 London, Sept S.-A few of the after- noon newspapers, in commenting on the subject, seem to anticipate that the sinking of the Firminist gunboat Crete a-eierrot by the German gunboat Fan ther at the entrance of GonaiVes mar Dor, may prove controversial. So summary a revenge for breach of ln- ternational courtesy" says the St James Gazette.

Boston. Sept S.-Commander Henry McCrea. of the gunboat Mach1as, now at the navy yard here, who recently was in Haytian waters on the Chicago in the United States interests, was re- quested to-day for his opinion on the situation there. Commander McCrea was much interested in the reports or the sinking of the Firminist gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot at the entrance of Gonaiyes harbor by the German gun boat Panther The commander said:
 s.From the newspaper accounts l presume the orders of the German com mander were to seize the Crete-a-Pier- rot and prevent further interference with innocent foreign commerce and to sustain the position that the Crete a-Pierrot had no right to seize or search foreign merchantmen, since the Firminist government had not been recognized as belligerents. As to the sinking or firing upon the Crete-a-Pier- prot. take it that this was done to prevent an explosion of the magazine from the fire started on the Crete-a- Pierrot by the crew"
 Continuing, Commander MeCrea said that in his opinion this incident means that the situation will be clarified. For one thing, he thought. the Firminist government would have no means of transporting troops by water from one part of the island to another.
 In naval circles here it is pointed out that the United States government, pyotecting other interests as it does. has to be careful. as the Firmfnists might become successful and eventual Iy have to be recognized. It Is stated that should Cape Haytien be taken by General Firmin's forces they would control two-thirds of the island.

perior weight, speed and experience of the
Cornhuskers gave them an insurmountable
advantage and Doane was helpless at all
stages of the contest.
Short halves of twenty minutes were
played, Nebraska scoring two touchdowns
In the first and then running over their
opponents in the final half, amassing in the
aggregate min touchdowns. Benedict
kicked enough Of the goals to boost the
C~ornhuskers' total over the half hundred
mark, a score that only one Nebraska
eleven has equalled in recent years.
Doane was weakened early in the game
by the loss. of Fuhrer, left tackle and cap
and compelled his retirement. Excepting
one man, the center, Doane was OUT
and their heavier opponents plunsed
through the line or skirted the ends for
gains that were fairly monotonous. Only

quently in Juggling the oval and breaking

of these was for seventy yards, the longest
dash of the game. Benedict at quarter
tried his hand at carrying the ball and on
a double pass filtered through a hole made
by the Cornhusker forwards and raced
fifty yards for a touchdown. Two Of the
Nebraska touchdowns were chalked up by
Nickel, whose line bucking was a material
factor in the victory.
Booth sent in several of his substitutes in
the second half, and of these Englehart. an
boy, and Simodynes, who halls from
Wahoo, both freshmen. gave evidence OF

line Hereby and 1t crumbled every time he
essayed to advance the ball. Simodynes
likewise bowed form and is credited with
one of the touchdowns. Eager also broke
away for several long runs, once for fifty
yards.
Nebraska's interference worked to per-
lection, Doane being too light to break up
the plays: Not once were the CoTnhuslSoT5

Fifteen hundred enthusiasts witnessed
the play, Nebraska's performance being so
satisfactory that Booth now is encouraged
