Thinks the Time is Not Ripe Ye4
fcrEEeace.

MADRID, July 10.-2 D. m.--Marshal
Martinez Campos in the course of an
interview at San Sebastian said ii was
impossible that negotiations for peace
should be entered upon by the Spanish
and American Governments, for the
reason that the time was not yet ripe.
He had always advocated reforms for
Cuba since 1863 but not autonomy. He
fully recognized that autonomy had not
included the expected results, partly in
consequence Of the island war and part
ly because it had been granted too
late. In 1896, he said, the late Senor
Canovas, who was Premier, had pro-
posed to him TO introduce autonomy,
bue he (Campos) declined to do so, con-
sidering the time unfavorable.
Campos denied a remark attributed to
him that he was less concerned at
the loss Of Admiral Cervera's squadron
than at the position of the Queen Re
gent.
Il believe" he declared, That Spain
and the monarchy are intimately con-
nected, but / am first of all a Span
lard. My affection for the Queen Re-
gent is great, but my affection for my
country is greater"
The 'ImparciaT' says the Carlists are
a great source of anxiety to the Gov
eminent. 1t AYERS that an aide de camp
of General MaXimo Gomez has asserted
that there will be a new insurrection in

that opposite the left wing of the Amer

PORTSMOUTH On. H.), July 10
The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis with
TAG Spanish prisoners, including 81 Off
GERS, arrived in Portsmouth harbor at
$50 O'Clock this morning and a few
minutes later dropped anchor just
above Fishing Island. The big liner left
Guantanamo at 8 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, July 9th, and did not make a
stop until she dropped anchor in Ports
mouth harbor. Including the prison
ers there were 1 ,O36 people on board the
beat, and out of this number there
are 81 sick and wounded Spaniards
under the care of surgeons. Admiral
Cervera is confined to his cabin, hav-
ing been quite i'll for the past three
Gays, although he was able to be
dressed this morning. Captain Eulate,
who was commander of the Vizcaya
and is among the prisoners. is also
quite i'll, having been wounded in the
head during the battle off Santiago.
At 9:15 this morning the tug A. w.
Chesterton went alongside the St Louis
with Health. Officer F. s. Towle, who
went on board, He made thorough
examination of the vessel, visited all
Of the sick and found that most Of the
sickness was due to wounds received
during the battle, or from exposure He
says there is no evidence Of yellow
fever or other contagious diseases and

ANNAPOLIS (Md), July 10.-Cap-
tain p. r. Cooper, superintendent of
the Naval Academy, has completed his
preparations for the care of the eighty
Spanish officers, including Admiral Ger
vera. Just how much liberty will be
accorded them while here has not been
definitely settled, but the disposition
of the authorities is to treat them with
all possible leniency, and to make their
enforced stay in Annapolis as pleasant
as is possible under the circumstances.
1t is probable that all win be put on
parole and allowed the fullest use of
the beautiful grounds for promenade
and other purposes.
The buildings TO be occupied by them
are known as Goldborough Row, con-
sisting of nine buildings These quar-
ters are used by the cadets and bach
elor officers and professors when the
academy is in session. Each room will
quarter two officers, and each officer
will have a bed to himself. Walters
will attend to the rooms and take care
of the apartments. In the bachelors
apartments there will be especial ac-
commodation for the officers of high
est ranks.
The rooms overlook the parade
grounds, and from the porticos that
front on them the superintendent
house, the work of preparation for the
new armory, the harbor of Annapolis.
and the broad stretch Of the majestic
Chesapeake can be seen.
1t is a singular coincidence that the
Spanish officers should be quartered
in the very alma mater of the Admiral
who gave them so signal a defeat and
made them prisoners. Among those
who recently occupied the quarters are
Lieutenants HobSon and Blue, and
Cadets Powell and Hart.

The intercollegiate base ball season
was opened yesterday by the teams of
st. Thomas college defeating the boys
from Hamline university by score of
8 to in well-fought game. Charlie
Delaney, for St. Thomas, was very eff
fective from the beginning, pitching a
strong game and keeping his head in
an admirable manner. Doyle, the ST.
Thomas catcher, caught fine game
after the first inning.
Hamline's pitcher, Drill, throws a de-
ceptive ball, but found trouble in To-
eating the plate and gave way to Tuck
er, the southpaw, in the sixth
The score would have been higher in
favor of st. Thomas were it not for
their base running. At every other
point they clearly outplayed their OPP
ponents, both at bat and in the field.
Dyer, for Hamline, played an excel
lent game at center, taking every
chance offered. Griffin, at third, and
Mitchell, at short, played clean, snap
Ply game.
The poor base running can be ex-
cuSed owing to the fact that the large
crowd Of enthusiastic collegians made
it impossible to coach on account of
their horns, etc.
The game started we'll for the Ham
line boys. The first two men at bat
!,
Dyer and Geo. Drill, crossed the plate
Doyle scored for the Saints and the
score was to 1. Dyer struck out in
the second inning and Dunn and Mer-
rift were put out at first
In the last part of tine second the
Saints made four runs by McCardy's
act and by a couple Of costly errors.
Johnson was the only Hamline boy
who reached first in the third inning.
Doyle made one more run for the
Saints. Both sides failed to score In
the fourth inning.
Griffin and Cameron made two bag
gers in succession. They were brought
in by Delaney and Doyle, who made a
couple of singles. In the sixth, seventh
and eighth neither side scored, but in
the forepart of the ninth Dunn, reach
ing first on an error, was brought in
by Merritt's three-bagger. Dyer scored
on a hit and it looked as if Hamline
was going to win out in the last inning
But Delaney smiled and settling down
to business permitted no more runs.
