New York. August ss.-A letter to the
Associated Press from Havana says that
since the beginning OF the year every
week In Cuba has lent different COM
plexion 10 the political hue Of the island
but that there has probably been more
pronounced change In sentiment and Of

American occupation.
Tne general opinion that was formerly
In favor Of Immediate Independence has
been considerably modified aud some OF

occupation for at least q year or two
longer. Others so even further and desire

YELLo W FEVER IN CUBA.

Havana, August 2s.-Owing to the
development Of five cases of yellow fever
of mild type among the United States
troops at Cabanas fortress, the contin-
gent there was removed today to a camp
about mile away. 1t is believed that
this will prevent any general outbreak.
Ii Is quite certain that the sickness was
introduced by men who had >frequented
barrooms and other unsanitary places.
Only two cases Of yellow fever now
remain among the Omitted States troo ps
at Puerto Principe.
La Lncha says editorlally today. "Jus-
tice demands an admission that the
Americans have done their best in the
adm Illustration, taking into account the
special necsssities of the Cuban people. -

in certain quarters for his efforts to

Walter Burnham is being slapped at
through the same interested sources as a
wrecker and as a man who had been will
ing to disrupt the New England League
by turning over the Brockton team to p.
7. Powers of the Eastern League after
the Syracuse team had gone to pieces
and Mr.. Powers was hunting for players
to take the positions left vacant by the
other men.
Mr.. Finn was quoted in the Sunday
Globe as feeling that Newport deserved
credit for keeping this league going.
Monday night John Carney OF the
Manchesters told Mr.. Burnham that Mr..
Finn was exhibiting a letter sent by Mr..
the transfer of the Brockton team. it
was shortly before that that Portland
paper had made q statement about the
matter.
Mr.. Burnham then wrote to President
Powers and the following letter was sen.
in reply by Mr.. Powers:

My dear Burnham:
Yours to hand and surprised to learn
that Finn has tried to iniure you. Yes

MAJUBA HILL AND THE TRANS

(From the National Rsview.)

(From the National Rsview.)
Under Lord Carnavon the British flag
was hoisted over the Transvaal to save 1t
among other things-from being over
whelmed by the Zulus, or from dissolv-
ing In mere bankruptcy. The promises
which went with that annexation were,
on the british side. careiessly remembered
and only half fulfilled Yet under the
British flag the country grew fest in ma
terial prosperity, and British arms des-
troysd the fierce native tribes which
threatened its existence. Mr.. Gladstone,
in his Midlothian speeches, attacked
British policy IN the Transavai, but when
he assumed power In 1880 he found he
must accept the very policy he had at
tackled. England, he announced. by the
establishment OF the Queens supremacy,
had given pledge to the large native
populations of thu TransyaAl, and that
pledge could not be broken. Whiting
later to the represen tntiyes of the dissat-
isfied Roers IN the Transvaal, he declared
that "obligations had been contracted,
especially. though not exelusiely, toward
the native population, which cannot be
set aside"
Mr.. Gladstone went ON to say that
Cooking into the circumstances both of
the Iransyaal and the rest of South

linquish her sovereignty over the Trans
wall" Now, within a tow weeks of writ

Jiminez, the revolutionary aspirant to
the presidency of the republic of Santo
Domingo, arrived here with his two
sons, today by the South coast boat, bu

refused to grant newspaper interview
alleging that the press invariably mis-
represented him.
A large crowd of Dominican sympa-

Taunton Made It Interesting at
Times.
Last Game of Season
Today.
Manchester Again Administers
Defeat to Newport.

