BURKE AND eu1NLAN BARRED.
The Harvard Faculty Takes Action
on International Athletics.

New York, June 2S.-A ruInor was cur
rent at the intercollegiate boat race on
Tuesday that the Harvard faculty would
not allow T. E. Burke and ]. F. Quinlan
10 join the team engaged TO compete
against oxford and Cambridge in London
on July p. When the challenge of the
English universities reached this country
it was given out that the document con-
tained a clause that might prevent Burke
from competing in the games.
The rumor that the Harvard faculty had
acted in the matter of course created sur
prise and instigated more critical exam
inf ion Of the conditions of the challenge
to Justify the alleged action of the faculty
In view of the circumstances the following
provision appears in an entirely new light:
That such representatives shall never have re-
ceived Pecuniary assistance toward their sup
port or maintenance as athletes during any por-
tion of their university career any period prior
thereto.
Burke and Quinlan are both members of
the New York Athletic Club, and as such
have taken advantage of the training table
at Travers' Island. There appears TO be
no doubt that the above condition was i'm
posed to meet just such cases and that
the Harvard faculty considers that as the
men paid no board while in training at
Travers Island they received pecuniary
assistance toward their support or main
tenance as athletes.
No member of the joint committee was
in the city today to affirm or deny the
rumor

DISTRESS OF CUBAN FARMERS.
Governor Gomez md Committee Call
on General Brookc


Havana. June-2S.-Senor Gomez. Civil
Governor of Santa Clara Province, ar
rived in Havana today with a committee
of farmers from that province. They WIS.,
tied Governor General Brooke and urged
that prompt and energetic measures be
taken to, aid in the restoration of arm
ing interests in that section. According
10 the committee great destitution exists
there, owing to the lack OF implements
with which to work. They say that a num-
Der of the people are starving in parts of
the province and that there is great need
of Government aid. General Brooke prom
ised to take steps to alleviate the dis
tress.
Governor Gomez gave General Brooke
full report of the trouble that occurred
few days ago at Cienfuegos and of the
steps taken by General Wilson to punish
the Offenders. He complimented General
Wilson highly and said that the people of
Cienfuegos appreciated his efforts TO do
Justice to all. General Brooke said he
was satisfied that General Wilson had
acted vigorously and properly. The al
legged offenders at Cienfuegos are now in
the hands of the civil judge, who has been
ordered to push their prosecution. Captain
Fenton. who is charged by Cubans with
having ordered his soldiers to fire on the
crowd, has been relieved from duty by
General Wilson pending further investi-

The Cuban lawyers held a meeting at
the rooms of the Bar Association to dis
cuss Secretary Lanuzas recent decree de-
claring that no appeals will be allowed
from judgments rendered by Spanish
judges on claims against the Government.
Secretary Lanuza's object was to prevent
claims against Spain being continued
against the present Government. The
lawyers think the decree is unjust and
will draft petition to General Brooke to
recall it.

Sensational EpisOdc Mt the trial OF
the Henderson County Lynchers.
Dallas. Tex, June 2S-There were some
episode in Justice Averitt's court at
Athens today in connecticut with the trials
of ten Henderson county lynchers. A
furious woman was the principal figure in
the most exciting one. Mrs. John Green
paw, wife of one of the informers. openly
accused one of the attorneys for the de-
fence of Misrepresentation, bad faith, and
fraud. She declared she had been induced
by the attorney to make an affidavit that
her husband was not absent from home on
the night Of the lynching of the three
Humphreys, after the attorney knew her
husband had turned States evidence, which
fact she did not know at the time, and
that the attorney had taken her husbands
money cn promise to work to clear him
and had then turned against him. Mrs.
Greenpaw's fiery denunciation created a
sensation second only to that produced by
her husbands story told on the witness
stand at the opening of the trial of the
execution of the Humphreys on the night
OF May %.
After introducing corroborative testi-
mony by w. A. Henry and w C. Maddox
today, the State announced its case closed
except that it reserved the right to intro
duce additional corroborative testimony il
1t deemed it necessary Attorneys for the
defence announced that they would sub
nit the case to Judge Ayeritt without the
introduction of any evidence, provided the
attorneys for the State would agree to an
immediate appeal to the State Court of
Criminal Appeals for bail or habeas corpus
proceedings on the record as now made up.
Assistant Attorney General Morris refused
to agree to this proposition, and the de-
fence then began the introduction of evil
dence TO establish alibis for the accused
Little progress was made most of the time
till court adjourned for the day being con-
sumed on points raised as to what should
be admissible evidence The indications
are that the proceedings will last for sew
eral days.
Late this evening the defence put the
three widows of the lynched men and the
two older children. boy ten years old
a girl of twelve years, on the witness
stand. Each of the five on direct ex-
animation declared they could not iden-
tify any of the defendants as members
of the mob On cross examination the
State ELECTED from each of the five wit
nesses that in the midnight darkness they
had not been able to see the faces of the
members of the mob and that as they kAli
never had any personal acquaintanceship
with any of the accused before or since
the lynching they could not be expected
to identify them. This testimony seemed
to satisfy and reassure the counsel for the
State. The opinion is general tonight
that the trial will close tomorrow and
the defendants will be remanded without
bail. Their attorneys expect to get their
cases before the State Court of Criminal
Appeals on habeas corpus proceedings
