TIGERS SKOWED SNIP And DASH q.
The Way They Went Through Signal
Practice Was Encouraging.

Princeton, N. j.. Nov. 19.-The Tigers
this morning practiced signals, which
was the only work the coaches required
and the snap and dash SHOWN was most
encouraging to both spectators ana
coaches. Baird went out and worked with
the team and Trainer Jack McMasters
says he will be in good shape for the
game tomorrow.
AT 1:20 the team and coaches left for
New York. A large and enthusiastic
crowd of students gathered at the
campus and showed the team by
songs and cheers that rney will give
their hearty support to the Tigers on
the g,ridiron tomorrow. A number of
students accompanied the team, but
the majority of them will leave on the
undergraduate special tomorrow
morning. Every Princeton supported is
confident of victory, and with this as
an incentive to draw them to New Ha-
ven, the orange and black will prob
ably have better representation there
tomorrow than ever before at a game
away from home.

1rONTEVIDEo IN A PANIC.
A Report That DIR. Obes Has Been Shot
Stormy Session of Deputies.


Montevideo, Nov 19.-The city is in
panic over the incidents at to-day's
session of the chamber of deputies and
the report that DR.. Miguel Herra y
Obes, minister to Lintercand, had been
shot with a revolver. In the chamber
DR.. Obes made violent attacks upon
Senor Cuestas, who assumed the presi-
dency Of the republic ad interim on
the assassination of Senior j. Idiarte
Borda, who was shot by Arerdondo dur
ing the national fete on August 25 last.
On April 20 Senator Cuestas issued a
declaration Of policy, promising to con-
duct the administration with strict
economy, to purge the public depart
ments, especially the department of
customs, and religiously to pay the in
terest on the public debt. At that time
he expressed the hope that the depart
ment of customs would yield a least
five million francs monthly
To-day DR.. Obes called upon him for
a more explicit statement as to his pro-
gramme in the event of his election as
president Senor Eduardo M Eachen,
minister Of the government, refused to
reply, whereupon Dr. Obes presented
a motion demanding the resignation Of
the president of the republic ad in
term.
1t is said that if this motion is adopt
ed by the deputies Senior Cuestas will
dissolve the chamber. All sorts OF ru-
mors are af1oat, many citizens have
closed their houses and the troops are
held in readiness against outbreak.

LOOK OUT FOR CROOKS TO-DAY.
They Are Expected to Come in on the
Special Trains.

1t had been expected that a number
of crooks attracted to New Haven by
the large crowd in town for to-day's s
game would be rounded up by the de-
tectives last night, but at midnight not
a one of these suspicious characters
had been arrested and none had been
seen beyond those who live in New Ha-
ven and who are well known to the po-
lice. Chief of Police Ginty of Danbury,
who has considerable experience in
dealing with crooks who attend the
Danbury fair, and who from expert
ence is able to spot many dangerous
characters, came to New Haven yester-
day afternoon and was with the local
detectives last night. He will assist
them to-day.
Captain Cowles stated last night that
he did not expect the greater part Of
the crooked crowd until the special
trains begin arriving this forenoon He
thinks that they will come and go with
the greater crush of the crowd. Cap
tain Cowles emphasizes the advisa bility
Of all residents of New Haven keeping
their houses locked and advises all tc
be on the lookout for the light fingered
gentry.

