No. 14CHICAGO, ILL., JANUARY 19, 1899.LETTER FROM SANTIAGO."The Lieutenant says the Southern Cross "isup, and can be seen for about fifteen minutes.""All right, quartermaster," I called, "tell thelieutenant I will be right up." "Fifteen minutes to dress is ample time onland, but on a revenue cutter, particularly therevenue cutter Gresham, it takes about fourhours. The revenue cutter Gresham rocks.She also rolls, and when the conditions areright she pitches. The reasons assigned forher peculiar gait is that, having been built forthe lakes, she has a round bottom and no keel,but this explanation does not sound adequateto the facts in the case. We say ships rocklike a cradle, but the Gresham rocks like acradle with an angry and unwilling small boyleft to operate it. Soon there comes anotherknock at my door. "The lieutenant says theSouthern Cross will soon be fading, and youwill have to hurry." I made a few desperategrabs and pushes, and rushed on deck. Thedeep looked strange, for the large electriclights were out, and only the stars and awaning moon lighted it. The lieutenant wason duty for the morning watch, pacing thebridge and giving orders to the man at thewheel. He afforded me the great privilege ofstanding watch also, and from this point ofvantage I first saw the Southern Cross. Onegood long look was all we had before it com­menced to fade, and then we watched itthrough the glasses after it could not be seenwith the unaided eye. It is not a cross at all,rather a sort of kite with one star slightly mis­placed. But it is big and brilliant and beautiful.The stars composing it all seemed brighterthan we are accustomed to see them in our lat­itude, and their relative brilliancy was different.Orion dims everything else in the sky, while theNorth star is sunk low down on the horizonalmost out of sight. Many of the stars cast agleam of light across the sea just as the moon does, while the moon, instead of being contentto wane as our moons do, shows the entire discplainly as a background for the illuminatedportion.vVe stood on the bridge and watched thesethings, and watched the coming of dawn. Itcame like a flash, not slowly and stealthily as aNorthern dawn comes; and with its first brightrays we saw the coast, a long low line ofmountains that looked like a bank of clouds.We were steering directly for a little break inthese mountains. The captain and the navi­gator were then called, and coffee was servedon the bridge. As soon as the sun was highenough they took the bearings, and found thatwe were headed straight for the harbor of-Santiago. We each had powerful glasses, andeveryone was striving to be the first to sightMorro Castle. The captain saw it first, andannounced it in a most oracular tone, which hewas accustomed to employ even in the mostcommonplace statements. He had a way ofsaying that to-morrow would be Monday in amanner which would have befitted the an­nouncement of some great scientific discovery.Morro first appeared to us as a white speck inthe mountains, but it grew as we approacheduntil we were duly impressed with it as a"formidable fortification. Next we sighted thewreck of the Almirante Oquendo lying a longway down the coast, red with rust and halfsunk. It looked like a long way to us, but itcould not have seemed long to her when shewas trying to escape.The entrance to the harbor is extremely nar­row, and is perfectly protected by MorroCastle. About one good disappearing gunmounted on it ought to keep away all the warships that ever were built. There could be nomore truly picturesque sight than this fort. Itis largely a natural stronghold, the natural rockhaving been added to and strengthened byclub, faces this plaza. It is now used as anAmerican restaurant. In another part of thetown is a smaller plaza, in which stands a littlered white and blue statue, erected in Novem­ber, 1898 the Cubans' first statue of Liberty.The old Spanish prison is now used as bar­racks. In it the cells of Hobson and his com­panions are shown. The shops are muchpoorer than those of the Porto Rican towns,and there seems to be less business activity.Just so are the Cubans, utterly unlike the PortoRican people. They are grave and surly andtreacherous, while the Porto Ricans are happy,and inspire one with confidence and trust anda genuine liking.If Santiago by its filth is offensive to us now,we have only to hear the tales that General\Vood can tell to make us realize that it hasbeen infinitely worse. General Wood is aquiet man with an unassuming manner, un­usual in the army, who has shown absoluteself-sacrifice in the serving of his country. Hehas undertaken