General Sporting Notes..

The largest crowd of the season saw the
warmest game of the series in Infantry
Hall last evening, and it was corker.
The game was won by Dickey Pierce in
the overtime. Incidentally Mr.. Pierce was
assisted by a gentleman by the name OF
Mills. The fact became evident after the
first toot of the whistle that both teams
were out for the game.
The Pawtucket team were encouraged
by large crowd of their supporters and
no fir witness of the game will not con-
ceed the fact that as far as scientific polo
is concerned the Grays were outplayed,
and the referee was responsible for the
victory being perched on the Providence
banner. The game was see-saw from
start to finish and excitement was at fever
heat during the entire game.
When each goal was scored the buzz OF
excitement would be drowned by the
notes of the organ and it was noticed that
when the Grays won the goal the loud
pedal was applied. Individual comment is
unnecessary regarding either team. Both
were out for the game. and every man
worked for his side with unusual vigor,
and it must be conceded that the gentle
man who occasionally gets in dab on the
referee was given ample and sufficient
cause last evening. Although he may not
see the matter in the same light, enough
fouls were made by both sides to reduce
the score to ciphers. Captain Canavan,
especially in the last period, did enough
holding and tripping to lose the game for
Providence, and the beauty of it was he
did it with perfect apparent impunity. 1t
is not to be understood from this article
that the Grays were alone to blame in this
respect, but the fact was apparent to every
spectator that if the game had been de-
cided on it's merits the Tigers would have
won on fouls alone.
Menard and Dickey Pierce worked to
great advantage, and Al Sword was
tower of strength in front of his goal.
Capt. Jimmy didn't cut great deal of
fouling tactics, in this respect he was re-
markably successful. Cunningham and
the Writings gave an extremely clever ex-
hibition of team work, and time and again
passed the ball all around the men in gray.
Lations stopped on several occasions what
looked like sure goals.
When the crowd realized the fact that
overtime would be necessary they rose to
their feet, and the remainder of the game
was witnessed by as an excited an audience
rs could be well gotten together. The
summary:

ACT AS MEDIATOR
SPAIN MAKES A PROPOSITION TO
THE UNITED STATES.
She Accepts the Good Offices of the
United States to Act as Mediator
and to Guarantee to the TnSur-
gents Amnesty and the Enforce
l,ent of the New Reform Laws
Which Spain In Ready to Pro-
claim in Cuba

Washington. Dec. :M.-The Post says
it has been learned from an autlori-
tativc source that Secretary Olney and
Senor Dupuy de Lone. the Spanish
minister. have practically terminated
the negotiations on the Cuban uues,,
ton which are to be submitted to con-
gress when it cOnvenes on Jan. .. The
terms Of the agreement are based on
the recent official communication from
tpremier Canovas, addressed to the
Secretary Of state. The premier states
clearly the terms which Spain will ac-
cord to the insurgents and practically
asks the United States to propose these
In return for our good offices Spain
assures this government that she sin
'tclplv dcplOres the great commercial
loss which we have sustained on ac-
count of the Cuban disturbance. She
assures us that she is even now con-
sidering Il reciprocity treaty which will
deal mainly with Cuban products and
which will be framed in such advan-
tagcous terms toward this government
that our losses both in commerce and
in the destruction of American prop
erty in Cuba will be most generously
compensated.
Premier COnOvaS says that Spain
cannot, of course, as a self-respecting
and respected nation, stand before the
world as having been coerced into
measures by the United States. She
has freely granted all that she now
offers. and that in the face of rebel
lion. But she accepts the good offices
of the United States to act as media
tor and to guarantee to the insurgents
amnesty. and the enforcement of the
new reform law which she is about to
proclaim in Cuba.
The form of government offered is.
the Spanish statesman declares. the
limit of independence which can be
granted to a province by any. nation
without absolutely sevcring the bonds
of union with the other country.
Autonomy as enjoyed by the Cana
dams can never lie granted i'll Cuba.
What Spain is willing to grant the in
srrgcnts if they lay down their arms.
and what she asks the United States
to guarantee. is an act which provides
for Il council of administration which
shall control all matters pertaining to
the commerce of the island and all
estimates upon the general taxation
and expenditures of the island as we'll
as its general home government.

Brainerd, Mimi. Dec. 3O.-Thc sur
vey of the Gull lake government res
crvOir overflow is now completed. and
the government surveying crew to-
day returned to st. Paul. From that
city they will go to Big Stone lake
and survey for the reservoir to be ere
ated there. They expect to finish there
about March 1. after which they will
go to Shell lake and make Il survey
for another reservoir. a great deal
of opposition has developed to tho con-
strlction of the Gull lake reservoir
dam by the government. The settlers
who own lands that will be overlooked
appear to be all against it. and many
others claim that the removal OF the
overlooked lands from the tax rolls
will be Il serious loss to the county.
1t is also claimed that most of the
settlers who will he flooded out Will
leave the county. The settlers say
that almost the entire productive value
of their farms is il the meadows. all
of which will be overlooked. and that
they cannot make Il living on the
island SalnlhillS thar will remain. and
that their buildings will thus be made
valuclcss. They say it will not be pos
Siblc to get remuneration from the
government anywhere near equal to
the actual damage. and that many set
tiers will he ruined.
The surveys have just been conf
pletcd and the government is expected
to proceed with construction work i'll
the spring. 4 protest by petition Il
year ago would have hung up the
work indefinitely. The extent of coun-
try that would he flooded is very large.
