Alberto J. Diaz, tho representative of tho Baptists in Cuba, lias been placed under arrest and jailed at Ha vana. It is known that Dr. Diaz is in sym pathy with tho feeling of liberty, and it may bo that unless our government speedily interferes bo will bo made to suffer and the property of the JhiptistH is by no means safe. Tho Spanish government may seize the property. A New York Journal special from Havana, via Key West, says that tho Rev. Dr. Diaz, tho Baptist minister, now in Moro Castle, was taken from homo last Thursday night. His wife and children had retired when tho po lice entered and road the order of ar rest to him, and from that moment ho was not allowed to speak a word to any body except the men who huve him in custody. His brother, Alfred Victo- riano Diaz, also an American citizen, was arrested at the same time. The Rev. Dr. Diaz’s family knew nothing of what had happened. Ho and his brother were taken from the houso so quietly that neither Mrs. Diaz nor tbe children were disturbed. In the morning she was thunderstruck to find that her husbaud and brother- in-law, whom she bad left tbe night before quietly talkiug together, had not slept in the house. MINE WORKERS MEET.

Macon has voted to issue $180,000 of bonds for paving purposes. Tho opposition to bonds foiled to material ize, although it has been extremely bitter. Tho bond ordinance easily carried by the requisite two-thirds vote. Attorney Joe S. Jamos announces that tho Eden Park cotton mills, re cently destoyed by fire at Doliglasville, will bo rebuilt.

Noblo has filed suit in the United States court against the city of Macon for $125,000. Noble is tVo contractor who built Macon’s sow ers, and tho amount of his clnim rep resents tho difference between hiH esti mates and those of tho city engineer. In addition to this amount the city has already paid out about$150,000. The original contract was for $100,000. Alex Carr, tho slayer of Captain H. O. King, at Atlanta, will be given an ther trial based upon tho question of bis sanity. The writ of application for a trial on tho grounds of insanity, which was argued several days ago be fore Ordinary Calhoun, was granted, and tho celebrated criminal will be tried for tho third time boforo an or dinary’s jury. The employes of the Georgia rail road shopH at Augusta have been noti fied tlmt henceforth they would bo on half time. Tho regulation affects all mployes receiving more than $1 a day, about two hundred. An employee is quoted ns saying it must, be on account of a lack of money, as there is no lack of work. It is not stated how long the rule will continue in forco. The now directory of the city of Macon shows by actual count a popu lation in the city and suburbs of 39,- 312; city proper, whites, 14,509; col ored 9,374, total, 23,943. Suburbs, whites, 9,927; colored, 55,472; total, 15,399. Males over twenty-one yenrs old: City proper, whites, 2,173: col ored 1,440; total, 3,019.

Livingston. Tho announcement was not a very great surprise, us it has been understood for some time that he would be in the race. Ho says he will begin an active cunvass at once, and go all over the district. Ho will make speeches in thft severid counties, and says he is confident, of victory. The New Y’ork Mutual Life Insur ance Company lias just increased its Georgia investment fund by the pur chase of .$56,000 worth of the city of Augusta bonds.

He will, howover, har vest a fine crop of oats, and follow the oat crop with a crop of cotton. His neighbors, who Lave been following his example for several years, will likewise reduce the acreacre in diversi fied crops and plant a largo sea island cotton acreago. The exposition buildings at Atlanta are to be sold on May 7th, under tho direction of the trustees of the stock holders, and in a short time after tho sale is accomplished the tall struct ures will bo leveled to the ground and removed by tho purchasers. The sale of the buildings, the price to be paid and other arrangements to be made in tbe near future are all in teresting subjects to the public and to the stockholders of the company in particular, for it is out of tho funds received from the sale of the build ings that a largo amount of tbe money with which to pay off’ the outstanding bonds is expected. It is probable that another session ol the high court will be called by tho governor for the purpose of delivering his decision in the mutter of the con vict lease question. When the court adjourned about six week ago, Gover nor Atkinson staled that lie would take all the evidcnc- and arguments under consideration, make up his decision and call the court, together again to malic tins known. It is witlun the power of tlm governor if the (acts so .'■arrant, either to cancel tlm e •> trnot of tho lessees, to fine any or all of them, or to remove auy officers whoso oon- duot should call for dismissal. * A * Will Moot at Tyboe.

