Finlanders.
A number Of people were in there
last evening and Haapa was crazy
drunk. Apparently, without justifica-

that Hill had insulted him. He pulled
u his revolver and aimed a shot at
Hill. but the bartender knocked the gun

Meeting of the Board of Trustees of

The board of trustees of Howard college met yesterday morning in the Commercial club rooms to formulate the report of the college, which is to be submitted to the an- nual convention of the Baptist church at Opelika tomorrow. There were present pr. B. D. Gray, president of the board; Dr. r. M. Roof, president of the college; A. D. Smith, s. P. Foylkes, c. C. Jones, E. F. Enslen.
 The board decided to recommend and urge upon the convention that immediate steps be taken to raise the sS3,000 debt which is now hanging over the church, .s20 .OOO being bonded and A3,000 of it being a floating debt,
 There are over forty associations in the state composed of churches which are io- cated close enough together, whose purpose 1t is to assist Howard college. If each of these associations could raise something less than $l 600 the debt could be paid and freed from this handicap, Howard college would immediately begin to rise. An agent will be employed and sent out through the state for the purpose of getting the Bap- lists thoroughly Interested In this great work.
 If the debt is raised the college will then be free to start the raising of an endow- ment fund, though 1t is possible that this may be started before the debt is fully paid. There is one gentleman in Mahila

TO LOOK FOR BODIES.
Effort Will be Made to Recover Re
 mains of Spanish Generals.

Santiago de Cuba November IA Span- ish military commission of five officers, headed by Brigadier- General Don Luis Val derama, arrived here today from Havana, bringing letters from Major-General Wade, of the United Statets evacuation commis- sion, to General Leonard Wood, requesting the latter to extend all couretsy and as- sistance to the Spanish officers in their ef- forts to recover the bodies of Major-Gen- eral Vera Del Ray and Brigadier-Generai Santocilies The former was killed at the battle of El Caney on July l. He had been wounded in both legs, and while being borne away in a litter was struck by a shell, which killed him, his son, his brother and four men bearing the litter. He was re- garded as one of the most capable officers in command of Spanish troops in Cuba. General Sanctocillies was killed near Bay amo, province of Santiago, by the insur- gents at the outset of the insurrection three years ago. General Valderama, after re- covering the body of Vera Del Rey, will go to Manzanilo, west of Bayamo, where he will have the assistance of Colonel Petit, the United States commander, to search for lne body of Sanctocillies.
 Lieutenant Hanna, General Woods aide, with an escort and the Spanish officers visited El Caney to locate if possible the place of interment of Vera Del Key and the remains will be escorted to the city by a battalion of the United States infantry and a band with all the honcrs due major general.
 General yalderrama who has been in comand in the Holguni division says that smallpox there is not so virulent or wide spread as has been reported.
 Today 250 Spaniards arrived here by way of Cienfuegos to work in the mines of Baiquiri, where the Cubans refuse to work, claiming that the work is too hard.

 The board of trustees in their report to- the Baptist assoc ation will give Prest-' dent Roof an unqualified endorsement for the great work he has done during the year he has been president of Howard. Out Of the regular income of the college all or the professors salaries have been paid, all of the interest on the college debt has been settled, and $500 has been invested in new desks to replace the old benches which were formerly in use, and a number of im- provements have been made in the build ings themselves. This report shows that under Dr. Roofs management the college Is more than self-sustaining, and that the only thing retarding it's growth and useful ness is the debt that is hanging oyer it.
 The report to the association will also show that 119 students have matriculated this fall. nineteen of them being theologi- cal students. This is about the same num- Der the college had in November of last year.

Carries in It's Hold Maria Teresa Guns
 and the Hobson Raft.

Newport News, Va, November 7.-Ihe collier I.eonidias and the repair ship Vui- can arrived in Hampton Roads today. They started from Santiago with the Maria Teresa.
 Officers from both vessels give substan- tiaIly the same story of the laundering as t4,at given out by Lieutenant-Commande Harris who was in command of the Maria Teresa and the last man to leave her before she was abandoned in the terrific gale off Salvador. These officers speak in the high est terms of the brave and gallant work of the seamen during the storm and say that officers and men acted nobly.
 In the hold of the Leonidias are twenty three of the guns of the destroyed Spanish fleet, ranging in size from to Il inches. Some of these are still loaded, as the charges could not be extricated. The raft upon which Lieutenant Hobson left the Merrimac after he had blown up the boat in the mouth of Santiago harbor is also in the hold, though somewhat disfigured from a shell.
