THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Good Progress Made in the Matter
Except in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-In reply to
an inquiry into the present status and
prospects of the National University
enterprise, Ex-Governor John Wesley
1oyt, Chairman of the National Com
| mittee, says good progress seems to be
making in all quarters, unless it be in
| the Senate.
There opposition has occurred of eccle-
siastical origin in committee, and this,
| in connection with the other circum-
| stances, has delayed action.
| The most notable of the many aids
actually rendered to the National Uni
versity Committee in the past are:
First-The voluntary gift of 81 800 by
Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst of California and
District of Columbia for the salary of
the Chairman's Secretary during the
year just passed.
| Second-The support accorded by the
| George Washington Memorial Associa-
ton, under the lead of Mrs. Ellen A.
Richardson, Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst.
Mrs. ex-senator Bryce of Ohio and other
distinguished women of the country.
J The immediate object of this George
Washington Memorial Association is
the raising of a quarter of million dol
lars LOT the HfSt NATIONAL University
| building to be erected on the site select
ed by Washington himself and preserved
for university purposes in the pending
bill.
| Third-The offer just now made by
General j. E. Henderson, exUnited
States Senator from Missouri, and now
of this city, to be one of one hundred TO
pay into the treasury of the university
81 600 each when Congress shall have
done as much. His object is to en-
courage the creation of a special fund of
| $l0O, 900 from some shares in the uni
versity, and there is no objection on his
part to the taking Of any number of such
shares by any one contributor, while
preferring in the interest of the cause of
| the university that the distribution
should be as wide as the country itself.
| The new committee assumes that this
example of General Henderson will be
promptly followed by liberal friends of
the enterprise, and that the institution,
when once established by Congress, will.
as Washington believed. become so pop
ular as a center of patriotic gifts as to
relieve Congress from the demands of
| Government appropriations.

are referred to Ex-Governor Wesley
Hoyt. Chairman Of the committee,

GREETED ROCHEFORT.
Two Thousand People Assembled
to See Him Enter the Prison.

PARIS, Feb. 20-Two thousand peo-
pie assembled this afternoon in front
of the Saint Pelagie Prison. we'll known
as a prison for offending journalists,
to greet Henri Rochefort, editor of the
''1ntranSi geant," on his ent ering to
serve a sentence of five days imprison-
ment for libeling Jose Reinach. Conser-

egne and editor of the "Republique

dred Dreyfus by the use of forged doe
uments.
At first there were no signs of force
TO preserve order, but as the crowd in
creased company of Republican
Guards headed by buglers and drum
mers. a detachment of police and two
squadrons Of cuirassiers were drawn
up on each side of the square in front
of the prison. The troops were re-
ceived with cries of ..vive rArmee."
1t was O'Clock before NJ Rochefort
arrived. The crowd fiocked around his
carriage, shouting ''Vive Rochefort''
and ''Vive la Commune" the police be-
ing powerless to restrain them.

pie walked to the prison gates. About
fifty of his friends, including Ernest

companied him inside the building

pie.

outside Havana Province. Consul Bar
ker of Sagua La Grande and Consul
Brice of Matanzas, who came here to
learn the particulars of the Maine ex
plosion, left, it is said, without calling
on the Consul General. The reason
given was that they felt they had not
been treated fairly by the Consul-Gen-
eral. Each expected aid for his district
from the American supplies, but re-
ceived none. The statement is made
that it is their intention to appeal di-
rectly to the American State Depart
ment, and to ask that food be consigned
to them instead of the Havana Consul
ate.
The incident has caused some COM
ment among Americans here, who regret
it. Consul Rrice says he is sick of the
sights forced on him during the last two
years. He has reported the facts or the
case to Washington. and believes his
district entitled to a share Immediately
in the aid offered. Both Consuls say
this distress must grow daily, and that
death will keep pace with it unless re-
lief is afforded
Consul-General Lee when these mat
tiers were brought to his attention. re-
piled that there was not the slightest
intention to neglect the reconcentrados
in the eastern provinces. He has de-
puted much of the work of distribution
to Miss Clara Barton. who has the con-
fidence of all parties, and who is almost
constantly at work in conjunction with
the special agent of the Consul-General.
To-day divers recovered the cipher
code book, the log book of the Maine
and many official and private papers.
Neither Spanish nor Cuban divers
will be employed.

plaint seems to have prevailed everywhere, from Santiago to San Francisco, but so far we have never yet seen an itemized re- ] port of the kind of ratons the amount issued to each soldier and every one is left in doubt about the matter
 It is well known that the soldiers in the confederate army seldom complained of their rations in public, never in print, as it was taken for granted that their govern | ment was doing the best it could. Occas- ionally it was a feast when a federal sup ply train was captured, and there was a slight change made on a successful bat tlefield by taking haversacks from dead federal soldiers.
 After the first year of the war, the daily rations of confederate soldier, when marching or fighting, were one pint of corn meal, one-fourth pound of bacon. If camp ing, in addition to this he drew one-fourth pound of sugar, or one-half pint of molas- ses, three-fourths of a pound of black bugs,
 one ounce of salt and one-eighth of pound
 of soap, and on Christmas day ''jigger''
 of pine top whiskey.
 When the army under General E. Kirby
 Simth invaded Kentucky in 1862, they had
 ten days rations issued to them and start ed afoot over the mountains to get in the rear of Cumberland Gap, leaving their wagon and supply train at Big Creek Gap. At the end of the sixth day, there was not six pounds of rations in the whole di- vision. General Smith, to supply the men with something to eat. bought whole fields of corn, which were in the roasting ear stage, and the soldiers were told to help themselves. As the soldiers had no cook ing vessels, they built fires and attempted to roast it, the result being that it was burned black on the outside and raw on the inside.
 It was while this siege was going on, Private Dan Brown, of this city, remark ed in hearing of General Cleburne that he had just had a splendid breakfast Upon being asked by General Cleburne where he got his breakfast and what it consist ed of. he replied very promptly that it con- sisted of three canteens of duck-pond soup and a smoke.
 If the soldier at Santiago or any camp thinks he is living on short rations, let him compare it with the rations furnished con- federate soldiers, and he will see that he is being feasted, if not fed on the fat of the land

General Stanton has turned over to the president all the papers relating to the re- cent unpleasantness growing out of the re- fusal of a Texas regiment to receive pay from Major Lynch because he is colored.
 The president has taken no definite action beyond expressing approval of General Stanton's course in sending a sharp dls- patch to the commanding paymaster of. that department, stating in effect that as Ma)or Lynch had been regularly commissioned by the president as an army paymaster, the troops must take their pay from him or else go without pay. Thus the matter stands with the papers before the president. There is the possibility that new question may arise on the point of insubordination Tn reference to receiving pay from paymasters regularly commissioned to make payments.
