Base Ball.

There is to be one more Sunday
game of base ball. at any rate. and
il is probable that the games will con-
tinue until the bad weather sets in.
The time of the year is now arriving
when the weather is uncertain, and
there will perhaps be very few new
games arranged for. However the
promoters of the game feel so much
encouraged over the outcome of this
years games, and there is such gener-
al satisfaction over the fact that the
big Sunday excursions and the con-
sequent drain of II onsy out of the city
every Sunday, have been stopped, that
it is prob able that unless there is some
radical action taken the games will be
continued with the opening of next

CAPITAL TRACTION ROAD.

Electric Cars to Run to the Navy
Yard Between 10th and 18th Inst.
Such progress has been made in equipping
the new power house Of the Capital Tfac-
tion Company that the engines are in place
and ready for Use and the boilers are in an
equally forward state, so much so that the
fires have been started to dry the boilers
out
The pipes connecting the engines and
boilers are not in place, for the reason that
there has been an unexpected delay in their
delivery n this city. Only portion Of the
needed quantity has been received thus far,
and 1t Is expected, on account of the failure
of the contractors to deliver the pipe at the
time agreed upon, that the operation Of the
road by a current from the new power
house will be postponed to later date in
the present month than has heretofore been
anticipated by the officials of the COM
pany. 1t is believed, however. that the
work will be completed some time between
the 10th and 18th instants, and then the
entire system controlled by the company
will be run by electricity produced at the
power house Of the company.
At present the entire road Is operated by
the new motive power, with the exception
of the section extending from the west
front Of the Capitol to the navy yard. II
1t was possible to lease sufficient current
electric cars would also take the place of
horse cars that part of the line AS 1t
Is, the officials of the road, as well as those
who are familiar with electrical matters,
express surprise that any company could
used to run the cars on the Capital Trac-
tion lines, a.. 1t represents to q large ex-
tent the surplus power, and that. too, for
merely temporary service. The Potomac
Electric Power Company. however, is per-
forming that service. it is said. In a very
satisfactory manner.

FUNDS FOR THE NAVY

HAVANA, April 1.-Captain General
Blanco. last night called the colonels of the
volunteer regiments to the palace ard con-
suited with them. He impressed upon the
officers the necessity for greater union
than ever in these troubled times" and
recommended that the highest discipline be
maintained and that more patriotism be
shown. 1t is said that the captain gen
erals views were agreed to with enthu-
sissm, and that the officers pledged to
Spain their; '.lives, fortunes and sacred
honor" after which they suggested that
the captain general should notify the mer-
chants and others Of his desire that they
should allow their clerks and other en-
ployes to join the volunteers
Rumors of War.
1t was reported last night that the other
military commanders had been called in
council by the captain general. This how
ever, was positively denied at the palace,
but the rumor spread to, such an extent
that it grew into the statement that war
had been declared, which naturally added
to the feeling manifested among the
crowds in Central Park. where the band
played. The excitement was soon allayed
by men of Prominence, who assured ell in
qufrers that war had not been declared. In
spite OF the excitement caused by the
alarming report there was no violence re-
ported, and the police were able to main
tain order without difficulty.
The Union Constitutional says editorially
this morning: 1.-The necessity for concen-
tration having disappeared, Captain Gen
eral Blancos decree properly does away
with it. 1t says the government will pro-
vide for the recoEcentrados in a proper
manner, and the lying charity of the United
States is not reedeG."
The Diaro de la Marina lauds the captain
generals decree, saying: THE government
shows q disposition to relieve the suffer-
iugs caused by the war; but it must work
patiently ard long, owing to the fact that
the war itself causes more difficulties, and
time is required to give strength to the
relief measures"
