TIGERS CUBAN TRIP STOPPED
President Navin Puts Emphatic Veto
on Proposed Tour and No Detroit
Player VIII Go.

There will be no Cuban trip for the
Tigers after the league season closes.
President Napin has put his foot down
on such trip, and no members of the
Detroit team will be permitted to play
ball In Havana and other places. Any
player disobeying this order will be
fined $500. But this threat may not
make any change in the players plans.
One of the party said that nearly all
the regular men have made prepare.
tions to play ball on the island.
What can the club do If twelve of US
go to Cuba to play right after ths
seasons opens?" this player says. "If
we are fined we will not report in the
spring, and I guess that would settle
the matter 1t seems absurd and un-
just to object to us going to Cuba.

Meroe as it's capital The kings, Arura, Har-
slot, Nastasen, who reigned in the fifth and
fourth centuries, conquered considerable ter
ritory south of Meroe in Seminar and Kordofan
and possibly in Abyssinia. While the suzer-
ainty of the Ptolemies seems to have been rec
ognized for religious reasons. King Ergamenes,
by putting to death the priests who had de-
manded that he should abdicate in the time of
Ptolemy Nv Philopator (221-204), paved the way
for independence. Ptolemy w. Epiphanes (204-
1917 was able to resist his attack upon Egypt,
but not able to prevent his asserting of sover-
eighty in Ethiopia. Queen Candace seems to
have extended her power in the north, and
twenty-five provinces are said to have been
tributary to her. But her invasion of Egypt
was successfully resisted by Caius Petronius
in B. C. a. Napata, that had been rebuilt, was
destroyed by the Romans. Another Queen
Candace is mentioned in Acts viii. But gradu-
ally Meroe itself fell into ruins. To guard
against invasion by the Blemmyans, people
akin to the Bugaitae, the modern Beja Diocle-
tian moved the Nobatae, negro tribes of the
same stock the population of Kordofan. from
the oasis of khargeh into the Nile valley.
The mountain region of Abyssinia was prob.
badly inhabited in very early times by Semites
as well as Hamites Whether the original home
of the former was in Africa or in Arabia the
overflow population would naturally set in the
direction of this Alpine country. AS the native
name shows, the Semitic Ethiopians were still
in the nomadic state when they entered this
territory, priding themselves on being wan
derers, roaming freely wherever they liked
There were evidently successive waves of i'm
migration. If the Egyptian Hbst is of Semitic
origin, as can scarcely be doubted, they were

the Semitic element in Ethiopia seems to have
been reinforced, and the kingdom of Askum

ably written by Basiles between A. D. Sc and

zoscales, who controlled the coast from Masso-

and glass, titles and pottery. Especially inter-
esting was the pottery which is almost as thin
as biscuit china, and gives evidence OF Roman
influence Professor Sayce found Greek lnscrip-
tions showing how the city was destroyed at
the end of the fourth century A. D., by King
Of Axum since which event the city was un-
occupied.
Ethiopia was the name given by the Greeks
to a country south of Egypt variously conceiv-
ed as including only Nubia (Aethiopia AegyptD,
or Nubia, Sonnar Kordofan and Abyssin1a, or a
region extending Indefinitely east and west
from the Upper Nile but applied after the fall
of Meroe more particularly to Abyssinia. The
name is said to have had its origin from the
fact that it was alluded to by the Greeks as
country of sunburped faces.
Historically there were three distinct king
doms known as Ethiopia, those of Napata, Me-
roe and Askum. There is no definite evidence
that either of these included at any time all
the territory between the southern border of
Egypt and Bah el Mandeb.
Already in the time of the old empire the
Egyptians had relations with their southern
neighbors. From the forests cf Nubia they OBJ
tanned a large proportion of their timber, and
the city of Abu (Elephantine) derived its name
from the ivory which found it's way to this
place from the interior of Africa. King Uncas
&c 329O-326O B. CO. employed warriors belong

Bedouins. The early pictorial representations
of Nubian archers do not suggest that they
were negroes. A regular conquest of the coun-
try south of Syene apparently was not under
taken until the twelfth dynasty &c. 25222323).
The most powerful Nubian people at this time
was Kash or Kosh, the Hebrew Cush. It is
probable that the stock was originally Hamitic

established his frontier north of the second
cataract and built for its protection two forts
at Semneh and Kummeh on opposite sides of
the river. Whether the Hyksos kings ever held
possession of this territory is doubtful. At any
rate it had to be reorganized by Aahmes (1575-
1889, the founder of the eighteenth dynasty
and his successors. Napata probably had been
the capital of the Independent kingdom, since