to better the sanitary conditionof Santiago, and he has encountered a task towhich the terrors of the charge of San Juan hillwere nothing. He told of entering the housesafflicted with yellow fever where the dead anddying lay side by side upon the floors; ofburning the dead bodies in piles of seventy,having first poured oil over them. Four'hundred gallons of crude petroleum were useddaily in this work. Horses and mules wereburned in the same manner and in the sameplace. The piles of refuse still smoulder, andthe cremation still goes on. The condition ofthe civil hospital when General Wood arrivedwas one of the worst horrors of the city. Thepatients were receiving no care, but lay uponthe bare floors wrapped in blankets, and amidstthe most revolting squalor. Nine dead bodieswere found thrown out into the hospital yardwrapped in blan kets, and thev had been ther�for days. By telling us o( these thine s he:vor.ked upon our imaginations until the placeJl1 Its present condition seemed like a NewEngland kitchen by comparison.With this condition of horrible filth and un­healthfulness, and with the deadly enervatingclimate, we must not look for good results toc.ome out of Cuba a� once. It will take a longtime and much patience to clean the city andto clean the people, and to then persuade themthat they are better off clean than dirty. Wemay, however, with a few such men as GeneralLeonard \Vood, look for the best.RUTH I. VAXDERLl P140 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.masonry. An arched cave at the water's edgebacks into the cliff, and huge rocks form itsjagged base.The harbor is long and winding, and from itsentrance no trace of the city can be seen. Justinside the harbor lies the Reina Mercedes,sunk so that half her deck is under water, andlooking huge because she is so near the shore.Nicely tucked away at one side, where it doesnot in any sense interfere with the channel, liesthe Merrimac, just where Hobson sank her,with a large white buoy number painted on hersmoke-stack. After leaving these landmarksnothing more exciting than an occasional blockhouse is seen until the city comes in view. Thefilth of four hundred years lies conspicuouslyin the harbor, conspicuous by its odor as wellas its appearance. Indeed, this water isactually so dirty that ships lying out in theharbor go out to sea to wash down their decks.Looking over the end of the bridge down intothe water. I saw the body of a man floatingface up alongside the ship, which seemed tohave been in the water a long time. Suchsights appear to be so common that they causeno comment.We anchored out in the harbor very nearthe city, and went ashore in a steam launch.The heat was unendurable, the thermometerregistering 100 degrees, and all our ideas ofthe town are distorted by the discomforts wesuffered on account of it. The little landing isjust a long sidewalk with long low woodensteps, hot, sunny and dirty. A small freightboat was taking up all of the landing space,and we were obliged to climb over it. Heatand dirt were the principal things that we sawand experienced throughout the city. Thestreets are narrow, with worn-out cobble-stonepavements, and one and all smell abominably.Each street and each house has a separate anddifferent odor, and each one worse than thelast. The windows on all the houses have ironbars, which make them look like a convict'sdream. The Calle Marina, running up a steephill from the wharf to the plaza, is the principalstreet of the town. I ts sidewalks are so nar­row and so badly worn that most Of the peoplewalk in the middle of the street. The publicsquare, where most of the former populationhas been shot for its supposed crimes, wasfilled with soldiers off duty and native loungers.The Don Carlos club, a famous old SpanishMINNESOTA CHICAGO DEBATE.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. 141The semi-final contest in the \Vestern CentralDebating League was held .last Friday night atKent. Every feature in connection with thedebate may be considered a marked success.Both sides of the question were most ably up_held, and it deserves to rank as ProfessorJames, the presiding officer said, as one of thegreat college debates. Throughout the wholediscussion there were none of those per­sonalities which often mar debates in general.From Chicago's standpoint everythingcertainly was most encouraging. The threeChicago men, in the first place, were all under­graduates, which hitherto has seldom been trueof our debaters. There was a large andenthusiastic audience present. and perhaps thismay be attributed to the fact that the debaterswere undergraduates. This