THE CUBAN BUDGET. £STIMATED REVENUES AND EXPENDI TURES OF THE ISLANDS GOVERNMENT. [BT TELEG2ArH TO THE TRIBrXE.] Washington. Jar. ".—Now that Cuba has held her «rat election under a law formulated by the Con stitutional Convention and the first steps Have been taken looking to the establishment of an Inde pendent government, the estimated receipts and ex penditures of the island become a matter of lnter f »t to all who wish Godspeed to the new power tciiic^i ;« WO to enter Into the family of nations. The strength of a government depends to a gr»at extent on the wipe and honest management of its jlrrai affairs- Burdensome 'axes and increased def lrlts have dog ur'roror.-d graves for both parties »n<! rations, while good business management of jj., resources and expenditures of a people has oftentimes given to a comparatively small nation power and Influence out of proportion to that vfclca I*J population and extent of territory would tura::y give to it, Tie '■•■-■■ resources of Cuba may be approxi mated by the record of the last two years, and her gecefsary expenditures may also be forecast -with lose - "•■ of confidence The total revenues of Cuba tor • fiscal years ending respectively June j5 linn. and June 30. 1901. were as follows: Perdue. 19Ot>. ism. <-j*t-m« $l*>.of,4.(<i.M>o Jl.'.}*4.*>.t«Vl 42 i— - IT.- 2^17 17 567.WW26 frier"*!.

The postal receipts show a gratifying Increase of $159.71311. while the • Tease of expenditure* was ;]y CMSJ~€. which speaks well for the efficiency of the service. It is not th* policy, however, of vise government to look to the postal department t» contribute to the expense of the general admln irtration. and all that can or ought to be expected from the above showing Is that In the course of tine the postal department may become self-sus taining. Th« marked increase of receipts shows that the people ire quirk to take advantage of a noiifr prompt and safe postal system, and this •trill contribute materially to the development and pood government of the island. THE INTERNAL. REVENUES. The Internal revenues show a falling off of $226. r<7 37. but this Is accounted for by the abolition of the 10 per rent and 3 per cent tax, which in I'aKi tra» collected of pa^sensT and freight rates, and ■which was abolished by military orders at the be ginning of the fiscal year ICM.

EXPENSES OF THE XEW GOVERNMENT. Th!s condition would not be a gloomy one were the expenses to continue as at present, but such is not the case.

The chances are that the personnel will be increase-] rather diminished. But many of the higher officials now performing civil functions In Cuba are officers of thfl United States Army, who are paid by the United States as officers, and re wivo no salary from the Cuban revenues, and they *ill have to be replaced by Cubans, who must, of rourse, receive compensation for their labor. In bri> ■■'..

Albany, Jan 7. — Senator Slater this morning Introduced a bill which will, if it becomes a law, put an end to the big national trap shooting tournaments that have been held in New-York State for many years, or result in bavins the tournaments held outside this State. At one tournament held last year over twenty thousand pigeons were slaughtered, and at th*> time hu mane societies and ornithologUal associations adopted resolutions and urged legislative action to prevent this cruelty. Descriptions of the tournament were pub lished, and it was shown *- >w wounded pigeons were left on th*» Held to die. The bill introduced by Senator Slater provides that it shall be a misdemeanor for any one to shoot a live pigeon, and any organisation holding a tournament at which live pigeons are used for targets may be proceeded against and its officers prosecuted in criminal courts. A similar bill was Introduced last year along toward the close of the session. It passed the Senate, but failed by six votes In the Assembly. Senator Slater said that he would make the greatest effort to have the bill become a law this year, for he understood that unless a law was made prohibiting such shoots, that another tournament would be held and twenty thousand more pigeons killed. The bill Introduced at Albany yesterday, which, if passed, will prevent live bird slaugh tering tournaments in this State, was not a sur prise to those who follow this alleged sport. Those who are Interested In trap shooting tour naments have been working quietly for several weeks among their friends at Albany, and they