MATTER OF ROWING CORNELL
YAEE AND HARVARD BOATTNIl
 AUTHORITIES CONFER,
AmtcabIc Understandings Concerning
 Attitude Toward CornelI-No Wish to Dictate, but Time-honored Contest on Thames Will Not be Abandoned Would Row Cornell There

l Would Row Cornell There.
 Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 16.--A confer- ence of Harvard and Yale rowing
 authorities was held at the Hotel Ven- dome, in Boston, this afternoon. Presl- dent Preston and Captain Allen of the Yale navy and Captain Higginson and Manager Mann of Harvard were the conferees. An entirely amcable under
 standing on the attitude of the two New England universities toward Cor nell was reached, and although the transactions of the meeting have been
 kept carefully guarded, there is little
 doubt as to what the actual relations
 Of the three parties are. Harvard and
 Yale both wish to row Cornell, and thera
 is no truth in the recent reports that
 they intend to assume any dictatorial
 attitude as to the terms under which
 the race is to be rowed. Both Harvard
 and Yale are, however influenced by the
 fact that their alumni and undergrad-
 uates are practically unanimous in fa-
 vor of the New London course. Tho recent unofficial utterances of the Yale Alumni Weekly, giving the Yale side of
 the case, are heartily echoed at Cam bridge. Under these circumstances the
 Harvard and Yale authorities do not feel justified in agreeing to row at Poughkeepsie, or under any other cir cumstances that would put the Har- vard-Yale contest at what they consider a disadvantage, or make it less accessi- ble to the alumni and Undergraduates. At New London the race would be more strictly college event, which can be conveniently witnessed by thousands of college men. "If Cornell can coma in, so much the better" is the sentiment which prevails at Harvard.
 In a word, Harvard and Yale are united in wanting their race kept at New London and are not inclined to sacri- flee it for the sake of rowing Cornell, as the latters participation is nacessari- ly but an incident to the time-honored contest between Harvard and Yale. It is an incident that both desire in per- feet faith-but at New London. Row. ing men are inclined to draw this con- clusion from the present state of things: Harvard and Yale will row at New Lan- don beyond doubt, whether Cornell can join them there or not. It is ex- X pected that the date and place of the race will be officially announced this week.

tWasAington, June 2s.-Sscretary Alger,
Adjutant General Corbin and Colonel
Bird, assistant quartermaster general In
charge Of transportation, had an hour
consultation with the Presidents today
relative to the question of reinforcements

In the United States and eniistments are
to be taken at all of these stations. The
enlistments are to be for service in the

provisional army of $4,000 In excess Of
the regular army {of sixty-fivs thousand

BEGINNING TO LIKE GOVERNORS.

Havana, June 28.-Within the last few
weeks the newspapers of the island, with
a few EXCEPTIONS, have shown a remark,
able change of front regarding the present
governors of the provinces. The papers
Of Havana were formerly very antaqo-
nlstic to ..Major General Ludlow. Now
most of them have nothing but praise
for his administration.
As for Santiago, the merits of General
Wood are the favorite theme of the local
press there. Major General Lee continues
TO be, as he always has been. very popular
with Cubans of all Glasses, while there
are very few who fail to recognize in
Gov. General. Brooke one whom they call
very safe man to do business with, -
and an administrator having the real
interests of Cuba at heart.
