Instructions Sent From War Department to Bring the Regiment
to Camp Price With as Little Delay as Possible,
Pending Mustering Out of Men,
WARM WELCOME
From the People of Macon
When the Boys Come
Marching Home.
MAI BE CARBI FEATURE,
Not at All Improbable that the Boys
Will Be Here While the Great
Carnival is Going On May
or Talks to Governor.
The First Georgia regiment will be en
cumped at Camp Price for an Indefinite
time
Mayor Price received a telegram from
Colon, I Lawton, of the First Georgia regi
ment yesterday afternoon asking if it
would be possible for him to get the use
of the camp grounds at the park .ml for
what length of time. The mayor at once
wired him back that he could get the
grounds for any length of time that he
wished.
No reply had been received from the
colonel this morning, but Mayor Price lias
been in communication with the governor
all the morning in regard to the matter,
but no conclusion was reached. Advices
were received in Macon, however, this
morning that the secretory of war has or
dered Colonel Lawton to bring the First
Georgia regiment to 'Macon at onee. A
telegram was received this morning direct
from the secretary of war stating that he
had ordered the First here.
The war department seems determined
not to muster out the troops tint to send
them to their home camp. The regiment
will in all probability remain here for
thirty days. The regiment will come here
as a whole with all of the twelve compa
nies. The citizens have already gbne to
work to get up an entertainment for them
and they will receive a royal welcome to
Macon by the citizens. Everybody in the
city is going to Join in and the regiment
will be given a big reception.
The regiment will be here during the
■Carnival and will add very much to that
occasion. It is now probable that the
troops will give a big parade and if it does
It will undoubtedly be the most attractive
feature of the Carnival. If the parade Is
given Governor Atkinson will be down to
inspect and review the troops. Camp Price
which has beeu vacant for so long a time
will be occupied onee mor, and the camp
will present a great deal more lively ap
pearance than it did when Ray’s Immunes
were stationed here.
Tlier are 1,100 men in the First Georgia
aud the city will once more be alive wltn
blue coats. It is not all improbable that
the Second Georgia will com, here XU it
is likely that it will go to Atlanta, llow
eter. there is some doubt about the matter
and after all they might be sent here. Ma
con can easily accommodate six n giments
and the people would be glad to have that
many here as it would be of great interest
to the city. The city has requested the
war department to send troops here sev
eral times since the departure of the un
munes and after all the department has
decided to send a regiment to Macon, and
one that the people wanted most.
The regiment is not likely to be mus
tered out until after the final peace nego
tiations have been concluded as there is
some uncertainty as to what may turn up
and there is still a great deal of talk that
war may break out anew. The regiment
will be made as comfortable as possible in
eamp as it is not known bow long it will
have to remain here. The regiment has
gone through many hardships and all of
them are delighted at theprospect of get
ting back heme again. They suffered very
much at Chickamauga and many of the
boys who left here with the regiment will
not be with them on the return. Nearly
every man in the regiment has been sick
and to get back home after going through
with the miseries of camp life will be -a
great treat to the boys.
The Macon people are delighted to know
that the home boys will be stationed here.
The war department has finally recognized
the fact that Camp Price is the healthiest
camp in the United States and that the
health record made here when the im
munes were stationed at Camp Price was
remarkable. The immunes were here for
over two months and out of a thousand
men there was not a single death nor was
any member of the regiment in the hos
pital over three days. The water at the
camp is excellent and the camp ground is
well shaded. Colonel Ray. who has been
in the service many years, said that it was
the most ideal spot for a camp that he had
ever seen and that the government could
not find a better place in the country.
The regiment will probably leave Knox
ville some time Monday and will arrive
here on Tuesday morning. They will come
over the Southern and the train will be run
right up to the gate of the park and the
. regiment will have np trouble in unload
ing'the cars. They will pitch their camp
at once and will remain until they receive
orders to be mustered out. It will be an
nounced later on the exact time that the
1 regiment will arrive here so that all the
citizens of the town may turn out and give
the boys a big send off.
The city will present a lively appearance
i when the First comes. Everytody will be
"* glad to see the boys home and on the day
of their arrival they will be tendered a
big reception.

Company.
Griffin, Ga., Sept. 16. —Lieutenant Codo
j nel Robert L. Berner was presented with

II he members of company L. The company
| is composed mostly of men from Forsyth,

EVACUATION --
OF PORTO RICO
Wil! Commence in a Few Davs
and Then Our Flag Will
Be Raised.
San Juan. Sept. 16.—At the meeting to
day the Spanish evacuation commissioners
ngretd to begin the formal withdrawal of
their lines within 'two days. They will
evacuate Lares, Sensebastlan and Aguadil
la in the northwest part of the island,
withdrawing towards the capital.
Under the armistice they could not with
draw the outposts without permission.
(Detachments of the Eleventh infantry
will occupy this territory and raise the
American flag.
The abandonment of our outposts Will
follow. The Spanish commissioners un
derstand perfectly that the evacuation of
the islands must be in accordance with the
terms of the protocol as soon as the trans
ports Can be procured. Transports from
fever infected ports of Cuba cannot, they
say, be used to convey the troops from
Porto Rico. The troops from Cuba and
(Porto Rico are to be landed at the different
ports of Spain. Spanish authorities here
cannot control the 'transports in this re
spect. They must await the pleasure of
Madrid. Cur commissioners realize the
force of th argument and are willing to
make reasonable concessions.

