Pittsburg... Ww. Pat Tebeau’s band of Cleveland Spiders met the Senators on the local grounds yes- terday afternoon for the first time this sea- son, and, thanks to the errors of the home team and to Umpire Wood’s neglect to sroperly enforce the rules against inter- ference, the Washington aggregation lost heir fifth straight game of the week and nade it six successive defeats on the home srounds. Until the seventh inning not a un had been scored by the Cleveland men and they had made but three bits off Gus Weyhing up to that point in the game. But, with the score 4 to 0 against them, the visitors sent five men across the plate in that inning on four hits and three miser- able misplays of thelr opponents. The Senators’ downfall occurred in this manner: McKean sent a grounder to Wrigley, who threw wild to Anderson, Me- Kean reaching second before the ball was Tebeau was thrown out at first >y Wagner and McAleer popped up a little fly to Wrigley. With two men out, and one on second, Wallace shot the ball to left center. It got past Donovan, who was playing center, and rolled to the fence, Wallace making the circuit of the bases behind McKean. Blake then sent a pretty er and O'Connor followed crap right at Weyhing. The wounded from Gus’ hand and when he The ball went into right field and O'Connor was turning second when Anderson recov- ered the ball. The throw was a long one, and as Wagner stepped off the base to get it Childs rushed from the coacher’s box and blocked him so that he couldn't get back to third, or even get the ball. In the general mix-up Wrigley stopped to argue with Umpire Wood and O'Connor continued on home. Umpire Wood took no notice whatever of the interference, despite the protests of Captain McGuire and his men, and the band played on, Wilson sending a double to center and scoring on Burkett’s single to. left center. Wilson pitched for the Spiders, and yhile he was hit for eleven safeties, one of which was a homer by Anderson and one a double by Reitz, he was remarkably steady, giving but one pass. Weyhing was hardly less steady, giving but two passes and striking out two men, as did Wilson. Wrigley, who accepted twelve out of thirteen chances, Donovan and Weyhing were the only men on the home team who failed to get a hit off Wilson. McGuire got three and Selbach and Anderson two each. Burkett was the only man who se- cured more than one hit off Weyhing,he put- ting three singles to his credit. Anderson on first again demonstrated that that po- sition fs not a natural one to him, and more than ever did it seem to the small number of spectators present that a good first baseman is badiy needed by the home team, ths general wish being that old Tommy Tucker might again be seen there. The Senators started the game by scor- ing two runs in the first inning, after the visitors had been retired. Selbach singled to center, and after Wagner had gone out Anderson sent the ball to the fence in left center for a homer. In the third inning the Senators scored another run. Anderson singled to center, went to second on Mc- Guire's out at first, to third on Reltz’s out at the same point and home on Gettman’s single past first. Their fourth and last run was scored by the Senators in the fifth inning, when McGutre singled to left and scored on Reitz's double to right. The Senators led off in the seventh and ninth innings with a hit, but although they got men as far as third no runs resulted. The Spiders scored their last run in the ninth inning. O'Connor hit to left for a bass and on Wilson's sacrifice to Wagner he reached third, when Anderson returned the bali wildly. The Cleveland man went home on Burkett’s single to left.

He was pitching gilt-edged ball, and then {t all went for naught through incompetent work of Umpire Wood. Many of the “fans” had an idea that An- derson had lost his old-time batting eye and was done for the season, but the way that ball went out to the center field fence dispelled this illusion. Catcher Creiger has a great deal to say for a new man in the league. His com sation borders on impertinence. yelling from the bench continually yester- day, and Umpire Swartwood “let it go at that.” After Manager Tebeau had lost two grounders around first he came to the bench, and in a jollying sort of way said to Pitcher Wilson: “You're a nice pitcher. Why don't you send the balls over the plate so they will bat the bali towaré third, where there is a ball player.’’ Pat lost the first one in the sun, but he said the second was a rank error. When Jimmy McAleer pulled down Gett- man's fly in the eighth inning he doubtless stopped a rally and saved the game fe his club. McAleer’s great sprinting and judgment allowed him to make the play, and it Is just such plays like that of yes- terday that keeps Mac in the game, as his batting is weak. Umpire Swartwood’s work lowers the dignity of his position and does the game no good when he permits the players to talk to him so often and so famillarly.

