Royal, tm G St, |HAVANA NEWSPAPERS (Continued from First Page.) dated Matanzas or Sagua or Trinidad ap- pear in “La Lucha,” and then a blank quar- ter or third of a column stares its readers in the face. they know what this means. “La Lucha” has had some interesting war news, which has been too favorable to the insurgents, and the censor has cut it out. Not having miscellany to fill up, or not caring to fill up with miscellany, the paper comes out with those blank spaces in its columns. “La Lucha” has been called the personal organ of General Weyler. It seems to follow pretty closely Weyler's idezs. and nothing unfriendly to him ever slips into its columns. Nevertheless, “La Lucha” is enterprising, and by this appar- ent support of Weyler it manages to print a great many articles which would other- wise not get past the censor. ‘‘La Lucha’s” editorial style is breezy and snappy. The paper is itself a free lance. It attacks many of the abuses growing out of the mili- iary, system, and has been fierce in uncov- ing whether the municipal or military. Ss also done something to mitigate the horrors of the plague spots at Guines and other places where the paci- re camped. San Miguel, the editor 4a Lucha,” believes in personal journal- ism. He fights duels. The walls of his office are adorned with weapons of all kinds and rem all count: To callers who are obstreperous in demanding the retraction he offers the wide choice of weapons.- I have heen told that San Miguel is at heart an annexationist, and that he looks to see Cuba under the stars and stripes. This is doubtful. He is a thorough Spaniard, who recognizes the abuse of his own govern- ment, but has no faith in the Cubans. If he leans toward annexation to the United States, it is only as a choice between Cu- ban independence and American sovereign- t¥.. “La Union Constitucionnal.” “La Union Constitucianal” is the ogan of the tories. It is fiercely loyal, is against amnesty, gives the reforms cold support and lays all the woes of Spain to the home movement. “La Union Constitucional”’ sents the higher Spanish official the merchanis and the army. It s in daily controversies with “La Lu- cha™and “Diario,” because of their liberal tendencies. Its news is somewhat meager. Its editorial articles are well written, but dull. It blazes forth constantly and fierce- ly against the United States. “La Union” claimed the lion's share of the credit for ng out Martinez Campos, when the old general was trying to save Cuba to Spain by getting all parties to agree to a com- pretiensive system of reforms. The auton- omistas and the feformistas supported him, but the Union Constituciouals, who Were Bourbons, built a fire in his rear and he had to go home. “EL Comercio.” El Comercio” is another fiercely loyal Spanish paper. It is not much of a news- paper, and represents no distinct political party. It is known as the organ of the volunteers and the middle-class Spaniards. The volunteers are composed of the young feliows who are clerks in the shops and offices. They have more loyalty than di cretion. It is “El Comercio” which abuses the American consuls savagely, and which advises spitting a hundred times in the faces of the Americans. “EL Pais? “El Pais” is an able and dignified journal. It is the organ of the autonomistas. Its articles are well written, and much dis- crimination is shown in the matter it pub- lishes. “El Pais has had some of the ablest literary men in Cuba on its staff, and it still maintains a high literary acter. Its discussion of European J. s especially good. The ablest article I © seen on the outcome of the war be- n Greece and Turkey appeared in “El as a philosophical and tion not surpassed by thing found in the dailies of Londor erlin on the same subject.

All the while keeps up a brave fight against “La Union Constitucional,” and its controversial arti- cles show high ability in political viscus- sion. “EL Avisador Commercial.” Avisador Commercial,” or the Coin- mercial Adverti: is ibed by its j mame. It is devoted to trade, and not to politics, and has little to say on the exist- ing troubles. There are two or three week- ly papers in Havana, but they are cf no great consequence.

