How the Clubs stand.

Richmond and Paterson played one of
the prettlest ball games of the season
at Broad-Street Park yesterday after
noon, the locals taking the victory in
the nintn inning by one run--the only one
made.
The contest was a pitchers battle
throughout. Chesbro was in for Rich
mond and Flaherty for Paterson. and
both pNched great ball. Neither was hit
with any frequency or any great enect,
and for eight innings neither siue scored.
The men on both teams seemed TO be on
their mettle and gave the twirlers excel
lent support.

trip from Cfenfuegos and when the

When the American consul heard what
was going on he too had hand in the

pass the blockade with an enemy on
board. He caused the agents to hold the
vessel for some time until an agreement
as to what should be done could be ar.

ST Pierre. Martinique, May &c. There
is great excitement here, caused by the
report that the Spanish CapeVerde squad
ron will return to these waters. The
men of war, IL is said, will meet Spanish
coal ships dispatched from Cadiz to Fort
de France The coal ships are expected
daily at that port. An unknown man
of-war was seen of ths island yesterday
afternoon steaming northeast at top
speed.
This continued refusal Of the govern
ment to permit the Spanish torpedo boat
destroyer Terror and the hospital snip
Alicante to coal in port from the British
collier Twickenhnm, W hich is here with
q cargo Of 1900 tons Of coal, Is greatly
pcrplexing the spanish representatives.
1t Is almost certain that the Terror ana
the Alicante will have to resort to the
dIfiicult and dangerous alternative Of
coaling at sea. Both ships are preparing
to leave port snon.
