TIE AyRT EXHIlBIT.
The Finest Ever Seen in the Peace In
sttute Studio.


stitute Studio.
The exhibition of original drawings
and studies by Miss Lydia Hale Low
and her pupils at Peace Institute claimed
wide attention during commencement
among those interested in art matters
From the time the studio was thrown
open Thursday forenoon to its close yes
terday there was an increasing stream
Of visitors deeply interested: not only
in the brilliant work of Miss Low her
self, but also in the rapid advancement
of talented pupils, as testified by pro-
gressive studies in charcoal, water-color
and oil.
These students have been held rigidly
to nature during the past year. mo
copying is Miss Lows gospel to which
she adheres with the tenacity of the
thorough artist, detesting the sham Of
mere mimicry. The clusters of chrysan-
themums. or roses, or violets, the little
scenes about the grounds of Peace In

press, each and every one of them, the

of reproducing them to the extent of her

In walking about Miss Lows work
shop the visitor will instantly pause
say, at certain flower studies by Miss
Mabel Sloan and catch perhaps some

which young and inexperienced girl
was enabled to feel her way into the
subtility of petals and wavering lights.

| Possibly the visitor may be more
scientific; he will then find himself in
stantly engrossed by the charcoal work
! of Miss Mary Davis, of Raleigh.
The still-life groups of Miss May
| Witherspoon are interesting.
But the lady caller will invariably
pause at the decorated china and en-
thuse a little over elaborate pieces by
Miss Sue Owen or Lucy West.
| However in the pen-and-ink and
water-color work of Miss Low herself
lies the essence, the explanation, the
over-soul. one may say, of the exhibition.
Such famous artists rs William NJ.
| Chase and Howard Chandler Christie
have declared Miss Low to be one of
the coming illustrators and she already
begins to become known to editors and
readers Of magazines. Not the least OF
the honor she has received was the es-
pecia request of the great French sculp-
tor Martini that she paint his portrait.
Among the drawings exhibited by Miss
Low at Peace those done as illustrations
of short stories by Edgar Fawcett per-
haps had an especial charm for the
spectator as showing Miss Lows aptness
in composition grouping.
But her portrait figures bear the inn

CUBANS OPPOSE
 CIVIL GOVERNOR 5,OOO People Attended the Meeting Yesterday PASSIONATE DIFFERENCES Americas Generosity is Yet to
 be Shown" MORE BITTER AGONY TO ENDURE Gonzalez Says to Resort to Arms Would Merely Crafty Those
 Who Say Cubans Cannot
 Respect the Law
MORE BITTER AGONY TO ENDURE

Havana, November B.-Some 1000 people attended the meeting of the delegates of the Cuban League and National party to- day. It was expected the questions of the civil governorship and the appointment of the new bishop of Havana would be dis cussed. As 1t turned out, these matters were only lightly touched upon. Senor Borges who was one of the principal speakers said:
 Cuba has passed through many throes, but possibly there are more bitter agonies to be endured. When those who are man. aging our affairs from abroad think either of the design or error of instituting a civil government among us, and when a for eigner is appointed bishop of Havana, Gu bans need calm judgment. Why is it that so many of our leading literary and profess sional men hold back from our patriotic platform while at the same time declaring themselves patriots? These are the men who would have to direct the government of the country They would reap the har- vest of independence. Perhaps they are selfish; perhaps they are too proud; per- haps they prefer leaving the hard work to workingmen like myself. The United States is a great and magnanimous nation The Americans have helped the Cubans in their time of need but it is yet to be shown that they are as generous as they first seemed.
 Senor Gonzales said: "Cubans must not break the law by appealing to arms to set tie this question of civil government. By such course they would merely gratify those who wish to show the world that Cubans cannot respect law'
 Senor Zazas said: We Cubans watch over independence like parents over sick child. It is but natural that we should not forget our many sleepless nights. There is naught for us to do but to finish our work and to secure independence"
 From every part of the island commun- cations are received by the local papers protesting against a civil governor-general. Almost without exception every paper pub- lished in Spanish has objected. The ma jority condemn the project utterly. The minority think that any change to be made should be made by way of reducing the number of American troops in the island In any event. in the opinion of the minority, substitute governors should be Cubans, and not subject to any local military command CTS.

