The locals could do nothing with Dwyer’s pitching yesterday and lost again to Cin- cinnati. For eight innings the game was as close as possible, The visitors hit Wey- ing’s delivery hard, but excellent work by the local outfield prevented scoring. Ten putouts were made by the outfield, Selbach catching six flies, Donovan three and Gett- man one. On the other hand, the visitors put out at first base fifteen of the locals, making only four putouts in the field. Four hits only were made by them off Dwyer in yesterday's contest, and but one, a double by Donovan in the fifth inning, was a cle -cut affair. On the other hand, the Reds obtained eleven hits off Weyhing, who, despite the bombardment he received the previous day, was again put on the rubber. Of these hits one was a homer by irwin in the ninth, it bein however, to the fact that Gettman by running up on the ball, instead of taking it on the bound, allowed it to get past him. Another long hit was a triple by McBride in the third inning. McBride and Peitz were very par- tlal to Weyhing’s pitching, each getting three hits. Dwyer also made himself fam with it, securing two hits, The four hits made by the Senators were divid- ed betweeh Selbach, McGuire, Wrigley and Donc+an. it the eighteenth game played by the Senators since their return on the 4th in- stant from their western trip. Of these eighteen games they won five and lost twelve, one of them being a tie with the Cleveland team. Up to the ninth inning the core stood 2 to 1 in faver of the visitors, the work of Selbach and Wrigley preventing the score being much larger. Selbach captured six and several of them were of the difficult nature. A play by Wrigley » fifth inning was the feature of the game. With one out and McBride on first, Dwyer hit a hard and high bounding one over ‘ond. Wrigley by a great jump t it with one hand and alighted on ig, Shapping it to first on the run in time to catch Dwyer.

Selbach was the real thing again yester- Gey. Maybe Algie McBride is not doing well with Cincinnat!. George Wrigley may not be steady at all times, but he saves many a run through sensational plays. His work yesterday vas beyond compare. joke Beckley fs very much on the Tuck- er order, headless, but conscientious. He works like a Trojan for’his team, and is valuable on this account. = Through all the Senators’ defeats the su- perior work of Capt. McGuire should not be overlooked. He never s! be- hind the bat day after day, and on top of it Is hitting well and fielding as well as the best of them. Would that we had more lke McGuire. ee ‘The plays made by Selbach and Wrigley Brooklyn Louisyile. yesterday were alone worth the price of admission. Sel's catch in the first inning threw him head over heels, and he nailed the double play on a beauty throw to sec- ond. Wrigley’s stop and throw to second recalled Jennings at his best, and brought the spectators to their feet. Bobby Wallace, the Cleveland’s great third baseman, was formerly a good pitch- er. He was sent to third and became a wonder. Why not try Donovan at third? He has an arm of iron and is quick on his feet for a big man. We know what he can do at the bat, and Mr. Wagner may run against a lucky selection in picking up Donovan as a third baseman. The transferred series with Cleveland may not be played at National Park after all. Should the Senators take a substan- tial brace on the coming trip, the proba- bility is that the games may come to Washington, but should our representa- tives continue their losing streak, the se- ries will be played in Philadelphia. Nego- tiations lookirg to that end will doubtless be completed today in Philadelphia. Jimmy Fields, the recently acquired first baseman from the Eastern League, could not stand the adverse criticism of the local “fans,” and asked Mr. Wagner for his re- lease yesterday. It was granted. Fields is one of the best minor league players in the business, but has never been able to put up the article of ball that would hold him in fast company. If money would only persuade Goekle, the first baseman of the Wilkesbarre club, to go into National League ranks, he could get the limit at the start-off. Tim Hurst and Earl Wagner know the young man personally, the former making a great try to get him this year, as Mr. Wagner has done for the past three. But Goekle has a law practice in Wilkesbarre and refuses to leave that town. He graduated from Pennsylvania University, and playee first oe for the club representing that ‘var- Cincinnati has not passed through the fire yet. The club has two more trips to make eest, embracing about eighteen games. and the last trip inay prove the same disas- treus journey as of yore. But the Reds need not borrow trouble. If they can get @ good lead on their own grounds they can afford to lose games away from home. Delehanty’s work yesterday with the stick clearly illustrates that a natural hii ter will work around and show up well in the average: King the season through Del has