Prominent merchants OF Pinar del Rio

desperate. His forces. they say, are half
naked. and are compelled to wander con-
tinually without rest. They are very
badly nourished, and many of the whites
In his command have consumption.
Maceo's encampments are said to be like
hospitals. Many of the negroes, Il Is
ale ged, are pale and thin, and fever,
dysentery and smallpox are causing
great mortality. Maceo's men are re-

HIS INITIAL ADDRESS.
JOHN X. REDMOND OPENS HIS
LECTURE TOUR LAST NIGHT.
Enthusiastic Welcome Accorded the Leader Of

New York, Nov. 30.-Hon. John X.
Redmond, leader of the Parnellite forces
In the English parliament. was ao ,orded
q rousing reception last night in the
Broadway theater. where he formally
opened his lecture tour In this country
on Fifteen Years in the British Parlia-
ment." The capacity Of the theater was
taxed, and many people were turned
away. The appearance Of Mr. Redmond
on the platform was the signal for an
outburst of deafening applause. the
whole audience rising, and with one ac
claim. the shout went Np: Another
Parnel! Hurrah for Ireland, Parnell and
Redmond"
After silence had been restored Mr..
Redmond went on to trace the growth,
and decadence at times, Of Parnells
greatness in the house of commons after
the general election Of 1880 up TO the time
OF his arrest as a suspect nearly two
years ter; his release, followed by the
Phoenix Park murders, the Piggott for
geries, the collapse of the London Times
and the introduction. in 1885, of the home
rule bill by Mr.. Gladstone. The whole
story was graphically related by Mr..
Redmond, who then told of his election
and hurried summons to London In 1881
to assist the little band OF Parnellite
forces who had kept the house In session
for 40 hours at the introduction Of the
coercion ac..

First Home Defeat.

First Home Defeat.
Captain Cotter and the Fall River con-
tingent came from home Saturday after
noon determined to win game from the
Tigers and their hopes were realized much
TO the disgust of the cranks. 1t was a
great game and those who witnessed II re-
ceived their full moneys worth of polo.
This was the first time the champions had
lost game at home and they didn't give
1t up without struggle.
II was the most rapid and best exhibi-
tion of polo playing seen here this season.
Tommy Cotter told his men before the
game that IL must be won and the Tigers
soon realized that they had run against a
swift crowd, who were after them in dead
earnest.
Then again, the agile Cotter made up his
mind to take advantage of "Hobe" Whit
ing's absence. All these conditions tended
TO make the game "hair raiser"
Lations had an uncomfortable time of
IL, as Cotter was in great form and his
drives for goal had force enough to go
through an inch plank. Cotter played the
game OF his life and was ably assisted by
Everett, Russell and Wodtke.
The excellent defence put up by Whit
ing and Lations was responsible for the
Fall River men not securing greater
number of goals than six. The rest of
the team work of the Tigers was good, but
the way the men from the Border City in
terrupted with the well laid plans of Bone
and Cunningham made the latter boys
very tired.
Russell found the pace exhausting his
wind and gave way to Connell in the sec
ond period, who didn't loose any time but
went in with rush and landed two goals
In short order. The "Tigers" realizing
that they had their work cut out for them
opened the final period with renewed en-
ergy, the Fall Rivers at this stage OF the
game being one goal ahead.
Bones many admirers got a chance to
express themselves about this time, the
popular player landing the ball by clever
drive from the side.
For the remainder OF the game the
champions worked hard to get ahead but
without success. The last goal was wor
by wodtke on a pass from Connell. Th,

The little difficulty between Menard and

will be benefited by the change. as Griffin