It was all over a simple little error, and the result of the badinage as to whether Everett or McCormick was re- sponsible for it. Everett said McCormick made the error and “Mac” said Everett was the one resp ible. Hot words fol- lowed, and then they came together. In a clinch Everett landed an upper cut which made McCormick's teeth rattle, and the latter caved in ett's ribs with a rig hand roaster. erett came back with right and left, and was pummeling Mc- Cormick at will when a dozen men dropped from the grand stand to the ground and interfere@. - erett resumed his position, but McCori xi was so badly used up th he had to retire to the club house. Chicago p!'. ‘s enjoyed the fight, and did not seem inciined to stop it. It is reported that Manager Burns has fined each of the belligerents in the sum of $50.

Now that the Hawaiian Islands have been annexed, the question that Is being pro- pounded to the postal authorities is, “What is the rate of postage to the islands?” ‘This same question has agitated the off- cials of the Post Office Department, and formed the subject of a cabinet discussion last Tuesday. The result of the conference: was that nothing would be done at present, and that the same rate of postage for the islands would prevail as heretofore until the stars and stripes are floated over the fertile country, never to be hauled down. When this ceremony is performed, the Postmaster General will issue a order reducing the postage, and a two-cent stamp will carry a letter to Honolulu the same as any other city in the United States, if : ia INDIANA POLITICS Republicans Are Confident and the Democrats Hopeful. es ADVANTAGES 70 THE FORMER PARTY Ss A Good Chance to Carry the Leg- islative Ticket. SENATORIAL ASPIRANTS Correspondence of The Evening Star. INDIANAPOLIs, July 14, 1998. Indiana is the one state wherein politics is never given a rest. Here the politician never slumbers nor sleeps. Wars may come and fleets and armies may be de- stroyed. They cause a ripple on the sur- face for a little while, and then the weary plaint of the politician is heard, and the people turn from war to the discussion of political issues and to speculating on the outcome of the next election. In times past Indiana has filled a large space in the political eye of the nation, and the people still imagine the whole country looks with deep interest on the political movements here, This is the “off year’ and the cam- paign has not fully opened, but the move- ments on the chess board are being made. The democratic party is in the field with a full ticket. A full state ticket, with the exception of governor and Ifeutenant gov- ernor, is to be elected, together with three members of the supreme court. and a legislature that will be called upon to choose a successor to Senator Turpie. Both Parties Full of Hope. It would take a ‘¢ Man to guess, thus early, how the state will go. The confi- dence is with the republicans, but the democrats are full of hope. The repub- licans bank a great deal on the large plu- ralties they had at the two last elections, and the feeling that the war will make the people cautious of changing the adminis- tration at this time. ‘The first may prove to be a very broken re ‘The great plu- rality of 184 was occasioned by the de- ion in business, and the dissatisfac- Clevelan Hundreds of democrats voted with the republicans as a rebuke to Mr. Cleveland, while hundreds, of others remained away’ from the polls for the same purpose. None of these in- tended to repudiate their democracy, but still claimed to be democrats, and are, to all intents and purposes. Prosperity hav- ing come they now are back within the toid. In 1896 a similar condition existed, with the added sentiment for sound money. Hundreds of workingmen voted for Mc- Kinley on the tariff question, I have just been out among the workers who thus vot- ed. The common expression with them is that this year they will be found ck in the ranks of their old party. They say they have accomplished their object in vot- ing with the republicans two years ago, | and as they are by nature and education democrats, there is now no reason why they should operate, with their old-time political enemies.. They say that protec- tion is an assured fact, and will not be dis- turbed even should .the democrats win. On all other issygs except protection they are democrats. With this feeling the re- publicans will lose several hundred votes in the gas belt, they had two years ago. The republicans, profess to believe that the silver issue is sti a prominent factor and that laboring men and gold democrats will vote with them until silver is dead in- deed. It may be so, but a careful stu of the sentiment.among the people w change this opinien. The republican mana- gers peint with confidence to the fact that two years ago there was a fusion be- tween the democrats and populists and yet they had a majority of about this