THE REFORMS In CUBA.
Outline of What Spanish Government
Proposed To Do.

Series of Administrative Boards to Be
Chosen-Will be Independent of the
Spanish Cortes-Home Government
VIII Retain Control of Laws Levying
Taxation.
Washington, January 1.-The effects of
the reforms proposed by the Spanish
government for Porto Rico, when extend
ed to Cuba, as proposed when the insur-
rsctIon is brought under further con-
troll, will be to create three series of nd
mipistrative bodies in the island, indie
Spanish Cortes. The voters, under a
system of limited suffrage, are already
permitted to choose boards of aldermen
of municipalities. Mayors are to be
chosen from these boards by vote of their
members. The next body in rank is the
provisional assembly of which there is
only one in Porto Rico, but one for each
of the six provinces of Cuba. The func-
tions Of the provincial assembly are
largely united with those of the pro-
posed council decentralization in Case of
Porto Rico, because there is but one
body.
The council of administration will be
an independent body in Cuba, and will
for the first time give the Cubana large
share of control over their internal do
mestic concerns. The home government
will retain control of the laws levylng
taxation and will reserve the right to re-
view the budget of appropriations. The
appropriations will be made by the coun
Gil of administration subject to approval
ofsthe ministry at Madrid.
The Spanish government does not pro-
pose at present to widen the limits of
suffrage, which extends to the persons
paying the combined tax of five dollars
and several learned professions.
The reforms in contemplation for
Cuba are largely those embodied in the
decree of March Is, 1895, which have not
been put in force because Of the insurrec-
ton. The changes which have BEEN pro-
posed in this law will require to be sub
mitted to the Cortes at their meeting in
the spring. 1t is not doubted the plans
proposed by the ministry will be &C.
cepted.

THE PROFESSIONAL GAME.

THE PROFESSIONAL GAME.
When the professionals skated out in
TO the arena there were fully one thous-
and people present and the excitement
was at fever heat from the very starr.
Sohofield. the new acquisition, was slat-
ed to play first rush In the place OF.
Dawson. This didn't please the cranks
very vel, with whom Dawson is de-
cided favorite, but they were content to
await developments, and see what the
new conner could do. In the first period
Portland got..two goals and the Augustus
none. Jordan for the Portlands put up
his usual fine game, willis Jason of
Augusta, did about ell of the work in
rushing the ball and Haokett's fine stops
in the goal won him much applause.
The second period turned out to be a
very disastrous one for the home team.
Augusta scored three goals in rapid
succession, and then the crowd, becom-
ing alarmed, began to yell for Dawson.
The cranks rightly or wrongly, attributed
the want of Portland success to the new
man, SO Manager Burnham sent Dawson
out into the arena. The result was fully
I'D to the crowds expectation. He began
at once to put up a magnificent game,
and in just one minute and twenty SEQ
onds he had Gagged the ball for Portland.
and the crowd went wild with delight.
All that could be heard was "What's
the matter with Dawson. He's all
right and Portland's first rush was
cheered again and again whsn the period
ended.
In the third and last period. Dawson
Gagged the ball three times in succession
and won the game. Foster played a very
slow game.in the first two periods, but
he got into the fight in the last period
and fairly outdid himself Whipple was
A trifle out of condition and didn't show
up as we'll as usual. John Allen, Port
lands goal tend, covered himself with
glory and was oheered again and again.
1t was one of the most interes ting and
exciting games yet played here. The
summary:
Portland-Schofleld and Dawson, first
rush; Whipple, second rush; Foster,
centre; Jordan, half back; Allen, goal.
Augusta-Jason, first rush; Gavitt. sec
ond rush; Molumpy, centre; Lee, half

Bath Forfeits to Lewiston.
Lewiston, January With the score
a tie to and 30 seconds more to play
in the third period, the lewiston Bath
game of polo was forfeited to Lewiston
by the referee on account of the con-
duct of J.. Mooney, the first rush Of the
Bath team. The goAi which tied the
score was made by Jones for Lewiston,
which Bath contended was not proper
~ in the goal. The Lewiston players
claimed the Bath players pulled the
ball out Of the cage during the scrlm-
mage. There was the biggest kind OF
rumpus and the wildestl excitement.
In the next rush J. Mooney hit the ball
before the referees whistle sounded.
The referee again placed the ball and
j. Mooney again rushed tbs ball before
the whistle blew. The referee demand
ed J. MONEYS removal from the game,
but 1t was not granted and at the end OF
two minutes the game was declared
forfeited to Lewiston. There was very
little scientific playing, especially by
Lewiston, which sadly missed Connel-
