SECOND GENERATION.

Detroit Free Fress: the suggestion
that a test case is 10 be brought for
the purpose of determining whether a
Chinaman born in this country is a
citizen or not, is a good one, because
the time is coming when it will be de-
sirable to know so far as persons of
Chinese birth are concerned whether
they have the same disabilities as
their ancestors. The question would
be less important if there were any
material change in the Chinaman from
generation to generation; but such is
not the fact. So far as can be OBJ
served the Chinaman born in this
country is open to the same objections
as his parents born in the celestial
empire. If there is anything to
choose, indeed, it is in favor of the
original celestial, for the American
product is simply the same with the
added ability which American birth
and training gives him to make him
self obnoxious.

ADAMS IS ENUMERATED.
But Reduction in Fees Is Recon-
mAnded

Madison, Wis, Jan. 21.--The report
of the committee recently appointed
by the board of visitors of the univer-
sity to investigate the charges of Os-
car Peterson, superintendent of
schools of Winnebago county, against
President Adams and his management
of university affairs was made public
late tonight. 1t refutes in toto all
such charges, taking each up sepa-
rately and giving the reasons why
they are not and cannot be true. The
charges that Adams was an aristocrat,
that drinking was common among the
students, that extension lectures took
up too much of the time of the faculty
and that fees were 100 high. The
committee favors a reduction OF fees
and no further expansion of the ex-
tension lecture department.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
Fresh Alarm Caused Tn Havana
by Approach of Cubans.
Special to THE HERALD.

Havana, Jan. 13.-Clouds of
smoke were seen this afternoon
in the direction of the village
of Veesa, near San Francisco
de Paula, a small town about
five miles distant. This was
followed by red glare show
ing that a general fire was
in progress in that direction.
Alarm spread once more
through the city and the
report was again circulated
that the insurgents we've ap-
preaching. But this was moth .
ing to the feeling of terror
which came over the more timid
when a still larger fire was
seen to have broken out. This
time it was made out that the
town Of San Francisco de Panle
had been set on fire by insur-
gents and the alarm increased,
though the authorities sneered
at The matter, claiming that the
fire was only the work of few
retreaiing rebels. 1t is claimed
that the troops must be
very busily engaged elsewhere
for the insurgents to be able to
burn a town in sight of Havana
and yet remain not attacked by
the government forces.
The greatest apprehension is
felt here for the safety of the
waterworks which supply Ha
vana. They are situated about
five niles from the city aud
less than that distance from
San Francisco de Paule.
