demanded better food and more of it..
The contractor who is supplying the
grub finally promised better things in
the future and the mutineers dispersed
without doing any damage. A camp of
the Coburn Cadets without "grub
riot'' would be tame affair indeed, and
it has now become one of the recognized
customs of the college to have at least one
mutiny on this account during tour in
camp.
While all drills and ceremonies have
been greatly interfered with at Camp
Hyde during the week, there has always
been a guard maintained about the camp
and after night fall only those cadets
with passes have been allowed to leave
the confines of the guard line. Many
stories of guard running and the hazing
of sentries were told the Portland visitors
by their hosts who have found plenty of
amusement of this kind during the
week. Lieutenant Royden, the regular
army officer who is also the drill master
of the Coburn Cadets, has been in camp
with the battalion during the entire week
and has acted as the commanding officer
of the camp. He is very strict dis
ciplarian and has kept the boys up to
their work in a way which has gained
Tor him the respect of the corps.

There are many former members of the
Portland High School Cadets in the ranks
of the Coburn Cadets, and these young
gentlemen the Portland boys We're not
long in finding today. The Portland
representatives in the battalion of the
Maine University are acknowledged to
be the best soldiers in the camp by the
army officers and all who know them.
This come about through the instruction
they received while under the watchful
eye of Capt. Baker, whose reputation as
a drill master and tactician is we'll
known in Maine.
Among these young gentlemen from
Portland and vicinity are Capt. Nc
Clune of G company, who is senior in
the college and whose home is in Deering.
The sergeant-major of the battalion is
S. G. Dillingham;, who was the major of
the High School battalion while in that
school. Dillingham; is junior now and
his class mates expect that he will be the
major of the battalion next year. An
other Portland boy who has made repu-
tation as military man is C.S. Webster,
who is the quarter master sergeant of the
battalion. While he was in the High
School he was lieutenant Of one of the
companies and his friends expect that
he will at the very least, command a
company in the Coburn Cadets next year.
Webster, in his capacity as quartermas-
ter sergeant, has had the entire charge in
the pjtchinr and orray, rr;,,rr rf +La no mr.,
for the Coburn Cadets, and has shown
himself to be thorough and efficie Mt
young officer. Another Portland High
School boy who bids fair to obtain high
rank in the college is L. E. Dow, who
now ranks as sergeant. He also was a
lieutenant in one Of the school companies
while in Portland. e. S. Bryant, who is
now member of the color guard in the
Coburn Cadets, was formerly color SER
geant in the High School Cadets, and
other Portland men who hold rank are
Corporal Arthur Wescott, Sergeant
Horace White. Corporal George Hersey,
Sergeant Harry Higgins of Deering, R.
S. Johnson of Stroudwater and others.
. At noon today when the mess CALL
sounded the Portland men were not long
in getting into line and in marching in.
to the mess tent to dinner. Here they as
tonished the walters by their apparently
Unsuitable appetites and made the big
tent resound with their laughter and
cheers. For these youths of the Portland
High School have great propensity for
giving their school yell on every occa-
sion where it may be done within the pale
of the law and they cheer everybody and
everything as long as their voices hold
out. Thus was Principal Chase received
when he entered the mess tent trifle
behind the time, and Adjutant General
Richards, accompanied by Lieut.. Morton.

But it was when the Portland High
School battalion took the floor under
MaJor3Norton' S command that the nation
al guardsmen and others had an opportu-
nifty of showing their appreciation OF good
drilling. From the time the battalion
was formed until it left the floor the
youngsters of the Portland High School
were continually applauded. Their work
was excellent and laid way over anything
that the Coburn Cadets had done. Major
Norton showed that he knew how to
handle his large battalion even in the
limited space of the rink and every move
ment that was executed could not posi-
nly nave been improved upon. The Port
land people who were present had reason

After dinner, the rain still continued
to fall, it was decided to hold the inspec-
ton and drill of the two battalions in the
Alameda rink. When the rink was
reached there was hardly vacant seat to
be found in the big building and among
the large crowd were many ladies who
had turned out to witness the drill. Col.
Hughes, the inspector general of the de-
partment of the east, Lieut. Morton, U.
S. A., Adjutant General Richards, who
appeared tor the first time in the uniform
of his new position, Capt. Baker of Port
land and many other officers of the Maine
National Guard, were present as were
also the officers and privates of the Hyde
Guards of Bath.
Major W. 7. Braston, who commands
the Coburn Cadets. formed his battalion
and proceeded to execute some close col
umn and other movements, which were
we'll done considering the smallness of
the floor space. After the battalion drill
company drill followed under the watch
full eyes of the inspector general. In
many ways this drill was disappointing
and the cadets of the Maine University
did not seem to take the interest in it
that one would expect. There was very
little snap to their work, and some parts5
of the exhibition were, to say the leasts
decidedly crude. This drill occupied con-
siderable time and all of the companies
which seemed to do any kind of work
We're applauded generously.

