Details of IL New Anti-CiviI-Service
Organization Made Public.

LEXINGTON, KY, Dec, ga New York
man who held an important position in
Washington D. c., under President Har
rison has been in Lexington to organize a
state branch of the secret association
known as THE Americans The object of
the association is to cause the repeal of all
civil-service laws which affect the distri
button of federal patronage. The organiza-
ton is to be national in scope, but is to
be operated on the plan of well-organized
political party. Counties will be organized
and will have their headquarters and ex-
ecutive committees. The chairmen of these
committees will form congressional district
committees, and the chairman of congress
sional district committees will be state COM
mtteemen, and the chairmen of the state
committees will form the national commit
tee. Every detail of the organization has
been perfected and all that is left to do is
to secure members. They are not only
pledged to absolute secrecy, but are re-
quired to take an oath that they will do
all in their power toward bringing about
repeal of the civi-senyice laws, that they
will not work for the. reelection of any
congressman who supports the civil service
or for any legislator who votes for any
United States senator who favors civil
service.

Fortune Greatly Exaggerated.

returned from Khyber pass after punish
ing, with slight opposition, the Zakka-
Khels in the Bazaar valley. Military opera
tons on the frontier are now concluded
Every Afridi and Orakzai valley has been
visited. 1t now appears that the enemy's
loss has been more severe than was at first
believed, and out of all proportion to its
possible fighting strength. Their trade
route for the necessaries of life has been
closed and their autumn tillage prevented.
The complete submission of the Orakzais
is now accomplished.
"Many hitherto unknown strategical from
tier routes have been surveyed and mapped
out. The vaunted prestige of the Afrldis
has been lowered and their punishment has
paved the way for the permanent settle
ment of the country 1t is firmly believed
that, cut off from India and threatened
with a reinvasion of their country in the
spring, they will now submit. 1t is also
expected that the internal friction result
ing from the operations will prove almost
as severe a punishment as the operations
themselves"

HOWARD GOULD ENGAGED.
Guests at Recent Dinner Think He
VIII Marry Miss ClemmOns.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-That Christmas
dinner of Howard Goulds was something
more than a mere piece of charming hospi-
tally, it seems. There was method in. the
young mllionaire's hospitality. There was
a motive for the luxurious dinner in the
giltroom of Holland House. 1t will have
been noticed that one of the guests at this
select entertainment was Miss Katherine
Clemnnons who was present with her moth
err And now 1T appears, on the word or
an intimate friend of Howard Gould, that
Miss Clemmons was really the guest OF
honor, and that the dinner had been de-
signed as a fitting occasion for the an
nouncement that she and the host or the
evening engaged to be married. But
the announcement was not made; tnlt 10
1t was not made formally in so iiany words,
although there not one OF the guests
who did not thoroughly understand the
situation. Still, the announcement was eX-
pected. and that It did not come occasioned
surprise ana a shade of disappointment.
Howard Gould himself appeared 10 regret
il. although he did not explain why he mad
changed his mind in this particular. NO
one cared 10 ask him. but the absence from
the dinner of his cider brother George.
the head Of the Gould family, was thread
that ran through every fabric of conjecture
woven by his guests.
Miss Catherine Clemmons is the young
lady over whom Buffalo Bill and Mr. Fred
May had What is called IA personal encoun-
ter in Chamberlain's restaurant n couple
of years ago She was at that time q pro-
tegc of the ''W'ld West" and with Buff
faic Iill as a chaperon appeared upon the
stage in a new play. which Mr.. May took
the liberty of criticisng. The Nebraska
statesman and warrior got the better OF

TEACHERS OF HISTORY.
Convention of University Professors
and Other Learned Men.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 2S-Learned men
from all over the land assembled in Cleve-
land to-day, the occasion being the thir-
teenth annual meeting of the American His
torical Association, which is holding it's
second congress west of tho Alleghenies. Mr.
James F. Rhodes, second vice president, of
Boston, called the meeting to order and pre-
sided in the absence of President James
Schouler The discussion was opened by
George P. Winship, of Providence, r. l.,
who spoke upon the subject: THE Discov-
cry of John Cabot" a brief and very in
teresting paper. He was followed by Prof.
E. p. Cheyney, of the University of Penn
sylvania. in discussion as to what extent
sources may profitably be used in the
teaching Of history below the graduate
school. He urged the value of illustration
writers. The thread was taken up by Prof.
A B. Hart, of Harvard University, and
supported the position of Prof. Cheyney,
urging an examination of public documents
and private letters. Prof. ]. A. WOODBURY.,
of Indiana University. did not place great
rather the study of later writers. The gen.
eral discussion on this subject closed the
morning session. a
The afternoon session was devoted to dis
cussion of papers. Rev. II. w. Hubert of
Cleveland, spoke on THE Philosophical Dis
cal discourse. Prof. James |. Good, of Read
ing, followed with the subject The Found
ing Of the German Reform Church in the
United States" which was devoted to his
torical data. The concluding paper CT the
afternoon, which was very entertaining, was
a personal description of Prof. Samuel
Macauiey Jackson, of New York, of his re-
cent trip through the Zwingli country.

ABANDONED TO REBELS
"PACIFIED" PROVINCE IN CUBA SUR
RENDERED. TO INSURGENTS,
Who Are Building Towns and Manu-
factories and Obeying No Laws
Except Those of the Republic.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. ga gentleman
from Cuba, who has been in Manzanila, in
one of the so-called pacified provinces, says
that in reality the war has aot begun there,
for the country has been abandoned to in
surgents who have built towns which are
supplied with abundant provisions from the
neighboring estates established by rebels
who even manufacture gunpowder and
have arms factories, tanneries and shoe fac
the most indispensable articles. Spanish
authority is not recognized and the in
habitants are comfortably settled under the
authority of the Cuban Republic. Occa-
sionally the Spanish conveys pass over the
high roads, but the insurgents go out and
meet them and fighting occurs on the roads,
the patriots always taking the offensive.
The poor Spanish soldiers are in such a
condition that much sympathy is aroused,
they being mostly boys thin, pale and i'll,
and complaining of the wretched quality of
their scanty rations and of not receiving
any pay for months Only very sick SOL
diers are admitted to the Spanish hospitals,
and others, who are really i'll, are compelled
to sleep in courtyards, exposed to the
weather Their condition is pitiful in the
extreme arousing sympathy among the in
surgents, who know that these mere lads
have been conscrpted and sent to fight
them under conditions which no veteran
troops would stand without mutiny The
Cuban Republic, he says, is a fact. and
over considerable part of the island its
authority is felt.
