RED HOT POLO.
Lively Game at Providence Last Eyen-
 ing.

Providence, R. l.. March 13-The polo game between Providence and New Ha- ven tonight was a red-hot one In the first period Providence played with great speed. Twice the Blues caged the ball, only to have it roll out, and the three for Providence stayed in. It was pretty even in the second, but in the third Bone, Leydon and Whipple all at tackled the Providence cage and scored three times, cutting the lead of four down to one It was fierce pace in that period and things went wrong for the Grays. Cunningham managed to score one, but Bone followed with a quick one on the next rush and from that time to the finish it was anybody's game. Hobe Whiting and Cunningham had collision in the last period, which forced Whiting to leave the surface af- ter plucky attempt to continue play ing. His injured knee was painfully wrenched. Score: Providence 5, New Haven 1. Bushes: Cunningham 8, Bone ', Whipple g. Stops: Heffernan 23, La tions 37. Fouls: Lations, Murtagh. Ref cree: Lee. Timer: Perrin.

WILL TAKE CUBAN CENSUS
U. s. Government to Ascertain the Pop- ulattOn of Islnnd.


 Washington, March 13.-The admins tration has decided to take census of Cuba as complete and careful as that taken in the United States A census is found necessary to determine who are citizens and qualified electors, before an election is held to establish a representa- 1 tive government. This census will not be taken through or by any organization claiming to be representatives of the Cuban people, but by authority and un- der direction of the military authority of the United States government, assist ed by such officers as may be necessary to carry on the work.
 The government of the United States has not recognized any assembly or or | ganization, person, or faction in Cuba as authorized to speak for the Cuban | people. It will continue to deal with 1 individuals and municipalities as it finds them. No government has been recog- nized and none will be until one has been constituted which is representative of the citizenship of the whole island. The action of the Cuban assembly" has given the government at Washing ton no concern whatever. It is known that the $3,O00,000 now on it's way to Cuba will be acceptable to the soldiers of the Cuban army. It matters not whether Gomez has been deposed or not, or whether he accepts his deposition. The government will deal with the in- dividuals of the Cuban army and the money will be paid to the soldiers by United States officers. Gomez has been the agent through whom the negotia- tions were carried on. The acquiescence of the Cuban assembly, was not sought nor in any way considered.
 The payment of the $3000,00 to the Cuban soldiers will form a basis of the proposed census, as considerable infor- mation concerning the Cubans will be taken at that time. The name, resi- dence, proposed residence, and other personal history of each Cuban soldier will be taken when he gets his money and gives up his gun. This information also will be of use in the future should 1t happen that the men who are thus paid fail to keep their parole and main- tain the peace. The muster rolls and papers connected with all the Cuban or ganizations also will become the prop erty of the United States and be retain- ed for future use. When the complete census is taken the same information concerning each citizen will be obtained as that from each soldier.

EXCITEMENT IN HAVANA.
Police Unable to Suppress a Conner
 Demon strRtiOn.


 Havana, March 13.-A public manifes- tation of the different patriotic clubs, in which the general public was to assists was called for o'clock this afternoon. Those who were to take part were to- march, with music and banners, to. Quinta, there to express to General GO~s meg their adherence to him and theirl disapproval of the action of the assem-a bly, in removing him from office as com- mander-in- chief.
 When Senor Mora, civil governor Ofl Havana learned of the preparations for the outpouring of the people, he di- rected the police to prevent the parade. They tried to do so At first little att tention was paid to these efforts. When a policeman seized a flag or made an individual arrest, the others in the line would simply march on, jeering and yelling Down with the police,' Long live Gomez" Death to the assembly,"
 There were more than hundred po- lice within ten blocks, but they did not act together. Indeed, they were thor- oughly scared and one policeman ran to Central Park, where the Tenth regulars were camped The Twentieth regulars were sent at double quick with fixed bayonets to protect the policemen and charged down upon a crowd of thou- sand. Everybody ran, including the poe lice, and men, women and children tun- bled over each other in the rush. Two minutes later the avenue was clear for blocks, but not a person was hurt by the regulars.

