NEW BRITAIN DOWNED.
The Closest and Most Exciting Game of
the Season.

Although the polo season is getting
| near the end there is no lack of enthu-
siasm among the followers of the
game who keep up the record for at
tendance in a wonderful manner. A
large crowd journeyed to the Bowling
hall last night with the expectation of
seeing a stiff and exciting game, and
in this they were not disappointed. In
spite of the fact that the Blues Were
again crippled by the unavoidable alb
sence of Whipple, it did not deter the
remainder of the team from playing a
star game. Dawson occupied Whip
pies position In the rush line and al
though he played with considerable
vim and determination, proved a weak
point and was unable to cope with
Bones fast work. In the first period
both teams played a hard and fast
game, but neither side was able to
pierce the defense and get the ball past
Lations and Burgess The first tally
was made by Dawson from a beautiful
pass by Leydon. Just before the close
OF this period McCilvray eluded La
tions, and the teams again stood on
equal terms. The last period was a
battle royal for supremacy. During
this inning Bone sent in some hard
and well directed drives, but Bur-
CESS was doing brilliant work and re-
fused to let them pass. Both teams
kept up the battle with might and main
but only got the ball within reach of
the cage to have it sent to the right
about again. Things began to look
like another overtime contest until
nearly two minutes to time, when Bone
got the ball, carried 1t through the
Reds defense and poked 1t past Bur-
CESS. At this piece of clever work the
crowd fairly yelled themelves hoarse,
and cheered and re-cheered the favorite
rusher, who had worked all through
with an earnestness to win that was
beyond question. This was all the
scoring, and the gong sounder shortly
afterward. Hobe Whiting played a
hard defense, and did some beautiful
passing and shooting. Lations was
heartily cheered during the game, as
was also Burgess. The only foul call
ed was on Doherty, with whom Lush
was very lenient. Russell and McGil-
vray played well together.
The score was 2 to in favor Of New
Haven.

IDLENESS MAKES BANDITS.
Poor Policy of Disseminating Public
Works Department in Havana.


Works Department in Havana.
Santiago, March 10.-The result OF
the policy inaugurated at Havana Of
discontinuing public works in this
province and throwing men out of en-
ployment, are beginning to show. Yes
terday six bandits were captured in the
neighborhood Of Concepione, all of
whom were formerly workers in the
road gangs. They say they have no
money and must either rob or starve.
They have been lodged in the city
jail. but considerable sympathy is dis
played in their behalf by the populace.
Much Of the same sort Of thing is
happening in the district of Holguin,
where a brush between bandits and
gendarmes resulted in the killing of one
of the former. Nevertheless 1t is not
expected that those troubles will take a
serious turn owing to the probability
that work will be resumed early next
week.

Rear Admiral Kautz has gone to Samoa
on the Philadelphia to restore the status
quo existing before the last emeute to
depose Mataafa and to restore Malietoa
Tanus even if force is necessary to ac-

the admiral has gone to Samoa to meet
the treaty obligation that is imposed
upon the United States to send a war;
ship there, at least occasionally, as an
evidence of the interest held by the
United States in the islands.
He will carefully examine the condi-

the provisional government, reporting
all the facts to Washington. 1t is not
expected that he will be a disturbing ell

and protect life and property.
Full reports from the officials con-

department concerning the recent trou-
Bile at Samoa, and negotiations based on

piosion are evident in all the suburbs OF

were shattered and doors battered in.
Later reports show that OF the seven