LAST COUNCIL
Leading Fiipinos Hold Their Final
 Meeting

Manila, November 26.-[11 p. m. 1.-The last treating leaders at Bayambang on Novem- Der 13 in the house now occupied by General Macarthur. It was attended by Aguinaldo, Pic del Pillar Garcia, Alejandrino and some members of the so-called cabinet. Informa- tion has reached General Macarthur from several sources to the effect that the coun- cil recognized the futility of attempting further resistance to the Americans with out united forces and agreed that the Fili- pino troops should scatter and should here after follow guerilla methods.
 Reports of ambuscades and skirmshes come from every section of the country along the railroads Those districts seem to be filled with small bands. Yesterday four men of company D, Ninth infantry were foraging beyond Bambam when twenty Filipinos took them in ambush, killing one and capturing the other three. The Ameri- cans resisted for half an hour, the firing being heard at Bambam.
 Waylaid A Surgeon
 Lieutenant Frazer, with squad, followed the retreatng Fflipinos several miles. The Americans found the bodies of several sol- diers, and buried them. Three Filipino ri- f1emen ambushed an American surgeon near Capas He shot one and the others fed Between Bambam and Angeles a mule train was fired upon by the insurgents and Spaniard, former prisoner of the Filipinos who was with the train, was shot. At Malasiqui the officials who welcomed the Americans were murdered. This Is the only railroad town that the Americans did not garrison. The murderers assassnated the vice-president and five members of the town council and told the frightened natives who witnessed the slaughter to spread the news that similar fate awaited all friends of the Americans.
 Spread the news that a similar fate awaited all of the friends of the Ameri-. cans.
 The mayor of San Carlos who rode in the carriage with General Macarthur and Col onel Bell when the Americans entered the town amid the cheers of the people, was murdered the next night.
 Military activity continues in every sec- tion. Colonel Bells regiment has advanced from Bamboang upon Mangatarem, where 1t Is supposed there is a large nsurgent force Two battalions of the newly arrived Twenty-eighth infantry have been sent by

CONSIDERABLE ANXIETY
Though No Further News Has Been
 Received

London, November 27.-(5 a. m.)-No fur ther news respecting Lord Meheun's ad- vance has been received and the absence of official details regarding his losses cre- ates the greatest suspense, especially since the publication of the heavy sacrifices en- dured by the naval brigade.
 No alarm, however, is felt as to his posi- tion, despite the evidence that the Boers intend to contest every foot of the way It was known that, in the absence of suf- ficient cavalry, he would be compelled to . slvan,, slowly as he has a preference foe night or early dawn attacks. which events seem to have justified that the Boers are decidedly adverse to darkness for their operations.
 The fact that in the Grass Pan action one British battery fired 800 rounds proves the desperate nature of the fight, and there Is little doubt that the casualties were heavy. It Is now known that no guns were captured in the Belmont engagement.
 Meanwhile the news from Natal is dis tincty more hopeful from the British point of view The details are rather vague, but it seems certain that the Boers are rally ing, that the railway communication is being re-opened and that the British re- lief forces are joining hands.
 This taken, with General Buffers arrival at Pietermaritzburg, is expected to make matters move brlskly very soon.
 General Hildyard's reconnaissance is prais- ed as a work of very great difficulty ad- miraibly executed.
 The troopship Medtca arrived at Cape- town yesterday with the Australian contin- gents. The Pindarir and the Idaho arrived there Saturday bringing three batteries of artillery.

COMMANDER VERY IN CHARGE The Numerous Local Chiefs De-
 clare Loyalty. THE LAST FILIPINO COUNCIL HELD Aguinaldo and Several of His Followers Held Meeting November l3 and
 it is Said Recognized Futility
 ofFurther Resistance
THE LAST FILIPINO COUNCIL HELD

