ing let. Ground will probably be

Change in Boat Crew.

NEW YORK, May IA special
to the World from Cambridge,
Mass, says: The outlook for a
good crew at Harvard this year is
far from encouraging. The hard
luck which has followed it from
the beginning OF the season, con
tinues. A fortnight ago it was
thought that the eight men who
will sit in the boat in the Yale race
were decided upon, but now the ILL
ness Of Hollister and Stevenson
threatens to upset the previous
calculation. Hollister has rowed
with the Varsity most Of the sea-
son and when Stevenson dropped
the stroke he vas put in this re-
sponsible position. The early part
of this week The was compelled to
give up training and has gone from
Cambridge for a ten days rest. AT
ter the class races, three substi-
tutes, f. n. Wrighton and j. E.
chatham from the Sophomore
boat, and j. A. Stillman, Of the
Juniors, were taken to the Varsity
table. chatham and Stillman
are at present rowing with the
eight during the absence of Hollis
ter and Stevenson. Billiard has
gone to stroke, a position which he
may fill in the Yale race. The other
men in the order they are now
rowing are: Fennessy, Nc. I;
Waitress, No. 6; chatham, 5; Still
man 4; Shepard 3; Damon 2; Lewis

to May 20, that the foreign office of
Hawaii completely disapproved
the claims of Richard and Walker,
on the ground that they are British
subjects, and the British commits
sioner will report to the govern

quently there will be no occasion
for British interference in the case.

Wagne

New YORK, May PA special
to the World from Paris says: "The
chief musical event of the Paris
season has been the remOunting OF
Wagner's 'Tannhauser' at the
Opera. Three representations OF
the work were given three or four
years ago, but so much opposition
was encountered then that Wag-
lei withdrew his piece before the
fourth representation. The oppo-
sition was organized by members
Of the Jockey club, who were in
censed because Wagner declined to
introduce a ball in the second act.
Recently, however, the audience
endeavOred to make amends for
the conduct Of their predecessors
by giving Wagner's music an en-
thusiastic reception. Another note
worthy musical event OF the last
few days was the piano recital OF
NJ. Edward ~Zeldendust, the Dutch
pianist. His playing Of Beetho-
VEINS appassionato, OF Bach's fam
tasia and fuege and Of Schubert's
'Erlkonig' reused his audience to
an extraordinary pitch Of enthus-
iasm. A large number OF Ameri-
cans were present"

itemized statement and will be
presented to the delegates of as

District Master Workman Connol-
ly. Altogether the sum of $12,739
was expended. One OF the largest
items was the expenditure of S4,0l0
to send nOn-union men to the
cities from which they came. This
was kept up until the constant
drain made it impossible to con-
tinue that method of warfare any
longer,

CUBAN WAR NEWS.

NEW YORK, May PA special
to the Herald from Santiago de
Cuba says: The telegraph wires
were again cut between this city,
San Luis, Songo and intermediate
points on the Sabanilla and Moroto
railroad, and that it Is feared that
the traffic will be again suspended.
The rebel forces have raided Ell
Cristo. They burned the CommO-
dious garrison building in Moron
and are within half a league Of San
Luis. 1t is thought an attack upon
the latter place is seriously con-
templated. San Luis is N OF the
principal points Of the railroad. 1t
is inhabited mostly by loyal Span
ish catalans, OF whom a majority
are we'll to do.
A f1utter Of excitement is notice
able among the Spanish marines,
caused by the news that two new
expeditions have sailed for Cuba,
one from Florida and the other
from Honduras. The latter was
fitted out at New Orleans.
1t is understood three Spanish
warships have hurried to sea with
orders to intercept both. Only the
gunboat Condo de Nenadito, whose
boilers were strained recently in a
fruitless race after the Nordstrand,
remains in port. She will 60 to

TALKING ABOUT US.
Busybody John Bull Don't Know

LONDON, May 27.-The Times
discusses the currency question in
America in an editorial this morn
ing, in which it expresses the be-
lief that opinions are so equally
divided that it is unlikely that the
presidential election will be fought
on the silver question. Party man.
ayers, it believes, will prefer to
raise some other issue, as the surest
result Of either party Offering to
bring the silver issue to the front
will be to create adivision in party
ranks.
"If our surmise," the Times con-
tinues, "proves correct, the sound
money will be suffered to rem ain
in possession of the field, and
America will escape many of the
evils which President Cleveland
predicts as a consequence Of the
triumph OF the silverites."
The article argues that even IL
an international bi-metallic league
is formed, in accordance with Sen
ator Hill's suggestion, and Great
Britain is flooded with silver at
twice it's present market price, the
league could not live. The first
withdrawal would, the Times
thinks, go near smashing it, and
leave the faithful ones in the
lurch, with a good store of de-
preciated metal on their hands.
"For the present, at all events" the
Times concludes, 1.-The reasons are
conclusive against America aband-
oning the gold standard"
