MEN AND ARMS SURRENDERED
Revolutionary Generals Uribe-Uribe

Forced to Yield.
A special from Panama states that
the revolutionary genera], Uribe-Uribe,
with ten cannon, 2,500 rifle3 and 300,-
000 rounds of ammunition, has sur-'
rendered to General Majarres at Rio
Frio, near Santa Marta.
The revoltitional forces under Gen
eral Uribe-Uribe, which were defeated
October 14 at Laßcinaga, retreated at
Rio Frio and took up positions there.
General Marjarres, with 2,000 men,
proceeded against the rebels from La-

tails of the engagement are lacking,
hut heavy casualties on both side3 are
reported. The surrender of Uribo-
Uribe is said to complete the pacifica
tion of the departments of Magdalena
and Bolivar. The revolutionists now
occupy the isthmus only.
In the fight of October 14, at La-
Cienaga the revolutionary forces con
sisted of 1,300 men.
The government gunboat, General
Pinzon, arrived at Colon Tuesday af
ternoon from S'avanilla, She was es
pecially sent from that port by the gov
ernor of the department of Bolivar to
bring the news of the defeat of the
revolutionists under Uribe-Uribe and
Castilla at Rio Frio. Both these gen
erals were made prisoners.
There is much rejoicing in Colon
and Panama over the success of Gen
eral Marparres; and especially over the
capture of Uribe-Uribe.
Death Slow to Rebels.
Confirmation of the news of the sur
render of General Uribe-Uribe was con
tained In the following dispatch re
ceived at the Colombian legation in
Washington Tuesday night:
“Panama, October 28. —Uribe-Uribe
and Castillo (another revolutionary
general) surrendered at LaCienaga
with a large quantity of arms and am
munition.”
The legation officials declare that
with the surrender of Uribe-Uribe the
life of the rebellion in the interior of
Colombia has received its death blow,
and that the complete pacification of
that portion of the country must inevit
ably follow. He w-as, they say, the
acknowledged leader of the movement
against the government, and by his
energy and perseverance in raising
and equipping troops and securing as
sistance from the outside has kept tRe
the revolution going for several years.

BILL ARP’S LETTER
His Northern Friends Send Him
a Good Text.
CUPPING FROM A NEWPORT PAPER
Bill is Getting Strong Again and Walk3
to Town for the First Time in
Three Long Months,
My northern friend who asked mo to
hold up on the negro and let him go
dead has sent me a clipping from a'
Newport paper and says: Here is a
good text for your next letter. It reads
as follows:
“Newport, October 14. —At a meet
ing of the school committee today,
George Ellis and wife objected to hav
ing their son taught by a colored teach
er and said that if their son was not
admitted to another school where the
teacher was white they would keep
him at home. The committee refused
to change him and ordered the boy to
be arrested as a truant. The father
filed a plea of not guilty and the case
will go to the higher court and be
tested.”
They have compulsory education
there. It seems that this teacher is
the daughter of a preacher, who is the
American consul at St. Thomas. He is
a loyal republican and there is politics
in it, and the lily whites are in the mi
nority. She may he one of the 4GO that
Watterson is troubled about, and so :
will turn over the text to him.
The same mail that brought me the
text brought a letter from my grand
son, who is in the employ of the West-
Inghouse Company, of Pittsburg, and is
an electric engineer and is now put
ting down a plant at Utica. N. Y. He
writes that his contractor had a num
ber of w r hite men employed, but as la

Jones’ folks put on any airs over the
rest of us. I visited them on Sunday
eve and was treated with the most cor
dial hospitality. Their home is a pal
ace and their garden and grounds a
little paradise.
I aim getting strong again and walk
ed to town last week -or the first time
In three months. When I came home
my wife shook her flirt at me and said:
•‘I believe you will outlive me yet.”
From the tone of her voice 1 thought
mayhe she was mad about it.
We have nearly completed the finest
court house in the state. It is in full
view from the window where 1 write,
aai I never get tired of looking at the
beautiful dome that shines like silver
in the sun. “A thing of beauty is a joy
forever.”
Our garden is now adorned with
beautiful roses, and I cut them every
morning and my wife allows me to
send them to the pretty girls—no, 1
mean to the ancient mothers in our
neighborhood. My wife is peculiar
about that. At night i have to help a
pretty lassie with her arithmetic and
algebra and Latin I get stalled some
times, but we generally get through
all right. We have a telephone, and
my daughter, who lives a. mile - fkWAJC
has one. So when her daughter *etp
stalled she telephone's ‘ here and "our
lassie tells her .over (he 'phone-how-to
do it. Sometimes it.tal.ps map- fig
ures, multiplying''ami - ' dividing,'’etc.,
and if there is a nlisUike made of only
one figure near the beginning it runs !
through' to the end and gels bigger
and bigger as it goe3. And so my las
sie is disappointed .because she did
not get the answer. Then Igo ovdr ail
the figures .carefully and find the er
ror, and she has it' to do over again.
Just so it is withdiir habits and con
duct. If a. little, boy-tails •jib? off to-;
rias the habit will >groW on tdnf -amd
by the time'he is grown he will tell
lies. If a boy swaps knives with an
another boy and cheats him, he will
get into a habit of cheating in a trade
and nobody will trust him. When Tom
Benton was for the first time a candi
date for office, it was told on him that
when he was a school boy he stole a
knife from another boy and had to
give it up or take a whipping. And so
he didn’t get elected.My father al
ways said that knife stovy was just a
political lie, hut I have known politic
ians who would steal knives and lie,
too.
I had a most grateful compliment
the other day, and it was as pleasant
as it was unexpected. Tno Dalton
lawyers and the Calhoun lawyers were
here to attend the funeral of Colonel
Harris. After that sad mission was
over they joined with our .local bar
anu our judge and visited me in a
body in my sick’room and did me spe
cial honor. For a while we exchanged
wit and wisdom- and pleasant anec
dotes. I shall not forget their kind
and grateful visit as long as I live —
such things are worth being sick for.
And we had a. baby show yesterday
at my daughter’s home. She has a
fine little boy a year old who is begin
ning to walk and talk. So she gave a
dining to two young mothers, who each
had a girl a year om and they, too,
were learning to.walk. It beat the
Atlanta horse show to see the three
little tots tottering across the room as
merry as larks as they tried to show
off, sometimes colliding and railing
down, then up again and on another
round. It was a pretty sight, and their
mothers were proud and happy. A
young mother is the proudest creature
on earth. She Is always calm and se
rene.—DlLL ARP, in Atlanta Constitu
tion.
