Spanish Commander Cables That the Situation of Affairs in the Philip
pines is Most Grave, and the Insurgents are Determined to Fight the
Americans Before Reinforcements Arrive From the United States.
Madrid, Jan 11 — G**uer**l Rios, the Spanish commander, cables from
Manila reiterating the assertion that the sitna*ion of affairs in tne Philip
pines is most grave.
The rebels, it appears, are concentrating in the neighborhood of Manila
with the intention of attacking that place. Great preparations are being
made for the defense of the city.
The Spanish general also asserts that the natives of the Visayas have
again refused to permit the Americans to land, threatening to resist by
force if an attempt is made to do so. The Americans, therefore, accord
ing to General Rioe, have abindoned the idea of disembarking, and he
confirms a previous statement to the effect that they are unwilling to
bombard Iloilo, “because the European houses are stocked with petroleum
with a view of being set alight by the American shells.”
General Rios also alleges that the rebels are determined to fight the
Americans before reinforcements arrive from the United States.
In conclusion General Rios says Agninaldo’s proclamation has “pro
duced immense enthusiasm among the rebels.”
Washington, Ga., Jan. 11.—[Special]—

the Adams convict camp was shot to
death nine miles from Washington yes
terday while resisting arrest. -
Taylor was sent to that camp from
Athens for larceny. He was with the

Dennard was attacked by half a dozen
[ convicts at the Adams camp and beaten
to death before assistance conld be given
him. The desperate convicts then made
a break for liberty and they got away.
Fonr of them have been recaptured.
Taylor was located by the posse yester-

shot down. One of the escaped con
victs is still at large.

IS NOW UNDER ARREST.
Lieutenant Curry Is From Hampton, Oa., and
Has a Wife and Two Children—He is a
Graduate of the University
of Georgia.
State School Commissioner Glenn will
not have any winter examination of ap
plicants for license to.teach in the public
schools.
The late examination was held in
Jnne, 1898, and since no license is
granted for a period of less than one
year, none of the licenses granted can
expire before Jnne of this year. Com
missioner Glenn has abandoned the
plan of holding winter examinations,
for the reason that in many sections of
the state comfortable quarters of snffl'
cient size to accommodate the applicants
cannot be secnred, and for the farther
reason that in many of the rural conn
ties applicants for license would have to
take long rides over had roads in rough
weather in order to reach the point at
which examinations would be held.
It is necessary, in the nature of the
case, that the examination should be
oompleted in one day, and owing to the
shortness of the winter days many of
the applicants would have to travel con
siderable distances and would be placed
at a disadvantage as a result of'the
harry which would be necessitated by
the shortness of the time which they
conld spend in the examination room.
Since the lowest grade of license
granted is good for a period of one year
the annual summer examination makes
ample provision for every applicant to
undergo the necessary examination in
order to secure a license to teach.
In cases, of special emergency, the law
provides that the local school authorities
of any county may give a special exami
nation upon which a license good only
until the next examination may bo
issued. '

One of the first to offer their services for the

llilrov. Rush County, Ind. He made a good
record, and when the great difficulty was set

To-day Mr. Sefton is 56 years old, a promi

He.was a member of the 38th Ills. Infantry
which was often to the front in close busi

one, and Mr. Sefton’s case was no exception.
“We were in Tennessee, penned in on all
sides. Our‘rations were very scarce,” said
he, “and we had begun to go on ‘quarter al

