wEYLER HANGED IN EFFIGY.
Suspended From New Brunswick Post
Office md Fired At.

Ohice and Fired At.
General Weyler hung in effgy in two
New Jersey towns yesterday, citizens of
Cape May and New Brunswick celebra ting
Christmas by demonstrations in favor of
Cuban liberty.
At Cape May the Rifles, an Independent
company, sent a squad of men to partici-
pate in the affair. A big gathering was
present From a wire stretched across one
of the principal streets an effigy of Captain
General Weyler was run out until it hung
suspended over the middle of the road
The eftigy was carefully made to resemble
the Spanish commander in Cuba, and the
clothing was fashioned after the fed uni
form of Spanish general.
The crowd oheered when the effigy was
drawn into position, and Cuban flag was
unfurled amid an enthusiastic demons;ra-
ton. Then a detail of the Rifles filed out
and fired volley at the suspended figure.
Lieut.. Bailey commanded the detail Cap
tain Miller of the company was present,
but was not in uniform, and took no part
in the affair.
The figure remained hanging until about
seven O'Clock last evening, when it was set
on fire and burned, while the crowd wildly
cheered. Cape May is full of Cuban SYM
pathizers. Several men have gone from
there to fight in the Cuban army. Nearly
all of these were New Jersey militiamen.
70 Suspended from flag pole extending
from window in the New Brunswick post
office building an .eftigy of General Weyler
hung all day. The figure of the Spanish
general was designed by members of the
camp of Sons of Veterans. who took this
method to show their sympathy with the
CubanS.
A great crowd gathered and heartily ap-
plauded the utteranceS of those who took
occasion to denounce Spain and the Span

An ORDER FOR WAR SUPPLIES.
The Government Said to BE Preparing
for Emergency.


A San Francisco special says: The war
vessels upon this coast are preparing for
an emergency. During the week orders
were received from the ordnance depart
ment at Washington, ID. c., to supply Mare
Island with 1J0,o0 rounds of 2s-caliber
cartridges for navy revolvers. This order
came to Charles Sontag Co., and that
firm has been kept busy ever since filling
1t. Ammunition will be landed al the navy
yard, from which point it may be taken 10
the various war vessels, among which 1t
may be distributed.
That lJo.usU rounds OF revolver ammuni-
ton should be sent to Mare Island at this
time is considered more than a mere Incl
dence by men who are familiar with the
manner in which the Navy Department
conducts its affairs. 1T is generally believ-
ed that IL is the intention of the authorities
at Washington to put all the depots or
naval supplies upon what may be termed
an emergency footing.
AS many reyolvers of the 3S-caliber would
be effective only at close quarters the
opinion has been suggested that the heavy
order sent to Sontag may mean that the
government intends to send large force
into Cubans waters for the protection of
American interests upon that island TAX
ing the usual allowance of ammunition as
the basis of calculation, the lJo,Vo rounds
sent to Mare Island would provide car
tridges for the revolvers of 5000 men.
1t is known among military men here
that the Dupont Powder Company OF Della
ware is under contract with the govern
ment to furnish a large quantity OF powder.
When the heavy order for ammunition at
Mare Island is considered in connection
with the order given the Duponts, govern
ment officers confess that the army ana
navy are being prepared to answer at short
notice any call that may be made upon

IN TwENTY-sEvEN SECONDS.
O'DOnnell Quickly Knocked Out by
Peter Maher.