combined vote, while this year there is no fusion and, that the democratic vote will be reduced by this disaffection of the populists, The Gold Democratic Vote. They fail to realize that their own vote was largely increased by gold democrats, and that bad the gold democrats voted with their own party the election would have scored a very decided democratic vic- tory. One of the important questions this year is where will this gold vote go? The silver democrats for two years have been very angry at their gold brothers and have been doing what they could to drive them permanently from the party. Now and then a gold democrat wiil be found who says thai it will take one more crushing defeat to drive their party from the silver heresy and that they will this year again vote with the republicans, with that end in view. It is only one here and there, however, who takes this stand. It is frue that the silver sentiment 1s not newr so strong as it was two years ago, and, not- withstanding, the democratic convention unequivocally declared for free silver at the ratio of sixteen to one, yet, outside of a few of the mcst blatant ones, it is generally considered that the issue Is a dead ono. Indiana democrats, however, are noted for hanging to an issue*tong after it has been dead and buried in every ether civilized community and this m: account for the declaration in their plat- form. The same convention that declared so unequivocally for free silver nominated a ticket largely composed of pronounced gold men, some of them having openly voted fof McKinley, The great leader of the silver wing was slaughtered wi mercy when he asked a nominati the hands of the convention. The ticket being so largely composed of gold demo- crats insures {t the support of that wing of the party, and the silverites are stand- ing loyally by the ticket. The chances are the republicans will stand alone this year, without allies, while the democratic party will be practically united, with the populists keeping in the middle of the road. The latter, however, owing to the return of prosperity, are not likely to cut much of a figure, and it is doubtful if they will cast more than fifty per cent of the vote they did in 1804. If this proves to be the case, the republicans will likely get most of the votes the populists lose. The re- publicans will lose the gold democrats and the democratic tariff workingmen and only have this small gain from the popu- lists to offset this loss. On the legislative ticket, however, the republicans start in with a marked ad- vantage, and, as the legislature will elect a senator, they are-Tooking after that end of the fight with a good deal of vigor. Of the twenty-flve hold-over senators the re- publicans have nineteen and the democrats six. This gives them a great advantage. Of the twenty-five to be chosen they can reasonably count on electing ten. This will give them twenty-nine, or a majority of elght. For the house the outlook is in favor of .he democrats, but can they elect enough to overcome the advantage in the senate of the republicans? Senatorial Catididates Abundant. Of senatorial cdndidates the supply ts abundant. Among; the, democrats Senator Turpte has the advantage, but he has many enemies, especially’ ‘amgng the sound money democrats, and they _y be strong enough to defeat his renemingtion. His strongest cpponent at the present time is ex-Gov- ernor Matthews, but fe, too, was a silver follower of Bryan.’ Willlam E-: English ts the dark horse. He ig-at present in Cuba with the army. He gerved a short term in Congress, and Was fer several years had his eye fixed on the Sénate. Personally he is very popular. Some/three years ago he inherited great wealth from his father, the late Willlam H. English. He is a man of fine education and of marked ability. H; is the favorite of the gold democrats, and in earnest will make if he enters the race it lively for Mr. Turpte. The republicans are hard put to it for senatorial timber. Leaving Gen. Harrison out of the calculation, they have no man with commanding ability to make the race. Judge R. 8. Taylor is a man of ability, but lacks the faculty of making friends. Mr. Frank Hanley served one term tm Congress, but his azquaintance in the state is limited. Gen. Lew Wallace has taken himseif out of the race. Mr. George W. Steele has made a valuable mem! of Congress, but has not been consi as phage ers pos- sibility until r | weeks. Secretary of State Owen ia terms in on the chances, Hi M been frequently mentioned, and it has been met with favor, owing to his presumed close relations with President McKinley. If Gen. Harrison would accept the place he could have it without question, provided the repub’icans have a majority, but no cne dreams that he would accept. On this election may depend the political com- plexion of the Senate, hence its importance. ————— ENJOYING MOUNTAIN AIR, shingtonians and Others at Lake Park.

