some REMARKABLE FACTS.
The Seaport: of the United States Can Be
Captured at an Expense of About
8250,000—Justice as It Is Un- '
degatood on the Island.
HAVANA, Nov. 24.-—.l fistice, as that 1 arm
is understood in England and Amerit i", is
absolutely unknown in Cuba under martial
law.
Many of the decisions are so absurd, in
addition to being unjust, that they would
seem to be made by children. The process
of reasoning is essentially infantile. An
adult Hottentot would display more wis-
dom.
If a person in Havana receives a letter
expressing sympathy'with the insurgent
cause, the recipient of the letter is branded
as a suspect and punished. It matters not
that he disagrees radically with his corre.
spondent or thathe is powerless to pre-
vent persons writing lettersto him. The
fact that the letter is written is regarded
as prima facie evidence of the disloyalty of
the person to whom it is addressed.
With a viewto deceiving the residents of
Havana and the newspaper correspondents
stationed there, all {the sick and wounded
brought from the field are landed at Rigla,
on the opposite side of the bay, and placed
in sugar storehouses, which have been
turned into hospitals. The subterfuge fails
to deceive even the feeble minded. .
The majority of the Spanish ofilcers in
this city refuse to believe that any person
is unable to speak or understand the Span-
ish tongue. Many indignities are heaped
upon prisoners unable to communicate in
any language but English, with a stupid
idea of overcoming their obduracy.
Mental incapacity is. no protection
against Spanish brutality. A half witted
peasant, crippled and for years known as
a harmless unfortunate, was recently fiog-
ged into insensibility for grinning at an
officer. .
General Weyler has the largest bodyguard
ever known in the history of War. In the
hills of Pinar del Rio he is now the center
of a cordon of 6,000 men, whose duty it is
to care for his personal safety. ‘
The official estimate of the number of
men under the command of Macco is 4,000
men; of Weyler, who is besieging him, 62,-
000 men. These are the figures given out
at the palace and published in The Gaceta
Oficial, and with this force nothing has as
yet been accomplished.
Truth Must Not Be Told.
No truthful account of ’an engagement
has been published by any Havana news-
paper since the insurrection began, nearly
two years ago. To tell the truth is sedi-
tion, punishable by transportation to one
of the penal colonies in Africa.
There is not as much knowledge of med-
ical science and sanitary requirements
among the immense corps of Spanish sur—
geons in Havana as there is possessed by
the physicians of King Menelek in Abys-
sinia. Contagious diseases are not isolat-
ed. In all the hospitals wherc‘wounded
low fever patients are in beds adjoining
injured men who are otherwise healthy.

or population. _ '
The command of a firing squaddetailed
to shoot prisoners of war is an honor eager-
ly sought; by Spanish officers. When more
than three prisoners are to be shot at one
time, the squad is secretly ordered to leave
one of the condemned unhurt or slightly
wounded. ‘ This is to afford the command-
ing ofliwr the pleasure of administering
the cOup de grace himself.
The proprietor of a cafe was arrested
about ten days ago for having in his estab-
lishment an Ame can newspaper contain-
ing an article offensive to Spain. The pa-
per had been brought in by a customer and
left on a table. The landlord, unable to
read or speak English; did not know it
was there, but he was confined for five
days and was then released after paying a
heavy fine. {Meantime his cafe had been
closed. .
An anti-American society has been
formed in Havana. Its object is to com-
pel the submission of the United States,
which the members believe can be accom-
plished ' with $250,000 or $300,000. The
plan is to capture all the cities on the At-
lantic seaboard, beginning with New
York, and force them topay tribute. This,
the society believes, could be accomplished
without any great difficulty. Eighty-five
dollars already heads the subscription list.
The insurgents have dynamited an ex—
ploring train near Cardenas, province of
Matanzas, derailing the engine, upsetting
and burning the cars. A passenger train
which followed it was fired upon, and, al-
though the passengers threw themsel «es
upon the floor, a lady and five men, gen-
darmes and firemen, were wounded.

A GREAT DAY AT BLENHEIM.
Features I! the Visit of the Future King
0? England' to the Marlborougha
Which Make It of More Than
Ordinary Significance.
WOODSTOCK, England, Nov. 24. —- In
honor of the visit of the Prince of Wales to
the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough,
Woodstock and Blenheim were en fete to-
day.
The decorations were most elaborate and
universal. The railroad station here was
made brilliant with scarlet and gold cano-
pies,flags and colored lamps, and the streets
leading to Blenheim park gate were lined
with Venetian masts, festooned with col-
cred lamps and innumerable flags.
