The column which first arrived on the
estate entrenched itself as precaution

The second column, consisting of the San

picket, and responded by calling out the
name of the battalion-San Qusntin.e
The picket misunderstood the reply.

piece and fell back to their entenchmept
where the report OF his rifle caused all the
troops to seize their arms and prepare to
rcpel the attack.
The second column continued to ad

rebels for whom it was looking. 1t had
not gone far before the first column

Washington, March l5.-Tliere will be
meeting in the Arlington hotel, in this
city, Monday, of the presidents of the
several minor league organizations. in or
der to formulate some united protest
against the action of the National League
in regard to the method of drafting play

season.
What the outcome of the meeting will
be IS only a conjecture, but If such hot
heads as President Hickey of the Western
Association are followed. there will be an
open break, and base ball war will mark
the season OF 1896.
President Young is not worrying much
over the intended coming Of the minor
magnates, and says that, when he fully
explains to these gentlemen the real bene-

achieve in a financia, way. he is confident
many Of them will regret the outlay OF
