PROFESSOR HADLEY's VIEWS
Recognition of Cuba Equivalent to
Declaration Of War.

NEW HAVEN Comm, March O.
Professor Arthur T. Hadley in his lee
ture to his class on political economy
at Yale to-day, expressed his views on
the present international difficulty be-
tween the United States and Spain.
Professor Hadiey reviewed at length
SPANS government of the island of
Cuba and the atrocities practiced by
General Weyler, and also discussed the
relations of a business nature existing
between Americans and the island of
Cuba. He called Consul-General Lee
"a very efficient man, at first some
what indiscreet. especially under the
Cleveland administration, but now
more cautious. and noted more for eff
cheney than sense Of form"
Continuing. Professor Hadley said. as
to the Maine disaster that no proof Of
foul play had come TO light
In the matter of international COM
ity," he continued, recognition of Gu
ban independence would be equivalent
to declaration of war 1t is a prin-
cipie of international law that so long
as Spain has not ceased to wage war
in Cuba, and SO long as the insurgents
are not in possession of a Weil-defined
territory and are preserving order
there, the United States is not justified
IN recognizing Cuba'S independence"

A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC.
Sword Which Tarleton Carried at
the Battle of Cowpens.

A priceless relic of revolutionary days
has just been placed in the state house
at Columbia. S. c., for safelleeping. 1t
is the sword which Tarleton used in
leading the British troopers at the bat
tie of Cowpens. that state, against the
| patriots under Morgan, Pickens, sum
ter and Marion.
The sword is the property of Col. IT,
f. Dickson, and has been placed with
the sword of Marion and other revolu-
tionary relics in the possession of the
State.
Tarleton lost the sword at the battle
of Cowpens where the patriots won
such a signal victory, a victory which
put fresh heart in their brethren
throughout the colonies and FASTENED
the coming of the triumphant end OF
the war al Yorktown.
Colonel William Washington. the gal
liant leader of the American cavalry,
pressed Tareton so closely in his fight
as to be able to have one exchange of
sabers with the British leader. Wash
ingtons sword cut Tarleton's fingers
and the British Colonel dropped his
steel and obtained safety by flight.
William Scott the father of Colonel
Dicksons mother. was an American
| soldier in the battle of Cowpens. He
saw the fight between Washington and
Tarleton and picked up the latter's
sword when he dropped It. The sword
has ever since been preserved in the
family as priceless trophy of anees-
| trail prowess in the revolutionary war.
The sword, or saber, for the blade
curves back so as to give greater force
to its blows is long and heavy. The
blade is a yard in length, While the hilt
is slightly over six inches long. with an
| iron guard and Il cut III the iron knob
at the end of the hilt. which are bedev-
ed TO have been made by the blow of
Washington's sword which forced Tar
Teton to drop his weapon or which
knocked it out of his hand.
The iron shank OF the hiIt is cased in
wood, which was covered with leather,
much of which has been worn away.
Upon the blade, close to the hilt. is
engraved the word Potter probably
the name of its maker.
There are many notches in the blade
and some rust upon it. possibly made
by the blood of patriots who had felt
its edge.
amiss TO repeat two anecdotes about
Tarleton and Washington.
The patriot ladies of the revolution
airy times had keen wits. On one oc
casion, Tareton, in a Dragging mood
was telling a patriot lady how he wish
ed he could meet their boasted Colonel
Washington" Her prompt reply was:
If you had looked behind you when
were running away fr-.n Cowpens.
your wish would have been gratified' -
On another occasion. Tarleton was
speaking contemptuously of Colonel
Washington to a patriot lady, Why"
said Tarleton, They tell me he is so
ignorant that he. cannot write his own
name" With a meaning glance at
Tarleton's right hand. which Washing
ton had wounded, the lady replied
But nobody is better aware than you,
Colonel Tarleton, that Colonel Washing
ton knows how to make his mark
