Other Maine Teams.

Does aggregation of rough riders
from the whaling city of New Bedford
took two games right away from u.s.
yesterday afternoon, games tha'
should have been won. In the first
game, it is true. Dilworth was batted
somewhat, but had it not been for the
poor support given the Belfast jour
nalist, the score would have been en-
tirely different
The second game was lost through
Umpire Bradley's decision. The affair
happened in this way: 1t was in the
sixth Steere had received a base on
balls, stolen second and third, when
Butler had a passed ball. The sphere
bounded back about 10 feet from the
plate and Newell had run up to the
plate to intercept the New Bedford
man. Butler threw the ball like a die
to the pitcher, when Birmingham, the
tall New Bedford first baseman, inter
fered with the play. The batter not
,
but made an attempt to catch the ball
and thus allow Steere to score. Birm-
ingham began to limp around, so much
so that he hypnotized the umpire; at
least, that individual decided in favor
of the visitors.
Both games were full of excitement.

A GRAVE CONDITION
CONFESS IT BY PRO
CLAIMING MARTIAL LAW.

Havana, Jan. 4.-The authorities
have confessed to the grave condition
of affairs by proclaiming martial law
for the provinces of Havana and Pin
ar del Rio. Gomez has declared his
purpose to penetrate into the province
OF Pinar del Rio, although his forces
have not reached the borders of that
province. The action of the author
tiles is understood to indicate that
they have no OF preventing him
from carrying reat. 1t is not
only the organi. | force OF the
.dyancing insurgG that they find
themselves competed to prepare
against but the irresistible progress of
the insurgent army, whittier 1t llsteth,
from one end of the island to the
other, has served immensely to in
crease the boldnesS CT its sympathlz-
ers who hitherto have remained pass
i've non ,combatants. If there were so
successful a stroke, no doubt great
accession to the insurgent forces
would be gained throughout the prov
inces of Havana and Pinar del Rio,
and there are grave fears that an up
rising would occur in the city of
Havana itself.
1t is not by any means to be con-
sidered that the apparent lack o. hope
in checking the advance shown by the
authorities has led to a cessation of
efforts to prevent the advance. The
Spanish forces swarm on all sides Of
the advancing insurgents. From time
to time they have been massed at
what was considered a salient point
in the advance with the hope Of bring
ing about pitched battle; but the UNI
rivalled skill and generalship shown
by Gomez in averting such traps and
in carrying his army past tn se elab-
orately planned barriers has served to
greatly discourage the Spanish lead
ers. The battalions which were
placed near Palos, as stated Thursday
to check the. advance into Havana,
seem to have been completely eluded
and the efforts to save the rich sugar
country about Guines seems 10 have
been equally futile.
1t is believed that a large band of
insurgents is still trying TO ioIce its
way into Havana by way OF the
mountains about ElguanamOn, which
is on the border in the southern part
of the province of Havana. a small
force of insurgents, according to of
fetal reports, has already appeared in
the district of San Niceles, winch adj
Joins Guincs on the east. R,lOrts re-
ceived here are to the effect that the
insurgent forces are moving westward
from the southern portion OF the prov
ince vi havana. The northern insur-
gent army has been reported at Agu-
AGATE, about seventy kilometres from
this city. As already cahled, it is be-
lieved that the southern army Of in
surgents intends TO make an attempt
to affect a junction with tho division
in the province Of Pinar del Rio to
tho westward of HAVANA wig,
Additional information received late
at night states that numerous cane
fields between Guines and Melcna, and
the village of Zelueta, in the district
of Caibarien, have been burned by the
insurgents.
Later The insurgents are apparent
ly making a swift advance directly
