 Teddy is too smart to allow himself to get out of reach of the political manipu- lators. He is making a big bluff at the trusts, but he knows he will have to depend on them for support if he is to succeed himself.

FEAR FILIPINO ROBBERS.
Merchants of Lagoncy Ask That
Troops Remain There.

A dispatch from Manila YESTERDAY says:
The merchants of Lagoncy. in south Sa-
marines province, Luzon, have sent a cable
message to General Chafee, praying that
the American troops be not Withdrawn
from Lagoncy. The merchants says that
they are unanimously of the opinion that
II they are deprived Of the protection Of
the military they Will become victims Of
the lawless element at the cost of their
lives and property.
They say that if The American troops
leave the town the enemy could reduce
the fooG supply of the inhabitants and re-
tard the advance Of the soldiers coming
to their rescue, and that such action would
lead to irreparable damage. The merchants
further declare the local police to be in
sufficient to guarantee order. This is
proved, they say, by the fact that the de-
tachmerts of American troops have been
withdraw from the neighboring towns of
Goa, Tigaon and SaEgay and that the lc cal
police have been unable to suppress the as

Senators to taks+on a'brace and stu win
out. but the experienced base ball fan al
ready knew that the professionals were
doomed. Mackay was pitching exceptional
iy clever ball, and the boys back Of him
were simply eating up everything they
could get their hands on
Carrick took brace in the next three
innings and Georgetown was shut out with
out run. Captain Moran was afraid
Mackay might falter at any minute and
decided to substitute Blewitt in the sixth.
Like Carrick, the latter's debut was a.
failure. five runs being scored BY the Sem
ators on his first turn in the box. But 1t
was only flash in the pan, as Blewttt
pulled himself together and blanked the
professionals the next two innings. but
they did manage to get one run in the
ninth. making their total eight
In the eighth inning Georgetown went to
work on Carrick and treated him some
what harshly, swiping the ball hard. and
when the third man had been retired three
runs had been scored. In the ninth George
town made one more, totaling thirteen.
The Senators had no excuse to offer. They
could, not hit Georgetown pitchers when
hits meant runs, and in addition their field
ing was not up to the mark. On the other
hand, Georgetown played an unusually
brilliant game, kept cool at critical points
and as d result won out with plenty to
spare.
Apperious replaced Drill behind the bat
for Georgetown and from the formers ex-
h1bit1on the latter will never be missed
bowling. Dorman, Morgan and Golden did
the best batting for the blue and gray,
the quartet getting fourteen Of the seven
teen hits credited to the team Morgan
was a little off In his fielding, but also
made several stops which were of the bril-
liant order. Just how effective the pitch
Ing of Mackay and Blewitt was can be
cleaned from the fact that such sterling
batters as Delehanty and wolverton failed
to get safe hit
The Youngsters were literally applauded
for their good work against the veterans

CYCLE SEASON OPENS.
Kramer Defeated Mcfarland by Half
Wheel at Vailsbure.

The local outdoor cycle racing season
opened yesterday at the Vailsburg track
and attracted 1000 persons.
The main item of interest was the meet
ing of Frank Kramer and Floyd McFar-
land In the half-mile open, and it was q
battle royal when they came down the
stretch in their finishing sprint Kramer had
the most speed and he beat out the lengthy
Californian by by half a wheel. The last
eighth Of mile was ridden in 13 Is Sec
onds
Thirteen men started in the two-mile han
dicap. with Kramer and Mcfarland on
scratch. Notwithstanding the unlucky
number. the bunch went through without a
spill. The two rivals on scratch worked to-
gether and changed pace each half lap, rid
ing the first mile in 30. Collett and Franz
krebs. on 80 and 30 yards, respectively,
waited for the back markers and then re-
fused to set any pace. for which they were
roundly Kissed by the crowd.
The liberal handicap allowed by the han
dicapper to the long markers proved to be
too much for Kramer and Mcfarland to
overcome. and they gave UP on the last lap
Hadfeld proved the victor in the contest
with Saxon Williams second, Walter Bard
gett third and Franz Krebs fourth.
Teddy Ellington. the Vailsburg amateur.

also captured second in the five-mile handi-
cap He was beaten out in the handicap by
Charlie Schlee in an inches-close finish.

