A very doleful vail was reported il
the papers as coming from Ellis
Ward, the veteran coach of University
of Pennsylvania aquatics. He was
reported as saying that he had almost
no veterans aud a poor lot of new
candidates. Indeed there generally
comes from Philadelphia report that
a lot of consumptives are trying to
make the crew and on one else. However
the papers state that Pennsylvania now
has seven crews on the water regular.

The candidates for the crew at the
Naval Academy have been able to get
on the water again most of the days
of this week. They have been going
ont generally little after O'Clock
aud getting bare hour of work, but
on Wednesday they were on the water
by3 O'Clock and had two good hours of
practice. The air is still chilly
enough Ito insure that the oarsmen
need little urging to put life in their
work. 1t is more than usually neces-
sary that the crew men should have
every opportunity for practice this
year as the season opens so early, the
double header with Georgetown being
now definitely fixed for April z. The
good weather which has made prac-
tice on the water possible is therefore
very welcome here at Annapolis.
Those interested in the crew are much
delighted that Dreutzer, one of the
two crew men who remained from
last season, will not resign as was first
thought.

OF all the sports in which the NAVY
participates, fencing is the least in
teresting to the general spectator, but
it is the finest of all TO small coterie
to whom the science is an open book.
The fundamental thing to under
stand in fencing is that it is not a
combat primarily but an exhibition of
the best form and practice of swords
manship. 1t is held that the scien.
titic swordsman should be able to
overcome those who do not observe
the rules of the fence, but still there
is no decision on the number of touch
es only, form being the greet consid-
Grafton and overcoming slight differ.
ence in the number Of touches. Touch
es count only on the side of the sword
arm between certain represented points
and altogether there is little similar
ity to real combat. These rules gov
ern the use of the foil, but with duelI-
ing swords real fight is more close.

A midshipman writes to the Capital
and states that he has taken the
trouble to compare the scholastic
standing of the members of the last
graduating class with those who were
not athletes. He finds that the ath-
letes average somewhat better in their
studies than those who have not heen
active along such lines. These con.
clusions are sometimes questioned, but
it is believed that the weight Of intel.
ligent opinion is on the side of SINH.
lar conclusions to those reached by
the midshipman. There is still an.
it other side to the question, however.
is not merely that the athlete is likely
also to be better student thanothers.
but athletics gives him so much in
other lines that his friend who sticks
more closely to his books misses
Even If he was not quite up to the
others in studies it would pay to get
the benefits of athletics and not stand
quite so high. Education does not
mean merely getting good marks nor
even mastering in peTfunctory way
the contents of q book. The man
who has taken part in athletics is gen.
orally much more able to use to his
own advantage and that of others the
things which he has learned and that
is the only real object of education.

st. Johns is confident that it will
be represented by team that will do
it credit against the strong teams it
will have to meet. The veterans of
last years nine are Capt. McCaIdell,
Rouse, Duvall, Clark and Wrightson,
while those who played in some
games or on the Reserve are Mckinley,
Hutchins, Halbert aud Briscoe
These form strong nucleus, in them
selves, but st. Johns has been par.
tIcular fortunate in the entrance as
students of several good men who
have made regulations on some of the
strongest teams in the State. Among
these are Reynolds, who pitched on
che strong Havre de Grace nine last
year, and Hoover, second baseman, on
the same aggregation. Carroll, who
has played several seasons with Bel
Air, one of the best State organiza-
tions, is likely to hold down third

Pacific Liner Requested Aid While on
Reef.
Honolulu, Oct. 1.-The officers of
the Pacific liner Mongolia bitterly
criticise the officers of the Japanese
training ship Anagawa for their re.
fusal to assist the Mongolia at Midway
when assistance was badly needed.
The Mongolias officers say that when
Purser Rennie went aboard the Japa-
nese vessel to plead for help he was
ordered off. The officers of the Mon
golia declare that If the Anagawa had
given assistance the stranded steamer
could easily have been pulled off the
reef, but the Japanese refused any as
sistance, stating they had not enough
coal. Captain Porter, it is said, Of
fered them the coal which he was
throwing overheard to tighten the
Mongolia. The Japanese also refused,
1t is claimed, to sell or loan any Of the
launches from the Anagawa, although
the Mongolia's position at the time
was regarded as extremely perilous.
According to the Mongolia's officers
the Anagawa spent her time at Mid
way in making soundings around the
island without even asking permission
from the Americans.

