SAILORS ARE BLAMED
Charged With Starting Recent
Trouble at Santiago.
CUBAN OFFICIALS REPORT
Ensign Brisbin Accused of Assaulting
Chief of Police.
INQUIRY STILL IN PROGRESS
Statement of Facts Forwarded to the
War Department by Gov
ernor Magoon.
INQUIRY STILL IN PROGRESS

In conformity with his promise to keep
the War Department fully advised of the
results of the investigation being made by
him into the collision between the sailors
of the l.. S. S. Tacoma and the police OF
Santiago last week Gov. MagoOn has sup
piled the department by cable with copy
of a report made to him by the Cuban Of
ficer at Santiago corresponding to a United
States district attorney. This report Is
only partial, as the investigation Is still
in progress but so far it goes it places
the entire blame for the collision upon the
liberty party from the Tacoma. alleging
that the men were intoxicated: that they
assaulted the police first. and that Ensign
BrIsbin (who Is described In the report as
Lieut. Briston') actually began the diff
Guilty by attempting to disarm Capt. Lay,
the chief of the Santiago police. The text
of the report is as follows:
20 Some twenty-five sailors of the cruiser
Tacoma were having supper at the Hotel
Dos I.eones. where they had drinks of
beer, wine and plus Ca native drink. The
supper ended at l am. and the different
groups set out for the central part of the
city. One of these groups. from twelve to
fifteen In number. went with Lieut.. Briston
to the Cafe Union to get drink of plus,
and a short time aftcrward Capt Lay ar
rived. dressed in citizens clothing. and,
having had some coffee, went out and stood
on the sidewalk.
Lieut.. Briston went out and commenced
to talk with Capt Lay, who went along,
conversng In friendly way. All of sud-
den. without it having been possible to as
certain what was the cause the Americans.
at a signal from Briston. fell on Capt. Lay
and took from him and broke his sword
cane.
ut appears that Lay in retreatng fired
two shots. which he denies having fired or
knowing who did so, producing a serious
wound in the thorax of Marine Andfe. l
understand that these two shots were not
altogether necessary since he had called for
help. and several policemen. to the number
of four or six. came up and put the Ameri-
cans to fight, the latter receiving bruises
and other wounds.
1T appears that the Americans picked up
clubs and pieces of iron and bottles, two
policemen receiving wounds besides Lay,
who was injured in the face and the glu-
teal region. Lay says he was on the ground
with several Americans over him, but l
suppose he was not thrown on the ground,
but kept retreatng until assistance arrived.
LAS charges exist against Lay, today, i
am asking the Judge to indict him in COM
pliance with your instructions for discharg-
ing firearms and for serious injuries in
ficted with violence. The investigation Is
beng continued TO prove, If it Is true. that
the police. after this incident, continued to
charge the Americans and fire upon them,
notwithstanding that they were fleeing to-
ward the docks, as claimed by the Ameri-
cans

CORNELL GOODS ARE ANGRY.
Proposition to Segregate Sexes Makes
Them Indignant

ITHACA, N. Y. May GA wave of indig-
nation has swept over Sage College. the
home of the Cornell goods. In consequence
of the proposal made by the men of the
College of Arts and Sciences Saturday
night to bring about a separation of the
sexes in university activity. and eventually
complete segregation.
Under the charter and under the endow-
ments of the Sage family. upon which the
university is somewhat dependent. the
scheme Of the men Is absolutely out Of the
question" declared one of the goods this
morning.
Miss Mary McCabe. chairman Of the ex-
ecutiye committee. said that, Of course. the
women could say nothing, but the associa-
ton Of the women of the college, with
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-05-06

Miss Martha Dodson at the head. Is Bit
terly opposed to the idea of segregation.
Cornell to them means as much for women
for men, and they resent the idea that
they should be separated from undergradu-
ate activity.
The Cornell Sun, the students paper,
came out editorially today in favor of sepa-
ration in undergraduate activities An
other interesting feature is the proposed
method of getting rid of the goods by rails
ing the age limit for entrance one year at
every college term.

"orehsrd a Liar" Says Bell.

'Orchad Is n liar when he says that
he was In Denver looking for me and
trying to get me In July or August.
1905. Why didn't he do business when
he and Haywood. as he says. drove out
- my house on East Thirteenth
avenue for the purpose OF getting me?''
This IL what General Sherman he'll
has to say of that part Of the testimony
In which the self.confcssed murderer
stated that he and Haywood hired a
buggy aud drove out to the Bell resi-.
dcnce for the purpose OF killing the

General Bell puts no faith In this
part OF the confession and declares
most omphatically that Orchard never
tired to kill him. He adds that Orch.

The fact is, that Orchard wasn't look

Denies Orchards Statement.

Denver.-In reference to the testi.
mony of Orchard that he had acted as
a go.between for the witness and Pet
tibone, Jacob Wolf says: ITS low
down, dirty lie. Orchard does not
know what the truth is. There Is not
a syllable of truth in the statement
that he addressed letters to me that
were intended for Pettibone. worked
for Pettibone eleven years. l opened

Boise, 1daho.-The lie was passed
by counsel. During the cross-examina

objected that the witness was not al.

Richardson insisted that he be allowed
to ask questions his own way.