have hopes of defeating the bill this year, as they did last. This indiscriminate ?laußhter of domestic pipeons created so much disgust and opposition last fall that several contemplated tournaments OB T. r.s; Island were declared off. while others w»re transferred to New-Jersey proun.is. The promoters of Interstate P^rk. Long Island, where most of the bip: tournaments have held, and where the Orand American Handicap takes place each year, continue to say that they see no brutality in such tournaments, an<3 that the birds have a reasonable chance for their lives n-hen liberated from the traps. Many ppertators at these tournaments, however, have often left the grounds thoroughly disgusted with what they have fr-»n. The pigeon, partially paralyzed with fright, is tossed into the air nt the mercy of the man with the double barreled shotgun. Most of the experts empty both barrels into the bird as Boon an It leaves the trap, and the poor feathered creature has not one rhance In fifty of getting away In safety. With three drachms of smokeless powder in each cartridge and ar. ounce and an eighth of chilled shot on top of the powder In each barrel, the lead.-n hail would stop a buffalo if the animal was close enough. The result is that straight kills are frequently made of from forty to fifty birds, and occasion ally an even better record is made. In the field these trap shooters would do well to average one bird in two, and in the woods one kill in three attempts. This is one of the reasons why the real sportsmen who hunt for wild game sel dom wish to be confused with a trap shooter. Many hunters who g" into the field and wo i j after quail and partridge >-^.< h fall or winter try to g»-t a little practice before starting on ilv-lr aho itin^' trips. Their practice, however. Is generally done on bluerocks and not on live birds. Practice on clay pigeons sent skimming from unknown angles furnishes better training to the eye and finger than live birds would do, anyway. It is said that other cruel practices are used ar the big live bird tournaments. The pigeons .-ire not allowed to fattr-n. as that would retard their flight when they a r<- released from th' traps, anil consequently they are fed sparingly for days before the tournament Even at that, some of the pigeons are bo frightened that they will not fly when the trap Is sprung, and attend ants are compelled to ki> !< them out. Occasion ally a bird will tic. away, but even when he d ■■• s be seldom, if ever, wholly escapes the shower of shot, and bis escape Is only lingering in a nearby tree later on. If the slaughter Is allowed to continue some people are of th« opinion that the d pigeon will in time become almost extinct, as has been the case with the wild r>ig f- "n and the buffalo. Twenty years ago Wild pigeona were !<<•• plentiful in this country as wild duck are t i day. and now hunters aeld im. If ever, see one. This fine game bird was known to migrate at certain seasons of the year, and when resting at night would so fin a tree that big branches would be broken off with the weight of the birda The hunters would creep up to the roosts before daylight, nnd proceed to pour shot into the trees until the birds were killed by the wagon load. It was slaughter even nastier than the killing of the domestic birds under more modern trap shooting methods. A STORY IN POINT. An Incident happened riMr one of the promi nent shooting parks on Long Island last fall which is not only wholly true, but shows that men who play poker are not necessarily vicious. It was an outing of a party of printers em ployed on a New-York newspaper, and they had derided to stop at a little roadhousf which ad joined the shooting park. The printers had en- Joyed a. comic gam«> of baseball and then eaten heartily of the good things provided by the host. Several I n ll p( i about arm half a dozen thought they would indulge in a quiet little game of draw poker. Ir was before the cold weather had set in In earnest, and a table waF procured and the men Bat down on the veranda and the cards were dealt. The continual bang' bantr' of the shotguns near by had been heard most of the day. bur the printers had beer so taken up with thfir own affairs that they had paid little at tention to the slaughter During a lull in tlie game one of the players noticed that a wounded pigeon had escaped from the sharpshooters, and had alighted on the walk not fifty yards from th<» players. A crimson stain covered the breast of the bird, and one of his wings hunu dragging on the ground at his side. The print ers stopped their game and looked at the poor wounded thing with pity. The bird, seeming to realize that It was among friends, crouched down to try the Impossible task of self-surgery on the shattered wing. As It did so a burly man emerged from the shoot ing grounds, gun in hand. Just as he levelled the polished barrels at th« bird the printers arose as a man and yelled # "Don't shoot!" "And why not?" said the man with the gun. 