The prosecution. in brief. was that

arrest Dominguez on warrant charg ing
him with stealing hog. Dominguez re-

by him felled by blow from his pistol

THE CUBAN RESURRECTION
A Leading Citizen Of Puerto Principe Joins
the Rebels

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Secretary
Olney has laid down the duty OF citizens
of the United States in the observance
of strict neutrality between the Spanish
government and the Cuban insurgents.
not only touching armed assistance. buS
also as to rendering any encouragement
in an official way. The occasion for this
exposition came in 4 letter from Mr.. John
Z. Casey OF the Farmers and Merchants
National bank of Waco, Texas, asking If
it would be a violation of the neutrality
laws for his bank to act AS depository for
funds for the Cuban revolutionists.
Mr.. Olney's reply states: whether the
bank or its officers could be criminaly
prosecuted is question as to which
opinions may differ and which can be
satisfactorily settled only by the adjudica
ton of the proper court. Should bank
engage in such transaction, and, as you
suggest, publish its acceptance of such a
trust to the world, it would be my duty
to call upon the department of justice to
test the question whether or not the pro-
ceeding was crime against the United
States.
at might also be my duty to suggest
whether a bank holding Il United States
charter does not abuse it's franchise and
furnish grounds for it's forfeiture by acts
in aid of hostilities against nation with
which the United States is at peace.
You ask me not merely as TO your
technical legal liability but also as to
your moral obligation, adding: For We
ale all too loyal to our own country to
seek TO overthrow in any sense her laws
1 heartily commend the sentiment of the
question. and am in a position to say
your moral duty in the premises does not
admit of the least question. 1t has been

NORMAL SCHOOL SCENES
Hutchinson Visits the Angry
Senior Class
A LIVELY CONVERSATION
The Students Deny but Refuse to Sign
Statement
They Admit That About Forty of the Class
Cheated at the Recent Examination.
Four Students to Be Re-examined

(Alr. Edward Hutchinson herewith writes
to The Herald the closing chapters OF
the normal school incident. He, in a
letter to rhe Herald, first gave the news
of the cheating at the recent examina-
tions at that school. A Herald reporter
afterwards visited the school and the full
statement of Professor Pierce ana the stu.
dents was published. These induced
some severe structures on Mr.. Hutchison's
accuracy, though all his assertions were
given as coming from normal school peo-
pie. In justice to himself his further in
vestigations and statements are herewith
g:ven.)
Editor Herald: In my peregrinations
today | was Informed that certain young
men at the noraml school had it in for
me" Tor, because of and III behalf of my
letters of Monday and Tuedsay which
were published in The Herald. Wishing
to get normal and authentic definition
OF that classic phrase and to get any sur
plus truth that might be discovered,
climbed the hill to the normal school this
afternoon. l met Principal Pierce near
the front door. and we sat down IN his
office to talk over the late unpleasantness.
He stated that the Committee of the fac
ulty had made its final report; that four
teen seniors hau been found guilty of
school law, and that all of them had con-
fessed; that four persons had been con-
victed of an extended course of cheating,
and had been publicly reprmanded; that
neither the latter nor any of the Others
would be expelled, but that the latter
would be required to pass an examina-
ton in those branches III which thew
had cheated; that only two pupils had
confessed before they were convicted, but
that all those convicted had afterwards
confessed; that he had issued no orders
for preparation for work to exhibit before
the Teachers association; that if any
work was prepared it was done without
his knowledge, or was done in the train
ing school and without his knowledge.
He thinks that during the visit of the
committee or the Legislature he made
some reference to part of those in the
assembly room as ninth grade pupils, or
eighth and ninth grade pupils, hut is not
certain that he dld. Professor Molyneux
states that such reference was made at
his school room, and hs thinks it was
made ut the assembly room also. Several
who were present, two of whom are SEN
Tors, state that they are positive that no
such statement was made at the assem-
bly, room.
While / was talking with Principal
Pierce the hallway near the office rapidly
filled with students, many of whom came
into thA room OH various pretenses. A
delegation of young men of the senior
class came in to request an interview after
my consultation with the principal. At
the appointed time we filed out through
the crowd in the hallway TO large
vacant class room near the stairway. l
entered the room with about eighteen
young men, most OF whom were decidedly

Concert and Dramatic Entertainment for a

The concert and dramatic entertainment
to be given tonight at the New Music

of Mr.. Sharpless and wife, has merit in
its purpose. 1t will be remembered that
in April he fell from two-story scaffold
while painting, breaking his arm and leg.
He will be laid up long time yet, and
is in needy circum stances. His wife has
been sick and helpless for five months.
1t will be kind deed to aid them in the
manner proposed. as the entertainment
promises to be interesting and the admis-
sion is only 25 cents.
