BRILLIANT BRITISH VICTORY.
Tsepulsc OF an Attack by Manipuris Restores

ASimla cable dispatch says: Advices have been
received of brilliant success for the British
near Manipur, which, following upon go much
depressing news from the same place, has de-
cidedly raised the spirits Of the British officials
The state OF mind in which these officials find
themselves may be judged from the fact that
the report that the viceroy Of India, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, is upon the point Of re-
signing his office has created but little sur
prise hsre. According to the cheering dis
patch received today the Manipuris have made
q fierce attack upon the slender
force Of Ghoorkas, commanded by
Lieut.. Grant, winch recently captured Fort
Thorbat, driving out an overwhelming force Of
Manipuris at the point Of the bayonet after
playing sad havoc in their ranks by wcll-di-
rected rifle fire.
STUBBORN ATTACK.
The Manipuris attack was stubborn and de-
terminedly made, and they pushed forward in
spite of the destructive fire with which they
were received. The enemy fought CALAMITY
for every foot of ground, the attack lasting
three hours, during which some superb fighting
was witnessed on both sides. Finally
the Manipuris were repulsed, the usurping

GILBERT HATFIELD. OF a base ball, made in
1872. when he cast the sphere 1873 yards, foot
~ inches. He has played with New York for
some time, but last year there quite q
squabble over mis- services between New York
and Boston's clubs of the Players League, the
former finally securing him. He played in II
games. making a batting average OF 277 and a
fielding average of $40. He stole but 4 bases
but he showed up pretty well as u sacriicer,
making u such hits.
PAUL HINES.
So much for the batteries and in-ield. The
out-feld is yet to be given its introduction.
This is comparatively easy matter, as two OF
the three men have played in Washington be-
fore, Hines and Bcecher. The former Of these
two men is so thoroughly Washingtonian in
everything that it seems but proper that he
should again be wearing the Senatorial clothes
on the feid. lie lis one of the best known men
In the profession, and also one Of the most
deaf. Paul is great favorite with other play
ers. and many sly little tricks are put up on
him by his mates during every trip away from
home. all OF which he takes with wonderful
good nature. Last season he began work with
Pittsburg in the National League. but there was
a money difficulty aud Paul went to Boston,
still III the old league, where he finished the
season He played in 100 games altogether,
and his average in fielding was about 920-it is
difficult to estimate his actual fielding average,
because he played at times on first base and
then again in the outiield-and his batting
average 237. He stole fourteen bases and made
twenty one sacrifice hits.