is the seconddebate Chicago has ever won, having won onepreviously in a contest with Michigan.The three Chicago men in this debate reliedsolely on clear statement of facts. The strongpoint of our team lay in its organization and onthe fact that they anticipated the moves of Min,nesota and were ready to meet them on anypoint. They relied almost entirely on therefutation of the arguments of the affirmativeas they appeared, although each speaker closedwith a constructive, positive argument. Mr.Finch opened the debate for Minnesota anddwelt at length on the convention of 1787 and.the constitutional side of the question. l\Ir.Clendenning opened the case for Chicago andoutlined the arguments for the negative.Going back to the same convention of 1787 heupheld its preceedings, and considered it froma different point of view than that of Mr.Finch. Mr. M. Waldron Jerome, of course,continued the are-ument for the affirmative, andpresented several very strong reasons formaking a change. Mr. Jacobs, for Chicago, toa great extent successfully refuted this line ofargument.Mr. McGinnis closed for the visitors, and hewas logically and well answered by l\IauriceMandeville of Chicago. Chicago will nosvmeet l\lichigan in the final contest, which willbe held down town some time in April.The U. and M. daily, iI'1 an article entitled" Michigan Best," told of Michigan's victoryover Northwesten and prophesied Michigan's victory over Chicago. It was an enthusiasticarticle and made up in enthusiasm what itlacked in grammatical correctness of its title.FROM THE SETTLEMENT.Mr. Hamaker, a recent graduate of the U. ofc., has charge of the boys in the Gymnasiumon Tuesday evenings.Mrs. Chas. Zeublin read a most excellentpaper on "1\ visit to William Morris' Factory"at the Settlement \\'oman's Club, Thursday,January r zth.l\lisses Perrine and Linn from Kelly Hallassisted in entertaining the women 'it the"bracing-up" tea party last Friday afternoon.Miss Perrine gave much pleasure with her in­strumental and vocal music.The first week in January was a vacationweek at the Settlement and the residents tookmuch-needed rest after the Christmas festiv­itres. But the boys and girls did not care tohave a vacation from the clubs and classes.Although they had been duly notified that noclubs would meet for a week they persisted incoming to the settlement to see if perchancethere might still be a club their club, ofcourse-or a good time, in some way, forthem. They accommodated th eruse lves veryslowly to the fact that there was nothing goingon. A group of boys met one of the residentsas she was going out of the Settlement doorone of these vacation days, and said: "Miss,--, any parties to-day?" "No," was theresponse. "Any clubs?" "No," again was theanswer. Then a small boy said, "Oh, Miss--, can't we go to the country next sum­mer?" The boys in the neighborhood thatdid not belong to any club or class felt quite"left out in the cold" during the Christmasparties, and now that the work is all going onagain, many and most urgent are the applica­tions for membership in the clubs. l\lanualtraining and the gymnasium classes are themost eagerly sought after. On Tuesday even­ing there were fifty boys in the gymnasiumhall-all orderly and happy.Teddy: "The members of the universityband are to get a major for their work."Chuck: "Is that so -: What kind ?"Teddy: "A drum-major.'livery and oratorical prowess in general wasmuch superior to Chicago's. Indeed it wouldseem to the uniniated that they had carried allbefore them; a confidence shared, no doubt, bythe gentlemen themselves,Much praise is due Messrs. Clendenning, Jacobsand Mandeville, both for their careful can­vass of the subject and the manner of con­ducting the discussion. Their work on the floorwas largely extemporary, a fact which enabledthem to meet and refute the arguments of theaffirmative. It was the plain, unvarnished talethat won--a logical presentation of facts with­out frill or furbelow.The victory puts us in the finals with Michi­gan-once more do the old rivals meet to de­cide a championship-and on April 7 let us allturn out and witness our debaters triumph onceagain.The attendance was most gratifying, andshows that the University is keenly alive towhat is going on, and ready to support allworthy efforts to magnify the name of AlmaMater.142 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.U:be 'Ulni"ersit� of <tbicago 'WleeJtl�.EDITOR.IAL BOAR.D.WILLIAM BURGgSS CORNELL, '99, - - :\Ianal!,ng EditorWALTER JOSEPH SCHMAHL, '00, - - - Associate EditorASSISTA:ST EDITORS.VAN SUMNER PEARCE, '99.JOSEPHINE ALLEN, '99.THOMAS C.

