zARRAGA's SURRENDER.
He Says Cuban Victory Would Bring
Chaos and Negro Rule.

Havana, April 21.-The well known in
surgent leader, Julian Zarraga, who sur
rendered with five of his followers, to the
Spanish authorities in Pinar del Rio on
April 16, has made request to be sent to
Spain. He has admitted to Gen. Inclan
that he has personally dynamited trains
in the province of Pinar del Rio and says
he surrendered because he considers the
insurgent cause to be lost. Zarraga
added that the independence of Cuba
would mean chaos and final catastrophe
for the island under complete negro de-
nomination.
5sarraga is an anneXationaist. He
claims that the insurgents in Pinar del
Rio have been dispersed, every leader act
ing on his own account and all wishing to
command.
Zarraga's frank admissions and state
ments have won considerable sympathy
for him among the Spaniards.

Athens. Ca, April ala petition is be-
ing circulated by the college boys asking
that Lovejoy and Matthews to play again
on the varsity base ball team. II also
states that the signers disagree with and
repudate the action Of the athletic coun-
ell in the passage Of the resolutions
against certain members OF the team. This
was signed by seventy-ive students this
afternoon and will be signed by more to-
morrow. 1t Is more than probable that
Lovejoy and Matthews will play to-mor-
row afternoon. They feel that they have
been treated badly and were unwilling to
be made examples OF. They admit that
in the excitement Of the game, they may
have played wrong, but that 1t did not
warrant the council In declaring them
guilty of dishonorable actions The team
will get together again and try to defeat
everybody iley play.

Handy With HIS Knife.

Last Monday Il difficulty occurred
on Main Street, in front of Harris
sou and Gillespie Bros Store, be.
tween Jno. Henry Smith (betler
known as John Hen'') and Price
Donnelly, in which the latter was
stabbed though not seriously, The
difficulty arose from some trivial
cause. John Hen is in Jail. And
this leads us to remark, that there is
II crowd Of boys constantly loafing
near this corner who are continually
slapping each other, or striking with
sticks or boards, and even wrestling,
so as to make, it not only unpleasant
to pass that corner, but such con
duet nearly always results in trouble.
In some such way as this the trouble
occurred between Price and John
Hen, We believe an order was pas
sed by the Council some time ago
forbidding such loafing, but if so
the order has never been enforced
