Havana Sept. Another army is
about to invade Cuba, an army armed
with merchandise, in place of guns. In
stead of digging trenches, it will build
factories and open stores. This Ameri-
can army of peaceful occupation is
composed OF men who work with
money. with their hands or with their
heads Any member of it embarking
without enough money to live on for
half a year, had better turn back. To

DIFFICULTY OF GETTING ASHORE
The steamer drops anchor in the har-
Dor half mile from shore. Small boats
swarm around. In one of these boats
the American is r9wed ashore. The
waters of Havana harbor are always
rough. The spray vets the Americans
baggage, his clothes his face. He can
see plenty of opportunities for the en-
pIoyInent of his energies all about. The
small boat should be supplanted by a
tender to meet all incoming steamers,
until the harbor is dredged and a dock
is built at which ocean steamers can
land. The boatman speaks only Span
ism. The American. speaks only En-
glish and has no ii me to study lingo
Therefore, Havana must learn to use
the tongue of Ameri cans. That Span
ish rule is no more, hat the yellow flag
of the Dons is dow Z, is not enough.
The language, too, must go. AS the
boat leaps over the v 'aveS through the
spray, the American espies, on shore,
a great circular buildil lg. Instinctively,
he knows that it is the arena where

There was n slim turn out4at the ball
park Saturday, but those in attendance
were rewarded by as good a clean cut
| game of ball as the most enthusiastic
you could wish for. The Webster team
was opposed by a team OF local players,
supplied with a pitcher and catcher
from the regulars, and playing under
tie name of the Excelsiors, and the way
these boys played ball was a canton.

hits that looked good for bases they
pulled out OF the sky with ease, Gotten
especially Distinguishing himself. The
battery work was also at the top notch
as the score shows, to keep the heavy
hitting Webster down to 4 runs is an
achievement that any pitcher might be
proud of. The Webster boys started
out to run bases as they pleased but
after four or FIVE Were nailed to the
earth they exercised more caution.
Taken altogether is was a most enjoy
able game and the public can rest assur-
ed that a team can be got up here that
will provide a good article OF ball for
afternoons for which no matched games
are scheduled. The fielding OF the Web
ster showed a marked improvement
over that of the Saturday previous,
only one error, a dropped fly by a

Their battidg was not as light as the
score would indicate as TIE Excelsior
had a knack OF getting in front of any

for Webster.
