BEST OF THE YEAR.
Sharp Fielding and Good Pitching Be-
tween Toronto and syracuse.

Toronto, Ont, June 13.-Manager
Kuntzsch and his gentlemanly Syra-
cuse Stars made their first appearance
over the Don today, and assisted in
giving the prettiest base ball exhibi-
ton of the year. Kilroy was wonder
fully effective, and the five hits made
by Chapman's team were scattered and
generally of the scratch order. Gray
was in great form although the Stars
got in ten hits, including Minahan's
triple and Kilroys double. Sharp
fielding left eleven Stars on bases
Minahan's triple and single by Hess
scored the first run in the third. The
score shows how very much Kilroy
was in evidence. He made one run, two
hits, two putouts, three assists and
cleverly caught Casey and Lake nap
ping off first. Score:

Papers Read Before the Young Uniyersa-
lists Yesterday.

Boston, July 1.-THE afternoon session
of the Young Peoples Christian Union,
was preceded by the singing of several
state songs. Maryland, My Mary
La nd, /" and Marching Through Geor-
gia," with sacred words, are tremendous
enthusiasm generators. The first paper
of the afternoon was by Clara E. Wood
man, New Hampshire state secretary,
on "The Devotional Committee +" She
said: ''The young peoples movement
has been great quicl1ener of enthusiasm
in the Uniyersalist church. 1t has done
this through the devotional meeting,
under the charge OF the devotional
is not merely to select leaders and topics,
but everything that can bring success
to meetings., for upon them depends the
real success of the whole society. ;"
This paper was followed by an open par
lament in which questions as to methods
of making the meetings successful were
asked by the secretary and answered from
thS G3 Rag Pper read by Miss hSGhGd %nns

clared the lookout committee should de-

Uncle Sam Sends Another Job to
the Iron Works.
A STEEL LIGHTSHIP WILL BE
BUILT THERE.
Not Thing of Beauty. Perhaps, but Joy
to Bath Mechanics Whom it Will Keep
Busy for a Year-The New Steel Build
ing at the Works to be Rapidly Com
p1eted.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Bath. July lit will be very pleasing
not only to the many{Bat people who
depend upon the PRES to furnish them
with the news, but to every resident of
the Pine Tree State, to learn that the
Bath Iron Works, under the capable
management of General Thomas W.
Hyde, have been again successful
in their bids for government works.
Although as yet comparatively few
people knew it there was received at
these works this afternoon message
announcing that the company's bid for
the new light ship to be built for Uncle
Samuel had been accepted. Those who
did know it were truly very happy over
it, for it means that $35, 900 more will
be paid out to the laboring men of Bath
inside the next 12 months than would
have been the case had the company s
bid been unsuccessful
This new craft will, as was stated, be
a light ship, and her principal dimensions
will be: Length 100 feet; breadth 25
feet, depth 10 feet. Her total cost of
construction will be about SIS, 600, of
which one half will be paid out here for
labor. She will be of steel and carry two
maSts.
Like all other light ships, she will be
by no means thing of beauty, but will
be staunch and sound.
She will have single engine 90 inches
square, two regular boilers and one
donkey engine. She will also be fitted
with a very powerful Hyde steam wind
less and capstin capable of handling
3 1-S-inch chain.
1t will not take over 10 months or
year to build her and work will be at
once commenced upon her as soon as the
material arrives. The new steel shops
at the works will now be hurried for
ward as rapidly as possible.

along the principal streets of the town.
The decorations along the route were pro-

portraits hung from the.balconies and
pillars of mansions, and, onEthe lawns in
front, the occupants grouped themselves,
dressed in the costumes Of their ancestors
of hundred years ago. In the procession

TRAGEDY ON PIER 81.
Brave Man Perished in Trying to Save
Three Drowning Persons.

New York, July 1.-THE jollity..sswhich
81, East River, at Market street, was
marred last night by an accident in
which four and perhaps five lives were
lost in the waters of the river Last night
was beautiful moonlight one, and not
withstanding the coolness, scores of
couples gathered as is the custom, on
the end of the pier, to do their courting
and frolicking.
In the crowd were a man and two
women, who sat on the stringpiece at the
extreme end of the pier, their backs being
toward the water. The man was in his
shirt sleeves, and the women, one on
either side OF him, were dressed, one in a
red dress and the other in a blue polka
dot suit, and according to witnesses they
We're each about thirty five years old The
three were enjoying themselves in a quiet
way when suddenly about 9. Is O'Clock, a
man and woman were seen to approach
them
Every one at the moment was interested
in the music of young "Tim" Plane, a
local musician, when it was noticed that
there was a scuff1e going on and the two
new comers were seen to grasp the two
women at the end of the pier and try,
either in fun or ernest, to pull them from
the strlnSp1ece away from the man. The
man grasped the two women around their
waists and as the three pulled with COM
bined force against the new comers there
were heard couple of feminine shrieks
and the three sitting on the string pieces
were seen to go overheard.
AS the man and two women struck the
water Michael O'Neill, twenty-five years
old, steel engraver, living at No. 1877
Cherry street, rushed to the end of the
pier and jumped after them in a brave
attempt to save their lives. The tide was
running IN with terrific force and almost
as quickly as it takes to tell it the four
were swept up and out into the river.
The four came to the surface once or
twice and the women cried out for some
one to save them. Two young lads, both
typical wharf rats, then sprang into the
water, but were soon busy trying to save
themselves. By this time boat had been
procured and the two boys were saved.
O'Neill and the three strangers were be-
yond help The tide had swept the I'M
fortunates far out into midstream, where
they were drowned, and their bodies, per-
haps, will not be recovered until they
drift ashore somewhere.
No one appeared to know the names of
the man or women; they We're only three
of many who come to the pier, and names
and introductions are not customary on

