CUBAN ARMY IN
DESPERATION
Appeal Made bv Gomez io
People of this Country
to Save Them.
SrARVATION CLOsE Al HAND.
Supplies Have Given Out and They
Will Seize Town in Santa Clara
Unless Helped.
Washington, J3ept. 26.—Telegrams were
received at the Cuban legation last night
from the commissioners who arrived at
Key West, sent to this country by General
Gomez, the insurgent leader. The tele
grams depict the situation in the province
of Santa Clara as most critical. The Cu
ban army is said to be starving. Vegeta
bles arc almost gone and the la&t mules
and horses have been killed to feed the
al<-k. Children and old people are said to
be dying by dozens every day. The gen
eral appeals for aid and says his men are
d« b perate.
The Spanish are doing all they can to
make the insurgent situation more terrible.
It is feared that serious results may arise
from this and the Cubans cannot be
blamed If they are forced to take the nec
essaries of life. This they can do by cap
turing the town, but the Cubans have
pledged themselves not to violate the ar
mistice, and they, therefore, appeal to
United States In order to avoid a conflict.

MACON NEWS MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26 1898.
MACON'S CHANCES
ARE VERY GOOD
For the Encampment of Sol
diers at Camp Price and
Ocmulgee.
CAVALRY ANO INFANTRY
Will Be Here in All Probability-
Some Direct Hints Were iDrop
ped by the Commission.
While of course no one knows anything
about it, there is a very general impres
sion that the chances of Maeon for an en
campment of the soldiers is very good in
deed. From some things that were dropped
during the visit of the commission, it is
thought by those who spoke with the com
missioners, that it was their intention, if
they found the conditions here such as they
expected, to recommend sending one regi
ment of infantry or perhaps two regiments
to Macon and one regiment of cavalry.
After looking over the ground they seemed
to think that Camp Price would make an
ideal encampment for cavalry in the win
ter time on account of the stables and the
other accommodations that are offered free
by the city. There is an ample supply of
water at the park and through the stables,
which are generally in good repair and are
better than the commission has seen any
where else.
The other site that the committee which
met the commission thinks will be selected
for the encampement of the infantry is at
Ocmulgee park, at the terminus of the Ma
con and Indian Spring line. The large
water mains from the pumping stations run
through the proposed site and an ample
supply of water can be secured.
At both of these places the drill grounds
are ample for the drill purposes.
The Ocmulgee park site is a splendid
healthy ground on the heights above the
city, commanding a magnificent view of
the surrounding country. The company of
fers them everything, and as this is incor
porated ground the city will be able to give
them all they want, including the lights
and water.
Whenthe army commission was in the
city looking for a site to locate a camp,
they called for a health record of the city.
City Clerk Smith made out the health
record for ten years back and presented
it to the board and they were very much
pleased with it.
The. table shows the record of deaths for
the past ten years of both white and color
ed and every physician who has seen it
says that it is remarkable. The ratio for
the past ten years has only been 20 per
cent. Following is the table:

The surgeon of the board, Dr. O. Reilly,
said the Maith record of Macon was won
derful and that the city would be a good
iplace for troops. The city has offered to
furnish anything the soldiers may need if
they are sent here. The only thing that is
now lacking seems to be a large drill
ground on which a division of troops
could easily drill.
It is thought that a division of troops
will be sent here as the commission was
well pleased with the sites shown them.
They did not give out what their report
would be, but they strongly intimated that,
they would recommend that troops be sent
here.

An entertainment will be given at the

it has never been coifipleted and it is the

SIGNIFICANT
SUBSCRIPTION.
Drummers of Macon Take
Four Shares of the Navi

The drummers of Macon have subscribed
for four shares of the stock of the Macon
Navigation Company This is one of the
most significant things that has been done
in connection with the movement for the
navigation of the Ocmulgee.
No one knows better than the traveling
men the effect that the river rates will
have on the sales of goods out of Macon,
and one of them, speaking yesterday, said
that in his opinion the business done by
wholesale and jobbing houses of this city
would be doubled with a regular line of
boats on the river and river rates.
He said that the action of the post was
intended to be significant, and that the
people of the city would now realize the
importance of the movement that has been
going on for some time with only scant en
couragement. The same man said that it
ws calculated to revolutionize the tusiness
of the city, and is the greatest thing that
has been undertaken here for many years.

