The Senators failed to take a game from
the Cleveland team in the double-header
affair yesterday. but they were up against
a cracking good club that played almost
perfect hall and hit unusually hard. Though
the Washington men lost both games, they
played with more life and spirit than they
have displayed for weeks. The occasion
was the temperance Of Arthur Irwin as
manager of the senatorial team, and also
the first appearance in Washington uni
form of three of his Toronto players--Wil-
liams, the pitcher; little Casey, and the
hard-hitting fielder, Freeman. Despite the
fact that Williams was pounded hard, he
made a very favorable impression, and,
had it not been for the disastrous second
inning of the first game, when five runs
were scored after two men were out and
two chances had been given to retire the
side, he would have made his first apps ar
ance in the big league a victorious cne
Mercer, who was playing short, and Smith
were responsible for these five runs, de-
spite the fact that the official score does
not charge them with an error. That Man
ager Irwin thought otherwise was appar-
ent when he yanked Winnie out of the
game and replaced him with Casey, who
in the two games accepted ten out Of eleven
chances.
Williams. in the opening game, was sup
ported by Farrell until the Duk. was nit
by a pitched ball and retired in the fourth
inning. MCGUIRE taking his place, and also
catching Dineen in the second contest In
both games the Cleveland men had their
batting raiment on, and they assaulted
Williams for eighteen hits and Dinean for
ten. winning the first game by a score
of to D. and the second, which was called
because of darkness at the close of the
sixth inning, by a score of to /. In the
first game five hits two passes and errors
by Mercer and Smith gave the Spiders the
game in the second inning, and in the sec
end contest, four singles, a sacrifice, a pass
and Anderson's throw to the plate in the
third inning. which hit the runner, gave
the visitors four runs and the game. Free
out of eight times at the bat drove the
ball into the right field bleachers in the

UNION VETERAN LEGION.
Annual Encampment of Former Sol
diers mt WiiIiamspOrt, PA.

The opening session of the eighteenth
annual encam..nent of the Union Veteran
Legion was held yesterday at the Lycoming
Opera House. williamsport. Pa. and was
largely attended.
An address of welcome was made by Col.
James S. Smyth. after which Gen. Archi-
bald Blakeley, the national commander of
the legion. took the chair. He announced
that Gov. Hastings was unable to be pres
ent owing to press of official business.
The chaplain-in-chef. Rev. Charles l..
Shergur of Cation. n. Y. followed with an
impressive prayer, after which Mayor Man
sci, on behalf of the city. made an address
of welcome. Mr. Emerson Collins was then
introduced by the commander and gave the
veterans an eloquent address of welcome on
behalf Of the citizens generally.
Commander Blakeley responded.
Corp. James Tanner paid a glowing trib-
ute to Mr. Collins oratorical ability.
George w. Skinner of Pittsburg made a
speech. and he was followed by Maj. En-
met Crell OF the lst District of Columbia
Volunteers, who was at Santiago, and had
just returned with his command. He is on
waiting orders and said he was willing to
obey orders and go wherever sent by the
government
At the conclusion of the public meeting
the enCamDment went into a short eNecu-
tive session. during which committees We're
appointed OOl u. L. Boyer OF Bnlladel-
pLia was made chairman of the committee
on resolutions. The committee appointed
at the last national encampment to ascer-
tain the cost Of 4 per diem pension bill
presented a comprehensive report made up
largely from statistics furnished by Pension
Commissioner Evans. The report was
adopted
Commander Blakeley presented his an
nual review of the work of the year. He
recommo nded that the national officers be
elected for two years instead of one. There
were 4l9 suspensions during the year and
Isl deaths.
In the afternoon the old veterans paraded
the streets to the strains Of martial music
and amid cheers from the throats OF thous-
ands who lined The streets over which the
veterans passed.
One Of the most inspiriting scenes was the
presence of the public school children, who
were assembled al convenient points along
the line waving national flags and singing
patriotic airs. II seemed to gladden. the
hearts of the old soldiers and quickened
their steps many barring their heads to the
little ones as they passed
The procession was made up of four d-
visions, headed by Chief Marshal Foresman
and aids and national officers. Then came
the Pittsburg and Washington encamps
ments.

DELAY IS DEADLY,
Our Troops in Porto Rico Kept in
Unhealthy CAMPS.