Cubans Leaving Their Homes TO
Avoid Imprisonment.

BY CRUEL TREATMENT.

Yankee Who Wants to Fight for Them
He SAYS He wi Go To Cuha.

New York, July II. 11.-Passengers from
Havana, who arrived yesterday on the
steamer ..Seguranca report that the con-
dition of the Cuban capital is rapidly
verging on reign of terror. The sue
cesses of the insurgents in the eastern
end of the island, they say, have made
their sympathizers in Havana so bold
that the government became alarmed
and adopted the extreme measures of re-
preston. Many of the passengers are
refugees from Spanish oppression.
They say that the situation in the Gu
ban capital is extremely critical except
for the Spanish re sidents, inasmuch as
the merest suspicion of sympathy with
the insurgents is sufficient to cause ar
rests, and confscation of the property Of
the suspect frequently follows Wealthy
Cubans have, therefore, been leaving
the island in large numbers, on all sorts
of pretexts.
Among the passengers were Francisco
Sancuez Echeverria, who boarded the
steamer at Vera Cruz Mex. Four d ays
before the revolution broke out he was
arrested by the government and given the
option of leaving the island or going to
prison. He went to Mexico and imme-
diately placed himself in communication
with the junta in this city.
He said that he found strong senti-
ment in Mexico in favor Of the Cuban
patriots, and that number Of Mexican
young men of good families had offered
him their services to go and fight for
Cuban independence.
His visit to this city is said to be for
the purpose of securing supplies for an
expedition to start from Mexican port
Senior Echeverria spent the greater part
of yesterday in Editor Trujiller's Office
on lower Broadway, where a majority
of the leaders called to consult him.
Among them were Dr. Domingo Sabas
of Santo Domingo, who is here on Sc
cret mission in the interests of the Gu
ban revolutionists, and Gen. Manuel
Sanguilly, whose name has been men
toned in connection with the presi-
dency of the republic of Cuba, shortly to
be organized. Now that Marti S success
sor has been elected the friends of the
revolutionary cause expect considerable
progress to be made in the furtherance of
the cause of Cuban independence The
formation of a provisional government
in Cuba is expected to take place imme-
diately after the receipt OF the news down
there of Palma's election.
One of the visitors at the headquarters
of the party in this city yesterday was
Thomas r. Desmond, man Of middle
age, who desired to be enlisted He said
he was particularly anxious to go to
Cuba and help the struggle for indepen-
dence.
= ''We are not recruiting Secretary
Console de Quesada replied. "It is not
only against the law, but we have no need
of sending men to Cuba. We have enough
there now; in fact, more than we can sup
ply with arms and ammunition.
Mr.. Desmond, however, was not to be
thwarted, and said he would go to Cuba
and enlist.

THE UBIQUITOUS REPORTER.
He Wandered to Cuba and Got Mixed Up
in the Revolution.

New York, July 1.-THE British
steamer Ardanhu, of the Munson line,
arrived at quarantine this morning from
Cuban ports. Capt Walker says that
while the Ardanhu lay at Gibara on June
10, Mr.. Franc r. G Woodward, claiming
to be an American citizen and a CORE
spondent of a New York paper, came on
board his vessel and placed himself under
the protection of the British flag. He
explained that he had been in the noun
tains with the rebel army for the pur-
pose of obtaining information in the
pursuance of his duty as a newspaper
correspondent He was twice captured
BY the Spanish soldiers, but escaped.
When he endeavored to leave the rebel
camp, Gen. Maceo detained him and en-
deayored to have him remain as an Off
Ger. After several attempts he finally
escaped and made his way to the little
his horse and took passage in Spanish
steamer for Gibara. He had been deprived
OF all funds and papers. On his arrival
at Glbara he appealed to the United
States consular agent, Jose ii. Beola,
a Spanish merchant and an officer In
the Spanish army. He explained his
condition and asked protection as an

New York, fearing imprisonment. The
consular agent refused to recognize him
as an American citizen. He declined
to investigate Mr. Woodward s story by
communicating with Santiago de Cuba.
where, Woodward stated, his papers had
been filed with Consul Hyatt, and insult
ingly declared that all American reporters
were hired by the Cubans to write lies.
He strongly recommended Mr.. Woodward
to give himself up to the Spaniards,
which would have meant close confine-
ment at this time.
II promised him protection under the
British flag" said the captain, in the
face of all obstacles, and took him way
