ONE HOLIDAY NEXT TERM.
I
Record of the Public Schools Has
Continued to Be Satisfactory-
Rooms Crowded.
The public schools of the city and
county will open again Monday atter a
week’# holidays. The attendance at the
will be almost the same as during
■the past term. No admission cards to new
pupils had been issued today, but it is
very probable that a few more will be
given out tomorrow.
In many of the schools nearly all of the
grade# are crowded and it is almost im
possible for any more children to be taken
in. Superintendent Abbott expresses him
self as being well pleased with the record
of the schools during the past term, which
wa« one of the most successful in the hie
lory of the schools.
The session which begins Monday will
be for six months, only one holiday being
given. This will be on Memorial Day, the
26th of April.
Very few of the children in the # city are
suffering with the grip which seems to
be very prevalent all over the country.
Wesleyan opens Tuesday for a five
months’ session and the teachers at the
college are expecting many new pupils to
entet. A majority of the boarding pupils
returned 'to their homes during the holi
days, but nearly all of them will return.
Wesleyan has had a most successful year
and the coming term promises to eclipse
all other®. •
Mercer al«o opens Tuesday morning,
•with the prospects for a splendid session.
The Macon boys who attend out of’ town
collegia and who have been at home dur
ing the holiday# will leave Monday to take
up their studies. 'Macon is well represent
ed al all of the colleges in the state.

Reports coming from other large cities
say that the horses are suffering from the
grip. It is said that the disease is con
tagious and that many horses are dying
from the effects of it. None has been re
ported in Macon, however, and a canvass
of vhe city shows that the general health
of the horses is good. ,

o'clock the American commissioners, Gen
erals Wade, Clous and Butler, with their
staffs, will leave the Trocha hotel at
Vedado for the palace on horseback and

cort, and they will arrive at the reception
rooms of the palace at 11:45 o'clock, where
they will meet Generals Brooke, Lee and
Ludlow and their staffs and Captain Gen
eral Castellanos, Admiral Monterola, and
i the Spanish evauation commissioners and
: the staffs. They will stand in the throne
i room it having been removed. Castellanos
will, in a few words at noon sharp, turn
over the command to Brooke, and there
will then be a short reception to the out- ■
going and incoming generals and imme- ■
diately afterwards Castellanos will start
for Cavallera wharf escorted by General
Clous. After Castellanos departs, all the
• Americans are expected to pay their re- 1
: spects to General Brooke. The generals
( will then go to the Hotel Inglaterra. One j
' division of Lee’s Seventh corps will in the .
meantime be massed at one end of the <
■Prado, and these troops. 8.000 strong,
; under General Keifer, will march in re-
■ view. Three flags will be officially raised
?at the p.alaee at Morro and Cabanas by

ish artillerymen will use the same guns to
