Forty teachers from various sections of the state were present at the opening ses sion and a large number is expected to arrive today and tomorrow. The teachers are all enthusiastic -and have come to put in a summer of hard study to prepare themselves more fully to teach the colored children of the state.

Washington, July 20 Two days ago General A. W. Greeley, chief signal officer, cabled instructions to his officers in Santiago to seal up and place a guard over the three cable lines connecting Santiago with Cien fuegos, whence, by a land line, com munication is established with Ha vana. Today General Greely was in formed that his orders had been car ried into effect. The closing of the Cienf uegos cables absolutely isolates Havana and Gen eral Blanco from Madrid. Blanco's on'y means of communication with the Madrid government now is by the Key West cable, which is under the strict ship by the government of the United States. As a result of the sealing of the San-tiago-Cienfuegos cables.several cipher dispatches passing between General Blanco and the Spanish government drifted into this country today. It is scarcely necessary to say that they did not reacX their destination..

GARCIA WITHDRAWS HIS AID Angry at Shatter and Will Fight Independently BUSINESS BRISK IN SANTIAGO Spanish Vessels Bound For United States Captures British Steamer. , Mules Delay Transports. By Cable to The Tklbgbam. Santiago, July 21. General Garcia has written a letter to General Shafter in which the Cubaq commander de clares his disgust at the treatment he has received at the hands of the Amer icans, and as a result of the unjust treatment will withdraw his forces to the hills. HeNwill take this step be cause he is no longer willing to sub mit to the, indignities to which he had been subjected. Among the things which General Garcia bases his claims of unfair treat ment is a failure of General Shafter to notify him officially of the capitulation of Santiago. General Garcia is also incensed that no invitation was given to him to be present at the ceremony of the formal surrendering of Santi ago to the Americans. Another griev ance he has of the action of General Shafter in retaining Spanish civil authorities in the administration of governmental functions in Santiago. Because of those reasons General Gar cia declares that he will no longer co operate with the troops under General Shafter, but he, with the Cubans, will act independently, as he did before the advent of the Americans in the island. BUSINESS BRISK IN SANTIAGO. Santiago. July 21 General Shaf- ter's plans contemplate the marching of his entire army northward into the mountains with the view to preserving the health of the troops The cam paign against Holguin, which place is occuppied by ten thousand Spanish troops under General Luque, may be one result of this movement. Santiago is gradually assuming a normal aspect and signs of husiness and activity are evident everywhere. The public market was opened yester day. The city is quiet. The Span iards are well behaved and are mak ing no attempt to cause trouble but are voluntarily assisting the Ameri cans in every way required.. Lieutenant Delehanty, commander of the Suwanee and acting captain of of the port, is removing the mines and torpedoes and other-, obstructions in the harbor. The location of the ob structions being indicated by Spanish officer and engineers. The mines were found to be useless as they were cov ered with marine growth and barna cles. In some of them the explosives were saturated with water. The plun gers on all contact mines were ob structed and rendered useless. A number of valuable charts and signal codes were found on the wreck of the Rein a Mercedes. Lieutenant Wiley left yesterday to receive the surrender of the Spaniards included in the conquered districts The trip will occupy four days and over ten thousand Spaniards will lay down their arms. Spaniards" in the city predict a willing submission. The Spanish vessels that surrendered at the fall of Santiago have started to the United States with prize crews aboard. A number of transports and hospital ship Relief will soon start for the United States. A large number of refugees are being cared for by the Red Cross Society. BRITISH STEAMER CAPTURED. Key West, July 21 The gun boat Mayflower arrived this morning from the blockading fleet at Havana and reports that 6he effected the capture of the British steamer Newfoundland. This vessel was from Nova Scotia and was bound forlhe harbor of Havana with a large cargo of munitions of war and food supplies for GeneraJ Blan co's army and for the merchants in Havana. The prize was sighted off Cienfuegos night before last and was chased by the Mayflower for more than an hour. Finally, however, a solid shot from the gunboat caused the British steam er to heave to. A prize crew from the Mayflower was then placed aboard and the vessel sent to .Charleston. The Mayflower brought into this ebrt a number of Spanish sailors who ad deserted from the Spanish gun boat Aquila. MULES DELAY MATTERS. Washington, July 21 General Wil son commanding the first division of of the first army corps wires the an nouncement of the departure of him self and General Ernest's brigade from Chorleston for Porto Rico via Guan- tanamo. It is also stated that the transport was delayed until today owing to obstinacy of the mules. The. troops consist of Second and Third Wisconsin and sixteenth Pennsyl vania. NOT TO GO TO GOLDSBORO. The Greensboro Fire Companies Will Stay at Home The Reason. "This morning Chief Stone received a telegram from President McNeill, of Fayetteville, stating that the railroads have refused to Carry the apparatus, engines, trucks, horses, etc., free, as has been their custom heretofore. The railroads attribute it all, so we learn, to the railroad commission. This announcement is a severe blow to the firemen, who have been laboring so zealously to make the annual meet ing a success. The fact that most of the firemen are working men, and many of them barely able to pay their own railroad fare, and lose the time, makes the decision seem all the more unjust. . If the railroads were not largely the beneficiaries on such occasions as this nothing whatever could be said. But the railroads always reap the benefits of these annual meetings, as many firemen travel long distancea, and be sides hundreds, we may say. thousands of visitors from different parts of the state always attend. The fire boys are, for the most part, volunteers, give of their time and earnings without stint to equip their departments, and fight fire when the railroads' property is in danger or burning, as gallantly as if it were their Jown htomes. The railroads are often under obligations to volunteer fire departments, and could well afford to contribute this little item, toward making the companies more efficient by aiding them to meet and practice and exchange views in regard to fighting fire; and as a matter of common sense it is no business of the railroad com mission. As the matter now stands, the Greensboro fire department will not attend the meeting at Goldsboro. It is too bad; they have' been hard at work practicing and getting in readi ness for the trip; but the expense of their railroad fare and the loss of the time is as much as they can stand. If this decision is not changed it will go far toward breaking up the annual meeting of the State Firemen's Asso ciation. SPANISH VIEW OF SURRENDER. All the Responsibility Thrown Upon Gen. Toral. Madtid, July 20 A semi-official ote has been published here, explain ing the circumstances from a Spanish standpoint of the surrender of Santi ago de Cuba. It declares that the let ter which General Toral "is alleged to have written to General Shafter,'' is apocryphal, as the telegraph version contains a statement which it is im possible for General Toral to have made, because it is untrue that his government authorized him to capitu late. The notecontinues: " What happened was that the war minister received two telegrams from Captain General Blan co. The first described General Toral' 8 position, which was most pitiful be cause of the want of provisions and ammuniton. It also detailed the en emy's proposals. In the second tel egram Captain General Blanco gave the terms of the capitulation and re quested instructions. The war minis ter replied to both by telling Captain General Blanco to leave every ini tiave to General Toral, for it was im possible to recommend any other line of conduct. General Toral accord ingly acted as he thought advisable, and would explain before a courtmar tial the motives which induced him to capitulate. Baseball Yesterday.