New York, Sept. 16. —A dispatch from
Manila says the insurgents changed their
plans last night and instead of evactuating
all the suburbs of the city, they have mov
ed from Ermita and Malate to Santua,
where they appear to be concentrating in a
strong force.
It is reported, although not confirmed',
that Aguinaldo has ordered this place to be
held at cost. It is more than likely
that it is a move to dictate. The former
rebel chief, Artacho, who was condemned
to death by Aguinaldo for treachery and
was reprieved and escaped, is leading
15,000 men against Aguinaldo.
Artacho is backed by the priests. A
Jesuit priest had been shot, for persuading
the rebels to desert Aguinaldo’s camp. At
the meeting of the rebel leaders iu Malolos.
The majority will not vote for autonomy
under American protectorate.
All the Spaniards in the northern prov
inces are prisoners. The rebels have seiz
ed the stocks and cash of two large tobacco
estates. The losses are enormous.
The rebel steamer Bulusan was sunk by
a Spanish gunboat at Mar bate. Aguinaldo
denies the shipment of arms from Japan.
The arms were probably shipped by priests
for Artacho.

Washington, Sept. 16. —The following dis
patches were received today from General
Otic:
Manila, Sept. I'6. —Adjutant General. —In
my opinion, based upon the present condi

surgent leaders of the insurgent army are
in an excited triune of mind, but the bet
ter portion are amenable to reason and de
sire to make an approved reputation before
the civilized world.
Manila, Sept. 16 —The insurgents have ac

CAUSING THE HEAT.
Scientists Say Jthat it is a Sun Spot that
Brings It.
London, Sept. 16. —London is having the
hottest Semtembers in thirty years. Thurs
day the thermometer stood at 96 degrees,
and the discomfort was increased by a
dense mist that was so thick on the river
Thames that the steamers had to stop run
ning. With the lack of rain there is the
usual water famine, which causes suffering
in the East End, where the supply of wa -
ter nas been curtailed to three hours daily.
From all over the continent comes re
ports of intense heat. In France the army
maneuvers had to be abandoned on account
of it. The Paris meteorological authori
ties hold that a big sun spot is accountable
for the heat. They say it is six times the
size of the earth, and that a vilolent agi
tation -s progressing on the solar surface.
ENDED HIS WOES.
Suicide in Columbus of a Well Known
Man.
Columbus, Ga., Sept. 16 —Henry Tyler,
a white man. 33 years of age, suicided at
noon yesterday by taking morphine, at a
disreputable house on upper First avenue.
Nine months ago his brother, Enoch Tyler,
was shot to death on the streets. Recently
one of his sisters was sent to the asylum.
He has been greatly worried by his trou
bles, and yesterday morning deliberately
committed suicide, despite all that could
be done to prevent him.
The drug was taken at the* house of
Mary Kimball, a white woman. Fifteen
cents worth of morphine did the work. It
is a coincidence that within the past few
months three suicidal attempts have been
made at this place, and that in each case
15 cent’s worth of morphine was bought
by the would-be suicide.
Tyler was at one time a druggist, but of
late had worked in the roller department
at the Eagle and Phenix mills. He is
survived by his wife and aged father, S. S.
Tyler, and several sisters. He had been
despondent for some time.
ACCIDENT IN ROME.
Young Ladies Thrown from Buggy in a