The delay of the military commissioners
in Porto Rico in arranging for the evacu-
alton Of the island is deprecated by the
medical officers here, because of the dan
ger to which 1t exposes the United States
troops on the island. After the lapse of a
month from the appointment of the COM
mission nothing has been accomplished
beyond the exchange Of a few formal
courtesies.
1t has been represented to the President
by General Miles that the cause of the
sickness of the American troops was &c be
found in this delay. 1t appears that under
the truce now existing, according TO Mil
tary law. neither side Is authorized to
either advance or withdraw troops. Conse-
quently the American troops are obliged to
maintain the positions they occupied when
the news Of the signing of the protocol
reached them. Those positions, while well
adapted for fighting. were unhealthy and
were not tit for permanent camps. The
troops were lying around in the grass and
out i'll low country. where they might be
brought into the towns and comfortably
housed and cared for IL the evacuation COM
missioners forced the Spaniards to an is
sCe, as they should do. The conditions in
this respect are not SO bad in Cuba where
the only American troops are rs we'll set
tied In. the neighborhood of Santiago and
in the town itself as they could be.

specisl Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HAVANA. Cuba. September TO- 1898.
The Mascotte arrived from Key West at
5:45 this morning with her second lot of
Cuban refugees. a few newspapers and two
sacks Of United States mail. We have had
no letters from home since our arrival here
and are getting wild for news We did get.
however, some papers Of the 9TH and find
from the Presidents proclamation and 9TH
er items that the case of the Comal is at
tracing some attention, though the prob
lem as to the disposition of the stores is
still unsolved We received orders Thurs
day: The duties cannot be paid await the
coming of the commission and see If Cen
eral Wade cannot do something in the mat
ter; if not, report to Washington and await
orders" There seems to be d big difference
of opinion at Washington as to what should
or can be done, but to US there seems but
one thing possible-to await the arrival of
American troops. and then, in accordance
with the recent proclamation, to distribute
our cargo-or what there is left of 1t after
some weeks of this tropical heat. The Gu
ban cabinet Will not recede from its posi-
ton now. and the government at Washing
ton has no appropriation which could be
used for such purpose as paying duty
The act of relief did not provide for that
contingency
An hour after the Mascotte the Kesolute
appeared and steamed INTO the harbor- and
our officers are now aboard of i;er. This
will have to be mailed before their return,
however, SO there is news to relate
There was absolutely no demonstration
on her arrival, except Il display OF bunting
by the American schOOnerS in the harbOr.
1t is stated by friends on shore that the
sIbans had been preparing a demonstra-
tlOn of welcome on the quiet but tina /
Blanco. discovering the fact rearmed all
regulars, volunteers and police, and effec-
tually Squelched any such welcome This
action was partly the result of the cheer
ing our officers met on the train last Sun
day.
There is also a great deal of talk of a
Society OF the Knife" This is asserted to
be d society formed by the Spaniards here
to massacre at a given time all the CubanS
and Americans they can lay hands on.
What IL really is no one knows except the
secret service men There is something in
IT, for two weeks ago Blanco hailed before
him a number of Spanish merchants and
others and warned them that if any trou-
bic occurred they would be held responsible
for 1t.
There are a number of paroled newspaper
men here eagerly awaiting the time when
they cable mail news again. There
is trouble among them just now, for two OF
the New York men have broken their
paroles and sent stories by outgoing boats
The other correspondents, having received
kicks from their papers held an indigna-
tiOn meeting and then threatened to report
the two to the censor and have them de-
ported The rpso then played what they
thought a sharp trick and reported the
Other fellows, but on investigation tbs
facts were cleared up. and the two given a

MR.. DINGLEY'S ANALYSIS.
Republican Plurality I'm Maine 20
Per Cent Above ANernge There.

From the Philadelphia Press today:
LEWISTOWN, Me-, September II.
To the Editor OF The Press
The nearly full returns of the vote in
Maine Monday for governor show that only
$1,000 votes were cast against 123,5tD IN
1896 and 107, 900 in 1894. and that the re-
publicans have 5000 plurality and 22,0t
majority. against $4,000 plurality and BOSS
majority in 1894
The reduction Of the plurality in larger
proportion than that of the majority is due
to the fact that nearly all the populists who
voted for separate gubernatoral candi-
date in 1894 and 1896 this year went over to
the democrats, thus nearly maintaining the
democratic vote of 1884 when otherwise il
would have fallen off Il per cent.
While the republican plurality and ma
jority this year has fallen off from 1894 and
1896. when it was abnormally swelled and
the democratic vote exceptionally small.
yet our plurality now is 40 per cent larger
than the average republican plurality from
1882 to 1882, twice what il was in the pres
identiai year of 1892 and much larger than
it ever was except in the years 1894 and
1886.
The small vote this year is due to the
fact that il is an off year, when no one is
assailing the President and many thought
it unnecessary to duplicate votes in order
to support him.
So general was this feeling that no speak
ING campaign was llIuuStu III, lHt re-
suit is that the vote is light and the plu-
rality, although unusually large for the
vote cast, appears reduced in comparison
with the abnormal majorties of 1894 and
1886.
The republicans of Maine are earnest sup
porters of President Mckinley and the re-
publican policy, which has proved such a
success: and whenever either is assailed
they roll up a vote and give majorities
which will surpass even the exceptional re-
suits of 1894 and 1896
Indeed SO far as actual results are con-
cerned, it would be impossible to surpass
those of this year. inasmuch as We have
elected a republican governor and all four
republican representatives by from 5000 to
1000 plurality each: county officers in every
county; every state senator. and 133 out of
the Isl members of the house of represent
atves. and this Legislature will in January
re-elect a republican United States senator.
