Thu long expected clash of arms Is under wuy. It sent a thrill through official circles from tho highest to the lowest. Alg» r was the first to read It. He passed It .to Corbin, the adjutant- general, and directed him to take it directly to the white house. Gen. Corbin went to the president, car rying the dispatch, lie was back shortly and then a bulletin was posted giving the dispatch verbatim. Untli then only the higher officials had known that tho decisive hour was at hand. The news spread through th. corridors a wave of awe-like agitation and expect fincy took hold of every one.

Duffield, participating in th? engagement. As the secretary started to the cabinet meeting he spoke with satisfaction that •ufficient time had elapsed to permit Gen. Shafter to g< the army well concentrated at the front and thrown in good battle formation. The secretary felt that our forces were on the aggivsive and the mere fact that an action is going on showed that Shafter had hided his time and was ready to strike the blow.

Fourth United States in fantry and Twenty-fifth United States in fantry. Thin! brigade, commanded by Brig.- Gen. Chaffe of tin United States infantry; Twelfth United States infantry, and Sev enteenth United States infantry.

ARRANGEMENTS ALL MADE To Star Next Season With Warde and James but Physicians Forbid. New York, July 1. —The Journal and Advertiser prints the following: The stage has lost Mme. Rhea forever. The famous tragedienne says so herself in a letter which has jus.t been received in this city. Mme. Rhea sailed for Paris six weks ago and the ocean voyage developed a malady of which she had been a victim for ■ ago tut v»kiz removed from the apartments of a fri. 1 Grand hotel Paris, to her chateau at Montmorency, France. Eminent physi cians were summoned to her bedside and they declared that her complaint was in curable. “My doctors impose the utmost quiet ness and rest,” z says Mme. Rhea in her letter, “and absolutely forbid my even thinking of playing next season. In fact, I can say that I will never act again.” Mme. Rhea was to have starred in con junction with Louis James and Frederick September. The star triumvirate will nev ertheless be a reality, as Mgrs. Wi hals and Kemper late last night engaged Katherine Kidder of “Sans-Gene” fame, to fill the gap. Rhea was educated in a convent and be gan her stage life in Paris twenty-four years ago. One day when she was 15 years of age she attended a reception at which she met the great German actor, Fechter, who told her that she looked just like Ra chael. She was so ignorant of stage life that she had never thought okhgw she had never heard of that celebrated actress. Fechter asked her why she did not go on the stage. She replied that she had never thought of doing so. When she got home that night she found that she could not get Fechter’s remarks out of her could not get Fechter’s remarks out of her mind. The next day the little girl of the convent was thoroughly stage struck. A week later she made her stage debut in Paris and scored a an instantaneous and sympathetic hit. She came to the United States in 1883, and has remained here ever since. Rhea’s favorite role is Ophelia. CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION. Expected that Peesident Will Issue Order in a Few Days.

At Morro two maxim Nordenfeldt rapid fire guns of 75 MIM. taken from the Terror and brought on board one of Cervera’s ships. The Punta Gorda battery in the harbor has two compressed bronze, 15 CM calibre, one Horatio of 16 CM and another gun going off after she had cleared the line. It when the informant left Santiago the gun_ was already on the lighter to be taken to Punta Gorda. The gun was observed from the New York being backed up the hill to the Punta Gorda battery. Beside these guns- there are at all the batteries some old muzzle loading guns. There are two material stations for torpedoes at the Socapa and one at the Estrella, besides besides one at Cayo Smith. These stations conected with two lines of torpedoes. The line in the channel had seven torpedoes, of which one was fired at the Merrimac when she was sunk in the channel.

All the mer chants in town have promised to to make their places of business look gay. The electric cars will all be decorated in red, white and blue. A majority of the private residences will wear a gala ap pearance and Macon will present .a gay ■appearance to all visitors. The committee is working very hard to perfect arrangements for the Fourth. A pie biting match has been arranged. About one thousand pies will be placed in front of the grandstand and anyone who wishes to enter the contest can do so. The person taking the largest bite of a piece of pie wins the prize of $5.

Atub race on the river is being arranged and this will prove to be another inter esting feature. A competitive drill between three of the companies now In camp at the park will be held. No prize will be offered for this event, but it will be hotly contested any way. The baseball game between Macon and ■Fort Valley promises to be one of the best games ever seen here, as both teams are crackerjacks. , The railroads will bring in large crowds from poitns around the city. The admission to the park on the Fourth will be 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. These rates are very cheap con sidering the expense the committee has gone to in providing an interesting pro gram. The Fourth this year will be the great est ever held in Macon. J. T. CALLAWAY, SR.

Professor Pollock, of Mercer University, is unable to be present at the meeting, and his place was taken by professor Jerre Pound, of Barnesville. The first session of the convention was held yesterday morning.

The paper was sound and sensible and was discused at length by a number of del egates. Professor G. A. Nully brought out a storm of opposition to a position taken by him in the course of this discussion. He took the position that the farmers of the state could not allow their children to attend the schools for the full term as at present called for and advocated a three months’ term in all the country schools during the summer months the teachers to be elected from the colleges of the state. As soon as Professor Nunnally had ta ken his seat there was a clamor for recog nition, every man there wanting to get a lick at the doctor who had taken so radical ■a stand. Professor Lawton Evans, of Richmond county, secured the floor and devoted some time to a scarification of the reverend doc tor from LaGrange, whose position was not at all popular with the teachers pres ent. President George Sale, of the Atlanta University, read a most excellent paper on the education of the negro. 'An interesting report of the committee :m the sta >• reading circle wis Ulered by Pres ven. Steward, of Dahl .’cg\. resident appoln'sd the following commit':? on legislation: 'D. Q.