COMFORTABLE
AT CAMP PRICE
First Regiment is the Attrac
tion of the Hour in
Macon.
THOUSANDS IT THE PARK
Yesterday to See the Drill—Regu
lar Routine of Work Goes
on Today.
The First regiment is now comfortably
encamped at Cam-p Price and yesterday
they were the attraction for the Whole
city. Everyone went down to tihe drill in
Che afternoon and the men made a splen
did appearance.
Taken altogether the regiment is in
splendid shape. The men are in good
health and only a very few sdek were
brought home.
Major Garrard, the surgeon of the regi
ment, says that his men have stood the
test as well as any regiment in the ser
vice and that throughout the whole time
of their service the regiment has had a
very fine health record. Major Garrard
has won golden opinions from the men and
from the officers.
A rough estimate of the people who saw
the dress parade at the park yesterday
would be something like 8,000.
Colonel Lawton does not think that the
men will be held in camp more than about
eight days longer and it is possible that
the paymaster may arrive early in this
week. As soon as the regiment is paid off
the furloughs will be granted for thirty
days and according .to the present arrange
ment at the end of that time the men will
be brought back here to be mustered out.
It is probably true that the majority of
the men are anxious to leave the service
but it is equally true that there are many
of them who will ask to be transferred to
the Third regiment.
Under the decision of the department
those who wish for such transfers can get
them without any trouble, especially as
there are many men In the Third regiment
who are anxious to come home.
The regular work of the camp com
menced this morning and will ibe contin
ued until the furloughs are granted.
The reception to the regiment on Satur
day was a great success. All were treated
alike. No difference was made between
the companies and throughout the day the
utmost harmony prevailed. There was no
disturbance of any kind.
As soon as the furloughs are granted the
Macon Volunteers will be entertained by
the other members of the company.
Leaves of absence and passes have been
granted liberally for the last two nights
and the town has again had the appear
ance that was given it during the stay of
Ray’s regiment.
A parade of the streets with the entire
regiment will be given on one day this
week or certainly before’ the men leave on
furlough and the people are looking for
ward to It with pleasure. It will be made
a great occasion and a second reception,
will be given to the whole regiment along
the line of march.
It is possible that some of the officers of
the First regiment who are anxious to re
main in the service will be given an oppor
tunity to transfer to some other volunteer
regiment. A number of them are very
proficient and will be transferred to regi
ments where the officers desire to leave
and there are no applications of capable
men on file to fill the places.
The regimental canteen was opened this
morning and is supplied by the Acme
Brewing Company.
Gus 'McAfee, who has been very ill for
a long time at Camp Poland has been left
behind and is still in a critical condition.
He was a popular member of the Macon
Volunteers and in the city generally and
there is great anxiety about him.
ENTRIES FOR
THE BIG RACES.
Will Close on October First—
What Waterman Says,
It is now almost a certainty that General
Lee will be in Macon during the Carnival
and the latest announcement that he has
decided to bring the Seventh Corps band
with him when he comes; has given great
pleasure to the executive committee of the
Carnival which, while it has arranged for
ample music at all times, will be glad of
the addition of this splendid band. The re
ception to be given to General Lee will be
one of the big things of the Carnival. No
expense will be spared and it is probable
that the feature will draw more people to
Macon than any other one thing.
The entries for the trotting races jyill
close on October Ist. tMr. Morris Water
man says that he expects to have the finest
string of horses that have ever been sent
In from the Southern states. There will,
in all probability, be a hundred and fifty
horses here outside of the runners. Al
ready there are a number of good horses
at the park and the track is being put in
good condition in fact it has always been
in good shape and is now the best mile
track in the -South and one of the best in
the country. When the entries close next
week some idea of what sort of racing may
be expected can be forrfied.
The committee on the Venetian Revel
feature of the Carnival met on Saturday
afternoon and made arrangements for the
carrying out of the idea for which Mayor
Price should be given the full credit. So
far this feature has attracted more atten
tion than anything else and has completely
captured the popular taste. It will be given
on the last night of the Carnival and will
be a fitting climax for the whole thing.
The drummers of the city at a meeting
held on Saturday decided to give tihe Car
nival all the assistance in their power and
from now on will distribute the advertis
ing matter a broadcast.

All the publie schools both of the city

paration for the commencement of work
tomorrow.
(Professor Aibbott says that the schools
are in better condition for the work than
ever before in the history of the system in
'this county. Improvements have been
made in several of the schools, notably at
the Orange street building, and all of the
other buildings are in the best conditiou.
For the next week Professor Abbott will
be kept very busy in the city and County
Superintendent Fitzpatrick will have his
hands full in the country.
The changes in the roll of teachers are
not numerous and es a rule the children
this morning greeted their old teachers in
the different classes.
The fact that the vaccination rule has
been most strictly adhered to gives confi
dence to the parents generally and the
wisdom of the rule is now seen in many
places where It was violently opposed be
