BUILDINGS In PUERTO RICO
Some Fine structures That WIN Come
Into Possession Of the
tInited States.


When the Spanish, troops evacuate
Puerto Rico the United States will
come into possession Of large number
of commodities Sbiiildings in San Juan
which are now used as Offices by the
various royal, provincial and munici-
pal officials. Some of these are pre-
/ tentious in the extreme, and all OF
them are exceptionally well built.
Among tie structures used by the Off
cials of the Spanish government the
palace of the captain general is easily
the most beautiful. Like most of the
buildings in the city, 1t is constructed
Of brick, coated on the outside with
cement, and tinted rich cream color.
1t stands near the sea, at the head of
narrow street, on hill just south of
Moro castle. The offices of Capt. Gen.
Macais and his secretaries occupy the
lower floor, and the upper floors are
used as living apartments by the COM
mander and his staff.
Fronting the Plaza Alfonso Doce on
the west is the Intendencia, and on the
north is the Alcaldea. The former is
the treasury of the province, and the
latter corresponds to the municipal
buildings in an American city. Both
are handsome structures.
In the Marina, or shore district, are
two public buildings Of more than
usual interest. One of these is the
Preside, where prisoners who have
been convicted of major offenses are
confined. The other is the arsenal,
which, as the name implies, is re-
pository for arms and ammunition for
naval vessels. 1t is also the headquar-
ters for the commander of the naval
station.
Of the Notifications, Moro castle is
perhaps the best known, especially
since the bombardment of May IL. Be
sides the Moro there are two other
forts, or, as they are called, castles,
which add greatly to the strength of
the city's defenses. The more i'm
portant of these is the castle of San
Cristobal, which is within the city
gates, and about a half mile east of
Moro. 1t is a massive structure, oc-
cupying the crest of high hill, and it
is used as the headquarters of regi-
ment of artillery. The fort of San
Geronimo is the easternmost of the
city's Notifications. 1t stands be-
tween the Atlantic ocean and an inlet.
Back on the hill near MORO is the
insane asylum, long structure which,
while it is not an important addition TO
the city's architecture, is most use
full and well-equipped building.
While the cathedral will not become
government property, it is such an in
teresting building that it is well
worthy of reproduction. 1t is one of
the oldest structures in the city, and
its interior decorations, especially the
Providencia, or Shrine of the Virgin,
are superb.
The Curatel os the Guardia Civile Is
q small though interesting structure
where the gardes civiles make their
headquarters.-N. Y. Tribune

u. =. Court Notes.

Slow progress is being made on
the fraudulent warrant case which
has been on trial for the past two
days. There have been only few
witnesses examined up to the pres
ent time and thecase may consume
the rest of the week. Until some
disposition is made in this case,
there does not seem to be any,
thing else inthe court that would
interest our readers if reported.
There are many spectators in the
court room all the time watching
the proceedings in the case and
listening to the evidence with
much interest. Sayings.

Quite an exciting time was wit
messed last Monday at Braggs, l.
t., when two men, one white
man by the name of Levi Rogers,
and the other a negro by the name
of Sanders, had quarrel over a
gambling game and both secured
Winchesters and began shooting
at one another, exchanging some
ten shots each across a vacant
space Of about forty feet. None
of the shots. however, took effect,
and the men, tits reported, will
be arrested and taken before the
grand Jury.

TABLES TURNED.
The Mfllers Narrowly Escaped a
Shut-Out.