GERMANYS ACTIONS Why She Has Pursued a Hostile Attitude in the Philippines, Jenlousy of the Liability of Our Gain- ing Possession the Prob- = able Cause. To the kdltor of The Evening Star: The clumsy, lil-disguised purpose of Ger- 1 many to make of the United States an in- strument to draw chestnuts out of the fire for her ts at last beginning to attract the attention of our people. Always frank and direct in our international dealings, we are siow Yo understand the insincerity and un- scrupulousness of musty old-world diplom- acy. If it is often expedient to appear to accept diplomatic professions, On the other hand the weather eye should always be kept on the alert for what is behind sych professions, which may, perhaps, be used to conceal motives and undeveloped proba- bilities. The discipline maintained in the German service is such as to make it im- possible to relieve that government of re- sponsibility for the affront offered the United States at Manila, and semi-offictally approved by the press. The action of Ad- miral Diedrich and those under his com- mand was undoubtedly inspired by the Ger- man emperor. That word, in official lan- guage, may mean as much or as little as circumstances make it expedient to avow. From the moment that Germany declined to fall into line with every other nation in the declaration of neutrality in this war it became evident that Emperor William had something in his mind; that he proposed to use our country to his own advantage without getting hurt in return. The plot js now unfolding. It is to try to put the Unit- ed States in a false position before the world by irritating her to the point where she would lose her self-control, and by open- ly resenting attacks whose apparent mo- tive would be diplomatically disavowed, to put us technicajly in the wrong. That would give Germany the opportunity she is seeking to baffle the United States. It is greatly to the credit of Admiral Dewey and of the administration that by the ex- ercise of admirable tact, prudence and judgment the trap so deliberately laid has thus far been avoided. But some, unfamil- iar with the facts, may say that, while all the other powers are feathering their nests, poor Germany is left out in the c 4, and it is no more than natural that sh should want a share of the spoil won by uthers. Just so; but why, if such are her needs, must she go about it in such a way? Her method is the last that would be likely to succeed with a high-spirited and powerful nation, because it s attended by circum- stances which TS individuals nor na- s forget or forgive. vga Germany, is very far from being left out in the race for colonial prizes. In Africa, which offers the gilt-edged stock of the colonial market of the future, she already has snug possessions aggregating no less than 833,000 square miles, equal to the united area of Germany, Austria- Hungary, France and Spain. Even with the well-known fecundity of the Teutonic race it will require ages to stock those cole onies with people, and be quite sufficient to call into action all the reserve ener- gies of an empire that is not yet on a firm and solid foundation. But it may be a surprise to some to learn that Germany also holds very tidy posses- sions near the present scene of action in Oceanica. The acquisitions of Germany in those waters include no less than 100,103 square miles: Japan has only 47,000 more. These Pacific colonies of Germany embrace the Marshall Islands, offering an excellent midway coalingy station; then, closely ag- gregated, in a line extending east and west some 1,500 miles, are the Soloman Islands, the Bismarck archipelago, nearly three times the area of the Hawailan group, and New Guinea. From the magnificent island of New Guinea, which is nearly as large as England and Scotland together, to Ma- nila is less than half the distance between San Francisco and Hawaii. The distance from New Guinea to the coast of Asia, on another line of a triangle, is the same, Thus we see that Germany's present tick- lish course in the Philippines must be at- tributed as much to jealousy as to any perishing necessity for more porte or ter- ritory, whether in the Pacific or anywhere e Whatever be the ultimate disposition made of the Philippines by the United States, whether to retain, abandon or di- vide them, or merely to keep a fortified coaling port, these facts should and prob- ably will be carefully considered before Germany is allowed any share of what she has earned title to neither by right nor conduct and does not need. The policy of the other powers in that quarter has — ane been so bigest as to row course of Germany into str and regretable relief. er — 8. G. W. BEN. N. July 15, 1898. fara SSS ee Rarest Bird Known.