WILL BE DISPLACED BY OFFICER
OF HIGHER RANK IF FORCE
EXCEEDS A BRIGADE.
COMMISSION TO VISIT REBEL CAMPS
WILL DISARM INSURGENTS AND
ALSO THE GOVERNMENTS
VOLUNTEER FORCE.

Havana, Oct. 1.-Governor Taft
proceeded to the palace at noon to
take over the government of Cuba.
The act was not accompanied by any
formal ceremony.
The city is quiet and the only Amer
lean forces now ashore consist of the
detail of marines guarding the treas
ury.
During the morning Brigadier Cen
eral Funston conferred with Mr.. Taft
regarding the location of the camps
for the first division of the American
troops to be landed here. The sites
have not been selected. Funston will
command all the troops in Cuba, but
If they exceed the dimensions of a
brigade an officer of higher rank will
be sent here from the United States.
1t is practically certain, however, that
no such contingency will arise, as it
is apparent that the maintenance of
the provisional government will not
require large number of troops.
Consul General Steinhart received
orders early in the day to telegraph to
the rebel commanders throughout the
island informing them of Governor
Taft's proclamation and the establish
ment of the provisional government.
Political Prisoners Released.
General Joseph. Miguel Gomez and
other conspiracy prisoners will be re-
leased from custody in order that, as
members of committee representing
the insurgents, they may sign an
agreement with Governor Taft that
the rebels will lay down their arms
Immediately.
A commission headed by General
Funston will be appointed to superin-
tend the actual laying down of arms
on the part of the rebels. This com.
mission will visit all the rebel camps
throughout the island and will be COM
posed of Americans only in order to
avoid creating any bad feeling or COM
plications. The commission also will
disarm the volunteer forces of the
government, leaving the Cuban forces
as they existed prior to the rebellion.
The commission will be accompanied
by disbursing officer, who will pay
! the expenses of the return home of the
! rebels and thus avoid dissatisfaction.
Jose Miguel Gomez and others, rep
resenting the insurgent forces in the
field, have written to Governor Taft
agreeing to lay down their arms at
once.

TAFT GOVERNOR OF CUBA
AMERICAN SECRETARY OF WAR
ASSUMES CONTROL OF ISL.
AND GOVERNMENT.

Havana, Oct. IAN American
provisional government assumed pos
session of Cuba when War Secretary
Taft's proclamation declaring himself
provisional governor of the island was
formally issued The proclamation
was published in the Official Gazette
and thousands of printed copies of the
document were distributed in Havana
and elsewhere. Il .
The terms of the proclamation
caused general satisfaction, especially
on account of the moderate terms in
which it is phrased. The statement is
plainly made that the provisional gov
eminent of Cuba is undertaken only
on account of the necessities of the
situation and the proclamation prom
Uses that the provisional government
will be maintained purely for the pur-
pose of restoring peace, order and pub
lie confidence until permanent gov
eminent is established. No one ap-
pears inclined to doubt the good inten-
tions of President Roosevelt and his
representatives and there is no appre-
hension of any serious trouble or re-
sistance to the provisional government
h any part Of Cuba.
While Governor Taft has not yet
taken possession of the palace this IS
only because ex-President Palma will
not be ready to vacate the official res
jdence for a day or two and Mr.. Taft
desires to do whatever he can to suit
the Gx-president's convenience.
No disturbance of any kind occurred
during the night. The business inter-
ests here are gratified' at the change
Of government. A striking feature Of
the provisional government is the fact
that the Cuban flag has not been low
cred This establishes a precedent in
provisional governments and proteo-
torates.
