The Cuban Pres dent Denies That In
surg~nts Arc Incendiaries.
NEW YORK, April 1.-The Herald
says: A manifesto signed by Salvador
Cisneros, president Of. the insurgent
Cuban government, has inst reached
the United States. The manifesto
states that the insurgent armies have
not burned country dwellings, except
when used by Spanish troops as forts
or garrisons and that for the sake of
the families, wives and children Of non.
com batants, food is now allowed to
enter towns and cities at present held
by the armies of Spain, Oh the pay.
ment Of an import duty.
Cisneros most emphatically denies
that bandits or outlaws form any part
of or have any connection with the
Cuban army, and proclaims that not.
wIthstanding the course being pursued
by Spain towards captured insurgent
soldiers and political prisoners, the
Cuban government will not retaliate
The manifesto concludes with these
words:

in hopes, but if our armies should un.
fortunately meet defeat in the field, We

NEW YORK. April Hon. Ed

Britain, delivered lecture before the
law department of the Brooklyn Insti-
tute of Arts and Science on the Mon
roe doctrine. After references to the
various disputes in which the European
nations had been involved and the pos
sibilities Of future disputes he took up
the boundary lines between Venezuela
and British Guiana. He referred to it
as matter in which the United States
had no personal concern. Great Britain
had acquired British Guiana, he said,
nearly two centuries ago and the
boundary line had been in dispute for
more than century. His opinion was
that no line existed or ever had existed

Signs of Great Activity at the
French Navy Yards and

Warships Being Made Ready For
Service and Naval Officers
Recalled.
Mediterranean Squadron to Be
Strengthened Said to Be
Precautionary.

ToULON, April There are signs
at the dock yards and arsenals of
preparations for grave events. Orders
have been received to prepare n num-
ber Of warships for active service, stores
and ammunition are being overhauled
and sent on board the vessels to be pre-
pared for commission, and all naval
officers OH furlough have been tele-
graphed to rejoin their ships imme-
diately. These measures, however, are
believed to be more Of "a precautionary
nature than as indicating the probabil-
ity of an outbreak of hostilities. The
French Mediterranean squadron how
ever, is to be strengthened and the Sec
ond class cruiser Cecille, 5, 766 tons, eight
5-ton guns and 10 3-ton guns, having a
speed Of 10 knots, has sailed on O
special mission to the African coast.

France Will Probably BE Called Upon
to Take Some Eefinite Action.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-While it
cannot be learned that the United
States has yet joined with Great Brit
ain in representations to France re-
specting the setting aside by the latter
of the treaties of commerce and amity
that have existed between them and the
Hova government of Madagascar, it is
believed that the matter is rapidly as
suming phase that will call for some
action by our government. Like Great
Britain, the United States has a treaty
with the Hova government that guar
antees to our citizens privileges equal
to those accorded any other nation.
This means for one thing that no
greater duties shall be imposed on
goods imported into Madagascar from
the United States than from any other
country. 1t is the purpose of the
French government to remove this
quality and reserve
Special Privileges for French Merchants,
and France has notified our state de-
partment that by virtue of this assump-
ton of control over the foreign rela-
tions of Madagascar. these treaties shall
fall. If France has annexed Madagas-
car or made it a French colony, then
| our government must admit her right
to abrogate the treaties in this fashion,
but it is not certain that the present
anomalous status of the French on the
island can be regarded as sufficient to
warrant the assumption of any such
right, and it may be that before our
| government will admit it there must be
some more explicit definition of the ex.
act scope of French authority in NADIA

Five Cuban Prisoners Publicly Garroted
at Havana.
HAVANA, April l.-Never in mod
ern times has there been more sicken-
ing spectacle than that which attended
the public execution of five Cubans.
The men had been condemned to death
by the garrote, as "murderers, violators
and incendiaries. The first man to
die took his seat in the chair calmly;
the iron collar was fixed about his neck,
and the cap drawn over his face. Then
the executioner undertook to apply the
screw, but was so excited that his hand
slipped repeatedly. with the result that
the victim died by slow strangulation,
emitting the while the most distressing
cries. The other executions were
repetitions of the first one, except that,
if possible, they were more bungling.

sectional matters. But we must ever seek for the true principles in our par ties and remember that the party does party. By independent thought and ac- ton our government was won and by them alone can it be preserved. The true relation of individual and party is ever to be determined by sense of duty"
 John Loomer Hall, B. A., Yale '94, New Haven had the same subject as the last speaker treating 1t in both a historical and philosophical manner. "The question of party politics is al ways the old question as to how much democracy can be injected into a re- publican government. Old parties exist because they have existed. Their po- sitions on the various questions of the day are only relative and are in part the outcome of sectional selfshness.
 "The parties of 1796 looked more at principles and less at consequences: made more of ideas and less of men, and they were more open in their work ing. The purpose of party should be not to make public opinion, but to dis cover and execute it."
 Frederick Sanford Martyr, B. A., Dartmouth '94 New Haven, discussed the Mississippi Rule of Suffrage" both as to it's constitutional validity and also as to whether 1t was good or bad law. Tt gives the practical power of nulli-
