The only practical difference In the TWO
findings Is that where the committee
recommended that Colonel Stubbs be re-
moved from the History Committee, ana
that he resign from the grand command
ership. the council simply suggests that
he should not longer continue TO hold
either position. and leaves IL for him 10
do as he pleases.
Now that Colonel Stubbs has rendered
his resignation the communicating OF
the Grand Camp devolves upon FIRST
Lieutenant Grand-Commander John j.
Williams. OF Winchester, and until some
one IL elected as Grand Commander by
the Grand Camp. which meets in August
next. he will have to perform the func-
tions OF the office. The duty OF appoint
ing Colonel Stubbs's successor on the His
tory Committee will devolve upon him,
and II Is more than likely that he Will
tender the office TO Captain John Gus
sons Captain Cussons resigned from the
History Committee some time ago. ana
even should he accept office thereon.
there would still be another vacancy on
the committee. which Colonel Williams
will probably iii by appointment.
THE GRAND COMMANDERSHIP.
The Grand Camp alone has the power
OF electing it's Grand Commander. and IL
is highly probable that Colonel Williams
will be elected. though II is generally un-
derstood that he does not care particu-
larly for the office at this time. and that
should captain Cussons consent To let his
name go before the camp IN August next,

STRETCH OF
COAST BOMBARDED

From Cabanas TO Baiquiri. fourteen
miles OF coast, the ridge was dotted with
the smoke of American shells. The bat
terry west Of I'll MORO was the only point
where the enemy appeared to make any
serious attempt to reply. The sharp
reports OF the batteries OF the smaller
boats Tiled the air.
At I 1880 o'clock the New York ran
down from Eel Moro to Baiquiri, the
real seat of operations.
just as she arrived the first boat load
Of troops was landing ut the iron oom-
pany's wharf.
Around the wharf launches and boats
were thickly clustered. some black with
troops. others half empty and their
former occupants ciim hing MP like anita.
The firing of the gunboats was sron
discontinued. Flames broke u where
the shells had been directed, and a long.
low, white house was soon burned up. r
NO shots were seen to come from any
point on shore. The landing continued
quietly, until BY noon 5000 troops were
ashore.

Steps to Prevent the Eva
sion Of Bond Law.
%SUBTERFUGE OF NKE
Are Said to Have Subscribed in the
Names Of Others.
CIRCULAR LETTER TO BE SENT.

Washington, June 24.-Among the
many thousand subscriptions for the
smaller amounts OF $500 or less daily re-
ceived by the treasury department there
appear almost daily r~emittanccs from
banks and smaller institutions covering
a long list OF subscribers in uniform
amounts OF $500 each. In these cases one
large draft or check is enclosed for pay
ment for all the subscriptions. The fact
that there is a small premium offered by
large would-be investors has stimulated
certain persons to secure pro forma sub
bcriptions from people who have no bona
nde Intention OF investing in the bonds.
The pro forma subscriptions thus OBJ
tanned are then forwarded by the agent
gatherings them I'm with a draft in .
round sum for payment. 1t is easily to
be seen that the fair purpose Of the law.
which favors an honest subscription by
the citizens of humber means, may be
thus circumvented. The treasury has
a watchful eye for such abuses, and
where the case Is clear enough such sub
scriptions are unceremoniously returned
to the sender. In other cases where
doubt exists the secretary has prepared
and will sen the following letter:
Dear Sir-You are respectfully ad-
vised that the several subscriptions Of
$500 each enclosed by you under date of
- and accompanied by your check
for s. are not accepted, but are held
in allegiance for your further advice. 1t
was the plain intent of congress-, in the
legislation authorizing the issue of the
bonds now in question. TO give to per-
sons OF moderate means the opportunity
TO invest their capital. or a part Of Ii, In
the securities of the United States, the
evident underlying thought being that
thus our frugal citizens would come into
a closer interest with the government
of which they form a part. Whatever
operates to defeat this thought and pur-
pose defeats or circumvents the inten-
tion of congress as embodied in the law.
The cir, umstance surrounding the
subscriptions forwarded by you as above
referred to carry a presumption that
they are not expressions OF a bonafide
purpose on the part of the pro forma
subscribers to become investors In and
holders Of the bonds applied for. On
the contrary. the presumption arises
that the subscriptions are reallyfn the
interest OF a class whose claims are dis
tinctly deferred until after. the several
subscriptions of individuals shall be first
accepted, and the lowest amounts first
allotted The duty OF this department
requires a reasonable, yet dHigent,
guardianship OF the rights of those. In
whose behalf the law has special re-
gard. The department therefore deems
II proper TO require from you e clear and
unequivocal statement that in appearing
for the persons whose names are signed
to the subscription paper you are bona
fide acting oil their behalf. and not for
the Interior advantage of yourself or any
other interest. In the absence of a sat-
isfactory statement from you to this eff
feet, the subscription papers with your
check viii be returned to you

or the men as the crew rowed back TO
quarters. The men would give no prob
able reasons for their unsatisfactory
showing further than to say they were
outrowed. and the silence preserved by
Captain Perkins after the race was like
wise maintained by the members Of the
crew.
To the Associated Press representative
Mr.. Courtney said: We have no ex-
cuse to make for not winning the fresh
men race. 1t was fairly rowed and fine-
ly won. and / want to tell o that IL
must have been a mighty fine crew to
beat our freshmen. I consider that the
freshmen crew was a fast one. but. as a
matter Of fact, my energies almost
wholly were devoted to the varsity. We
won the race we were after, and we
ought to be well satisfied. did not fol-
low the race, but went out In a punt 20
I could see the starting line. 1t was a
pretty start. and after ] came back to
the loat and watched the race through
4 glass. i felt certain that both Harvard
and Cornell were opening water between
them and Yale. When the crews were
about Q mile down the course. the water
was very rough and the spray which
broke over the outriggers went as high
az the mems heads. This was the first
time that my freshmen had experienced
rough water. the only previous occasion
when the boat was given a rocking being
q few days ago when WI ran into a wind
sQuall which preceded q thunder storm.
A freshman crew In always an unknown
quantity. IL is really tho only race to
see for sport. Then II is the unexpected
which happens, and you can look for II
generally In the freshmen race
Mr.. Courtney was asked as to his
opinion on the rowing OF the three crews.
He said that, az In the case OF the
varsity race. he saw little OF the details
n would give no opinion. He said
though that from what he saw OF the
freshmen all three crews were rowing
q beautiful stroke. The Cornell crews
pulled almost the arm stroke. and In
both instances the men finished In the
best Of condition.
Captain Payne Whitney showed the
keenest disappointment over the defeat
Of the Yales. As he stepped out OF the
shell and walked up the float he could
not restrain the tears. His men gave
him a rousing cheer and followed It with
yeIls and cheers for Coach Cook, who
was very much downcast. Captain
Whitney said: Yale rowed for all there
was In II; every man In the boat exerted
every muscle and put every ounce Of his
strength on his oar. We are certainly
greatly pleased with the fine showing
the crew made. We heartily congratu-
late Cornell on the victory. They fought
every inch of the four miles. and the best
crew WON"
