The letter OF Cardinal Gibbons and the

ON A HILLSIDE
Stanford's Men Training
Hard at Congress
Springs.
Marvellous Appetites Developed
by Exercising Near the
Clouds.
How the Day Is Spent By the
Members of the Varsity
E.even.

CONGRESS SPRINGS, CAL, Nov. o.
The proprietor of the hotel here, on the
arrival of the Stanford men, said that he
had heard of the enormous appetites of
football players and had fortified his
larder against any onslaught the Palo AL
toans might make, but from the way in
which his provisions are disappearing he
has come to the conclusion that he knows
nothing about the game and the appetite
it develops. at the first meal the players
ate everything in sight and loudly called
for more, much to the hosts astonish-
ment.
For practice the men go down onto a
field near the hotel. 1t is mighty poor
field, however, having a decided slope
which greatly handicaps the team that
has to work uphill. The field is even
poorer than that at Woodside, but the
other accommodations are so much supe-
rior to those the men have enjoyed in
former years that they all are positive
they will never care to train at Woodside
again.
Each two men have a nicely furnished
room to themselves and the bathing facili-
ties are good, but the men are not allowed
to drink any of the mineral water for fear
it will do them more harm than good
that is the opinion of the trainer.
Talk about bracing atmosphere! 1t is
simply indescribable up here. The eleva-
tion of the springs is about 1000 feet. The
place is a good distance from centers of
civilization. Los Gatos is six miles away;
San Jose twice as far distant and the uni
versity is twenty miles from here. The
men spend their evenings in the large sit
ting-room, where they gather around a
big blazing hearth, sing college songs and
talk football. A few of the more studious
ones retire early to their rooms, where
they "dig" as hard at their books as
though they were expecting an lex" the
following day.
Practice begins with running down the
field of second eleven men, and giving
some tacklers on the first eleven a chance
to mend their faults. After this the
teams line up for half hour or so. On
account of the absence of Murphy and
Cotton the first afternoon Mcintosh and
freeman were put Ii at quarterback and
fullback on the Varsity. Both of these
men put up strong game. Freeman s
Ene-bucklng was good, while Mcintosh 8
passing was very sure, considering that
the ball was wet and the ground in such
poor condition. Harrington, left tackle,
was the only man who failed TO put up an
excellent game, and he was put over on
the second eleven, Rice taking his place.
The latter played harder than he has at
any previous game of the season. Jeffs
Both tackled hard and low and easily
broke up the interference of the second
team.
Signal practice occupies considerable
time each morning and a practice game o.
an hour occurs in the afternoon.

WENT DOWN WITH 4 BRIDeE.
Terrible Disaster to Party Out on a
Pleasure Ride.

Terrible Disaster to a Party Out on a
Pleasure Ride.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Nov. %. - A
party OF dozen young people who left
Ensley City last night In a wagon for a
pleasure ride had their merriment trans
ferred into death and disaster before they
had proceeded a mile on their journey.
Ten days ago new bridge was com pleted
across Village Greek, near Ensley City.
While crossing this structure it gave way,
preci pitating the wagon fifteen feet below
INTO the water. Not a person in the
vehicle escaped uninjured.
William Shannon, aged 20, was hurt
about the head, which caused conclusion
OF the brain, from which he died to-day.
Miss Maggie Hartigan was seriously in
lured about the head and her back was
sprained. 1t is feared she will die.
Charles Barnes had his scalp cut open
and received internal injuries which may
result seriously. The other injured are
.. l. Shannon, head badly cut; G. G..
Campbell, bruised about face and body
Ed Blackburn, arm broken; Sam Brown,
leg and head cut; Miss Ella Jones, cut
and bruised in head and shoulders; Miss
Lulu Williams, bruised; Miss Annie Will
liams, face badly cut; Miss Nellie Black
burn, bruised; Eph Bowie, driver, back
sprained.
The cause of the accident was that the
stringers of the bridge were too short and
gradually worked off the sills. The jar OF
the wagon last night caused them to fall,
letting the entire span down.

