BARS IN HAVANA.
Why the Landlord BewaiIs the Pass
ing of spanish Rule.

ing OF spanish Ruie.
(From the New Orleans Tines-Democrat.)
Speaking of hot times in Havana said
another resident who lately returned from
the island capital, II was very much i'm
pressed by statement which was made
to me by the proprietor of bar and cafe
near the Hotel Gran Pasaje. In Havana,
you know, or perhaps you don't know, all
the bars are supplied with small tables and
chairs, where their patrons can sit down
and drink and talk at leisure. The YER
tical drinking generally INDUCED in here
is almost unknown. Well, | fell in with
rather a jolly crowd one evening, and we
made the rounds of number Of bars, all
gorgeously furnished and all apparently
doing land Office business. 1t was hard
thing to find table unoceupied. and the
place near the Gran Pasaje was particular
ly crowded. We were introduced to the
proprietor, who proved to be a pleasant
fellow, and incidentally I congratulated
him upon his good fortune. He shrugged
his shoulders.
80" Tt is fair, senor,' he admitted, but
nothing to what 1t Was when the Span
iaIds were here l was surprised, and
he volunteered some particulars. Since
the Americans came he said, we have
been forbidden to sell liquors to private
the private soldiers had no money to buy.
Consequently the most of my trade has al
ways been among the officers, and I have
had a good chance to compare the two ma
tionalities. During the time of Weyler
and Blanco this place was a mint You
could not believe the business l did. II
was marvellous. Every table was crowded
day and night, and nothing was too fine
or expensive for my customers You could
m ba char
drank. and, as 1 say, the thing never stop
ped a minute. but went right on from
night till morning and from morning till
night.
- Folks claim that the Spanish soldiers
were paid beggars' wages. That may be
so, but the Spanish officers certainly had
| money, and plenty of it. How did they
get it? Quien sabe? Now that my Gus
toners are Americans, business has fallen
off 70 per cent. The crowds seem large,
but they spend little. A party of officers
come in; they buy a few glasses of beer,
and talk for an hour. Those were good
times when the Spaniards were lighting
the Cubans. Everybody knows that Wey-
lers army could have ended the war in q
week. but nobody wanted it done. 1t was
too profitable They did Just enough fight
| ing to keep up the force-that is to say,
about one skirmish every ten days, which
the correspondents kindly made into at
| least twelve battles. Meanwhile the off,
| GERS and their friends drank wine. They

The secnnd Gnme.

Soon after the second game was called
a black cloud of huge proportions OBJ
scured the sun and gave warning that a
miniature waterspout was at hand. At
the conclusion of the third inning it be-
came too dark for further playing, and
the game was called by Umpire Mcdonald.
McGraw rushed up with a scowl on his
face that caused Mcdonald to shiver in
his shoes.
For what reason was the game called"
demanded McGraw.
at was too dark for me to see," replied
Mcdonald, meekly
THAT should make little difference to
you" said McGraw. From your miserable
exhibition here today l don't believe you
can see when the sun is shining"
The score was tie when the game was
called. Each side had made one run. The
Orioles secured one in the first ON singles
by Holmes and Brodie, and an error by
McFarlan. The Senators secured theirs in
the third on base on balls to Kittridge
and McFarlans two bagger to centre. The
game viii be played here on the Senator's
next visit.

for receiving offers, the incentive will
reach as high as $50 600. Jeffries, who has
reached San Francisco already, has slim
ulated interest there in the battle by his
presence. Charles Newman, Western
promoter of boxing, offers to give 900
purse for the mill, and has deposited
$4,000 certified check to insure his sinceri-
ty. Newman wants to pull off the mill at
the Velodrome in San Francisco, which
was built several years ago for bicycle race
meets. The other offer has been made by
a syndicate of Frisco sports, who have
concluded to give like amount for the
fray. 1t is not likely that any notice will
be taken of these bids unless they are sent

receive all offers for the match. The

Y. M. C. A. voLLEY BALL.
First of Series of Games Won by
LeMut's Tenm


LeMnt's Team.
The first of a summer series of volley
ball games was played last night in the
Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium by teams cap
tanned, respectively, by Preston and Le-
Mat, and the latter won by the score of
43 to 49,
The game was hotly contested and proved
very enjoyable to a large number of spec
tators. Twenty minute halves were played.
The first half ended with the score of "a
to u in favor of Preston's players. In the
second half LeMat got his men together in
earnest and by strong uphill playing, cut
down the lead so that near the call of
time the Preston players lead by a sim
gle score. AT this point with the score 3s
to 81 against LeMat's team, Atkinson, by
his clever return OF swift service, scored
six points and won the game for his side.
Captain Preston played his usual good,
all-around game and he had able assist
ance from Peck and Ridenour. For the
winning side, in addition to Athnson's
clever work, Captain LeMat's gingery play
ing and Shepherds splendid service were
noteworthy features.
The officials were 2. F. Jenkins, referee;
Ernest Morsell and A. NJ. Bum, umpires.

PALMER AND M'GovERN.
An International Match Likely to H.
Made.

New York, July 3.-Unless there is a
squabble over the weight question Ameri-
can sports will soon receive an opportuni-
" to witness ''Pedlar' Palmer, the crack
English bantam champion, in a serious
contest. DR.. Ordway, the American rep.
resentative of the National Club, OF Lon
don, arrived here from England today on
the Campania. Ordway's coming was has
tened principally to make match be-
tween McGovern and Palmer, having been
authorized by the latter TO do business for
him. When Ordway left London week
ago he saw Palmer. who told him to see
McGovern and induce the latter to visit
England. II this consideration cannot be
brought about satisfactorily Palmer agreed
TO fight here. About two hours after the
Campania got to her dock. Ordway re-
ceived cable despatch from Palmer in
which the Englishman said that he would
clash with McGovern at lie pounds, weigh
in at the usual time. He added that If
this met with Terry's approval he would
sail for this country the latter part of this
month and agree to box about the last week
in August.