corroborated the testimony of the pre- l canning roast beef.
 Arthur Meeker, the manager or Ar mour & Co.'S Packing house, testified that the accumulation of canned goods was held in Chicago, but the firm had also ] large stock in Europe. It had on hand at the outbreak of the Spanish war 0OO pounds of canned roast beef in Chicago and 140,000 pounds in New York It sold 2,000000 pounds to the government and also 250,000 pounds of corned beef.
 The witness stated that the com plaints about beef furnished the gov- ernment had been received at minor agencies, but none of them were of suf- ficent importance to be sent to the home office. Refrigerated beef had been furnished to camps at Chickamauga, Jacksonville, Tampa, Fernandina, Lake land and Port Tampa. He said that no chemicals were used to preserve the beef.
 How do you account for the dissat- isfaction that is alleged on the part of the soldiers in the use of canned roast beef?"
 II think there were several reasons the heat which caused the fat and the jelly to melt, and the meat to separate come apart in pieces. And there was no salt in it, no pepper, no condiments"
 The witness stated that Powell was a meat dealer, he understood, in New York city. Powell visited the New York office and said he had a process for preserving refrigerated beef for a period without ice. It was quite prop osition to handle beef in a warm climate, and the New York office sent Powell to Florida to experiment. The experiment was not satisfactory to the government, and that was the end of it.
 s. s. Conway, general superintendent of Armour & Co. said that salt, salt petre and sugar were used in preparing hog products and sometimes borax for shipping purposes, and none of these were used in connection with the prep aration of beef.
 w. T. Walton, superintendent of the canned meat department of Armour & Co. described the process of canning and the methods of detecting swellers and faulty cans. The only agent relied upon as preservative was sterilization.
 The court then adjourned until to- morrow morning.

A Decidedly Novel Claim.

A claim once made on the explorer,
Cameron, in the neighborhood of Ga'
boon, Africa, shows the peculiar work
ings of the native Africans mind.
Some of Cameron's possessions proved
unduly attractive to native, and ne
determined on transferring the owner
ship to himself. He accordingly paid
another native 5000 TO procure for him
the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money and did
his best to earn it, but Mr.. Cameron
had perversely locked up the very art'-
sles that the fellows employer had set
his heart upon. The man could not car
ry out his bargain, and neither did ne
feel that he could part with the money.
Therefore he ran off with it. WHAT
more logical than that the man who
was the loser by 5000 should expect the
explorer to make the loss good? This ne
assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr.. Cameron and told
him the story, demanding in the first
place the 5000 which he, Cameron, By
locking up his goods, had compelled the
complainant to lose, and, secondly, the
actual price of the goods themselves,
which, but for these arbitrary measures,
would now have been in his possession.
It is not stated that his expectations
were realized. d.-Watchman.

sterne,. Destttution.

Laurence Sterne, the writer, was the
victim of the intensest poverty. A little
time before his death, being in state
of destitution, he went one evening to
borrow e5 from his friend Garrick.
Upon arriving, be heard music and
knew that a party was going on. He
heard the merry laughter, and, gently
replacing the uplifted knocker, retraceo
his steps.
We never feel our mjseries SO keenly
as when contrasted with the joys OF
others, and it is only then that we re-
alize Wordsworth picture:
And homeless near thousand homes I stood
And near thousand tables pined for food.
Another story of this writer does not
evoke so much sympathy. 1t was known
that Sterne used his wife very i'll, and
in talking with Garrick one day in fine
sentimental style of conjugal love and
fidelity he said, "The husband who be-
haves unkindly to his wife deserves to
have his house burn down over his
head. -
eff you think so,'' said Garrick
quietly, Il h>pe yours is we'll insured. :"
