CAMBRIDGE , Mass. , June 29. The cro.vn-
Ing event of Harvard's commencement was
the nlumnl dinner , which took place in
Memorial hall after the graduation er.tr-
clsea yesterday. The guests Included Presi
dent Eliot , Ambassador Jules Cambon , Alex
ander AgHsslz , General Leonard Wood ,
Governor Roger Wolcott and Admiral Samp
son. President Eliot opened the speechmaking -
making by reporting gifts of $ l,2r > 0,000 to
the college during the year. Governor
Wolcott followed In u brief nddrcsn and
Ambassador Cambon was Introduced.
The French ambassador , M. Cambon , spoke
In French and took occasion to refet to the
part he had taken In restoring peace be
tween the United States nnd Spain nnd to
thank llnrvnrd for conferring on him the
degree of LL. D. Ho said :
I feel unable to express to you how deeply
I appreciate the honor Harvard university
1ms done mo by conferring upon me the
dignity of doctor of laws. 1 am proud to
belong hereafter to your university , the old
est In America , and I nm touched when I
realize thnt the thought which prompted
the bestowal of this honor upon me possibly
Iiad In view it higher aim than nny personal
to me. I cannot forget that a very long
tlmo ngo one of my predecessors , the Mar
quis do la Ltizcrno who In 1781 roprescnUMl
In this country King Louis XVI. , WBH also
made by Harvard an honorary doctor of laws.
At that time the United Slides had hardly
emerged from the heroic struggle which in-
Mired her Independence. Kr.inco had then
lent you her nssUtnucp , and your university
Inscribed the name of her reprobcntatlvo
among those of your honored OIH-B , That
wnn over a century ngo.
Last year Providence designated Franco
to take the hand of your adversary of yes
terday , to place It Into yourx and to clnnp
both In her onn. I was the chosen Instru
ment of the humanitarian Iden which In-
nplred thlH net. Hy these fccllngx ulono
was I guided. Allow mo to thank you
for the personal honor you have shown me ,
aa you did in rarly < lay to the Marquis do
la LiiziTiiibecaiiho you thereby testify once
more , to the trudltlonnl friendship of our two
nations ,
As for myself , whose profession brings me
In ilnlly contnct with the rcnlltlcb of public
life , It IK u rare goqd forlunn to Hud myself
In this atmosphere of learning nnd culture.
I am n Bon of the University of Purls , n
eon of that glorious cent of learning , the
Snrbonne. There It wak that Dante. In the
mlddlo ngcs , leaving Florence , camp to pur-
DUO his studies. In those days no frontlera