are locked up at the Central Police sta
ton, as the result of riot on a Lake
Shore excursion train tonight. The For
esters were returning from pleasure re-
sort near SandusSy when a quarrel en-
sued between two Foresters over a cap.
Railroad Detectives Bridestone and Viii
liams interfered as peacemakers. The
Foresters turned upon the officers. Bride
stone was hit on the head several times
with billy and felled to the floor. As he
lay there they jumped on his head, face
and body and kicked him viciously, Will
liams tried to rescue Bridestone and was
the victim of the same treatment. The
excited Foresters picked up the uncon-
scious form of Williams and hurled it
through a coach window. As the train
drew into the depot the police were sum-
moned. They arrested Fred Eggert,
broker, and j. Stremple, a contractor, both
Foresters and wealthy. Williams body
was taken to the depot by switchmen,

famous families, shot and perhaps fatally
wounded Percy Stackhouse, a weIl-known

could walk. The quarrel was renewed
when they returned 10 Stackhouse's resi-
dence. Payne drew a pistol, but Stack
house rushed on him before he had time
to use it and held him from behind.
Payne managed to get his right hand
loose and fired four shots over his shoul-
der. Two bullets struck Stackhouse, and
one went through door into the room
where Miss Carrie Stackhouse was dress
ing, falling 1T her feet. Payne surren-
dered to the authorities. He was released

HAVANA, CUBA June Cat Rincon
del Parazo, province of Puerto Principe, a
sharp battle has been fought between the
Spanish column of General Jimenez Castei-
lanos and several insurgent bands num-
bering 1000 men. The engagement lasted
four hours. The Spaniards had all the
advantage until Major Don Agustin de la
Tore was struck by a Cuban bullet and
dropped dead by the side of General
Castellanos. The Spanish troops, believ-
ing their general was the man killed,
retreated in disorder, and before the gem
eral could convince them he was alive the
Cubans had attacked and carried the
Spanish positions with machetes GEN
eral CastelIanos retired to Rincon, carry
ing 110 wounded.
Another crime by Lieutenant Colonel
Fondeviela has been added 10 the bloody
list. AT La Fe, near Guanabacoa, eighteen
pacificos asked his permission TO 60 out of
town in search OF food. They were gather
ing mangos and sweet potatoes, each with
Fondevielas signed permission in his
pocket, when a Spanish guerrilla force al
tackled the defenseless countrymen with
machees. To the cries of the victims
that they were there with the permission
of FoDdeviela the assassins answered that
they also had orders from Fondeviela to
xii! them. The eighteen pacifcos were
hacked to pieces.
In the outskirts of Santa Maria del Ro-
sarIo, Havana province, another baTbar-
Gus deed has been ommitted by the Span
iards. Two boys, one and the other 7
years old, were found by Spanish guer-
rillas. When asked if they were Span
iards or Cubans the boys answered that
they were Cubans. For this crime the
commander OF the guerrillas ordered their
immediate death. They were macheted.
Two soldiers were SO Mortified by the
cruelty of their commander that they de-
serted to the insurgents.
In Santa Clara province more atrocities
have been committed. The Spanish forces,
under command of Sebastian MurrilIo, at
tackled a Cuban hospital at Ojo de Agna,
near Cienfuegos, killing many sick, and
wounding besid es two physicians and two
nurses. Ire case is officially reported
here as the capture of prefecture.

country women were assassinated by
Spanish guerrillas after having been as
sauIGed.

A few California apricots, the first of

The orange market is dull and prices
are weak, the daily receipt OF about 100

Farmers of Rsstern New York Expect to

LGroe Scale

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 6.-The
Board of Trade has decided to take bold
of the sugar-beet raising business on
large scale with the idea of making it one
of the chief industries of the western part
of the State. The Legislature this year
passed bill appropriating S25 900 as a
bounty to sugar-beet growers and the
price of sugar beets has advanced from
81 to S. already. The Board of Trade has
obtained seeds enough for tests on hun
dreds of farms. If successful the farmers
will next year go into the business ex-
tensively. This Is the grape-growing Sec
tion of the State and up to few years
ago the price of grapes made the business
very profitable, but the price has been 60
ing down yearly and now it has become
absolutely necessary for farmers to run
some other business in connection with
grape-growing.
