SPANISH OFFICIALS ANXIOUS.
Worried as to- the Result of the
Maine Investigation.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23-The evening
Star has received the following from
its staff correspondent in Cuba:
Havana, Feb. % via Key WesO.-
Inquiry into the Maine disaster prog
resses along definite lines. The results
SO far may be summed up.in the state
ment that the probabilities that it was
an accident seem to decrease with the
progress of the investigation The
most intense anxiety is shown by the
Spanish officials here; who are in con-
slant communication with Madrid
They realize that the relations with
the United States were never so much
in danger of rupture as now This IS
the general feeling. The commercial
classes here are hopeful of American
intervention on peaceful lines. but
what they base their hopes on is I'M
known. The insurgents continue to win
minor military successes. The autono-
mists are restless and some Of the lead
ers seem on the point of breaking away
from the government. Army officers
continue to show an anti-American
sentiment. They are apparently the
only class that does not look for an
early crisis. Pepper"
Mr.. du Bose has received no word
as to the reported capture of the
Dauntless with a filibustering expedi-
ton, which is said to have got away
from point between Miami and Palm
Beach, Fla, recently. A capture OF
this Importance would be speedily re-
ported to the Spanish authorities here
and, in the absence OF advices, little
credit is given to the report
Capt. Sobral did not come to the
Spanish legation last night, as has been
stated. He has been expected for some
days, however. but his visit is said to
be without significance, as the incident
with which his name was recently CON
nected is considered closed.

BASE BALL GOSSIP.

According to the Springfield CNass) Union.
the management of the Springfield club has
lost about $4,000 during the past FIVE years.
Buck Ewing announces that he is out of
the game for good even when it comes TO

have gone back on him and his playing days
are over.
The following comprehensive paragraph is
going the rounds: Joe Quinn is doing a lit

is making money at it. The Orioles utility

| membered by the local fans as the
youngster who made such a creditable
record with Lincoln a few years ago
and his recent experience in the big
league is said to have effected a very
remarkable Improvement TIE value of
Tommy Tucker is sufficiently indicated
by the tremendous efforts that have
been made to get him back into the big
league. Tim Hurst offered Manager
o rfen Houseman and three other
players for Tucker, but the Omaha man
knew how to hold fast to a good thing
and Tucker will play here.
The outfield, as it is now constituted
consists of Nance, Burnett and Steve
Griffin. Burnett played in Detroit last
year and he is considered one of the
best outfielders in the league. Nance
comes from Louisville and is also a
orakerjack, while Griffin is an acquisi-
ton from st. Paul.
That they have come to Omaha to
stay Manager O'Brien says the public
Will be thoroughly convinced when the
names Of two National league pitchers
who have recently been secured, are
divuleed. He says that it VIII be i'm
possible to name these men now, as the
time limit has not expired, but that
they are two Of the crackerjacks of the
league. Sullivan, an Illinois amateur,
and Hagerman have also been signed
sight are McCauley, Kid Fear and a
Chicago youngster named Lager.
Fear will probably be traded for
another first-class catcher. who, with
McCauley, will make the team except
lonally strong behind the bat. Camel
has not been signed, as he wants to
play first base this year and with
Tucker on the list there is no place for
him on the Omaha team
Each member Of the committee has pre-
pared a schedule, but from all appearances
there is but little difference in them and
there is no evidence of any friction as to
the general outline in the schedule
The season Will open about April 90 with
the Western division playing series OF
four games with each other in the West and
the Eastern division splitting up the same
time in the East. After this the Western
clubs will move East the reverse of last
seasons schedule. Omaha viii be formally
admitted to the league and other matters
OF more or less Importance will be voted on.
President Colt of Indianapolis said to
reporter that so far as he knew there would
be no tinkering with the salary limit and
so far as Indianapolis concerned there
was no intention of asking for a raising OF
prices. The salary limit fixed and he
was opposed to reopening that question.

WASHINGTON, Feb 23.--A variety
of subjects occupied the attention Of
the house during the consideration Of
the sundry civil appropriation bill to-
day. Mr.. Mahany, of New York, made
an attack on the patriotism of some Of
the social leaders of New York, whom
he said held high revel while the nation
was bowed down with grief over the
loss of life resulting from the Maine
explosion.
Early in the session a resolution was
adopted inGuiring of the treasury de-
partment what has been done by the
United States to prevent the convey
ance to the Cubans of articles produced
in the United States; also as to the pre-
vention of filibustering.
General debate having closed yester-
day, today the reading of the sundry
civil bill for amendment under the five
minute rule was begun.
The appropriation of $4,000 for the
detection of violations of the internal
revenue laws next caused some debate.
Mr.. Kitchen Dem) and Mr.. Linney
Rep.), of North Carolina, were bitter
IN their denunciation of the injustice Of
the system of paying for information.
The former moved to strike out the
item. 1t placed a premium, they con-
tended, upon false prosecutions.
After some further debate by Messrs.
Tate (Denn., Ga-), swanson (Dem., Val,
and Peterson (Rep., N. c. in favor Of
the amendment, and by Mr.. Savers
Dem. Texas in opposition to it, the
vote was taken and the amendment to
strike out the appropriation was adopt
ed.
Mr.. Cannon gave notice that he would
ask for an aye and no vote when the
bill was presented to the house.
Society Scored.
At this junction Mr.. Mahany Rep.,
N Y.) created something of furry by
delivering a five-minute speech in de-
nunciation of what he termed the revels
Of the so-called 400 of New York, while
the nation was in mourning for the
loss of the sailors Of the Maine. While

OXFORD, Eng, Feb. 23.-Presldent
Freemantle, of the Oxford University
Athletic club, speaking of that organ
tzatiOn's declinatiOn of the challenge of
the American universities for an inter-
national contest this summer, said to-
day: I'VE reached the decision only af-
ter Tire most careful and painstaking
inquiry"
Treasurer Jackson said: Il do not
wish TO say single syllable that might
cause feeling; but, in addition to the
reports from those who are thoroughly
conversant with college athletics in
America. we have clippings from Amer
lean newspapers before US, and it is
impossible to reach any other conclu-
sion than that the status of the anna
teur American collegiate is not neces-
sarily the same as the standard at Ok
ford and at Cambridge. We could not
risk meeting athletes of inferior status.
This is the main objection, but there
are others. The Americans would have
sixteen or seventeen colleges to choose
from. Then, summer training is widely
OBJECTED to here.
But these objections are not vital
The decision was based upon the anna
teur status We hope our good friends
won't think We are afraid to meet
them. l may say that If Yale or Har-
ward challenges Oxford or Cambridge
this year, the challenge will be accept
ed, though we shall object to both ham,
mer throwing and weight putting"
The Times and sporting papers, in
announcing the decision of Oxford, said
IN substance that, whether rightly or
wrongly, the impression is abroad that
the status of the amateur American
leaves much to be desired
