John Sebree is again confined to
his room. We hope that he will
soon be able to resume his high
school work.
During the past week several
visitors were greeted and improv-
ed the opportunity for hearing the
work OF the respective class rooms.
Friday afternoon was devoted
to the work OF the three literary
divisions. 1t was happy and in
structive occasion. Everybody
did his part; everything was in
keeping. Music oratory, debate,
defamation. and extemporaneous
speaking gave opportunity for the
display OF much talent and the
best OF spirit. Students and teach
ers are together, working for the
greatest good to the greatest mum.

The High School boys are in
terested in the football team and
some are engaged in daily practice.
A game has been arranged with
the Pueblo High School team. A
committee has been chosen by the
students, and given instructions to
secure price lists and designs from
various jewellers for a pin or badge
OF appropriate design, which will
be adopted and a large number
will provide themselves with the
same.
Two months OF the school year
have passed away. Each succeed
ing week, each succeeding month
reviews us with better past and
greets us with iarger promises.
There is more than mere continu-
ity in the passing OF time and in
the succession OF events at the
High School. Time does not lin
ger and grow wearisome for any
one; it is short. The accomplish.
ments of the past crafty us and
render us better equipped and
more confident for the future.
With accumulated stimulus and
strength, each one bends his en-
ergies toward the consummation ol
correspondingly greater tasks.
Visit the school and witness the
work your boys and girls are do
ing.
The Literary exercises OF the

the leading parts. The debate
was executed with vigor and pre-
cision. Considerable spirit was
manifested in the extemporaneous
discussion. The mandolin duet,

His Grafton was an original pro-
duction OF much merit and was de-
livered with ease. The subject
matter pertained to the question
Of the retention OF the Philippines.
Charles Benton, who acted as sec
retary for the society, gave crisp
and instructive review of current
and important events. The ques-
ton for debate was. Resolved,
"That the United States should
retain her possessions in the Phil
ippines." The regular debaters
were Misses Hireen and O'Connor,
Messrs. Dodds and Holly. All
did well; the young ladies did re-
markably we'll. A spirited and
pointed extemporaneous discussion
followed the regular debate. The
music for the afternoon was fur
nished by mixed club, with Miss
Peale at the piano. The critics

PARIS, Oct. 30.-NCwhere Is there
any sign Of agitation today. The city
is quiet. The anti-Semite papers vain
1y eLdeavor, by abusing the actions Of
the court Of cessation, to lash the pop
ulace into a hostile demonstration, but
the people seem more inclined to resent
the culpability or imbecility of the high
officers Of the general staff who allow
ed themselves to become the prey of
unscrupUlous officers. The report Of
the officials deputed to investigate the
Dreyfus affair is awaited It is be-
lleved that facts are being concealed
in order to shield the headquarters
staff. Most Of Paris approves the de-
cisfon of the court of cessation, al
though the Gaulois and the Eclaire de-
clare that revision is by no means GER
tain. The Liberte bows to the decision.
but does not think that 1t will end the

Rival Factions Are at Odds.

MANZANILLO, Oct. 3O.-The visit of
Gen. Leonard Wood governor OF the
military department of Santiago, has
been instrumental in bringing all the
elements among the Cubans to the
front. More than $4,000 insurgents, of
whom 500 are officers, want offices, and
their clamor amounts almost to a de-
mand. There are two leading factions,
one headed by DIR. Jesus Rabi and the
other by Gen. Rios. At present most
of the offices are held by adherents of
the Rabi faction, including the mayor
atty and the custom house Inspector
ship. Gen. Wood, in order to pacify
the Rios faction, has given them six
positions and the rural police force, and
has turned over to their people the
lighthouse, together with several minor
appointments. But neither party is
satisfied. Armed men are not allowed
rations. AS the Cubans will not dis
band and win not work, nothing re-
mains for them but to strut about the
city with machetes and revolvers. Gen.
Wood and Col. Petit regard the out
look as rather discouraging. Still they
hope that some means may be found to
break up the Cuban army. The mem
bers Of the rank and file are anxious
to go to work, but the leaders refuse
to allow them to do so, and the men
do not dare to do so, as they would GER
tain1y be shot If captured.
Gen. Wood is hoping that other towns
he will visit in his trip around the
province will not present the same vex-

the Cuban problem Is presented in a
very difficult form, the most difficult he
has yet encountered.
1t was necessary to send q detach-
ment Of the Second immune regiment
under q sergeant to the Riga plantation
In order to compel the armed CubanS
to allow men to work there. The un-
dertalhng, however, proved successful,
and 200 men are now regularly en-
ployed.
The latest advices from Santa Cruz

ban assembly do not report the arrival

are persistent rumors that the friends

Gen. Calixto Garcia and his supporters
After final conference with Col
Petit regarding the management Of
the district, Gen. Wood left for Santi-