Washington, November 6-Secretary of the Navy Long today received cablegram from Admiral Watson informing him that the entire province of zamboanga, island of Mndianao, had surrendered internationally to Commander Very of the Castine. The surrender was made on the 18th instant. Admiral Watson's dispatch follows:
 "Cavite Nov. 28. "Secretary Navy, Washington:
 November entire province Zamboanga surrendered to Very, uncondtional; delv- cry all guns. Numerous local chiefs de- clare loyalty.
 (SigneD "WATSON." The information contained in Admiral Watson's dispatch was received by the president and his advisers with unconcealed satisfaction. The surrender of the pro- vince Zamboanga Is regarded as the begin ming of the end of the revolution in the island of Mindianao and 1t is believed will be hard blow to those who are still en- deavoring to maintain the insurrection in the Island of Luzon.
 On the Fist instant Admiral Watson ca- bled the navy department that Commander Very had captured the city of Zamboanga on the 18th. He was aided by fifty natives and Moros and was holding the town pend- ing the arrival of endorsements from Jolo. On the same day General Otis informed the war department that he had ordered two companies of infantry to be sent to zam- boanga from Jolo.
 Zamboanga is the principal city of the island of Mindianao which is the second largest island of the Philippine group. Ad- vices from Admiral Watson indicate that the entire southern half of the island, which comprises the province of Zam- boanga, has yielded to the American forces and acceded to the authority of the United States.

BAILEY FOR BANKHEAD
Will Support the Alabamian for Minor
 ity Leadership

Houston, Tex, November 26.-The Post special from Austin, Tex, says:
 .~There is nothing uncertain in the course Hon. J. w. Bailey will pursue regarding the minority leadership of the coming con- gress. He will support Bankhead, of Ala bama, as long as that gentleman remains in the race. He is inclined to the belief that there will be deadlock between the candi- dates remaining after Bankhead withdraws, in which event he will propose Hon. s. w. T. Lanham, who is his second choice, be- lieving that the gentleman from the Eighth Texas district will prove acceptable-to to the different factions. MT. Lanham and MT. Bailey are very close together in their political views"

"Capetown, 1920 p. m. Today from General Forester-Waiker: 7 Lord Metheun reports that he moved yesterday Saturday, at s:SO a. m. with the Ninth brigade, the mounted corps, the na- val brigade, and two batteries, the guards following with the baggage. Near Gras Pan (about ten miles north of Belmont on the railway line to Kimberley 2,5OO Boers with six guns and two machine guns, ops posed him. The action began at a. m. Our batteries fired shrapnel very accurately till the heights seemed clear. Then the na- val brigade and infantry advanced to the assault. The fighting was desperate until 10 a. m. when the heights were carried. The Boers retreated on the line where the Ninth Lancers were placed to intercept them. The result was not known at the time of telegraphing The artillery took im- mediate advantage of the enemy's retire. ment
 Early in the day 300 Boers attacked our rear guard. The brigade met this and also protected the Hanks. The naval brigade
  acted with the greatest gallantry and suf- fered heavily, but no particulars are yet known.
 Showed Great Stubbornness
 "The enemy showed the geatest stubborn- ness and must have suffered greatly. Twen- ty were buried. It Is known that thirty one were killed and forty-eight wounded. More than fifty horses were found dead in place. One battery fired five hundred rounds.
 "Our force must halt one day at Gras Pan to replenish ammunition. The force worked splendidly and is prepared to over- come many difficulties. The naval brigade, the Royal Marines, the light infantry, and regiment especially distinguished them selves.
 Regarding Thursdays fight, eighty-one Boers killed are accounted for, and sixty four wagons were burned. A large quan- tity of powder 5O,oOO rounds of ammunition and 1O shells were blown up.
 Commandant Albrecht (chief of the Or- ange Free State artillery commanded the Boer artillery. General Rolewy was in chief command"

 Santiago, General Wilson says, is not to be compared with the western provinces He characterizes the province as foreign country not in sympathy with the superior Americanism dominant in Havana"

WILL ERECT TOMB
vice-Presidents Body Will Not Be
 Placed in Ground.

New York, November 26.-There was big crowd of visitors to Paterson, N. J., today. The street in front of Carroll hall, the Hobart home, was crowded all day. The greatest crowd, however, gathered at Cedar Lawn cemetery. There a special de- tadl of police had to be maintained to pre- vent the crowds from trampling upon the graves, and plots about the receiving vault.
 It is not likely Vice-President Hobart's body will be placed in the ground. It is the intention of the family to erect tomb upon the plot of land where Miss Fannie Hobart lies and beside whose body 1t was generally supposed the body of Mr Ho- bart would be placed. The work will prob- ably be commenced before long so it is doubtful if the body of the vice-president will be removed from its resting place un- til the tomb of the family is erected.