The stars and stripes sewed to union
jacks were seen, and. everywhere were
loyal,welcoming mottoes, triumphal arches
covered with foliage, hunting in profusion,
lamps of all colors and Prince of Wales
feathers in abundance. ,
The palace was thoroughly refurnished,
and there were much new furniture, hang-
ings, ornaments and art treasu‘s, includ-
ing Carolus Duran’s full length portrait
of the+Duchess of Marlborough, formerly
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, which was
hanging in the first state salon.
In addition, all the lackeys wore new
liveries, there was a wealth of chrysanthe-
mums throughout the palace, and the
Marlborough arms blazed frdm every con-
venient spot. .. ,
The most elaborate arrangements have
been made for shooting parties throughout
the week. There will be state dinners
every night, and a string band of 50 per-
formers will furnish music during these
repasts.
Perkins, the organist of the town hall of
Birmingham, will play the great organ in
the long library on Thursday upon the oc-
casion of the festivities for the people of
the vicinity, who are expected by the thou-
sands.
There will be a great torchlight proces-
sion of 1,000'laborers of Blenheim, a dis-
play of fireworks surpassing everything
seen outside of the Crystal palace, two
enormous bonfires will be lighted at the
statue of the great Duke of Marlborough,
and the procession will march from the
statue past. the palace.
This will be followed by an illuminated
bicycle parade, in which Mr. A. J. Bal-
four, the Conservative leader in the house
of commons and first lord of the treasury,
is greatly interested.
From the statue the procession will pass
around the oval facing the north front of
the palace, where it will be received by the
Prince of Wales.
On Friday there will be a concert and re-
ception at which the glee singers from
Oxford college chapels will sing at the
Prince of Wales’ request.
Significance of the Event.
Blenheim castle was the scene today of
as socially exalted. a house party as the
recent annals of England’s most exclusive
society can show. ,
It is, in fact, by no means a frequent oc-
currence that both the Prince and Princess
of Wales, together with married and un-
married members Of the royal family, are
guests of the nobility at the same time.
In the case of the prince being a guest,
the honor is a great one for the host; but
it is in no manner proportionately so in
comparison with the presence of the prin-
cess and one or more of her daughters.
The prince is a man of the world, a
sportsman and a personage who looks upon
society from a broad gauge standpoint, so
that while: his presence is a royal honor, it
does not stamp the host or hostess with the
“hallmark” of the highest social exclu-
siveness.
When the princess . accompanies the
prince, however, it is an honor than which
there can be‘ but one :ggeater in the eyes of
Englishmen, and that 1511 visit from the
queen herself. '
The other members of the house party
include, in addition to the Prince and
Princess of Wales, Princess Victoriaiof
Wales, their only unmarried daughter;
their married daughter, Princess Charles
of Denmark and her royal husband; the
Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry
and their daughter, Lady Helen Stuart;
Lord and Lady Gotsford, Lord and Lady
Curzon, Lady Randolph Churchill, Lady
Lillian Churchill, Sir Samuel a (1 Lady
Sophia Scott, Lord Cheste old, Mr.
and Mrs. Grenfel, the Right Hon.
George Curzon and Mrs. Curzon, who was
Miss Leiter of Chicago; the Right Hon.
Arthur Balfour, leader of the Conserva-
tives in the house of commons, and the
Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, M. P., presi-
dent of the board of agriculture.
The preparations for the week have been
very elaborate, and while the programme
will be in a measure modified, owing to
the recent death of the duchess’ grand-
mother, Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt, there
will be 'gayety and merrymaking every
day until Saturday, the day fixed for the
party to break up.
Abandoned Pleasures.
The most important item of the week’s
gayety that has been. given up on account
of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s death is the “county
ball,” which was to have wound up the
entertaining on Friday night. In place of
this there will be a reception and concert
for those who had been invited to the ball.
The entire countryside is- in a. fever of
excitement over the series of day and even—
ing fetcs which the young nobleman and
his American bride have planned in honor
of their royal guests.
On all' sides there were evidences that
Blenheim awakened into new life, and the
flag of the Marlboroughs, floating over the ‘
chief gate of the palace, waved proudly in
the breeze.
The royal special train arrived here at
6:40 p. In. and was met by the Duke of
Marlborough, who was in .Waiting on the
platform. Outside the railroad station a
dense crowd of people was gathered.
