GREENSBORO FEMALE COLLEGE.
The New Catalogue Additions to the
Faculty.
The city of Greensboro and Metho
dists throughout North CaroUna have
long had cause to be proud of that
splendid and honored institution
Greensboro Female College. Never,
perhaps, in its history of fifty-one
years of usefulness has this college
been capable of more efficient and
thorough work in all its branches than
at the present time.
An energetic, practical man, Presi
dent Peacock, zealous for the best in
terests of the college, has gathered
about him a faculty of which any in
stitution might well feel proud. They
are specially prepared and peculiarly
adapted to the work assigned to them.
The Telegram acknowledges the re-
reipt of a copy of the new catalogue
for 1897-'98' and announcement for
lS98-'99. It comprise an attractive,
neatly printed and well arranged book
of seventy-nine pages and should be
read and studied by every patron and
friend' of this noble institution. This
catalogue shows a total enrollment of
161 pupils the past year. In the music
department there were 122; art depart
mert, 39; elocution, 54; business
course, 34. The book is replete with
valuable information and any one in
terested can secure a copy by address
ing President Dred Peacock, Greens
boro, N. C.
The faculty for the ensuing year has
undergone a change in four depart
ments and of the new members, princi
pally, we will speak in this article.
The old members are well and favor
ably known and need no words of com
mendation at our hands. Ine new
members are:
REV. T. A. SMOOT, A. B.
The chair of science and philosophy
is to be filled by Rev. T. A.Smoot.
He is not an entire stranger to our
people. While yet a young man, Mr.
Smoot ranks high as'a scholar, pro
found thinker and eloquent preacher.
n securing his sesvices, Greensboro
Female College is to be congratulated.
He is one of North Carolina's bright
est and most promising young men.
He is a native of Iredell county, was
prepared for college at Oak Institute
in that county, entered Trinity in 1891
and graduated with the degree of A.
B. in June 1895. For two years he
was headmaster of Trinity High
school and resigned that position to
to take a special course at Vanderbilt
University. He will fill the chair to
which he has been called ably and ac
ceptably.
MRS. N. F. S HELTON. ,
The department of English Language
and Literature will be in charge of
Mrs. N. F Shelton, of Tennessee
Mrs. Shelton was educated at Nash
ville and is now principal of the Cum
berland (Tenn. ) University Annex
This department, in her charge, will
be kept upto its high standard of ex
cellence.
MISS MARY O. BLACK.
This institution is honored in that
an alumnae of the college is to have
charge of the piano and voice culture
department. Miss Mary O. Black has
received three diplomas from this In
stitution, has had three years expe
rience in graduate work and two years
in teaching. Pupils in this department
are fortunate in thisjselection.
MISS RACHEL SIMS.
Miss Rachel Sims has been selected
for the department of elocution ana
nhvsical culture. She is a native of
K
Durham, N. C, was educated In
Washington, D. C, and later pur
sued her studies in Boston, where she
orandiner the summer. The
work' will not suffer under her care
The school of music is under the di
rection of Prof. J. W. Parker, who is
assisted by a corps of able and N com
netent teachers. Prof. Parker has for
sometime filled this position in the col
leffe and his faithfulness and ability
are recognized. He is capable in ev
erv. resDect and is doing efficient ser-
vice. - - -
The college library is the pride of
President Feacock.who in speaking of
it savs: "We have every history of
the state that has ever been published."
There is no doubt about the fact that
this library contains the best collec
tmn ni information alonff this line in
existence.

