KEY WEST. Fla, April 30, 1898 40
A. M)-Incoming boats say that the fir
ing by the flagship New York last night
was on Cabanas, a small port about ten
miles west of Marfel. The torpedo boats
Porter and Ericsson were scouting close
to the coast when a small battery opened
fire on them with rapid-fire guns. The
torpedo boats quickly withdrew and noti-
fed the flagship, which was cruising
slowly in westerly direction. The New
York promptly returned the fire, sending
in, it is said here about twelve shots
from her six and eight inch guns. The
batteries ashore made no response. The
firing was by no means in the nature of
a bombardment

PARIS IN PORT.
The Great Liner Runs the
Gauntlet Of Spanish Imag-
ination in Safety.

NEW YORK, April 80, 1S9S.-The Ameri-
can line steamer Paris arrived this morn
ing from Southampton after a rough win
ter passage of days II hours and IS
minutes, with 8 saloon, AZ second cabin
and 9S steerage passengers. The Paris
left Southampton at 2:e5 P. NJ, passing
Hurst Castle at 1885 P. A., and the Lizard
at 1l:47 at night After clearing the
land, Captain Watkins shaped his course
5Gf north and after a run Of thirty
mills headed for home keeping distance
of about thirty miles from the usual
course in previous trips. Captain Wat
kins had no fear that Spanish war yes
sci would catch the fleet Paris after she
got sea room but it was thought possible
that some craft of the enemy might be
lurking in the vicinity of the channel or
the neighborhood of the Irish coast to
waylay the American craft.
At night every light on board of the
Paris was extinguished and headlights
were covered. Strict watch was main
tanned to detect the APPROACH Of vessels.
Leaving the Lizard with the wind south
east, the nm E., very light, the weather
became overcast and a long westerly
swell prevailed This condition of wealth
er continued until the wind became wes-
terly, and commencing 23d, increased to a
gale. Rough seas with fog rain and
generally thick weather prevailed. On the
American coast met a heavy N. e. gale
with high head seas.

STATE BASEBALL LEAGUE.

Directors Will Convene at Winthrop
 House-Radical Changes Proposed
 An Eight Club League a Possibility.
 Meriden, Jan. 27.-The date of the an- nual meeting ofthe directors of the Con- necticut State Baseball league has been changed. It was to have been held in Derby, February 21, but circumstances make it necessary to hold the meeting at the Winthrop House February 3.
 At this meeting the plans of the con- ing season will be discussed. Jim Don- nelly of New Haven and Jack Rose of Bridgeport, Waterbury and several oth- CT places will be among those who will appear before the directors. A repre- sentative of baseball people in New Britain is also expected. Nothing has been heard from New London lately, but it is likely that an attempt will be made to get a team into the league.
 There is not the slightest doubt but that a six club league will be formed, and possibly an eight club one. Bridge port, Meriden and Waterbury remain of the old league. The Torrington fran chise is wanted and has practically been obtained by Donnelly of New Haven. The Bristol franchise is wanted and can be obtained by Jack Rose. who thinks that the hating town would be good location. These six towns are all good ones, and will be far better able to SUD- port a league than last year.

WALLINGFORD NEVIS.

The report of the polo game in Meri- den on Wednesday evening, printed in one of the Meriden papers, is deemed unjust to Maynard of the Wallingford whole affair state that Maynard jump ed in front of Warner and blocked him near the Wallingford cage. This so enraged Warner that he struck May hard a heavy blow in the neck with his fist, and in return Maynard struck Warner across the head with his polo stick. The referee promptly called a foul on each of the players and ordered both off the floor, which was all right; but later he allowed Warner to return and play out the game, while Maynard was not allowed the same privilege.
 The closing arguments in the H. F. Hall case were made yesterday morn ing by H. B. Newton for Hall and Judge Hubbard for the borough. Judge Prentice took the papers and stated that before deciding the case he should take a look at Valley street in ques- ton.
 Upon application of Judge Hubbard as counsel for F. A. Wallace, receiver of the Hall Manufacturing company, Judge Wheeler in the superior court will this morning appoint appraisers to ap- praise the property of that corporation. A daughter was born yesterday to MT. and Mrs. William McNulty of Lex ington avenue.
 Those who have sleighs are making the most of the sleighing, which is very fair.

AN UNFORTUNATE MISAPPRE-
 HENSON.

A story of Lord Russell of Kilowen, as told by himself the other day. shows how risky a thing it may be, after all, for prisoner to speak in his own defence. One such, who seemed to be really making out his innocence, the Lord Chief Justice, who had missed a mumbled word, interrupted with the question:: What did you say? what was you last sentence?" Three months. my Lord" said the crestfallen prisoner pleader. It is hardly necessary to add that the Lord Chief Justice forgot the admission, or remembered it only in the prisoners favor, when that parti- cular sentence had to be passed.--Lon- don Academy.
