WEATHER BUREAU EXTENSION.
Establishment of stations in the
West Indies.


Arrangements are progressing satisfac-
terily for the establishment of weather bu-
reau stations in the West Indies to give
notice of approaching tropical storms.
Stations have been established and ap-
rOintments- made as follows:
Santiago de Cuba, George Kingsbury of
this city; Santo Domingo, Louis Dorman
of Pittsburg; Kingston. Jamaica, the CEN
tral weather station of the new Caribbean
system, W. B. Stockman of Cleveland,

Trinidad, Ernest I. Giers, Philadelphia {:

Hayti has declined to permit the location
OF a station on her territory. The French
possessions of Martinique and Guadaloupe
while declining 10 permit this government
10 establish its own stations, offer the
weather service which they maintain. This
o1er has been accepted. and yesterday
Fred j. Randolph. formerly in charge of
the weather service at the House of Rep
resentativeS in this city, was directed to
complete negotiations with the French To-
cal government for transmission of the
observations. Mr.. Randolph will sail TO-
morrow and on the way will stop at st.

Base Ball Notes.

Senators at Chicago today.
Wake up and get a good start.
Yesterdays victory made eight straight
for Louisville.
Third Baseman Jud Smith will be in the
game at Chicago today. a..
The western trip of the Senators will be
a short one. They will be back at National
Park a week from tomorrow with Cleveland
"a transferred series.
The Encouragement of the Louisville in
field is the probable cause of the late win
ming streak. Ritchey fS playing better
second than he did short; Harry Davis is
one of the best first basemen in the league
and has strengthened the club; Clingman is
doing just well at short he did at
third, and Wagner, the only weak fielder
in the bunch, is doing well at third and
hitting like league leader.
Cincinnati plays thirteen straight games
at home, including yesterdays contest with
Brooklyn, and the Ewingites should almost
cinch their claim on the championship dur
ing this period, the club is playing pen
nant ball just now.
What treat it would be for the Washing
ton base ball fans If a series like the
Cleveland Baltimore games being played in
Philadelphia could be pulled off at Nation
al Park
Pitcher Norcom, the Washington boy
playing with Fort Wayne, is making a
great record He wins about four out of
every five games he pitches, and besides is
outfield.
The Newark players who recently went
on strike because of unpaid salaries and
were blacklisted have been reinstated and
are again playing with Manager Burns.
The case of Buck" Freeman, who Is
playing right field for Toronto. is a strange
one. Here is a gentlemanly fellow all
around: the best hitter in the Eastern
League, and almost the best fielder,yet there
Is not a National League magnate that will
touch him. Arthur Irwin has given it out
that freeman is slow on his feet and this
is supposed to bar him out of fast company
Maybe Arthur is foxy and wants to keep
Buck himself. He said Casey was no
good, and Earl Wagner picked Snyder a
dead one. Casey and Freeman are the two
best players on the Toronto team and land
many victory through their batting and
fielding. Some day league magnate will
work one of Irwins tips the wrong way
and pick up jewel.
Bid McPhee came very near meeting with
the same accident that put Corcoran out of
the game in Pittsburg Tuesday. Bid came
so near stopping one of Harry Steinfeldt' 5
cannon throws with his head that he heard
the ball whizzing past his ear. 1t was Just
such play as caused the accident here
Sunday. McCreery of the Pirates had over
run third base. The ball was felded to
Steinfeldt from the outfield, and McPhee
called to him to watch home, thinking that
McCreery would try to score. Steiney saw
at glance that a quick throw to Irwin
would catch McCreery, so he cut the ball
loose full speed for third. McPhee, who
was not looking for that play and who was
standing in front of Steinfeldt, stepped back
just as Steinfeldt threw. The ball barely
missed him and both he and Harry turned
pale. The throw was true and McCreery
| was nailed three feet, just as Donovan
the ball struck Corcoran.-Cincinnati Com

FREEDMAN STOPS CHECK.
The Baltimore Club Will Make q

The Baltimore Club VIII Make q
Fight for It's Money.
Harry Won der Horst. secretary-treas-
urer of the Baltimore Base Ball Club, was
last evening notified that payment on the
check given his representative Monday in
New York had been ordered stopped.
This action by President Freedman of
the New York club will serve to add to
the troubles which have arisen over the
ferfeiting of that game. Mr.. Won der
Horst stated that he would take steps to
see that the New York club made good the
check. He said he would at once notify
President Young of Mr.. Freedman's action
and request that the matter be at once
called to the attention of the board of
directors.
THE remark Holmes made" said Mr.
Won der Horst, was unfortunate, but then
1t was only human nature for him to an
swer the spectator who had insulted him
after striking out Holmes is player who
seldom says word on the bali field, and
he regrets the occurrence as much any
one. The. crowd went to the polo grounds
that day partly in the desire to see Balti-
more play, and we do not propose to suffer
a loss of $500 because Mr.. Freedman lost
his temper and went on the field, which
he had no right to do and ordered his
team not to play
In response to request for his opinion
or the power of Andrew Freedman to bar
Holmes of the Baltimores from the New
York grounds in the future, as he has
threatened to do, President Nick Young
says:
AS general answer, would say that
no oihclai could assume the right under
any law known to base ball, to prevent
any player of visiting team from enter
ing the grounds for the purpose of TAX
ing part in a championship game of base
pail, assuming, of course, that the player
was in good standing under base bali law.
NO such case has ever occurred to my
knowledge"
freedman is determined to exclude
Holmes from all future games in Nen1
York, and there will doubtless be warm
times when the Orioles go to the polo
grounds again. foO

Seaman Anderson Accidentally killed

The body of Karl J. Anderson, seaman
Of the United States cruiser Brooklyn
was buried ashore at Guantanamo bay
yesterday. Anderson was killed by the
accidental discharge of a Spanish one
pound shell. smuggied from one of the
destroyed Spanish cruisers. against the or
ders of Capt. Cook. The shell exploded on
Tuesday while Anderson was hammerjng

last honors. The misfortune had spe-
cial accent of pathos, because the day of
Anderson's death was his twenty-fourth
birthday.

-FOUR GAMES IN TWO DAYS.

Today and Tomorrow.

Baltimore and Cleveland Will PIay
Doubie-Header Today and Tomorrow.
Yesterdays game between the Baltimore
and Cleveland clubs at Philadelphia was
prevented by the superabundance of wet
ness which covered the grounds at Broad
and Huntington streets. The clubs loss,
however, is the public's gain. for there will
be double-headers today and tomorrow. No
clubs in the league are playing against
greater disadvantages, and, all things con-
sidered, none are playing better ball. Un-
appreciated at home, they are compelled to
go elsewhere to seek the rewards which
their merits deserve. That they should
select Philadelphia as the scene of their
struggles is only another proof of what has
always been claimed for that old town
that it is the best base ball city in the
country.

that even should plobeci,e of the Cuban
people result in the vote by q majority for

accept That decision, but will still claim
absolute Independence
"If the United States shows a disposi-
ton to combat that claim We can only tako

resources aud power of America. we could
not last a month, but we will die fighting
for that independence for which We have

General Portuondo told me thaE while
not giving the statement as authoritative
he Believes that full understanding has
been arrived at between the American gov
ernment and Cuban leaders The United
States would retain troops in the island,
maintaining a pnotedtorate with power
OF veto on laws passed by the Cuban repre-
sentatives. The Cuban government will be
organized nominally independent but I'M
der the control of the United States.
Portuondo frankly Stated that while such
was probably the course of events, any in
PREVENTION In Cuban affairs or any attempt
to control the government would be bitterly
resented by the cubans and would probably
