NEW ALBANY OUTCLASSED.
No Match for indianapolis Basket
Ball Players.

The basket ball game between the Y. NJ. c.
A. teams of New Albany and Indianapolis
last night proved quite disappointment, as
the local team had things entirely its own
way from start to finish. The New Albany
men were unable to bring one or two OF
their regular men and were entirely out
classed by the Indianapolis players. AT the
end of the first half the score stood Is to
and at the end of the second half Is to 3.
The New Albany men did not make single
goal from field, their three points being
secured by fouls. The first half was very
clean and although onesded was the most
brilliant and rapid game ever witnessed in
Indianapolis. The second half was full of
fouls and interruptions caused by the des-
perate efforts of the visitors to secure
goal The guard work Of the visitors was
their weakest point, while the indianapolis
guards held their men down in good style.
The lineup was as follows:
New Albany. indianapolis.
Kraft ..............C center ............. Pferson
Greed .............. Forward. .............. Ryse
Spence ....,....... Forward. .......... Fleming
Brown ............. Guard. .............. Hester
Hammond ......... Guard .............. Purves
Greed and Hammond exchanged places
during the second half and Prtchard dis
placed Purves, of the home team. Officials:
Umpires. Faucet, CT New Albany; Pro-
fessor ink, of Butler. Referee, M. Sprinkler,
of Louisville.
One of the best amateur exhibitions of
wrestling ever witnessed in this city was
the bout between Jud Mahurin and Ben
Farlee. The men were evenly matched and
worked with lightning speed and skill for
fifteen minutes. when time was called by
the referee without either man securing a
fall. A fine bit of entertainment was the
cake walk by Morris Bryan and Charley
Craig the latter taking the part of the lady.
The audience showed appreciation by re-
peated encOres.

CAN Be BUT ONE FINDING.

The Havana Correspondents Have Not
Changed Their Opinions.
HAVANA, via Key West, March lc.-
With the departure Of tho court of in.
quiry after second visit to the scene
Of tho wreck Of the Maine the tension
grows serious. The court is nearly
ready to report. Unless there are new
discoveries here, which il unlikely,
there il nothing to be done but for the
members to seclude themselves in the
Iowa and formulate the convictions
already firmly held. There is no
reason to change the belief that
the court will find that the
disaster was caused by an explosion
outside tho Maine, but its members
have been as secret as the grave. The
chief officers have been absolutely dis.
Greet, while the talk of the divers has
been contradictory. From numerous
bits Of evidence that came out during
the three weeks examination, it seems
a. sure as anything in this latitude can
be that the plans before the court show
that the ship was broken in two and
the forward part rent asunder by an
explosion from the outside.

Gathering of a Large Fleet at
Key West Not Regarded
as Friendly.
No Official Rejoinder Neces-
sary From the State De-
...-. partment.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE main
development Of the day in the Spanish
situation was in connection with the
definite representations submitted by
tho Spanish government to tho state
department concerning tho assembling
Of large feet of American warships
at Key West, the war preparations and
the influence which these might have
on the approaching elections in Cuba.
While these representations cannot
properly be regarded as . protest
against the attitude and acts Of the
United States government they may
unquestionab bly, be set down as remon.
STRANGE calculated to have an effect In
European court circles. Not being q
technical protest the statement has
called forth no official rejoinder on the
part Of the state department for it is
lacking in tangible accusations, being
9ather an argumentative presentation
Of alleged Spanish grievances.

The official representations specially
point out that the presence Of a large
feet of United States warships
ct Key West cannot be regarded

Of ships was officially represented to be

tary visit. In short the presence of
this extern sive feet near Cuba, together
with the war measures taken by the
United States. are regarded by Spain
% seriously prsjudioial to the policy Of
autonomy which Spain and the United
States have alike approved, and an ill.,
direct encouragement to the insurgents
IN defeating the desires of both govern.
ments for the success Of that policy.
Finally, and in the same spirit Of
friendly representation, rather than Of
protest, Spain has pointed out that .
war BY the United States against Spain
under such circumstances would be un.
3ustifiable before the world, and
crime against humanity and oiviliza-
ton. The representations contained
no reference whatever to the Maine
disaster or to redress or indemnity
therefor.