Mr. Matte! was today presented to officials of the War Department by Mr. W. P. Sutton, former consul general to Mexico, and will hold himself in readiness to accompany the first expedition if de- sired. Mr. Mattel wes a coffee planter and mer- chant of Porto Rico, and associated him- self with the insurrection which broke out in February, 1897. His part in the affair was to go to San Domingo and secure arms and supplies. He was seized by the gov- ernment of Hayti, and when he returned to Porto Rico finally he was just in time to find the insurrection suppressed and himself a prisoner. He purchased his re- lease from prison for $3,000 and fled the island. He has spent the intervening time in Hayti and this country. Mr. Mattel says the predominance of opinion among the insurgents is for annex- ation to the United States. A letter has been filed with the proper authorities here from one of the high officials of the auton- omist government in Porto Rico urging an- nexation. Mr. Mattei brought with him a large amount of information upon the conditions in Porto Rico, which has been turned over to the military information bureau of the War Department. He thinks there will be no difficulty in capturing Porto Rico. He says the Spanish forces in the tsland con- sist of 5,000 regulars, about 8,000 volun- teers, 1,000 municipal guards and 1,000 civil guards. He believes that at least 2,000 of the volunteers will go over to the Americans in a body with their arms and equipments as soon as the United States troops effect a landing. The total number of the insurgenis, including the 2.000 in the volunteers, he estimates at 5,000. Mr. Mattei recommends that the cam- paign in Porto Rico should not be under- taken with the bombardment of San Juan by the warships as the first movement, He thinks the troops should be landed at another port and immediately sent into the hill country back of San Juan. There they will find quarters in the great coffee drying houses and a climate as healthful as could be desired. The city of San Juan itself is a fever hole every day in the year, but the other portions of the island are free from fever and the climatic con- ditions are salubrious. The capture of San Juan, he should be effected from the land side. Thi defenses are poor in this direction and the place could be taken after a slege and blockade of the port by the navy. On the ocean side the fortifications include four modern long-range cannon, See TO REWARD THE CHINESE. Admiral Dewey Maki Citi- zens of the Chinese on His Ship: Admiral Dewey's recent mail commun!- cation to the Navy Department has given the most generous reccgnition to all those who participated in any way on board of the American stips during the battle of Manila, and includes a specific recom- Mendation as to the Chinese who are sery- ing in various minor capacities. This ree- ommendatton, affecting the question of cit- izenship, was turned over by the navy to the State Department, where the following ement was made today; n further proof of the nobility of char- acter of Admiral Dewey in his recom- mendation to the United States government that the Chinese servants and other Chi- nese who were on the ships of his squadron during the battle at Manila, and who ren- dered most efficient service on that occa- sion and behaved in a most exemplary manner, be recognized by this government in some substantial manner. He secms 10 think that men who have battled for our country should not be excluded from it. In to these Chinese he says that they showed such courage and energy in the face of the enemy that they were cer- tainly worthy the treatment accorded cit- {zens of other countries who have not ex- posed their ‘ives for the country in which they seek citizenship. He is decidedly in favor of recognizing these brave and useful Chinese in such a way as shall admit them to the United States in case they desire to become citizens of it.” ——- e+ Firecrackers Make Horses Deaf.
