MOUNT DESALES.
Premiums Given Out in Different Classes
and Grades YsSterday.
The fine reputation of this excellent in
stitution was never better sustained than
on yesterday, when an apreciative audience
gathered in the large hall of the building
to witness the commencement exercises.
When the “Persian March” sounded
forth from the well trained fingers of Miss
es Fartin. Bryan, Gewinner and Kelly, a
seemingly never ending line of fair young
girls and little folks attired in white, filed
into the hall and took the places assigned
them. When all were seated, three little
girls. 'Misses Zink. Newcomb and O’Con
nor. delighted the audience with “Tyro
lienne Variee.” played without notes. A
recitation by Miss Madge Huthnance fol
lowed, spoken in clear, sweet rhythm.
“Mexican Butterfly Dance” came next
on the program, and in it lovers of music
found a rare treat.
Mt. de Sales has reason to be proud of
its mandolin club, as the seven young la
dies constituting it evinced yesterday an
unusual degree of proficiency. Special
mention must be made of Miss Julia Roo
ney’s admirable execution.
Miss O'Connor as piano accompanies!
was admired for the spirited manner in
which she* executed her part, and her per
fect s«lf-possession at the instrument.
Miss 'Mary Rose Rooney’s essay, "An
gels Unawares,” was listened to with
breathless atention. and when the fair
reader concluded, a just meed of applause
was accorded her.
Following Miss Roonev came Miss Mock
with “La Scintillata.” The finished ren
dition of this difficult number proved Miss
Mock to be gifted with a high degree of
musical talent.
A chorus and drill by the wee tots, en
titled “Patty Cake." took the audience by
storm, and was indeed a beautiful feature*
of the exercises.
A piano quartet. '-March from Titus.”
was next well rendered by Misses O'Con
nor. McKenna. Duffy, Verno Loh. Loretta
Newcomb and Claire Foster, called forth
much ethuslasm by their recitations. '
The musical gem of the morning was a
piano solo. “Rhapsodie Hongroise." No.
12. rendered with brilliant effect by Miss
Kate Long. Miss Long has the soul of the
true artist, and as an accomplished pian
ist. reflects credit on her training at Mt.
de Sales.
“Merry June” was a charming chorus
sung by the entire class, and the sweet,
clear voices, in perfect time, ringing out
MACON NEW 3 FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 17 1898.
in glad melody, thrilled the hearts of all
present with joy.
The piano quartet, "William Tell,” play
ed by Long, Murphy, Mock and
Kelly, was a finished effort in every sense
of the word.
A grand march and hoop drill called
forth hig praise.
The smilax wreathed hoops were han
dled dexterously by the young ladies, and
figure after figure followed in quick suc
cession, holding the audience spellbound
with the poetry of motion.
After the awarding of honors and pre
miums, Miss Anie Mock read her vailedic
tory, entitled, "The Necessity of Ideals.”
Miss Mock touched all hearts by the beau
tiful rendition of her theme, there
were few dry eyes in the audience, when
in tremulous tones she bade the final fare
well to Mt. de Sales.
Rev. Father Brislan’s address to the
graduates was full of force and pathos,
wise advice, and gentle admonition. Never
will his impressive words be forgotten by
those who had the pleasure of listening to
him.
Rev. Fathers Merriwether, Gore and
Roydhouse occupied prominent places,
while scattered through the audience
were many of the alumnae, who had come
from other cities to honor the occasion.
'Mt. de Sales has again won well merited
laurels, and our earnest wish is that this
excellent instituion may continue to flour
ish through the patronage of our citizens
and the people of Georgia in general. The
good sisters deserve the high esteem of our
comunity, andc may the next scholasti
year prove even a more briliant success
than this.

LOOKING FOR
A WALK OVER
Army. Officers Do Not Think
Spaniards Will Showl
Much Resistance.
THREE DIFFERENT KINDS
Os Fighters Are to be Met Upon the
Island by Shaffers Army When
It Gets There.
AV ashingon, June 17.—Army officers who
have been reading the recent news from
Cuba are discussing with great confidence
the ptospect of an encounter ot the
United (States troops with those of Spain.
.The superioity manifested by the United
States marines at Guantanamo in fighting
the soldiers of Pando’s army confirms
some opinions that had been lormed upon
reports given by General bee and other
Observers of the Spanish soldiers.
The information of the war department
is that three different classes of fighting
men will be met by the forces of the
United States. The most annoying, and
the least numerous, are the guerillas com
posed almost exclusively ot an outcast
class of blacks, fit tor ipr'ison if they 'have
not just been released to do duty in the
service of the country that released them.
They are not likely to give or to look for
quarter, and may be expected to be guilty
of atrocities to the dead or to prisoners
in battle. They never fight in bodies, but
scatter in the bush and have some craft
of the <woods and the trail.
Another sort of soldier to be looked for
is the volunteer. He is a Cuban attached to
■Spain, and he dislikes the insurgent in
tensely and will fight stubbornly, but with
out great military skill. These are not
looked for in great numbers at the east
end of the island, but in and about Havana
they are numerous and well equipped.
They have better notions of drill than the
regulars, but they are not inclined to get
up early in the morning to fight.
From such information as the army has,
the third class, made up of the Spanish
regulars, will be the most numerous and
the least to be feared. They have not
been well cared for by Spain, they have
no such discipline and drill as the men of
the United States army, they do not know
what it is to march long distances; insuf
ficient food has reduced their ability for
energetic work; they have no hostility to
the Cuban and they will fight because they
cannot choose to do otherwise.
Some of the officers of the army who
have been looking into the conditions of
the United States forces say they will not
be surprised to hear that the subjugation
of the Spaniards in Cuba will turn out to
be very much such a task as the army of
the United States undertook in the Mex
ican iwar, .when the progress towa.rd the
city of Mexico was .scarcely obstructed.
'None of the Spanish soldiers have ever
been in anything like a battle. They have
been beset by small insurgen't bands, when
they couldn’t avoid them and they have
some times discharged their (Mauser rifles
into the brush in the hbpe that there was
something to hi't. The experience of meet
ing with armed forces that will not .run
when attacked will be an entire novelty
to them.
If 500 marines could penetrate five miles
into the enemy’s country with such suc
cess as was met at Guantanamo, army men
and navy men, too, believe that 'the regi
ments of the army will soon demonstrate
their fitness to “do up” 'the Spaniards in
conflict. To the marines the experience
they have been having was new. No't one
in ten of them has ever had anything ex
cept barrack experience, varied by duty
on (board ship in piping times of peace.
The infantry and cavalry of 'the army have
had some fighting experience. They have
learned on the plains seme lessons abou.t
tackling foe.
For many reasons merely suggested here
army officers look for interesting reports
as soon as General Shafter’s men get
ashore and are afforded a chance to use
their Krag-Jorgensen rifles.
“If,” said one of them, “there is any
Spanish force 'to (be found in the open or
in the bush, our infantrymen and dis
mounted cavalry will find and fight them
with good appetite regardless of numbers.
Only those who have come in contact with
the regulars of the plains know angthing
about 'them.
“Unless Blanco and Pando have been
concealing the good qualities of their fight
ing men, and thus have deceived us to lead
us on it is my opinlion that in the first en
gagement our troops will make it plain
that in an open field or even protected by
works, the men of the United States forces
will outmatch them. Our men will prove
so superior that we will wonder very soon
why Shafter wanted as many a« .15,000
troops to capture Santiago and clean out
the east end of the island.”
