In ad- dition the civillans who were em- ployed by the revolutionary govern- ment before Cuban independence was | achieved have united to present their ;rlaims for compensation, the allow- | ance of which would increase the to- tal amount which the Cuban Govefn- | ment must borrow to not less than | '$75,000,000.

C., Dec. 2.—The trus- tees of Trinity -College. voted to-day, 18 to 7, not to accept the resignation of Dr. John S. Bassett, professor of | history, who, has been bitterly attack- | ed in Southern newspapers. because of | a eulogy on’ Booker T. Washington contained in a recent magazine arti- cle written by Dr. Bassett. In a state- ment the trustees say: “Candor impels us to admit our re- gret that Professor Bassett has ex- pressed certain opinions which gave offense to many, and we are glad to find that these opinions were eypress- ed solely on his own authority, through a medium which is in ne sense an organ of the college and not at all in his capacity as a college of- ficial, so .that neither this board nor the college can be held responsible for them. P “On the contrary, it clearly appears the the faculty and the students dis- agree with certain of Professor Ba sett's opinions, so far as we can as certain, unanimously. Neither do we agree with him. Nevertheless, both faculty and students with equal unan- imity have manifested their desire that this resignation be not accepted, which we do decline to accept. “We state as a fact that Professor Bassett does not believe nor does he each social equality and we have con- fidence in him, both as a man and a teacher.” —————— FIFTEEN MEMBERS OF MAFIA ARE CAPTURED| Police Make a Raid in Philadelphia and Find Every Man Armed.

Squires, a stockman of Bishop, Cal., has found a lost brother, Albert M. Squires, in this city. Five months ago they were in the cattle: business gether. Albert started in July for Fort Smith, Ark., to visit relatives. He reached Reno, Nev., and was ther drugged and robbed, but he readily ob- | tained more money and contipued his, to- journey. Several weeks after his ar- fival at Fort Smith his-mind became unbalanced and his - brother, Isaac, Jcame East to take him home. When he arrived at Fort Smith Albert seemed to have entirely recovered and | the two started home by way of Cof- feyville, Kans., where they visited oth- er relatives. They left Coffeyville with Albert apparentiy in sound mind, but | when Isaac awakened in Kansas City i the next morning his brother was gone. | His berth had not been occupied and | no one had seen him after the train left | Yates Center. Isaac returned to Cali- | fornta without him. > Three weeks ago the Sherift of this county arrested a man supposed to be |a tramp, who had taken possession of a farmer's strawstack near Garnett. When searched 33 in silver was found in his pockets, but the money was | black with smoke and had evidently | passed through the fire. The Sherift | believed he had captured a safe blower and held him for investigation. The prisoner called for a preacher and to him confessed that he had com-’ | mitted a crime in California and said officers were on his trail. He gave th name of Albert Squires and told preacher that a reward had been- of fered by the -Sheriff at Bishop for his | arrest. So rationally did he talk that | it was not suspected that he was de- mented. A message was sent to California and the reply came back that he was not | wanted for a crime, but to hold him | until hig relatives could arrive. The | message also saild that Squires should | have about $200 in his pockets. A search revealed the fact that the | demented man had buiit a fire wirle tramping about and had used his money for fuel. The rim of his pock- | etbook and severdl silver dollars were found in the ashes. . | Isaac Squires started home with his | brother to-night. He believes that the | latter’s condition is due entirely to his experience in Reno, Nev., where he was drugged. . ——e——————— Price of 0il Advanced.
