TALES OF SPANISH BRUTALITY.

A Missionary Relates Them to a
Senate Committee.
Rev. Albert j. Diaz the American citi-
zen and Baptist missionary who, with his
family and brother, was expelled from
Cuba after having been arrested and in
carcerated In prison there, has been given
a hearing before a subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
consisting Of Senators Morgan and Davis.
Mr.. Diaz made q statement under oath.
Many Of the statements made by Mr..
Diaz have already appeared in print. One
case just furnished the State Department
was at Guatao, where the Spanish SOL
diers killed six or seven men (non-com-
batants). Then the Spaniards went into
different houses and gathered seventeen
men. They tied these together, two by
two among them being Ladislo Quintero,
Of Key West, an American 21 years old,
who was found sick in bed. The men
were taken to the street and commanded
to kneel down. The soldiers fired at
them, killing all except the American.
This occurred Feb. % in the immediate
presence Of the wives and children Of the
unfortunate men. DR.. lDiaz's statement
gives accounts Of cases where he alleges
explosive bullets were used by the Span
iards and Of the shooting Of two children
in the arms of their mothers by the Span
iards. March 10, in Havana, he saw n
man who had been killed by the soldiers
and who had seventy-one bayonet
wounds. DR.. Diaz mentioned several in
stances where the Spaniards bombarded
insurgent hospitals, killing the inmates.

TRADE FAIRLY BRISK.
Short Crop Stories Have Little Effect
on the Market. .j4 OK

X. g. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: The waiting condition,
which seems to some people nothing bet
ter than stagnation, still continues. But
there is a difference. Thousands of orders
and contracts are merely deferred because
they can be more safely given n little
later. There is nothing exciting in the
speculative market for exportable pro-
ducts and the stories about damage to
wheat have been numerous. but the gen
cral belief regarding the future supply is
fairly reflected in the decline of 1.62 cents
per bushel. The western receipts con
tinue largcr--for three weeks 5,S1S.62o
bushels. against 4.362.537 last year, while
Atlantic exports, -four included, have been
only 3, i9S. .S03 bushels for the same weeks,
against 4,749,6T4 last year. The home
market fails entirely to respond to short
crop stories. for it is known that western
reports indicate Il crop exceeding last

Women with handsome figures prefer
the jacket. and a great many jackets
are planned Of beautiful material and
light color, with silk lining aud seams
followed by beading or braiding in the
manner indicated by the companion
figure to the garment last mentioned.
These are intended to serve upon elab-
crate occasions, and they are very
pretty, but not as dressy though quite
as expensive as the cape. AS to the
shape of jackets, ii changes little. The
back Is almost always tight, and the
leg-o'-muttOn sleeve is as much worn
as the bishop Lengthwise braiding Of
jacket sleeves holds, too, In spite OF the
too popular melon sleeves.
All dress jackets have fiuty skirts,
especially In the back, and that means
that the lining Of the skirts must be
pretty. ~in many cases the lining Is
finished off separately from the Jacket
material. and sometimes little frills
are set between the lining and the
edge Of the jacket at back and sides.
thus adding to the jaunty tilt-up OF the
flutes For the woman inclined to be
little bulky Mt the hips this Is not
good idea, but the woman who buys
Jacket because II "is 80 pretty will not
stop to think Of this.
TO have the jacket at Its very best Is
to have II In tailor effect. Nothing Is
more becoming, more suitable and trim
mer than a jaunty, perfectly lifting
Jacket worn with stylish plain skirt
and n iaunty street hat. Such gar
ment makes its effect on lines totally
different from those Of the cape, which
is what the jacket is intended to do.
There is just as much to find fault with

sleeves are conventional, and the collar
turns away to show the linen at the
throat. A great many dealers sell ma
terial by the yard to match the jackets
in their stock, so 1t becomes possible to
get tailor jacket and have the dress
maker finish skirt to match, thus
making n costume that with a shirt
waist is always good form and always
becoming. Women seem to count on
having their tailor rigs cleansed two or
three times In n season. and some very
correct and wealthy &amsels have a
change of tailor jackets and send them
to the cleansers about as often as white
ducks go in summer. Thus II Is that

European Crop Outlook.

The foreign statistics gathered by the

conditions throughout the year. The sum-
mary follows: Great Britain-The crop
outlook everywhere is good and promises
a harvest about two weeks earlier than
usual. This would diminish the imports
for the remainder of the current cereal
year by about 100000 bushels. France
With normal weather until harvest the
wheat crop will more than suffice for
home requirements. A surplus for export
Is confidently predicted by French agri-
cultural journals and statisticians. some
expecting that it will amount to 10000
600 bushels. This quantity would affect
prices, especially il the French Govern
ment should pay bounty on exports.
Austria aHungary-The weather has been
favorable and the crops promise well.
Roumania-Cold weather In April retard-
ed the crops, but the outlook is generally
promising. Russia-Excellent prospects
of a crop above the average in quantity
and quality are generally reported. The
unfavorable March weather in the south
is found to have done no Serious damage
Spring sowings have been completed un-
der good conditions. ~

ROWDIES AT ANN ARBOR.
Several Students Hurt, and Other
Put Under Arrest.

Put Under Arrest.
The annual freshmen banquet at Ann
ArbOr Friday night resulted in one of the
liveliest rows seen'at the university for
some years. Everything seemed to be
moving smoothly until midnight, when the
storm that had been only brewing burst
with full force. Before morning three
students were in Jail, two more were Sc
verely il not dangerously injured, and
many more could exhibit sundry and nu-
merous bruises. Wednesday night the
sophomores raided the Alpha Delta Phi
house, caught the freshman toastmaster,
Enthusiastically trimmed his hair with a
horse clipper and painted his face a gay
yellow, with preparation Of potash. The
freshmen returned the compliment by cor
nering several sophomores and shearing
their hair in like fashion.
Thursday night the frolic was much
less, for those concerned the night before
had begun to see visions Of faculty and
paternal displeasure. 1t looked as If the
banquet would come of without the usu-
al trouble. But the freshmen, both boys
and girls, for the frolic even extended to
the sorority houses and in milder form
was participated in by the girls, kept a
strict watch for traps. Toastmaster Muir
Snow, Of Detroit, was secreted and guard
ed. A professional barber trimmed his
hair 90 that he was presentable when the
banquet time arrived. Several hundred
students gathered around the entrance
to the building where the banquet tables
were set and waited. The freshmen came
in groups, with their ladies, carefully
guarded. Four deputy sheriffs armed
with heavy canes held the doors.
The sophomores, without, were merely
noisy for a few hours. Finally persons,
possibly not students, began to fire stones
and eggs at the windows. Soon hardly a
whole window was left. The proprietor
of the building demonstrated, but in vain,
and he sent for more officers. The chief
Of police with half dozen patrolmen re-
sponded promptly and tried to disperse
the crowd. They failed. One obstrcper-
ous high school student named Alfred
Ulp was arrested. Then followed the oft
repeated and difficult procession to the
lookup, half mile distant, with the pris-
oner.
The officers used their clubs freely and
with good effect. One student, name un-
known, was knocked senseless and bled
profusely from a scalp wound. Frank
Traverse, a freshman literary student,
was hit on the head with a brick and Sat-
urday evening was in a critical condition.
When the Jail was reached the officers
had gathered in two more students, Frank
Ramsey, n freshman medic from Delta,
O., and Richard Ray, a freshman from
Huntsville, Ark. All the way to the Jail
the crowd of students harassed the off,
GERS and tried to get their companions
away from them. Once securely locked
up, the crowd dispersed. The three stu
dents were released on their own recog-
nizances.