WEYLER SAYS HE CAM YET WIN.
Believes the Insurgents Cannot Withstand
the Campaign He Claims to
Be Prepdrjnc

HAVANA, CUBA, Nov. 2L-After a
somewhatiengthys silence Captain General
WeyIer has at last been heard from, and
in an interview he expressed himself as
being confident of putting an end to the
insurrection. General Weyler was inter-
viewed in the Jaca camp, which is located
near the town of San Cristobal, province
of Pinar del Rio. He said, after declaring g
that he was satisfied with the operations
that have been carried on up to the pres
ent time, that ne believed the insurgents
did not have in the hills supplies sufficient
to last them for more than three engage
ments. After these engagements had oc-
Cured it would be easier to estimate the
resources of the rebels, but he believed
that it would then be found that the am
munition of the insurgents was exhausted
He added that he had still fifteen or
twenty days work to perform at the camp
to complete his preparations for an ad-
vance on the rebels, but that he would
wait until after Christmas before he moved
his troops forward. Then he would strike
mortal blow at the insurgents.
When questioned concerning the posi-
tion of Maceo, the rebel leader, General
WeyIer, answered: The last news re-
ceived about him located him south OF the
Western Railway, on which San Cristobal
Is located. he Is unWlll1ng 10 meet our
columns even when his forces are in good
positions. We will see''
This indicates that so far the results OF
the campaign of General Weyler are still
in the future. Maceo is apparently follow
ing his old tactics of drawing the Spanish
troops as far.as possible into the hills from
their base of supplies, when. by dividing
his forces into small commands, he will be
able to continually harass them with
guerrilla tactics, for which they have no
liking.
Some distance to the west of San Cristo-
bal are mountain passes where a COM
paratively few rebels would be able to
| mold their own against any force that
Spain could send against them and 1t is
thought that General Weyler will not
meet the elusive Maceo until he comes
upon him Unexpectedly in some of these
mountain Businesses.
The Epoca, semi official organ, admits
that it is possible that General Weyler
will return to Havana, owing to the un-
healthy season.
LONDON, Eng, Nov. ga dispatch to
the Standard from Madrid says the Gov
ernment has intimated to General Weyler
that for reasons of international and do
mestic politics it will not be expedient for
for him to return to Havana until he has
achieved decisive victory over Maceo.

terday afternoon for Rome. This move of
the eminent theologian and educator is
due to a pressure that has been brought to
bear upon him in that direction ever since
he was relieved of his charge as rector of
the university. At that time, now over
two months ago, he was requested by the
Pope to go to Rome, but as be needed rest
and an opportunity for deliberation over
the situation he preferred rather to come
to San Jose, where he sought and found
needed rest and seclusion in the O'Connor
Sanitarium.
Every indication points to the prefer
ment of Bishop Keane after his arrival at
Rome. All the high officials in the church,
in America and at Rome, have expressed
the highest regard for him, and on all
sides there have been warm expressions of
desire for his elevation into some posi-
tion of emipence fitting his ability and
services to the church.
During his stay in San Jose Bishop
Keane was not idle, although he did not
leave the confines of the sanitarium and
its grounds. Every Sunday evening he
conducted the services at the sanitarium
chapel, and his loss will be greatly felt
there on that account and on account OF
the fact that he took a kindly interest in
even the most humble of the sick and
afflicted and often visited and comforted
them.
Before leaving the sanitarium yester-
day, Bishop Keane expressed much regret
10 the sisters, to Father H. Gallagher and
to other friends. He said that his greatest
solace at being deprived of his position at
the haod Df inc t1ffn e,h; 4.
had set his heart, was the opportunity
that it gave him for q stay at SO delightful
an institution as the sanitarium, and in q
city that had so pleasant a winter climate
as San Jose.
During his stay in San Jose, Bishop
Keane was debating as to the best
course for hi m to pursue in regard to the
invitation to go to Rome. There was
never any peremptory demand upon him
in that direction, so that he could not in
iure by the delay any chances that he
might have for preferment. He had much
interest before making move in learning
the wishes of the board of directors of the
Catholic University of Washington, which
met recently. Cardinal Gibbons was
president of the board, and warm per-
sonal friend of Bishop Keane was APP
pointed his successor as rector, which
proved that he still had potent influence
over that body. The appointment was
the most satisfactory possible to Bishop
Keane, who still feels and expresses as
great an interest in the welfare of the uni
versity as when he was at its head.
At meeting of the board of directors OF
the university by unanimous request
Cardinal Gibbons sent g letter to the late
rector expressing the hope and belief that
his ability and eminent services would
soon be rewarded by his elevation to some
important station by the Holy Father at
Rome. The following significant senti-
ments are contained in the letter of Car
dinal Gibbons. In reference to the posi-
ton of Bishop Keane he says:
"Your noble soul has grown from your
undertaking. You have proven the eff
cheney of the university to train young
