the port it was impossible to learn from
the sea whether this information wa,
correct.
'The American squadron, which con.
sisted of the battleships Iowa, HAS

pont, maintained close blockade OF
the entrance.
| 'The topmasts of three or four large
ships could be seen in the harbor over
the promontory which conceals the en-
trance. and it was believed that these
were the Vizcaya and the other cruisers
under Cervera.
"On Tuesday evening the Cuban insur-
gents sent boat with positive informa-
tlon that the Spanish fleet was not in
Cienfuegos harbor; and Just after sunset
Commodore Schlev's squadron sailed
Cuba.
''We followed in the Premier, and de.
spite a heavy gale from the southeast
kept in touch with the squadron until 4
o'clock Wednesday. A severe rain soual[
then hid the vesseis, and when it cleared
we tonnd they had altered their course
and disappeared.
I'VE stood along toward Santiago, but
as the gale increased in severity and our
supply of coal and water was danger
onsly low, the Premier was obliged to
run for Kingston, where she arrived
Friday at 6 o'clock.
After losing losing touch of the feet we
sighted the United States gunboat Hawk,
with the news that the Spanish fleet
under Cervera was not at Santiago. / am
afraid there is little chance of meeting
the Spanish fleet. =
The probabilities are that Cervera,
after discharging ammunition and sup
plies Tor Blanco at Santiago, put out
again, run down the Caribbean to Mar
Unique and got out into the Atlantic by
the same way he entered.
I'm this way it appears that the Span
ish fleet has completely outmaneuvered
the American commanders, and has sue.
ceeded in conccaling its movements.
though the Americans have some seyeny
war vessels patroling the West Indian
waters.
ut is reported that severe fighting
took place between the insurgents and
spaniards near Cienfuegos on Sunday,
in which the Spanards lost 300 killed
and wounded.

across the campus with snowballs that
in many cases were made the day be-
fore and laid carefully in &. pail of water
over night to harden.
So thoroughly did the sophomores do
their duty that they overreached them
selves, and the resolutions which were
adopted prohibiting this and all other
forms of hazing are directly traceable
to the unusually early snow storm.
While the resolutions will be en-
forced with all the vigor that is shown
in the honor system in examinations,
they also provide ways by which the
freshmen will be kept in their proper
place and give the sophomOres plenty

Princeton Undergraduates Declare
the Custom Must Cease

Princeton, N. J.. Dec. 5.-The wave of
reform which has been sweeping over
the university of late reached a culmin-
ating point today, when, in mass-meet-
ing assembled, the students unanimous
" voted that hazing in PrincetOn is for
ever dead.
The action was taken by the under
graduates themselves, without any
promptings from the faculty, and the
management of the new state of affairs,
with all the difficult problems which
will arise, will rest entirely in the hands
of an undergraduate committee ap-
pointed by the students, which consists
of the vice presidents of the four class
es. editor-in-chief OF the PrineetOnian,

The late snow storm brought great
joy to the sophomore heart, giving, as
it did, a chance for the sophs to indulge
in the unwritten law that is a soph's
bOunden duty to SNOWFALL his victims,
at the same time preventing the freshies
from retaliating in any form whatso-
