Fuel and Forage Famine.

Sandusky, March 24.-The residents
of Kelley's island, ten miles distant,
are distressed as the result of a lack
of fuel for their homes and feed for
their cattle. Their distress comes
from the lack of facilities with which
to convey the coal and forage from
Sandusky. The islanders depended
upon the steamer American Eagle to
bring them their supply, and hence
did not lay in stock enough TO last
them until the opening of navigation.
The Eagle met with an accident a few
weeks ago and is unable to run.

Camp.

The snow was falling and the sky
overcast, just as at Valley Forge more
than n century and n quarter ago. 1t
was the morning of Washington's
birthday-and the occasion and the
day were peculiarly calculated to stir
the patriotic heart and quicken the
reminiscent mind of the old soldier.
Lieut.. Hanrahan strokcd his dropping
military mustache, as he regaled a
group of interested listeners with
stories OF army life. He was. telling,
in his inimitable style, of memor-
able engagement under Gen. Sykes,
when in came the veteran with the
-withered hand. He was careless in at
tire, and his nose resembled the wan
ing light on n ragged reef. He gave
the countersign, and, having success
fully passed the picket-lines, advanced
confidently toward the sanitary chief,
whom he saluted with mock dignity.
Hanrahan surveyed the intruder
hearty laughter.
"You aloive yet?" he queried. "Oi

the Instructions sent to them just before
sailing from San Francisco for Manila.
This notification has been the subject Of
some consideration on the part of the
President 10 whom the Secretary OF War
has presented copies OF recent reports frcm
the Commission AMI letters from Judge
Taft. All these letters show that the
Filipino insurrection, properly speaking, is
a thing Of TIE past, and no longer exists

are now making proposals Of peace, and
some of the insurgent army officers have
assured General Macarthur that they viii
do all in their power to persuade Aguina!do
to abandon further hostilities and consent
to the American terms Of peace.
Judge Taft's letters report a surprisingly
large number of the insurgents as having
accepted the terms of President McKin-
ley's amnesty proclama ton. One of the
latest communications from Judge Taft
was read at the Cabinet meeting of Thurs
day and was Immediately followed by a
general discussion Of the situation in the
Philippines. Cabinet officers say tina; The

was presented TO the President. The Pc
tition asked that recent order issued by
General Wood be suspended till the Gu
ban convention. which will be held next
month The order dismissed a number OF
teachers of the University Of Cuba ard
other schools on the island. A desire to
reduce expenses was the reason given for
this action. The Cuban teachers protested
against this step and wish to have the
question decided at the convention. They
assert that the system in vogue at the
present time is more expensive than the

President Eliot Discusses the Re
suits of the visit

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Aug. 1S.-President
Charles W. Eliot of Harvard University
said today with reference to the compile
ton of the course of study for the students
from Cuba and Porto Rico: THE Cuban
summer school here succeeded beyond my
most sanguine expectations. There was no
accident. no serious sickness, no death.
On the other hand, there was much study,
much enjoyment, and general enlargement
of experience. The relations between the
teachers and the people OF Cambridge Were
friendly and cordial in the highest degree.
None of the difficulties prophesied arose,
and much unanticipated good was done.
The immediate effects were highly salts
factory and the future effects are likely
to be still more so. One Of the satlsfac-
tory features of the stay in Cambridge
was the remarkable gain Of the entire COM
pany in bodily health and strength"
The committee in charge OF the Catholic
rooms at Harvard during the Cuban teach
ers summer school have united in letter
Of thanks TO President Eliot, in which they
say: we have found our work thoroughly
enjoyable, both becaI Sc we have had your
encouragement and because the
Cuban teachers have responded cordially
to everything done in their behalf"
