the Northwest Athletic Association
Portland. March 3.-Secretary George
Wi.lett, Of the Pacific Northwest Associa-
Ton OF the Amateur Athletic Union. has
received an official copy OF the minutes OF
TIE recent semi-annual meeting OF the as
ISOLATION held at Tacoma, and after Civ
ing them careful reading he pronounces
Hhe entire proceedings OF the meeting, with
Tue exception of that portion relating to
the schedule. 10 be Illegal Mr.. Wille;t
deeiared today that the delegates to the
meeting had exceeded their authority
slossiy as TO justify the
ooaiu OF governors OF the
Amateur Athletic Union in reyoking the
racine Northwest Association franchise.
AS secretary OF the association he is re-
CURED 10 transmit copy of the minutes
10 the board of governors OF the American
Athletic Union. but he Will delay doing
SO until the board OF managers changes
them so that they will conform to the re-
quremeats OF the Pacific Northwest Asso-
Citations constitution.
Mr.. Willett had addressed a circular let
ter 10 the board of managers, calling their
attention TO the unlawful acts of the dele
gates at the semi-aGnual meeting. The
letter says: IF there was a meeting of
the board of managers. nothing in the way
OF minutes develop that fact. If meet
ing OF the association only was held.
then is apparent that the
board of managers IS not a
necessity. as far as some of the proceedings
are concerned. The power tina; is delegated
10 the board of managers was taken en-
tirely from their Jurisdiction and handled
by the association. One item that IL seems
unnecessary for the assoc.a. Zion 10 have
considered is the vote OF ;he Portland ANA
teur Athletic Club
Mr.. Willett also says the association ex-
ceeded its authority by reinstating
Schwartz, Veersteeg and Dowell, the
power of reinstating being with the board
of governors. He also states that the pro-
test of the Port Townsend Athletic Asso-
citation against the Seattle Athletic Club
should have been acted upon by the board
Of managers instead OF the association.

Madrid. March 25.-A majority Of tie
newspapers here print pessimistlc COM
ment upon the Cuban discussion al Wash
ington City, and point to the fast that
three senators upon the joint COMMIT ttee
have distinguished themselves by showing
ill-wiu for Spain. These newspapers claim
that this Is not a reas3uring symtom. and
urge the government TO prepare for every
eventuality. They declare that while the
vote on belligerent rights has not been f.
nally carried. the conflict continues The
press also refers to the fact that the
Spanish squadron remains in Spanish wat
ers. ready TO depart at any moment. The
official press however. takes a more opti-
mistic view OF the situation.
