while Fleming at second put up his usual
fine game. Moran at short and Hafford at
third are both new men, but they covered
their positions in great style, and will
keep their side of the diamond up in good

the game. but the Georgetown boys kept
right at 1t. and. although Eitzratt excused
himself from the game, and Hickey took
his place, they pounded out singles, doubles
and triples and stole bases until thirteen
more runs had been added to the total the

condition OF her magazines. boilers. coal

passed in review, with The conclusion that
excellent order prevailed and that no indi-
cation of any cause for an internal ex-
posion existed in shy quarter.
At o'clock in the evening of February
15 everything had been reported secure and
all was quiet.
At forty minutes past nine o'clock the
vessel was suddenly destroyed.
There were two distinct explosions. with
a brief interval between them. The first
lifted the forward part of the ship very
perceptibly; the second, which was more
open, prolonged and of greater volume. Is
attributed by the court to the partial ex-
piosion of two or more Of the forward
magazines
The evidence Of the divers establishes
that the afterpart of the ship was prac-
tically intact and sank in that condition a
very few minutes after the explosion. The
forward part was completely demolished
Upon the evidence of a concurrent exter-
nal cause the finding of the court Is as
follows:
AT frame II the outer shell OF the ship,
from q point eleven and one-half feet from
the middle lire of the ship and six feet
above the keel when in its FORMAL position,
has been forced up as to be now about
four feet above the surface of the wafer;
therefore about thirty-four feet above

continuation of the same plating extending
! forward.
At Frame Is the vertical keel is broken
in two and the fat keel bent into an an
gle similar to the angle formed by the
outside bottom plates. This break is now
about six feet below the surface of the
water and about thirty feet above its nor
NAL position.
In the opinion of the Court this effect
could have been produced only by the eX-
pic sion of a mine situated under the bot
tom of the ship, at about Frame Is, and
somewhat on the port side Of the ship.
The conclusions Of the Court are:
That the loss of the Maine not in
any respect due to fault or negligence on
the part Of any of the officers or members
Of her crew.
That the ship was destroyed by the ex-
plusion of a submarine mine, which caused
the partial explosion of two or more OF
her forward magazines; and that no evil
derce las been obtainable fixing the re-
sponsibility for the destruction of the Maine
upon any person or persons.
/ have directed that the finding Of the
Court of Inquiry and the views of this
Government thereon be communicated to
the Government of Her Majesty, the Queen
Regent, and 1 do not permit myself to
doubt that the sense OF justice Of the Span
ish nation will dictate a course of action
suggested by honor and the friendly reia-
lions IF the two governments.
1t will be the duty of the Executive TO
advise the Congress Of the result, and in
the meantime deliberate consideration Is
invoked. WILLIAM MCKINLEY

HELD UP BY TRAMPS.


Trenton, oct. 27.-Two men were shot
and two others were robbed by a gang
tramps along the tracks Of the Penn
sylvania railroad, on rhe outskirts of
the city. one of the men shot was
Daniel Barry, printer, whose home is
at Danville Ills, and the other was
William Cowan, an iron worker, of
Philadelphia.
Barry and Cowan were stealing a
ride on a freight train, and as the train
slowed up at the coal shutes a number
of tramps ordered each to hold up his
hands. Almost before the demand
could be compiled with the tramps be-
gan firing. BARRY was shot in the breast
and Cowan in the side. Both men were
taken to ST. Francis Hospital. The
bullet was extracted from Barry's
breast. Both men are expected to re-
cover
The object of the holdup was robbery.
Cowan's pockets were ri1ed, but the
tramps secured nothing, as Cowan had
no money on his person. Barry had
some bills in his back pocket, which the
tramps failed to secure. The two other
men held up were Poles, and the tramps
took from them all the money they had,
a small amount.
The place where the shooting and
robbery took place is practically in

headquarters there. The spot is con-
sidered a very dangerous one to visit.
