THE NEW YORK MEETING

Only one> game was played in the St.

when Steinitz (black) defeated Pillsbury
(white) after forty-five moves in a Queens
gambit declined.
Pillsbury is not we'll, but he has followed
cut a determination to play on schedule
time, and has thus lost the third successive
game. The Brooklyn man opened his at
tack faultlessly, but he grew very listless,
and the veteran Steinitz took the advan-

The fourth round of the tournament was
completed yesterday, when Lasker (white)
beat Tschigorn in Ruy Lopez after thir-
ty moves.

Sherman as a Warrior

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The following brief remarks are not in
tended for an academic discourse on sculp-
ture, nor as a critique on the question as to
how boards of awards or such important
art works should be constituted. They are
simply intended, before the opening Of the
competition, as reminder in the nature
Of caution not to foist on us another
abominabla statue as an everlasting re-
minder Of the degeneracy of sculpture.
In the painting of portrait we demand
that the character of the man, his soul,
his intellect, should be portrayed. In the
dierly greatness should be represented. We
do not want body, only 80 much per
pound" In statue we ask the same. In
this special instance, democratic simplicity,
noble lines, no clap trap. General Sherman
hated all humbug. He was a warrior, and
as such, and such only, he ought to be rep
resented.
In this instance we should forego all
architectural structures and strive for the
sculptCresque only. OF the models exhibit
ed only one comes close to the beau ideal of
sculpture. 1 think 1t is the one by William
Ordway Partridge. 1t is simplicity, true
and pure in design, and also keeps in view
the architectural aspect.
The next in importance. strictly from an
artistic standpoint, but too elaborate and
aristocratic a combination of sculpture and
architecture, is the James e. Perry and
Casey model.
J. Massey Rhnd and Bush Brown are very
creditable.
One model seems to be intended for bal

JAP5'. WAR VESSELS.
American Fires Anxious to Build n
Few.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13-Among
the passengers on the steamer China,
which arrived here last night from ia
pan, were General G. B. Williams of
Philadelphia, and George w. Dickie
of this city. These gentlemen repre-
sent respectively the Cramps of Phil
adelphia and the Union Iron Works
of this city. They have been to Japan
in the interest of their respective firms,
looking toward securing for the Uni
for the building of war vessels, which
the Japanese government expects soon
to let.
In discussing last evening at the Pal
ace hotel the probability of this coun-
try securing the awards for building
Japan's new war vessels, General Will
liams said that at the time he and
Mr. Dickie left Japan no official action
had been taken in regard to awarding
the contracts The financial status of
the nation for the current year had not
been determined. When the diet ad-
journed six weeks ago the Chinese in
demnity had not been paid, and the
appropriation for naval construction
had been set aside. The Japanese gov
eminent, said the general, is very fav-
orably impressed with the war ships
of the United States which have thus
far been sent into Japanese waters.
General Williams said Japan was rap
idly developing her resources in the
way of naval construction Already she
is turning out first-class war ships
from 5000 to 1000 tons burden.

WASHINGTON, May 13.--Among the
spectators of the unwilling of the
statue of General Hancock, was Senior
Palma, the president of the Cuban re-
public in the United States.
Senior Palma has been over in New
York for some time and it is rumor-
ed he is CRYING his personal attention
to the shipment of arms to Cuba, but
this is denied by the patriots here,
who say Senior Palma is concerning
himself with diplomatic matters only,
and that he has Intentionally Kept his
skirts clear Of the charge OF aiding the
filibustererS.
In talking over the situation in
Cuba Minister Palma said with evil
dent earnestuess:
Il feel very much encouraged over
the outlook for the Cuban republic.
Gomez with an army is coming west
ward again and Garcia will soon follow
with another. If we could put 10000
rifles only into Cuba. the war would
be over in six months.
'"rhe sentiment OF Americans and
the attitude of the government of this
country over the Competitor affair are
very gratifying to us. / think the
United States government is being
more convinced that the methods Spain
IS pursuing in Cuba
ARE TOO UBIQUITOUS
TO be permitted to proceed much
longer.
The talk in the newspapers of this
country and Europe about Spain
bringing the war to a close by giving
Cuba some sort of home rule is as
ridiculous as are the Spanish reports
that Cuba was already about to be
closed in a benefcient garb of reform
when the war began.
There never will be an end to the
present war unless it comes with full
independence for the Cuban people.
That is what the Cubans are fighting
for; that is what they will continue to
fight for until it is attained. Spain is
in a most desperate condition, ana is
growing weaker, while we are growing
stronger Cuban freedom is assured as
absolutely as any coming event can
be foreshadowed -