REPORTED INDIAN POW-wow. hits off » to “Don in look- No Advices Received by Authorities. The Washington authorities have re- ceived no advices as to the holding of a big pow-wow among the Uncompahgre Utes in Utah, as reported, to protest against the projected allotments and open- ing of the lands in severalty. Like many of the tribes who view allot- ments with disfavor, as contrary to their traditions and customs, the Uncompahgres have not wanted their lands divided, and believe that their rights are thus invaded. ‘They claim a much larger stretch of ter- ritory than {s recognized by Congress, which, after an executive order setting apart the Utah valley of the Uintah river, aifected by later governmental acts, gave them the right to allot these lands of the reservation. The allotments were di- rected by the Indian appropriation bill for 1896-07, which provided for the allotment in severality of all agriculture lands of the Uncompahgre Utes and the opening of all unaliotted lands on April 1, 189s, to location and entry,except those containing gilsonite, asphait, claterite and similar valuable de- posits. These deposits have been the issue of a great fight in Congress, and the In- dians probably base their opposition to some extent on the ground that these val- uable properties belong to them. The al- loupnts have not yet begun. Chief Cha- vanaw, apparently the leader in_ the trouble, is a half-breed Indian. The affair is not expected to result in any serious trouble at this time, and the Indian offi- cials have no uneasiness as to the outcome. eS Canal Contracts Awarded. Gen. Wilson, chief of engineers, has awarded the following large contracts for work on the Illinois and Mississippi canal: For construction of eight miles of canal and paving slope to Katz, Crandall and Cal- Jahan of Omaha, at a total cost of $119,- 475; for foundations for eleven locks and two aqueducts to Coggan & Paund of Chi- ccgo, at $95,736; for two concrete arch cul- verts and six cast iron pipe culverts to McArthur Bros. & Co. of Chicago, at $24,- 816. the Federal oe Against the Ticket Scalpern. The Senate committee on interstate com- merce today heard an argument by George H. Daniel, general passenger agent of the New York Central road, in advocacy of the anti-scalper bill. He sald the bill was nec- essary to protect the more prosperous roads against those that are insolvent, and also to protect them against counterfeiting. No vote was taken on the bill, though a motion to meet again next Saturday for its con- sidration was voted down. The ing bill Was not discussed. oon THE GONZAGA- GRADUATES ‘Address by Dr. Conaty;<Reotor of Catholic University. i at Award of Prizes by Archbishop Mar- ° tinelli-Subjects 6f Urations— List of eee 2k 3 4 The forty-eighth annaxl ¢ommencement exercises of Gonzaga College occurred this morning at Gonzaga Hail at’ 10 o'clock be; fore a large audience." The stage decorations were of palms, and in the hall were hung che American flag, the Gonzaga College colors and the papal flag. On the stage a number of prominent men sat, among them being Archbishop Martirelli, Mgr. Sbaretti, Dr. Conaty, rec- tor of the Catholic University; Rev. Havens Richards, rector of the Georgetown University; Rev. C. Gillespie, president of Gonzaga College; Rev. T. A. Conway, vice president of Gonzaga College; Rev. Father Schandelle and Rev. Father Backner cf Georgetown; Rev. Father Boniface, Order of St. Francis; Rev. Father Schannel, S. J.; Rev. Father Farner, O. P.; Rev. Father Dougherty, Rev. Father O'Connell, Rev. Father Dolan, Rev. Father Colgar, Dis- trict Commissioners Ross, Wight and Black, Prof. Jean Des Gerens, H. M.; Messrs. Chas. W. Handy, Milton E. Smith, N. H. Shea, W. J. Frizzell and Dr. Lech- fuller. Ae Band Opens Program. The exercises were opened by the College Band playing the “Faculty March,” after which recitations were given as follows: James Markey, “Julius Cacsar;” J. Vincent Coughlan, “Shakespeare's Roman Pollti- cian;” Henry A. Hegarty, “Shakespearc’s Roman Orator;” Robert J. Archstetter, “Shakespeare's. Reman Gentleman.” At the conclusion of these recitations Rev. Thomas J. Conaty, rector of the Catholic University of America, spoke of the aims ard objects of college instruction, dwelling particularly upon the point that coliege education was becoming more and more 2 part of the general education of men seek- ing to advance themselves in the prof. sional line, as well as in the lines of bus! ness. College education broadens a man’s views, and makes him familiar with the thought of the world of letters. It familiar- izes him with the history of the past and creates for him friendships with the great minds that have ruled nations from the beginning of civilization to the present time. It makes him realize that all na- tions form one brotherhood in the realm of thought, and that from the experience of the past he may be able to guide the pres- ent and prepare for the fu He dwelt very strongly upen the nece: he ugh instruction in college work, and urzed the young men to take advantage of th splendid opportunities presented to them to acquire a liberal education. The broader the knowledge the more enjoyable becomes the society of bocks; for by them men live over again the lives of people whos rames are Known cnly to us by tie classic works which have been preserved for us through the ages. Duty of Parents, Parents should make sacrifices to give their children as broad and liberal an edu- cation as possible, and ,paticularly whe this education was received in an atmos phere of religicn. The ‘olltge leads from the school to the universfty,"knd the college selects from the schools the jnen whom God has endowed witi s fitting them for leadership. College men shoyld be leaders; and in order to lead inte} id theif lasting founda i are guaranteed to us by relizion! The Catholic Church stands in the front rank of educa- tion, because it hus thebhisBion to educate men according to the it of God, and the underlying principles of; education should he the development of tii whole man, soul as weil as body, and soul,as well as mind, in the rand better knowledge of God, because of the greater*and! better famili- arity with human knowltdgei Combated an Idea, He spoke against the idea that denomina- tionalism should have Wo place in college or higher education by pleading that man always and everywhere needed his Chris- tian faith to be a part of his education, no matter in what field he entered, and this protection was needed more as men ad- vanced into the ficlds of knowledge, where their minds came in contact with the unre- ligious or pagan thoughts of scholarshi| He alluded to the gentleman as described by Shakespeare, in the person of Brutus, and said that he was a specimen of the Pégan gentleman, which was the best that nature, unaided by Christian revela- tion, could produce. We are called to be Christian gentlemen, and we are called to be Christian scholars. The werld neds Christian leaders, with faith in their lives and knowledge in their mizds capable of leading the people uc- ccrding to the best interests of education, Sch training is the privilege of a college lke this, where teachers devoted to schul- arship and religion place within your reach the opportunities that will make you Chris- tian gentlemen and Christian scholars. solid ard gre Archbishop Awards Prizes, After these remarks, Archbishop Marti- nelli awarded the prizes and especially ca- ressed the smallest boy receiving one, Dan- fel F.

The police of the third precinct are in- vestigating a serious assault. which was committed by one colored man on another, on 17th street northwest. between H and I streets, about 9:20 o’clock last night. When the police appeared on the scene in response to a call for help they found the victim lying on the pavement. He was suffering from a frightful wound on the head, and was unconscious. The patrol wagon was called and the wounded man placed in it and driven to the Emergency Hospital. Becauneroe his condition he was unable to give the police any account of the af- fair, nor could he even tell his name or address. Later, however, when he had re- gained consciousness, he said his name was John Jennings. Today the hospital surgeons operated on him, having found that his skull had been fractured, and this afternoon he was reported as doing well. While the police have not yet learned of the real facts connected with the as- sault, they were told that Jennings and the other man had gotten off a street car just before the trouble happened. It is believed that they had some words and got off to settle their dispute. Both are young men, ) Warm weather plays havoc ¢ with tender feet.