We havewon another victory at debating. After losing,time out of count, at last it seems possible forChicago to win a debate. But success did notcome to us without effort; for right royally didthe Minnesotas defend their position, and notuntil the Judges' decision had been read wasall doubt removed as to the winner.Minnesota was well represented in Messrs.Finch, Jerome and McGinnis.

Begining withthis week divisions I-V of the Ju­nior College will meet together in Kent Thea­tre each Tuesday. While this move does notindicate much on the surface, still it presages,to some extent, how the current runs deeperdown. It shows that the division system is notthe final arrangement, but that it will be modi­fied to a large degree. It is not that the divid­.ing of three orfour hundred students into smalland arbitrary parts is coming into disfavor whenthe system is thoroughly and practicallyap­plied? This change seems to emphasize thefuture treatment of the colleges as wholes in­stead of isolated bits. Indeed, does not thisisolation militate against a close undergraduateacquaintanceship and, further, against thegrowth of college spirit? The division systemis admirable for some purposes, but carriedinto too many applications what are the re­suits? Does it not seem unnatural? a bit arti­ficial? Is it just the thing for the Junior Col­lege, in particular? This step seems in theright direction, and probably next year willwitness the abolition of the present system en­.tir ely, in the lower college at least. 143NOTE BOOK.H. R.

Mr. Stratton gave a shortaccount of his career as a naval officer. Afterbeing escorted to the train by the student body,the l\ aval Reserves went south to Tampa, fromthere to Key West, and three days after leavingTampa they were all on duty on their respec­tive ships. Mr. Stratton himself was assignedduty as senior watch officer on board theLancaster, the flag ship of the naval base atKey West. About August first he receivedhis final appointment on the battleship Texas.Mr. Stratton was unusually fortunatej in beingassigned to this vessel, as he came under thecommand of such men as Commodore Phillipand Captain Sigsbee. Under these men 1\1r.Stratton was able to learn every minute detailof naval service. He was, while on the Texas,senior officer of the court martial, an importantduty, and his assignment to this task shows inwhat respect our professor was held by hissuperiors. Mr. Stratton dwelt at length on thesplendor and excitement of the review in NewYork harbor. It was here that he again met hisboys and had a chance of learning what faith­ful, hard working seamen our Chicago Reserveshad been throughout the whole season. Mr.Stratton told some new stories, incident tonaval life, which were highly amusing.

To others, may we say that Mr.Sparks is the most brilliant and witty memberof the University Extension, and that his charmas a speaker is measured by a very widepopularity and by crowded engagements.The University Club, largely composed ofcollege men, will devote Saturday evening,January 21, to the University of Chicago. Abanquet will be given in honor of PresidentHarper. Other guests from the Universitywill be Professors W. G. Hale, J. L. Laughlin,Albion W. Small, H. P. Judson, T. C. Chamber­lain, and W. D.

