HE QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN.

is rapidly putting its navy in fighting
condition. Private advices indicate
that the pope is doing all in his power
to induce Spain to submit the whole
Cuban question to arbitration. Sa-
gastn does not dare consent. for he
breads the military leaders, who are
really anxious to fight the United
States. The result OF the present nego-
tiations between the pope and the queen
regent will demonstrate how much in
fluence and authority the vatican has
in Spain to-day. If Sagasta persists in
resisting the advice of the pope it is
likely that the whole power of the
church will be exerted to secure the
independence of the Cuban republic.

According to report OF the Oriole's $
practice, Jack Doyle will be sadly missed
by the Baltimore fans when the season
opens. McGann, who will play first for
the Birds this year, is far from being as
good as Doyle. He is good batter, but
as first baseman, it is said, that he has
much to learn.
If Yeager the new Brooklyn twirler

this year of any of those drafted from the
minor leagues.
Captain Buck Ewing has decided on
the final makeup of the Reds. The in
field will be the same as last year, Beck

ment is almost as strong as the New

is in good condition.

AOUATICS.

Dibblee, captain of Harvard's football
team, was yesterday dropped from the
junior crew, where he has been rowing
bow. Lack of practice caused his re-

moved from to bow.
Canadians are hoping that the date for
the National Regatta will be changed to
few weeks later, SO as to allow them to

Cornell, Pennsylvania and Columbia
have not yet decided whether Pough-
keepsie or Saratoga will be the place for
the coming Intercollegiate regatta to be
held July !. Ina general way Saratoga is
preferred.
Courtney, the Cornell coach, has cut
down the squad of freshman crew candi-
dates from fifty to twenty, and considers
that he has in hand the finest squad OF
its kind ever Known at Cornell.
Coach Robert J Cooks change of plans
for the Yale crew have caused wide COM

Cook has, this season, reyolutionized
Yale training methods, as far as the crew
is concerned.
1t seems to be the lot of Yale, Harvard

not to hold their big boat race without
another complication.
Eight-oared rowing has never gotten

shell in the country. There
is promise, though, of plenty of racing
in these craft there this season. The
Argonauts and Don Rowing Club, of
Toronto, have ordered boats, and race

The weather, from base ball point o.
view, took quite brace to itself yester
day.
Messrs. Rogers and Reach, of the Phila.
delphia Club, will do all they can to bring
the pennant flag to Philadelphia. This
is shown by Rogers's announcement
that he would rather lose sic, 900 and see
the Phillies win the pennant than make
$4,000 with the team in second place.
This is taken by the cranks to mean
that Rogers will do all he can to give the
city a winning team this year. There
has been some talk of offering SIS 900 to
the players as reward for the pennant.
Rogers admits that he and Reach have
been considering the advisability OF offer
ing some sort of an inducement, but
says the matter will not be decided until
the make up of the team has been finally
decided upon.
At no stage OF the game was there the
slightest possibility that Anson would

he had the money.
