You hear a good deal about the war on

FREEDMAN WAS INSULTED.
New Yorks Would Not Play Against
Baltimore Hoodlums.

New York, July 25.-New York for
feited the game to the Baltimores, af-
ter half of tn efourth inning had been
played. The score was l to 2. Holmes,
when at bat in Baltimore'S inning,
struck out. A. fan in the grand stand
yelled, "Oh ducky, you're a lobster.
We'll, I'm glad I'm not working for
a Sheeny any more" replied Holmes.
Umpire Lynch turned around and said
something to Holmes, who went to the
bench.
President Freedman, who was sitting
in the grand stand. sent a representa-
tive down with a request that Manager
Hanlon take Holmes out of the game.
Hanlon referred Freedman's represent
alive to the umpire, who said he had
not heard the remark, and refused to
take Holmes out of the left field. Mr..
Freedman then came on the grounds
and asked for the expulsion of the
player, and, on being refused, told
Joyce not to play ball. Lynch then
gave the game to the Baltimores-9 to
0. The spectators, about 5000, received
their money back. President Freedman
stated afterwards that he would pro-
test the game, and that he would re-
port Holmes to the board of directors
He also said that he had been trying
for gentlemanly ball playing, and they
would get it on the New York grounds
at any cost.

London, July 25.-It is announced in
special dispatch from Madrid. pub
lished here this afternoon. that the
Spanish government has drawn up a
message, addressed to the government
at Washington. proposing an armistice
for the purpose of discussing the terms
upon which peace with the United
States can be arranged.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Standard saws: There is still an en-
deavor to keep alive the impression
that something is going on behind the
scenes in the direction of peace. but
the prevalent idea is that the war will
continue until the fall of Manila and
the invasion of Porto Rico. Peace is
impossible until there is more unanimi-
ty in Spain with regard to the neces-
sary sacrifices of territory. The minis
tiers having arrived at an understand
ing, will await the march of events. A
cabinet crisis has been averted for the
time being.
Those who succeed the present cabi-
net will be obliged, ere long, to ask
the country to submit to terms pro
foundry repugnant 10 the national
pride. The prospect of Intermediary
cabinets is marred by the loyal and
correct attitude of General Polavieja,
of politicians TO create a third party.
QUEEN WANTS PEACE.
Madrid, July 24.-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has had
an interesting conversation with a per-
son occupying a high position in the
queen regents household, and whose
duties bring him daily into intimate re-
lations with her majesty. He said the
quarrel between Spain and the United
States is much easier of adjustment
than is generally believed The queen
regent, he continued, naturally endeav-
ored to avoid war and also she desired
an honorable ending of it. She is quite
alive to the force of public opinion, and
holds strictly to the constitutional laws
of the nation. 1t is an error to suppose
the queen regent is under the pressure
of the present or any government, or
that she is regardless of public opin
ion, when it is in consonance of the
true interest of the Spanish people.
The official then added an important
statement, saying: THE present gov
eminent viii not initiate peace. but a
cabinet, headed by Senior Ga
mazo, minister of public instruction,
will conclude the negotiations and then
retire, and General Polavieja, with a
including Senior Silvela /
and General CampOs. will reorganize |
the country"
Everybody thinks that Spain should |
treat direct with the Americans, whose
practical good sense will prevail over

TRIBUTE TO NEGRO SOLDIERS
Military School For Training Col
ored officers Is Asked For.

