shot by the Order Of Court-Martial for
Woundlng General Ribera.
MADRID, juno 5.-Captain Clavijo, who
shot and seriously wounded Captain
General Prima Ribera after the latter had
refused him the hand of his daughter on
Monday, was shot to-day, he having been
sentenced to death by court-martial.
He displayed marvellous fortitude and
composure.
Captain Clavijo walked to the prison
van smoking a cigarette. and bowed to
the crowd assembled within the prison
gate. They acknowledged his courtesy
by cheering loudly for the Captain. The
prison van surrounded by gendarmes
proceeded to the square of San Isadore,
on the bank of the Manzanres River.
There Clavijo alighted and walked
to the center OF the square, which
was lined with the troops on
three sides. The Captain, when he
reached the required position, bandaged
his own eyes, and then again bowed to
the people. The officer In command of
the firing squad then gave the order to
fire, and Claviio fell, killed instantly,
but, according to custom, two shots as a
coup de grace were fired at his PROSTATE
body, although the officer was already
dead. The troops then filed past the
body and the remains were removed.
LONDON, June 5.-A special dispatch
from Madrid says that the soldiers who
executed Captain Clavijo had to fire at
him three times. Clavijo first fell,
with three bullets in his head, and he
still moved after soldier had fired an
other shot into his head from under the
chin. He did not die until another soldier
fired a bullet through his heart. The
scene caused great excitement among the
horrified spectators.

fifty or sixty pupils by whom 1t was oceu-
pied were left shelterless-a prey to the In
tense cold weatEer-but for the benevolent
people In the neighborhood, Of whom. am
happy to say, there are many, both Of
white and coiored.
The building destroyed by fire was worth
about $500, and the funds by which it
was erected were mainly contributed by
Miss Emily Rowland. Having sustained
this heavy loss, almost on the threshold OF
Its existence, the question arises whether
this calamity shall put an end to this much
needed and useful enterprise In letter
to me Miss Thompson says, with much
spirit and purpose, that the enterprise shall
not fail; and I know that no effort will be
RENTED on her part to make it a success.
The land is there, the teachers are there,
the needy people are there, unprovided
with school facilities and there are benev-
olent people all over this country who will,
I am sure, feel it a privilege to contribute
to erect a suitable building on the ground
where stood the one destroyed by fire.
Having contributed myself to the success
of this institution, and believing in Its
utility, L do not hesitate to appeal to your
benevolent readers to assist this Manassas
school in this day of its disaster.

"Hoxfnc Contests Conducted by So
Called Athletic Clubs.

Under the thin disguise of athletic eX-
hfhitfons' or boxing contests brutal
pucilistic exhibitions are given In this
city, directed by so-ca!led athletic clubs.
Members of the sporting fraternity pay
two or three dollars to witness contests
between men called athletes, prize fight
ers or promoters of athletic sports. Blood
Is sometimes spilled. 1t has been long
time since the police have seen TT to in
tcrie-e aud arrest the participants IN
such contests. Several years ago the COM
m. g-icrers issued IN order on the SUBJECT,
az printed in The Star recently. This or

scenes and arrest offenders.

ton Of the police In the matter.
The officers. he said, are instructed 10
enforce the order when, In their judS-
rrcut the circumstances require police in
reference. and lie supposed tho officers
had seen no occasion for making arrests.

So far as he Is concerned, he gays, he