And may wo not hope thnt my presence nt

thcru cpntlnurs to cxUt the t\ino : untrammeled -

WASHINGTON , June 20. The report of
Major General Thomas M. Anderson , com
manding the First division of the Klghth
army corps during the first battles with the
Insurgents In the Philippines , HAS made
public , at the War department today. It Is
dated February 10 and roliiles mainly to
the operations of February f > . The report
In part Is as follows :
A line of delimitation had been agreed
upon between the department commander
and the Insurgent Filipino authotltles. FindIng -
Ing that we did not hold our line of de
limitation , the Filipino military forces ad
vanced beyond thU line and began to throw
up ( i formidable line of entrenchments. The/
also constructed other fortifications.
As the Insurgents saw their formidable
works approaching completion they became
more Insolent day by day and dually did
everything they could In Insolence- and In
sults to provoke us to begin the conflict.
As they were permitted to go nnd come
through our lines at will , they knew Just
what troops wo had , where they were lo
cated nnd that we were making no visible
preparations for defense , It seems proper to
make these statements In order to justify
the assertion that no troops ever behaved
better umlirr Intense provocation , showing
excellent discipline and self-control. The
First brigade of this division was under
Brigadier General Charles King. The Second
end brlgado was under Brigadier General
Gamucl Ovcnshtne.
The only preparations which could be
made for battle , In view of orders to stand
on the defensive , was the assignment of. the
different organizations on the fighting line ,
and in securing positions for artillery. Noth
ing more apparently could be dene , as our
government had to preserve n waiting policy
until the treaty of peace with Spain WHS
signed. Nevertheless , ns an attack from the
front might be followed by an uprising In
the city , this procrastination placed the
army under a great disadvantage.
IltHUfKCMtN IlPKllI IIOHtllltlrH.
At 3:40 o'clock on the morning of Febru
ary 5 the Insurgents opened fire on Block
house No , 11 with Mauser rlllcs. I had just
ridden up to my headquarters In the city ,
from which I had telegraphic communica
tions with every part of my command. I
first telegraphed corps hcadnuavtors for per
mission to take the offensive when It be
came light enough to do so.
At 7 o'clock I directed General Ovcnshlnp
to open artillery fire on Blockhouse No. II
and the wood nearby and to b'e prepared to
drive the oncmy from the Malate front , and
If he yielded easily to turn to the left with
part of his command and sweep the enemy
from his entire front. If successful , to be
ready to reinforce King's right and turn the
left of the Insurgent force operating from
Santa Ana. This project was not carried out
until later In the day , as permission was not
given to assume the offensive until 8 o'clock.
In the meantime , the fighting on King's
line became heavier as the day advanced.
At last , at S o'clock , a telegram came
from Major Gftieral Otis , authorizing an advance -
vance If not made too far. I went at once
to Battery knoll , taking with mo the Wyo
ming battalion. Flndjng thcro three co.m-
panlcs of Callfornlans I placed thcso seven
companies under the command of Colonel
Smith of the FirstCaVlfonta7R ! < nd directed
him' to deploy and advance In line with the
rest of King's brigade , substituting this for
the Intondcd co-operation of Ovenshine.
General King was present and was ordered
to advance HS soon as Smith deployed.
Those officers received this order with de
light and their troops with enthusiasm. The
movement began at 8:20 : a. m. , with a rush
over the creek In our front : a cheer and
rattling volleys as the whole line advanced ,
not by rushes , but with a rush. The Insur
gent line fill back 'before ' our advance ,
fighting , however , with spirit.
CuliroriiluiiN' ( iiillniit .iMNiiiilt.
At the same time the California battalion
charged and drove the enemy out of Santa
Ana , driving them from stone walls and con
vents , churches nnd houses and fighting
their way through blazing bamboo huts from
which the natives were firing.
Brigadier General Ovcnshlne , commanding
the Seccrad brigade , had the North Dakota
regiment under Lieutenant Colonet Trueman ,
-cupylng the other Spanish trenches from
Fort Mulato on the bay to an almost Im
passable swamp which divided his line Into
two sections. At about 10 o'clock Ovenshine
ordered an advance. The North Dakotas
drove the enemy from their frctit back to the
Curmcllto convent. Major Potter , with
Matllo's battalion , Fourteenth Infantry , ad
vanced through the woods. After a desperate
fight the enemy was driven out , but not with
out inflicting serious loss upon us.
Hearing of the successful advance of the
North Dakotas I telegraphed General Oven-
shlno to carry out the project I had arranged
with him and attempt to roll up the enemy
by n movement from right to left.s the
was a long delay In carrying out this order
I repeated severar It limes by telegraph and
aides were pent with oral orders. It was at
last found that ho was under n false Im
pression that ho had received other orders
from the corps commander. When this mis
apprehension was removed ho made the
movomnnt with complete success.
The coolness , energy and bravery of the
officers and men of this division are worthy
of highest consideration. Beginning on the.
left the Idaho regiment , under Major Fig-
gins , did splendid service. Major MaeCon-
vllle , who eprved under my command In the
war of the rebellion , was killed leading his
battalion , like the bravo and faithful officer
that ho was. Captain Whlttlngton Is ospe-
daily commended by his brlgado commander.
IlrcrultH FlKlit UKn VOUTIIIIH.
The Washington regiment , under Colonel"
Wholley. received its baptism of fire , its
men fought llko veterans. From the Cali
fornia regiment I expected excellent serv
ice. Colonel James F , Smith showed the
very best quality of a volunteer olllcer
His services In every position In which ho
has been placed have been most valuable
and efficient. I cordially recommend him
ns a brigadier general of volunteers. Major
Slmo of the same regiment proved ho Is n
natural born soldier. Ho Is not only brave ,
but root and discreet.
. Captain Haan , lieutenant third artillery ,
In command of the engineer company ,
showed special efficiency The Wyoming
battalion , although not well handled at first ,
when It got Into action showed the bravery
I have socn before In Wyoming men.
In the Secopd brigade , the North Dakotas
made a dashing charge. The part of the
Fourth cavalry under "fire fought as well
as they always have In their many battles.
The fighting of the Fourteenth Infantry
under trying surroundings , In which they
were placed , was little less than heroic ;
certainly It was most effective. .They were
well led ty Major Potter. Captain. John
Murphy , a well tried veteran , and other
efficient company officers , Hasbrouck , Las-
slgnc , Blddlc , and , In fact , all present. In
cluding Captains Martin and fCrauthofL
who , although on staff duty , went to tins
front with their own regiment , performing
excellent service. Captain Dyer. S'lxth ar
tillery , directed the artillery operations for
me with rnrn sllll ; and Judgment. Lieu
tenant Scott managed the platoon under his
command In n moH satisfactory manner.
Lieutenant Hawthorne , In command of the
battery of mountain guns ( Astor battery )
save proof of rare ability.
To the skill , energy nnd bravery of our
two brigade commander. , Brigadier General
Charles King nnd Brigadier General Snmu l
Ovenshine , the credit of succeps Is largely
due. I am grateful to thctn for their ener
getic viml loyal support.
The medical department of the division ,
In Its chief surgeon--Major II. W. Canlwcll.
did everything that skill and energy could
do , In the care of the wounded , extending
aid also to the wounded Filipinos.
The division staff was with me at the
front and I nm Indebted ( o Its members
for patient , energetic and most efficient
service.