The Millers Narrowly Escaped a
Shut-Out.
It looked like shut-out for the Millers
yesterday, but they pulled themselves to-
eether in time to get run in both the
eighth and ninth, with chance in the latter
to tie the score. 1t was pretty game with
the advantage slightly in favor Of the Brew
ers in point of playing. Rettger, the MIL
waukee twirler, used his curves and his
tered Wright, who made his first appear
ance at home, had trouble in locating the
plate, and in consequence of his experiments
eight Brewers were presented first base. He
had control however, at critical moments,
and fooled the Milwaukee aggregation with
an out curve the like of which has never
been seen in these parts.
The MillerS opened we'll, Letcher, the sec
ond man up, putting the leather over to the
left field fence for two bases, but as Campau
and Carey both few out toIthe far field
second, Reilly and Ball who each got to first
on four bad ones, died on bases. In the
third and fourth it was case Of one, two,
three with the Millers. Ritter got a little
hit In the fifth. but got no farther than Sec
Old, Ball having gone out before him,
Wright, who followed, going out from Rett-
made pretty stop of Wright's grounder and
recovered quickly. Carey, in the sixth, got q
long drive to deep center; but his energy
out in a row, Ritter, the last, bunting three
over the foul line. Rice opened the eighth
with safe one and the aspirations of the
fans rose with the ball. Letcher went out
from Daily at third to Stafford, and Cam
pau connected for a clean hit to center lust
back Of second base upon which Rice
scored. Carey also found the sphere but got
fielder's choice and Daily caught Campau at
second, retiring the side but with shut-out
saved.
The score now stood to 1, and when
Lally hammered the ball up against the left
field fence and went to second the fans saw
the needed runs in sight. Reilly then took
the stick and connected for a drive along
the left foul line and Lally went to third.
Ball sacrificed and Lally crossed the plate
Ritter tried hard to advance Reilly but went
out from short to first, and Wright put q
grounder in Stafford's hands, retiring the
Millers two runs short Of victory.
The two runs secured by the visitors in the
third were due to errors and two-base hit
by Weaver, and both were secured after two
men were out Rettger, first up, famed the
air. Nicol got safe hit to center field and
stole second. Nicol attempted to steal third
and Ball threw high to Reilly to catch him
allowing Nicol to hold the bag. Barnes flew
out to Letcher, and when Nicol started for
home and Ritter fumbled allowing a score.
DAILY walked and Weaver swatted the sphere
to the right field fence for two bases, and
DAILY scored. Stafford got fielder's choice
and Weaver was caught at third.
One of the pretty plays of the game was
that by which Waldron was caught at third
in the fourth inning. He was on first when
Leewe made a safe hit towards right field.

cock hit flies to Mcfarland and Deadly
respectively, and Mcfarland made d
grand stand catch on Geier's low rakiSh
drive to left.
Geier made nice catch on Kahoe and
Heine Spies took a hot tip off Hawley's
bat. Hogriever drove a liner through
Glasscocks corner of the lot, but Nc
Farland fouled a high one to the vet
eran first baseman.
Hawley'S first ball pitched hit Shu-
CART, and he ran to second on Gillen's
foul which 1t was only by fine run
ard catch that Hoffmaster took from
under the noses of the benched Apps
ties. Spies brought in Shugart with
st. Paul's first score when he drove
long one to right field. 1t was pretty
low for Hogriever, but he reached for
it, got it and then fell, dropping it. But
the next two hit Allen easy ones, and
the locals had barely saved the shut
cut.
Deadly opened the eighth with line
drive over short, and, although HoIf-
master famed and Motz gave Geier a
fly, Stewart and Allen both hit safe
ly with two out, and, with ASa's stolen
base, the HooSierS secured two more
runs Geier caught Kahoes fly, and it
was to /.
Hoffmaster threw out Miller, and
Stewart did like service for Glenalvin.
GlaSScOck was much VeXed at a strike
out.
Shugart threw Hawley out, and Ho-
griever, in trying to dodge a wide
pitched ball, hit it with his bat He
fell down. and it fell fair. He was
thrown out before he picked himself
up. Mcfarland narrowly escaped dis
aster on a long foul to the cycle track,
which Miller reached with one hand,
but could not hold. Mac followed it
with safe hit over second base. Cross
hit Deadly, but Hoffmaster hit to Gil
len, who stepped to the sack and cut
off Mcfarland.
The locals needed four to tie, with
but one inning to get them in. But
Geier's triple and Shugart's double
helped little, and Shugart got third
on Gillen's fly to Deadly. Even yet good
hit would have made matters critical,
but Spies could not get the ball back
of the pitcher. Still, the tumble by
Hawley helped some more, and had
Spies not tried to take desperate ad
vantage of Kahoes apparent vagary,
there would still have been but one
out, and Phyle's strike out, whether it
was just or not, would not have ended
