The first Of the present series OF games between the
brooklyn and Philadelphia teams played at East
m Park Brooklyn, yesterday The wintry weather
kss too much for the baseball enthusiastic and
puly the hardest Of cranksn venured out to East
New.York. Still there were about GOO present.
The game resulted In an easy victory for the home
team in spite Of the fact that the samo number of
haschits and errors were made on each side. The
Bridegrooms however, were fortunate in making their
hits Just when hits were needed, especially in the
latter part OF the game. Thornton wears smile OF
even greater magnitude than the famous grin OF
"smilng Mickey" Wech. His good nature did not
however save him from the terrible bats of the Bride
orooms Schultz, a wild-mannered young man, came
to Thornton's rescue in the eighth inning ana gave
Eve bases on balls in one inning.
The Philadelphia players went first to the bat, and
,coring a rum took the lead. In the second inning
one more run went to the visitors record ana they
increased their lead with two runs in the third
inning, both runs being earned. Delehanty started
the inning with a home hit to centre field.
The Bridcgrooms gave their friends chance 70
cheer by scoring run IN the third inning They adoeu
one more run TO their score in the fourth inning ana
did good work in the 1fth when scoring three runs
they took the lead and the crowd got gooo-natureo VIII"
startling suddenness Collins went to first on balls
and went to second on Grifns's sacrifice. Foutz mt
safely to right field and Collins scored Burns fol-
lowed with three-base hit between left and centre
fields and Foutz scored Pnkney sent long ny 10
right field and Burns ran home making the score 10
in Brooklyns favor. The home players got one more
run in the sixth inning.
AfteN two men were out in the seventh inning the
visiting Quakers got run. In the last han OF lle
inning Thornton lost his cunning and after two men
were out Brooklyn batted in six runs and cnched the
yjctor Schultz went in TO pitch In the eighth innng'
but he was 50 wild that he could not put the ball over
the plate The result three more runs for BrooA-
En. The score was as follows:

GOES TO INVESTIGATE SANTANA BAY.
Portau-Prlnce. Hayti. April o6-The Squadron OF
Evolution sailed from here two days ago for Hampton
Roads, leaving the flagship Philadelphia and the Kear
of the North Atlantic Squadron, in the harbor
The Philadelphia is ordered BY the Navy Department
to go to Samana Bay to report upon 1t as coallng
station. Rear-Admiral Gherardi says that she will
sail tomorrow, and there's telling how soon she
will return here. The ultimatum OF the Haytan Gov
ernment with regard to the cesslon of Mole st. Mich
oas to the United States coaling station was sent
to Washington by the Chicago. The refusal Of the de-
mands Of the United sates to be final and I'M
qualified and this action is due largely to some
mistakes that have been made during the negoua-
tions and that have been seriously criticised.
One'of the bestnformed and most intellectual men,
bers Of President Hlprolytes Administration said to
your correspondent couple Of days age: One OF
the greatest obstacles TO your getting the Mole If you
ever had chance to get IT, has been the bearing OF
Lieutenant Huse. the Admiral's aide. He seems not
to possess the qualities which 90 to make diplomat,
but is inclined to rub people the wrong way 1t Is
also reported that he has offended Minister Douglass
and his secretary, Ebenezer Basset, very clever
negro by the way and at one time haytian Consul
General at New-Yorb.
The Hlytians are also lncensed over the writings
Of a spondent OF New York newspaper end espe-
ciay over article which appeared on March oG,
think and which kened the people here to barbarans.
PortauP Prince, "Le Peuple,' which handled the writer
without gloves. It said that the Americans had better
stop killing Indians and Italians before they called
IIayans barbarans; II characterized the writer as
coward who hid himself behind hundred guns, etc,
etc The correspondent is Of the officers on the
Philadelphia, whom the Haytians well know. and. as
they are human, they naturally resent being charac-
terzed as barbarians. Furthermore, those in power
here educated men, and have shown what they
think Of the gltuOus attacks upon them by the letter
written to the Admiral declining to give up the Mole
The newspaper that referred to above, lie Peupe,'
says remains for the Hayans to come to the rescue
Of Frederick Douglass, and defend him against the
Misrepresentation and udslingng of some OF his fel
low Americans, whether II be the newspaper CORE
spOndent or any of the other Navy officers. The cor
respondent is too p9mpOus and opnionated to impress
people and his unwse writings show that lie IS capable
OF offending.
The Clyde subsidy scheme has fallen through. The
Philadelphia will need many alterations when she re-
turns home The experiments made at the New York
Navy Yard in January show that she Is deficient IN
initial stability, and the two mass will have to come
out.