had off and on batting streaks th season, but when he gets going he is like « whirlwind and easily bats around the .300 mark, which quickly brings his average up equal to the big hitters in the league. Jack Doyle played third base yesterday for the New Yorks and did his work well. Hartman has been yéry erratic and has lost game after game by wild throws. While in Washington Doyle remarked more than once that he thought he could play third and that he might fool a couple of the wiseacres who thought he couldn't fill that position. If Jack does well at third for the Giants, the club can be looked for to make a decided brace in winning game: The playing of Tommy Corcoran at short for Cincinrati in the series just closed stamps him as being one of the most fin- ished artists in the business. Some years back when Brooklyn had him on the block, one of the local wiseacres remarked that he always wore the cleanest suit of any player in the league, meaning thereby that Tommy wouldn't slide when running bases and that he was something of a record player. That same wiseacre recently re- marked on the ability of Tommy and placed him as premier of them all. Watkins’ bunch of Pittsburg beauties have just closed the eastern series of which so much was predicted and have consist- ently refused to slide towards the rear. Of course they have lcst a first division posi- tion, but there is only a shade separating them from New York, and as they play at home that place can easily be regained. The thirteen-inning game in New York ye: terday, score 1 to 0, does not look as if they were quitters. Mr. dman of New York, has repudi- deal made by Anson for the pu of Catcher Jack Boyle from Philade phia for $1,000. When Mr. Freedman did not send for Boyle, and the $1,000 was not forthcoming, Colonel Rogers inquired of Mr. Freedman what was the cause of the delay. The answer did not satisfy Colonel Rog and he has asked the league board of directors to decide whether New York must take him. Mr. Freedman has not an- swered Colonel Rogers’ charges. He must do before the end of the week or the will be decided against him by de- ait. ecretary Stanley Robison of the C'! land club is authority for the statement that there is no prospect of the Cleveland am being switehed to Indianapolis next season.“ We don’t think Indianapoils would be a better paying town in the long run than Cleveland has been,” said Mr. Robi- son, “and if we move from Cleveland at all it will be to a city that promises better attendance than we have been receiving in Cleveland in some years.” If the Cincinnatis finish first or second this season, they will try to arrange a se- ries of games with their nearest rivals, to be played for the world’s championship, commencing Sunday, October 16, that date to be played in Cincinnati, and the series to be closed the folowing Sunday In either Chicago or St. Louis. Such a series for the benefit of the players would create great interest and net them as much as any team ever got in a Temple cup series. If Boston finishes one-two and will not compete in such a series, then the Reds are willing to take on the best western club in the league and play them on a 60 per cent to winner and 40 per cent to loser propo- sition Capt. Tebeau, who was charged with dis- orderly conduct in throwing a bat at a spectator at Union Park, Baltimore, Thurs- d failed to appear at the central police tion yesterday, and his deposit of $2 is forfeited. I must say that I do not blame Tebeau for throwing a bat,” said a gentleman who saw Thursday’s game. “I was in the grand stand near the Cleveland bench, and I saw several young men lean over the front rail and apply the vilest epithets. One in particular was a flagrant offender against Tebeau, who was not bothering him in any way. Throwing a bat was mild re- taliation.”” When Informed of this Manager Hanlen said: “I have given strict orders time and again that any man using insult- ing language toward visiting players should be ‘fired’ right out of the grounds. Tebeau should have called the attention of a po- liceman or an usher to the insult, and the man would hav2 been ejected.”—Baltimore un. Improper Conduct Alleged. “A Lady Patron,” writing to The Star, complains of the conduct of the visiting players on the bench at National Park. “At Thursday's games,” she writes, ‘some of the Cincinnati players kept up a con- tinual tirade of bad language at the play ers and umpire. Whether the umpire heard the remarks or not, I cannot positively state. He did, however, speak to them (or ‘to one of them) once, telling them to keep still. They prefaced their remarks to each other with oaths and vulgar expressions, which could easily be heard by those in the frent seats. “Another disagreeable feature of the games that day was the presence in a box of the Cincinnati club's so-called mascot, whose disgusting behavior I will not at- tempt to describe.” THE NATIONAL REGATTA, Result of the Rowing on the Sehuyl- kill Yesterday.