Commissioner of Agriculture R. T. Nesbitt, president of the Southern States Exposition Company, of Geor gia, lias issued an address to the peo ple, calling upon them for support, in the mnlter of collecting a proper dis- 2>lay to be sent on to the Cotton expo sition in Chicago. It is tho purpose of tho president to have all tho counties in tho state act, at once. Tho exposition opens on Ang. 1st, and it will require quick work to collect tho exhibit before that time. In a day or two committees from va rious sections of the state will bo ap pointed to look after the matter of securing funds. The president has en tered into tho work with dotermin<itia to see that Georgia hash good displa; in Chicago. Tho address is signed by Major R. J. Guinn, secretary, and Charles A. Harmon, treasurer. It is as follows: “Acting on authority of a call issued by his exeellonoy, Governor Atkinson, a general convention of prominent; cit izens of Georgia was held in this city April 9ih, at which tho Southern States Exposition Company of Georgia was organized. Its purposo is to aid in attracting immigration and capital to to this state by exhibiting its resources fully at the Southern Stales exposition, to bo held at Chicago during August, September and October. This expo sition will bring the south, its products and its advantages prominently before an audienco of several million people who know almost nothing of them. They do not now know that by reason of mild climate and fertile soil tho south is tho most productive agricul tural section in the United States; that it is richest in natural resources, in timber, coal, iron ami other min erals, and that, it, is tho best possible site for manufacturing in many classes. Tho exposition at Chicago will provo these facts by displaying southern products to millions who would never become aware of them through other channels. The south wants to attract these millions, and it can reach them best by going to them and demonstrat ing, practically on a groat scale,before an immense audience, tho advantages tho south has to offer. “No such demonstration him over been made. It in, in effect, a declara tion that tho south has ceased to bo a commercial vassal; that it will no lon ger pay commercial tribute, nor lan guish supinely, the victim of contract ed industries, with its collossal oppor tunities going to waste. It proudly enters the south in the list of indus trial rivalry. Its novelty, its audacity, its revolt against the bondage of long usage will make the south’s industrial challenge at Chicago a subject of uni versal interest and widespread discus sion. “In a word it will advertise the south far moro extensively and effect ively than Das ever been done by auy other means. Every class in every southern state lias a direct interest iu that; for it will tend to create a great influx of population and capital; it 1 will build cities, factories and rail- ! roads; it will give work and wages to i thousands who are now idle; it will ! double tho value of the farm land,and j increase tho value of their products; i it will give value to now useless for- | lists, utilize mountains ol' coal and I iron, expand every branch of trade, increase railroad truffle enormously and muko bankrupt railroads valua ble. “On behalf of tho great state of Georgia I call upon its citizens to zealously improve'the magnificent op portunity offered them by Chicago's unrivalled generosity. Chicago pays all expenses for buildings and manage ment; the south hus only to provide tho exhibits. “Georgia is one of .the richest and most populous of tho southern states, aud it should not bo excelled by any of its sister states in tho extent and completeness of its display at Chicago. The adjoining states nro entering upon the work of preparation with much enthusiasm and will make magnificent- displays of their resources. Georgia should not bo second to any. “Committees representing every community and business interest of the state have been organized and will have charge of the details in their re spective fields. Their work appeals to the patriotism, the public spirit and the self-interest, of every citizen, and il should have their warm support.” GROSVENOU’S FIGURES. Ills Division of tho Delegates Elected tho Past Week. An Indinnapolis spooial says: Iu nil tho tables sent, out irorn Washington each week by General Grosvenor, tho thirty delegates in Indiana have been placed in tho McKinley column aud 'they have boon concodod to him on all hands, although only twenty-six of them have been elected. It is believed, however, fourteen or fifteen of those votes will never go to McKinloy wheth er tho name of Harrison is brought before tho convention or not,. The men on the delegation who threatened to bolt McKinley uro warm personal udmirers of Harrison and their resont- ment has boon aroused by tho charac ter of the McKinley campaign iu In diana, led by Chairman Gowdy, of the state oommitteo. Mr. Gowdy has de clared that tlm state convention shall instruct for MoICinloy oven if it re quires a bitter light and tho Harrison people accuse him of inspiring certain paragraphs tlmt are appearing in coun try newspapers to the effect that Indi ana would have been for McKinley even bad Harrison been a candidate. Barry Now, one of the delegates, said tlmt, ho saw no reason why a frioud of Harrison might not be tbe consistent friend of McKinley; tlmt these men lmd come to McKinley only after Harrison lmd written his letter, but tlmt if this Hort of cam paign wero continued aud tho ques tions of instructions forcod to an is sue, thoy would tako it upon them selves to demonstrate in the St. Louis convention that Indiana’s first lovo is Harrison, and that a campaign made upon’Hie Iin'e /, oT*"ff8Titftorfitffit of hftn could not bo successful in this state.
