Patriotic Sons Endorse
Governor Brumbaugh

The following resolution, endorsing
Governor Brumbaugh's administration,
was put before the =. O. S. of A. con-
Vention this afternoons:
Resolved, That we view with ap-
prehension the unenviable spectacle of
the destruction of the comprehensive
influence for the good of our State, and
the rapid advancement of the cause of
education. in the proposed investiga-
tion of Governor NJ. G. Brum mbaugh.
That we believe in Governor Brum-
baugh as a staunch and loyal friend of
the public schools, and a great ad-
vocate of the large benefits to accrue
to the people by the operation of the
school code in friendly hands. Much
has been accomplished on these lines
of vocational schools, the complete
control and ownership of the normal
schools, the augmenting of the per-
manent school fund and the general
acceptance of the worth of the school
code as a whole.
That we hope in an early agree
ment between conflicting interests to
the effect, that confidence may be re-
stored in all and that the great infiu-
ence for good that Governor NJ. c..
Brumbaugh is capable of shall be re-
stored in all it's power"

Four steamers, aggregating 9,743
tons, are on to-day's list of vessels
sunk as a result of the new Teutonlc
blockade measures.
Neutral vessels are again figuring in
the sinkings reported. one of to-day's
announced victims of the submarine
operations was Dutch and another
Norwegian. \ Russian and a British
steamer were the other two. In ad-
ditiona a British tTawler was sunk.
Military operations during the last
"a hours so far as reported, We're OF
the same relatively minor nature as
for several days past.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Sinking by
German submarine of the Swedish
steamer Skogland, which had five
Americans aboard, after the crew had
been given ten minutes to take TO tlgeir
boats, was reported by Consul Gen
eral Hurst, at Barcelona, Spain, in a
message to-day to the State Depart
ment. No one was injured and the
crew landed safely at Tarragona,
Spain.
The Skogland, a vessel of 1897 tons
net, sailed from Norfolk January 26.
for Bagnol, Italy. Consul General
Hurst, in his dispatch, said there were
&c in her crew, five of whom claim
American citizenship. He gives their
names as James Braner, Brooklyn, \.

CUBAN FORCES
PREPARING FOR
DECISIVE FIGHT
Havana Believes Both Sides
Are Gathering For Supreme
Effort at Camaguey

Havana, Feb. 22.-For the third
successive day no word of fighting has
reached the capital, and the belief is
growing that both sides are gathering
their forces for supereme effort at
Camaguey
Colonel Pujol, whose forces CO.
operated with those of Colonel Collazo
in taking of Sancti Spiritus. is reported
as already having crossed from Santa
Clara province into Camaguey prov
ince, and it was intimated i'm a we'll
informed quarter to-day that he prob
ably will attack the Camaguey capital
tomorrow. Santiago De Cuba, ap-
parently is to be left in the hands of
the rebels until Camaguey has been
cleared.
report reached Havana to-day
that the American steamer Tivives
from Jamaica for New York by way
OF Santiago De Cuba, left Santiago last
night crowded with Americans resi-
dent of Santiago and tourists who had
been unable to leave because of the
uprising. According to this report
the steamship officials had suspended
the regular stop of the TiYives at San
tiago on account OF the situation
there, but the American consul, in
agreement with the commander of the
two American warships there, ordered
her to enter the harbor to take off the
Americans.
1t is reliably stated that President
Monocal is preparing a proclamation
granting amnesty to those members of
the military who have been Obliged to
take up arms against his government
by orders of their superiors, and to all
civilians involved in the revolt who
lay down their arms. 1t is said to be
his intention to allow such soldiers to
be reincorporated in the army.
Reports from many officers in the
field given out at the palace continue
to show an undiminished number of
insurgents Isurrendering to the loyal
forces.

Further Changes Rumored
In Harrisburg Diocese

Rumors of further changes in the
clergy of the Roman Catholic Diocese
of Harrisburg could not be verified
to-day. Bishop Philip r. McDevitt
was out of the city. The Rt. Rev.
Monsignor M. NJ. Hassett. DID, who
was transferred from st. Patrick's Ca
thedral to Shamokin, left yesterday TO
visit his new charge.
The Rev. T. b. Johnson, assistant at
ST. Patrick's cathedral, had no knowl-
edge of any further changes. He said
any information along this line would
have to come from Bishop McDevitt.
The changes announced yesterday are
in effect during the week of Febru-
airy 25. 1t is understood that the
members of the clergy who have been
transferred will not leave for their
new fields before Monday.