Guantanamo, from which point, after
first returning to Santiago, he will
leave for the north coast Of the prov

basis, Hennepin, county outside of Min,

sey county outside of st. Paul 1900.
This would make the total vote Of Hen
nepin $1,000, and in 1896 it was 48,28S.
The former Is II per cent of the latter.
It would make the total for Ramsey
county, figuring in the same way, e..
200, while the total In 1895 was 30,3S7.
The former is little over 73 per cent
Of the latter
1t will therefore be seen that tha
vote Of the cities of the state will be
not far from rs per cent of their vote
in 1896. The total vote for president
in that year was 342, ,752, and rs per
cent Of that is about 257, 900. The coun.
try vote, however, judging from ths
past, is likely to be more than rs per
cent of that of 1896. About 5000 votes
can therefore be added for this condi.
ton, and about 5000 more for natural
growth in western and northwestern
counties. This would make the totaA
in the immediate neighborhood OF
270 900, which the vote of next Tuesday
will show to be very close to the actual
result
If Mr.. Lind and Mr. Eustis will al.
low Mr., Long about 10000 votes, Mr..
Higgins about 5000 and Mr.. Hammond
about 1000, and divide the remainder,
253 900, by two, they will come pretty
close to discovering how many votea
they will need to become the next gov
ernor Of this great commonwealth. If
either feels that he lacks a few of the
required 1865 he need not feel dis
couraged, as he has a full week In
which to go out and get them.
The vote for governor In recent years
has been as follows: 1894 29S, ,249; 1892,
255, ,s21; 1890, O,S92; 1888, 261, ,632.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Oct. 3d.
The principal theater of the city was
taxed to it's utmost capacity this after
noon on the occasion Of public meet
ing of delegates from the chief towns
of the island to consider recommended
tions regarding the necessities of the
island for the use of the special COM
missioners to be selected later to rep
resent Porto Rico ait Washington when
the time comes for settling the admin
istrative system.
Carefully prepared reports were sub
mitted by the political, social and eco
nonical committees. The meeting
adopted with enthusiasm the resolu-
tions demanding territorial rights, the
cessation Of the present military rule
and the installation of regular civil
government. Other resolutions were
adopted asking an eight-hour day for
the laboring man and severely de-
nouncing the present corrupt system
of registering deeds of land.
1t was obvious that the delegates
proceeded upon the assumption that
the United States would grant Porto
Rico territorial rights.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. 30.-Chair-
man Hernly, Of the. Republican state
central committee, recently invited ex-
President Harrison to take part in the
campaign. The ex-president has sent
Mr.. Hernly letter in which, after say
ing that important legal business will
occupy his time for several weeks, he
discusses national questions as follows:
cannot understand why any Republican
in the state should withhold either his influ-
ence or his vote from the Republican ticket.
Small differences as to the details Of adminis-
tration and smaller differences growing out of
personal disappointments should be put ut
terly aside.
Another consideration, I think, should
strongly influence the voters of the state
The nation went into war with Spain sup

ending of Spanish cruelties and misgovern-
ment there. The fighting lines have been
withdrawn and our ships are largely in our
own harbors, after achievements on land and
sea that have given increased fame to Amerl-
can arms, but our foreign relations are still
acute and unsettled and the appeal to which
the response was so generous and non -parti-
san during the war, to stand by our own
country and It's executive and It's administra-
tive officers should still be felt and respond
ed to. Our election results should not give

RETURN OF DREYFUS.
1t VIII Probably BE Ordered by the
Court Of Cassatien.

PARIS, Oct. 30.-By Saturdays de-
cision the court Of cessation obtains
complete control over the Dreyfus case.
It can demand and examine any docu-
ments it desires, including the dossier,
bearing upon the Dreyfus case, and 1t
can examine any witness no matter
what his position.
In short, if the court makes a sin
cere use of it's power, the truth will
have better chance of being discov-
cred than would have been the case
If it had merely ordered revision be-
fore another court martial, whose
members might have been actuated by
desire to shield the general staff.
Although the liberation of Dreyfus
has not been ordered, the court can
order him brought to France at any
moment and will probably do so an
ar early stage Of the inquiry. Tho
court refrained from ordering his re-
lease on Saturday, because it would
have been a presumption of his inno-
cence.

It is said that 1T was in order to
shield Gen. Mercier, who acted thus
owing to his weakness or his ignorance.
that all subsequent ministers Of war
have adopted an obstinate attitude.
If, on the other hand, there has never
been secret dossier, the whole case
rests ON the bordereau, and must fall
to the ground. How, then, since I,ieut

probable In view Of the emperor's char

have written to a military attache.

of Col. Hecker's departure doubtful.
though Col. Lee will leave tomorrow.
The supposition is that the death of
Col. George E. Waring Jr., in New
York, has necessltated some changes
in the plans of the war department.
The impression is general here among
Americans that the recall of Col. Lee
and Col. Hecker at this iuncture is
highly significant.
