Progress of the War.

Progress of the War.
MONTEvIDEO, Dec. Admiral Mello,
on board the Aquidaban, which was
accompanied by an armed merchant
vessel. succeeded in forcing his way out
of Rio harbor last midnight, under
heavy fire from the forts at the en-
trance. A British gunboat followed the
Auuidaban to sea with the intention, it
is surmised. Of being present at a pos
sible battle between Mello's vessel and
the two sent out from New York.
Before the crossing of the bar of Rio
harbor the Aquidaban was reriously
damaged by fire from the forts, After
getting out side the vessel steamed off in
"A southerly direction, but many believe
that this may have been only a ruse,
and that the course was changed as
soon as the ship got out of sight of the
land.
1t is stated that Mello had previously
said he intended to go out and inter
cept the expected vessels. 1t is under
stood that he has expressed the opinion
that he can engage them from several
points at once at long range and either
shell them or blow them up before they
can reach Rio.
Mello Is reported to be in no way un-
easy over Nictheroy's dynamite gun,
believing that the gunuers Will not be
able to aim accurately in a sea way. He
is said to he much more concerned
about the last torpedo boats bought at
Ebling, i'm Germany. than he Is about
! the two vessels fitted out in New York,
which are looked upon as little more
! than experimental playthings.
There is no truth in the report that
President PeiXoto has been assassinated.
PeiXoto was engaged to-day in repair
ing the brooches made in the forts and
works ashore, by Mello's ships as they
passed out.
The HcrdidS correspondent i'll Rio
says the Local papers are jubilant over
the loss of Mellos warship Javary. 1t is
now positively known that the vessel
was sunk because the rivets of her
plates were lOosened by the firing of her
heavy guns.
Fort Sac Joao fred upon the Javary
while she was sinking. Only one sailor
was drowned. Before the vessel sank
one of the sailors rushed into the tur-
ret and discharged one of her guns, The
shot struck Il building, but did not do
much damage.

States cruiser Newark the other day.
Shot and shell are rained upon Fort

SAMOAN ALLIANCE.

Led 10y a desire to compose differences
and contribute to the restoration of
order In Samoa. the United States, de-
parting from its policy, entered four
years ago into the treaty of Berlin,
thereby becoming jointly bound with
England and Germany to establish and
maintain Malietoa Laupepa ms King of
Samoa. Early IN the life Of this triple
protectorate the native dissensions it was
designed to quell revived. Mataafa,
then aspiraut to the throne. and large
number of his native adherents, were in
open rebellion on one of the islands.
Quite lately at the request of other
powers and in fulillment of its treaty
obligation. this Government agreed to
unite in n joint military movement Of
such dimensions as would probably
secure the surrender of the insurgents
without bluOdshed.
Mataafa was defeated and number
of his men killed. The chief and ten of
his principal supporters were deported
to a German island of the Marshall
group where they are held as prisoners
under the joint responsibilities and cost
of the three powers.
This incident and the events leading
up to it signaliy illustrate the impolcy
.of entering alliances with foreign
powers.

Basket Ball as Played in z. M. @.
A. Gymnasiums.
A Game for Both Sexes-It Is Something
~Like Football, But Has No Rough
Features and Is FuD
of Fun.

For long time gymnasium instruc-
tors were confronted by the necessity
for game which could be played in
doors by old and young, male and fe-
male. They wanted n game devoid of
rough features, yet one which should
be thoroughly scientific, and which
should afford plenty of opportunity for
good healthy exercise for the scholar
or business man, and training for the
athlete. Such possibilities, says the
New York Sun, have been discovered in
the game of basket ball, which has be-
come SO popular in school and club
gymnasiums throughout the country.
The game was first introduced by the
directors and pupils of the Y NJ. G. A.

