Rising in Puerto Principe.
1t became known Saturday that the
Instruction has spread to the prov
ince of Puerto Principe. Seventy men
have taken up arms at Moron, that
province, led by Garcia Canizares,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives, during the liberal ascendancy
in that body. The members of the
band openly equipped themselves and
left the town in an orderly manner.
The mayor of Moron soon summoned
the rural guards in the vicinity and
followed the insurgents, with the pur-
pose of engaging them.
Later the governor of the province
of Puerto Principe notified the author
tiles here that a mounted party of
200 men had taken up arms at Arroyo
Blanco, near Ciego de Avila, % miles
southwest of Moron. This force is
commanded by Dellon Sanchez, an
ex-revolutionary general.
City of Puerto Principe Alarmed.
Governor Silva, of Puerto Principe,
has begun enrolling volunteers. The
city of Puerto Principe is in a state
of excitement
Vice President Mendez Capote con-
ferred with Senior O'Farrill, the secre-
tary of state and justice, at the for
mer's home until one o'clock Saturday
morning, but they refused to divulge
the subject Of their conference.
Senior O'Farrill, the secretary of
state and justice, later in the day de-
MED that he paid a long visit to Vice
President Mendez Capote Friday night.
Cuban Representatives to Meet.
All the members of the Cuban ma
tional assembly who are in this city
will hold meeting Sunday, which
will be the first meeting since the adj
jurnment of June 30.
The politicians are preoccupied with
preparations for the election of vice
president of the national assembly,
which will take place next week. The
leading candidates are Seniors Obaldia
and Guardia, with the probabilities
favoring Obaldia.
lnsurgent Leader Captured.
Dispatches from Santiago de Cuba
announce that rural guards have sur
rounded the town of Songo and have
captured Urbano Sanchez, the insur-
gent leader there.
The recruiting of insurgents in San
tiago, the governor of that province
asserts, has proved unsuccessful and
he adds that he has military force at
his disposal with which he can quick
" crush an uprising in any portion of
the province. He is holding a special
troop train, fully equipped, constant
ly in waiting at the railroad station
ready to be dispatched to the scene
of any uprising. He says he had no
knowledge of the existence of any in
surgent organizations in his province.
1t is rumored here that number of
insurgents at Baracoa, at the extreme
eastern end of the province Of San
tiago, have taken up arms.

Havana, Sept. 3.-If the government
officials here are seriously disturbed
over the new situation in the eastern
provinces, they do not show it. The
long time which elapses before their
reports on the subject reach Havana
and their unwillingness to view the
matter pessimistically seemingly
causes them to believe that matters
are not as bad as the newspapers rep
resent. The government officials deny
that uprisings have taken place in
the provinces of Santiago and Puerto
Principe and they say that Pine Guer-
ra's force is not nearly so large as
has been reported. The only report
given out by the government Satur-
day was a long account Of the move
ments of Col. Avalos, commander of
the government forces in the province
of Pinar del Rio, which on the whole
only confirmed the statements already
published.

Rod, who nodded slightly in return, blushing
at the same time and glancing over his shoul-
der to see if he was observed.
Low ball-play!" called the umpire.
Dick Manning drew himself up looked care
lessly about the field, then suddenly, with a
swift movement, sent the white ball whizzing
directly over the plate, about two feet from
the ground.

The Jamestowner looked surprised, and be-

ball it was past him again and in the hands

The next two balls delivered were wide. The
third was just right, and the Jamestowner hit
with all his force. 1t scared far up in the
air. toward the centrefeld.
"Rod! Rod Farnum" cried Harry, as two
or three of the ielders started for the ball.
Rodney ran, and stretched out his hands "a
little awkwardly, his friends thought The
next moment the ball struck the ground six
feet away, and the striker was safe on second
base
A prolonged "Oh-h-hi" came involuntarily
from the crowd, and Rod returned with a
sullen air to his station, after fielding the
ball
The game proceeded, and was contested hot
ly at every point. The visitors seemed possess
ed with but one ambition, and that was to
knock the ball down to centre. Time and
again it started in that direction, but dropped
short, or into the hands Of one of the other
felders.
At last the ninth inning was reached. The
score was tie-eight to eight. jamestown"

