The North Hudson Individual tourna-

four very interesting series of games. The
cracks of the tournament were drawn to-
gether and some spirited work was the
result of the rivalry betWeen them. The
opening brought together Jake Fuessel,
the star Of Hoboken, n j. Kennel, the
champion of North Hudson. There was a
lot of betting on This contest, and the
series ended in a victory for Kennel, to
the great surprise of FuessePs hackers.
The meeting between Coffman of this city
and Fuessel was another event that kept
the crowd excited. The local champion
rolld in great form and led his rival in
all three games. The match in the third
series between Kennel and George
Kurcken, the X-Spartan representative,
was a hot one. A week ago they engaged
in a match for $50, Kuncken winning. His
friends secured a lot of money. and the
North Hudson sports, expecting to get II
back, bet their pile on Kennel again. The'
result was once more against them,
Kuncken taking all but one game, In the
match with Klahre, a leader in the game
at Union Hill, Kuncken did not do so

have seen many Cubans of ability. Their
loyalty to Cuba and to the United States
is deeply engrained. They only fear the
death OF thousands of friends at every post
ronement of the taking of Havana. They
fear that property owners in Havana are
yet powerful enough to force Blanco to
surrender as soon as our landing shall be
secured and the fleet near.
They say that General Garcia is satisfied
with the garrisoning of Santiago and that
1t gives satisfaction to the Cubans generally.
They contradict the published falsehoods,
especially those inspired by the few Span
iards and their friends at Key West.
Seventy per cent of the Cubans proper
can read and write. They are worthy Of
American sympathy. and help. We must let
no a~yarice, prejudice or extensive Spanish
influence blind us to the actual facts. We
are hoping that Porto Rico will soon be in

SUDDEN CHANGE IN ORDERS
Kentucky REGIMENT Substituted for
Fifth Illinois at the
Last Moment.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 27.-The
order sending the Fifth Illinois to Newport
News was revoked today after the regiment
had marched five miles to Rossville and
had half loaded on trains standing there.
The trains were unloaded and the men,
highly disappointed, were marched back to
camp. The Third Kentucky was then or
dered out and loaded on the trains intended
for the Fifth Illinois. This regiment gets
away this afternoon. The One-Hundred and
SiXtieth Indiana has been ordered to take
the place of the Fifth Illinois in Grants
brigade and will leave tomorrow. The First
South Carolina was today ordered to pro-
coed at once to Jacksonville, Fla, to Join
General Lee. The Sixth Tennessee is or
dered from Knoxville to C~hiekamauga.
A more disguised lot of soldiers was
never seen than the Fifth Illinois regiment
when orders were received today to unload
and return to Chickamauga park. The COM
mand Lad been extremely anxious to get
TO the front. All kinds of unsavory charges
are being openly made against Colonel
oliver, the commanding officer, not only by
~privates but by subordinate officers. They
claim their regiment has been betrayed by
some one who represented to President
Mckinley that the regiment is not fit fol-
duty, and on these representations the
president relieved the ommand from going
to Porto Rico. The subordinate officers
claim that the is in excellent con-
dition and In splendid fighting trim.
AS soon as the full situation dawned or
the men today the greatest disorder pre-,
vailed and there was no semblance of dis,
cipline. Men left the ranks by dozens ant
scores and tonight nearly n hundred mem
bers OF the regiment left Tampa, most OF
them without leave, and came to the city
The morale is shattered and generally the
men declare they will not longer serve un.
der Culver. Efforts to restrain the men ar,
unavailing. One man broke his gun over q
tree and left the camp without leave. Thos,
in the city tonight are making things very
lively.
