Dr. Phillips' Lecture. '
Friday evening- the, fitudeuts of
the University had the ;pleasuret of
hearing1 an informal talk about a re
cent trip to Cuba by" Dr. William
B. Phillips, formerly a ... member "of
the Universltv faculty and at pres
ent a mining; nityr Sresjdrng at
Pittsburg", Pa. Genara Hail was
well filled when President Alder
man introduced the speaker of the
evening. After indulging in some
amusing pleasantries, Dr. Phillips
said that he went- to Cuba for the
purpose of looking after some min
ing and railroad interests, visiting
the Province of Santiago, which is
the great mining" section of the
island. '
"Manganese ore is a very valua
ble product of these mines. There
are but few deposits 1 of the ore
found in the world. The only rivals
of the Cuban deposits: are in the
United States of Columbia. ' The
Cuban mines are at present suffer
on account of the removal of the
Spaniards. The Cubans will not
work tvyo days fn succession ,t The
miners live in large shacks made of
bamboo and thatched with palm
Jeaves. Their food is mainly bread
and cod-fish..,, It is precisely this
section of i' Cuba which Richard
Harding Davis describes' and deals
w'th under the ! name of a South picture Frames, Mirrors,

The speaker' next told of his visit
to the battle-fields. Where the re
cent unpleasantness vas in evidence.
"After everything is over," he. paid,
"is the best time to visit a battle
field;' , VJWie,, position .at San Juan
Hill is unusually strong, and if any
but: Spaniards had held it we could
not; have taken it without' dosing
10,000 men. We owe its capture
and the fall of Santiago to the negro
troops of the 7th Cavalry, TJ. S. A
All this talk about the. Rough Rid
ers :is poppy-cock and tommy-rot.
But for those negroes the Rough
Riders woidd have been annihilated
and the 71st New York would never
have gotten home. I was not there
but I have talked with many volun
teers and regulars. Their unani
mous verdict was that the negro
troops captured San Juan Hill. "
Although there was a noticeable
lack of- plan and logical , sequence
about Dr. Phillips' talk, yet it was
thoroughly enjoyed. In an infor
mal way he said many amusing and
instructive things.
