CONCENTRATTON SYSTEM.

| very Little Can He Done ~ Spair
70 Alleviate Suffering.
| Havana, November 22.--Much has been
written against the edict Of ''reconcentra-
| tion" issued by General weyler, but It Il
claimed hero that careful study Of the
question would show that the result Of the
abolishmcnt OF that system would be TO In
tenslfy the suffering Of the destitute people
mostly women and chlldren--who have
gathered together near tho towns held by
the Spanish troops. for nearly all the coun-
try homes and peasant huts have been de-
stroyed BY fire and the soil Of the country
has been laid bare.
The Spanish authorities are seeking to
solve the question to the best Of their nhil-
ity and are making endeavofs to give able
bodied "roconcentrados" work, and are
trying to srccor those who are too weak
to do anything for themselves. but It must
be admitted that very little in this dIiec-
lion can DO expected OF the Spanish gov
crnmcnt when It is remembered that the
authorities are eight Inonths IN arrears 10
the soldiers and experiencing tho Utmost
difficulty in providing food for the army
In the field.
Under these circumstances there is only
one way to succor these destitute people.
and that Is TO appeal TO the char
table women OF Cuba for a,5. and to ask
the International Red Cross soslety to take
the matter In hand. But here again the
pride of the spaniards Lars the way. and
it is likely that the distressing condition
OF affairs existing IN Cuba will continue
until some humane persons arise in Europe
Or In the United States AMI make a deter
mined effort to assist thosa whose only
crime is that they ara compelled TO obey
the orders OF those In authority.
The Spaniards in some cases go even fur
Their than this and take he ground that the
Red Cross movement should ne started In
the United States, adding that as IT is from
the United States the Insurgents receive
their aid, so 1t should be from the United
States that the movement In behalf Of The
suffering of both sides should come.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF the POstpOnement
of the Navnl Plans.
Constantinople, November 22-The Turk
ish government announces the postpone
ment until spring Of its naval tganiza-
ticn plans This Is undoubtedly due to the
representations of Russia to the effect that
arrears of the Turkish Russian war In
demnity are still due, and If Turkey per-
sists in spending large sums of money upon
the reconstruction OF her navy Russia will
insist upon the payment of these arrears.
Therefore the announcement just made by
the porte is equivalent to the indefinite
shelving of the proposition to rebuild the
Turkish navy and is a decided setback for
the policy of Germany, the latter country
having been extremely solicitous of taking
part in rebuilding the Turkish fleet

-Four Runs and Five Hits.

Boston, oct. 6.-The last ball game of
the season, and the third in the Temple
cup series, was as dull and uninter-
esting a contest as has been seen here
for many a day. The Baltmores won
with ridiculous ease and practically eX-
hausted the pitching talent of the Bos-
ton nine. In the three games all four
of the new champions crack twirlers
have taken their turn in receiving the
severest kind of pounding, and for the
third successive game the home team
was obliged to make a change. Lewis
was taken out today, more because of
his wildness than of the orioles hard
hitting. although when he did put them
over, hits came in as usual.
Kohedanz took his place and did a
trine better, but in the eighth was
pounded hard. a slight shower came
up Just as the Bostons were ending
their half. and the game was called,
the score reverting to the seventh and
cutting off four runs and five hits for
the visitors. Hoffer kept the hits well
scattered, and while somewhat wild
at times, was not hit hard, except in
the third.
The weather at the start was per-
feet, but before six innings had been
played the sky darkened, and If the
shower had not come up the game
would have been called at the end of
the eighth. The enthusiasm was ut
terly lacking today, the rooters being
disheartened by the ease with which
the Baltimores disposed Of the Boston

PITCHER NICHOLS.
Charlie Bennett, Who Once Caught the
Great Pitcher, Tells Of His
Chief Characteristics.

Kid Nichols, the pitcher who is given
the credit for winning the pennant for
the Bostons, pitched to Charlie Ben
nett for three seasons and the ex-
catcher has very high regard for
him.
when I was with the Detroit team
Nichols used to carry water at the
Kansas City grounds" said Bennett to
a Detroit reporter. "He was brought
up there. When he began to play ball
he was in the Southern and Western
leagues for awhile, and in 1891 we got
him from Omaha. He is a great
pitcher.
There is nothing very peculiar about
his delivery. He stands right up in the
box and throws a great many straight
balls. He has a wonderful control over
the ball and every one is right around
the plate. They don't get many bases
on balls with him.
Most of the balls which Nichols
throws are either fast or slow straight
balls. His delivery for both fast and
slow ball is so nearly alike that only
a man who catches him right along or
watches him constantly can tell what
he is going to throw.
balls and switch off to slow ones con-
stantly, to keep a batter puzzling over
what he is going to do. What fools
many of the batters is the way he
throws a straight ball. He will give it
just little upward movement or out
ward shoot Of not more th1n a few
inches, but it takes "a very quick eye
to gauge it.
I'm the winter Nichols bowls a great
deal. Several years ago the Boston
people tried to get him to stop bowling
because they had an idea that it might
hurt his arm for pitching. You see, he
was one of the mainstays and they
didn't want anything to happen to
him. He kept on bowling, though, and
they found that it helped his arm by
developing and Strengthening it instead
| of hurting it, There is no mistake
| about it-he is a great pitcher. He
| seems to be better this year than he
has ever been, although he has been
| good all along"
