NUMBERING OF SEATS.
Large Black Numerals Put on Those at
 Yale Field an Improvement

Large Black Numerals Put on Those at
 Yale Field an Improvement
 One of the most conspicuous improve ments made at the Yale field this sea son is the distinct numbering of the seats. This work was proposed and commenced several weeks ago by Cap tain Prindle, who for years has been a great help to the football homogeneous in all the big games. The work has been thoroughly done and will greatly facilitate the seating of the crowds on Saturday. Before the numbers were put on the 17,000 seats the backs of the seats were given several heavy coats of white paint, which make the black fig ures stand out very plainly. The ex- tra new seats which are now being put up will probably not be painted owing to the shortness of the time, The new numbers on the old seats will last for several years and will be a saving to the management in the end.

FOR EMREZZT ,EMENT.

Cyrus A. Butler of 126 First avenue, | West Haven, who for some time was
 employed in a clerical capacity by Goes Electric Express, was arrested Tuesday
 and taken to Bridgeport, charged with | embezzlement. Bonds in the case were fixed at $500 and furnished by Hugh J.
 Lavery of Bridgeport, whereupon the
 prisoner was released The complain
 ant, MT. Cole, alleges that Butler has
 failed to account for the sum of $116.
 Butler when first taken into custody
 proved a surly prisoner and but for the good judgment exercised by Superlnten- dent Birmingham might have found l himself in a serious predicament. | Prosecuting Attorney V. R. C. Gid | dings of Bridgeport issued warrant | for the arrest of Butler on Monday and | instructed Superintendent Birmingham | to have the man In custody for hear- | ing Tuesday morning. A Bridgeport policeman visited Butler at the latter's home in West Haven. The accused de- clared that the Bridgeport authorities had no right to arrest him and he stout ly refused to go.
 The policeman telephoned to Superin- tendent Birmingham and he sent two more policemen to arrest Butler. lie still refused to be arrested, but after a little talk he was convinced that he had better comply with the policemen's de- mands and go along.
 The Meriden Journal of yesterday af- ternoon says: Cyrus A. Butler was at one time resident of this city and was employed at the local Adams Express office. He has always borne good rep utation and his friends in Meriden feel certain that he is in this trouble through no wrong intention and that he will come out of it all right He has been a special policeman at Savln ROCK TOT the past few seasons, has worked TOT the Winchester Avenue electric road, and is looked upon as straightforward citizen in West Haven.

Ethat Found the people of Cube genial
courteo,lsHand, although impulsive, yet
warm -hearted. They are uncompro-
nisingly devoted to independence.
There are many Americans there who,
associating with the more wealthy
Spaniards, take tor granted everything
said disparagingly of the Cubans
Their. ability: for self lf-government is
questioned, but the best answer to
that. is that they. cannot demonstrate
their ability to govern themselves un-
less<they have the opportunity to do so.
One can not be taught to swim by be-
ing prevented from entering the water.
Whether the Cubans will want to be-
come part of the United States after
securing independe may be a ques-
ton; but upon: zone thing we may all
rest assured that it they are to re-
main under the American military con-
troll, or if they should be annexed, that
there will always be turbulence or dis
content: The Cubans have contended
for many more years than is generally
known for independence. It has be-
come a tradition and legend with them.
If that is granted them they may, as a
matter Of self-prot otection or gratitude,
or both, gladly desire to become part
Of the United States; but I emphatt-
cally repeat, that their control by our
government, or their annexation before
independence: is granted them, will al
ways be a source Of irritation and in
jury. All. changes are. attended with
some confusion; and, no doubt, this
would be the case In the event of Gu
ban independence being granted; but
the sooner we place the people of Cuba
in a position where they will govern
themselves, the sooner will the difficult
ties be met and overcome, and we be
regarded as an honest and faithful
people. who keep our plighted faith,
and the better it will be for all con-
cerned. 81. u i.

On the evening of the strike General

tivadores' Longshoremen's) union was
taken in charge near midnight by an
armed guard, and brought before Cen
eral Ludlow and threatened with dire
results unless he (Roca) declared the
strike off. He pleaded that he had no
authority to do SO, but consented to
visit the eight imprisoned men for the
purpose Of consulting them with that
end In view. Under guard he was
taken to the jail, where the prisoners
were brought to him, and after realiz-
ing that they, might be. incarcerated

off. Mr.. ,Roca informed me that for
several days he did not dare A'isit his
home for fear of being arrested. The
imprisoned men were confined in Jail
three days even after the issuance of
their manifesto: T> .
When the outrageous conduct of
General Ludlow was communicated to
me, and proven beyond question of a
doubt it seemed to be not only my
right but my duty to criticise him and
Mrge upon the workmen of Cuba to
organize in their trade unions, to take
such course, to lay these facts before
the proper authorities, and to take
such further lawful action as would
prevent a repetition Of the wrong in
flicted upon them. -
