Bleacher Stand Collapses.

Ann Arbor, Mich. Weakened by
the cheering and stamping in unison
Of 1000 people, the west bleacher on
Ferry field collapsed ten minutes after
the second half Of the football game
between Michigan and Wisconsin had
begun. Almost miraculously none Of
the throng, who were precipitated to
the ground, were seriously injured.
The bleaoher had no seats, being mere
" series Of terraced platforms, run
ming up to a height of about II feet
on which the people stood. This fact
is believed to be responsible for the
lack of serious injuries as if the p
900 had been sitting many limbs would
have been broken. Less than dozen
of the occupants Of the crowded stand
we're hurt enough to have physician
attend them.

Information derived from those who

son for thinking that the Cuban gov
eminent would be unsuccessful in Sc
curing the cession to develop along
the lines they are taking now.
It is said that the American inhab-

ganize a provisional territorial gov
eminent and will shortly. send a rep
resentative to Washington to demand
recognition before the opening Of the
coming session Of congress. Inas-
much as the island is now largely own

it is anticipated that it will be posi-
