HAVANA, Oct. l7.-Advices from Madrid say
that Admiral Beranger may DO forced to retire

criticisms on the deplorable condition OF the

workmen were badly hurt and the vessel in-

and the cruiser Alfonso Trece have also sus-
tanned serious injuries.
Military hospitals have been established at
the Guines Free School. founded at the begin
ming of this century. and at tho Santa Clara
Orphan Asylum.
The Madrid press has been accusing the Span
iards in Cuba of not doing anything to aid
Spain to suppress the insurrection and of de-
pending entirely upon the mother country for
the protection of their lives and property. Such
conduct. the Madrid newspapers declare, re-
veals an absolute lack of patriotism. Ei Co
,nerciO the organ of the Spanish retail dealers,
repels the accusation. and adds:
the Spaniards here share all the hardships
endured by tie soldiers sent from Spain. In
addition to this they see their fields devastated.
their estates burned. their crops lost their agri-
cultural implements destroyed. and their cattle
either sacrificed by the enemy or patriotically
devoted to the country's service

A NEW FOOTBALL TRICK.

Strictly IL Accordance with the Ruios. Yet
n Powerful Attack, on the Order OF the
Former wodge-how the Pennnytvnnta
Players Work This Latest Strategy.
For the past two weeks football sharps have
been discussing new play which has been In
troduced by tho University Of Pennsylvania,
and which has proved as effective as the old
time wedge. or mass on tackles. The play Is
called the guards back interference" and ex-
perts who have watched It's workings say that
It is one OF the brainiest tactics known TO col
lege football.
When the new rules were framed, It 10 said.
the Pennsylvania representative on the COM
mittee strongly advocated the rule which
compels Ave men TO remain in the rush limo
when their side has the ball, and allows two
men from the line to fall back within q FIVE
yard limit to assist the four regular backs. II
is claimed, too. that the guards back inter-
ference" had been thought of then by the
Quakers. and that their advocacy of the new
rule was shrewd bit of polltcs, for the play as
1t is now mnde meets the exact requirements
Of the regulation, and yet proves to be power
ful method Of attack.
