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'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: Annual Yea.r Pop. White. Col’d. Total. Ratio. 1888.. ..22,000 174 300 474 21.05 1889.. ..22,000 192 321 513 23.03 1890.. ..23,000 285 324 609 27.03 1891.. ..24,000 258 313 611 25.04 1892.. ..25,000 221 371' 592 23.01 1893.. ..26.000 180 271 451 17.03 1894.. ..27,000 192 277 469 17.03 1895.. ..28,000 174 332 506 18.00 1596.. ..29,000 228 316 544 18.07 1897.. ..30,000 167 285 452 15.03 2.071 3,150 5,221 Average per 1,000, 20.04. 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. FOR PE r KWITH HOME.

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. Furniture I Furniture!

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.
