There was a fairly good attendance at the meeting of the central committee of the North Carolina Firemen's Tour nament and Greensboro Industrial Ex hibit, at the court house last night. President J. Van Lindley presided, and made a short address, which showed that he is the "right man in the right -place." Talks were also made by Chas. H, Ireland, Mayor Taylor, W. J. Blackburn, R. D. Douglas, H. J. Elam, and others, em phasizing the great importance of every citizen getting down to business in earnest to make the occasion nc t only ore of pleasure to tho visitors, but one of lasting benefit to the city of Greensboro. To c rry out tin plans mapped out by the various committees will require some money, which must be ra'sed by popular subscription. Every man in the city can do fomethlng. It is a Greensboro undertaking. It does not belong to any one man or set of men, and no one mm will alone te the ben eSciary. The great body of citizens interested here should move as oce man with, the idea paramount to all others that Greensboro shall not take a back seat. Every man should feol that he has an individual interest in the matter and contribute accordingly. All eyes are on Greensboro, and Greensboro should dress herself up "lit to look at." Other vital questions have demanded, the time and atteirriTJ"noTrour citizens the past few months; but now thatonly three months remain In which to pre-pa-e for the coming great event, let h? decks be cleared for action. Let action bgin at once. Sidetrack every thing in which our people find t! e slightest cause for division of thouglj o opinion. We all l ve our homes and our home city. We can all unite in an earnest, honest effort to inaugu rate and push forward to-a greater era of industrial activity. The iron is hot, And now is the time to strike. Let everybody strike. RADFORD-MT. AIRY. Proposition to Connect Them By Railway Again Considered. .Yesterday's Roanoke Times con tained a half column article concern ing the proposed construction of a railroad from Mt. Airy, N.C., to Rad ford, Va., a distance of forty miles. Such a road would traverse one of the richest mining districts in the world. Though the Norfolk & Western willjpro bably construct the line it will be due to the efforts of the owners of the big mines and iron furnaces of that region. The cni.ection by rail, of Mt. Airy and Radford, will be the realization of the hopes of the officials of all the railways of northern Carolina and southern Viiginia. It was the burn ing desire of former President Gray, of the old C. F. and Y. V. to extend that line to the coal and iron fields of Virginia, but he died without carrying his plans to success. The No f. Ik & Western tried to reach Mt. Airy but found it impossible to traverse the mountains by the chosen route. If the line is now constructed, it will be of inestimable value to Greensboro. Connecting it with the main line of the Norfolk & Western and giving it al most a direct line with the northwest, it greatly improves her splendid rail way facilities. Further, the large amount of coke brought here to the Empire St. el and Iron Company, from the section around Pocahontas, could then come by a more d'rect route. AT CUILF0RD BATTLE (ROUND. Preparations Being flade For Tbe (irand Celebration on July 4th. Editor Telegram The Battle Ground has about don nd its beautiful garb of spring.

Many reasons will present themselves to the thoughtful reader why this great annual celebration should never be allowed once to fail Jos. M. Morehead. Those' Bachelor dirls. The Bachelor Girl were delightfully entertained yesterday afternoon Ly Miss Mabel Kase, at her Lome on Ar lington street.