'Because we won't have It!" said the printers as each man grabbed a heavy beer glass. The man glanced at the beer glasse« and decided to walk back into the shooting park. CURLING. m Weather permitting-, the flrst^purllng match of the season will be played this forenoon at Van Cortlandt Park, when a team of the North will meet representatives of the South of Scotland. The contest will be for the Dairy medal and other trophies. ygTT-TORK DATLY TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 8. 1902. BRUSH ASKED TO RETIRE. BPALDFNG SAYS BASEBALL WOULD BE WELL. RID OF THE CINCINNATI MAN AND ROBISON. AS WELL AS FREEDMAN. A. O Spaldlng. who Is trying to rid the National Baseball League of Fome of Us disagreeable feat ures and to put an effective mop to trust and syndi cate baseball, decided yesterday to give nut for pub lication some of the letters he has received from the, rilfferpnt club owners In the last few days. The letters from C. H. Ehbeta. president of the Brook lyn club: A. .1. Reach, president of the Philadel phia club: "Barney" Drryfuss, president of the Pitts burg Club, and James Hart, president of the Chicago club, all commend the action taken by Mr. Bpaldlng, and express confidence in ultimate success. Mr. Spalding declined to give out for pub lication at rhls tim» the letter received from A. H. A G. SPAL.DING, Who i- working for clean baseball. Soden. the president of the Boston club, saying that no would hoM the lefer until he had received permission from Mr. Boden to do so. While John T. Brush, the president of the Cin cinnati club, li.l noi write a letter, he sent a tele gram. In which he said he believed that had Mr. Spalding met himself and Roblson before De cember 11 and discussed the differences all would have been well. Then Mr. Brush suggested that Mr. Bpaldlng retire and allow the league to get to gether and adjust Its own affair*. He suggested also that if Mr. Bpaldlng wished to participate he might appear as a delegate of the Chicago club. In replying to Mr. Brush's telegram Mr. Spalding said in part: I note your suggestions, but In view of my recent public declaration eomlrmninc secret or nocalled "cum shoe' meetings to discuss baseball affairs 1 could not consistently accept your Invitation, which came through Mr. Hart, to meet you and Mr. Rob- Ison on the evening of December 11 at your New- York hotel, and I assume that Mr. Hart fully ex plalned this to you. Your telt-gram would In'ilfato that differences ex isted b« tween us. 1 know of no differences that ex ist, except the difference •■' opinion as to the ad visability of turning the national Into a trust corporation, nil the constituent clubs of which were to be ned by one central stock company and governed by a board of four resents. No possible argument that you could have an ■•■•! would have convinced me that such ;i scheme was possible or advisable for the national game. As I am not of a ret!- nature, and .-13 it would be hardly fair to my constituents who are responsible for my election. I <lo not see how I can act upon or seriously consider the last suggestion In above tele gram. I ciuinot • eve that you re sincere in making «hat suggestion, for you seem t.. forget that throug your net* and through those of your asso ciates I am temporarily enjoined by the Suprr.ne Court of New-York from acting as president-secre tary-treasurer of the National League, to whioh office I was Informed by a commit of the league that 1 had been unanimously elected December 14. and I construe this temporary Injunction of the court to mean thai I cannot reslfrn without 1 eing held possibly In contempt of court. This suit f>r which you and your associates are entirely re sponsible, seems to have tied everybody's hands in such a way that nothing- can bn done by any on« pending ■ decision of this case Of course, Mr. Brush, I recognize that you and your associates have a perfect legal privilege to Invoke the assist ance, of the courts in thin dilemma as you would have ii privilege to invoke similar aid should mi umpire's decision be contrary to your Tvishe.