GENERAL cAMPos MAY BE RECALLED
Two Towns Besieged By the lnsurgents-Rail- road Pays Maceo'S Assessment
 Spanish Officer Suicides,

Jacksonville, Fla, May 16.-A cable gram to the Times-Union from Key West, Fla, says:
 Private advices to this city from Ha- Yana state that fears are entertained that the republican party will cause trouble in Spain, and the opinion is gen eral that Martinez Campos will leave for Madrid in June. In the event of Campos returning to Spain General Polavieja will come to Havana as captain-general.
 News from Camaguey is meager. There is no doubt of great oppression in that district Many young men of the best families are leaving daily to join the in surgents.
 Co Orisa reported wounded in the bat tie at Camazin, was killed, according to reliable information. The inSurgent leader in this battle was Angel Guerra.
 Bayamo and Manzanllo are besieged by the insurgents. The Spanish troops are in starving condition and unless relieved soon will be competed to sur render.
 On the 1st instant two conveys Of pro- visions, etc, were dispatched into the interior. The one sent overland was that captured by the insurgents. It was valued at $7000. The other arrived at its destination.
 The Holguin and Gibara Railroad com pany at first refused to give the $100.00) demanded by Maceo, but have at last de- cided to give the same. Payment is to be made at the rate of $3000 monthly.
 People in the province of Pinar del Rio are waiting orders from the insurgent chiefs to take up arms against the gov ernment This move is expected mo mentarily.
 A majority of the Spaniards on the island remain neutral, they having been assured that the revolution is not against Spanish people. but against Spanish rule.
 Ramon Esquinado Perez. captain Of the Spanish army, but a Cuban by birth when ordered to duty in Honguin, com mitted suicide rather than fight against his people.

Begins Its Three Days Session at Wylam
 Favorably.
 The Jefferson County Teachers insti- ute began it's three days session last night under very favorable circum- stances. There was good attendance. The exercises began at 7:30 D. m, with prayer by Rev. J. L. Ferguson, after which the addresses of welcome were de- livered by Messrs. s. A. Sartin and Frank Fornier. The responses were made by N M Strickland and A. A. Amason.
 After this followed the enrolment of members and appointment of committees. Superintendent I. w. McAdory next read a paper, "Outline of the Public School System of Alabama"
 The evening exercises closed with a discussion on the subject: What can the country teachers of Jefferson county do to increase the interest and practical benefit of the school room to pupils? ?" This discussion was between MT. J. H. B. Hall and Mrs. M. A. Layet. Others joined in the discussion.
 Todays programme is very interesting and promises to be instructive to all wh0 attend.

4-21-4w

Through the Manual.
 Memphis, Tenn, May 16-This was the sixth day of the interstate drill and encampment and was of special local interest because of the appear ance of the crack company of this city, the Chickasaw Guards, and the Gov ernor's Guards. It is believed that the Chickasaw Guards stand an excellent chance for the first prize of 5000 and the Galveston cup, which the National Fenoibles of Washington, D. C., now hold.
 The weather was very cold today, and the attendance did not exceed 4000. In addition to the Memphis companies that drilled today, the Thurston Rifles of Omaha also competed in class B, and the work of Captain Scharf was highly cretlitable.
 Tomorrow will be the big day, when the National Guards drill.
 The National Fencibles will strive to secure the championship of the United States again, and Captain Domer and his men are quite confident. The Sealey Rifles of Galveston will also compete in the same class, and many are betting that they will win. The Morton Cadets, also of Washington. D. C., will endeavor to take the championship themselves, ,an if their work is as good as done by them heretofore the youngsters will not fall far short from teaching their ambition. The Thurston Rifles will also drill in Class A.
 Saturday will be Confederate Day, and several companies of veterans will conn pete for the prize in the Hardee class.

THE DOGS GOT HIM.
A BgrgIarous Negro Run to Earth By the County Dogs-SeyeraI Charges
 Against Him.

Deputy Sheriff Roebuck had a long chase with his dogs yesterday after negro, whom he captured at Coalburg.
 At an early hour yesterday morning Harper Nicholson's house at North Bir mingham was entered and his pistol coat, vest and other articles stolen. Nicholson discovered the robbery and started out to notify the officers He had gone only about 100 yards when he met Rufus Holmes, negro who halted him. The negro drew from his pocket Nicholson's pistol and commanded the latter to run. The command was obeyed.
 Nicholson went on to Deputy Sheriff RoebuckS house and informed him of the occurrence and the latter took the county dogs and put them on the trail of the negro. From there they tracked him to Coalburg, at which place he was over taken and arrested.
 There it was learned that Deputy Sheriff A. T. Woods had two warrants for Holmes, one for vagrancy and one for assault with intent to murder
 The charge of assault with intent to murder was preferred against him for an assault he committed on a negro woman. He had been living with the woman. it seems, and, tiring of her. had ordered her to leave that vicinity. She declined to do so, and on finding her at home on his return last Friday night, it is said he got rope with which he said he intended hanging her. Deputy Sheriff Woods had been sent for and came upon them in time to save the woman. Holmes ran off, and as he did so the officer shot at him, but failed to hit him.
 Two warrants were sworn out against him in Justice Benners' court yesterday, one for carrying a concealed pistol and the other for burglary.
