ported that it had fully investigated the
charge against one of the school teachers for

Salvation Brigadiors Are Americans.

CINCINNATI, March 5.-Brgadier Gen
eral Cozzens, of the Salvation Army in
this city, says: "The story that all the
brigadiers except one in the Salvation
Army in this country are English is not
true, On the contrary with the possible
exception of Brigadier General Evans, Of

INSULTING OUR FLAG.


MADRID March 5-There were renewed
disturbances here yesterday and demon
strations of popular anger against the
United States government. The students
of the university seem to have been the
offenders or the leaders in the demonstra-
tion. In spite of the special prohibition
directed against them by the government
the students and other inhabitants in
dulged in renewed manifestations of their
unfriendly sentiments against the United
States.
They assembled before the Madrid uni
Verslty and there publicly burned an
American flag. The police dispersed the
meeting after making several arrests. AS
result of the disorders the cabinet coun-

Spanish people this may lead to serious
complications. Of course all reports that
come from Cuba are to be received eau
tiously, but this one is told with cir
cumstantiality of detail which seems to
entitle it to confidence. In brief the
facts are that DR.. Delgardo who was born
in Cuba but has been a naturalized oiti-
zen of the United States many
years, while quietly cultivating
his plantation, was seized by
a body of Spanish troops, along with his
plantati ton hands, and, Notwithstanding
he showed his papers of American citi-
zenship and proved that he had taken no
part in the rebellion, he and his laborers
were shot by the Spanish troops. Four
laborers were shot dead, and DR.. Delgar-
do was supposed TO be dead but afterward
revived and was rescued by his friends.
The massacre has been brought to the at
tention of Consul General Williams at
Havana and the matter will soon be pre-
sented to our government officially for
action.

has practically given its con-

course approves of it because it will be a

Menelek. The ultimate purpose OF the
expedition is somewhat of mystery.
The pretext for 1t is that the dervishes
are threatening Wady Halfa and may
march to Cairo If successful at the form

very little credence. The explanation
which is suggested that England wants
