i'm regard to the Manchester
Waterloo base ball game at the latter
place last Wednesday, the Waterloo
Reporter says: The base ball game at
Home Park yesterday between the Man
chester team and 9 picked team repre-.
senting Waterloo attracted crowd Of
800 or 400 people. Tho game was won by
Waterloo by score Of 12 to 8. The
score hardly tells how one.sided the
game was, and the playing was decided
y monGtonous at times. Waterloo far
outclassed the Manchester team, and
although the boys from the latter place
played hard and well, they were not q
match for the expert and seasoned
players opposed to them. Harvey and
Cunningham were in the points for
Waterloo and N. Malven and Moore
for Manchester. The features of the
game were the batting.of the Waterloo
team, the first base play of Tracy, the
catching Of Cunningham, and the cap
ture Of high foul fly after long,
bard run by Moore, the Manchester
catcher. The Manchester team was one
Of the most gentlemanly aggregationa
that ever visited Waterloo, and their
conduct on and off the field was the
subject Of much favorable comment
from thpse who witnessed the game
BY way pf explanation II may be added
that the 1picked team representing
Waterlos" was composed for the most
spast, Of Qelwsin PLAYERS.

AWAITING AN ANSWER
To FOrcib1e Presentations Recent,
Made to the Turkish Governments

To FOrcibIe Presentations Recently
Made to the Turkish Government.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE an
nounced intention of the Turkish gov
eminent to transfer the conduct of the
negotiations respecting the American
indemnity claims from Constantinople
to Washington has not been manifest
ed as yet in any official form. The
department of state is thoroughly sat-
isfied with the manner in which Mr..
Griscom, the United States charge at
Constantinople, has conducted his
work and has no disposition to change
its methods in the middle of a nego-
tiation such as this. There have been
no recent exchanges of notes or even
of verbal representations respecting
the American demands and possibly
this temporary lull may be the foun-
dation for the supposition that the ne
gotiations have been transferred TO
Washington.
at this particular juncture the
United States government had the
last say and is now awaiting a re-
Spouse from the Turkish government
to very forcible presentation of the
reasons why it should redeem the sui
tan's promise made to Mr.. Strauss
and to his predecessors to pay for the
American missionary property de-
Stroyed.
