Some twenty or more of the alumni of Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., were entertained by Dr. Alexander Mackay- Smith Thursday night at his residence on 16th street. Among those présent were Mr. Wm. J. Boardman, Mr. C. E. Ball, Rev. J. W. Clark, Rev. H. Evan Cotton, Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, S. Herbert Giesy, F. H. Glazebrook, Rev. Alfred Harding, Senator Joseph R. Hawley, Robert C.

An election of officers of the alumni association for the ensuing year resulted in the choice of Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, president; Colonel Geo. A. Woodward, first vice president; Mr.»Wm. Fell Johnson, second vice president; 8. Herbert Giesy, secretary, and Rev. J. W- Clark, treasurer. After supper the guests gathered in the library and amid the fragrance of good Havana tobacco the president of the col- lege, Dr. Geo. Williamson Smith, told them of the condition ang, progress of their alma mater in a m entertaining speech. He compared Trinity favorably with the many colleges and universities he visited on his recent extended trip abroad. He said in part: 5.“ ix) “Trinity College is in as good a condi- tion as its best friends could wish in view of its resources.

University Lecture Ha’ The annual convention of the National Society of the Children of the American R:public commenced its sessions in the commodious lecture hall of the Columbian University at 9:30 o'clock this morning. From the opening hour until after 10 o'clock the time was devoted to the reception of members, and there was quite a larg? num- ber to respond, though the inclement weather, it is thought, kept many away. When the mecting was called to order a number of interesting papers were read, affecting the organization of the children in other cities, suck papers tending to show to the attendant members the im- portance of unison in the work and to en- courage that fraternal fe2lirg that should always be the first thought of the mem. bers. The attention of the younger mem: bers of the society was called to the pledg> of allegiance to “old glory.” The instructions in the pamphlet issued in regard to the matter are that members should have the right hand lifted, palm downward, to a line with the forehead and close to it. Standing thus, all repeat to- gether, slowly: “I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it stands: One nation indivisible, with liberty and jus- tice for all.” This “pledge of allegiance” was given, under the leadership of the Youth's Gom- panion, by more than 12,000,000 public school pupils during the national public School celebration of October 21, 1892. So patriotic and appropriate was this “pledge of allegiance” that it has been per- petuated and fs still given in thousands of schools. It may well be called the national salute, and its universal adoption in the public schools is strongly advocated by Patriotic educators and organizations. At 1 o'clock the society adjourned until Monday morning, when it will meet at 10 o'clock, and have a regular business ses- sion until 2. It Is believed that, should the weather be clear Monday, the attendance will be largely increased over what it was today. SSS RECEIVES PRISON SENTENCE. Gets Arson. Alberta Gibson, colored, convicted recent- ly in Criminal Court No. 1 of arson, in set- ting fire to the Girls’ Reform School, was today sentenced to serve two years in the New Jersey state prison at Trenton. Mr. ¥F. Edward Mitchell, counsel for Alberta, took occasion during the proceedings to criticise the management of the institution mentioned, but his statements were chal- lenged by Assistant District Attorney Shil- lington, who upheld the methods followed at the school. It is the intention of Attor- ney Mitchell to apply for the release of the girl by writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that she is under sixteen years of age, and, therefore, it is unlawful to gen- tence her to state’s prison. Other sentences imposed today by Chief Justice Bingham were as follows: Edward Robinson, ten months in jail; Henry Henson, second offense, petit lar- ceny, eighteen months in the New Jersey prison; William Williams, housebreaking, three years; Thomas Jefferson, second of- fense, petit larceny, eighteen. months, and for housebreaking, eighteen months, to take effect after expiration of sentence in lar- ceny case; Hamuei Holloway, second of- fense, petit larceny, two years, and Frank Barkley, larceny from the person, three years.