From editorial in the lastissue of the Weekly.This latest arraignment of the newspapermen who have been connected with the Uni­versity of Chicago is so uncalled for and unjustthat I feel impelled to reply. "Alumni andnewspaper men," according to your columns,have harmed their alma mater. Their loyaltyis more than called into question. They arefinally condemned, and the students are askedto look upon the newspaper man as a persondevoid of the principles of honor and unde­serving of respect.It has been the custom of editors of theWeekly, when in lack of "copy" or whencastine about for some one to " roast" withoutbfear of having subscriptions stopped, to hurltheir puny thunder at the newspaper man.The writer of this communication was himselfonce the managing editor of your esteemedpaper, and I imagine that more than once heblunted his pen telling the great Chicagodailies how they ought to be run. \Vhen hegot through with college he found that he hadnot known quite all he though the knew, and tohis surprise he discovered that the collegepaper he hac! edited did not sum up alljournalism.The charge of disloyalty is a serious one,however, and it is to this charge I wish partie-.ularly to reply. It is true that your editorialwas directed at one person in particular--theuniversity correspondent for the Evening Post-but as you went out of your way to includeapparently all alumni who are newspaper men,I feel that in self respect and in defense of myprofession, I ought to ask you either to proveyour charges or apologize for them..The newspaper man is not as a rule disloyalto his university, although there are manycauses that would tend to bring him to such acondition of feeling. In some cases what hethinks to be for the best interests of his almamater is not what the editor of the \Veeklythinks is for the best, but that is not disloyalty.The newspaper man has passed the days .wl:cnhe feels it his duty to truckle to the existrngsimply not tQ be analyzed: If the Weeklyreally wants to perform a mission in the uni­versity, when they can take a little time offfrom telling the Chicago dailies how theyought to be run, the editors could turn withadvantage to their own columns and spendsome time in accurate copy and proof reading.I have known reporters on Chicago papers tolose their positions for misspelling only oneproper name and a copy reader would Ledropped down the office elevator shaft if hepermitted such atrocities to get by him as al'-pear in the Weekly. H. L. ICKES, '97·146 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHI<;AGO WEEKLY.order of things merely because it is the orderof things. He used soft soap-plenty of itwhen he was on his college paper. As analumnus he may love his college too well towink at conditions that to the best of his beliefare working harm. He loves the college in theaggregate, not in the individual, necessarily.He is loyal, but not bigoted.But there is another side to the question.Does the average student have any idea of thenumber of " stories" that have been suppressedand are suppressed by the alumni newspapermen for the sake of their university? Then,too, the University of Chicago, of all institu­tions, ought not to berate the newspapers. Itis a newspaper made institution, and its officersdepend upon skillful advertising to keep it be­fore the public. It occurs to me that the uni­versity officials would be the last persons inthe world to wish to do away with the newspa­pers and the clipping bureaus.The students as a rule know practicallynothing about the inside workings of their ownuniversity. The Weekly assures us that Mr.Hoyt was not forced to resign, yet the 'Weeklygot a letter from President Harper and a resig­nation immediately followed. What was inthe letter? What more likely than that thetwo incidents shonld have been linked to-, gether? Did the correspondent for the Even­ing Post join the two events out of his ownmind, or did he reflect student opinion in thematter? It is hard to see, in the same connec­tion, how the Weekly has been injured by thepublication of the Post story. It called the at­tention of many to the fact that their collegepaper had published something worth reading.Since we newspaper men have been taken totask so roundly for our shortcomings, may oneof them make a suggestion or two in regard tothe policy of the Weekly? I will not attemptto suggest how it might be made a readableand attractive publication, but will merely callattention to the more mechanical shortcomingsof the sheet."The element of accuracy should enter intoevery consideration," says one of your edi­torials. I have sent a copy of the Weekly toits editor after going to the trouble of hurridlyreading copy on it. I found more than fortyglaring mistakes, most of them occurring in thespelling of proper names. Much of the punc­tuation is bad and many of the sentences are In the letter accompanying this communica­tion Mr. Ickes states that he is not the only onewho subscribes to the above sentiments. Inthat case we are Justified, since this is thereforeremoved from mere personality, in replying asfollows.The writer· of the above, intending