COUNT TOLSTOI EXILED
DECREE OF EXPULSION FINALLY
SIGNED BY THE CZAR.
Aged Author Must Quit Russia-Stu-
dents Decide Not to Partici-
pate i'm Examinations.

LONDON, April pa special dispatch
from Vienna says the Czar has signed a
decree expelling Count Tolstoi from Russia
and that the decree has been served.
The Russian universities were reopened
on SUNDAY. With the permission of the min
lister of public instruction. Gen. vannosky.
the students held a meeting and after four
hours debate adopted the following resolu-
tion by a vote of .561 to DDS: "The students.
confiding in the governments benevolent
intentions and desiring TO give time TO
accomplish necessary reforms. resolve to
beg the minister not to begin lectures In
the spring. and to defer the examinations
until autumn, when they could be attended
by comrades who are now excluded, be-
cause, in the contrary event. difficulties
might arise in the universities which we
wished to avoid"
The rector to-day informed the students
that General Vanovsky, the Russian minis
ter of public instruction, had refused to
defer the examinations until autumn or
make further concessions to the students.
Although the popular professor. M. Pet
rocky pleaded against an action which
would render il difficult for the Liberal
minister to carry through his benevolent
intentions the students decided against
participating in the examinations They re-
solved, however, not TO create obstruction
and the minority agreed to submit to the
will of the majority. The electro-technical.
and civil engineering, the women's medical
and the women's academic institutions
will also decide against taking the examin-
atoms. The sincere friends of the students
regret the step taken in this respect, be-
lieving that the students should allow the
recall of the absentees 10 come as an act
of grace from the government and should
not attempt TO force concessions.

But General Chaffee Told Waldersee
His Men Would Continue to
Act as Heretofore.
GUARANTEE TO THE POWERS
CHING AND CHANG PROMISE PRO-
LECTION TO FOREIGNERS.
Say There Are Enough Chinese
Withdraw-More Heads Asked.

PEK1NG, April 23-Many applications
have been made to Mr.. Rockhin and Gen.
Chaffee by Chinese of all degrees for the
retention in China of the American troops
until the general withdrawal of the troops
of all the powers. Many of those who are
making this request think the withdrawal
of the Americans will make the others re-
main longer There are also people who
do not desire to see any of the soldiers
go. fearing anarchy and an uprising
against foreigners. The soldiers who re-
turn do so with all honors of war.
Field Marshal Won waldersee has made
an application that the gate of the For
bldden City be guarded by German troops
after the departure of the Americans. Gen.
Chaffee has replied that American soldiers
will continue to guard the gate. At this
the Germans are indignant saying this
impugns their honesty. and that If the
United States desires TO do her share of
policing the city. she should leave behind
enough troops for that purpose; that mere
ly few men belonging TO the legation
guards should control the gate which will
be within the German quarters cannot be
allowed. If General Chaffee persists in this
course, diplomatic representations will be
made in the matter.
The ministers of the foreign powers are
meeting daily. They do not at present
show disposition to reduce the claims,
which many think to be extremely reason
able. - - -

Excitement at Santiago.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 2S.-Intense
partisan excitement was caused here yes
terday by the alleged attempt of the Re
publican party TO exclude members of the
National party from the registration
places. 1t is asserted that hundreds of
voters were refused registration certificates
on various pretexts, and that the registra-
ton boards gave preference to Republicans
over Nationalists who were ahead of them
in the line. The principal cause of protest
rises from the qualification requiring a
voter TO be able TO read and write, the
tests being made without regard to age.
Many fairly educated applicants were re-
fused certificates because they had mis-
spelled certain words. Ten men in pre-
cinct declare that they were refused the
privilege of registering to-day because they
were unable TO present birth certificates
showing their exact ages. although there
could be no question that tbs. were old
enough.