District Attorney Davis today in Crimi- nal Court No. 1 nolle prossed three charges of embezzlement and one charge of setting up ® gaming table against Dennis J. Canty and Herman W. Van Senden. The in- formations were filed last August, the de- fendants at that time being stock brokers. It. was alleged that they embezzled $4,900 from Daniel McMurtrie, $4,887.50 from Joseph Wilkins and $425 from Frederick W. Emrich. The latter was also the com- Plainant in the ‘charge of setting up a gaming table. Prior to nolle prossing the cases District Attorney Davis explained to Chief Justice Bingham that he haé@ received from each of the prosecuting witnesses letters set- ting forth that their claims against the defendants had been adjusted and request- ing that the cases not be prosecuted. Mr. Davis added that he had given the case a thorough investigation, and ao had Mesers. Taggart and Baker of his corps of assistants. The three, in view of all the circumstances, , agreed, Mr. Dat ed, that no ive was left the dis- trict attorney but to nolle pros. the cases. —_— A Reappointment.

LITTLE CIY-IN CUBA Terrible Condition of the Recon- centrados There. INSTANT RELIEF NEEDED (Copyright, 1898, by Charles M. Pepper.) Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. SAGUA LA GRANDE, Santa Clara Province, February 15, 1898. Sagua is one of the good places in which to study the future of Cuba. It has a Prosperovs past and a depressed present. To m2 the sky seems a deeper indigo and a deeper blue appears to tinge the horizon of the hills than im other parts of the island. Sagua is known as one of the finest Nttic cities in Cuba. Its streets are broader and better paved, its buildings are fresher, and there is less the air of decay than In other Cuban towns. In the palmy days of old Sagua was called progressive. It had what is known in the United States as public spirit. Most of the sugar raised in Santa Clara province was exported from the port at the mouth of the river twelve miles away. Sagua also offers advantages for studying the existing political conditions on the island and gleaning the prospect of au- tonomy, if any prospect remains. The insurgents in the surrounding country have not been so numerous as elsewhere, but they have been very resolute in the contest they have made against Spain's sovereignty. The flower of some of the best Cuban families has gone out from here to fight in the ranks by the side of the blacks from Santiago. If the promises of Mberal gov- ernment and the invitation to share in it would tempt the old Cuban families the evidences that the temptation was winning converts might be found in Sagua and vicinity. Stronghold of Spanish Sentiment. Moreover, this has been a stronghold of intransigente or ultra-loyal Spanish senti- ment. These intransigentes in the early days of the insurrection believed that soon- er than make concessions to the Cubans, Spain should keep the mastery of a desert. They thought they would rather see the yellow and red standard of Castile and Ar- ragon floating over an ash heap than to see the Cubans enjoying equal rights and privileges with themselves under that flag. As for the United States, the hint that it had a concern in what took place in this or any other part of Spain’s dominion gave them the rabies. The madstone had to be applied to quiet them. They insulted the American consul, and at times they were with difficulty kept from mobbing the consulate. In the conduct of the war against the insurgents they were uncom- promising champions of Weyler and Wey- lerism. The farmer alcalde who when per- mission was sought for the pacificoes to go out a little ways to cultivate the land ferociously replied that the only cultivation iit for them was in the cemetery reflected the feelings of all these intransigentes. Ample time has been given to test both the insurgents and the Spanish loyalists. The immediate effects of Captain General Blanco’s visit have also worn off. If the visit had left a lasting influence that would be plain. Nor would its results be a mat- ter of guesswork or of individual opin- ions. About opinions, it may be briefly said that I have gathered enough of them in Sagua and other towns in the prov- ince to ballast an empty ship. The au- tonomists think that Governor Marcos Garcia is making progress with autonomy, and those he has put in office are certainly exerting themselves to gain acceptance for the policy that is to keep them in office. The intransigentes are of the opinion that autonomy is a demonstrated failure, and they see no cause for giving support to it now, since they refused their support when it was an experiment which might have had a chance of success. The in- surgents are of the opinion that they have won their struggle for independence and that it is only a question of endurance until Spain is