SAN FERNANDO OCCUPIED By The Amrican Forces To-day Without Loss, REBEL GENERAL LUNA WOUNDED Brlgadler-Oeneral Funsten.an Amer ican, Also Receives a Slight Wound in the Hand. By Cable to the Telegram Manila, May 5 Derailed reports of the work of Lawton's expedition show that harder fighting took place the early part of this week than earlier accounts indicated. The attack upon San Rafoel by the American forces met with a heavy fire from a large number of rebels corcealed in the jungle on all sides. Only by the adop tion of tactics of Indian fighting in the United States every man for himself saved the division from great loss. Lawton, as usual, was at the head of our line with his staff. The insurgent leaders, Gregorio and Pio Dol Pilos, with eight hundred men in Bali nag, retreated when Lawton approached. Chief Scout Young, with eleven men, entered Balinag a he d of the army and rang the-church bells an nouncing they had taken possession of the city. When Lawton's forces were attacking in force outside of Balinag, women and children w re 64. en in the t.-enc h s. Captain Case and party with a white flag displayed, approached the insurgents and asked that the non-combatants be removed. When within five hundred yards of the trenches our truce-bearers were fired upon. GEM. LUNA WOUNDED. Manila, May 5 Gen. Luna, com manding the Filipino forces opposing McArtbur's advance, was wound- d in tie fighting yesterday in the vicini ty of Santo Tamas. San Fernando, which the rebels boasted was a stronger position than Calumpit, was captured by our troops today. The natives set fire to the city before abandoning it Brigadier General Funston received a slight wound in the hand. INEFFECTUAL DEMONSTRATION. Manila, May 5 The rebels south of ManiU attempted to rush through our lines last night. The attempt failed but the rebels maintained a fusiiade of musketry on the Fourth infantry for several hours. The demonstration"! was ineffectual beyond scaring the in habitants at Malote. The outposts of the Idaho and California regiments beyond San Fernando were also at tacked during the nieht. DRIV' N TO THE MOUNTAINS. Washington, May 5 Otis cables that the value of the subsistence cap tured from Malolos will reach a mil lion and a half dollars. Great results are expected from Lawton's sweeping march northward, and it is confident'y expected by the war department that 6uch insurgents as are driven to the mountains will be co'n-red there and effectually cut off from receiving sup plies. SAN FERNANDO OCCUPIED. Manila, May 5 General McArthur advanced today and occupied San Fernando without loss. MONADNOCK IN ACTION.

C, May 4 The burn ing of General Wade Haxpton's house, at Mil wood,., near Columbia, Tuesday night, excites warm sympa thy throughout the state, anl a con- 'erence has already been held here to take immediate stes towards rebuild ing the burned home. The sentiment of loving regard for General Hamp ton is universal throughout the state, and it app ars that the desire that it shall take practical shape is not con fined to Charleston. One hundred do'lars was raised in Darlington today in a few minutes, for the purpose of rebuilding Hamp ton's home and probably every county in the state will follow Darlington's example in less than a week. AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. It Is Believed That the President Will Convene It In October. Washington, May 4. There is a growing belief among prominent mem bers of Congress that the President will call Congress to .meet in extraor dinary Bcsaion this fall, probably early in October. The questions which will come before tbe next CoBgress for set tlement, including as they do every thing growing out of our possessions acquired as a result of the war with Spain and the general legislation, including that relating to currency reform, the Nicaraguan Canal, merchant marine, etc., are of such great importance that the President is inclined to regard it as advisable that congress should meet earlier than the regular session in December, in order to get the work under way.

