Nov, Mr.. Chairman, shall not vote
for any four hundred thousand dollar

of Cuba until this government explicitly
says to Blanco and to Sagasta, Repeal
your Weyler order which is starving
these people,"
There is the place TO. take the initia-
tive. Make them repeal the murder or
der Of Weyler. From even a Spanish
standpoint or Weyler standpoint, it Is
no longer necessary that the order
should continue in force Weyler said he
made the order for the purpose of des-
troying the basis of supplies of the
Cuban patriots in the west, in Havana,
in Matanzas in Santa Clara and in Puer-
to Principe
"Well, they are already destroyed.
There are. ilo provisions raised there.
There are not ten acres in all these pro-
vinces planted with provisions. The
country is devastated and ruined 1t is
an utter impossibility, unless they bring
their provisions with them, for Gomez
and Garcia to march into the western
provinces of Cuba. Therefore / say that
the initiative should be a peremptory
demand by the government for the re-
peal of the Weyler order. When that is
done, feed the reconcentrados if you
please. First give them homes, give them
plows, give them oxen, and in Gods
name send them back to the blackened
ashes Of their homes, and give them the
opportunity to raise provisions for them
selves"

of Mr.. Cummings time beyond the five

Opening Game Of the Season at City Hall This
Evening.

1t will be a grand opening of the polo
season at City hall, this evening. The
followers say that Augusta and Bangor
all the lusty cheers that are at the COM
mand of the Augusta public and players
say there is not a crowd anywhere that
can make the noise an Augusta crowd
can.
1t was great to see the men in the
arena at City hall, Tuesday afternoon
shooting about here, there and every
where, after the round sphere. and max
ing mark of O'Malley as though they
were at rifle practice. 1t is hard to tell
whether the men are good shots or not
but at any rate the goal tend was kept
hustling to keep the ball from the cage
Hadley and Houghton always were great
passers and their ability as fierce driv-
ers, was never to be left unspoken Of
They are both very fleet as skaters and
they are finding their positions well. Gay
did the brother act with Houghton last
season. until he was taken ill, and he
acts as though he is as fast as ever
O'Hara has in the terms of the polo
arena, the lear marks of conner" He
is said to put up fast game as half
back. He certainly shows up well in the
practice. AS for OMalley, he is as usual
quick and sure in goal
1t is probable that Dill of last wears
Gardiner team, at the close of the sea-
son, will be present in uniform ready to
go in in case there is any need.
Bangor will be present in all their glory
with much respect for their opponents,
who were beaten by only one goal in the
first game.
The game, this evening, will commence
at $50. Thomas Connolly, the well-known
base ball umpire, will be the referee.

Waterville Mail: When Lawyer F.
E. Brown started for Augusta, this
morning, he carried a paper wrapped
parcel marked, H. M. Heath" In
quiry revealed the fact that the paper
contained hat belonging to the dis
tinguished Augusta advocate, which
had been taken from the coat room at
the court house by the senior partner
of the firm of Brown & Brown, who
mistook it for his own. AS soon as he
had discovered his loss Mr.. Heath at
once wrote Mr.. Brown, stating that
considering his Democratic proclivities
he might be expected to steal almost
anything and asking for the return of
the hat. 1t will doubtless cost Mr..
Brown something for cigars for his as
sociates at the bar.
