ONE CAN BE SAVED.
Infanta Maria Teresa Only Spanish
Vessel That May he Repaired
The Damage TO the Others.

OFF Santiago de Cuba, July 10, via
Kingston. Jamaica, July l2.-The board
of survey appointed to examine the
wrecks of the Spanish ships and to in
quire into the nature of their injuries
reports that only one ship can possibly
be saved She is the lnfanta Maria
Teresa, the former flagship of Admiral
Cervera.
The hull of the Cristobal Colon shows
she was only hit six times, and then
only by shells of eight-inch, fiye-inch
and six-inch calibers. This verifies the
story that the commander of the Girls
tobal Colon surrendered because he
saw she could not get away from the
Brooklyn and Oregon, and to continue
the battle meant a sacrifice of life.
The Nizcaya showed she had been
ridded by the Brooklyn and Oregon.
She had not been struck by proiectiles
larger than eight inches. There was
no sign of her having been struck by a
she'll of ~ or 10 inches. Her upper
works were riddled by one and six
FOUNDER shells. Nearly all of these
shells exploded inside the superstruc-
ture, and must have driven the men
from the guns. This confirms the
story of Capt. Eulate that the Brook
lyn's secondary battery fire was so
terrible that the men deserted their
guns.

DALLAS Dali Notes.

Dallas. Texas, March lS.--Yesterday's rain
halted the men al work on the new ball park
and it will probably be several days before 1t
ever, and McCloskey is OF the opinion that
the downpour will improve the grounds. The
grounds have been plowed, narrowed and
rolled and he thinks the rain has put II in
shape to make It yield much more readily IL
the pressure of the hig rollers next time
McCloskey will leave tomorrow night Tor
Houston, to attend the league meeting. which
will be held in that city next Tuesday Re
garding the work to be transacted by tbs
magnates at this meeting, he said that one
of the principal duties of these gentlemen
will be to decide the cases of kemmer ana
Hardy. These two players, IL will be remem-
bersd iumped their contracts with Waco To-
ward the close of last season. For this Man
ager Drake succeeded in having them sus
pended. They signed contracts with Hous-
ton this year, nevertheless, and Drake now
says he must be paid release money or no
will not allow them to play. McCloskey says
that this money will surely have TO be paid
Houston will have to purchase the release OF
these two men just as / was forced to DO
with Alexander he said, Alexander was
one of those who jumped their contracts with
Waco, but as bought his release from DRAKE
he was reinstated
The schedule for the season Will be drawn
up and adopted ut this meeting.
Speaking of Alexander, McC!oskcy said that
this player had already made record this
season which would be hard TO beat. In tho
game at Denson," said he. Alexander was
Ireditee with len put outs and one assist IN
&C inter- field without an error. In the two
ennes at Gainesville he was Mt bat eight
times and made eight safe hits. Think thc
other players in this league viii md y DIM
cult to beat this record during the coming
