The most radical reform made by
Yale in athletics in years has just been

direction of the faculty, that no person

Spanish Troops Defeated.

HAVANA, August II. The news that
Gen. RolofF had landed an expedi-
ton at Las Piedras, coast of Moron, and
that Garcia had captured the city of
Holguin is true A hundred Spanish
soldiers who were escorting a convoy
from Canto to Cayamus, Manzanillo,
were surrounded by superior force of
insurgents, who attacked the Spaniards
from all sides. The troop sustained
heavy losses, much larger than the
official figure, which are given as two
officers and twenty-one privates killed.
The bodies of the dead were left on the
field, the troops being compelled hur-
riedly, toretreat to escape annihilation.
The rebels are said to have lost thirty
six killed, including Chorgo Rivere and
other leaders.
A body of rebels attacked the town
of Guira de Melena in the southern
part of the province of Havana, and
captured it despite desperate resis-
tance on the part of the Spanish garri-
son. A number of stores and dwell
ings were looted and then burned
after which the rebels retired. No
mention is made of losses on either
side in the official report, which
credits the Spaniards with repulsing
the rebels, though no explanation is
given of the acknowledged facts that
the rebels looted and burned stores and
dwellings in the heart of the town.
Jose Miquere Querillo was shot at
Matanzas to-day for the crime of rebel
lion and incendiarism. Chongo
Rivero was reported by Gen. Bosha a
few days ago to have been killed in a
recent skirmish with Col. Seguras'
column.

Railroad Rate War.

Greenville, S. g., August 1.-THE
argument in the rate case before Judge
Simonton was resumed. Col, Hender-
son, general counsel for the Southern,
taking up the issue favoring the juris-
diction of the court. Judge Henderson
maintained that the cut of 30 per cent.
by the Seaboard Air Line was for the
purpose of preventing the Southern
from putting on competing line of
steamboats, from Baltimore to Ports
mouth. The cut was not because the
new rate was a just and fair one, but to
prevent competition upon the ocean.
The purpose was unlawful and affected
the acts. This cut would disturb the
rates of all other railroads in the terri
tory and they have the right to COM
plain and this court has right in this
application to restrain the unlawful
ac., This court has the power to re-
strain an act working injury to others
when the act itself lawful is for an un-
lawful purpose.
Gen. Watts took up the cause for
the Seaboard, arguing against the
jurisdiction of the court.
Judge Watts chief counsel for the
Seaboard Air Line, said that all that
was used against his side was de-
clamation, denunciations and extracts
from dissenting opinions. lie charged
that the Southern had made a secret
cut in rates before the Seaboard put its
IS per cent. cut into effect. He ridi-
culed the idea of there being a conspi-
racy ond said that there were twenty
two roads combined against the Sea-
board through the Southern States
Freight Association. His argument
was exhaustive and he charged that to
make the injunction permanent would
be to destroy all competition in the
South. The litigation vas brought
about by the Southern. What he had
contended for was government by
law and not by injunction.
Judge Cothran, State counsel for the
Southern Railway, spoke for over one
hour strictly on the legal issues in
volved, and directed most of his atten-
tion to the position that where there
was improper competition the court
was expected to interfere, and argued
in support of this position. AS to the
Southern being monopoly, he sale. it
was rejuvenating old and bankrupt
corporations and giving the people the
best possible service
Mr.. Smythe, who brought the COM
plaint, insisted that he brought the ac-
ton on the part of the Port Royal &
Augusta Railroad, and that no one else
had anything to do with it. He de-
voted much time to a defence of the
court for the course it has pursued in
granting the temporary injunction, and
was quite severe on the press and
Senator Tillman for trying to tear down
the dignity of the courts. He will to-
morrow resume the argument and
gives every promise of making the
chief argument in favor of the juris-
diction Of the court.
The arguments are likely to be con-
cluded by tomorrow. Mr. Smythe will
conclude and Mr.. King will take up the
argument for the Seaboard. All coun-
sci say that the case is the most impor'
tant heard in years, tlat its rulings
must be new and will blast out the
way.

startling society INCIDENT.

The St Louis Mirror gives the following
account Of a remarkable occurrence at a
society wOman's house: II seems that
certain matrOn OF the West End gave an
elegant dinner 10 a number OF young ladies'
a lew nights after the terrible cyclone
Everything passed of pleasantly until the
comee was reached, when there occurred
an incident of a rather startling charac-
ter to those ladies Of refinement who were
present II seems that one or the guests,
a very pretty girl, upon the sugar bowl be-
ing passed to her. did not notice the sill
Yer tOngs hanging upon one OF the ham

the saccharine substance 10 her sister
guests, she promptly utilized her rosy nm
gers TO take a lump of sugar from the
bowl and dropped II in her coffee. The
nnatron, in her most pompous manner.
after glazing at the pretty offender, called
10 the butler: James, remove the sugar
bowl and have II removed with sugar"
The butler did as he was bid, while the
onendlng young lady's bushes cost rosy
glow over the assemblage. Finally TIE
feast came 10 an end, as all good things
must, and all the guests arose, chattering,
and took their way TO the spacious parlors.
Before they had made their exit from
the dining room, however, they were star
tied by terrible crash. Looking around,
they beheld the young lady smilngly sur
Neying the shattered fragments OF a beau
tiful cup and saucer that she had hurled
against the wall. The hostess had no
need to inquire into the matter, for the
young lady remarked to the assembled
company: I'm view Of the fact that 1
may have contaminated the sugar by taxi

the vessel which I may have still further
