SIMPSON WILL NOT ROW.
James H. Simpson, bow Of the Yale
Henley crew. and who has stroked the
Yale crew in all the practice so far this
season, has given UP training and says
that he will not row so long as the
present methods of training are contin-
ued He claims that Box Cook changes
the stroke too often, and says that he
told Captain Bailey and Mr.. Cook last
fall when the training began that he
would row if they would hold to one
stroke. Simpson says that the crew is
not now in such good condition as 1t
was six weeks ago.
Bob Cooks says that Simpson has re-
tired because he sees that he has not
mastered the new stroke, a change to
which has been anticipated for some
time.
In the absence of Simpson Saturday,
Langford, last years stroke, was put
back in that place, Langford's place at
No. 6 being taken by F. Allen, fresh
man.

The new comic opera, Priscilla" will
be given a second presentation at the
Hyperion on Saturday, May 1, under
the auspices of the Women's Seamen' S

Why didn't you speak for yourself,
John?"
This answer of Priscilla, on which the
story of the "Courtship of Miles Stand

Alden was a maternal ancestor Of the
poet Longfellow.
This lyric of Old Colony times is one
of the best and smoothest of the great
poets works. In the opera the story
is followed in the main with the nee
essary addition Of fictitious characters
to round out the plot.

THE STRUGGLE =oE=THE CUBANS FOR LIBERTY,

from the railroad track. Weyler burn ed the houses of the pacificos in Pinar del Rio, slaughtered a few hundred in- offensive people, captured the women and children and upon his return to Havana issued proclamation an- nouncing that Pinar del Rio had been "paeified."
 About the same time Antonio Maceo came down from the mountains with an army of 1000 men, intending to recross the trocha and join forces with Gomez, whose young son accompanied him. It was while thus engaged that Maceo was struck down by an assassin through the connivance of pr. Zertucha and Wey- ler's palace representative.
 Prior to this, Jose Maceo had fallen in battle in the east and a second broth- CT had been forced to leave because of his numerous wounds.
 Maeeo's death did no more to retard the progress of the rebellion than did the death of Marti, but it served to save Weyler from recall and the govern ment made much of it. Maceo was suc- ceeded by General Ducasse and later by General Rivera. After the latter was captured the Ducasse brothers divided the western army and approached Ha- Vana by three different routes.
 Weyler. mortified by his inability to conquer the Cubans. began relentless warfare upon the paciiicos. Early in the spring of the present year guerrillas were sent out in four provinces to burn the houses of the Cuban people and to enforce Weyler's recommendation order.
 The result is known to every news paper reader. More than 10000 Cubans have been starved to death and other thousands have died from exposure and disease. Three months ago it looked as though Weyler's campaign of cruelty might succeed, but Gomez. re-enforced by General Garcia and other able mili- tary men from the United States, had prepared for systematic warfare, and at an opportune moment the march westward was begun.
 At the present moment there are 10,- 900 well armed Cubans in the neighbor- hood of Havana, 5000 to the west of Havana and an army of 30,000 men is strung out through the provinces to the east.
 During two years of the present war Cuba has been devastated more than after five years of the previous insur- rection, or indeed at any period of that weary contest During the ten years war the volunteers were a military force dreaded alike at Madrid and in Havana. They literally dictated the policy of the government. They were turbulent, cruel and aggressive mill tary power under the form of patri- otic body of home troops. They made and unmade captains general of the is-> land, and the ministry in Spain bowed to their behests. Now the volunteers of Cuba are relatively small element among the Spanish troops. They are not aggressive, and they have little to do with the conduct of the war.
 The war has been a costly one, but the Cubans never have faltered, and. while hoping for assistance from the United States, they have conducted an entirely independent campaign.
 That they will gain their freedom ev- cry Cuban implicitly believes, and pre- diction is made that the new year will find the flag of Cuba Libre floating over tl,a Ha.ns of -Morro castle.

bans. The cane grinding season was about to open, and Gomez issued an or- der that no cane should be ground any where. The Cuban soldiers rigidly en- forced the order, and it proved seri- ous blow to the enemy. Gomez enter ed and passed through Santa Clara province without interference, and for a time it was feared that he intended to attack the capital itself. Troops were called from the front, and addi- tional defenses were constructed around Havana. Campos made a acquisition for more men, and they were sent by thousands. Not less than 29.000 arriv. ed in the bay of Havana in October, and by the end of November 900 had been poured into the island since the beginning of hostilities in the previous February. This, added to the regu- lars and volunteers, made a grand to- tai of 190000 Spanish soldiers to op- pose less than 25.000 Cubans
 General Gomez's command consisted of but 5000 men, only 2,000 of whom were armed with effective weapons. He marched to- the west as he pleased de- stroying everything in his path. Cam pos remained. meanwhile, tied up in Havana. Gomez and Maceo together crossed the western trocha into Pinar del Rio province, and there Maeeo es- tablished himself in the natural for tresses afforded by the hills. His force gradually was increased until it had swollen to an army of 5000 men, most of them armed with machetes and two- fifths mounted. Muskets and ammuni- tion were scarce.
 Gomez parted with Maceo a few days before Christmas, 1895, and moved back to the eastward, passing close to Ha- vana. The government was seriously crippled, and Spain was in white heat of rage.
 Campos was recalled. His humilia- ton at Bayamo had dscredited him, and the extraordinary achievement of Gomez in marching back and forth within cannon shot of Havana capped the climax.
 General Marin succeeded Campos, but his forces were cut to pieces and put to reut at Candelaria and Artemisa, near the western trocha. and Marin was speedily superseded by Weyler.

march and capturing the towns and forts of Altagracia, Fl Mulato and San Geronimo, together with a large quantl- ty of war munitions and a number of horses. The rainy season then was at it's height, and the Cuban general ceased active operations for time and permitted his antagonists to wear them- selves out searching for him.
 Marti's death made it necessary to se- lect successor to the head of the rev. olutionary party, and the choice fell up- on Tomas Estrada Palma, ex-president of the Cuban republic and resident of the state of New York. Headquarters were opened at 66 Broadway, afterward removed to 56 New street. Several ef- forts were made by Spanish agents to connect Senor Palma with the sending of war material to the Cubans in vio- lation of the neutrality laws, but it was impossible to secure any evidence against him, and he was never legally accused. 4tbt ljif
 As soon as the rainy season of 1895 was over Spain began pouring more troops into the island. Thirty thousand had been sent up to June and 2O,00O more in July. The total of the Cuban army did not then comprise more than 15,000 men, and not more than 5000 were armed. It became necessary to supply them with rifles and ammuni- tion and expeditions were fitted out from time to time, sailing from Phila- delphia, New York, Key West and other points along the southern coast The great majority of these enterprises were successful, and the insurgents gradually were supplied with what they needed to carry on their war against the Spaniards. The only complete fail- ure was the Competitor expedition, which was captured and several of the crew drowned Those who were cap- tured were thrown into prison and still

General Weyler's appointment was announced Feb. [. 1896. He had carte blanche to conduct the affairs of gov- eminent in Cuba. His dictum was to be supreme, both over the army and the people.
 This modern Pizarro reached Havana Feb 16. His first act was to have a large map of Cuba prepared, on which the whereabouts and movements of the insurgents were marked by small pins. General Weyler conducted an indoor form of campaign for several months, moving the pins from place to place and following them with larger pins, which represented his own forces. He chased the rebels all over the map and event. ually drove them into the sea.
 Then Weyler went out to reconnoiter, after establishing a strict press censor ship. In Pinar del Rio he narrowly cs- capped capture when in a moment of excitement he departed about 200 yards