Peter Maher.
1t Just took twenty-seven seconds of time
for Peter Maher, the Irish heavyweight
pugilist, to again demonstrate his superior
ity in ring tactics and hard hitting qualities
over Steve ODonnell, the Australian boxer
in the arena Of the Greater New York Ath-
letic Club at Coney Island yesterday. Bo:h
men were in excellent condition aad trained
to the hour. Each of them was confident,
but Maher's hackers made him hot favor
lite by lfying odds ranging from 3 to 3 to
on the Irishman's chances Of winning.
From the outset Maher never left the re-
suit in doubt. He rushed at O'Donnell the
moment the referee called time and O'Don-
rell assumed the defensive The big Aus
tralian led his left for Maher's body, but
the Irishman blocked the blow with his
right-hand glove. Then Maher sent his left
to the chin. and swung again with his left
on the face. He put ODonnell to the floor
a second later with left en- the chin, and
after the Australian regained his feet,
Maher landed a left smash on the jaw fol-
lowing it quickly with a left half hook
which sent O'Donnell down In heap.
Steve rolled over on his back In, a help
less condition. and the referee slowly count
ed him out. The big Irishman stood about
twelve feet away from his fallen opponent
while the referee was counting on the
seconds, and as soon as the referee tailed
ten a tremendous shout went up from the
1,SOO people who watched the brief en-
counter. and the band played 1.-The Wear
ing Of the Green" In honor of the victor
Thirteen months ago Maher and O'Don-
rell met at the Empire Athletic Club, Mas
peth. L. l.. and on that occasion Maher
knocked out the Australian in sixty-three
seconds. Since that time O'Donnell and his
followers have frequently said that Steve
would not rest content unth he had an
other try at Peter.
It was announced that In all probability ,
the next contest to be brought or In the
Greater New York Club would be between
Peter Maher and Tom Srarkey.
Maher will leave for Pitteburg today and

evening when the house was filled to overrowing.
The exercises consisted chiefly Of Christmas songs
md recitations, which all performed very
credtably, and with which the large audience
seemed satisfied. After the exercises The TWO
christmas trees were unloaded and then the chill
dIen were mighty pleased. Friday evening the Con-
gregatona Sunday school held its celebration in the
church. Every available seat was filled before the
time for the exercises to commence. Songs and
re,.itations were the chief features. One song In
particular called out applause. u was entitled
THE Chiidren's Christmas. IL was performed 10y
twenty little ones. The singing and re,itations
alternating produced a pleasing effect. The Epis,

only One Game Played I'm the Series
During the Week.

VniS One tame Played I'm the Series
During the Week.
Only one game was played during the
week IN the basket hall league, but that
proved TO be extremely interesting. The
Carron institute team and the team repre-
senting the Washington Athletic Club met
and the former won by a good margin. 1t
was III this game that Smith established a
record for goal throwing, making seven
successful attempts during the game, near
ly all of which were in one inning This
beats the record made recently by Capt
Joe DAILY of the CAROLS, who scored six
goals during the course OF a game, and
which was shortly afterward eaualed by
McCabe of the Washington Light Infantry
team.
The first series of the schedule has ended
and the showing made by the clubs is in
teresting. The champions of last year, the
w. L. l., are still In the lead having been
fortunate in winning every game. The Car
rolls come next on the list, having defeated
the Eastern Athletic Club, giving that club
third place. There is no change in the po-
sition of the other clubs. The team Of the
Washington Athletic Club is playing in eX-
ceptionally hard luck. and has not yet sue
ceeded in winning its first game. The team
plays good game, and II seems hard that
1T should hold such a position. The reason
is, perhaps, explainable from the fact that
the club has met so far, with only one ex-
plays with the clubs lower down on the
list an improvement will doubtless be made.
The postponed game of December 10, be-
tween the Queer Wheelmen and the Cor
coran Cadets, which was to have been
played during the week, did not come off.
and 1t is possible that some arrangements
next week for the playing of the game will
be made.
Exactly one-half of the games in the
schedule have been played, leaving fifteen
more games to play. The Light Infantry
has only five more games on hand, the Car
rolls five, and all of the other clubs the
same number. No games will be played
during holiday week. and the next game on
the schedule is for next Saturday evening,
when the CAROLS and the Light Infantry
will play at the latter's grounds. This
game ought to prove interesting. IL the
CAROLS win it will give them chance to
win the championship, or tie it for this sea-
son, this being the last game the two clubs
play.
The standing of the clubs up to date is
