Their National Conven tion Begins
at Columbian University,

The second annual convention of the
National Society Of the Children of the
American Revolution convened yesterday
at . p. m at the Columbian University
At an earlier hour an informal reception
was held in the lecture room. which was
attended by the members of the society
and also by the members of the Society
of the Daughters of the Revolution, who
are in the city.
After an hour or more of social inter-
course the assemblage was addressed by
Rev. DR.. B. L. Whitman, president of the
university who spoke of the causes
which led to the colonial war and of the
heroism and sacrifices made by the men
who battled for American independence
The business session was conducted by
Mrs. Daniel Lothrop, of Boston, the
founder of the society. The roll call by
States showed that thirty-nine States and
126 chapters were represented by
delegates. The session was taken up
with the consideration of the reports of
the members of the board Of control and
the regents of the chapters. The reports
were most satisfactory, showing the or
ganization to be in a f1ourishing condi
i. ton and rapidly increasing in member
ship.
The society will hold two business meet
ings tomorrow at the Columbian Univer-
sity the first at 10 a. M, and the next at
2 p. m.
On Tuesday a public meeting will be
held at the Columbia Theater at 10 a. m,
when patriotic addresses will be made.
Wednesday will be devoted to sight

On Friday the members of the society
will visit the tomb of Washington at
Mount Vernon. For this occasion two
parties have been organized, one of which
will go to Mount Vernon by steamer and
the other by way of the electric cars.
On their return TO the city a brief session
will be held and then the convention will
adjourn.

The facts referred TO are as follows:
On February 3 Gen. Carrillo received in
formation that near Caunao and also
near the Spanish fort at Nuevas de
Jobosi two Spanish columns were mas
sacreing the paciicoes and committing
awful barbarities. Immediately after re-

the victims already killed and the Cuban

prisoner by the Spaniards about two
months ago. Infante was dying. He was

Infante said that when he was made
prisoner he was locked up in the fort
and tortured to compel him to guide the
Spaniards to the camp of Gen. Garlic at
midnight and surprise him. AS he re-

beaten like dog every day.

Other tortures inflicted upon the pris-

being put to death with machete blows
when the Cubans approached. Then he
was abandoned, but six other prisoners
who had been tied up TO await their fate
were carried into the fort again. The

it threatens to involve not only the East

Dispute over the Klondike passenger
