The United States consul at Montevideo,
Uruguay, has reported to the State De.
partment that Capt. William D. Evans, an
American citizen, as a mark of cordial ap-
probation to the city of Montevideo, bought
a triangular plaza at the junction of Cal
los Constituyente and Asamblea, and caused
ii to be improved at his own cost in park
like way, and gave it in perpetuity to the
city for park purposes.
The correspondence has been published
and the Junta pays the highest praise to
Captain Evans, not only for this agreeable
act of public spirit. but also for the num-
berless acts Of charity of large measure,
performed in manner liberal as it is unos-
tentatious. The consul says: 1T is mat
ter of known record that no American or
English born sailor, dying here, but was
given Christian burial in a permanent grave

MILWAUKEE. Wis. January 12.-H. D.
Quinn, president of the new American Base
Ball Association, says that he expects TO go
to New York next week, when the final
arrangements for the organization of the
league will be made He saws that two of
the western promoters have already signed
their $4,000 bonds. and that the remaining
two will sign within day of two
There Is evidently great deal more to the
new American Association than MANY of
the base ball magnates in the National
League care to admit. Acting President
Quinn of the American Association said
yesterday in Milwaukee,:
-Four of the western people have signed
the bonds for $4,000 EACH and each one
has put up $500 to carry on the work of
organizing, and the bonds will be taken east
within the next ten days and signed there
The money is up in the west, so our rivals
cannot say it is all boast. l have excellent
news from the east, in fact, matters have
progressed so far that we will call our
meeting within ten days and complete all
details of organization
The league magnates have laughed at
us about getting into New York, but wait
until we show our hand and see where the
laugh comes in. Don't be surprised when
you hear that Baltimore Is in the associa-
lioil. AS loI hC1ditilS dropping us IN BOS-

others off the track. We have lease of

prove that he is wrong
Eugene Demontreville. second baseman of
the Baltimore team. and who resides in this
city. said yesterday to an Evening Star re-
porter that every member of last year $
Orioles would stick to McGraw, whether he
remained with the National League or join
ed the American Association. Gene is
looking exceptionally well these days, and
impaired the important Information that
next season would be his last on the dia-
mond. When pressed for reasons he mere
ly said that he was tired of base ball and
wanted to quit. This will be news to De-
mont's friends. as they all believed he was
marked for a long career on the diamond
and that he loved the game well enough to
live on base balls instead of beefsteak and
chicken. The Star has all along maintained
that should McGraw and Robinson join the
American Association the entire Baltimore
team would go with them.
