Our AGENT In spain.

The London Daily News's Gibraltar
correspondent forwards an interesting
story by mail concerning Captain Fer
nandez of the Second Texas Rangers,
who is acting as confidential agent of
the United States.
He spent weeks in Spain passing as
a wealthy, pro-Spanish Mexican. He
was lionized in Madrid and Cadiz, and
he took dinner with Admiral Camara.
He inspected the latter's fleet and
learned important secrets, which he
communicated to Washington, and in
his own words to the correspondent he
'greened all the Spaniards. He adj
ded:
IT sent information of some kind ev-
cry day The United States knew of
the departure of Admiral Canara' s
squadron a week before hand they
know to a man the forces on board
and also the arms and ammunition.
They know exactly to a ton how mich
coal the Spaniards have. In fact, If
my people put to me any questions re-
garding the military and naval situa-
ton in Spain I think can answer it,
Capt. Fernando escaped arrest by
an hour. The Spaniards having dis
covered his identity, officers went to
his hotel at Cadiz to arrest him an
hour after he had sailed for Tangier,
whence he sailed for England and then
home.

won by only 139 pins, and the lowest
member ON the North Hudsons was only
two pins ahead of this, and it was gem

game that the only thing that saved them
their standing was the absence of the
North Hudson bowler. In the second

NEW JERSEY A

At the meeting of the Jersey City
League last night at Heyes alleys II was
decided after a spirited debate that in the
games rolled between the Linden and
Clio Wneelmen teams that the score
should stand. The Clos protested that
III Lindens were short a man when the
game began, but upon appearing on the
third frame he was entered, rolling eight
frames, which won. The Clos claimed
he had no right to roll, the members be-
ing III error. The Columbia Club pro-
tested against the action taken at the
last meeting in throwing out the two
games rolled between the Linden and
Ocean teams because of discrepancies in
which benefited Harry Bodine. who leads
in individual averages. His figures were
increased greatly in the extra games, as
he rolled a 200 average for the series.
George Dickson is only a few points be-
hind in the record. and the protest was
made in his interest. The league sus-
tanned him, and the last games were
thrown out and the previous games all
lowed to stand, with the exception Of the
credits, which were not to be counted. The
game set for tomorrow night between
the Clinton and Columbia Clubs was
postponed one week.
Tonight at the Peoples Palace alleys
the return games will be rolled between
the local five and the team of the TWEEN
ty-third Street Y. NJ. C. A. of New York.

the case last night. The home bowlers