forced to admit that Cuba is forever lost to her. This much for the opinions of interested parties. Now for the conditions and the facts on which a disinterested judgment may be formed. As to the acceptance of autonomy by the prominent Cubans who have been identified with the insurrection, a brief statement is enough. There are no such persons in this locality. A few Cubans have embraced autonomy, but they were not in the field themselves and they have not been able to bring insurgents from the field. The presentations have not been mary. In Havana I had heard the name of young Lomo as that of a prominent Cu- ban who had presented himself. It turned out that his presentation took place a year ego. He was the son of Maj. Lomo, the Sparish military commander of the district, a commander after Weyler’s own heart. A Cuban mother was the explanation of young Lomo originally taking the field, as it is the explanation of mary other sons of Spanish fathers in the insurgent ranks. In the market place a fine-looking young fellow, who had a vegetable stall, was pointed out to me as a recent presentado. I think he had been a Mleutenant, but he was not able to induce any of his comrades in arms to surrender with him. Such other preseutadocs as there had been were “ma- jaes,” snakes in the grass, as they are called. There are no snakes in Cuba, yet the term seems to fit this class of insur- gents. They are not regularly organized. They glide over the country stealthily and are mor2 an irregular force of camp fol- lowers than’ of real fighters. Some of them took the inducements offered and embraced autonomy. They find themselves no better off than when they were in the hills, the woods and the swamps. They want to get back. The insurgents will not receive them. That fs all there is to be said about presen- tations in this district. Do Not Trast One Another. As to the intransigentes, they are not a talkative class of persons. They do not trust one another. But their actions speak for them. When Captain General Blanco was here they gave him a eold rec2ption. Everybody tells me that. Some of them forgot to decorate their houses until the military officers rode up and gave them a hint. Th2 widow de Ona, whose splendid home would grace Newport or Washington, did not throw it open for his entertainment, though Weyler was entertained there with overtiowing hospitality. Her family is in- transigente. Other Spanish residents found themselves unable to worthily entertain so show the feelings of a powerful and influ- ential class they cannot be ignored. The Spanish loyalists of Sagua are still in dead- ly hostility to the policy of autonomy. They made the captain general's reception the occasion of showing their distrust of the government which proposed autonomy. Perhaps I should not call them Spanish loy- alists. They are now thinking of some- thing else than the crown of young King Alfonso or the crumbling monarchy of Spain. They want to save their property. These intransigentes in this section are lit- erally the property owners. They are the merchants of the town. They hold the mortgages on the sugar plantations and the tobacco farms. The feeling of violent and unreasoning resentment toward the United States which dominated them in the days of Weylerism has changed into one of cringing cordiality. They will not talk among themselves, but they will talk to Americans. They want the protection of the United States. With them it is bust- ness, not sentiment. These intransigentes have no claim on the stars and stripes. Gomez has promised them protection for their property. They should be left to make terms with the insurgents. The Final Ontcome. These general aspects of the situation may help to give an idea of the final out- come. f£ome phases are of more pressing Interest and of more immediate concern to the American people. They cannot be es- ceped. The evening of my arrival in Sa- gua I thought for a while it might be pos- sible to forget them. The quiet streets of the city invited to a restful stroll. The two plezas, or parks, had only the tall palms for company. That was much better than the troops of skeleton beggars to which I have become accustomed. A few ragged women and gaunt children did gather at the doors and windows of the coffee houses, but when one has grown reed to It in the mass, starvation beggary in isolated and individual instances may be endured without having the sensibilities harrowed. I passed a pleasant evening thinking thet Ssgua, if a deserted town, was at least deserted by plague and hunger. The next day the delusion was cured. 