RdSER1LL PROSPECTS.

The baseball magnates who have been taking
counsel together the last week concerning the
welfare Of the game in general and the means
of promoting their interest in particular 90 not
appear to have paid much attention to the ques-
ton which most closely concerns the public, ana
consequently themselves 1t Is to be hoped That
M the meeting which is expected TO be held
later in the winter they will give suitable con-
sderation TO the facts that the last season was
chiefly characterized by rank offences against
order and decency on the part or some man
ayers and many players, that the public being
constantly affronted by such proceedings, be-
came in no long time utterly disguised, that
the season largely for this reason was dismal
foilure and that next season will show similar
results If similar practices prevail. Regula-
tions were deliberately discussed year ago, and
finally promulgated, for the prevention OF these
abuses and play began with the expectation
that they would be enforced with reasonable
firmness. But before the first game In this city
was over II had been made evident that the
New-York club. at least. was under no sort OF
discipline, and the model then set was pretty
faithfully followed TO the end.
Possibly there Is n feeling among the men In
control of professional baseball that lnaSmuch
as this years rules md promises were broken
all to pieces it is just as well not to renew
them And so it is II these persons have no
real desire or intention TO restore former CON
ditions Of responsibility. But some Of them
are certainly rot so foolish as TO regard public
goodwill as matter OF small importance.
Doubtless the proposed elevation of the Brook
Ign team to a high standard through the ac-
quisition OF Baltmores best players would
stimulate interest hereabouts and be of general
advantage to the League But 1t would not be
enough to re-establish the game on the old
basis The respectable part of the baseball
loving public. without whose support the game
cannot flourish. Is exceedingly tired Of wrang
ling and turbulence and will not be satisfied
with anything less than complete abandon
ment of the bad habits which those who might
have cured them by stern measures have tolcr
atcd so long. Nobody cares particularly for
a mere formal proclamation OF repentance and
new policy. one "gentlemen's agreement" hav
ing so lately been made ridiculous by continual
violations Of its letter and spirit; but every
body who likes the game would be glad 10

HOSPITAL SHIP RELIEF.
Will be Ready to Put to Sea by the
First of Next Week.

WASHINGTON June 21.-Surgeon
General Sternberg of the army has re-
turned from New York, where he spent
several days in a thorough examination
of the hospital ship Relief, being fitted
out for the use of the army in the
West Indies. The final touches are be
ing put on the vessel. and General
Ssernberg reports that she will be ready
to leave for her destination. which, pre-
sumably, will be Santiago, the first of
next week.
The capacity of the vessel ordinarily
is for 300 beds. but this may be doubled.
The equipment of the vessel consists
CT a complete outfit for all kinds of sur
gical and other branches of work. which
must come under the supervision of the
hospital branch. One of the most de-
sirable features Of her equipment is an
making plant with a capacity of
about two tons per day. which, in ad-
dition to supplying the needs of the
ship, will be adequate also to supply
the field hospital in the vicinity of the
ship. There is also water distilling
plant and carbonating plant, the lat
ter installed with the money given by
one of the relief associations. The
capacity of the latter plant is more
than necessary for the vessel, and the
surplus Will be used for the hospitals
near by.
The navy ambulance shdp Solace is
now in Cuban waters, and this vessel,
with the Relief, will be used inter-
changeably so far as the occasion there
for may arise. Unlike the navy ship,
the Relief is distinctly hospital ship,

nations of Recruits.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-General
Miles has issued an order authorizing g
the recruiting officers, in the absence
of commissioned medical officers or
contract surgeons, to employ civilian
physicians to make examination of re-
cruits preceding enlistment required by
army regulations, at compensation Of
40 cents for each man examined.
In order that all parts of gun car
riages and guns assembled or mounted
in sea-coast fortificatiOns may be in
proper working order, General Miles
has directed that they shall be subject
to the inspection Of an officer of the
Ordnance Department both during the
process of erection and after compile
tion. Ordnance officers are under in
structions from the Chief of Ordnance
to take all measures necessary, includ-
ing if deemed desirable, the firing of
the piece. to give assurance of the per-
feet serviceab bility of armament before
it shall be turned over for use.

certain that Spain has no ground on
which to appeal to the Powers against
the effectiveness of our blockade"
The present headquarters of the
Spanish smugglers seem to be the town
of Batabano, directly across the ISL
and from Havana and north of the Isle
of Pines. The Navy Department, now
that the methods of the Spaniards III
utilizing the town have been exposed,
Will give the place some attention, and
it is possible that a proclamation will
be issued by the President blockading
it. AS soon as the campaign against
Santiago has been concluded, several
ships will be stationed off Batabano.
1t is not believed, however, that the
smuggling of supplies has reached the
extent indicated in the dispatches.
The Navy Department officials are
also disposed to accept with consider
able allowance the statement that the
entrance to Santiago harbor is not
blockaded by the Merrimac. No in
formation upon this point has been re-
ceived since Admiral Sampson official
" reported the complete success OF
Hobson's exploit, and until definite
word is received to the contrary, the
Department will believe that the Mer-
rimac absolutely corks up the bottle in
which Cervera has been trapped.
1t is believed at the Navy Depart
ment that Santiago will fall within a
few days. Plans for cooperation be-
tween our land forces and the Cubans
were made by Admiral Sampson and
General Garcia before the arrival of
General Skaters expedition, and the
only delay will be in landing and or
ganiZing the troops.

can better be settled by the party that