CHICAGO , .Juno , 20. Dean Worcester ,
member of the Philippine commission , today
cabled the Tlmce-HernUl denying the reports
that Philippine prisoners were shot by Amer
ican ofllccH. This was In response to In
quiries sent by II. H. Kohlsaat as follows :
WORCESTER , Manila. Charles Brenner ,
'Minneapolis ' , Kan. , writes homo : "Company
1 had four prisoners nnd did not know what
to do with thqm. They asked Captain
Bishop what to do. Ho said : 'You know
orders , ' and four natives fell dead. " Cable
the truth. KOHLSAAT.
Commissioner Worcester's answer follows :
MANILA , Juno 29. Kohlsaat , Editor
Tlmes-Hernld , Chicago : The original state
ment of Brenner Is untrue. Brenner's
charge was promptly Investigated by the
military authorities here. No racts were as-
certnlncd to support the charge nt the time
of first Inquiry , but tun Investigation has
been renewed .and Is being prosecuted vig
orously and extensively. This Investigation
has not yet boeii completed. Brenner's
charge has some semblance of truth , for
the reason thaf'It Is no'w believed that two
prisoners were shot In the heat of battle for
refusing to pass to the rear when ordered
to do so.
This matter Is being probed to the hot-
torn. It Is an Isolated ease. The Inhabitants
of the towns recently captured had been
maltreated , robbednnd left destitute by the
Insurgents ,
The natives rejoice nt the arrival of the
Ainerlcah troops , 'whb neither burn their
homes nor loot- their property and who
feed the hungry. The Inhabitants arc re
suming their ordinary occupations nnd ready
to co-operate with us.
The wounded Insurgents arc brought to
Manila , where they receive the same care
nnd attention as' out1 own wounded.

