The suspension for five years of the
Chinese annual examinations in the prov
inces in which outrages had been com
mitted upon foreigners, which the min
listers in PeIlin demanded as a punitive
measure, has been neatly handled by the
Chinese Government so as to totally oh
scure the fact that it was intended as "A
punishment. In his edict announcing the
suspension, the Emperor is made to say
that he has been graciously pleased TO
take the step in order that students may
be prepared at the expiration OF the time
TO take an entirely new and up-to-date
examination, full of pleasing novelties
and bursting with ideas of progress.

COST OF FREEING CUEA.
Resolution That 1t Be Regarded as IL
Claim Against the Island.

Representative Levy OF New York today
introduced a resolution in the House au-
thoriZing the President to appoint a com
mission to consist of three members who
shall ascertain and report to him the ac-
tual amount of money expended by the
United States In the prosecution of the
war with Spain to secure the freedom and
the fndependence of the Island of Cuba,
including the sum of money paid by the
| United States to the Cuban army, as we'll
as the cost of deporting the Spanish pris-
oners and troops and the amount Of money
expended or necessary to be expended in
the payment of pensions TO the disabled
veterans of the Spanish war. The commits
sion shall determine and report what just
and fair proportion of this total amount
of money expended by the United States in
the war with Spain shall be borne by the
Island of Cuba.
When report shall have been made the
President is directed to communicate it to
the constitutional convention OF Cuba,
with the suggestion that the amount de-
termined by the commission as just share
of the expenditures to be borne by the Is
land of Cuba, IS regarded by the United
States as a claim against the Island of
Cuba. and further that the United States
demands that the constitutional conven-
ton of the Island of Cuba shall not recog-
nize or contract other claims or debts
which shall take precedence of any claim of
the United States"

THE JEFFRIES-ROH HIN CASE.
More Testimony in the Injunction
Suit in Cincinnati.


CINCINNATI, Ohio, February SIN the
hearing today on the application for an
injunction against the Jeffries-Ruhlin pro-
posed contest on February II, George F.
Dieterle, president of the Saengerfest Ath-
letic Club, resumed the stand. He identi-
fed copies of local German papers that
were admitted in evidence. These papers
contained accounts of the proceedings of
German societies protesting against the OBJ
structions to the Jeffries-Ruhlin contest, in
cluding resolutions that lit would be bet
ter for the governor to send the emergency
fund Of $4,000 here to be applied to the
Saengerfest debt than to spend 1T In send
ing militia to prevent the fight"
Dr. Muscroft, formerly police surgeon and
coroner testified to being the surgeon of
athletic clubs, and attending about forty
fights in Cincinnati. He had never seen
any brutality or any one seriously hurt
William Madden, manager of Rubin and
Martin, was the next witness. The rules of
the Marquis of Queepsbury had been
changed he said, SO as to judge by points
in contests. There had been no prize fights
in late years, all contests now were for
points. Jeffries and Rubin were boxers, he
said, and neither ever had been in a prize
fight. He testified that the last prize fight
was in Mississippi eleven years ago, when
Sullivan and Kilrain fought.
On cross-examnation Madden was sharply
questioned by Judge Harmon. He was an
apt witness in testifying to his expe-
rience as prize fighter, boxer, teacher of the
manly art, manager Of Sullivan, Mitchell
Dempsey, McAuliffe and others.
Madden testified that Rubin has been
bound to meet Jeffries, and if the contest
is not held here February Is 1t will be held
elsewhere. When asked why fighting had
been stopped in New York he said the poll
ticians had become jealous, and in their
controversies the Horton law was repealed.