MAI. WALLER ACQUITTED.
He Was Charged With Shooting Fill
pinos Without Trial

A dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
Major Littleton W. Waller of the Marine
Corps has been acquitted by the court-mar-
tial which tried him upon charges of having
caused the execution of natives of Samar
without trial. The court stood eleven to two
for Major Walters acquittal
The charge against Major Waller was
that. while lying sick, he had ordered
eleven natives, who had acted as guides
to Walters forces across the island taken
out and shot. The ground for this action
was the claim that the natives had proved
treacherouS to the Americans, resulting in
terrible hardships and the death of a num-
Der Of marines.
The trip Of Major Waller across Samar
is almost unparalleled for suffering The
marines were without food for many days
except for leaves and certain edible roots
The native guides, it was charged while
help the Americans gather them, and
would not even assist them in determining
which of the many roots We're edible.
The guides to a detachment which had
been separated from the main body at
tackled the almost starved and greatly
weakened Americans and attempted to
massacre them. 1t was when this latter
fact was reported to Majo Waller at the
end OF the expedition, that he ordered the
natives to be shot.
Major Walters defense was that he act
ed within the rules of warfare, and that
in ordering the execution of the treacherous
guides he did not exceed the orders of Cen
eral Smith, commanding in Samar who had
instructed his officers not to take prisoners.
He also claimed there was abundant prece-
dent for his action as military necessity.
In support of this he cited the course Of
our own and other troops in China during
the Boxer uprising and the course of the
British in killing Arab pickets who had
beheaded English prisoners.
General Smith testified before the court
that his order not to take prisoners did
not contemplate their massacre, but rather
that they should be turned loose after be-
ing disarmed

HARVARD TRIUMPHED.
Defeat Virginians in Well-Played
Game.

Harvard and Virginia played a typical col
lege game Saturday afternoon. There was
plenty of excitement, some good pitching
several very fast plays and generous per-
centage of errors. Y. M. c. A. Park, with
which the two teams were forced to be con-
tent, may have occasioned several of the
errors, the field being rough just outside
the bases and practically unkept in the out
field. The game evoked the widest kind of
cheering from crowd which surrounded
three sides Of the diamond and filed both
the bleachers and the balconies of the his
toric Van Ness mansion.
The score was IL to s. It would have been
only about half as much, however, except
for the twelve errors committed when men
were on bases Carter tossed for the Char
four men struck out was improved by nine
put-outs and four assists. The error
charged to him consisted of a wild throw
which cost the team a run.
Harvards twirlers were Clarkson and
Stillman. Both did good work, the former

the latter four men in six innings Clark

Waste Paper Causes Complaints.

Numerous complaints have recently been
filed with the District Commissioners con-
corning the large quantities of waste paper
blown about the streets on windy days.
The complaints have been referred to the
police department, and a report from that
source today shows the police have been
unable to secure evidence against the peo-
pie who deposit paper in unlawful places
1t is with the greatest difficulty that the
slightest knowledge is cleaned as to where
the paper comes from. The wind gathers It
up piece by piece, and usually deposits 1t in
one particular corner in neighborhood.
The police have warned merchants to be
careful as to where they deposit waste
paper. and will continue to keep sharp
lookout

Georgetown Scored Splendid Victory
Over the Professionals.

There was quite big crowd at Ameri-
can League Park Saturday afternoon to
witness the game between the Senators and
Georgetown, and the followers of the COL
legians were delighted over the victory OF
their pets. who won out by the score of IL
to 8.
Too much praise cannot be given the
wearers Of the blue and gray for their fine
work. as they outplayed the professionals,
both at the bat and in the field. Catcher
Clarke had not reported up to the time the
game started and Wolverton was showed
behind the bat, Coughlin went to third and
Keister to second. Lee was the first pitcher
up, and Carrick tried to play center Mr.
Lee has evidently not warmed up to the
seasons work. or was afraid to let out his
arm on account Of a strange catcher, for
Georgetown simply banged the ball all over
the lot, and when he went to center field at
the end OF the third inning five runs had
been made of his delivery. The Senators
during this time had been BANKED for two
innings, but In the third managed to get
a run over the plate. Carrick then went on
the rubber, and his debut was something
disastrous. the university boys getting four
additional runs before the side was retired
Washington followed with one run and the
score stood 8 to in favor Of the blue and
gray.