the for­going communication for a roast on the 'Weeklyand doubting the probability of its appearingin our columns, appealed to our "sense of fair­ness" to publish it. We publish it withpleasure, and the followingCO�L\IENTS :I. The writer's phrase "Alumni and news­paper men" is misquoted and misleading,whether intentionally or not we have our sus­picions. \Ve will restate: "Alumni who arenewspaper men ;" but we may Justly enlargeour statement to some newspaper men who arenot yet Alumni of the University.2. Before we proceed farther let us statethat all those so denominated in (I) are notguilty of the offences implied or otherwise, butthe innocent need not suffer with the guilty UFl­less they so will.3. The writer of the above was once man­aging editor of this paper, and in light of thisfact his statement connecting Mr. Hoyt'sresignation with President Harper's letter isboth insinuating and audacious; further, thathe should profess not to know the editors resignat the end of each quarter is simply absurd.4, Mr. Ickes cannot shift our attack upon theChicago newspapers; it remains where we in­tended to place it-upon the jllt/hlit/ltal. Asstudent editor he told the "dailies how they·ought to be run," and now we are glad to hear heis in a position where he can run them in reality.Again, we do not "berate the newspapers",THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.but those university correspondents, who havedone harm to the University through their mis­statements of university affairs.5· The statement that this institution"depends on skillful advertising to keep itbefore the public" and the one following it, isa flat-footed controversion of the facts andthis is putting it mildly.6. Mr. Ickes takes us to task for implyingthat alumni newspaper men are disloyal. Thelaws of courtesy, of club standards, of familystandards, apply here. This is no case at com­mon law. The University in this instance maybe likened to a family. The members of thisfamily are intrusted with secrets, but would itbe honorable to sell these secrets? The lawwould permit him to barter these secrets, buthow about the ethical law? This family, orthe University, has first claim on those whogather at its hearthside. A member of thisUniversity owes his first allegiance here; thismoral fact is further strengthened by a Regula­tion of the University Council, which claims theactual 1'1;1[111 to supervise the student in allbranches, while legally a member of this Uni­versity. Of course, when a student has becomean alumnus he passes from under the actualauthority, but he is still bound by a moral al­legiance. Is it right that a profession shouldsidetrack one's duty t� his A/lila Malcrl No;a thousand noes; not even journalism. Voie doappreciate the peculiar difficulties under whichthe University correspondents are placed.Their salary is dependent on the amount ofcopy. But does this justify anyone for mis­stating the University at five dollars per col­umn? That they have done this is only toopatent to members and friends of the Universi­ty; that the University has been injured by suchmisstatements is a fact which will be subscribedto by ninety-nine per cent of those who are ac­quainted with the facts, from President Harperdown.Yes, sve regret that some correspondentsplace profession above loyalty, that they lackforesight, that they cannot see the results ofprinting a fake about the University, that in­stead of making the University famous theyhave on some occasions rendered it infamous.It is only a question of moral callousness;.sorne hid�s are as tough as rhinoceros skins.For stories that "have been suppressed for sakeof the University,"on behalf of the institution weI- 147beg leave to express our thanks and con­gratulations; but we are overcome withskepticism. Where is your evidence? Proveyour statement or apologize!7. It is Mr. Ickes' duty as an alumnus tocome to the aid of his college paper, and wethank him for all his suggestions, which are allcarefully heeded. 0 nly he takes a rude wayof showing the skeleton in the closet. Thefacts in the case we admit, of course, but it isthe implications that hurt.8. The copy of the foregoing communica­tion was so bad, and bore so many erasures andcorrections, that we challenge any copy readerto reproduce Mr. Ickes' phillipic in the correctblush of its conception, so we must discharge11r. Ickes for misspelling constitutions, whichhe maltreated as .. institutions "; and for im­proper use of capitals, for omISSIOns ofhyphens, for general illegibility, and for otheratrocities which he has allowed to get by himwe must perforce consider Mr. Ickes droppeddown the office elevator shaft.SOCIAL.Mr. Eugene Watson was initiated into themysteries of Beta Theta Pi last Mondayevenmg.The local chaptertendered a box party atlast week.The local chapter of Chi Psi tendered asmoker to its city Alumni last Monday eveningat the Chapter House. of Psi Upsilon was., The Fortune Teller"I nvitations are out for a dance to be given bythe Quadranglers, January the 28th, at the ho.neof Miss Kane in Evanston.The local chapter of Alpha Delta Phiinitiated Messrs.
