The championship season in the Western
League will open this afternoon with De-

the Indianapolis team will get it's uniforms
in time to wear this afternoon. 1t is likely
that Phillips will pitch for Indianapolis,
though change may be made at the last
moment. A good deal depends on just how
the pitchers feel this morning. The one who
is in the best condition will be put in the
box.
Hoffmeister arrived yesterday and is
slated to play third this afternoon. He ap-
pears to be in fair condition. Kahoe will
do the catching. 1t has not been definitely
determined who will make up the outfield
for this opening game Hogriever, will, of
course, play right, and the other two posi-
tions will be filled by Flynn and Deadly or
Fleming The faces on the Detroit team
are many of them new, and the crowd will
scarcely recognize the club as the one seen
here last season. The new indianapolis
catcher, Lynch, is a strong, well-built
and with fine throwing arm. He has not
had much chance as yet to practice, but
will get ample opportunity in a few days.
Both teams will ride in tallyhoss to start

LONDON, April 2O.-The Madrid corre-

ing Tuesday says Popular Indignation
against the attitude of the United States is
increasing day by day. more especially in
the big towns like Barcelona, and in spite
of the government having energetically re-
pressed all such demonstrations it is always
within the bounds of possibility that at
some place or other deplorable events may
occur. Above all, however. the greatest en-
thusiasm prevails and the government has
received large sums of money from wealthy
private individuals. / have had a CONVERSE
ton with an eminent Spanish statesman
about the present state of affairs and the
contemplated action of the government. He
said: What 1 can tell you at this critical
moment is very little, as you know war is
a foregone conclusion. 1t cannot be avoided.
The fault assuredly is not ours We pro-
claimed autonomy and granted armistice
under conditions which rendered that step
an act of heroic self-sacrifice for the sake
of peace. 1t was followed up by dispatching
a commission to the Cuban rebels, with
whom, In all probability, peace would have
been concluded within a week fortnight
II the American Congress had not baffled all
our efforts by proclaiming Cuban independ-
ence, which is equivalent to a declaration
of war. We can do nothing more for the
maintenance of peace and we disclaim all
responsibility for the results of war. We
were resolved not to provoke hostilites di-
rectly or indirectly; and, if the American
declarations of love, peace and humanity
were sincere, the dispute would have been
amicably arranged already. Now that there
is no longer any golden bridge leading to
peace, / cannot undertake to say what steps
the government intends to take, but the
meeting of the Cortes tomorrow and the
following days of the sessions will make
things clearer. l may give it as my per-
sonal opinion that matters will come to a
head within four or five days at the latest

GEN. CRESPO is DEAD.
Confirmation of the Report that He
Was Killed in Battle.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The State De-
partment received information this after
noon from Minister LOOMS at Caracas,
killed While battling with insurgents led by
General Hernandez. This information con-
firms yesterdays reports.
Joaquin Crespo was one of the greatest
warriors of Venezuela, and he had often
said he expected to fall in battle, while lead
ing his men against political intriguers. He
was a native of Venezuela and first won
distinction in the revolution of 1871. Twice
as President and once as provisional Presi-
dent he presided over the destinies of
Venezuela. In the revolution of 1879 he was
in the front in all the prominent engage
ments. AT Elzamuro he fought against
Guzman Blanco in 1884, and Blanco yielded
to him the presidency of the republic.
In 1886 he resigned from the Office, and
two years later brought about an insurrec-
ton against President Paul This revolu-
tion, short and fierce in its engagements,
resulted disastrously for General Crespo,
When General Crespo returned to Ven
ezuela in 1892, he once more plunged into
politics, revolution, and conflict. He won
several victories over Palacis and General
Villegas, and made provisional Presi-
dent of the newly formed government. On
Oct 25, 1899, the government was recog-
nized by the United States. The people re-
elected Crespo President in 1894 for term
Of four years.
The internal troubles of Venezuela con-
tinued in spite of Crespo's strength and pop
ularity. In March, 1884, bomb was thrown
at him, and he narrowly escaped death. The
activity of Blanco in his efforts to over
throw Crespo became prominent again in
1895. but Crespo suppressed the revolution
in it's infancy. Also, in 1895, q police con-
spiracy arose, and Crespo's army again
arose and crushed it out. Crespo presided in
Venezuela at the time of President Cleye-

General Crespo was hfty-four years of age

General Hernandez is the son of a carpen-
ter and the boast of being of the people is

in 1876 at the age of sixteen in the revolu-
ton against Guzman Blanco. Nineteen
battle scars mark his body. He has been
a military prisoner eighteen times. AT one
time he lived in the United States.
