ports OF the Baseball Games.
J. Edward Barrus of this city, who is
now engaged in the construction of
large hotel in the Bahamas has written
several letters to his old friends and
college mates in this city. He has re-
Gently written to Harry NJ. Wright and
his letter contains a graphic description
Of the famous winter resort. Mr.. Barrus
is in charge Of a large gang of workmen
who are employed on the building. The
construction of the hotel is under the
supervision of a firm of New York con-
tractors in which the Standard Oil mag
mates are interested.
The island where Mr.. Barrus is at
present is at Nassau, N. p, in the Ba-
hamas group. He describes the tenn
perature of the islands to be warm but
comp aratively even ell the year round,
the Thermometer rarely registering over
80 degrees. Frosts are never known in
the neighborhood and tropical fruits
such as oranges, pineapples, bananas
and cocoanuts grow in abundance.
Barrus writes that he would like to
see the Worcesters play a few games Of
base ball. and as he is known as a fan
of the most pronounced type, his friends
have been sending him the accounts Of
the games as they appear in The Spy.
He writes that he is delighted with the
graphic descriptions of the games that
appear in The Spy, and charges his
friends not to fail in sending him the
paper regularly. The national game has
become very popular through the eff
forts of Mr. Barrus and he has organ
lied a team that defles anything on the
islands. He expects to remain on the
island about a year, when he will start
for Cuba where his firm intends build
ing a hotel similar to the one being con-
structed in the Bahamas

Providence, May 27.-Providence and
Worcester played an exceptionally hard
fought and close contest today. 1t was
the first time the two teams had ever
crossed bats. and the two cities being
natural rivals, each. did its best to win.
Aside from the fact that each team had
an off inning when runs were punched
so thickly as to allow the scorer little
leisure time, the game was well played.
Worcester had slightly the better of it
as to fielding. The batting of both teams
was equal but Providence's hits were
the more opDortune. Yeager made a
three-bagger that was a beauty and Hor-
ton cracked out one for two bags. Har-
rington, who was injured in yesterday S
game is out for two weeks. Horton took
his place at the third corner and only
got two chances one of which he ac-
CeDted The score.

McTigue first. Carney HIT a single,
scoring O'Reilly. McTlgue went around
the circuit, while Georgetown men
were dallying with Carney between
the bases. An error by Moran, sacri-
flee, single and force out, sent Kenney
over in the fifth. The last run came
in the eighth. 1t was a drive by Car
ney which went through a hole in the
netting.
Georgetown got two in the fifth on
a single by Bach, bad throw by Fox
Mccarthy. In the sixth they got their
last run, on bad throw by Fox and
Bach's triple which caromed off DYER
shines and went out of Kenney's reach.
Two double plays spoiled incipient runs
in the seventh and ninth. The score:

STILL THEY LOSE.

Cambridge, May 27.-Princeton defeated
Harvard this afternoon on Soldiers field
for the second time this season. and
again the Tigers rolled up double figures,
the score being z to 2. Hillebrand's
pitching was superb, and the Harvard
batters could do little with his curves. On
the other hand, Fitz was batted for a
home run and two doubles, while singles
were numerous. The visitors began scor-
ing in the second inning through heavy

Harvard scored two solitary runs in the
fifth, but they were both presented by
Princeton, During the remainder of the
game Princeton hit Fitz almost at will
and scored frequently. Score:

Gomez Is asked by the so-called Cuban AS
semhlv II no will obey its orders. He answers,
ayes. If | think them for the good of the people
of Cuha. otherwise not" The chief General
Of Cuban forces thus declares as plainly as pos
sible that the so-called Assembly has no legal
authority from the people of Cuba, and is not
in the least entitled 10 he called government
Then SanC1lilv declares that Gomez has bandits
nm his staff while other leading Cubans de-
clare that there are scarcely any men in the
Assembly who are entitled to confidence or
who represent the Cuban people 1t is growing
more obvious every day that the only republic
that would exist in Cuba. If United States
forces should now be withdrawn, would be one
poised on the bayOnets Of some armed body,
and probably a virtual dictatorship of the sol
der most popular with the fighting men
Nor is this surprising. Men are never eX-
pectcd to build ships or houses until they have
had some instruction and experience in build
inc The Cubans have never had even the
slightest chance TO learn what free government
means or how IL ia created or maintained. All
know what has become of most Of the repub-
lies the world has seen. Even the American
Revolution might have ended the same way
had Washington been the stuff of which dicta-
tors are made, or had not the colonists learned
nv many years experience in the partial gov
eminent of the Colonies the elementary prin-
ciples Of self government. But republic OF
the Central American species is not the free
government which the United States has pro
POSED. Elections tempered by revolutions die
tators disguised as Presidents, would not make
Cuba a better neighbor or more prosperous
land
There has been no chance as vet for the sub
stantial Inhabitants OF Cuba to show what they
are capable Of doing in the way of self-govern
ment or what they want. II would be wrong
TO PREJUDICE the case against them because OF
the behavior Of those who claim TO be the civil
heads OF the insurrection. but who do not even
represent or govern General Gomez. Equally
It would be wrong 10 PREJUDICE the case in their
favor before they have given any indication OF
their capacity or their wishes. Evidently it Is
going 10 take time 10 find out how far they are
prepared for the labors and responsibilities OF
self-government and how far they want IT,
