SPAIN WILL NEVER PAY.
War the Result If the United States
Demands Indemnity for the
Maine.

VIENNA, March 1S.-The Neue F'reie
Presse publishes an interview with a
Spanish statesman, evidently the Mar
quis de Hoyos, the Spanish ambassa-
dor, who is represented as saying:
Spain would rather have war with
the United States than pay compensa-
ton for the Maine, for by the latter
course she would forfeit her honor
through an admission of guilt, which
would erase her name from the list Of
civilized nations.
"It could not be England's interest
to see the Spaniards expelled from Gu
ba, as there might arise at Washing
ton an inclination to declare Canada's
: independence. If during a war the
United States should incite the Philip
pines to revolt, Spain could revenge
herself by raising revolts in the Ameri-
can Southern states'

ROME, March 18.-An official denial
Is given to the report that the armored
cruiser Farese has been SOLD to Spain.
WASHINGTON, March lS.-Beyond
the AmaZonas, her sister ship and the
Mayfiower, no purchases have been
made by the navy department. A num-
her of fleet steam yachts, owned In the
United States, are being offered to the
department, and it is probable that
some Of these will be purchased.
Secretary Long takes the view that,
failing to secure the torpedo boat de-
stroyers he wants, the best plan is
for him to equip some of these speedy
boats with torpedo tubes and light bat
teries and improvise torpedo boats.
The navy department is convinced
that the Spanish government has not
acquired possession of the Varese, the
italian armored cruiser. 1t would not.

If the report were true.
The gunboat Newport reported her
arrival by cable to the navy depart
ment today from Greytown. She will
be attached to the North Atlantic
squadron. Some idea of the activity
prevailing in navy circles is given by
the statement that the pay roll Of the
construction department., only one of
several departments, in the Mare Isl
and navy yard for March was $4,000.
This great expenditure per month, it
is said, was not equaled during the

SELLING "sPLIT', TICKETS.
Railroad Men Think They Have ,
Traitor in Their Midst

IN Ihe1r Midst.
1t was reported yesterday in railroad cir
cles that one of the Chicago-St. Paul lines was
disposing of blocks of tickets to a st. Paul
broker, and the passenger agents of the
other roads were therefore very much
aroused.
The st. Paul Chicago lines some time ago
agreed to stand together during the present
rate war and the sale of the split tickets
to scalpers is therefore violation of that
agreement.
Under the split" ticket plan tickets to
Eastern cities are sold in two parts, one read
Ing to Chicago and the other to the point of
destination in the East. The scalper in con-
junction with the st. Paul agent could reap
harvest by forwarding the Eastern portion
OF the ticket to Chicago, where it could be
sold below the prevailing rate from Chicago
East.
The road making the sale to the scalper
would probably secure the return of the St
Iaul-Chlcago portion of the ticket, refunding
therefor a portion of the original purchase
price.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES
Harvard and Pennsylvania VIII

NEW YORK, March 1s.-Harvard and the
University of Pennsylvania have definitely
decided to play their annual football game
this year on Nov. s, which will create some
surprise in the college world, as it is an
unexpected departure from the usual Gus
tom of playing on the Saturday before
Thanksgiving day.
As Yale and Princeton have arranged to
play Nov. IL and Harvard and Yale on
Nov. 49, 1t looks as though Princeton and
Harvard will not play after all. That will

with the University of Pennsylvania are
opened between now and next fall.
With Harvard and Yale both playing two
hard games, there is no reason why Princeton
and Old Penn should not do the same. A

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The third
international cable chess match be-
tween teams representing the United
States and Great Britain for the New
mes challenge cup began today. The
American players We're in the Academy
of Music, Brooklyn, and the English
men played in the Hotel Cecil, London

the prize the first time it was played
for, and the British won it last year
1t will be seen from the appended
details of the play that the Britishers

Pillsbury, the American champion,
opened with queens gambit, against
the English champion, Blackburn
When the game was adjourned, Pills
bury had a strong position, but it seems
rather doubtful whether this adVan-
tage will be sufficient to win the game
tomorrow.
Showalter declined to take a gambit
pawn offered by Burn, and an interest
ing fight ensued. AS the game stands
at the adjournment it Is odds on the
kentuckian winning.
Barry, against Caro-, gained an ad-
vantage which may probably win the
game for him.
Hymes was matched against Atkins.
1t looked at the adjournment as if
Hymes would escape by a draw.
Hodges, against Bellingham, won a
pawn, and Hodges should certainly
win the game tomorrow.
Delmar selected a very Indifferent
variation of the French defense against
Mills. The Englishman should win.
The game between Baird and Locock
should end in a draw tomorrow.
On the eighth board Jackson out
played Young. The Englishman, bar
ring accidents, will win tomorrow.
Robinson may be able to draw his
game against Jacobs. The chances of
the Britisher, however, are much
roster.
Galbraith did not succeed much
against the Englishman, Trenchard,
who, in all probability, will win.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, March 1S.-The New

weights for 90 per cent of the gate receipts,
which the club guarantees will not be less
than $1,000.
Bonner wanted to have the weight at 1873
pounds, but Mccoy would not hear of such
a thing, probably because he knows that
he cannot get to that figure without trouble.
