GENERAL BuckNER DEAD

Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, the
last surviving lieutenant general of
the Confederate army, who died at his
home near Munfordvi11e, KY, Thurs
day night, was one of the most gallant
produced. He was educated at West
Point and served with valor as a
young officer in the Mexican war.
For meritorious conduct at the bat
tie of Churubusco he was breveted
first lieutenant, and soon afterwards
captain for exceptional gallantry at
the battle of Moline del Rey. After
the Mexican war young Buckner was
an instructor at West Point. In 1856
he resigned from the army. Shortly

General Buckner was governor of
Kentucky four years-1887 to 1881
and was a candidate for vice presi-

his ninety-f1rst year, but until a few

Davidson.-A clerical force of stu
dents were busy one week recently in
mailing from the administration build

Id review an account of matters re-
lating more especially to this the
seventy ty-seventh session of the college.
Doctor Martin notes that all the
members Of the faculty are full pro-
fessors and all studer ts from fresh
men to seniors are in classes taught
by men who took full university train
ing at the leading universities of
America and Europe. Davidson is
one of the very few colleges of the
land whose freshmen and sophomores
are not taught, in part, at least by
young men of limited expreince, who
hold the rank Of Instructor"
The addition to the teaching force
OF DR.. II. B. Arbuckle, as professor of
chemistry and of DR.. Charles N Wun-
der, as associate professor of astron-
omy and applied mathematics, the
promotion Of Professor A. Currie to a
full professorship, his department
being public speaking, education and
law, and the election of Mr.. Frank l..
jackson to the position of treasurer,
bursar and business manager, are all
very properly cited as evidences of
the steady growth and expansion OF
the institution.
The recent action Of the Synods of
the Carolinas. Georgia and Florida,
looking to q more substantial support
OF Church schools and colleges and
especially the resolution of the Synod
OF this State and of Florida, request

tton be given a place In the budget of

expected to result In a decided in

IN CUSTODY OF U. S.
BY MECADO AGAINST FEDERAL
tIzEKAI> UAJkC0. SALAZAR
AM KUJ4o.

Presidio, Tex, Jan. 1t.-IWenty-
eight hundred Mexican federal soi
diers, six generals, 100000 rounds OF
ammunition, two cannons, four large
field pieces and 500 civilian refugees
we're in the custody of the United
States army border patrol today as
the result of the federal evacuation OF
| Ojinaga, Mex, and the occupation Of
the Mexican village by General Villas
rebel forces. The distress of the ref
ugees is intense. They have scant
| food and no shelter. Men, women.
children, dogs, chickens, and cattle
are packed together in a space cover
ing several acres. About them are
scattered all the goods and baggage
brought in fight from Ojinaga.
Urgent requests for the Immediate
removal of soldiers and refugees to
some other places were sent by Major
McNamee to the war department,
through General Bliss.
Among results Of the rebel success
that places General Villas army in
undisputed control of a vast section
Of northern Mexico, are:
Federal Generals Mercado, Castro
Orphinal, Romero, Adune and Landa
are in custody of the United States
troops awaiting disposition by the war
department.
General Pascual Orozco and Gen
Ynez Salazar, commanders, escaped
along the border to some point remote
from Presidio Salazar was wounded
They were accompanied by Gen. Car
vac and Gen. Rojas and 800 cavalry
men. Salazar and Orozco are being
watched for in the United States for
indictments charging them with vio-
lating the neutrality laws.
General Landa said he was certain
all the federal troops escaped.
Charges of cowardice were made
against Orozco, Salazar and Rojas
General Mercado said these generals
abandoned their troops at the begin
ming of the battle and thus weakened
the federal defense.