Defeated McCoy In the Tenth Round of the
Fight.
New York, Jan. 11.—Tom Sharkey,
Mr. William J. Goss, a prominent cit
izen of Harmony Grove, passed away in
New York Tuesday afternoon.
This sad intelligence carried a great
shook to his many friends and relatives
in this section of the state.
Mr. Goss left Harmony Grove a few
days before Christmas to spend a while
in New York. A few days since he
happened to slip while coming down
the steps of his hotel and fell, breaking
one of his limbs, and from this injury
his death occurred on Tnesday evening.
The remains of Mr. Goss were sent to
Harmony Grove, arriving there last
night. They will be interred in Gray
Hill cemetery, by the side of his beloved
wife.
Mr. Goss leaves two dhnghters to
monrn his death, Mrs. Harry Gunnels,
of Montgomery, Ala., and Miss Grace
Goss, of Harmony Grove. He was a
brother of Dr. Isham H. Goes, of this
city.
Than Mr. Goss there was no cleverer
man in Harmony Grove, and his death
has caused a great shock to all his
friends there. He was a big-hearted
generous gentleman, full of the sun
shine of life and fond of making other
people happy. He will be sadly missed
Harmony Grove and wherever he
had an acquaintance.
The remains of Mr. Goss will be in
terred at Harmony Grove, the funeral
occurring this afternoon at the Baptist
ohurch, of which he was a member.
will receive their discharge papers there,
and be permitted to come home any way
they select, either in bodies or singly.
The government will not send them
home, so it is said, but will simply give
t only a little water to drink, and as
the rain was not enough to replenish the
wells or streams, our canteens went empty.
We were hurried on, and the only way to
quench our thirst was to go down on our
hands and knees and drink from the hoof
tracks made by the horses. Of course the
water was muddy and very filthy, but it was
a case of this or die from thirst.
“Some of us were taken sick from the
, , 1 effects of this, and I was one of them. I was

pay, which is given them in lien of fur

When the First and Second New
Jersey regiments were mustered out,
they were sent first to Sea Girt and then
given furloughs of 80 days. Upon their j
return to camp they were paid off and
managed to pull throns
regardless of much suffering and illness.
“From that time I was always afflicted
more or less. My doctor said I had kidney
and stomach trouble, and my heart waa also
affected. As the years went by it seemed
that 1 was growing gradually worse, and my
physician could do nothing to restore my
lost health. Every year during the fall £
would have a severe attack, lasting two or
three months.
About fonr years ago I became much
worse. Our family doctor seemed puzzled,
over my case, and it began to look as if there
was no hope for my recovery, and that the
inevitable end was near.
“ Last November I was advised to try Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. The
physician said that although they were an
excellent medicine, they would do no good
in a case such as mine. But I tried them, and
now am glad I did for I began getting better
.almost at once. Eight boxes, taken according
to directions, cured me. I nsed the last of the
pills about a year ago, and have not been
troubled with mv ailments since.”
The power of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People in the vast number of diseases
due to impure or poisoned blood, has been
demonstrated in thousands of instances as re*
markable as the one related above.
These pills build up the blood by supply
ing its life-giving elements, which nourish
the various organs, stimulating them to ac
tivity in the performance of their functions
and thus drive disease from the system. No
one who is suffering can rightfully neglect this
way to restore health. Physicians and drug-
gistsconsider Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for Pale
People a potent remedy, and large quantities
of the pills are used.

How Fax Can quail Fly'T
A number of sportsmen have been
discussing the question of how far a
qnail can fly. There are a good many
contingencies to be considered in arriv
ing at a definite conclusion of the ques
tion, the whioh ants no inconsiderable
figure in the distance one of these birds
oan fly. If there is a stiff wind blow
ing and the bird’a course is with the
wind, a fall grown qnail conld certain
ly go more than a mile with ease and
doubtless a mnob greater distance.
Those who have noticed qnail trying
to fly across the Missouri river, where
the distance ia abont a mile, recall that
not all the birds make the trip safely.
They usually pick a spot where they
can make a halt on a sand bar in mid
stream, and thus cross the river in two
flights. Bnt sometimes they make the
distanoe at a single flight, and this
seems to be their fall limit under nor
mal conditions, for when they alight
they are completely exhausted..
It is generally believed that on an
average a mile ia abont the limit of the
flight ot a qnail where it is neither fa
vored nor retarded by the wind. It hap
pens very often that in orossing the
Missouri river at a single flight qnail
drop exhausted into the water. . Proba
