CONTRACTS FOR NOW sHIP

CONTRACTS FOR NEW SHIPS.

Base Bail Season Opens r,. j. :.

The baseball season III Newport
News will be opened this after
noon at o'clock with the game be-
tween Newport News and the Norfolk
Atlantic League team.
The inauguration of the season OF
1898 will also mark the opening of the
new baseball park in East End.
The interest manifested in this game
is perhaps greater than any in which
locals were billed to appear. The an
nouncement that popular Ed Leach
would occupy the box for Newport
News was received with pleasure by
the fans. and when the game is called
tomorrow the canocity of the grand

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Members
of the diplomatic corps say that no
question can be raised as to the right
of the United States to declare "a block

powers will accept 1T as binding.
n runlor was circulated during the

Austria. This was dismissed, ais

fcials. whose position would make
them aware of any such move
For several days the foreign en-
bassies and Legations have been aware
that the United States would make
an official declaration against priva-
teering and this was conveyed to them
tonight in the form Of a circular note.
AS a rule. this gives much satisfaction,
particularly to the CONNIE rcial powers,
as it Us felt to be only "a prelimina ry
step toward the enforced aba ndonme nt
