Syracuse. Aug. 4-Herbert ". Faus. of
Elysburs, Pa, commodore Of the Syra-
cuse University crews, after receiving
his diploma as a graduate in the civil
engineering course of the Lyman c.
Smith College OF Applied Science to-day.
used the document to light cigar in the
Office Of Dean Sheppard Of that's college.
Il Will show you what I think Of your
institution and the diploma" said Faus,
as he touched a match to il.
Don't try that or there will be trou-
ble." said the dean by way Of warning.
Faus replied: If that is what YOU
mean, take of your glasses"
In an instant the dean struck him a
stinging blow on the nose and a second
later there was rough and tumble
fight during which Dean Sheppard called
on two Of his assistants for help. but it
was not forthcoming.
Then Faus went TO the home of Prof.
Paul Nugent and treated him likewise
Faus was incensed because he had been
kept in Syracuse a long time for the
diploma after he had made up work he
failed in because OF his activities in So
ciety and athletics.

Madrid. Aug. 4-The ban which has
been placed by the government upon
the proposed big Catholic demonstration
at San Sebastian next Sunday mas great
ly incensed the clericals and members
Of the Carlist party, who declare now
that they are more determined than ever
70 carry out their plans.
The anti-clericaI newspapers report that
the priests are urging the peasants TO
defend their religion with the last drop
Of their blood II necessary. and they
are even distributing arms among the
people.
In order to keep down the size OF the
crowd which threatens TO pour into san
Sebastian, the government has COM
Wandered the trains and steamboats,
which the demonstrators had expected to
use for the occasion.
This will. OF course. prevent the at
tendance OF many who had hoped TO go
from Bilbao and other points. II is said
that the government viii use the convey
ances thus seized to carry troops 10 san
Sebastian II is added that the soldiers
have been ordered 20 take ball cartridges
and have been instructed not 10 hesitate
20 use them II the occasion arises.
Autos Are Hired.
Naturally the seizure OF the trains aud
boats will greatly hamper the clericals,
but they are hiring every available auto
mobile and other vehicle that they can
lay their hands upon. Thousands have
made up their minds 10 walk II neces-
sary
a fresh complication arose to-day when
Il became known that the Republicans
were planning a counter demonstration
for sunday.
Prime Minister CanaIejas received a
delegation OF ciericals to-day. He urged
that they postpone the proposed demon
stration at san Sebastian until after the
settlement OF the existing strikes at Bill
baO. but his visitors insisted that this
was impossible at this late hour, as ell
arrangements had been made. They
chung 10 their purpose even when told
ti1at II they waited they could hold their
demonstration without government inter-
ference. They added that they could not
stop the crowd. as the movement had
gained such great strength.
Rich Men Give Aid.
1t is said that all the Basque provinces
will participate and that some Of the
richest men In Spain have promised
money in unlimited amounts to defray
the expenses.
More than 200 private yachts have been
placed at the disposal OF the people, and
other craft will be sent TO carry all who
wish 80 go 20 San Sebastian. The fol-
lowers Of the clericals at Bilbao and
other points say that the government is
pcwerless TO stop the demonstration.
