JOSEPH A. STARR. Z
Mr.. Starr Is the base ball man who
wrote 10 the Intclligencer ten days ago,
asking as 10 the situation here. and was
advised to go ahead and secure q Wheel
ing franchise. Last year he managed
The Lima, team IN tho Northwestern
Ohio league. and developed several good
PLAYERS, including Dresnnhen, drafted by
Washington Of the National league, and
others who found Interstate berths be-
fore the season closed. Mr., Starr Is In
the cigar manufacturing business ut To-
lrdo. nut Is an ardent base bali enthusl-
asst as we'll as player and desires to put
IN Ohio league club in n good town.
On rrcclptof Mr. Stars letter. the In
telIIEcncer called on General Manager
Wright, OF the Wheeling Railway COM.
pany. and he expressed his belief that
IL would be a good move to encourage
Starr and have him locate here. Nv.
Wright was asked regarding grounds,
aud he made the rather startling an
nuuRCement that the Wheeling Railway
Company would move In the direction
~ providing new and satisfactory
grounds for the club II located here. 1t
was thought that the old grounds
would be used, but Mr.. .Wrlsht's idea is
to lease ground on the line of his road
and rebuild the old park stands and
fences there. This step, he considers
desirable. so that Wheeling will De in
shape to get into faster league next
season. so z
Upon learning General Manager
Wrights views, the 1ntelligencer lost no
time in writing to Mr.. Starr. stating the
.lattering prospects that had developed
through Mr.. Wright's statements. and
asked that he come'to Wheeling with as
little delay as possible. to look over the
ground and locate his club.It Is probable
that Mr.: Starr will be in Wheeling early
thls week.
Although some bf the local fans have
not enthused over Wheeling figuring in
what they call u weak league, yet, as the
Intelligencer has said more than once
recently, 1t Is, much better to have a
winning club in q weak league than Il
losing club in n stronger league. And it
Is not yet developed that the Ohio state
league will be weak organization.
Quite the other condition IS probable.

Wa. the Feature OF tho boxing Contests at

q BEL s
sli Huntington. 3FtIS
There was a good crowd at the Man
rington Opera House Saturday night
to witness the boxing contest between
Frank Taylor, OF Fairmont, and John
Matthews, Of Philadelphia. The arti-
cies Of agreement called for O. six round
60. or until decision could be given,
but owing to the lateness of the hour,
the principals agreed to stop the con-
test ut T. o'clock. II 1t should not be de-
cided before that time. N
William Sherry, of Wheeling, was
chosen referee, and the first preliminary
was called at 10 O'Clock. being four
round bout between Robert Tucker and
Alex. Rankin, OF Washington, Pa, the
midget pupils Of Prof. Gordon. The
bout was declared a draw, the boys
sustaining their reputation for clever
hess.
The second go was between Fent
Thorne, OF Warrington. and Elem.
MaStleld, of Fa!rmont. This waste be
four-round contest but Mayfield, who
weighed about leo pounds. was not In
1t with Thorne, 40 pounds. Thornc
wadet into his opponent in the first
round and after flooring him several
times, had him Sroggy when the gong
sounded. In the second round Thorne
giirlshed his contract in about half q
minute. putting Maytield out ThOrne
has in him the making OF good boxer.
The last preliminary was between
Jerry Marshall, lbs pounds, and "the
only" Allegon. 10 pounds; 1T was q
four--round- draw. -.=e''--- , (

Taylor and John Matthews, both In
splendid condition, and weighing about
l65 pounds. They started In .'for fairs
but Taylor evidently soon discovered
that he was up against'it," as he con-
stantiy INDUCED in glaring fouls. At
the end OF the second round, Taylor fol-
lowed Matthews around the ring and
repeatedly struck him. Referee Sherry
did not allow the claim OF foul, as he
wanted the spectators 10 see the worth
OF thelr monty, but he cautioned Tay-
lor not to repeat the performance, but
his talk was wasted on Taylor, who re-
peatedly fouled, and thereswas not q
round after the second in which Mat

In the seventh round, after having
cautioned Taylor, Referee Sherry gave
the contest to Matthews. The decision
gave general satisfaction, as 1t was APP

out. --l=

HOSPITAL TRAIN FOR
 SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
Will Be Kept in Service During the War and Is Expected to Be of
 Incalculable Value.

