w. A. G. IN SECOND PLACE.
City PCstoiIice Team Was No Watch
for the Pcnnant Seekers.

In a very one-sided and only at times in
teresting game of league basketball
played at Globe Hall last night, the
Washington Athletic Club defeated the
City Postoffice team by the score of l9 to
g. One Of the interesting features of the
game was the goal throwing of Taylor
of the w. a. c.. who landed five of the
total goals from field. one of which was
a long cross-field overland toss. W.
Thompson came next with three goals
scoring the fifth, seventh and ninth
baskets.
Both teams played well, but the w. A
c. outpointed their opponents The win
ners are now in second place, closing up
on the CAROLS for first.
The w A. c. management is preparing
to challenge the Light Infantry team,
the champions of the District league, for
a game with five men under the national
rules.

The board of stewards of the California
Jockey Club has ruled off the turf Harry
Wise and AL. Gooding his trainer. for
running a ringer at the Oakland track
on May II, 1897. Harry Wise is the son of
the ex-cOllector of the port of San Fran
cisco, and is well known as a politician
and wool merchant. 1t was proven 10 the
satisfaction of the stewards that in five
furlong race for non-winners, the maiden
filly, Las Rosas, was entered by Wise.
but that the race was really run by Mary
Nance, an eastern horse, which had a
record Of several victories The horse
came in second, and having been largely
played for place, much money was won
by those aware of the trick Trainer
Gooding admitted the facts as stated but
asserted that Wise knew nothing of the
substitution. However, as Wise held
bills of sale for both horses and they were
trained on his place. near GfIroy, the
stewards felt justified in holding him
equally blameable with his subordinate.

Lieutenat Rowan is on his way to the
camp of General Calixto Garcia. He will
represent the war department in arrang-
ing for the cooperation of the insurgents
in the invasion Of eastern Cuba by the
forces of the United tSates. The time and
place of invasion will be controlled by
events and the character Of Lieutenant
Rowan's dispatches.
Lieutenant Rowan was detailed from the
bureau of information for this dangerous
service-dangerous, because in his civil
ian dress he is liable to be treated as a
spy. He speaks Spanish and knows Cuba,
having written book on the subject.
Moreover, he is an expert map maker.
Lieutenant Rowan left Washington un-
der instant orders on April 9th. He was di-
rected to wait here, prepared to go to
Porto Rico or to Cuba. AS he went to
eastern Cuba, 1t is inferred that blow will
be struck there before one is struck at
Porto Rico.
With him he took an official Spanish Sec
ton map of eastern Cuba, with indenta-
tions made at the war department by pho
tographers. The expectation is that Gen.
eral Calixto Garcia will dispose his forces
to cover landing Of United States troops
as prearranged.

Associated PreSS special wire
WASHINGTON, April 26.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote the British ambassador, today
received cablegram from the British for
eign office, signed by Lord Salisbury, an
nouncing that the queens proclamation Of
neutrality in the war between Spain and
the United States had been signed.
The dispatch adds that the proclamation
is similar to those issued on former occa-
sions, but in addition directs special atten-
ton to the three rules of the treaty Of
Washington of May s, 1871, article of
which will be observed toward both coun-
tries. The three rules to which Lord Sails
bury directs special attention are of excep.
tional moment just al present, owing to the
presence in British ports of several war
ships, including the Somers and Albany,
intended for the United States navy. The
three rules are as follows:
"A neutral government Is bound, first, 10
use diligence to prevent the fitting out,
arming or equipping within Its jurisdiction
of any vessel which it has reasonable
grounds to believe is intended to cruise or
carry on war with a power with which 1t
is at peace, and also to use like diligence
to prevent the departure from its jurisdic
ton of any vessel intended to cruise or
carry on war as above, such vessel having
been specially adapted, in whole or in part,
within such jurisdiction to warlike use.
Secondly, not to permit or to suffer
either belligerent to make use of its ports
or waters as the base Of naval operations
against the other or for the purpose of re-
newal or augmentation of military sup
plies or arms or the recruitment of men.
Thirdly, to exercise due diligence In Its
own ports and waters, and as to all
persons within its jurisdiction, to prevent
any violation Of the foregoing obligations
and duties.'
The second rule doubtless accounts for
the enforced departure Of the United
States fleet at Hongkong. The first rule
appears to apply directly to several ships
purchased by the United States abroad
and now hurrying to completion in Brit
ish yards. The most important of these
is the fine cruiser Albany, formerly the
Admiral Abrouall of the Brazilian navy.
From the strict rule adopted in stopping
the torpedo boat Somers and the mail
steamer Ireland, as reported in press dis
patches, it is believed the rule against the
departure of warships will be given very
rigid construction.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Cuban advices
to the Herald are to the effect that the
Cubans are forcing the fighting. The
Spanish fearing assaults by land and sea,
are hurrying their troops into the cities.
Insurgents have appeared in force within
thirty miles of Havana. There was a raid
by them just beyond Boca de Jaruco this
morning and the combatants must have
had full view of the blockading squad
ron.
When the dispatch boat bearing this
cable left Cuban waters the smoke from a
great fire set by the insurgents was rising
over the hills.

Pilots Provided
MIAMI, Fla, April 26.-Captain Charles
silva. who since the beginning of the Gu
han war has been employed by the junta
in plotting f1libustering expeditions to the
island, has been ordered by the navy de-
ma rtment to report for pilot duty to Ad-
miral Sampson.
It is known that Admiral Sampson has
with him three other Cuban pilots who
have been engaged in the work Of land
ing expeditions.
They are Juan Sentos, Ramon Herman
dez and the latter's brother, whose first
name no one seems to know. They were
all three placed at Admiral Simpsons ser.
vice by the junta a week ago. The en-
ployment of Silva suggests an early land
ing In Cuba. 1t is a matter of common
knowledge that Silva took the Dauntless

more risk in 1t than taking a ferryboat
from New York to Jersey City. Once
across an expedition that went along
would have the protection of a gunboat or
cruiser anyway.
'I do not think that Admiral Sampson
can do better than capture Matanzas, and
make that port his base Of operations. Ves-
