SPANIARDS ARE BITTER.
Even Tried TO Rob Bodies of Victims of
the Maine.

Chicago, Ill, March PA Havana
correspondent of the Chronicle says:
1.-THE Spanish are becoming more bitter
toward us day by day, and they lose no
opportunity to snub, insult and even at
tack us without the slightest proyoca-
ton. This was more than fully demon
strated the other evening, when / was
attacked near the consulate by Spanish
volunteers, and my existence today is
due wholly to the interference of Gen.
Lee, who was passing at the time.
The real American hero here outside
Of Gen. Lee, is Ensign Brumby, who has
charge of the search for bodies on the
Maine. His manly defense in protecting
the bodies of the dead from being NAL
treated at the hands of the Spanish I'M
dertakers has made him the hero, and
at the same time the bitter foe of the
Spanish.
in removing the body of one of the
victims from the sunken vessel it became
entangled in the wreckage. The Spanish
undertakers who had been given the con-
tract TO prepare these bodies for burial
did not hesitate to attempt to dismember
the body so as to remove it from the en-
tanglement. Ensign Brumby observed
them and cautioned them to handle the
body with the same care that they would
one of their own.
THE admOnition was not needed,
WhereupOn Brumby proceeded to admins
ter a sound thrashing to the Spaniard.
THE chastisement was, witnessed by
one of the harbOr police, who, on calling
TO the ensign, was informed that if he
(the police would come aboard the wreck
he would be given some of the same
medicine
when the incident was reported at
the consulate Gen. Lee evidenced much
chagrin and praised Ensign Brumby for
his manliness.
The way these Spaniards have treated
the dead is something terrible It has
been reported that they have been spit
ting tobacco juice and throwing dirt into
the collins when preparing them for
burial
1T has not stopped at this. Several in.
stances have been reported where they
have been caught robbing the dead and
one Spaniard is known who robbed the
body of one sailor of a money bag and
went to a saloon where he boasted of his
act and spent the money with Il number of
volunteers. Dozens of Spaniards are 60
ing about with knives taken from the bod
les of the dead.
THE Spanish board of inquiry that
made an attempt to survey the Maine
wreck has sent its report to Madrid. 1t
was published here and the verdict is that
the Maine was blown up by an explosion
i'll one of the forward magazines. This
everyone knows is a black iie."

BETTER HAVE PASSPORTS,
Advice Given by Consul General Lee to
Americans.

Washington, d. c., March 12.-ConsuI-
General Lee communicates to the state de-
partment information derived from the
passport bureau in Havana to the effect
that no changes will be made affecting
passports beyond holding the passports
presented for wise for twenty-fOur hours
before delivery. Although Americans are
allowed to land without passports, no one
can leave port or obtain passage ticket
by an outgoing vessel without presenting
a passport duly vi@ed by the government,
which is kept by the consignee of the YES
sci for police inspection on board when it
IS then returned to the passenger if in or
der.
The consul-general recommends that all
Americans intending to visit Cuba should
provide themselves with passports from
the department of state, which will serve
to identify them properly while in Cuba
and greatly facilitate their departure
when ready to leave the island.

who was master-at-arms of the battle
ship Maine, and who came to New York
in command of four other survivors who
been given shore leave and is living with
his brother-in-laW, Louis Heineke, in
Jersey City. He has been very guarded
in his statements to reporters. Police
Capt. Archibald McKaig says, however,
that to his friends Lead has said that
significant fact which has apparently
been overlooked, was that the launch of
the Maine, which was at a little distance
from the ship, blew up before the Maine

SPORTING EVENTS.

The baseball magnates thing they have
purified baseball. A seasons trial of the
new rules will tell. As in the past much
will depend on the efficiency of the UNI
pires If the club owners are earnest it
should be an easy matter to stop profanity
and unnecessary Kicking on the field
A few years back there was nothing Of
that sort, and but for the encOura cement
of the club owners the players would not
have become SO bOiSterOuS IN their en-
deayOr to win.
Ralph Bottenus, a brother Of the left
fielder, Billy Bottenus, who captained
the TorringtOn, Conn, club last season,
has gone to Klondike after gold.
Charlie Camel, claimed by Detroit, is
thinking of running team OF his own
at Milford. Mass, in the New England
league.
Tommy Kinslow may blossom forth
again as a backstop Of the Western
league.
Ed Cartwright has several offers from
minor leagues, but the salary induce
ments fall short of his figures.
Jimmy DOnnelly and Louis Bierbauer
Tim Hurst's eagle eye will be focused
this season.
Tim Hurst's contract with the st.
Louis club is an alright instrument,
bill of goods for one seasons service,
and one that the courts will not turn
down if Hurst is depOsed before October
10.
Though Matte I\ilroy showed but lit
tie promise as an Outfielder when he was
tried in the outer garden at Louisville,
he improved vastly in the Eastern
league, both as an outheder and bats
man.
The allegation that SteinfeId stops
grOunders with his shins recalls Char
ley Comiskey's accusation against Pete
Browning to the effect that the gladiator
was in the habit Of interrupting sun flies
with his face.
Tom Cooper, the Detroit Splinter, in
talking of training methods, says: Riders
differ greatly as to the amount of work
they can stand before they are well into
the season. Because Jimmy Michael
does this or that, and his dOings are eX-
plotted all over the country, you will find
many young riders trying to follow his
methods. In the first place, he trains for
middle distance racing and not for
spirits. What he can do and thrive on

Camilla spoke lightly, but an undercur-
rent of emotion could be perceived be-
meath the words. And so, after another
long interval of silence, they reached the
entrance of her fathers house, a vast
pile of building, even outWardly luxurious

Then days went by. The rector of st.
Polmycarp's knew no rest. He worked
indefatigably among his people, who were
of the huhbler sort of la boring folk, often
experiencing the bitter stress of poverty,
and now, in a sudden unforeseen reduc-
ton OF wages, struggling to keep the wolf
from the door. Help of every sort he
gave them, but, best of all, such brave
and CHEEKY counsel that they could not
