AT CAMP HAVEN.
The Examination of OfRecrutts-Their Ac.
ceptance and Rejection.

Camp Haven, State Military Rendez-
vous, Mantle, Conn.,, May 11.-To-night
will round out full week for the SOL
dier boys rendezvoused here, with the
which reached camp Saturday, and it
has been a week frought with long-to-
aforementioned incidents, to which the
weather clerk contributed probably
more than his quota. 1t has been a
week of continued hard work, which
has borne fruit, and it now is the opin-
ion of Colonel Burdette that though his
regiment is made up of about 80 per
cent of recruits, when they appear at
drills or on parade it will be difficult to
distinguish them.
Company B of Hartford Captain Mo-
ran, was before the examining board
to-day and fifteen of the men were re-
jected. The reflections were mainly
owing to defective eyesight. The men
dropped are Corporals F. J. Learned
and T. J. Lynch and Privates Foley,
King, Deedy, Driscoll, Carlin, Beaune,
Waller, Maynard, M. f. O'Brien, T. j..
O'Brien, ]. J. Moriarty and e. M. Mo-
riarty. Company F will be the next to
be examined All the men rejected
signed the payroll tonight and will be
sent home tomorrow.
A party of twenty recruits that pass
ed the examination at the Hartford re-
cruiting station arrived this afternoon
with H. r. Payne, acting recruiting
clerk, and another party of twenty is
expected tomorrow. They will be as
signed to the depleted companies.
There have been only fiftythree men
dropped from the six companies exam
ined. AT the recruiting station at Hart
| ford ninety-five passed successfully and
over three hundred were rejected. The
new recruits will be sent to camp as
| soon as needed.
Battery B, Heavy artillery, formerly
| Company X of the Fourth regiment,
has not received orders as yet in regard
to mastering in for service at Fort
| Griswold. The conditions have been
| changed within the past few days, and
while the battery may eventually be
| ordered to man the fort there is now
| no pressing need, and the battery will
| not go before the examining board un-
| til the entire First regiment has been
| examined.
Lieutenant Bishop of Battery c has
received official notice from Washing
| ton that his appointment as an officer
in the volunteer army has been ap-
| proved by Adjutant General Corbin.
| A party of militiamen from the New
| Haven Grays, Company F, of the Sec
ond regiment, were in camp to-day and
| Colonel Tyler and Paymaster Colt also
arrived at post headquarters. Ser
geant Holt of Company K has been de-
| tailed to assist Lieutenant Rowan in
the commissary at post headquarters.

HARVARD DEFEATS PRINCETON.
Annual Debate Held at Cambridge-Re
strictiOn of I'm migration.

Cambridge, Mass, May 1.-THE de-
bate tonight between Harvard and
Princeton on the resolve that the pres
ent restrictions on immigration into
the United Staets are insufficient was
won by Harvard, whose representatives
argued on the affirmative side Of the
question. Speaking on both sides was
fluent and ready and the rebuttal work
at times was very sharp. Harvard ex-
celled in general form and the judges
rendered their decision after only a
minutes consultation. The judges were
Prof. G. III. Harris of Andover Theolog-
ical seminary; President Capen of
Tufts and w. F. Page of the Atlantic
Monthly. Prof. J. M. Pierce presided
and the debaters spoke in the following
order: F. G. White of Harvard, N. S.
Reeves of Princeton, r. r. Parke of
Harvard, r. D. Dripps of Princeton, S.
B. Rosenthal of Harvard, M. Lowrie of
Princeton. The order of speaking in
rebuttal was the same, and each speech
was an enforcement of the first argu-
ment.

