of autonomy ofCubuas a colo-

ed in the message he says;
"It is an idlo talking to. speak
of autonomy to the Cuban people.
, They have framed a constitution
for a sovereign nation; they have
bravely fought for about two
years to maintain their iudopend

lost their deareft relatives and

"In the mean time the hatred
of the Cubans, which the Spanish
officers and the Spanish govern-
' meat have entertained as evinced
by the Bhootfhg in cold blood of
prisoners of war, in defiance to the
laws of civilization and humanity,
by the massacres of defenseless
people, including women and
children, by the overcrowding
with suspects of the jails and duiii
gcons, and the deportation of
thousands of them to the murder
ous penal colonies of Africa;.!'
this, a policy of terror, approved

dead. II:i physician now con
firms the report of his death and
says he was killed while attempt

Maceo's death is sad blow to

last if fix brothers, all of whom
died fighting for Cuba's iudcjnd

tho Spaniards as their most for

While it is a sad blow to the
patriot who are seeking to free

i Ireland CeaainK to be Irish?
It is said that in the leading
papers of Dublin there are more
mures that are not Irish than
UiObetliBt are; that Dubliu has
become a cosmopolitan city like
mnny of those in the United
Staws; that Welsh, Scotch, ,iau
ish, French, German, and Italiaus
jostle each other in the streets and
shops. In the professions there
are as many whose names suggest
foreign parentage as those of Celtic
origin, and in the manufacturing
districts the Irish poeple are be
ing crowded out by laborers frora
other countries. The Irish ton-
guo is spoken in only a few places
in Ireland, ajid the children are
being taught Euglith to the ex
clusion of the mother tonptia.
O
This condition of affairs is sure to
bring about great changes in the
natuio of the Irish question. If
Ireland is not to for the Irish
there will be no continuation of
the demand for the separation of
Ireland from Greai Britain.

From reports tho company is

"Gross Neglect ot Manifest Duty."
Whatever the present con-
gress may do, it cannot evade
responsibility or shirk its duty
on the assurance that an extra
session of the next congress will
be called to its work. That
duty is plainly to provide reve
nues to meet all expenses au
thorized by it, and to take steps
toward the permanent settle
ment of the revenue and tariff
questions upon lines clearly in
dicated bo the people in their

would be for Britain to blockade

need be, repeat the. lesson Gen.
Ross gave Madison, in 1812 by

the insolent heads of the con
gress that dared send the Vene

that we have not, diplomatically

A COLLEGE FOR WOMEN.
The magnificent gift of one
hundred thousand dollars to
Trinity College by ilt W. Duke
has placed that institution on a
better financial basis than ever
heretofore.
But the Methodists of North
Carolina should not let the mat
ter stop here" but should only
use this gift as a "nest egg"
and many thousand dollars more
should be added inside the next
year, it has already Deen sug
gested that another one hundred
thousand dollars be raised at
once and added to the endow,
ment fund.
The terms of the gift are 6uch
that women will be allowed in
the college in the future and
placed on the same footing with
the men.
As a matter of especial inter
est tc our Methodist subscribers
and of general interest to every
Durhamite we publish below the
letter of Mr. Duke to Dr. J. C.
Kilgo, president of Trinity Col
lege, setting forth the terms of
the gift, etc. The letter is as
follows.
"Mt-Djjar Sir: I am much
disappointed tha the Metho
dist and friends of Trinity Col
lege in North Cardina have
failed to respond to my condi
tional offer of a year ago to a Id
$50,000 to the e. lowment of
that institution, provided $7V-
000 were raised from other
sources for a like purpose.
"Realizing the need of the
college in this respect, I hereby
agree to place at the disposakof
the proper authorities of the
college, at such time or times
during the year 1897 as will be
convenient to me, the sum of
$100,000, either in cash or such
stocks or other securities as I
may choose to turn over; said
amount to be added to the per
manent endowment of the in
stitution, and to be used for no
other purpose; provided, how
ever, that such changes in the
laws, rules and regulations gov
erning the college shall be made
by those having authority to do
so, before tne close 01 is'.it, as
will open its doorr to women,
placing them in the future on
an equal footing with men, en
abling them to enjoy all of the
rights, privileges aud advant
ages ef the college now enjoyed
or to be hereafter enjoyed by
men; otherwise this offer shall
be null and void.
"I am very much pleased with
the wis and progressive man
acr In which the college is now
conducted. You have a most
excellent faculty, composed of
strong, well eq iipped trm cf
the highest moral and religious
character, and too, the student!
bod, is dJvseringof the highest
commendation for Ih,ir extra-
ordinary good behavior and the
part the? are taking to brio the
college up the very highest
standard.
''And 1 feel quite sure, If the
present policy is continued, ho
institution will succeed in a
much larger meas tre in the fur
ture than it has In the past.
"I say 10 you fraukly the con-
fidence 1 have in tho present ad
ministration of the affairs of the
college, and the hope that it will
be continued along the same
lines, has been the main infiu
ence in encouraging mo to make
this offer.
"Congratulating you on the
work you are doing, and the
success with which your un
selfish efforts in behalf of the
college has been crowned. etc.'
THE TURKS PROTEST.
It is now stated that tho Tur
kish government is on their
"head" about what President
Cleveland had to say in regard
to the Armenian massacres, and
that there is trouble ahead.
A telegram sent out from
Washington says; "President
Cleveland has been called to ac
count by the Sultan of Turkey.
An emphatic protest was made
yesterday by the Turkish gov-
ernment against the language
used in the president's message
to congress respecting the mas
sacre of the Armenians, and the
general conduct of the govern
ment toward the Christians in
the empire."
"The situation is said to threat
en the rupture of diplomatic rela
tions between the Uuited States
and Turkey.
"Mustapha Bey, the Turkish
Minister, it is rumored at the State
Department, has intimated that
if some amends is not made by
the president, he will be obliged
to ask for his pajters, und will re
turn to Constantinople.
"The deep displeasure of the
Sultan was made known to Secre
tary Oiuey on Thursday by Mus
tapha Bey in accordance with a
cablegram received by him on
Wednesday from his home gov
ernment.
THEY TAKE THE PREMIUM.
The Salisbury World ia speak
ing of the performance of the May
Davenport Company in that city
says: "For brazen effrontery,
cheeky assumption -nu bold pre
sumption May Davenport takes
the premium. For utter worth
lessness and pure rottenness May
Davenport's company takes anothr
er premium."
This is the same company the
Herald alluded to yesterday and
from reports is of the lowest order
of common, vulgar variety shows.
