloists from the Boston Symphony and Seidl orchestra, will take pant in the festival. The orchestra is under the di rection of Mr. Strube. A sketch of Mr. Strube’s career and an account of the circumstances attending the composition of his symphony, have ap peared in The News already, l.t is not nec essary, therefore, to speak now of the per sonality of the composer, except to remind the reader that Mr. Strube is 29 years old, and is one of the first violins of the sym phony orchestra. While it is true that at a first hearing neither all the 'beauties nor the imperfec tious of a work are revealed to a hearer, it is also true that a fair idea of the im agination and the technique of the com poses follows such a hearing. This idea may be modified slightly after more inti mate acquaintance with the music. The impressions made by Mr. (Strube’s symphony are these: 'He is not an echo; he has a voice of his own. He has musi cal imagination. He has a well developed technique in composition. There is the de lightful exuberance of youth exulting in creation, and, although the server 'is at time's a little Ixiisterous, suggesting high animal spirits, it is, after all, refreshing, 'and a favorable omen for the future. Per haps IMr. Strube at times forgets himself, and then talks too loud and too continu ously, but he has something to say, and much of i<t is worth the hearing. At any rate, he does not stammer, he does not re peat solemnly respectable commonplaces. He is not choked by tradition, even though he is in rite evening dress of approved sym phonic form. He may go so far as to say things that create a flutter, as when eye glasses are raised at an audacious young man who contradicts the fogylsm of smug authority. (But when the evening is over you remember what the young man said. it is not claimed that the movements are of equal worth, or that tne composer’s flight is equally maintained. Thus the second and the third movements are to superior to the first and the finale. They show a firmer grasp on superior ma terial. Not that the first movement and I the finale are poor in melodic charm or in genious development; bput that the Adagio and the ‘Scherzo, seem to be more firmly knit; the strokes are more certain, more direct. In the Adagio Mr. Strube does not stop after he has achieved a charming and flowing theme, and then ramble about, watch in hand, until it. is the proper time for him to return to his first love; he pre sents fresh matter, strongly developed; he keeps the interest from flagging; and when he does return to the original sub ject he is not so enamored with it that he feels obliged to cling to i.t until the hearer is t'ired of the iteration and endless mad ifications. As for the Scherzo, it is sparkling, ingenius, delightfully scored.- The symphony as a whole is distinguish ed by its melodic freshness, rythmic va riety. thoughtfulness in development and digressions and courage in the instrumen tation. As some have not fully understood the scale of prices for the ’May Musical Fes tival, this afternoon and tomorrow, The News is requested to give them here. They will be as follows: I Season tickets $3 00 Single ticket to any performance.... 1 50 Balcony, back of first two rows 1 00 GaJery 50 This gives everyone an opportunity to enjoy this, the greatest musical event that Macon has ever known.

The News stated a few days ago that the Fulton Baptist church case, which has created so much trouble and excitement among the negroes, had been thrown out of court tby Judge Felton .when called for trial in the superior court. This statement was a mistake. The case was not thrown out of court but was sim ply withdrawn from (the jury by the con sent of all parties at interest, and the in junction granted by Judge Felton last summer against the minority of the con gregation intenferring with the Rev. T. E. Turner’s right to preach in the Fulton Baptist church was left to stand in full force and effect. Turner is still pastor of the church, still has the right to preach, ami the minority of the congregation is still restrained by an order ‘from Judge Felton from interfering in any way with Turner’s rights. Judge Felton in post poning further consideration of the case hnnouneed to Turner and to the congrega tion of tine Fulton ‘Baptist church that the members had the right to elect a new pas tor at any meeting of their conference pro vided they could get a majority of those on the roll book of the church ‘to vote to turn Turner out. It seems that the dis s.i.isfitj element of the congregation has already made several attempts to get a majority vote but each time have failed and the Rev. T. E. Turner is resting se curely and serenely upon the crest of the wave of his popularity. CASTOTTTA.