stricting immigration the house took

Port au Prince, Hayti, May 3.-Aside
from the traditional policy of the Hay
tien nation, dated February, 1868, ex-
Guiding aliens from holding property,
there is practical obstacle of no small
Importance to the acquisition by the
United States of a title to
a coaling station anywhere on the
shores of the island. This is the Sc
cret treaty between Hayti and Santo
Domingo in which each republic pledg-
es itself never to cede to any power
any portion Of it's territory for what
ever purpose or use it may be desired
Friendship for America among the
Haytien political class suffered a draw
back at the crisis of the Luiders diff
Guilty through the negative diplomatic
course of the United States govern
ment. If America had then intervened
statesmen of Hayti who count for any
thing would for the asking have placed
the future of the country absolutely in
American hands.
The great opportunity passed, and for
time every person OF white blood was
in danger Of becoming a scapegoat FOR
the Germans, who were hated as if they
were very devils. Happily, the rage of
the populace lasted only so long as
bombardment was apprehended. Theo-
dore Myer, the French minister to
Hayti, the only member Of the diplo-
matte corps here who appears well in
formed on the attitude of European
governments towards the Hispano-
American war, in an interview said:
"There is one very serious fact in the
situation, and that is the undoubted ir-
ritation of all European nations except
Great Britain over the American meth
cd of procedure in the Cuban affair. Of
the continental powers France alone so
far, is definitely committed to absolute
neutrality The rest, particularly Aus
tria, Germany and Italy, have taken
into very grave consideration the ques-
ton of intervention on their part.
Though one cannot doubt that if the
struggle continues long enough Ameri-
can will win the consequences of the
first success upon the nations that are
spectators irrespective of the side that
secures it must be potent and far
reaching"
M. Meyer observed that if the ques-
ton of European intervention came to
an issue Great Britain's position would
doubtless be in close accord with that
of America and indicative of an ulti-
mate alliance.

In the Senate.

Washington, May 11.-For more than
three hours this afternoon the senate
discussed the railway arbitration bill,
a measure designed to adjust by
means of voluntary arbitration differ
ences that may arise between railroad
officials and their employees. Mr.. Kyle,
rep, of South Dakota, in charge of the
bill, offered a number of amendments
which were agreed to- In order to
meet objections, Mr.. Hoar, rep, of
Massachusetts, offered an amendment
which was accepted providing that no
injunction should be issued which
would compel the laborer against his
will to carry out any contract for per-
sonal labor or service. The bill was
still under discussion when the senate
adjourned.

London, May 12.-The Madrid corre-

beginning of to-day's sitting the cham
ber passed bills for the temporary abol-
ition of the import duty on raw cotton
and the abolition of different duties.
The indemnity bill was next passed al
most unopposed, the Carlists alone vot-
ing against it. The remainder of the
sitting was devoted to a continuation
of yesterdays oratorical tournament
The chief feature was a crushing reply
by Senor Silvela, leader of the dissident
conservatives, to Senior Salmeron. Sc
nor Silvela declared that monarchy had
nothing to fear from republicans under
leader who divided instead of united
his followers. He said the best thing
Senior Salmeron could do was to make
himself forget. Even the Carlists who
had been coquetting with the republi-
cans applauded him"

THE FLYING SQUADRON.
Commodore SchIey Speaks on Admiral
Dewey's Victory at Manila.

Com OdOre SchIey Speaks on Admiral
Dewey's Victory at Manila.
On Board the Flagship Brooklyn, Old
Point Comfort, Va, May 11.-Commo-
dore Schley, commanding the flying
squadron, to-day for the first time con-
sented to give his views upon the vic
tory won by Admiral Dewey at Manila.
TO the Associated Press representative
he said: Admiral Dewey's victory at
Manila most deservedly takes it's place
side by side by the great naval victories
of the world. 1t has been urged that
the result shows such decided inferiori-
ty in resistance as compared with the
vigor of attack that there is diminu-
tion of the glory, but that is untrue, for
1t must be first remembered that the
greatness of Dewey's success lies in the
calm courage and daring displayed in
his decision to enter a strange harbor
at dark under the guns of many forts
and Drawing the perhaps hidden torpedo
or mine. 1t strikes me that with sew
eral advantageous fortified positions
the preponderance of advantage was
certainly with the enemy, and that with
the great daring displayed by Dewey
there must fall upon his shoulders the
mantle of Perry and Farragut. From
the meagre accounts that have been
received of the battle it is evident that
despite the great risk of every officer
and every man, there was not a faint
heart. Admiral Dewey and every man
in his squadron deserves every reeog-
milton that a grateful nation can be-
stow"

GERMANY,s ATTITUDE.
Re-Asserted That She May Take n Hand
In Philippines.