Boston, July 25.-The Twelfth Bap-
tist church last night adopted the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That the president be re-
quested to institute a free military
school in which to educate colored SOL
diers for the duties OF commissioned
officers, which was, on March u, 1854,
done for white soldiers. who were APP
pointed to lead colored troops. and the
men chosen for this responsible office
be taken from those who have won
distinction on the. battlefield.
Resolved, That the people assem-
bled recognize with gratitude the cour-
age and soldierly qualities of the
blacks now in Cuba, who made the
victory OF Santiago a possibility. AS
the climate of Cuba, a menace to the
white soldier, is adapted to promote
the highest development Of the black
Antilles become to America what ii has
never been to Spain-the home of a
thrifty and happy people.
Resolved, That it is our belief that
the black man has been educated and
trained to fulfill an important mission,
not only for Cuba, but for the Spanish
possessions that are to come Under our
control. The Cuban, for whom we went
to war with Spain, when asked to do
mental work, declined, claiming that
he was a soldier and not Il working
man. The negro, faithful to his master
before emancipation came. and as a
in helping us to build our
forts and do work essential to the sue
cess of the army. was a soldier as
faithful in buTden-be as he was
brave in battle, and now occupies the
proud position he holds in the eyes of
the world because Christ's rule obtains
control and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted !"

FIRED ON AUSTRIAN WARSHIP
BATTLESHIP IOWA MADE a
SLIGHT MISTAKE.
Her Flag Closely Resembles the
Spanish and the Captain Grace
fully Accepts the Apology.

New York, July pa dispatch to the
World from Kingston, Jamaica, says:
Austria will remain neutral; EN-
peror Frances Joseph has said it, and
he never breaks his word
This was the only comment that the
captain of the Austrian warship Marie
Theresa would make on the Spanish
American war.
Recent experiences of the Marie The
resa have not been calculated to cause
her captain and crew TO feel kindly to-
ward the United States. After being
dined and feted in Havana. they arriv-
ed off Santiago harbor to be shot at
by the American battleship Iowa,
simply because, as the American OIL
Ger explained, the Austrian flag looked
a good deal like the Spanish.
The Marie Theresa came into Port
Royal harbor Saturday morning. In
the cabin of the big white warship
Captain Won Ripper talked freely about
the American battleship while making
a target of his vessel.
Every one in the American fleet
from commodore down, was so polite
and apologize, he said, that ] now
have a higher regard for the men of
the American navy than ever before.
We did not design the Austrian flag,
and we cannot help it's resemblance to
the Spanish flag. But. never mind, it's
all over. My only regret is that the
rules of the Austrian navy would not
permit my leaving my ship, as l want
cd to call on Commodore Schley my
self. But 1 could not do it. so l had to
send an officer.
Il cannot tell you about the condition
of Havana. l cannot give one side in
formation of the other All l can do is
to call attention to the words of my be-
loved emperor. Austria will be neu-
trail Any American fears that Aus
tria will help Spain are groundless."

ing for the sick and wounded. The
American dead had been buried. but
the trenches were full of dead Span
iards. whose bodies fioated on the sur
face of water caused by the rains,
and filed the air with sickening
odor.
She cites instances of Spanish bar
barity, and says that in several in
stances men were shot dead as they lay
in Red Cross filters, on the way TO
hospitals. The firing went on so I'M
ceasingly that the surgeons operated
by moonlight. They were afraid TO
light candles or lanterns. as Spanish
sharp-shooters would have picked them
off. Commissions authorizing this das-
tardly work, she writes. We're found on
the bodies of some of the guerillas.
The letter speaks of the high estima
ton the soldiers have of General Wood
and Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt,
who, they, say. always have a good
word TO say to them. The soldiers also
pay tribute to the bravery of the col
ored troops. but complain because the
Cubans. familiar with the Spaniards'
tactics. did not prevent the Spanish
bushwhacking.

Guerillas-American Good Shots.

Washington. July 25.-From Santiago.
under date of July s. Mrs. John Addi-
son Porter, wife of the secretary TO the
president, and now with Miss Clara
Barton in Cuban relief work, has writ
ten a personal letter describing condi-
tions there. 1t was written a week
after the battles of Ell Caney and San
Juan.
The Red Cross was then aiding in the
care of the wounded and feeding the
thousands of refugees from Santiago.
The Spanish wounded captives express
ed great gratitude that they were given
the same attention that Americans re-
ceived. One surgeon who dressed the
wounds of 200 American and Spanish
soldiers told Mrs. Porter that nearly
all the Spaniards were hit two or three
times, while. as rule. the Americans
received a single wound. indicating the
difference of craftsmanship.
At this time everybody was busy car