The following dispatch from Admiral Sampson was received. at the Navy De- partment yesterday. afternoon: “PLAYA, July 22.-Expedition to Nipe has been entirely guccéésful, although the mines have not beén removed for want of time.

It is purposed to ® ha base there, which will save at ‘least two days in getting supplies into Cuba, as compared with the Santiago route.

ATTEMPT T0- WREAK VENGEANCE Spaniards, Although Caught Off Guard, Routed the Cubans. NOT YET VERIFIED 2S STORY A remarkable dispatch about General Garcia appears in the New York Herald today, dated Santiago Thursday last. It is as follows: Great excitement was caused in Santiago today by a story brought in by the Cubans that 4,000 Cuban insurgents, composing General Garcia's army for the eastern de- partment of Cuba, were routed in a fierce engagement with a detachment of Spanish troops bound for Santiago to surrender. I was unable to verify the story. I give it as the army here heard it. In this battle, which took place at a point several miles to the north of this city, forty-one Cubans were killed, the Cubans. say, and many more were wounded. The Spanish loss, | am informed, was much ‘smaller. Nothing happening in this vicinity recent- ly has taken the American officers and troops so completely by surprise as this story of battle between the Cubans and the Spaniards. Our troops had come to look upon the insurgents as eaters rather than as fighters, and they scarcely believed the reports that Garcia’s men had lain in am- bush and had opened the fight by attack- ing the Spanish troops. - Garcia’s Defeat. I have been unable to learn as yet wheth- er General Garcia was aware of the num- ber of the enemy he was attacking. If he thought he had encountered a small force of Spaniards and could overpower them easily it was a grave mistake, apparently. There were at least 5,000 Spaniards in the body, according to the report, and they drove Garcia’s-men into full retreat a few hours after the battle began. When the Cuban general withdrew his troops to the mountains, as already told in the Herald’s dispatches, he resolved to move onto Holguin, about sixty miles to the northwest of this city. If the Ameri- cans would not allow them to wreak ven- geance on the Spaniards in Santiago the Cudans proposed to storm some other im- portant place and take possession of it on their own account. It was with this object In view that Gen- eral Garcla withdrew his troops from the American lines and refused longer to act as an ally of General Shafter. He decided to capture Holguin, if possible, and to there set up an insurgent government, making that place the Cuban headquarters for the eastern department. Attacked Surrendered Men. It Is not stated how far to the northwest of Santiago General Garcia's army had pro- ceeded upon this mission when the Span- ish troops were encountered. They had been marching for many hours, however, and must have been well started on their journey. I am told it is a question as to which were the more surprised, the Cubans or the Spaniards, when the two bodies of troops met on the road between Santiago and Hol- guin. Spaniard s said, had been athered from the fortified towns in the nity, and were proceeding to Santiago under the terms of surrender agreed to by General Toral. They were seeking to carry out in good faith the agreement made with General Shafter. They were not looking for a fight, and were caught off their guard. General Garcia, I am told, ordered his men to form so that they would be con- cealed in the chaparral, hoping to annthil- ate the first section of the Spanish troops. His plans were promptly put into execu- tion, but the Spaniards, quickly recovering from the demoralization caused by the opening shots, fought fiercely, and General Garcia’s ambuscade was a failure. Although unsuccessful in his plan to trap the Spaniards, General Garcia, according to the Cubans who brought the story, sent word to them demanding that they surren- der forthwith. To this demand the Spanish commander returned an emphatic refusal. “General Toral,” he notified General Gar- cia, “has surrendered to the American army, not to the Cubans.” . The Order to Fire. Despite the information that these Span- ish troops were a part of those included in General Toral’s surrender, General Garcia is sald to have ordered his troops to pre- pare to fight. The Cubans quickly took the positions to which they had been assigned, and the or- der to fire passed along the line. General Garcia had decided, it is said, to attempt to carry the Spanish position’ by assault, and his troops pressed forward wken the word was given. Their progress was firmly resisted at every point by the Spaniards, who, after several hours’ fight- ing, put the Cubans to rout, with a loss of forty-one killed and many wounded. The Spanish suffered a smaller loss. This story of