The Prince of Wales was the first to
alight from the train. He was followed
by the Princess of Wales, Prince and Prin-
cess Charles of Denmark and Princess Vic-
toria of Wales. The most cordial greetings
were exchanged between the host and
his guests, after which the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of Marlborough led
the procession from the depot, whence they
Were driven to the castle.

President Schurman on the Abolition of
the Students' Council. .
ITHACA, N. Y., Nov. 23.—In view Of the
reports to the effect that Cornell universi-
ty has abolished the students’ council,
,. which heretofore has been charged with
the maintenance of good order in the uni-
varsity,
night:
“Recent legislation dividing the uni-
versity into colleges governed by inde-
pendent faculties operatesto suspend the
functions of the students’ council. It is
simply in abeyance. The old council was
constituted by an agreement between the
students and the general faculty. It now
rests with each college whether or not to
accord jurisdiction to the students’. coun-
cil. We dislike to take the initiative in
instituting new councils, as we think the
proposition ought to come from the stu-
dents. If Mr. Blodgett, who was recently
discharged for participation in a milking
scrape, had applied to the College of Civil
Engineering for a hearing before the stu-
dents’ council, his request would probably
have been granted. .
“However, I wish to state that Cornell
will remain a self governing institution.
Just what system will be arranged I can-
not say now. We may have a sort of refer-
endum or leave questions of expulsion or
dismissal to a body composed of class presi-
dents. One' thing is certain, we intend to
prevent further breaches of discipline, and,
I might say, other cases than the one cited
above are under consideration.”
It is stated that the upper class men will
hold a meeting shortly to take action, as
many hold that the faculty has broken its
agreement with the students and unwar-
rantedly a sumed jurisdiction over these
gases of at eipline, which arose as a result
of strife for underOlass supremacy.
THE FOOTBALL GAMES.
Princeton's Great Victory Over Yale—Har-
vard Tails the Big Four. .
NEW YORK, Nov. 23. — The football
game between Princeton and Yale was
perhaps the fiercest ever witnessed on Man-
hattan field and was attended by 25,000
persons. For the diet time since 1893 and
for the fourth time since 1883 a representa4
tive team from the Tigers' chllege defeated
the sons of Eli. The score Was 24, to 6,
and when it is added that Yale’s 6 points
were scored on a fluke the stdi'y has been
told, for never frOm the beginning of the
game till its end were the men from New
Haven able to cope with their sturdy an-
tagonists.
‘The Yale eleven was clearly outplayed
at every point of football. They did not
kick as well, push as well or run as well
as the Tigers, and in their. defensive play
weakness was their principal feature. On
the other hand, the members of the Prince-
ton team covered themselves with glory
and never for an instant did they stop
playing the hard game with which they
commenced. Princeton's game was the
best put up by any team from old Nassau
since the famous 1893 team beat Yale.
Harvard at the Bottom.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.—The game be-
tween Harvard and Pennsylvania was won
by Pennsylvania by the close score of 8 to
6, after one of the hardest fights ever con-
tested on the gridiron, the teams being an
even match. Harvard’s defeat sends her
to the bottom of the list in the big four
combination.

M’KINLBY’S INAUGUBATION.
Nothing Will Be Decided Until Chairman
‘ Hanna Goes to Washington.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 23.—Chairman Han.
no said last night regarding a dispatch
from Washington giving arrangements for
the inauguration of President Elect. Mc-
Kinley that nothing had yet been decided.
“Nothing will be decided,” he said. “un-
til I go to Washington, which will be in
about a week. ”
‘ ‘Have you’not overstepped your prerog-
ative as chairman of the national commit-
tee in deciding to assume full charge of
the inaugural ceremonies at Washington?"
Mr. Hanna was asked. -
He replied: “It was the general senti-
ment of the national committee that the
affair should be left in my hands. I hope
tb make the event a national affair, and,
what is more, I will take a distinct pride
in the showing that will be made by Ohio.
This is a matter of state pride, and I be-
lieve Ohio Republicans will back me up‘.”
Chairman Hanna also gave an emphatic
denial of the alleged interview between
himself and Ferdinand W. Peck of Chica-
go outlining the policy of the Republicans
during the next four years which was sent
out from this city Friday night. Mr. Han-
lna denounced the story as a fake. He said
no such interview had ever taken place,
and. he declared his belief that Mr. Peck,
who was given as authority for the inter-
view, had never said anything of the kind.
“The story is the veriest rot, ” said Mr.
Hanna.
