IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION.
Free sumner School for Cuban Teachers
at Harvard.

at Harvard.
HAVANA, Feb. l9.-A cable dispatch
from Charles William Elliot, president
Of Harvard university, to Alexis E.
Frye, superintendent of schools, will
probably have the effect Of doing
more for the Cubans' future than any
thing yet accomplished. Some time
ago Mr.. Frye proposed plan to Gov
ernor General Wood, which has been
discussed at the Havana Harvard club,
namely, endeavoring to obtain permis-
sion for 1000 Cuban teachers to attend
the Harvard summer school for teach.
ers. Mr.. Frye has just received Presi-
dent Elliot's reply, offering to provide,
free Of charge, for 1000 Cubans during
six weeks of the summer. The teachers
will be surrounded for time by acad-
emic influences and will bc in close touch
with American teachers, which cannot
but have an influence on the method CT
teaching designs. 1t is understood AZ
rangements can bc made to send the
teachers to the United States Oh board
transports.
Mr.. Frye also contemplates that an.
other six weeks shall be utilized in visit
ing every city of Importance from Maine
to California. He believes that the rail-
roads will render assistance, and prob
ably the municipalities will invite the
teachers to be their guests during their
stay. He says that if it can be accom-
plished he will consider one of the
greatest problems Of the Cuban situa-
tiOn as settled

REAR ATTACK ON ROBERTS
BOer Commando Tackles His
Wagon Escort and Takes
Some Supplies.
Relief Of Kimberley Carried
Out With a Loss of Only
Fifty Troops.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-It is now prac-
tically confirmed that General Cronje
escaped. Every detail received, how
ever, shows how admirably Lord Rob-
erts' plans were laid and how well they
succeeded. But for the unavoidable de-
lay at Dekiels drift, which was almost
impossible for wagons, the whole Boer
force would have been surrounded. The
delay of one day gave them their chance
for hasty retreat.
All the other movements of Lord Rob-
erts were executed exactly to time. Ap-
parently General Cronje is retreating
with the main army and even if he ,es-
capes altogether he will probably lose
all his baggage. There are still some
things doubtful about the capture Of the
British convoy. According to Daily
Mail correspondent with the convoy
di> on, which consisted Of 200 wag-
ons, each loaded with
Six Thousand Pounds of Rations
and forage and drawn by 16 oxen, it
was quite unexpectedly attacked by a
commando supposed to come from
Colcsberg. The escort, consisting Of 80

Treatment Of Wounded.

British Onaeer Tells of Their COnsidorate
Treatment Of Wounded.
ARUNDEL, Saturday, Feb. l7.-Cap-
tain Longhurst of the British medical
corps spent a night at Hobkirks farm
attending the wounded Australians. He
says the enemy were remarkably kind
to the wounded, provided them with
mattresses and gave them all the eggs
they had.
The Eoer commander and Captain
Longhurst found that they had mutual
friends in London and were soon on the
best terms. The Beers and the British
wounded fraternized.
After the retirement of the British
forces the Beers held prayer meeting
and thanked Heaven for their successes.
Then they separated into small parties
and moved to their various outposts,
chanting hymns as they went.
Captain Longhurst says that he was
much impressed by their considerate
treatment of the British wounded.
