MEMBERS OF HOUSE
TO PLAY BALL GAME
Republicans and Democrats Will
Clash for Benefit of the
Fairgrounds.

The Republicans and Democrats of
the House will settle their differences
next Saturday at the American League
Park when two crack ball teams from
that body will cross bats for the
benefit of the public Fairgrounds of
Washington.
T. l.. Reilly, Congressman from Con-
necticut and baseball magnate, is
much interested in drafting players for
both teams. All of the men who play
ed last year assured E. S. Martin,
superintendent of Fairgrounds, some
time ago that they were willing to
help to make the game success this
year.
Several of the House members were
college players of note when young men
and a few of them saw service in the
professional leagues when league base
ball was comparatively young.

RACE FEELING IN
HAVANA .FORETELLS
i. SERIOUS ST Ri CLASHES |.
Cuban Capital in Terror anG
President Gomez Issues
.. l.. Warning. 49,.

HAVANA, June 9.--Race feeling is
hourly increasing in intensity In Ha-
Nana, and there is serious apprehension
of an outbreak at any moment The
whites are fearful of a sudden noctur-
nal rising of the blacks and, at the
same time, are showing a strong dis
position to precipitate an open race war
by planning an attack on the negroes.
President Gomez last night issued a
proclamation, evidently inspired by the
fear of a popular uprising as a result
OF race hatred. He appeals to good
citizens, irrespective of color, to pre-
serve mutual respect, and says:
r But there are some-fortunately few
who provoke by offensive words and
other means those who live TRANQUILITY,
and such conduct is unworthy the gal
liant and noble character of Cubans.
III such persons wish to fight the
enemies of the republic let them enlist
and go to the front, but II they have
other designs | shall resist them ana
shall severely chastise those who resort
10 force or excite racial hatred among
those who have lived and now live In
peace and harmony in our beloved land.
Wants 5Disturbers Arrested.
Il enjoin the utmost vigilance on the
part of the authorities to see that all

the action of the courts"
Arrests of negro suspects continue in
Havana and vicinity, thirty being taken
into custody at Marianao alone. The
latter include several women, who are
charged with contributing money to the
1nsurgent cause.
AS Indicative of the bitter feeling of
the whites against the negroes, the
editors of several of the most promi-
nent papers have agreed not to publish
any news of the negro clubs, associa-
tions, or social gatherings
The opinion is becoming general that
1t Is hopeless to expect the government
to crush the insurgent forces in
Oriente, despite General Monteagudo' 9
assurance that he is satisfied with the
military situation and expects to end
the revolution in three weeks. General
Numez has offered the government a
regiment of 1900 veterans to re-einforce
Monteagudo. but they must await the
Arrival of arms from the United States.
Veterans to Organize.
Preliminary steps are now being
taken to organize the veterans. There
has been rush Of citizens to obtain
permits to bear arms. but the author
tiles are becoming more careful in the
issuance of such papers. as they are
calculated to increase the danger OF
popular disorder!
The question most frequently heard
in the cafes, clubs, and other gather
ing places is Who will be the America n
governor general? The impression is
that In event of such an appointment
becoming necessary 1t would probably
fall on General Wood, who ssaid to be
most acceptable to the better class OF
Cubans.
