POLICE ARREST LEADERS
IN REVOLUTIONARY PLOT

Havana, Sept. 27.--The secret police
yesterday arrested General Masso Par
ra, General Juan Ducassi and General
Lara Miret, charged with conspiring
against public order.
General PARA Is the alleged leader
OF the conspiracy to start revolution
against the Aemericans in Cuba with
the use Of funds supplied through some
firm in New York. simultaneously with
the arrival of PARA at Havana three
Santo Domingans, well known on ac-
count OF their previous revolutionary
records, also arrived.
1t Is known that the conspiracy was
hidden in New York by Americans
whose names, 1t is said. are in the pos
session of the United States govern
ment, and 1t is stated that the leaders
here were professional revolutionists
hired for the job, which it Is believed
will result in a fiasco.
Governor Magoon, however is amply
prepared with 5000 American soldiers
and 5000 rural guards, to crush any
movement.
New York, Sept. 27.-Cuban conspir-
ators, whose plot to overthrow the
provisional government had been
thwarted by Governor Magoon In Ha-
vana, attempted apparently to use the
World to further their design.
An unsigned cable of 1872 words was
received by the newspaper several
hours before the news OF the plot be-
came public. stating that a meeting
of prominent merchants OF Havana
had been held Monday night and re-
solution adopted to inform the World
OF the true state of affairs in Cuba.
The message then said that there
would be general uprising. a.

 Klobedanz is looking fine and seem- ingly as strong as when he was with

 Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics has written to Manager Dowd, stating that he would like to take Outfelder lazy Hoffman with him on the southern training trip of the Athletics. The Holyoke manager has consented, but if Hoffman does go there will be a Holyoke string still attached to him. Manager Mack in
 his letter said that he wanted to take two complete teams south with him without making it necessary to place extra catchers or pitchers in the out- field or infield to fill out one of them. It is for this reason that he is ready to take Hoffman along with him. This means that there will be no

THE SPORTING NEWS.

The pace told on Loxson last night and the speed that characterized his skating in the early part of the game was lacking towards the end.
 Warner is a vicious driver and can connect them with the ball on either side. He knows how to use his weight and when he swings, there Is force behind it.
 Last evening proved that the people will flock to the rink when the visiting team is good. What a differ ence in last nights contest and that of Tuesday,
 Anderson is one fine goal tender and is as good as the next.
 Better get busy. Mac. before we start to slide. The toboggon Is slip pery and once on it, 1t takes some time to stop.
 New Britain was in the pink of condition last night. Do not endeavor to place the blame of the defeat on the shoulders of someone who does not deserve it. If la player plays his game, no one should critize him for what he does outside.

TIGERS WIN ON THE MAT.
Defeat Pennsylvania Wrestlers by
 Four Bouts to Three.

Princeton, N. l., March 1.-The ti- gers added more points to their wrest- ling record by winning from the Uni yersity of Pennsylvania here last night. The score was to 8. More scientific or clever wrestling has new CT been witnessed in Princeton. Ev- cry bout was carried through clearly and quickly. A big crowd gathered early to witness the sport. There was considerable speculation on the outcome because Pennsylvania had defeated Yale while the Tigers put it over Columbia a couple of weeks ago.
 The bout that attracted most at- tention was the one between Folwell, Pernsylvanla's gridiron hero, and King. husky Princetonian. The two men worked like beavers but neither could develop successful hold on his opponent. Folwell was bigger and apparently more powerful than the Tiger but King had all kinds of nerve and was skillful. After hav- ing gone the limit in time the officials awarded the decision to Folwell
 Passeralla and Yeager were won- derfully alert and up to within five seconds Of time being called 1t looked like a draw. Just as referee Feagles was about to yell that it was over the Pennsylvania wrestler suddenly twisted his Tiger opponent and before you could wink had Passeralla stretched out on the mat. The hold consisted Of scissors and half Nell son The other matches were all in- terestlng and when the meet was ov- CT Pennsylvania received "a rousing locomotive. The So-ealled feeling against Pennsylvania was certainly not in evidence last night

BoNHAG's RECORD.

Unfortunately for George V. Bon- hag, Americas greatest amateur dis tance runner. his brilliant perform ance of 20m, II 1-5s for the four miles made last Friday night in New York will not go on the records.
 His contest with Mike Spring of the Pastime A. C. and William G. Frank of the Irish-American A. C., is classed as an exhibition rather than a scheduled race, and the fact that each of his opponents ran half the distance makes it a paced race, al though he actually outran both men and had an advantage of lap when Frank relieved Spring at the end of tow miles.

Samuel Simmons of this city, who some time ago had talk with At torney C. J. Danaher of Meriden as to the price the latter would take for his Connecticut. league franchise and players has stated that he stood ready at the present time to pay $6,000 for Danaher's New Haven baseball team and if necessary he might go little higher in the bid.
 Mir Simmons is just now as inter- ested financially in the Bridgeport polo team. He made an offer for the baseball club and according to his statement Mir Danaher was to let him know whether 1t was acceptable, but Mir Simmons has heard nothing of the matter since.
 From what Danaher said a few days ago $6,000 or $S,000 will not buy his franchise and club just at this time and If Sunday ball is al- lowed it will take several thousands added to get 1t away from the present owner.

BUSY BALL PLAYERS.
Joe Yeager Traded for . Catcher
 Other Baseball News.

As a result of a conference between Clark Griffith and Owner Hedges, or the St Louis Browns, it was an- nounced yesterday that Joe Yeager. the clever utility player of the Yam kees, has been traded to St Louis for Branch Hickey, a young catcher. who developed in one season to one of the best hitting catchers in the American league. The trade was an even thing no money changing hands.
 This gives the Yankees three first class young catchers-Rickey, Th0m- as and KlienOw--and 1t is evident that Jim Mcclure will not be called on as often as last season. While Griffith considers Yeager q good field CT and batter, still he feels that George Moriarty is well fitted to play the utility role, and his catching department needed strengthening
 Hickey is delicate appearing young fellow, built OH the lines of Lou Criger, but he is hard hitter. He was purchased from the Dallas club of the Texas league by St Louis a year ago and was prime favorite in the Mound city last season. He al- ways batted well against New York, getting two home runs in one game of Yankee pitchers. He is a married man and lives at Oxford. O., where he is athletic trainer of Wesleyan un- iyersity.
 In St Louis Hickey was called "a second Davy Fultz." He is young man of strong religious convictions, and is prominent in the Y. NJ. C. A. He will report at Atlanta next week.
 Depending on the point of view, ev. erything is lovely or everything is all wrong with the Giants. John T. Brush professes to regard the Chica- go mutiny as mere trifie that can not possibly affect the organization except that the team will be lacking three men who might have played. That two of these men are players whose equals at their respective po- siti0ns could not be secured except by an outlay of from $10,0OO to S20,- 600 does not appear to him as q mat ter of importance.
 The other side of the story is told in dispatches from various cities along the route which the team is taking to, Los Angeles, and it is this side of the case which will worry the fans who have been hoping to see an- other National league pennant won for the metropolis next fall. There is no harmony on the personally con ducted excursion that Secretary Fred Knowles is running to Southern Cali f0rnia. Not only are the remaining players disgruntled over the probable loss of Bowerman and Donlin, both of whom are popular, but majority are bemoaning cuts in salaries that leave them in anything but good hu- nor.