battle, and its disastrous results, has greatly excited the Cubans. They are demanding vengeance and can- not understand why the Americans do not arnihilate their Spanish prisoners of war. General Garcia, prior to this latest re- ported exploit, had been a source of great trouble to General Shafter, the American commander having been met at every point by Cubans with claims for precedence. Opposed the Terms. All of the Cubans violently opposed the terms upon which General Toral surren- dered to General Shafter. Those terms were dictated by General Shafter, but the Cubans ever since the city formally sur- rendered, last Sunday, have done every- thing in their power to render the carry- ing out cf the terms difficult or impossible. This latest reported exploit of Garcia in attacking a detachment of American pris- oners of war is regarded as characteristic. It is in line with the course he has pur- sued ever since he discovered that he was powerless to interfere with General Shaf- ter’s plans about the government of San- tiago and the treatment of the Spanish troops who had surrendered. After he found himself free from the an- noyance of the unreasonable Cubans Gen- eral Shafter set about to rid himself of the only other disturbing element in the situa- tion—the “yellow journalists.” Foliowing the arrest and deportation of Sylvester Scovel, General Shafter has banished from this part of Cuba all of the correspondents and artists of a well-known New York paper. General Shafter resolved to put an end to the mischief these “yellow journalists” were dcing, and hundreds of “yellow” pos- ters, bearing the words ‘Remember the Maine,” which were placed about the city to incite attacks on the surrendered Span- jards, have been torn down. CUBAN JUNTA’S STATEMENT. Vice President Capote Will Go to Cuba to Investigate Garcia’s Action. After a consultation at the office of the Cuban junta yesterday the following state- ment was given out at New York last night by Domingo Mendez Capote, the vice pres- ident of the Cuban republic: “I have not received any official informa- tion concerning the reported misunder- standing between General Garcia and Gen- eral Shafter. If there has been any such misunderstanding I regret it very much. “As to the letter to General Shafter, ac- credited to General Garcia, if authentic, it states that General Garcia the matter to our civil government and to a: I personally, then acting tainly fulfill the pledges we have made as .to complete co-operation, and will do ali in ur power to expel the common enemy as soon as possible, following such plans as may be suggested by the American com- manders’and in every way assuming our part in the confiict. I will return to Cuba as soon as possible and there, on the ground, will fully investigate and report as to existing differences. “I am absolutely convinced and I can state with authority that the objects of the American administration are identical with those proclaimed by us. This intention on our part we have published in all our docu- ments, and more especially in a proclama- tion of President Masso dated April 24. 1898, which was passed in acordance with a resolution passed by our council of gov- ernment. This proclamation pledges the perfect security of life and property of all residents of Cuba, whatever may be their nationality and political faith. “The proclamation of President McKin- ley concerning the establishment of an American military government expresses these identical objects. I have carefully examined the document, and in view of my conviction as to the object of the Amert- can administration, comprehend that this proclamation fairly states the position which the United States will assume in Cuba, and I believe it to be very reas able and practicable. As the proclamat states that all the political relations the inhabitants in Cuba have ceased, it follows that all functionary and institu- ticns representing Spain have also passed away. The President has been very care- ful to state that the native onstabulary and judges shall continue exercising their functions, but it is only natural to suppose that when the military governor finds thos to have been implanted by the Spanish crown and not by the municipality he will proceed to substitute others in their stead. “According to the spirit pervading the President's proclamation, the only author- ity will be the military governor and his aids and the municipal authorities of the locality. We ourselves recognize the ne- cessity of continuing ad interim in oper- ation all laws other than pofitical. I have, with other lawyers, been engaged in for- mulating these laws, with certain slight changes necessary to the new regime.” ‘There were present at this conference held with Vice President Capote, T. trada Palma, president of the junta: B jamin Guerrera, treasurer: retary; Ricardo M.

