ATHLETICS.
Beautiful Prospectus ofLocal Club-Foot
 Ball Among School Boys.

The Birmingham Athletic club yesterday issued very handsomely gotten up pros- pectus of the good work that is being done by the club, and it will be widely dis tributed among the citizens of Birming- ham. It is bound in red and gold cover, is printed on handsome paper and con- tains as fronts piece half-tone en- graying of last seasons basket ball team.
 The prospectus describes in full the workings of the club the large and roomy building in which it is located; the instruc- tion received; the gymnasium and baths; the reading rooms and other social fea- lures of the club, a full account of the basket ball work done by the club last season; hand ball, tennis and other sports indulged in by the members of the club. It also tells of the advantages offered to the ladies' class, and to the boys class. The prospectus is splendid thing, and will doubtless result in much good for the club.
 The annual meeting of the club for the election of officers and for the transaction of other important business will be held early in November. At this meeting local basket ball league will be organized. simi- lar to the one the club had last year. and the first game will probably be played next month. The dates for the boxing tunrna-

Words Deserved.

The theory that 'competition is the life of trade" has been very clearly demon- strated by the Christian Moerlein Brewing company's Birmingham agency The Moer- lein company has had very strong opposi- ton this year that it has not before had to contend with, but notwithstanding this, Manager T. w. O'Byrne reports that his sales have averaged about seven car loads of beer per month over the previous year.
 The brews of the Moerlein corpsE- could not get stronger indorseDent shan the above. The sparkling purity and ;~~ vigorating qualities of these brews, have placed them at the lead in the great Bir- mingham district. They are growing in fa- vor both as refreshing beverages and tonic5 and healthy nutritives for feeble patients. The bottled beer is found by ladies to be gentle stinulant for invigorating their del- icatc systems.
 In addition to the superior merit of the Moerlein brews, the flatterng success of the B 'rmingham agency is largely due the personal popularity and fair. square busi- ness methods of Manager Tom OByrne. He has bean nearly twelve years resident of Birmingham and has steadily grown in popularity, personally, and in business way.
 The agency here is as perfectly appointed with cold storage cellars. etc., as small brewery and the beer is shipped from Cin- cinnati to Birmingham every day in spe- cial refrigerator ars. which nsures that 1t is always fresh. Mr. O'Byrne's telephone number is gi6 w

Argument for tho Bills

"The committee s:8s utilized in every in- stance the departments that exist and rec ommend but one other-the state board. The work of the committee is not a novelty but is a practical effort to get harmony and effectiveness out of the present inchoate system.
 Furthermore, the report recognizes ali the existing agencies of higher education It is constructive at all points, destructive at none.
 'Alabamas urgency for action is the struggle to be redeemed from the abject abasement of ignorance. Since the late ac- ton of Louisiana in providing good sys- tenn of schools, Alabama can be compared favorably only with New Mexico. With this exception every state and territory in the union takes precedence of Alabama in intelligence or in the means of furthering the same.
 'The legisla ators of the state should study this problem well, and it is safe to prophecy that if they study 1t at all the report of the committee of thirty-three will become law."

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July Is, yia
Kingston, Jamaica, July 20. - The
Red Cross society's steamer State Of
Texas, arrived yesterday. and this
morning at daybreak DR.. Elwell, who
was in charge of unloading, secured
eight stores in the heart of the city and
one large barn on the docks, engaged
eight stevedores and began to unload
the steamer. She had l,400 tons of
provisions ON board. The distribution
began at o'clock, allowing pound
and half Of rations to each citizen.
When the unloading began
Scores Of Half Starved Citizens
rushed to the dock, fighting, trampling
one another under foot, breaking open
the cases and stealing the supplies.
Finally picket Of troops was placed
on the wharf, refusing admittance to
any one.
The entire cargo had been landed be.
fore the distribution began. Each ap-

which they are exchanging for our

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Arrange-
ments havo been practically concluded
by the government for the transporta-
tion Of the Spanish prisoners at San.
tiago from Cuba to Spain. The con.
Fact was awarded to the Spanish
Transatlantic company, represented by
]. M. Ceballos g. Go. Of New York.
The company agrees to carry the pris-
oners from Cuban ports to Spain at the
rate of $40 for each enlisted man and
sos for each commissioned officer, sub
sistence to be furnished by the com.
pany on the army basis as provided for
in the governments advertisement for
bids. The award provides also that the
company shall have five ships at San.
tiago in nine days, two in seventeen
days and enough to complete the trans
portation Of the prisoners in twenty.
one days.
At conference at the war depart.
ment Secretary Alger, Quartermaster
General Ludington and Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin considered the bids Of the
several companies, that of the Spanish
Transatlantic company finally being
accepted, as in all respects it was re-
garded as the best made. On the basis
of $4,000 enlisted men and 1000 officers
it will cost the government $545, 900 to
transport the prisoners.
The ships will fly the Spanish colors
and will be manned probably entirely
by Spanish crews. 1t was remarked as
one Of the curious developments of the
war that the United States government
should enter into friendly contract
with company, many of whose YES
sells are auxiliaries to the Spanish navy
and some of which have been captured
or destroyed by the navy Of the United
States.

Admiral sampson's Fleet Orded to Porto

WASHINGTON, July u. - Secretary
Alger said that he expected General
Miles, one brigade of infantry and
some artillery would leave Cuba i'm.
mediately, under convoy Of a strong
naval squadron, for the invasion of
Porto Rico. He expressed the hope
and belief that the troops were already
en- route to Porto Rico. Orders were
sent during the day to Admiral Samp-
son to start at once, with his feet, for
the landing place in Porto Rico, which
had been determined upon by the war
authorities No information could be
obtained at the war department as to
whether the feet had sailed.

The place was reached soon after 10
o'clock. There General Toral intro.
duced General Shafter and the other
American generals to the alcade and
the chief Of police, as well as to the
other municipal authorities. Luncheon
was then served at the palace. The
meal consisted mainly Of rum, wine,
coffee, rice and toasted cheese. This
scant fair occasioned many apologies
upon the part of the. Spaniards, but it
spoke eloquently Of
Their Heroic Resisteuce.
The fruit supply Of the city was abso.
lutely exhausted and the Spanish had
nothing to live on except rice, on
which the soldiers in the trenches Of
Santiago have subsisted for the last IL
days. Since the refugees left and the
surrender of the city was seen to he in.
evitable reign of terror existed.
Business was suspended, stores were
closed and the soldiers were apparently
allowed full license to plunder and
sack at will.
The Spanish soldiers are encamped
In lines ON the reverse side of the hill
on which are our entrenchments.
Many Of them believe, as they have
been told so, that the United States
has purchased the island Of Cuba and
that our government will pay them
their arrears of pay and return them to
Spain. They repudiate the idea that
they have surrendered.

only polite to avoid any open rupture
with the Cubans, provided they can be
kept in leash and not involve the
United States in the disgrace that
would follow the sacking of helpless
communities, but it begins to appear
that for some time to come and even