training school at Springfield, Mass.
Its advantages were soon perceived,
and the sport spread to the gymnasiums
controlled by the Young Mems Chris
tian association, and was further in
troduced in scholastic institutions and
club gyInnasiuns. At the training school
the game was developed, and a strong
team was drilled in the simple work
ings of il by James Naismith, one of the
Springfield instructors, and an earnest
worker in the field of all-around sport
and recreation. In New York and
Brooklyn are several good teams, and
these play the game from time to time.
The game can readily be played in al
most the smallest gymnasium. AS the
sizes of the exercising rooms vary, the
game played by each team is slightly
different All the match games are
played under regular rules, however,
and the peculiar disadvantage which
gym" may have for the visiting team is
remedied SO far as possible. The game
can be played out of doors on large
field quite as well as in a small gym
nasium. The goals pictured in this col
umn are used, the upright one for the
field, on which it can be placed at any
point, and the other for indoor play.

used to turn the goal so that the ball
may readily be regained. These goals
are the improved article. The first
goals, from which the game got its
name, were only peach baskets nailed
to the wall or running track
The game can be played by number
of men at once. In small gymnasium,
however, five side is the most con-
venient number. In larger rooms nine
men can play on side. This is con-
sidered the regular number, and they
are placed as shown in the accompany
ing illustration. The game itself is
strictly one of passing the ball from
man to man. 1t can neither be kicked
nor batted with the fist. The object is
to get the ball into the basket or goal.

four feet tall. To get an un-
covered position is of the utmost i'm
portance, as the player can thus easily
get the ball and as easily pass it to one
of his side near the goal. 1t requires
great deal of practice to put the ball in
the goal, which is placed at some dis
tance above the players heads. Not
alone must u player be skillful, he
must also be very lively. A player
must throw the, ball from the spot
where he catches it, but he can turn
around to throw it, No interference is
allowed, and taclzling and pushing are
strictly prohibited. A player may only
obstruct the passageof the bali after it
is thrown ti
When the game is played on a field
the player may run with the ball if he
continually throws it above his head
and catches it again. The ball may
also be dribbled along the ground with
the hand.
Team play counts. for everything in
basket play. The two forwards and
the home man should always work to-
gether to get the ball into the goal.
The backs guard the goal, and the cen
ter men are supposed to get the ball
and pass it forward toward the home
man.
The game is usually played in two
halves of fifteen minutes each, with a
slight intermission. When goal is
made the game goes right on. 1t is
perhaps the fastest" game played to-
day, and is played with snap which
football players in lining up may well

Townsend was reached. All this distance
the s-wer was laid at depth of ten feet.
When the railroad crossing was reached
pit was dug where the old brick sewer
ended.
Then it was found that the old sewer
was II feet inches below the grade. The
new sewer had to be put at depth of only
ten feet since IL was at that depth down
the entire street. This made its base
twenty inches higher than that of the
sewer it was built to drain.
MIR. Manson of the Sewerage Com ais
sion investigated the matter at the request
Of Street Superin tendent Ackerson. When
asked his opinion yesterday be said:
Tine CITY Surveyor did not give the con-
tractor sufficiently spec6c instructions.
The phrase, Sewer to be ten feet below
grade if connections allow may be in
terpreted in many ways and practically
gives he contractor full power to put the
sewer at whatever depth he pleases.
hfr. Williams has built a good sewer
ana | haven't the slightest doubt but that
he acted honestly in putting the new
sewer at uniform depth of ten feet. TIE
depth at which sewer is laid is a most
important part OF the work, as it fixes its
grade and determines its usefulness. 1t
should not be left to the judgment Of a
contractor, but should be carefully estab-
lished by competent engineer.

which would be quite practicable. This
would necessitate the expenditure of sew

Mr.. Holcomb, the Deputy City Sur
veyor, said Contractor Williams made
mistake in beginning 10 build at the wrong
END Of the line. Sewers are supposed to

nections allow" at the bottom Of a plat

He stated tnat he did not think Con-
tractor NllllamS would be responsible for
this extra expense and added that he could
not remember when such a thing had ham
Eened before
Contractor Williams thought there was
nothing TO make row about. The speci-
ncatl0ns called for sewer to be laid ten

that way and when he got to Townsend
street found that the old sewer was twenty
inches deeper than his. If the SURVEYOR
had told him to lay his sewer eleven feet