Schley Learned That the Coton's Captain Had It and Seizea I GUANTANAMO RAY, July 1.—When Ad mirab Cervera and th other officers of th fleet of Spain were about to sail on the St. Louis as prisoners of war it was disco: ered by Flag Lieutenant James H. S that the cfficers of the Cristobal Colon had their log books with them. He report- ed the fact to Commodore Schley, who at once ordered them seized. The second in command, Adolphus Con- treros, Capataine de Fri came aboard the Brooklyn and asked that they be re- turned, as they were the only record save. Commodore Schley said: “I will turn them cver to my government for information. Contreros stormed and pleaded, and fin- ally Commodore Schley lost his temper as much as he ever does and said: “I do not see that you are entitled to any consideration at all. You sunk your sh after you had surrendered. You ruined your guns and did everything that a dis- honorable enemy could think of.°I shall Fold your iog. The story told by the log book Is an In- teresting one. The minute details, as t lated by Lieutenant Benjamin Wells, from the daily record, constitute the first complete story of the movements of Cer- vera’s fleet from the time it left Spain to the memora’ of destruction.

Goschen’s Statement of the Supple- mentary Purpose Provokes Cheer: The eagerly expected statement of the first lord of the admiralty, Mr. George J. Goschen, on the supplementary naval pro- gram was made yesterday in the house of commons. He reviewed the original pro- gram, which was considered sufficient when it was framed, being based upon the two- power system, that the navy of Great Britain must be equal to the combined fleets of any two powers. But, in conse- quence of the action of Russia on the same system, the government was compelled to present a supplementary program, paral- leling the Russian increase of six battle ships which Russia proposed to begin in 1898. Only two battle ships were taken into account in the original British pro- gram, and the first lord of the admiralty announced that he now asked the house to grant four more battle ships. (Cheers.) Continuing, Mr. Goschen said: “The Russian program provides for four cruisers. We propose to build four (cheers), and also twelve destroyers. It is estimat- ed that the cost of the new program will be £8,000,000 ($40,000,000), making the en- tire expenditure for the new ships £15,000,- 000 ($75,000,000). The battle ships will be especially adapted for the passage of the Suez canal.” ——_—__-e- —______ STEEL PLANT NEAR PULLMAN. German Capitalists Have Began the Construction of Immense Works. A company of German capitalists and steel manufacturers has begun the con- struction of an immense steei plant upon ground purchased from the Pullman Com- pany just outside the limits of Pullman, Til, and will undertake the production of steel upon a large scale. Twenty acres of ground are to be cov- ered with buildings. The néw plant will be one of the largest steel-producing works in America, and means the active competition of the German manufacturers with Amer- {ean producers upon their own ground. ‘The company is said to be operating similar plants in Germany, Austria and Wales. ee BRYAN OUT OF POLITICS. He Says War Predominates Now and Won't Talk Anything Else. The 3d Regiment of Nebraska Volun- teers, in command of Col. Wm. Jennings Bryan, arrived in Jacksonville, Fla., yes- terday morning on six special trains over the Plant system railway. “Is this your first experience with the military?” he was asked. “Yes,” he replied, “but I have been mak- ing good use of my time studying up, and then my major and lieutenant colonel poth have had a hand at fighting, and we shal! get along. “Are you out of politics now?” “Yes, for the time. Don’t ask me to talk about politics; war predominates now.” Bryan's regiment will be encamped at Panama Park,.five miles from the city. ——_+o-+—____ “Joe” Leiter Protects His Father.