1 have seen it elsewhere and might have krown that this pleasing spot could not be an exception. The stage has been reached where the remrant of the recencentrados sre too weak to leave their quarters to seek for food. .When rations are issued a@ member of the family may always he fcund to go for the food, but that is the greatest exertion of which they are capa- ble. That morning Mr. Machado, ihe au- tenomist alcalde, or mayor, came to the cersulate to see if Consul Walter B. Barker could not let them have some of the much advertised American relief. Consul Barker cculd not, because no relief had been re- ceived. The Alcalde's Story. I asked Alcalde Machado what the trou- tle was. He replied: “We have ro money with which to buy food, and the grocers will not trust us for more. Private charity is exhausted. { have called a meeting of cur local relief com- mittee, but they can do nothing. If we do not raise money by roon .oday there will be nv rations to distribute.” “How much do you owe the grocers “Three hurdred dollars. ‘And they will not give credit?” “They will not.” “Why do't the government at Havana help you?” We have telegr: phed, but if we get any Money from them it will not be for ten days. We must have money right away. jow many people are you feeding “We have been issuing between 1.80 2,000 rations daily, but that does not repre- scnt the number who need food. We nave 4,000 starving people on our hands. I do not know what Is to become of them. I am afraid most of them will end up in the cemetery, as so many have already cone.” “Are they not able to earn anything by working’ “Why, you ses, there is no work for them, but if there was these people coull not work. It is the sick people we are try- ing to relieve, and they are nearly all wo- men and childret “Where are the men?” B “A few are working on the plantations. and some are insurgents in the field but you understand there are not many men in these families.” “Were they killed?” “They are dead.” you further “Why were not these people placed back in their homes in the country?” The alcalde shrugged his shoulders. He is not the military commander of the dis- trict. Receiving no answer, I asked a sec- ond question. “Could they not be placed back Im the ecuntry now?” “There is nothing for them to eat ex- cept grass. They would need to be fed for two months before they could raise food to feed themselves.” This running dialogue was not necessary to give me information. I had been over the country and knew the surviving recon- centrados had not been put back in their homes. A mass of individual testimony had been given me of the way the military authorities thwarted every effort to extend the zone of cultivation beyond Blanco’s paper proclamations. But this autonomiste. alcalde’s frank statements presented the situation so vividly that I have given them almost verbatim. Some of us “chipped in” and enough was raised to guarantee that the rations would not be withheld from these sick women and children for one day more. After that I do not know whether the heavens will open and manna rain down to these raven mouths or wheth- er the hard-hearted grocers of Sagua will be persuaded to let the municipality extend its credit beyond $300. asul Barker's Eepor' Consul Barker has been writing fa!t reports of the conditions in his dis two years past. He early foresaw sults of the concentration polic, him what aid he had received in his official capacity. He replied: “A little while ago I received $68 from employes of the Department of Justice, ir Washington, for the ‘dispersario,” an in- stituuon which is caring for several hun- dred orphaned reconcentrado children. To- day authority has reached me to draw on a Philadelphia gentleman for $250). Of that amount $150 will go to the dispensario and the remaining $100 will be distributed by a committee of ladies among families which are starving, but which are not on the list of those who recely> rations. I have also received some vaccine points and have dis- tributed them here and in other towns. The smallpox is again epidemic and they will be us2ful. I expect soon to receive @ portion of the supplies which have been consigned to the consulate at Havana. I shall endeavor to distribute those supplies them as widely as possible and to make last as long as possible. Th towns in my consular distric: cludes the larger part of Sa ince. From the statements of the alcaldes of these towns I aim satisfied that 50,000 people need relief. I do not know that comment is necessary on the foregoing. I have given the exa ecnditions, because it is assumed that the American people are in earnest in their arxiety to relieve the suffering in Cu%: Permanent relief cannot come until use {s removed. Compromise with star- tion is impossible. If the period of fitfal diplomacy is drawirg to an end and some- thing elxe is coming the remnant of the Cuban population may be saved, provided American relief is based on an understand- ing of the scope it should take and on ihe certainty that it will not have to be con- ued indefinitely. = CHARLES M.