SENATOR DANIEL OPPOSES IT Assistant Attorney Qeneral Boyd, Mrs. Capt. Coghlan and Oth ers Visit Wilmington. Special to Th Telegram. Washington, May 5 For the past fevpdays several prominent Virginia democrats nave assembled in wasn ington. Among the leaders are Sena tors Daniel and Martin, and Repre sentatives Lamb, Rixey, Jones, Hay, Swanson, and Epes, besides many lesser lights of the democratic party In the Old Dominion. The presence of these distinguished Virginia leaders in Washington, on tbe eve of the as semblage of the much heralded Rich mond "convention," .which will meet in a few days for the purpose of agi tating a change in the method of nom inating and electing United States sen ators, has naturally given rise to con siderable speculation and gossip. While several of the distinguished democrats, headed by Congressmen Rixey, Jones, and Lamb, who are pro moters of the coming gathering at Richmond, are here for the purpose of pushing the Richmond convention, the chief cause which has brought the two senators and their personal following to Washington is for the object of con sulting with the republican leaders of the state relative to tl e distribution of the supervisors of the census for the state of Virginia. It is understood tha both Senator Martin and Daniel, as well as a num ber of th ir friends in the Virginia delegation, who are opposed to the proposed agitation, will go to Rich mond, and will be in that city during the meeting, but they will, of course, take no part nor have anything to do with the convention. In addition to the senators and rep resentatives, several other distinguish ed Virginians are in the city, among them being Judge Marshall, of Ports mouth; J udge Christian, of Richmond; Judge Quarles, representative-elect, amTuany others.- Several of theVir ginlans will leave Washington for Richmond by Saturday night. It is said that nearly the entire congress ional delegation will be in attendance, al' hough many of them will only go as spectators. Among prominent southern men in Washington is ex-Governor Rufus B. B. Bullock, of Georgia, who is stop ping at the Arlington hotel. The ex Governor says that the condition of Georgia, and other southern states at this time is first-class, and he be lieves that it will continue so for some time. In speaking of political matters the ex-governor says that he believes that there will appear in the south more opposition to the re nomination of Col. Bryan than has been supposed existed. The governor is a republi can, but has many friends in the dem ocratic party. Assistant Attorney General Boyd, of North Carolina, accompanied by Mrs. Coghlan, wife of the commander of the Raleigh, and Mrj Heywood and several other prominent North Caro linians, left last night for Wilmington, where they go to take part in the cele bration incident to the arrival of the Raleigh at that port. Col. Boyd will probably return to Washington early next week. After the celebration at Wilmington the cruiser will gi to Charleston to take part in the Confed erate reunion, arriving there, it is said at the Navy Department, on the morning of the 9th irstant. Judge Quarles, who succeeds Rep resentative Yost in the next Boue, is in the city attending the conference of the Virginia democrats. He says that he is in favor of the election of the United States Senators by the direct vote of the people, but that he will not take any part in the Richmond conference, as he believes that mem bers of congress ehould not indentify themselves with such movements. The Judge believes that the re-election of 4 Senator Martin, by whatever method is adopted, is assured. Among those in attendance from this city at the meeting of the North Caro lina State Dental Association, at Ral eigh is Dr. W. Stuart Carnes. He will be at Raleigh until the latter part of next week. Acting ass'stant Surgeon Frank Roberts, who has been stationed in this city has been transferred to Mar bhall, North Carolina, by the depart ment, to which post he has gone. The Comptroller of the currency re ports his approval of the National Uaion Bank, of Baltimore, as reserve agents for the Atlantic National Bank of Wilmington, North Carolina. New pos to Sices in North Carolina have been established at Brookland, Person county and Propst, Catawba county. Robert L. Harrill has been commis sioned postmaster at Darfer, North Carolina. Mrs. Fannie Caldwell, of Salisbury, R. P. Hollowell, of Elizabeth City and R B. Glenn, of Winston, are among the North Carolina arrivals in Washington. A FIRMLY-WORDED DEMAND Sent by Lord Chamberlain to the Transvaal Government. By Cable to The Telegbam. London, May 5 -The Outlook pub lishes a special from its Capetown cor respondent which states that the Brit ish secretary of state colonies, Cham berlain.has dispatched a firmly-worded demand to the Transvaal government to the effect that it must observe its obligations to the queen as the para mount power, by securing peace and order within the republic. This de mand is supplementary to the demand for a cancellation of the dynamite concession, and is taken to mean that the British government deems the time has come to invite President Kruger to observe the letter as well as the spirit of the London convention. It is not stated how far the demand takes the form of an ultimatum, or if a pe riod has been fixed within which re dress to the grievances of the out landers shall be made. president kruger' s reply. Cape Town, May 5 The reply of President Kruger to the British de mand for a cancellation of the dyna mite concession contends that the con cession was bona fide and constitutes no breach of the London convention. It is added that the amendment to the concession acked by the British gov ernment would be a breach of faith as regards other parties. GREENSBORO HONORED.
