GODDARD SEMINARY NOTES.

The first hard practice Of the foot
ball team took place last night when
enough men appeared on the field to-
form the semblance of second eleven
and the candidates for back of the line
positions were enabled to play against
something other than the wind.
Most of the time was taken up last
night in working the backs and the
ends. Campbell and r. Houghton were
tried on the defensive ends and although
they have many things yet 10 learn
about the position, they both showed up
remarkably we'll. Clough at tackle
played very we'll and made one particu-
larly fine stop Of Tenney after long
run.
vieau has a slightly injured wrist but
he will be all right tonight.
The worst difficulty met with thus far
has been the absence of any cleas on
their shoes but this has been remedied
today.
MIR. Joy and Mr.. Whitman, the two
new teachers, were interested spectators
at the practice last night and their
presence lends much encouragement tc
the boys. If the whole school would
turn out to watch them each afternoon
it would be of inestin,able value to the
enthusiasm which it would certainly
create amongst the players.

A Bad Impression.

Constantinople, Sept. 1.-THE Tur-
kish government has sent a note to the
Powers alleging that the British pro-
vokel the disorders which recently oc-
Cured at Canea and claiming that the
present situation is due to the measures
adopted by the powers in Crete.
She protests vigorously AGAINST the
bombardment by the British at Gambia
claiming that it was uncalled for.
Finally the purport of the note is that
Turkey refuses to withdraw her troops
from Crete in spite Of the decision OF
the Admirals that such steps would be
absolutely necessary.
The note creates bad impression in
diplomatic circles and the result will be
something that will startie the world.
The Musselman authorities in view OF
the Admiral's ultimatum have already
arrested 20 ringleaders in the recent
massacre ut Canea.

More Pleasing Aspect.

Washington, Sept. IA. - Notw'th-
standing the condition of uncertainty
which prevails in official circles here as
to the situation in Manila, it is now the
general opinion that the Americans and
insurgents are gradually becoming to
understand each other better and more
friendly feeling exists as is shown ny
an occurance which took place yester-
day.
Ayuinado sent one of his officers TO
ask permission to remove IA detachment
of his troops from Londo, one OF the
suburbs of Manila, and the favor was
granted without hesitation. AS result
the forces were moved through the
American lines and all along their
route were received with military hon
ors.
This courtesy on the part OF our lead
ers is highly commended here TOR 1t is
clearly realized that too much care can

dealing with the insurgents at the pres
ent time.
The importance of the question was
brought forcibly to the minds OF inc
cabinet officers yesterday afternoon when
each member was called to speciaI
meeting which lasted until late in the
evening and the situation at Manila
WAS discussed at length. No dehnite
derision was arrived at but there is no
doubt but that the policy already out

Gomez Resigned.

Boston, Sept. 1.-The Herald today
prints a special despatch saying that
Gen. Lawton has received word that
Gen. Maxine Gomez has resigned the
command of the Cuban army, and that
the Cuban government has accepted his
resignation.
This has significant bearing upon
the situation in Cuba for Gomez it is
understood has been intensely hostile
to accepting any controlof the island by
America and the Cuban government in
accepting his resignation gives rise to
the conclusion that they must be friendly
to the present plans of the United States
towards assuming government of Cuba

BRIDGEPORT TRAGEDY
BATTLES EVERY
ONE.
Still Unexplained.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 14.-Report-
ers have found man who claims that
his sister was driven home in a hack
across the Sea View Avenue Bridge
Tuesday morning at o'clock.
The hack was driven back over the
bridge so this would correspond with
the story told by the residents near that
vicinity.
More than this we'll known butcher
saws he knows of two hacks which were
driven over the bridge after midnight
Monday bringing parties from out Of
town, ...-s.............
These statements explain the story
told by John Calhoun of hearing a
wagon drive rapidly over the bridge
and it apparently disproves the theory
that the trunk of the murdered woman
was placed in the pond Tuesday morn
ing bv some one in carriage on the
bridge.
The most brilliant detectives in the
country together with the police OF
Bridgeport have been at work upon the
case and the incident of the team driv-
ing over the bridge was thought to be
definite clue but that theory dissapated
they will have to begin over.
If the woman was resident OF this
city her identity will doubtless soon be-
come known, otherwise it will be
hard task.

Refuses to Withdraw
Troops from Crete.
The Outcome Will Undoubtedly
be a Serius Trouble.

general inclination would be to have
them pass into the possession OF the
United States, but here again the in
surgcnt question is apt to present some
difficulty. Nevertheless, the Cabinet is
disposed to feel that this should not be
considered.
From present indications Aguinaldo
will not in all. probability accept such
an arrangement in which case rebel
lion would ensue, and Dewey will be
sustained with any number of reinforce
ments that he deems necessary.
In regard to Cuaa, . plan is on foot
whereby the United States shall have
complete control of the Island and the
Spanish commissioners will he notified
that in about one month more this gov
ernment will begin to take formal
possession and carry out their intention
by the landing of troops.
This would be done at once only for
the condition of the climate at this time
of the year which would be apt to re-
suit in great amount OF sickness
amongst the troops.
At present or until treaty Of peace
is concluded Spain would of right re-
tain possession of the island but the
treaty will be made up on the foregoing
principles and Immediately 1t is signed
or if there should be a disagreement
then our troops will be landed.

AN illustration of the radical differ-
ences which separate the Spanish people
from the Americans appears in the SEN
sational stories published from day to
day in the newspapers of Madrid. one
of those journals announced in tiarlng
lines that q mob had sacked the Spanish
Legation in Washington, driven Minis
ter Bernabe from the premises and in
suited the members of his household-
the purpose of the publication being to
excite popular hatred against the United
States and possibly to provoke lawless
attack upon General Woodford. Under
meath it all, however, lies the utter in
ability of the Spanish to understand the
true spirit Of American civilization. The
Spanish mind cannot comprehend the
principle which impeis the Anglo-saxon
to guard the safety of non-combatants
and the persons of women and children
against mob violence. Today, while Am.
erican citizens are hurrying from Havana
under the rising peril of massacre at the
hands of military outlaws clad in the
Spanish uniform every subject OF Spain
in the United States is as safe in his
rights, his person and his dignity as il
he were walking the streets OF Madrid
1t isa difference of race, civilization,
morals and education. If either the Min
lister of Spain or the Minister OF the

Thurston, who died in Cuba a few weeks
ago while studying the condition OF the
people in that stricken Island. This trl-
butes takes the form OF memorial tram,
which left Omaha yesterday containing
twenty-five carloads Of relief supplies for
the starving Cubans. It is believed that
Mrs. Thurston's death was hastened by
the shocking spectac of suffering and
death which she Witnessed among the
women and children Of Cuba, and it il
the refinement Of poetic fitness that the
homage now paid to her gentle memory
by the people Of Nebraska should find
expression in a bounteous outpouring o.
practical charity for the relief OF the
awful distress which she beheld but
