The Tribune called attention some months
ago to IA movement then organized with the OBJ
ject OF raising the sum OF 100000. the debt
which is owing by the trustees Of Barnard Col
ege FOR the necessary equipment OF the new coll
lege buildings on another page or to-days

present been accomplished toward this end. Two
days ago only the sum of $4,000 had been sub

forward with the offer OF so. 900. provided that
the balance OF the 100000 be raised BY October
. next. This leaves $4,000 still to be received.
The trustees OF the college are naturally most
anxious that this sum should be raised before
the time specified has expired. 1t s hoped that
the we-to-do people OF NewYork. who have al
ways responded generously to appeals for edu-
cational purposes, will soon provide the amount
required to free this admirable institution from
debt.

Gomez Gives lis His Aid.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. S.-Gen. Ce-
breco, commanding the Cuban forces
at Ell Cobre, sent word to Gen. Lawton
to-day that Gen. Maxine Gomez, the
Cuban commander-in-ch had or
dered him to place himself at the dis
position of the American commander.
Included in the letter of notification
were warm CONGRATULATIONS to Gen.
Lawton, upon his appointment to COM
mand the Department at Santiago.
Gen. Lawton's popularity with the Gu
bans has made the choice of the gov
ernment in selecting him for the i'm
portant post he holds singularly fortu-
nate.
Gen. Lawton has also received let
ters from the Cuban leaders, Gems. Lac
ret and Pedro Perez, In which they say
they place themselves under his COM
mand pursuant to instructions from
Gen. Gomez.

cheers, crying thrice Long live the
Queen" Then followed the formal
declaration of enthronement pre-
scribed by the Constitution. The dec
laration was pronounced by the Presi-
dent of the Council, who said
1--WE receive and enthrone you, in
the name of the nation and in virtue

us, as Queen Of the Netherlands We
do swear that we shall maintain in

While this declaration was being
pronounced all bowed low. Oaths of
allegiance were then taken indlvldu-
ally by the officers and all of the mem
bers of the National Legislature. The
whole ceremony was in fact technical
ly a session of the Legislature in
which the Queen was installed, and
was entirely devoid of religious for
malities. The emblems of authority
on the table in front of the throne
were rendered to her Majesty by the
President of the Council, the Queen
bowling in response.

The brave men who won the vic

trary, they seemed grateful to the
President and the Secretary of War for
giving them the opportunity to incur
these dangers and hardships. They
realized that in the hurried organiza-
tion Of an expedition by a Government
which had no one with any experience
IN such matters, it was impossible to
have everything arranged to perfection.

Amsterdam, Sept. S.-With simple
ceremony, but amid imposing sur
roundings, the young girl who is to
reign over the Dutch took possession
of her throne Tuesday asd received the
pledged allegiance of her Ministers,
Council and people. Like the Car of
Russia, the sovereign of the Neither
lands is not crowned, but personally
assumes the royal diadem and installs
himself or herself in the seat of power.
The formalities Of the occasion, though
not difficult, could not fail to be try
ing ordeal to a young girl, but she ac
quilted herself in a manner befitting
a descendant of the House of Orange.
The oath, prescribed by the Consti-
tuition, is as follows:
L do swear to the people of the
Netherlands that l shall always and
forever maintain and uphold the Con-
stitution of the Kingdom. | do swear
that | shall defend and preserve with
all my power the independence and
the territory of the nation; that

general and individual prosperity, as IS
the bounden duty of good Queen to
do. So help me God"

Sept. S.-Therc was a water famine
here from 8 o'clock last night until af-
ternoon to-day, due to breakdown in
the big pump a. the well in the infantry
camp. This well is the mainstay of the
camp. 1t gives the best water obtain
able here, and 725,000 gallons of 1t are
sent throughout the camp daily. There
was almost a panic in the hospital as
a result. No water could be obtained
for the patients, but as soon as the
situation became known a number of
sprinkling carts were then sent down
to the well, filled and then hustled back
to the hospitals, where their loads af-
forded temporary relief.

Sept s. Major-General Joseph Wheeler
made this statement to-day:
"In reply to direct request that l
give the exact facts as | see them. l
will state that every officer and soldier
who went to Cuba regarded that he re-
ceived a great and special privilege in
being permitted to engage in that cam
paign. They knew they were to en-
counter yellow fever and other diseases
as well as the torrid heat of the coun-
try, and they were proud and glad to do
SO. They knew 1t was impossible for
them to have the advantage of wagon
transportation, which usually accom-
panies armies, and yet officers and men
were glad to go, to carry their blankets
and their rations on their backs, and to
be subjected without any shelter to
the sun and rains by day and the heavy
dew by night. They certainly knew
that the Spaniards had spent years in
erecting defences, and 1t was their
pleasure to assault and their duty 20
capture the Spanish works. They
were more than glad to incur these
hardships and these dangers. They
went there and did their duty: each
man seeming to feel that American