Dalton, Ga., Sept. 15.—Yesterday after
noon while Misses Allie and Nell Moore

the snafts dropping on his heels and ran
away down Hamilton, the principal busi
ness street. After running two blocks the
carriage struck a box near the curbing
and the ladies were thrown out. Miss Nell
was not hurt except a severe shock and
bruises. Miss Allie struck on her head
and has been unconscious ever since. Phy
sicians are hopeful of her recovery, but say
it is impossible to tell until «he regains
consciousness. as she is suffering from a
evere concussion of the brain. The young
ladies are amt ng our best people, daugh
ters of the late Colonel W. K. Moore, and
are highly connected in Chattanooga and
Atlanta. Miss Allie is a prominent leader
in church and educational circle*.
PRENTISS HUFF
WON HU WALK
He Was Elected King of the
Macon Carnival Bv a
Large Majority.
INTEREST WAS INTENSE
Up to the Last Moment—Talbott
Made a Good Race. But Fell
Behind at the Post.
The polls in the election for the king of
the carnival closed last night at im id night
and Mr. Prentiss Huff was declared the
king by the committee tocanvass the vote
and make the count.
Up to the last moment the interest was
intense. It grew as the hour for the clos
ing of the polls aproached and a considera
ble amount of work was done by the
friende of the two candidates who were in
the lead and who it was supposed would
have the thing between them. All sorts of
rumors were afloat during the evening and
the workers for the leaders were kept busy
guessing as to who might be the dark
horse.
Altogether the Carnival Association has
made a very nice thing out of the election.
The votes, which sold for 5 cents each,
came in very nicely to swell the fund and
no one, it is presumed felt the amount that
individuals spent for their candidate.
’Mr. Eliis Talbott made a nice quiet race
and had he ’been more active might have
run up a much bigger total. He left him
self, however, altogether in the hands of
his friends and they did the work.
The king of the Carnival will lead the
great mystic feature and War and Peace
spectacle which will be held at night. He
will, of course, be accompanied by his gen
tleman in waiting, his household guards
and his equerries. He will be expected to
add very considerably to the grandeur of
the parade, and it is safe to say that he
will not fall short of the expectations.
The Trades 'Display committee added
many new names to the already large list
of merchants who intend to have floats in
the Trades Display Parade yesterday. The
committee has been hard at work and have
made a thorough canvass of the city. They
have been very successful in their work
and they will probably complete it tomor
row.
The race horse people are very busy ar
ranging for the different events which are
to take place here during the Carnival.
Some of the fastest horses in the country
will be here and the public will have the
opportunity of witnessing some of the best
races ever held in the South.
A few days ago it was thougnt that the
game of football between the Macon and
Columbus teams would have to be called
o’* on account of the race horse people
having charge of the grounds on the day
the game was to have been played, but the
matter has been arranged and the two
teams will meet here on Thursday the 13th,
'and the game will be very interesting. The
two teams have met several times and the
honors are about even, each team having
won an equal number of games. The Ma
con boys have been at work for the past
two-weeks and they are getting in splendid
shape. They have some excellent players
among them and will, no doubt, win the
game. It is understood that Columbus also
has a good team and that they have several
old Auburn men with them. The game
will be very interesting.
The preparations for the Carnival Ball
still continue and there is no doubt that
this feature of the Carnival will be the
biggest feature of the week. People from
all parts of the South are coming to Macon
to witness the ball.
WILL MEET AT
ARMORY TONIGHT.
*
For the Purpose of Making
Arrangements for Sol'
diers Reception.
A meeting will be held at the Volun
teers armory tonight to make arrange
ments for the reception of the Macon
members of she First regiment who are
expected to reach Macon on Monday or
Tuesday next.
At this meeting all the members of the
Macon Volunteers will be present—that is
to say those members w’ho are in the city.
Committees will be appointed and the
plans for the reception will be drawn up.
It is the intention of the people of Macon
to give the boys a great welcome home and
if possible the whole regiment will be in
cluded in that welcome.
The Savannah, Brunswick, Albany and
Perry companies will come through Macon
and it is hoped that they will be allowed
to remain here to take part in the demon
stration that will be made on this -occa
sion.
As there is not much time for prepara
tion the work will have to be done quickly
but everyone is so much interested that
the committees will not find much if any
difficulty and will have plenty of willing
hands to help them,

DOCTOR MONK
TO NEW ORLEANS
He Has Had the Offer of the
Leading Church in that
CUy.
WILL mutt! Wifi,
As the Income Is Considerably Lar
ger Than That of His Present
Church in Chattanooga.
A rumor of more than passing interest
to Maconites and one w-hich while''it has
not been confirmed comes from a good
source is to the effect that Dr. Alonzo
Monk, who was for several years the pas
tor of Mulberry Street Methodist church,
has been offered and has accepted the pas
torate of the leading Methodist church at
New Orleans.
Dr. ?' ’ --e up the Macon church to
accept a betur offer at the Centenary
church at Chattanooga. He has been there
for something over a year and during that
time has had a powerful effect upon the
church work of that town.
It is stated that the offer that has now
been made to Dr. Monk is so much better
than his present church that he could
hardly decline it. The salary of the church
is, it is said, over four thousand dollors a
year.
While in Macon Dr. Monk undertook a
crusade against the evils of the city and
was successful in that work, but the great
est work of his pastorate and what showed
his strength was that he so improved the
financial condition of the church and the
church building as to leave in it a lasting
memorial 'to his name. He was one of the
most popular men that has ever occupied
that pulpit and his congregation parted
with him with the greatest regret. His
work in Chattanooga has been marked
with excellent results and his congregation
there as here will watch his future course
with the deepest interest. /
SALTER WAS
DESPONDENT
When He Wrote a Letter
From Santiago to Col.
Nisbet.
A letter received yesterday by Colonel
R. A. <Nisbet from Charlie Salter, formerly
of Macon and a well known character
around town, but who is now with Ray’s
regiment at Santiago, does not speak well
for the comfort of the,men at that point.
Salter uses strong language to describe
the condition of things and says that his
position is no better than that of a mem
ber of the county chaingang. He describes
the camp as no better than a prison.
The regiment is camped in the hills
■about two miles from the» town and the
men are not allowed out of camp he says.
He describes the heat as only two degrees
less than that w b cih might be presumed
as being registered among the Styx.
He says that there are many of the men
sick with no doctors to attend to them.
It is thought, however, that Salter was
pe‘haps unusually depressed at the time
he wrote the letter and that he will by
this time has found his surroundings not
so unbearable as to wish for the interven
tion of death to n ut an end to them.
