The last ball game of the season
was played between Wilmington
and Chester Athletics, at, Front
and Union streets yesterday, which
ended by Chester rolling up a score
of a to 2. The local boys had the
visitors beat but by many errors
gave the game over to them.
1t was the deciding game OF the
inter-city championship and a
large crowd gathered to see it.
George P-entiss pitched lor the To-
calls and if properly supported, the
game would have been won. Only
six hits were made off him, two OF
them being home runs.
Billy Day pitched for the visit.

they could do nothing with his de.

In the last h alf of the ninth inning
the visitors received scare, as it
10 oked like a garrison finish on the
part of the loc ais. but the best they
could do was to get one run over
the plate, having three men on
bases.

Little Waits is conceded 10 be the
master piece OF this brainv authors
mind. and promises to out rival all
previous efforts In writing this
play, Mr. Carter has departed from
his usual theme and culminated a
pen OF drawing of modern stage

heart and lacks any illusion to

DON CAESAR,

''Don Caesar de BaZan,' to be
presented at the Opera House next
Monday night bv Creston Clarke
and his company, is a play well
calculated to please popular taste.
and in these days Of unusual inter-
est in medieval romance, it Is sin
gular that the story of Spain under
the rule OF Carlos II should have
lain SO long unused. Mr.. Clarke
presents the version which Edwin
Booth so successfully exploited,
aud which seems to be accorded in
popular opinion the pla.c OF honor
among all that have been written
around the adventures of the ro-
mantle cavalier who was originally
introduced by Victor Hugo. 1t is
described as an admirable acting
play. and Mr.. Clarkes imperSon-

of 5000 men, representing every ele.
ment In Santiago. responded to call
issued by the chamber Of commerce
inviting them to participate in dem
onstration organized to present to the
military government a memorial urg-
ing reduction of American duties on
Cuban sugar and tobacco.
All business was suspended during
the demonstration, which was the lar.
gest ever seen in the city. Lieutenant
Henry c. Whitehead, Tenth United
States cavalry, who is temporarily rep
resenting the commander of the dis
trict wired the memorial to Governor
General Wood in Havana.
Senor Marcane, a leading lawyer, ad-
dressed an immense crowd on the plaza,
explaining the memorial. He asserted
that several sugar planters would be
unable to grind next year and pay the
present wages unless the American du-
ties were reduced.
The people are coming to understand
that industrial conditions here depend
upon Cuba's relations with the United
States, and the opinion was generally
expressed that the demonstration was
but the first expression Of sentiment
which would soon result in the forma-
ton of a strong annexation party.
Large delegations from all parts Of
the province participated in the demon-
stratiun.

kewich in regard to the attack on his
camp. A yeomanry patrol which was
sent out before dawn met the enemy
advancing. They gave warning, but it
was too late to prevent the pickets be-
ing rushed and enabled the Beers to oc-
cupy a position with good cover. from
which they poured in a heavy fire at an
effective range, while at the same time
there was all attack on both fanks.
The attack was driven off after two
hours fighting. The enemy expended
an enormous amount of ammunition"
The latest South African casualty
list shows that the fighting in the at
tack on Colonel Kekewich's camp at
Moedwill Sept. 20 put twenty-six Brit
ish officers out of action. -Four were
killed outright or died of wounds, and
twenty-five were wounded Colonel Ke-
kewich was wounded severely, but is
doing well.
"We learn on very high authority"
says The Daily Chronicle this morning,
"that sudden and complete collapse of
Boer resistance and the speedy termi-
nation of the war in South Africa are
anticipated. The attacks on Fort Itala
and Mocdwill and the other recent en-
gagements are regarded as the last des-
pcrate efforts of men who are wearied
by the struggle and tired Of being
hunted. Therefore, beyond sending
drafts to compensate for losses by casu-
altirs and disease, there Is no intention
to dispatch further rc-enforcements or
to employ Indian troops, as rumorcd,

PRAISE FOR SCHLEY..
Lieutenant Doyle Says Hs
Was Well Possessed.
COURTS END IS NOT IN SIGHT.
A Large Numbcr of Witnesses on
Judge Advocate Lcmly's List.
Schley Himself IL to De
Called Later.

WASHINGTON, Oct. AFTER Lieu
tenant Doyle, formerly Of Commodore
Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, had
completed his testimony before the
Schley' court Of inquiry yesterday, Cap
tain William G. Dawson Of the marine
corps was called and was S,llowed by
/ Lieutenant Charles W. Dyson Of the
bureau of steam engineering Of the ma
w department.
! Captain Dawson was signal officer
on board the battleship Indiana during
the naval engagement off Santiago, and
he gave an account from recollection
Z of the behavior of the various ships
Of the American feet during that bat
tie, He said the Brooklyn had gone
. about 1900 yards to the southwark be.
fore joining In the pursuit of Ceryera' 3
ships. Lieutenant Dyson was introduc'
ed to testify concerning the coal sup
ply of the flying squadron. but the
court adjourned for the day before he
could be heard to any extent.
Lieutenant Doyle said that at the
bombardment which had taken place
June the zocopa battery had replied
at first very spiritedly, but that it soon
:. "went out of business" After the ships
withdrew the enemy had again manned
their guns and then shot at the ships.
Mr.. Rayner then asked Lieutenant
Doyle how often he had seen Commo-
dore Schley under fire during the San
tiago campaign.
"Every time we We're under fire. he
replied, during those bombardments
and in the battle Of July g.
What was his conduct"
II did not have an opportunity, as
the commodore was always near about
the coming tower. to observe his con-
duct during the battle, but Immediately
previous and after did have an oppor-
tunity to do SO. He always struck me
as being just as well possessed as 1T
was possible for anybody to be under
the circumstances"
While all agree that it would be de-
sirablc to have the case terminated al
an early day, they also agree that there
is little prospect in that direction.
Judge Advocate Lemly probably will
not call more than six or eight wit
nesses, but Mr.. Rayner has almost for
ty names on his list. He says, however,
that he does not expect to- examine
more than half of. the number
He does not expect to call Admiral
Schley to the witness stand for some
time yet. -
