hustle Of American industry. The place
itself is a struggling collection of houses
| scattered along the base of the Sugar Loaf
| mountain, which shoulders itself abruptly
out Of the water just at this point. Along
the shore in either direction as far as you
| can see are other mountains of the same
range. They look much like the Green
mountains of Vermont, being of about the
same height. They arc yerdant clad, too,
| sven to the very highest peaks.
1t is these mountains, over which our
| troops have marched and fought, that will
mako the fame and fortune of Baiquiri in
years to come. They arc mighty valuable
property, those mountains. Instead of
being built up of granite and trap rock,
as arc the mountains of Vermont, they
arc mountains of ore. Iron, copper and
other metals enter into their composition
in large quantities
Several years ago these rich deposits
were discovered by Americans, and O
wealthy syndicate was organized to work
them. Costly concessions were purchased
from the Spanish government, an extern
sive pier and ore pockets were built, and
several narrow gauge railroad tracks were
planted up the steep sides of the noun
tains and carried back into the hill ranges
for O dozen miles or more. Baiquiri was
made the terminus Of all these spurs, and
on to tho big railroad pier the ore was
hauled.
During tho last TX years 100 ocean
steamers have been loaded with iron ore
at Baiquiri bay. With the exception OF
about 30, 1000 tons which went to Europe,
all of the ore came to the United States.
A very largo number of American iron
works which received their supplies via
Baltimore and Philadelphia were depend
ent on these mines for their supply OF iron
ore.
While the Americans worked the mines
the Spanish worked the Americans. Ev-
cry sort of extortion which could be in
yented-and the Spanish are experts at
this kind of business-has been practfced
on the Yankee capitalists, but in spite of
all this bleeding the ores were found to be
SO rich hat the syndicate has operated
with great financial success.
Said one OF the American capitalists
who has large holdings in the vicinity OF
Santiago and Baiquiri: THAT entire part
of Cub IS very mountainous Tho hills
rise direct frcm the water and tower one
above tho other back toward the center of
the island. They are full of mineral. Iron
is not the only wealth, but there are man
gancse mines, and copper is very plentiful.
At Cobre, some 10 miles northwest from
Santiago, on the western side of the bay
where Cervera was hidden, is an old cop
per mine owned by the English. The ores

gomery went out on a fly to second Cal lahan singled and reached second on a passed ball. Gfororer and Clifford went out on infield flies.
 It was a goose egg every inning until the seventh, both pitchers stralning every nerve and doing excellent work In this inning Giiligan was the first man up. He caught one of Callahan's curves right on the trade mark and sent in on an aerial journey 10 left. Clifford ran to catch 1t on fly. It fell before he reached it and rolled into the ditch which runs along by the fence. Red- dy's hope was to stretch it into three bagger. He came past second like light- ming express going down a mountain on greased track with all brakes off. scrap py" Longhaired Clifford strained his neel to spy the Bounce sphere Gilligan came by third and Adonis Veitch from the coach- ing lines yelled come home. Clifford looked like a man suddenly stricken with paralysis, and the red-topped Giligan had crossed the rubber when the ball left his hands for throw in.
 This proved to be the winning run, for in the seventh the first three men up went out on easy plays. The "Blowhards'' came up in the ninth determined to tie the score and win on 8 garrison finish. Cole man had them at his mercy, however, and only three men had the opportunity Of tac- ing him.

 The loading of troops at Rossvile and Ringgold this week was made necessary because of the enormous quantities of sup plies of every description, including horses and mules and wagon trains, etc, that have crowded the tracks of the Chattanooga, Rome and Southern. Official notice was re- ceived by General Brooke that thirty regi- ments of volunteers have been ordered from their points of rendezvouz in fourteen states to this point.

NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

There were two heroes in "baseballdom'' last night. They were Pitcher Coleman, who made his first appearance with the coal barons yesterday afternoon, and Gill ligan, the auburn-hared shortstop.
 Coleman won his laurels by shutting out the aggregation from the "blowhard" town. Gilligan, by making Birmingham's only and winning run.
 Those who let that little May shower keep them from West End park will knock their heads against the first post in sight this morning. The rain delayed the game a few moments, but when it came it was the finest exhibition of ball playing on the home grounds this season. The fielders had an easy time, but it was an exciting pitch CTS battle from start to finish. Both twirlers got a good foundation in the open ing and ont a guy-rope swerved during the entire nine innings. Not a man with the exception of Gilligan got past second. He knocked one to left good for three bags Clifford tried to run it down, but it got lost in the weeds, and, with all sails set, Glligan crossed the rubber with the only run of the game.
 Coleman got shade the best of the af- fair. Only three hits were made OH nlm and he gave one base on balls Five safe ones were made off Callahan's delivery and he issued three free passes to first and hit a man. He had good curves and played havoc with Birmingham's heavy hitters. White got three of the five hits made off him.
 All hitters looked alike to Coleman. They came up to the bat and went out with clock like regularity.
 Gfororer, for Atlanta, hit a long fly to Houseman. That gentleman walked under 1t and then let 1t drop. Clifford sawed the air three times. Martin hit another one to Houseman. This time he socked it, but in trying to catch Gfororer at first he threw over Haller's head and the runner went to second. Mullaney went out on an easy one to first
 White the first man up for Birmingham, made single. Willg hit to third and a double play resulted. LaPorte went out on a pop to second.
 Only three Atlanta men faced Coleman The first two went out on easy hits, and Boyers fell victim to the big pitchers curves. Just three men faced Callahan. all going out on easy hits. In the third the Blowhards got a man on second. Mont

 This netting will be the first of the new executive committee, and on this account it is not known positively what matters will come up before it.
 But there is not much doubt that the plan of the coming campaign will be out lined and the committees appointed for its management. It is generally thought that Chairman Lowe will take charge of it personally, and in his hands democrats are satisfied the campaign will be wisely conducted. Of course, under these circum- stances Birmingham will be the center of the campaign.
 Another important matter that will doubt less come up before the committee will be the hearing of athe contest from Green county. It will be remembered that there are two county executive committees in that county, each claiming that they are in the right and it will be the duty of the state executive committee to decide the contest.

SOMETHING ROfTEN ABOUT IT.
Montgomery Did Not Disband Through Ne
 cessity
snecIal to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Aeralu.
 Montgomery, May H.-The disbandlng Of Montgomery's team appears to have been unnecessary and to have been inspired by other motives than necessity. Referring to the matter a ball crank here said to- day:
 "The main cause of the teams leaving was due to Outcalts influence with Smith, for 1t is a well known fact that Smith wanted to sign Pabst and strengthen his team, but of course signing Pabst would make Outcalt lose his job. consequently Pabst was never wired. or any effort made to sign him. The step Smith took in this matter was one of the most objectionable tricks known in base ball, for he had the assurance of Lenard and Boyer that the league would meet Sunday and take the team off of his hands Furthermore, Leon ard told him he would guarantee him his expenses for three days until the league met, but Outcalt worked on the old gem tleman so that he did not know whether he was standing on his head or feet Such men Outcalt should be blacklisted and kept out of the game.
 Tt is hoped that the deal between the league and McCloskey will come to a head, and that Me. will be- here in time to play Mondays games and take up the end where Smith left off. Mes coming to Montgomery will be a wise move for he is a favorite here and will do well.
 In an interview Manager Leonard of the Augusta team said that when he saw Smith on the train that he made the proposition to him. stated above to guarantee the ex- penses of the team and their salaries; that Outcaft told Smith not to do it. Leonard also denied the story that when his team got home it would disahand. The magnates meet today in Montgomery to devise some plan to keep the league intact. President Baugh of the local club said yesterday afternoon that he had no doubt that some satifactory arrangement would be made to keep the league going.