GERMANY'S SUMMARY ACT
NOT NOTIFIED OF CONTEM-
PLATED SEIZ URE OF KIAoUCHAU,

Such Proceeding is Said to be n FIagrant
Breach of International Courtesy-Ger-
many's Object in Occupying the Island
is to Use it as Lever for Compel ing
Trade Concessions.
Washington, Now 19-Mr WI Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister, has receiv-
ed the following official statement from
Pekin relative to the seizure of Kiaou-
chau Island: Upon the killing of two
German missionaries by bandits in the
district Of Ku Yeh, in Shantaung, de-
cree was issued peremptorily commando
ing the governor of Shantung to order
the high officials Of that province to
take immediate measures for the arrest
and punishment of the offenders. On
the 18th inst. the governor reported the
arrest of four culprits, and this was
communicated to the German minister.
But German warships had on the
14th advanced to Kiaouchau, landed
troops, and after occupying all the high
hours to retire. The German minister
did not give Tsuniligi Yuan any notice.
On the evening Of the 18th a telegram
from the minister superintendent of the
northern ports, giving report of this
occurrence, occasioned the greatest sur
prise. China thereupon ordered the
governor of Shantung to keep the gar
rison under strict control, to withdraw
the troops to positions outside the linn
its of the island, and to enjoin them not
to make any movement without instruc-
tions."
This statement places a new complex
ion on the press cables in that 1t indi-
Gates that the Chinese government had
already taken active steps for the pun
ishment Of the murderers of the Ger
man missionaries before the landing Of
the German troops at Kiaouchau and
the occupation of the fort there. The
remarkable thing In connection with
Germany's summary action is the fact
set forth in the foregoing cable that the
Chinese foreign office was given no no.
tification that the seizure was contem-
plated.
Such a proceeding is said to be fla
grant breach Of International comfy,
and is interpreted in some diplomatic
used her influence to protect the island.
1t is believed that possibly Germany's
object is to use the occupation Of the
island as a lever for compelling trade
concessions for Germany.

Wins Two Years in Succession and There's
fore Owns the Trophy.
New York, Nov. 19.-This was Hack
ney day at the horse show and many
fine specimens were on exhibition. The
weather was clear and cool, and the
attendance in the day and night was
all that could be desired by the. man
agement. The question of the profess
sional has been less prominent this year
than might have been expected. That
is due largely to the fact that Charley
Bates has monopolized nearly all the
ribbons that were offered to other than
amateurs One Of the. most ardent am
ateurs, talking about this, said:
Bates is a professional, of course,
just as much asiothers, but do not be-
lieve that any one grudges him sim
gle ribbon he got, because he amply de-
serves everything that comes his, way.
Such perfection Of detail in appoints
ment and such superlative horsefesh as
he buys are not gotten together without
the expenditure Of much money and la
bor"
The American Hackney challenge cup
was taken this year "for keeps" by
Frederic c. Stevens with Clifton H., as
the same horse won it last year, and
the conditions this year dictate that a
horse winning the trophy two years in
succession becomes the owner of the
cup.

DIOCESAN CHOIR GUILD.



nual Festival.
Middletown, Conn. Nov. 19-The sec
ond annual festival of the Diocesan
choir guild of Connecticut, was held at
the Church of the Holy Trinity, this
city, tonight The church was crowd
ed and many visitors were present
from other cities. A platform was
built from the chancel extending into
the body of the church upon which the
200 or more singers were seated. The
singers include the choirs of the Holy
Trinity church of this city, Trinity of
New Haven, st. Andrews of Meriden,
st. John and Trinity, Bridgeport. Bish-
op Brewster, who was invited to deliver
the address was unable to be present,
and it was preached by Rev. E. c.
Acheson of this city.
A long professional of the various
choirs to the hymn "Rejoce Ye Pure in
Heart" began the evening service. The
procession was headed by the crucifer
and the several choirs carried banners,
which made a brilliant appearance. 1t
reminded one of the entrance of the
various guilds in the "Meistersinger."
The entire service was sung by the
united chorus, and taken as a whole
it was very successful. The best work
was done in the anthem by Gounod.
"Jesu, Word of God Incarnate" and in
the Smart '@Te Deum," which is stock
feature of festival programmes. More
solo work would have made variety in
the service, which was under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Davis of the Middletown
choir.
The work of the New Haven choir
was admirable. The superior quality
of the boys voices was noticeable in
the procession. 1t was brilliant and at
the same time pure and true. The bass
and tenors did noble work in the an
thems. The Rev. Mr.. Bispham sang the
services both morning and evening.
The Trinity choir returned last night
about quarter past eleven, and reported
most enjoyable day. A long rehear-
sal was held in the afternoon, but the
rest of the day was free and Middle
town was thoroughly investigated by
the youthful choristers.