Instead Of having scrap with our oil d
friend Mike Finn yesterday, the Taun-
tons staid over with us q couple of days
and gave those VINO assembled In their
honor a gerry good entertainment. We beat
the Tauntons but II Mr.. Kearns had not
as he always does here, proved pretty
much OF good thing we never would
have done 1t in the world. The Phenoms
coupled their fine exhibition of stick
work with fielding which was not SO fine
and the Squawbetty Outoasts were
thus enabled to make the game rather
interesting at times. The start was very
much against us. Kellogg struck out at
the send off. but Jim Smith let a couple
go by him, and then o'Connor came
along with two base hit and there was
trouble. Jim Smith threw Curtice out
and "Williams" hatted O'Connor In.
| Carter forced the Taunton third baseman
out, but the visitors had start Of four
runs. Four did not however prove to be
great many.
In our half Spratt flied out to Vought
and Noblit drove q swift one straight
into his hands. John Smith hated to see
1t go without getting one of the tallies
back and boosted tbs ball over right field
fence for two bases. Conroy hit one
down to left field sign boards and Johns
run was earned. Jim Smith popped one
up for Buster Burrill. Mr.. Flanaghan
smut the visitors out the next two innings
and In the third the Phenoms acquired
four runs and the lead. A base on balls
was followed by two hits, q couple of
errors and another hit. These happenings
made us one good.
Three more came to be in the fourth.
Vought threw one Tom Flanaghan
pushed down to him a tribe low and
then a bouquet of base hits, which Spratt,
the Messrs. Smith and Sullivan favored,
us with did the rest.
The Tauntous attempted TO make Ii
very disagreeable in. the fifth. Kellogg
got away with bunt and Vought landed
one outside the diamond. Flanaghan
landed another In the small of Hobart
Writings back and the bases were full
with no one out. Buster Burrill made
safety and two runs scored. O'Connor
found the ball for O. single. Curtice was
thrown out by pitcher, but Burrill in
attempting to score was caught at the
plate by 5prRtt. Brady went to bat In
place of "Williams".~ and got one to
Spratt, swho threw him out. The result
of this skirmish was three runs for the
Herringtovn people.
Mr.. Drinkwatsr Of Cumberland spelled
Tom In the box and prevented any run
getting in the sixth. In the seventh
though the. visitors got ahead again.
Vought walked, was advanced to second
by Whiting and took third on Burrill's
single. o'Connor hit one to "Giant"
Conroy who threw badly to the plate
letting Vought in. O'Connor also sue
cseded In scoring. These were all the tai.
lies the visitors got The lead didn't last
long. Sullivan and Pulsifer singled
and Purrinton advanced teen with a
sacrifice. Spratt brought two of them In,
and George Noblit earned another run
with three Dagger. In the eighth a

TRANSIT OF ARMS.
Cape Colony Discusses
the Question.
Evidently a State Of Extreme
Tension Exists.
Premier Promises State
To Be Neutral.
Orange Free State Denies Inten-
tion Of Making War.

Cape Town, August 2s.-The Cape
House of Assembly is again debating the
question Of the transit of arms intended
for ethe Orange Free State and presum-
ably the Transvaal. Evidently state
of extreme tension exists. as every speech
made today was received with almost
absolute silence in the chamber.
The Hon. william p Shrciner, the pre-
mier. personally appealed 10 his follow
ers to refrain from answering the criti-
cisms of the opposition lest they should
drop words of i'll feeling.
The entire position 10 support the mo-
tion for adjournment was inads by the Rk
Hon. Sir John Gordon Sprigg, the
former premier, who repeated the
arguments he had used In the previous
debate asked the Premier what action
the Cape Cabinet proposed to take in
tho matter. He said that the recent speech
Of the British secretary OF state for the
colonies, MIR. Joseph Chamberlain, at
Birmingham, Eng, had forced oil to the
conclusion that South Africa was on the
brink Of war, unless the Transvaal met
the British demands. In his opinion
ths Cape government ought to follow the
example of Portugal at DelaRoa Bay ana
refuse to permit the transit of arms as
long as the crisis lasted. After Sir John
had finished,a pause occurred, the house
waiting for the premier's reply. Final
ly MIR. Sohreiner rose and declared that
under the customs convention. the Orange
Free State was justified In importing
aims through Cape Colony and he did not
intend to tear up that convention, know
ing as he did, that there would be no war.
"In the event OF war;" he said, AZ
would not lack the true imperial spirit"
MIR. SchTeiner then read a letter from
President Stein Of the Orange Free state
denying any intention on the part of
that government to take up arms In any
aggressive or offensive manner against
the British government or the Cape Colo
ny. 1t was the fixed policy OF the Orange
Free State said President Stein, never
to take up arms except when attacked or
in support of its treaty obligations. /.
The letter created a profound impress
sion as clearly showing the purpose Of
the importation OF firearms. Several
members dwelt upon this phase; and
Mr.. Sohreiner promised in case of future
oonsignments, TO consult the governor of
Cape Colony, Sir Alfred Miner. which
he admitted he had Lot previously done.
He also asserted that the Cape Colony
would maintain neutrality in the event
of war