NEW YORK, June 12-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: There will be hospital train out of this city in few days that will eclipse anything of the kind CT before run. It will be the first hospital train of this war, and the most completely equipped of any in the history of our country. It will go on a southern railway to Tampa. It will carry in addition to specially picked crew, twenty members Of the United States army hospital corps. who will act in the capacity of nurses, hos pital stewards, cooks and other attend ants of a modern hospital. It will be in command of Llaior Richards, lately on duty at Fort Munroe and Captain Stiles, lately on duty at Fort Preble. On its arrival at Tampa it will be used as a stationary hospital for any sick and wounded soldiers, sailors and ma rines until it is deemed advisable to carry them to some army hospital far ther north. It will then be re-converted into a moving hospital, and will act as a transport for the sick. It will be kept in service throughout the entire war, and is ex~ected to be of incalcul- able value to the Government in carry ing sick and wounded to the hospital station at Fort McPherson, Ga, Chica- mauga or 'ort Thomas, Ky.

PREDICTS THE EARLY
 FALL OF SANTIAGO.
Will Not Encounter Serious Difficulties.

LONDON, June 12-Rear Admiral Sampson's acquisition of a base for coaling and supplies at Guantanamo is universally recognized as practically settling the fate of Santiago, although it is believed the Spanish troops will show fight if the city is captured. The Times, in the course of an article re- viewing last weeks operations, says:
 "The Spanish garrison, we think, does not exceed 10000 men, who have an immense position to hold, and are lacking in supplies. Therefore General Shafter's difficulties will be mainly those of climate and movement, owing to the absence of good roads.
 Admiral Cervera's proceedings have proved that the Spanish ships find it impossible to keep at sea, and if 1t be true that the Minister of Marine has dismissed the capable Scotch engineers in it's service, the difficult is fully ac- counted for. It was highly improbable that Admiral Camara would attempt to cross the Atlantic, but some fast American cruisers may appear ere long in Spanish waters"
 Speaking of the Philippines. the Times says: "The surrender of Manila. appears inevitable within fortnight. In Spain's best interests 1t is hoped that when Manila and Santiago have fallen she will recognize the necessity of bringing to an end contest unequal from the first and rendered hopelessly so by her total unpreparednesS."

PORTO RICO NEARING
 STATE OF STARVATION.
The Government of the Islands Has Established Few Public
 Kitchens.

ST. THOMAS, Danish West Indies, June 12.-Walter Bett, who is said to have been a secretary of MT. Craw- ford, the British Consul at San Juan de Porto Rico the latter now acting for the United States, arrived here yester- day. MT. Bett was accused of commu- nicating information to the United States concerning the mines and forti- fications of San Juan, and he was therefore ordered to leave Porto Rico. The Spanish claim that this is flag rant breach of British neutrality and dangerous for MT. Crawford, unless it can be proved that the latter was not the employer of MT. Bett, and that the expelled secretary is not answerable for his actions to the British Govern ment.
 Mir. Bett denies having supplied the United States authorities with the information referred to. Thirty -one Porto Ricans, mostly women, also ar rived here yesterday. The newspapers say that two months of the existing conditions will bring Porto Rico to the verge of starvation. The Government of the islands has established a few public kitchens for the relief of those who are suffering most.
 The Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer Terror is now regarded as being use less, owing to the breakdown of her boilers and the lack of means to repair them. She is still at San Juan de Porto Rico with the Alfonso XIII, Isabel l. Ponce de Leon, Concha and Comachat At least they were all there when the refugees left San Juan.