DEMANDS se10, 900 INDEMNITY.
Hayti Must Pay This to Germany or Force
May ba Used.

May ba Used.
Berlin, Nov. 19.-The North German
Gazette, referring to the dispute be-
tween Germany and Hayti in regard to
the alleged false Imprisonment of a
German citizen named Lueders says:
without doubt the Haytian author
tiles have infringed the constitution
and the laws of the republic entitle
Lueders to German nationality, which
gives him a perfect right to the protec-
ton of the empire. When Count
Schwerin, the German minister, ad-
dressed himself directly to the presi-
dent of Hayti, he had already several
times vainly demanded Lueder's release
from the ministry of foreign affairs
and the intervention of the United
States minister arose from his friend
ship for Lueders and fears for the
safety Of all white men in Hayti.
'Thereport that Gernisny had broken
off diplomatic relations with Hayti,
placing Germans under the protection
of the American flag is untrue Count
Schwerin is still at Port Au Prince and
the negotiations regarding the question
of compensation in which Germany de-
mands 10000 will be carried on from
Berlin Should Hayti refuse compli-
ance with Germany's just demands
Germany will be compelled to lend
weight to her demands in another
way"

Speaks Before Three Thousand Persons at
Cornell University.

Ithaca, N. Y, Nov 19.-United States
Minister to Spain Hannis Taylor deliv-
cred an address on Cuba before two
thousand people in Library hall Of Cor
nell university tonight. The audience
was in touch with the speaker and fire.
quently interrupted him with applause.
MIR. Taylor's address was moderate, but
earnest throughout He maintained
that no people made a nobler fight for
freedom against greater odds than the
Cubans are doing. He referred to his
critics only to say that he wished them
no harm. The selfish economic policy
of Spain produced in Cuba an economic
crisis SO acute as to make the struggle
for bread the real cause of the present
revolution.
During the dark days Of the Competi-
tor case, when war was imminent, Mr..
Taylor said, he dropped his representa-
tive character and went to CASTELAR, as
friend to friend to plead with Canoyas
to grant some kind of honest home rule
to Cuba as the basis Of police and re-
conciliation. Canovas promised that he
would do so and then issued preten-
tous scheme that was all a sham. The
real difficulty was the firm determina-
tion of the Spanish nation as a whole
never to grant Cuba the right to govern
herself and the equally firm resolve up
on the part of the Cubans so long
scorned and hunted like wild beasts,
not to accept that form of autonomy
now offered, however genuine it might
be- For these two reasons he said, the
proposal of peaceful settlement be-
tween the two combatants was now an
absolute impossibility, and the desper-
ate efforts being made by the Sagasta
ministry We're simply a despairing en-
terprise that promised nothing what
ever.

CUB.4 AND FINANCES.
President Discusses With Cabinet How
They Shall be Treated.


Washington, Nov. 19.-The cabinet
was in session for two hours to-day.
The two subjects which engaged the
special attention of the cabinet were
those relating to the manner in which
the Cuban problem and the question OF
the finances should be handled in the
presidents message. The opinion was
generally expressed that the Cuban sit
uation as it affects the United States
was even more favorable than could be
expected, and there was especially good
feeling over the release of the crew of
the Competitor.
This and other concessions were ac-
cepted as indicating a genuine desire
on the part of the Sagasta administra-
ton to meet the wishes of the authori-
ties of this country and bring the war
to a hasty termination. If there was
any doubt expressed as to Spains main
tenance of this line of policy it was not
made public, but there was no dissent
from the opinion that so long as that
country should continue in her course
of Cancellation there was nothing left
for the administration but to encourage
it.
A wide variety of opinion was devel-
oped among the members of the cabinet
as to the policy to be recommended on
the financial question. There were in
| deed almost as many views expressed
on the details involved in the discus
sion of this question as there were cab
| met members present. The differences
related, however, largely to details and
much of the conversation turned upon
the probable difficulties of asking con-
gress to unite upon any line Of policy.

have informed Marshal Blanco that he
should permit the expectation of the
10000 bales now in market These are
valued at S4000,000 The manufacturers

considerations have been strongly