CHICAGO. Juno 20. The trial of August
Becker , the South Side butcher , charged
with having murdered ftnd then dismem
bered nnd boiled the remains of his wife , In
order to leave him free to marry Ma Sui-
terlln , a 17-year-old filrl with whom ho
had become Infatuated , came to a sudden
end today , when It was found that the In
dictment named Mrs. Decker ns Kllisabcth ,
when It should have been ThorcFe. The
court at once nolle pi-ossed the Indictment ,
The Jury had been > \vorn \ In and the defense
asked for a discharge of the prisoner on the
ground that Becker had been placed In
Jeopardy nnd therefore could not be tried
again. The court denied the request , how
ever , and a bench warrant wan Issued and
Becker rearrCBted. A new Indictment will
be drawn up. The discovery that the In
dictment was faulty created somewhat of
a sensation In the court room.
The result may be , however , that Becker
will escape punishment , nn the case Is now
In such shape that the prisoner's counsel
are confident of a reversal by the supreme
court of a verdict of guilty If returned. The
Jury had been sworn In and part of the evi
dence of the first witness heard when the
attorneys for the defense moved that the
defendant be discharged and the Jury In
structed to return a verdict of not guilty ,
ns the evidence produced related to the kill
ing of one Thereso Becker , while the In
dictment alleged that U > o defendant had
murdered Elizabeth Becker.
After a moment's excited conference be
tween the prosecuting attorneys the ( state
moved that a nolle prosetjul be entered and
the defendant bo held on a bench warrant.
The defense made the point that If the state
entered a nolle prosscqul the court must
enter a verdict of not guilty. The state
maintained that Becker had not been In
Jeopardy for the murder of Thercsc Decker.
Judge Stein then entered a nolle prosscqul
and a bench warrant wan Issued for Becker ,
Judge Stcln sitting as a committing mag
istrate and hearing evidence relating to the
case. In this- proceeding the defense claims
another error was committed. The wit
nesses were sworn by the clerk of the crim
inal court. It was held by the defense that
Judge Stcln. sitting as n magistrate , should
have aworn the witnesses himself.
The grand Jury this afternoon voted an
other Indictment against Becker. The Jurors
chosen to try Becker were kept together and
when the case Is again called for trial to
morrow nearly all of them will be retained.

disappointment , but It has not detracted

twenty-four hour's "later Ih'an originally an-
nouncfcd , will caus'e the great Volksfest at
the Zoological Gardens to be held en Sun

The local committee did not begin to con
struct the big hall tl/'l / all the money was
secured , nnd afterward it 'as compelled to
make such changes ns to have It cost over
? 70,000 Instead of $40,000 , ns estimated.
There was also a strike of the nrpcntcrs.
Dut the Focal committee depended on
the architect and contractor keeping their
promises. The supervising architect was
prostrated In his efforts and the contractor
has had his troubles , but ( lip chorus of ham
mers will now give way to that of an orchestra
'
chestra of 130 pieces , with a mass chorus of
1,000 , and the noted soloists. There were
additional arrivals this morning , with usual
ceremonies , the snmc ns yesterday. The
usual rehearsals continue through the re
maining days so that the singers are kept
qulto busy from morning till night nnd
there Is very much In the line of jublfee
while the crowds are waiting on 'the car
penters .
While the visitors did the marching yes
terday they were the spectators today for
a novel street parade gotten up by the press
committee , assisted by citizens. This pa
rade was a biirlfeque on street pageants nnd

nnd chairman of the press committee on en
tertainment , was grand marshal , with a
largo staff In caricature , representing leadIng -
Ing citizens , Including the governor , mayor ,
senators , presidents of railroads. hnnk nmi
others. Following the burlesque parade
there were variour Joint meetings of musical
societies.
Much interest centers In the erection of
officers tomorrow. There Is a very lively
contest between Buffalo , Chicago. St. Louis ,
Milwaukee and other cities for the meeting
of the North American Snengerbund three

One of the lending features today was the
"Fruhs Chonpcn , " given by Hie Deutschrn
club and Mitslkvercln of Indianapolis nt the
Zoological carrions , laatlnc from 10 o'clock
until late In the afternoon , with an elab

societies of North America a true place cf
culture , for the renown of the old , and for
the best Interest of the new country.
