Supposed Completely of the Ameer in the

LONDON, New. ia dispatch from Cabul
says the general belief of the completely of
Yakoob Khan in the massacre of the British
Embassy gains strength. The Ameer and his
advisers, it is thought, did not anticipate a
wholesale massacre, but only sufficient intimid-
alton to induce Major Cavagnari to report his
position in Cabul as untenable. Affairs, how
ever, went beyond their control, and they then
acted on the principle that dead men tell no
tales" The troops did not mutiny for arrears

A General Emeute at Middlebury Col
lege

MIDDLEBURY, VT, Nov. 15.-The Sophomore
class of Middlebury College went into volun-
tary suspension day before yesterday, the
Freshmen class yesterday, Senior and Janior
classes to-day. The faculty have suspended
the two lower classes and probably will sus-
pend the others. Every student is engaged in
the rebellion. The trouble grows out of al
legged unjust action of the faculty toward
member of the Sophomore class.