Twenty Spanish Officers Passed Through Macon Yesterday. WERE GIVEN JI OUTIOI By Macon People -Were Agreeably Surprised—Col. Cortijo Talks to Thtf News. Several thousand Macon people, men, women and children, white and black, gathered at the Union depot yesterday to see the twenty Spanish prisoners who were being taken to Fort McPherson, near At lanta, for safe keepning. It had been more than thirty years since prisoners of war had been seen in Macon, and the younger generation witnessed such a sight for tne first time, hence there was unusual curiosity manifested—much oi it, it must be confessed, not altogether credit able. But the prisoners were evidently so agreeably surpised that it was only curi osity, instead of ill feeling, that prompted such a gathering, that they rather relish ed the situation, or, at least, made the most of it. They were affable to a degree, as soon as convinced that no violence would :be offered them, and with a grace of manner that iwas most admirable, they undertook to please their visitors as best they could. Tae autograph craze seemed to possess the crowd, and the prisoners promptly fell in with the spirit of rhe occasion, and the majority of them spent hours writing au tographs for the curiosity seekers. But, in justice to them, it should be stated that they did not accept pay for such service, as has been published. On the contrary, they’ bore themselves with the dignity of gentlemen, as in truth they were. They seemed, indeed, to appreciate the kindly spirit displayed on the part of Macon peo ple, and were especially grateful for the many little courtesies, in the shape of wine, cigars, etc., tendered them by the citizens who sympathized with them in their predicament. In voicing their appreciation Surgeon Sincion Garcia y Julian smilingly said: “It is my wish that we were in a posi tion to reciprocate.” Evidently the attention showered upon the Spaniards during their stay in Macon made a profund impression upon them. When they first arrived they were fearful to open their ear windows, for the reason, as one of the second lieutenants expressed, that they expected to be stoned or insulted. ‘When assured that there was no such feel ing in Macon against them, and that our people never stoned an enemy, the young officer expressed surprise, and it was not long before the entire party became as cordial as was possible under the cir cumstances. Old 'Colonel Cortijo, (Corteeho) the ranking officer of the party, was especially affable when a News man found him in the rear of the car patiently’ writing auto graphs for the crowd. He shook hands cabulary the reporter thought to fall back in Spanish, but as the latter coudn’t “sabe,” he had to take the will for the deed. ‘Having an emergency French vo cabulary the reported thought to fall back on this, and when Colonel Cortijo was asked if he could “parlez vous,” he replied, “Oui, oui,” with a vehemence that forbo ded a fluency calculated -to leave the re porter at the post. The latter, however, asked Colonel Cortijo to go it easy and he would try to follow. The old veterans was glad enough to carry on a conversation, even on the installment plan, so in this way The News man managed to extract an interview that was both interesting and valuable—in fact, highly valuable, if measured by the difficulties that attended the achievement. To begin with. Colonel Cortijo punctured tho fake story that made him the "beau frere” of General Weyler. He seemed eager to have it understood that he was in no way related to Weyler. Whether be cause he thought the admission would be against him, or whether he was too honest or too modest to claim such distinction, is an open question. The colonel stated, however, that he had had the honor of serving under Weyler during six years in Catelonia. He prided himself on being a veteran of African wars and of being a commander of cavalry in Cuba. He was going from Cienfuegos to Havana aboard the transport Argonauta, rhe said, when captured, and he wanted it distinctly understood that it was through no fault of their own, no lack of valor, that they were captured. There was sim ply no use to resist, he said, so they very promptly surrendered. He realized that he was now a prisoner of war and was prepared to take whatever was coming to him. He was a little wary about discussing the Spanish-American war. but remarked that while the United States perhaps hqd the advantage on water, Spain would de feat us on land. Spain, he said, has 100,- 000 veteran troops in Cuba, all now thor oughly acclimated and ready’ for battle. These are fired more than ever with pa triotism and are prepared to sell their lives dearly. In addition, said ‘Colonel Cortijo, every man and boy in Spain is willing and eager to die for his country. “•While the United States have many more people,” he said, “We will have more fighters. I am perfectly sure of the result on land,” he concluded. When asked about the story recently published (by the New York Herald pur porting to give an account of his meeting with Laborde, Colonel Cortijo smiled and said: “It is without truth. Nothing of the kind occurred. Now you may see why we have censors; we will not permitt such stories. I have been offered no indignity whatever, and it is not true I spat in Laborde’s face while a prisoner at Ca banas—for the reason that I have never seen the man to know’ him.” He had nothing to say’ about Dewey’s victory, though none of the party seemed to be in any way’ depressed over the fact. They had heard the first reports, but, somehow, seemed to be still doubtful if ali the truth had been told. The party was an interesting one, not only because they were prisoners, but be cause they were men,of more than average intelligence and breeding. Several were pure-blooded Castilians, fair of complex ion. proud and dignified. They were by no means poverty stricken, either, for many of them wore diamonds and jewelry of considerable value, while they had money to burn. This they exchanged very freely, perhaps eagerly, for American money with all who wished the Spanish currency as a souvenir. They always gave, as near as possible, value for value, and several hun dred dollars of Spanish coins and shin plasters were left in Macon. It was no ticeable. however, that none of them ac cepted money for anything except their own money. They seemed to be highly amused as well as pleased at the reception tendered them. They were, in many ways, a reve lation to our people, and although appear ing at a great disadvantage, in their field uniforms of blue-grey denim, with the dust