A board FINDS That He Acted without War
rant In n Clash with Students
CoLUMkIA. g.. c., June 24.-The board Of in
ouiry which has been investigating the causes
Of the riot here between the State militia and
students on May % made q report to Gov.
Ellerbe tonight. The report shows that Adj
Gen. Watts can be removed only by impeach-
ment of tho Legislature. The members find
that in the battalion dress parade which was
about to be held the Adjutant-General did not
have any right to command the troops. The re-
port says.
In taking and retaining a position among a
crowd of turbulent students at or near third
base, uselessly interfering with the game when
ample and suitable grounds were available,
Gen. Watts showed serious lack OF Judgment
and disregard for the rights OF others. His
ordering the battalion forward for the purpose
OF clearing the field was an assumption Of au.
thority that. WAS unwise. unnecessary. and un-
warranted"
The board recommends the attention OF the
General Assembly be called to the case by the
Governor. 1t further recommends that the
COMMANDMENT. Chief publish a general order
reprimanding Gen. Watts for his conduct on
that occasion. 1t is recommended that Private
Fishburn. who drew y gun on n student. be dis
missed from the State service in Disgrace. 1t is
understood that the Governor will act favor
ably on the recommendations.

tho President to-day. This was his second con-
ference with the President since bis appoint

consultation the President gave Gen. Woodford
a protty clear idea of the outlines OF the prelim-
mary policy no IL expected to pursue In endeav-
oring to settle tho Cuban question, and tho
Minister was urged by the President TO depart
for Spain at the earliest moment practicable.
Gen. Woodford would have been ready TO start
by this time, but upon learning that the Queen
would not DO In Madrid until September or Octo-
Der and that his credentials must be presented
TO her in persen, no delayed the date Of his de-
parture. which has now been fixed upon a. July