MEANING OFTODAH ACTIVITY
Sampson's fleet Off the North
Coast of Cuba,
NOTHING MORE FROM DEWEY.
Warships Off Cap Hay tieo Accused
Spaniards of Cowardice Vice-
President Capote Captured.
While for prudential reasons suffic
iently apparent the war department
declines to make known any intended!
moves advices from the moBt trust
worthy sources indicate that the Inva
sion of Cuba will be made at several
differeat points.
Transports have been provided for
about 30,000 troops at the various
gulf and South .tlantjic ports. Wheth
er Santiago de Cuba will be the ob
jective point pf one of the corps of in
vasion is necessarily conjectural for
the present.
The-force equipped and available
for the invasion is estimated at 20,000
regulars and 13,000 volunteers. This
force is stationed, for the most part,
at Tampa. In addition there is a
force of 40,000 volunteers at Chlcka
mauga ready to move and it is under
stood that this will occupy the points
vacated by the invading column.
Eight of the best equipped regiments
have been ordered from Chickamauga
to Tampa at once. Whether these
regiments will accompany the ex
pedition or take possession of the
camp at Tampa until other volunteer
regiments are prepared to join them is
not known.
It does not appear now that Porto
Rico will be occupied before Cuba as
was stated some days ago. The squad
ron under Cervera being cooped up
and the reserve squadron still at Ca
diz it will be possible for Sampson to
convoy the transports to Cuba and
afterward intercept the Cadiz fleet be
fore it can reach San Juan. -
The report that Schley will force the
entrance to Santiago and attack Cer
vera in the harbor is- perhaps purely
conjectural. Such a course would for
feit the strategic advantage of the
American commander's position. The
alternative course of blocking the
channel would appear the more prob
able. Santiago, however, is the sec
ond city of Cuba in importance and
its reduction may be considered neces
sary to the complete subjection of
Cuba. The possibility that the block-
ading squadron may be scattered by a
a storm allowing Cervera to escape
will doubtless lead to decisive steps to
prevent such an eventuality.
The censorship of news will be more
rigidly enforced until the expeditions
have been landed and in the interim
only meagre reports may be looked
for.
FRIENDLY SENTIMENTS.
By Cable Thb Telbubam.
Paris, May 31 Foreign Minister
Hanotaux, in announcing, the com

again owing to defects in some of the
torpedo boats of his squadron.
KEEPING CABLES HOT.
Kingston, Jamaica, May 31 Com
modore Schley and President McKin-
ley are constantly cabling and impor
tant movements are -hourly expected.
CUBAN VICE-PRESIDENT CAPTURE.
Key West, May 31, ( 10 a. m ) There
seems to be little doubt-that the Span
iards have captured Vice-President
Capote of the Cuban republic. The
vessel in which he embarked accom-
ranied bv his escort has been found
beached at Cape Masi.
Cape Masi is the extreme eastern
AT
point on the Wlndward passage and
I's about 75 miles distant from Mole
St., Nicholas, Hayti, for which point
Vice-President Capote" is supposed to
have been making.
SUCCESSFUL EXPEDITION.
Key West, May 31 The Florida
expedition was a complete success.
Five hundred Cubans were landed and
are now with Garcia. A large quan
tity of arms and ammunition was also
landed. TheSpaniards were complete
ly out-witted.and not a . shot was fired.
The FJorida and her convoy the Osce
ola have returned.
WILL HE WAIT?
Washington, May '31 Every- effort
of the administration is being directed
to the matter of getting orders to
Commodore Schley to postpone the
attack on Santiago and Admiral Cer
vera until Admiral Sampsoa and
troops arrive. It is feared that Schley
will not wait.
PASSING 8T. NICHOLAS.

WHERE SAMPSON IS.
Aboard despatch boat off Cruz del

sou rejoined the fleet here this morn
ing. Officers of the fleet are confident

an attack.
Cruz de Padro is an island off the
north coast of Cuba about 100 miles
east of Havana and- some twenty miles
from the mainland.
THE VESSEL ASHORE.
Boston, May 31 The Boston fruit
company has received a cablegram
stating that its large steamer Belvi
dere is ashore at Cape Masi, eastern

