COLLEGE AQuA1ICS WAKE UP
Talk Of Cornell and Pennsylvania
Rowing at Henley Followed by
Stories of Harvard's Changes.

Queer stories are coming by way OF Cor
nell and Pennsylvania regarding the possi-
bilities Of crews representing these uni
versities visiting Henley next spring. To
cap the reports, cablegram as follows has
been received from across the waters:
"The secretary Of the Henley regatta. speak,
ing at the annual town (Henley) dinner,
said he confidently expected that crews from
Cornell and Pennsylvania would compete
in the races next year" This cablegram
was reproduced in the Cornell Sun with
only this bit OF a comment: "The secretary
evidently did not speak with authority"
but 1t Is difficult to observe where the "evi-
IDENTIFY" comes in. At Pennsy, on the other
hand, no effort is made to conceal the de-
STABILITY Of sending a crew, IL only the
financial part of it can be assured. You
can be certain. too, that II Cornell can stand
1t financially and no insurmountable condi-
tions are laid down, the Ithacans are likely
TO be on hand for they are dead game.
Just how the Intercollegiate rowing stua-
tion on this side of the big water will de-
velop 1t is still impossible to tell. 1t looks
like cinch from this distance. however,
that Cornell will pass up Yale and Har-
ward, since the Ithacans cannot con-
sistently refuse to row the Pennsyl-
vanians after last years defeat The Quak-
ers, as the college aquatic champions OF '9S,

Following the dropping of Bob Cook by
Yale comes the announcement that the
services OF Andrew ODea. the Australian
oarsman, who has labored with the Wiscon-
sin crews have been secured 10 coach the
crews Of the Crimson. f. C. storrow will
retain the position OF head coach and will
continue to perform its duties. O'Dea has
been engaged as instructor In rowing. He
will be expected, by rowing with the men
in singles, pair oars and fours, to instill
the principles OF rowing into the men so
that when the eight is picked there will be
large number OF candidates perfect in the
details OF rowing from whom to make the
selections Storrows work will be with the
eight as a crew alone. In connection with
this system an effort will be made to en-
courage the founding Of bat clubs. BY this
means II is predicted that enough men will
participate In the sport 20 that the time
when Harvard crews, from the excellence OF
material. will be almost unbeatable. seems
almost at hand. A $50, 600 boat house is to be

CUBA'S q. S. VALUE.

If this war with Spain were not
upon humanitarian grounds, nor yet
because of the dastardly deed of the
sinking of the Maine, there would be
found grounds enough for an armed
interference in behalf of Cuban indie
pendence from both a political and
commercial viewpoint. Peace at any
price" would have been a wise motto
for Spain touching the Cuban trouble,
but not for the United States For the
year preceding the late outbreak of the
revolutionists the trade between the
United States and Cuba reached $102.-
S64. 204. which almost equaIed this
cOuntry's entire trade with Asiatic
countries, four times as much as our
Chinese and japanese trade. and thir-
teen times greater than that with Rus
STA. The instruction cut down the
United States imports from Cuba over
IS per cent principally Of sugar and to-
bacco and fruits. For the year men
toned we received from Cuba 949.77S
tons of sugar, or one-half Of all the
sugar imported into this country. The
amount of tobacco reached one-third
our own domestic crop. and the value
of fruits received was $25, coo. 900. our
export trade TO Cuba was in like pro-
portion. That trade has been ruined
by the insurrection because the Cubans
could no longer buy The first year of
the instruction our trade with Cuba
fell off more than $50, 600, 000. the second
year there was a further loss Of SIS /
100000 and the third year still further /

FAMINE AS a FOE.

San Juan, Manila and Havana are
not the only Spanish cities over which
is lowering the gaunt and wingless
form Of famine. The cry of bread is
heard in the streets of Seville, Gran
ada, Cuidad, Madrid and many other
Spain is already growing hungry The
supply Of bread is failing and peasant
and prince alike feel the admonitory
pinch of famine. Patriotism nor love
Of country, nor devotion TO the yellow
emblem, so sacred to the Spanish heart,
can appease the cravings of hunger
1t is comparatively an easy matter to
die in battle with awful ordeal to sue
cumbing to hunger. Before its demand
patriotism wanes and mental exulta-
ton over victories is an impossibility.
Despair begotten of hunger obliterates
the love Of home and quenches every
aspiration to duty. The fierce warrior
with full stomach becomes an imbe-
Gle craven when the fangs of famine
are once fastened upon him. The gov
eminent of Spain cannot buy both
arms and bread, and arms are useless
in the absence of bread. and in Spain
II bread is not forthcoming the revo-
luton of anarchy will be. That Spain
Is thus menaced, there is no doubt
and a maddened populace will furnish
few army recruits. The flower of Spain
is resting beneath the soil of Cuba and
the Philippines or struggling out an
exhausted existence in their colonial
armies. If the American fleets are

MANILA AND DEWEY.

TIL city of Manila is so nearly starved
out that it seems probable that Dewey
will be compelled to take possession be-
fore the arrival of the troops for occu-
patton The situation in the Spanish
garrison is represented as desperate
and there will be no need of resorting
to bombarding in forcing a surrender
of the city. So long as the place is
held as now by Dewey's battle line of
ships there is no chance of sending
food to the starving people, for the
city is hemmed in on the land side by
a strong force of insurgents. When the

posing the Philippines. There seems
little doubt of Dewey's ability to hold
the place with the assistance Of the in
surgents until the arrival of General
Merritt and his army, seven or eight
thousand of which will be there within
twenty-five or thirty days. The in
surgent leaders, it is understood, have
promised Dewey that in the event of
his taking possession before the arrival
of the United States troops that they
will permit no excuses. Therefore,
even If Spain has dispatched a fleet of
relief, Dewey will have undisputed pos
session long before the fleet arrives,
and be also in position to hold the place
until relieved by General Merritt.

And there is John Madden, unquestion-
ably the most popular Pop leader in
the Fourth district, who was candi-
date for congress. We do not know
but everybody is cognizant of his sell

jority of the convention, his forces
were turned over to an out-and-out
Democrat. whom the Republicans will
have little trouble in defeating. The
body Of the Pop party in the Fourth

their bowling amount to? Nothing
The Pop party as a national organiza-
ton was sold out and delivered to Bry-
an. the nominee of the national Demo-
cratic convention, in a solid body. 1t
was not the wish of the party. but of
its leaders. The PopuIist party from
its inception has been. peculiarly. the
victim of relegated Republican fxers
and played-out Democratic dema-
gogues. Leedy's private secretary,
Little, a renegade Republican, com

that they will bolt and nominate q
