10 keep the home boys from scoring two
runs in the first two innings, while DoWd
kept the visitors down to one.
At this stage Of the game heavy ram
stopped proceedings. For fifteen minutes
the downpour was incessant, and then it
ceased, but the grounds were so sloppy
and slippery that it was nearly an hour
before playing was resumed. Meanwhile
sawdust was literally distributed on the
diamond, and play was commenced
again.
From this time on until seven innings
had been ended, things came sorrowfully
for the home team. Hillebrand seemed
to have sized his men, and he was hit
sparingly and Intellectually, not run
being scored against his team, while
Princeton rolled up six tallies, the game
closing in their favor by a score of Z to
for Georgetown.
Princeton scored one run in the third
inning. In the fourth, with two men on
bases. Butler cracked the ball clear over
the embankment in right field, bringing
in his two comrades and scoring home
run for himself After this the visitors

BEFORE THE MESSAGE CAME.
Members of Foreign Relations COM
mittee Discuss the Situation.

mIttSe DISCUSS Ihe SITUATION.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions met informally yesterday and
discussed the general Cuban situation.
There was some Indignation expressed at
the intimation that the President might,
after all, not ask authority for immediate
intervention, but the general opinion of
the committee was that whether the
President asked it or not the resolution
TO be passed in response 10 his message
must provide for not only immediate but
armed Intervention.
1t was also developed in the course of
the discussion that so far as the knowl-
edge Of any member is concerned, there
has never been a demand on the part of
the Administration for the independence
of Cuba and that had Spain at any time
granted such independence it would have
been a grattutoGS act on her part. The
American people will be surprised to learn
that the thing they have so long insisted
upon has never been demanded and that
Spanish diplomats told the truth when
they said this Government had never
represented that ii wished a recognition
by Spain Of the independence of the ISL

has been INDUCED in recently and two or
three of the members this morning stated
il to be their belief that the United States
would never deal properly with
this subject until it brushed aside
the whole Cuban question, de
clared that Spain committed an
act of war when she blew up the Maine,
and proceeded to fight her on those
grounds Out of such situation the Gu
ban question would be settled in the right
way, as an incident. No nation could or
would interfere with the United States if
war were urged, because Of an attack on
the national honor or integrity; whereas
if il is put upon the Cuban question gen
orally, after a time other nations might
interfere to prevent the United States
from going too far. The committeeman
separated TO meet again at o'clock this
afternoon, at which time the message
viii be taken up for consideration.

IS SPAIN READY TO CRAwLp
Diplomats Profess to Believe Hostiii-
ties VIII he Avcrted.

The diplomats of the world especially
those in the French, German and Aus
trian legations, profess TO believe that
Spain's offer of an armistice is calculated
TO avert hostilities.
They suggest that this armistice is more
than the suspension of hostilities against
the insurgents; that it forecasts instruc-
tions to Banco to positively submit to
American Intervention, which may then
take place without resistance and by de-
fault
There would be no general hostilities.
President Mckinley, on this theory, will
be instructed TO intervene in Cuba to re-
store stable government. Unless Spain
should resist, the United States, 1t is held,
would not be justified in extending its
military and naval operations beyond
Cuba. 1t is even rumored in the same
circles that the powers of Europe have
been assured that the United States will
confine itself strictly to the lines laid
down. This is the program these diplo-
mats have prepared:
First will come the naval demonstration
before Havana within fOrty-eight hours
OF action by Congress. If Gen. Blanco
capitulateS. even after there has been
batteries to the east and west of MORO,
1t will not be necessary to send an army
of occupation. That viii follow only if
Blanco persists in his attempt to prevent
q landing.
But so long as resistance is confined to
Cuba, offensive operations, it is claimed,
will be directed there exclusively. The
flying squadron will be sent to Porto Rico
to guard against surprise from a Span
ish hotilla, and may have to hold San
Juan as a safeguard and base of opera
tions, but It Is not the purpose of the Ad-
ministration TO overthrow Spanish rule
in that island.
Whatever the course of events in Cuba
in connection with Intervention, ii is held
by these optimists that a general war
with Spain may yet be averted, and it Is
on this line that President Mckinley, they
say, is shaping his policy. While every
nrecaution is being made for war, they
explain, it is still his hope TO confine the
difficulty within the stict lines of Cuban
intervention.
This picturesque view is laughed at in

the victory should be Georgetown's.

At THE BENNING TRACK
Opening Day of the Spring Meet
ing of the Jockey Club.
A GOOD CROWD WAS PRESENT
The Threatening Weather Caused
Many to Stay Away and There Was
Not Much Enthasiasm, But With
Bright skies Today a Large Crowd
Will be on Hand.

The threatening weather yesterday had
the effect Of keeping a goodly number OF
the patrons Of racing away from the
Benning track on the opening day of the
Spring meeting Of the Washington Jockey
Club. Still. good-sized crowd was in
the grand stand and on the grounds when
the thoroughbreds went TO the post in
the opening event. but there appeared to
be something lacking. There We're no
coach parties, not many gayly attired la
dies, and there seemed to be drag 10
the whole affair.
The only persons who appeared TO take
things as they came We're the regulars
They were on hard to a man. They
went about just the same as if racing
had been going on day after day. They
took their drinks asked everyone they
knew what they knew, went back to the
paddock to size up the straters, returned
TO the ring, made their wagers, and then
went up in the stand or down to the
fence and waited for the race to come
off.
A great many said that the reason there
was not more enthusiasm was because
the weather was depressing. Maybe il
was There was not a ray OF sunshine
TO set of the landscape around, and every
now and then a little shower would come
and there would be a rush to save the
Spring suit or dress
But the management Of the track had
done everything TO make the opening
pleasant. The stand was as neat as ever,
The walks We're clean. and the fences
were as white as snow The races were
as good as could be expected and only
the bright sunshine was needed TO I'LL the
grandstand 10 overfowing.
The first event Of the day was SIX

wards. Eleven horses started and at the
finish Summer Sea was first. Handpress