of travel and a week’s growth of beard to render them shabby looking, beneath this rough exterior. could be seen marks of breeding that plainly told their caste, though there were a few in the lot who did not appear to be con sidered the social equals of the others, a condition which common misfortune had not changed. One of the first lieutenants expressed some indignation at the character of their Do You Ride a Wheel? If so, you want to go to J. N. NEEL’S and see the New Bicycle Pants at $2.00 and $3 00. You want a pair of the New Bicycle Leggins at 50c and SI.OO. You want one of the pretty new Fancy Flannel Shirts. These are the things that makes wheeling a pleasure. Let us fit you out. .MAC.Q.Nk.JG2A a guards, for a true Spaniard is quite as particular as a Southerner as to race dis tinction, but on the whole, they were quite content to let well enough alone. And in this connection it should be stated that there is no truth whatever in the publish ed statement that the prisoners flirted with or in any way noticed'the negro wo men of Tytbee. The News man rode with them to the junction, and no such oeurrence took place, as several will attest who were also present in the car. As a prominent citi zen who conversed with them yesterday in their own language said today, "Such a charge is a gratuitous insult, and is utterly without provocation.” This can easily be believed by anyone who knows anything at all about Spanish customs. The Negro Guards. There were many indignant expressions heard yesterday at the action ot the gov ernment authorities in sending their pris oners through in charge of negro guards. Such an insult was uncalled tor, and prac tically everyone agreed that it was a gross outrage and a reflection on the intelli gence and decency of the republic. The danger of sudh policy came near be ing forcibly demonstrated yesterday when one o's the negro guards attempted to order a ‘gentlemen from the car platform in a manner not customary in this section. The gentleman being rather too slow in his movements to suit the iburly negro, nar rowly missed a blow from the latter’s gun, which was warded off by an onlooker. For a time there was serious danger o's a clash, and it was only by the exercise of great patience and caution that a race riot was averted. The effect produced by this epi sode upon some of the negroes who wit nessed it was easily discernible. One of them even declared that ‘‘The colored peo ple are on top at last and are going to get their rights,” alluding to the encounter as well as to the fact that the negro troops were in charge of the white prisoners. The remark caused the negro in question to be caressed with a coupling pin and at least one lesson was presented as an offset to that offered by the government authorities in a section where such things are always fraught with grave danger—to say noth ing of being a gratuitous insult to a most righteous sentiment. SUNDAY SHOOTING As the Result of a Crap Game Took, Place Yesterday. A Sunday crap game resulted in a Sun day shocking yesterday and as a conse quence .Babe Luster is dying and Joe Gid dings is a fugitive from justice. The shooting occurred in 'South IMacon or below the city in the swamp. The two were playing the popular Sunday game when .the fuss got up. A numiber of other negroes'were present ait the time and were witnesses to the ‘tragedy but today it is hard to find a negro who will own up to having been in South .Maicon yesterday. CHAPLAIN WARREN. He Will Serve in That Capacity in the Macon Volunteers. Mr. Louis Warren has been appointed the chaplain for the Macon Volunteers. IMr. Warren intends to enter the minis try next fall, and as Mr. Reese, who is the chaplain of the company, and is also chap lain o.f the Second regiment, will not go under the present arrangement, while he would certainly have gone had the com mand gone as a whole. Captain Hunter this morning appointed Mr. Warren in the place. He will therefore do his duty ‘as chap lani and as a soldier at the same time. WOOD RESIGNS.

One of the most delightful affairs of last week for the younger portion of society was the ipicnic at which little Miss Estelle Stevens entertained a number of her friends. The (party spent a happy day at a picturesque point on the Houston road. Mrs. Smith Picketit left today for At lanta after a pleasant visit to IMacon as the guesit of Mrs. J. F.

Forsyth, of the Sixth cavalry, is in iMacon for the purpose of se curing recruits for the cayalry, ami if he receives sufficient encouragement in the way of recruits, will remain here some time. Lieutenant Forsyth is a Georgian and his regiment, the Sixth 'Cavalry, is one of the most famous in the service. All of the men recruited by him will be put into this regiment. When seen by a News reporter he said he thought this would prove a good loca tion for cavalry recruiting. “No demand has been made upon Geor gia for. cavalry,” he said, “and as there are doubtless a good many cavalrymen who would li'ke to take a hand in the Cuban af fair, perhaps the would like to do so with the regularsr. Good material for cavalry is plentiful in Georgia, and I shall be dis appointed if I do not secure a goodly num ber as recruits here.” The recent army bill, providing for in creasing the strength of the regular army will almost double the cavalry strength, Lieutenant Forsyth stated. From a strength of about 70 they will be increased to about 1,200. The Sixth regiment has room for about six hundred men. There will be no red tape about Lieuten ant Forsyth’s enlistment. He will receive, examine and muster in the men himself and when the recruit gets out of his hands he will be already a member of the United States army. The recruits will be furnish ed with transportation and forwarded to Chickamauga, where the regiment is now located. The requirements of the cavalry service differ somewhat from those of the infantry branch. No man will be accepted of less than five feet four inches or more than five feet ten inches in hight. Weight must be proportioned to bight and not less than 120 or more than 165 pounds. Lieutenant Forsyth is authorized to interpret the re quirements liberally, however, and small veriations from the required measurements will not count against a man who is oth erwise in good condition physically. Young men under eighteen years of age, who can pass the examination, will be taken with the consent of their parents or guardians. Married men will also be accepted by the officer, though this is not usually done ■‘without the consent of the regimental commander. 'FOR RENT Dwelling.