ANNEXATION IS
 ALL ABSORBING The Vexed Question Now
 Up for Action. UNCERTAINTY IN CONGRESS. MISGIVINGS OF FRIENDS OF
 THE SCHEME.
UNCERTAINTY IN CONGRESS.
Great Difficulty of Maintaining a Quorum in the Senate Owing to the Activity of the
 Opposition.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The first days of the week in the Senate will be devoted to miscellaneous matters on the calendar, and the last days of it to the Hawaiian question, if present plans are pursued. The Hawaiian ques- tion is attracting more attention than any other matter now before Congress, and upon it's disposition largely de- bends the date of final adjournment of the session. Senator Frye is deter mined to get the House resolution up in the Senate as soon as it passes the House, and asserts his ability to hold the Senate in session for a reasonable time, or until the matter can be dis posed of.
 It is conceded on all hands that there is majority in the Senate favorable to annexation, but some of those who are friendly to this cause admit the diff culty of maintaining quorum of it's friends, and expect the opponents of annexation to refuse to assist them in maintaining a working Senate.
 Among other measures which there will be an effort to have considered during the week are the bill for the incorporation of the International Bank, Senator Pettigrew's bill regulat- ing the accounts of the public lands and the quarantine bill. The con ference committee report on the h.
  ceive attention, and it Is understood that if opportunity offers portion of the time will be devoted to the private pension and House bills on the calen- dar. Senator Morgan hopes to have a favorable report on the Nicaragua ca nal bill to present to the Senate late in the week.
 The debate upon the Newlands reso- lutions, providing for the annexation of Hawaii, will continue in the House this week until Wednesday afternoon, when at 5 o'clock a vote will be taken. Meanwhile conference reports upon the sundry civil, Indian and District of Co., lumbia appropriation bills may be pre- scented and considered, but owing to the great desire to speak upon Hawaii these reports most likely will be de- layed until after Wednesday, The gen. eral deficiency bill is expected to be taken up Thursday and will be dis posed of quickly. Aside from the quar- antine bill, there are no measures of much importance likely to come up. be- yond appropriation bills.

indicate that they were regulars, as most of the guerrillas carry Remington rifles.
 The Cuban guerrillas, as a rule, have more dash and courage than the regu- lars. The new campaign uniforms prove satisfactory and are almost invis- ible at distance of 200 yards.
 The Lee guns caused several acci- dents on the drawing of cartridges. Cor poral Glass shattered his hand
 Despite the loss of men, which is keenly regretted, the marines rejoice that they have been engaged in their first fight on Cuban soil They sailed from New York the day war was de- clared. Since then till they landed on the shore of Guantanamo Bay they have been cooped up in the Panther and they had begun to fear that the troops would beat them after all

PHILADELPHIA TO BE
 SENT TO HONOLULU.
Will Hoist the Stars and Stripes Over the Islands Should Congress
 Vote for Annexation.

NEW YORK, June 12.-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs:
 Rear Admiral Miller, commander-in- chief of the Pacific station, will hoist the American flag over the Hawaiian Islands as soon as Congress ratifies the resolution of annexation which is now being discussed in the House of Rep resentatives. AS soon as the cruiser Philadelphia is placed in commission, on July 1, she will become the flagship of the Pacific squadron and will sail for Honolulu I understand that the administration is determined to send a modern man-of-war to Honolulu ana that the Mohican will be sent to the far East to cruise among the spanish possessions which are not yet under control of Rear Admiral Dewey and seize them in the name of the United States. -
 Secretary Long w. consult with Captain Crowinshield during the week as to the officer to be placed in com mand of the Philadelphia. It Is be- lieved that the billet lies between two officers-Captain Louis Kempf, now captain of the Mare Island Navy Yard, and Captain Silas w. Terry, command ing the receiving ship Franklin.

whether the blockade from Cardenas to Bahia Honda was formally proclaim ed has been submitted to the powers. but they had not replied. America, he said, was operating against Santiago apparently on the assumption that a blockade of that port had never been formally proclaimed.
 Duke Almodovar said he would not conceal his opinion that the blocking of the entrance to Santiago harbor was unjustif1able, adding that the use of mines for such a purpose had been con- dernned by such eminent authorities on international law as Sir Richard Web ster, the British Attorney General, and Des Jardines, the French jurist With reference to exciting and aiding bar barians," the Foreign Minister was careful to avoid accusations against the Washington Government, but he gave the Chamber clearly to under stand that in his opinion a nation pro- fessing Humanitarian sentiments would certainly, by instigating rebellion among a population capable of pillag- ing, devastating, violating and tortur- ing, incur a tremendous moral re- sponsibility in the eyes of the civilized world