sengers is unknown. Ths company

By Wire to Thk Tsubg&ah.
Washington, May 31 Indiana con
gressmen this morning called on Presi
dent McKinley with a request to ap
point Lew Wallace a major general of
volunteers. In the meeting of the
cabinet this morning it was evident
that the president's policy not to send
an army to begin operations against
Havana before autumn had been
changed and his objections to an im
mediate invasion met and overcome.
Members of congress generally ex
press the opinion that Ha?ana js at
this season a mere pest hole and that
Americans will die faster from disease
than from Spanish bullets.
Ambassador Hay has ' informed the
state department that the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed by the Churchmen's Union, of Eng
land:
Reesolved, that this meeting of lib
eral churchmen extends its fullest
sympathy to the president and citizens
of the United States in their efforts to
secure good government for Cuba and
trusts that in future years the ties of
blood and, brotherhood between Amer
ica and Great Britain will be constant
ly strengthened.

of New York volunteers received or
ders to move to Tampa immediately.

ed to hurry from Tampa to Jackson
ville. The reason for this order is not
given.
YELLOW JOURNALS OR CIGARETTES?
Washington, May 31 Augustus W.
Stowe arrived here this morning. He
announced that he would be inaugu
rated president at 10 o'clock and
would invade Spain immediately. He
was arrested.
MEANS BUSINESS. -
Washington, May 31 An order di
recting eight regiments to go to Tampa
from Chickamauga is construed as
meaning that the government contem
plates the occupation of both Santiago
de Cuba and the province of Porto
Rico without unnecessary delay. The
number of men included in this order
is eight thousand to be composed of
the best troops in the volunteer army.
IS IT PORTO RICO?
Washington, May 31 The impres
sion is growing thai Porto Rico is the
objective point of the invading expe
dition. Jf this -4s the case Sampson
will protect the troops through the
Wind ward .Passage. McKinley is de
termined to occupy Porto Rico before
Spain can sue for peace.
COLONEL APPLETON DENIES.
New York, May. 31 Colonel Apple-
ton of the seventieth New York regi
ment denies-1 that his regiment has
been ordered to the front.
A WRATHY SEA CAPTAIN.
Key West, May 31 Captain Mer
lin, of the. British steamer RestormeL,
captured by the St. Paul and sent to
this port, says that his failure to land
his cargo of coal at Santiago de Cuba
was due to the cowardice of the Span
iards.
The New Company.
The organization of the new company
is progressing as well as could be ex
pec ted, say the men at the head of the
movement. There is some .talk of a
combination with the squad organized
by Simpson Schenck though no defi
nite action has been taken as yet. It is
not thought there will be any difficulty
in having tne company mustered in
despite tbe determination oi tne war
department to recruit the companies
already organized up to 1U4 men in
stead of .organizing new companies
Governor Russell is understood to
have declined to accede to tnis ar
rangement. Julius Price who is inter'
ested in raising the company has gone
to his old home in Virginia to secure
recruits. In regard to the company
being organized by Simpson Schenck
the impression has gone abroad that
Its omcers nave been already elected
This is a mistake. It was the home
guard, company, not the volunteer
company that elected officers. Officers
of the latter are sun to be cnosen.

BOTTOM BROPPED OUT..
A Great Surprise to Those Antici-
pating Advances.
By Wire to Thb Telegram.
Chicago, May 31 The bottom
dropped out of the May wheat deal
this morning. Instead of the price
booming to two dollars per bushel on
the final day of delivery of May con
tracts and before the delivery coulcl be
made at the price which closed Satur
day, one dollar and seventy-fivej it
opened this morning at one dollar and
forty. Fifteen minutes later it was a
dollac and twenty-five. "
It is "a big smash and a great sur
prise to those who were anticipating a
sensational advance. - It indicated the
shorts which were covered through the
private settlements since Saturday
with Leiter. July wheat is seven cents
below Saturday's closing. ,
LEITER' S PROFITS.
Chicago, May 31 Leiter 's profits on
the May- wheat deal is estimated at
seven million dollars.
Court Next Week.

sided in this county. According to
the plan of rotation it will be a long
time before he will visit us again, and
according to the determination of
the voters of the state he will never,
after the expiration of the present
term, have the opportunity of visiting
us again in the capacity of judge.
