kGOT BILL.

Bcmis Pierce, captain of the Carlisle
Indian football team for the past three
seasons, has resigned and "Lttle' lIud-
son, as he is famiIiarly known, elected
in his place Hudson has played quar-
tcrback on the team the last two seasons,
and stands without peer in drop-kick-
ing on the otball field today.
Hudson made himself famous last sea-
son by kicking two goals from the field
in the game with the University OF
Pennsylvania. He also kicked goals
from the field against Yale, Illinois and
Wisconsin. He is member of the
Pueblo tribe, OF New Mexico, and is the
smallest member of the team. lie is five
feet three inches in height and weighs
one hundred and thirty pounds.
1t is highly probable that the foot ball
associations will name the same men
who comprised the former committee Of
revision OF the rules. These are Joseph
Sears Of Harvard, Walter Camp of Yale,
A.Moffat of Princeton, John G. Bell of the
University Of Pennsylvania Professor
Dennis Of Cornell, and Paul Dashiel OF
the United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis. This may not be the exact
makeup Of the committee, as one or two
changes are possible. Just what changes
are likely to be made in the playing
rules. it is too early to say, and doubt
less there will be some weighty discus
sions on the subject at the various uni
versitics. However, there is Il disposi-
zion on the part of those who have the
b,vt iptnrnut : ,f f,ht hn1 ot haart T., IL,
away with all back Of the line formations
involving the forwards-that is, to rr-
quire forwards to remain in the line
until the ball has been put in play. This,
it is thought, would benefit the game
and prove more enjoyable to srecta-
tors.

Spanlards Could Not Have Stood Up
Before Sampson's Guns.
Special Cablegram From a STAFF Correspondent.
JURAGUA, June - via Port Antonio,
Jamaica, June 24.-The landing of our
troops without opposition this morning in
dicates that the Spanish military authori-
ties are concentrating all their strength for
the defense of Santiago proper. Half an
hours vigorous Smelling from Juragua for
five miles west along the road toward San
tiago cleared the way, but was really lit
tie more than spectacle, because it was
so One-sided. The Spanish forces could not
have withstood the fire. They would have
been moved down. When the landing was
made at Juragua village it was deserted
and everything was quickly in possession
of the Americans.
Sampson came up in the New York after
the hills were shelled and conferred with
Shafter about future movements. Camp
will be established here until stores can be
landed, as the soldiers have only three days
rations; tEen a prompt movement will be
made against Santiago. The indications
are that siege guns and heavy artillery can
be transported along the roads without Sc
rlous inconvenience. The Engineer Corps
was among the first to land and is already
at work. Definite knowledge seems to be
lacking whether Cervera has been able
to take many of his guns from the ships
In the harbor and mount them on the
heights. Cannonading the city and recon-
notering during the next few days will
establish this and other points. The CO.
operation OF the insurgents has not been
much help so far. The transports can re-
turn to Tampa in two days. PEPPER,

though an Intellectual efforts was made to
destroy the locomotives of the railroad
and the rolling stock. Gen. Linares re-
treated to Savil,a, six miles west Of Jura-
qua by road, and nine miles from Santiago
de Cuba. A detachment Of seventeen Gu
bans. under Col. Aguirara collided with
the Spanish rear guard. The Cubans lost
two men killed and had several wounded
The Spanish loss is not known. One Span
lard was killed by a machete.
Occupation of Juragua.
Gen. Chaffee. with the 9th Cavalry, the
remainder of the S,h and 4th, 7th. 18th and
18th Infantry, reached Juragua at dark.
Gen. Bates, with the reserve of the 10Th
Infantry and Col. Woods rough riders, dis
mounted with dynamite gun, hurried for
ward from Baiquiri at 8 o'clock, proceeding
by forced marches.
When the couriers brought the news that
Juragua had been occupied the troopships
which had not debarked their troops
steamed to Juragua with the view of land
ing them there. But the heavy sea beating
on the beach made 1t impossible to get the
boats through the surf.
Dispatches of General Linares, which
have been captured. indicate that the Span
iards were ordered to retreat toward Santi-
ago de Cuba.
The Cuhans expect the first stand to be
made at Savilla, and they have proved good
prophets in the past. General Lawton's men
are badly tagged by forced marches and
the intense heat. Their rations are almost
exhausted. They started with three days
supplies, and further food could not be
landed today. But a pack train will be sent
forward tomorrow.
Strong Outpost Maintained.
Strong outposts are maintained tonight
in order to prevent surprise, and Juragua
is also under the protection of the guns of
the warships. Thus the flank of the ad
vancing American column is safe. The
Spaniards, TO attack our troops, must make
a forced march through an almost impene-
trable underground.
There were only two casualties during
the landing of the troops at BaiGuiri. Cor
poral Cobb ard Private English of Troop
d, 10th Cavalry (coloreG), fell between a
lighter and the pier Captain ONeill, of
Woods rough riders, plunged into the sea
at the risk Of his life, but the men were
crushed before he reached them. O'Neil
is a former mayor of Tucson, Arizona.
Several horses and mules were drowned
while swimming ashore through the surf.
General Garcia's army OF 1000 men is to
be conveyed by transports from Aserradero
and landed at Baiquiri tomorrow, to join
the 100 men under General Castillo and
cooperate with the American troops.
The movement today almost amounts to
change of base.
A brisk musketry fire was heard in the
direction of Savilia as the Dauntless left
at dark.

will be issued extending the Cuban
blockade.
1t is said at the Navy Department
that Admiral Dewey is the supreme
authority at Manila Since the ar
rival OF the German warships at Ma
Mia no instructions relating to the
Manila situation have been sent to

Advices from Gen. Shafter's COM
mland up to late hour last night say
that our troops have driven the Span
iards back toward the defenses of
Santiago and have occupied a posi-
ton on the plateau on the east side
of the city about seven miles distant
from the defenses. A decisive bat
tie is expected in few days.
In the Spanish cortes yesterday
the deputies engaged in a long
wrangle over the war situation.
Grave accusations were exchanged
The implied opinion of several prom

lost her colonies and that peace ne