London, May 1.-THE Madrid corre-
spondent of Berlin paper says that it
is asserted in high Spanish official cir
cles that on May the German ambas-
sador to Great Britain, Count Haut-
Wildenburg, informed Lord Sails
bury that in case of a change in the
form of government in the Philippines
Germany would be compelled to put
herself in possession of certain guaran-
tees with the view of maintaining Ger
man interests. Lord Salisbury replied
that he recognized the justice of this
declaration, but designated the suppo-
sition that England has such intentions
as incorrect.

fere with the amount of circulating

Boston, May 1.-For more than four
days Bertrand c. Davis, five years old,
and Ariel Frye, four years old, have
been missing. To-day the children
were found locked in a narrow cup

board and the spring lock had held
them there for just 100 hours.

Washington, May lit is expected
that Lieutenant Rowan, the United
States officer who made a daring and
successful landing in Cuba and pro-
ceeded inland to General Garcia's camp,
will arrive at Key West tomorrow. 1t
is understood that Lieutenant Rowan
already has stated that the Cubans in
General Garcia's district occupy num-
ber of towns vacated by the Spanish,
and that the Cuban administration of
these towns is in the hands of fine
men, These last expressions give spe-
cial satisfaction to Cubans here. They
are hopeful that President Masso will
remain in the western provinces and be
ready to come with his cabinet to- the
first large seaport city that is occupied,

HAYrI AND SAN DOMINGO.
Political and Commercial Treaty Likely
With the Latter,

Santo Domingo, May 5.-Negotiations
for the conclusion of a political and
commercial treaty have been conduct
ed by the minister of the United States
for some months and now give fair
promise of complete success. The cor
respondent of the Associated Press has
it from the best authority that the
terms of the treaty are immensely more
favorable to America than those of the
treaty of 1864, which gives to America,
against any enemy in the time of war,
privileges of Importance. These privi-
leges relate to export duties.

RIOTS IN ITALY.
The Bread Issue Mere Pretext for
IMsurrection.


London, May 12.-The Rome corre-
spondent of the Times sends by mail a
long dispatch which the censor had
refused to allow to be transmitted by
wire, practically confirming the terrible
nature of the rioting at Milan and else
where. The Times correspondent eX-
plains that the bread issue is mere
pretext for insurrection prepared be-
forehand by a social convention Of nav
vies and railway employees, in which a
strong socialist and republican leader
ship has long been working, hoping to
overthrow the house of Savoy in favor
of republic which might have the way
to a restoration Of the temporal power
of the pope
The Italian colony is greatly excited
by the reports from Italy. Various
statements are circulated in the colony
all alleged to be based upon cipher tel
egrams. According to one rumor on
Monday night at Naples a regiment
fatty refused to obey orders to fire on
the people. Father Bannin of the Ital-
ian church in Hatten Garden, London,
says: 1--WE have been expecting a
great revolution for years resulting
from the exorbitant taxation ground

Rome. May lit will still probably
be many days before one is able to
fully estimate the gravity of the riots
and the number of killed and wounded.
The two suppressed papers, the Radi-
cal SecoIo and the Italiana de Populo
were undoubtedly chiefly responsible
for the riots there. The latter journal
has been in the habit for some years of
giving it's subscribers Christmas gifts
of revolvers and hatchets, the latter
inscribed in the Milanese dialect with
the motto "Dalli al tronco," (Strike at
the trunk.) The regular subscribers
were largely priests. 1t is said tonight
that all the socialist editors throughout
the country have been or will be ar
rested and detained until complete or
der is restored. Evidence accumulates
that railway men were chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for the uprising.
The military organ Esercito publishes
an order calling under arms the reser-
visits employed on the railways. They
are not to leave their employment, but
are to be under military law. The gov
ernor of Milan has issued a decree de-
claring that persons found cycling in
the province of Milan will be court
martialed.
London, May 12.-The Vienna corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph de-
scribing the riots at Milan, says: "One
thousand persons We're arrested; six
hundred killed and two thousand
wounded In one instance twenty stu
dents were killed. AS all the printing
houses in Milan refused to print a man

Vallejo, Cal, May 11.-Captain Glass,
when asked about the report from
Washington that the Charleston would
sail to-day, said that he was expecting
sailing orders but had not received
them. The Charleston has already been
loaded with ammunition and to-day
was hauled from the dock out into the
stream. There she is being coaled
from lighters. She cannot possibly get
away to-day and probably will not sail
until Thursday evening or Friday
