ANNUAL CONTEST.
The Orators of tho Agricultural College
Meet ON the Rostrum.

The Orators of tho Agricultural ColIeg,
Meet ON the Rostrum.
The Twelfth Annual Oratorica
contest Of the S. ID. A. Z. took place
In the college chapel last Friday even
ing before crowded house.
Though late in getting started with
the program, it was entertaining from
start to finish, and was In fact the
best program, and the best rendered
program, ever given by the Oratorical
Association. The writer Of this article
enjoyed every minute Of 1t which is
quite 10 marked contrast with former
years when he has gone there expect
ing to be bored, in many instances, by
long, dry orations-devoid of original
neutrality-suspicious. and unemo-
tional,-and, when sitting on nettles
would have been pleasurable pastime
in comparison.
1t is therefore with great pleasure
that the REGISTER notes the marked
improvement. The papers were full
of good, original thought and their
delivery was marked by an easy, enter
tanning style, that has so long been alb
sent from oratorical efforts at the s.
d. A. G. The orators had been in
good hands and the delivery of each
individual grafton reflected credit up
ON their instructor.
Another marked feature of the enter
tainment was the fact that, with one
exception, each contestant knew his
little piece. 1t is wonderful what a
difference this makes on an occasion
like that.
The REGISTER does not wish to par
ticularize or individualize, but it does
wish to say this; the judges made no
mistake when they decided that Ray
Dillman was entitled to represent this
association at the annual state contest
and also in giving Ralph E. Gentle the
second place. Mr.. Gentles subject
matter and his thought was possibly
little deeper than that of Mr.. Dillman
but not so entertaining to the average
audience, while Mr.. Dillman' delivery
was almost faultless. The party who
snatches the first prize from Mr.. Dill
man at the state contest will be a |
dandy.
1t will not do to close this article |
without word spoken in praise of the
excellent music furnished by the col |
lsge orchestra. The boys are improv-
ing wonderfully and are now handling
only high grade music. Mrs. ]. H.
Wheeler also executed very fine solo |
to the edification of the large audience.
Mrs. Wheeler has an excellent voice,
which has been well trained, aud it is
considered treat to hear her. Her
place upon the program rendered her
solo all the more conspicuous and en-
tertaining.

So
And the war goes on. Contrary to
what seemed to be the expectations
OF Aguinaldo's followers, that great
chief ~ has not marched his victor
ious legions into Manila and reduced
the city, the Insurgent flag does not
wave over the ruins of American oc-
cupation and Dewey has not taken
fright and steamed away for more
peaceful ports. On the contrary, Man
lila has been safely guarded by its eff
ficient police force ever since the op-
ening Of hostilities and a handful Of
Americas soldiers have pushed out
and killed more Filipinos In week
than the Insurgent government can
muster In the next ten years. The
self constituted enemy has been driv-
en- from stronghold after stronghold,
village after village and city after
city. Poor, weak, deluded fools, it
makes one sad to contemplate the
position they have placed themselves
in; and yet, they probably never could
have learned in any other way. Hun
dreds OF years of priestly tyranny have
not helped them to understand the
great problems of civilization, but mas
made them what they are; giants in
fanaticism, devils in desperation and
children in Judgment. When, Oh!
when, Will they learn that to hold out
means simply death and dssolation to
this whole fair island?

A few days ago, after the Kansas
boys had made charge and swept
everything before them, they, or at
least few Of them, suddenly became
aware Of singing Mausers coming from
the rear. Ping ping. the little lead
en- messengers whizzed about their
heads and raised the dirt and dust
about their feet. The foliage was
SO dense overhead whole squad could
have hidden up there. At length
after considerable search the tree was
located In which the hidden gunner
was doing his deadly work, but the
thick leaves screened him perfectly
from those he was shooting at. Vol
ieys were fired into those thickly
ly clustered branches before the life
less fingers let the Mauser rifle drop
clattering to the ground. And what
kind of a man do you suppose it was
those Kansas veterans found there?
They found an old Filipino who had
lost one limb in some past trouble,
perhaps in some fight with the Span
iards. His comrades had tied him up
In the tree so that he couldn't fall
down, and there he stayed, shooting as
long as his fingers could hold his rifle.
bullets had riddled his body
but the rope that bound him to his
post kept the lifeless clay still there.
He died hero fighting in lost cause.

Has Dispersed By Its Own
Act, Thus Removing the
Last Obstacle To
ARMY DlsBANDMENT
The Soldiers Will Now Be
Paid Off Promptly And
Induced To Resume
Agriculture.

HAVANA, April 5.-The dispersion
of the Cuban assembly by its own act Is
hailed with satisfaction by all classes
of Cubans as well as by the American
authorities, who have tolerated its ex-
istence only because to suppress it by
force would have msgnifed it's import
ance and pretensions.
Its disappearance removes the last
obstacle in the way of the disbandment
of the Cuban army and the return of
the soldiers to agricultural and other
pursuits.
The army rolls will now be handed
over to the psymaster's department
and the $4,000, GOO can be shortly dis
bursed to the satisfaction of all ele-
ments in thetarmy, except a few dis
credited politicians who, unless they
could themselves control the distribu-
tion, preferred to have no srrearages
paid at all.
The assembly yielded up the ghost at
Cerro by an almost unanimous vote.

vices be summoned to appear before
the tribunal. Recorder Davis objected
to this, claiming that the testimony
they would probably give would bear
on the facts only as they remember
them, and therefore would be of little
value. The list was submitted and the
court decided to use its discretion in
the matter.
Major Lee this morning read the
courts reply to Gen. Miles's letter of
yesterday covering 131 more witnesses,
in which the court stated that as many
of those witnesses as were needed
would be summoned. Gen. Miles re-
piled to this that while this was his
final list he believed that the honor
and reputation of the army demanded
that q great many more witnesse,
should be summoned if the court was
not thoroughly satisfied on the subject.
He says that at least 25 900 men could
be summoned who would testify to the
poor quality of the beef rations.
WASHINGTON, Apr. 5.-Col. r. W.
of the U. S. marines, gave
the court OF inquiry a description of
the naval beef ration this morning.
He said that at Guantanamo, despite
Ihe fact that his men were not fur
nished with tents, their health was
good. The refrigerated beef ration
was brought to them by naval store
ship.
