There will be no duel between Col.

They succeeded in having all obiec-

| Rev. DR.. J. William Jones caused
some surprise at Leigh Street Baptist
Church in Richmond last night by
practically CHASING President Harper,
of Chicago University, with such inf
dels as Ingersoll, Voltaire, and Tom
Paine. DR.. Harper delivered the COM
mencement address at Richmond Col
leee last week, and DR.. Jones did not
hesitate to say from the pulpit that the
trustees of the college had been indis-
Greet in inviting Dr.. Harper to address
Christian young men. This incident
recalls the fact that when the invita-
ton was extended to DR.. Harper an in
effectual effort was made to get the
Baptist ministers conference to ex-
press it's disapproval of the step. DR..
Jones is one of the most widely known
! ministers in the South

Reign of Terror at Havana.

KEY WEST, Fla, June M.-Reliable
news just received from Havana says 3
reign of terror exists there. Captain
General Blanco has issued proclama-
ton announcing that anyone daring to
express an unfavorable opinion of, or
suspected of being dissatisfied with, the
present policy of the government will
Ue summarily shot. This proclamation,
it appears, caused dissatisfaction among
the police force of Havana, who
threatened to revolt if full rations were
not served out to them. Serious trouble
was expected. Famine, it seems, is
imminent and the stories of the ar.
rival of supplies at Havana via Bata-
BANJO are pronounced to be untrue.
The informant of the Associated Press
thinks Havana cannot possibly hold
out six weeks longer. The city is pro-
nounced to be panic stricken, its in
habitants expecting every moment to
be bonn barded by the American fleet.
Riots are daily expected at Havana,
as the troops are suffering from hunger
and the volunteers are seeing their
wives and children dying of want. 1t is
reported there that there are 10000
men under arms at Havana, but that
the great majority OF them are ready to
surrender rather than die of hunger.
The report is credited that the gunners
at Moro Castle and at other Spanish
batteries were taken from foreign war
ships and it is said the consuls, includ-
Jog Mr.. Gollan, the British representa-
live, are strong Spanish sympathizers.