say nothing about it. The old mask was
nearly worn out, and, if struck at certain
points was sure to hurt the Yearer
Ii Harry Hunter was so particular about
catching, he could wear the old thing, for all
Rod cared.
Having gone so far as this, the unhappy
boy suddenly hit upon another scheme to OBJ
ed darkly.
"I'll do it," he said to himself; then turned
and walked homeward, meditating all the way
or the surest means to accomplish his pur-
pos.
1t was no less than TO bring about the defeat
OF his own companions. How he succeeded
will be seen.
AT two o'clock on Saturday afternoon par
ties of young people, in twos and threes, began
to stroll toward the common.
Already number of players were on hand
engaged in vigorous practice, their jaunty uni
forms showing prettily against the green, close
ly-cropped ball field.
The jamestown nine wore blue stockings and
gray suits; the "Readyilles," white, with red
stockings.
The crowd increased. At about quarter
each nine, separated at a distance from the
common, and came to it from different direc-
tions.
One of them was the captain of the James
towns" rough, black-eyed fellow, whom no
body liked, but who was fine player. The
other was Rodney Farnum.
Three o'clock arrived, and in the presence
of the umpire, the two captains tossed up
cent. The "Readvilles" won the toss, and
sent their opponents to the bat.
As the red stockings walked past them into

and, drawing back his arm, threw the bali
with all his strength. Harry was waiting for
It eagerly, with his foot on the homepIate.
II II seemed impossible that the ball could get
there in time, and the Jamestowners cheered
more Justify than ever, as the blue stockings
went flying along the base line toward home:
but still more swiftly came the ball, sent
with unerring aim from Rods far-away arm,
just wee fraction of second before the
runner touched the plate the ball settled into
Harrys hands, which swung round like light
nlng, and jamestown was out-score, eight to
eight.
On coming in with his side for their last
turn at the bat, Rod found himself all at once
hero.
Never was such throw seen on the
grounds!'' they said and poor Rod hung his
head, and answered not word
Harry made good hit that carried him
to second, where he seemed likely to be left,
as the next two at the bat struck easy flies,
and went out 1t was Rods turn Hereto,
fore he had purposely struck out every time
he came to the bat. Now his hands clenched
the stick firmly, and he braced his feet as if
he meant business. The crowd saw the slight
movement, and cheered to encourage him.
"Strike one!" called the umpire, as the
ball few over the plate little higher than
Rod wanted it. Strike two!"
Still not just right Rod waited calmly. The
crowd were silent and looked downcast Sud-
denly they gave wild cheer. Hats We're flung

far beyond the right fielder. In another mo-
ment Harry had reached home, and scored the
winning run-score, Readvilles, nine; James
towns, eight.
That night Rodney drew Harry to one side
and had long talk with him. Whatever its
nature was, it is certain that the boys wrung
each others hands at parting and have been
like brothers ever SINCE AS for Rodney, he
will not soon forget the match, and the two
parts he took in it, and manlier, humber,
nober fellow doesn't live in Readvlle to-

1t should be explained that Harry was the
captain OF the Readville Club; so there was
no dispute as to his authority thus far
When they came to the choice of positions,
however, there was little more feeling. AS
TO hrst, second and third base, the matter
was easy enough. There were two fellows
who played, shortstop well, but they were
warm friends, and each was ready to yield
to the other.
Dick Manning was acknowledged to be the
best pitcher in town, having drop twist
which he had gained by days of practice, at
odd moments behind his fathers barn, and
upon which he greatly prided himself in a
modest way.
Up to this point, all went smoothly.

Rodney was graceful player, strong
hitter and swift thrower. His chief trouble
was uncertainty. You couldn't depend either
on his temper or his nerve in closely-con-

ing that Rod should play centrefeld at first,
and come in for change during the close of
