was held yesterday in the province Of
Matanzas, and Crombet and Maceo by
proxies proclaimed a republic. The
proclamation declared that Cuba was
free and independent government,

after the American Declaration Of In
dependence. 1t Is expected that with
in the next week the Cuban govern
ment will ask for recognition from all
governments, and the names Of the
new officers will be announced within
a few days. Maceo will probably be
president. II Juan Gualberto Gomez
can in any way get out of Moro Castle
prison he will hold a high place in the
new government. Maceo made a pro-
clama.ion Of a new government some
days ago, but 1t was not the formal ac-
tion that was taken yesterday.

history. The first constitution Of the
rebellion in 1869 was adopted on April
10, and the first revolutionary club in
the United States was organized April

DECORATED WITH CORN.
That's the Way the Arkansas Exhibit WnI
 Be Fixed Up at Atlanta.

It has been determined by Com missioner Vincenheller to decorate the Arkansas exhibit at the Atlanta exposition with native corn in the shuek, and for that purpose Mr Yin cenheller wants about fifty or sixty bushels of that product.
 In this connection Judge J. W. Bocage has made d suggestion which does credit both to his intelligence and enterprise. His suggestion is for Jefferson county 10 furnish the corn for the purpose desired, as in that manner Jefferson county would obtain q wonderful amount of adver- Using and direct attention would be attracted to her products and re- sources. With a view or obtaining the corn for the above purpose Judge Boeage has written letters to a num- Der of our leading planters asking them to furnish it, and will no doubt receive 3 hearty and prompt compliance.
 It is , stroke of enterprise that deserves attention and we trust the corn will be secured from this county.
 We understand that the State Ag- ricultural Bureau is willing to pay 50 cents per bushel for the corn, and those who have the desired product for sale would do we'll to correspond at once with Judge Bocage.

A SPIDER THAT CAN WRITE.
Its Chicography Very Much Like That of
 aLawyers and Statesmen.

The GRAPHIC yesterday published cated spider at Athens, Ga., that could write. The publication has brought to lighCa local spider of ed- ucatiOn and refinement, which. in order to escape the ruthless icon oelasts of this relentless world, has sought the protection of the Sheriff's office. This morning Deputy Hol- land called the reporters attention to a spider web at the back window on the western side of the Court house, between the Sheriff's office and the County Exposition building, The web is of the usual color, and across the center is a silver strip resembling writing, not very much unlike the chirography of n Pine Bluff lawyer or Congressman. A close examination of the silver strip revealed several letters of the alphabet almost perfectly formed.
 In the center of the web and be- hind the silver lettering the spider stands out in bold relief as if exceed ingly proud of his ingenious execu- tion. The spider is much larger than the average insect, and while he spins silver letters his color has somewhat of golden hue. The silver men of the town take this as an suspicious omen for their cause, while the antis claim that the spider is a fgold bug" but is not absolutely unfavorable to silver.
