 Posncr, the poser, played with the Bes- semer boys like a proud father plays with his first son. He tried 10 let the puddlers make a few runs but they just wouldn't. JAS far as base running is concerned it is safe to say that the Reds have no equals in the league.

SECRETARY SHERMAN RESIGNS
The Veteran Ohio Statesman Steps Out Of the
Cabinet,
His Successor Is Judge William r. Day. of
Canton, Ohio Change Made
To-day.

Washington. April 25.-Secretary
Sherman's resignation was handed to
the President at 1915 o'clock this after
noon. The message was brought to the
White House by the secretary's mes
senger.
Probably the resignation and thePres-
ident's acceptance will be made public
this afternoon Mr.. Sherman retires
from public life after service of over
forty years, embracing the House OF
Representatives, the United States
Senate. the secretaryship of the treas
ury and the secretaryship of the State.
The reason for the resignation Is the
condition of the secretary's health
which is impaired as the result OF
years of devotion TO the public service
and the arduous labors of life time,
added to age. the venerable statesman
being within few days Of 20.
1t is altogether probable that the next
secretary of state will be Mr.. William
II. Day,at present first assistant secre-
tary of state. Mr.. Day has been urged
to take the office by the President, but
is personally more Inclined to return to
Canton to the practice of law there
though it is believed here that he will
yield to the Presidents wishes in the
matter. Judge Day is in Canton. Ohio,
arranging his personal affairs. He has
had entire charge of Cuban affairs
almost since the beginning of the
administration.
Canton. o., April 25--Judge Day
reached Canton at 1925 am. today
He looked In good health. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent Informed
him of the resignation of Secretary
Sherman. When asked If he would
accept the vacant place he replied
simply, II will take the matter under
consideration"
While Judge Day declined to talk
for publication the Associated Press
correspondent believes 1t can be said
that under existing circumstances
Judge Day will accept the secretary
ship IL the President dominates him
and the Senate takes favorable action.
Judge Day made Il great business
sacrifice when he accepted the place
OF assistant secretary Of state. He has
not felt that he could afford to take
a cabinet portfolio but under present
circumstances II Is not believed that
he feels that he ought to decline.
Washington, April 25.-Secretary
Sherman's resignation was rendered
at 12:15. Assistant Secretary Day
has been chosen to succeed him.
Canton. Ohio. April 25.-Judge Day
will accept a. 6herman's successor.

denly a Spanish masked battery on the

CUT THE HAVANA CABLE.
Blanco Must Now Pass the Insurgents to
Communicate with Spain.

New York. April 25.+-A dispatch to
the Herald from Tampa, Fla, says:
The United States has cut the Ha-
vana cable. The cut was made about
10 miles out Of Havana and the south
ern end of the cable is now on the
Mangrove. which was recently convert
ed into an auxiliary cruiser.
This gives the government exclusive
use of the cable and entirely cuts Capt.
Gen. Blancol off from communication
from Spain, as the insurgents are be-
tween him and the other cable ports.
1t is Intended. as soon as the blockade
of Cienfuegos IL established, to cut the
cable between that point and Jamaica,
thus entirely severing Geographic COM
munication between Cuba and the out
side world, except such matter as Is
sent through the United States censor
ship. This censorship has already
been risldly established at Key West.
1t is said the censorship will be exv
tended to Punta Gorda.
Orders have been issued by the navy
department to prevent the newspaper
boats from following the fleet. thus
doubling the difficulty of obtaining ac-
curate information. as well as greatly