*. I urn amazed that in. like you and Freer] man who have run things about as you wished in baseball matters since you smoked th« pipe of peace to. aether about three years ago. should upon your first falluro in carrying out your Hcheme rush to th« courts so frantically for protection unil still claim the right to call yourselves sportsmen. ASKS HIM TO BE FRANK. Inasmuch as you have seen fit to offer sugges tions as to the course 1 should pursue I wish you would be equally as frank wit I. me, and explain why it would not be well for you to sell out your stock Interest in the w-Tork club, your alleged interest in the St. Loula club, and your supposed controlling- Interest In the Cincinnati club, and re tire from the frame yourself. Considering that -on never jmid anything originally for the Cincinnati club, and considering the way in which you ac quired an alleged interest In the rit. Louis cii;h. and considering that the greater part of your New- York club stock was paid for out of the proceeds of the $66,000 Indianapolis club, National league 18S0. transaction, it would seem hat you could afford to make v fairly reasonable • ice on these holdings that would make It possible for you to dispose of your various baseball interests. 1 would also suggest that you could do profes sional baseball a great kindness If you could Induce your alleged partner, Frank 1 <■■ Haas Uoi.lson. to dispose of his suppose, l Interest in the .St. I^iuls club and his alleged interest In the Cincinnati club You might also do the name a Still greater kind ness, and in a measure atone for some of the base ball > mistakes which you and some of your "com bine" associates have made In recent years by rce ommenilliiß that Andrew Kree.lman ni.^o dispose of his supposed controlling stork interest In Die New- York club and his alleged large stock interest In the Cincinnati club and his Interest in the St Louis club, if he has any. THE DIFFERENCE IN RESULTS Now, friend Brush, for a moment compare the 'oifc : ■ • ■ . obtain In ) our re tiring .it my suggestion to the small wo ild i m my retiring at your suggi M v retiring would simply carry with it my honor- Ich, by the wa\ , outi c ever b< '■.' In that ods a ! also do me a personal kind nesa by restoring me to the po Itlon ; t..i-.. o ■■■ pied for ten years previous to December 1 1. 1901, and relieve i: f what l admit are vexatl dlfflcil! baseball problems; bul your retirement, a.s I have suggested, would n-H.-w the gan t the burden ■>? longer carrying Andrew Freedman, John T. Brush 'in^i Frank De Haas Roblaon, and al the h.ime time prote t the so-called proper! of you three gentlemen tnat we bear s>> much about In thia baseball controversy. Now Mr Brush, thai t'-i 1 ; mi \- savor of a base ball compromise, f will make you this proposition, that !f you tr:ri->- gentlemen will permanently retire from the game, aa above suggested, I will agree to da likewise iusi as .soon ns the National League if again reinstated In public favor and nil profes sional baseball Interests moulded Into a proper form <•' government that bids fair to continue for a ble length of time. If this compromise propoFitlon meets with ttie approval of yourself and the two associates named above, please Indicate it to me at an early date, apooint your attorney and 1 will do likewise, and arr-inK-- a conference for the purpose of formulating a legal agreement thai will carry out both the spirit and letter of this propo sition.

ATHLETICS: AT YALE. MEN OF MUSCLE TO BEGIN ACTIVE WORK AT NEW-HAVEN. New-Haven, Conn.. Jan. 7 (Special).— With the opening of the winter term at Yale to-morrow mid year athletics will immediately begin In prepara tion for the important spring season in basebail and rowing. With the exception of the hockey, gym nastic and basketball teams, no Yale team will be in active training:, thoueh there will be activity in every branch to some degree. The annual winter vacation trips of the hockey and basketball teams have now closed. The hockey team lost three games and won one on Its Plttsburg trip, winning only from the Western Intercollegiate champions. Two of the other games were lost by a single goal only, and. as the Yale, team was unusually light, the showing made Is not regarded as discouraging. The intercollegiate series opens on January 15, and the hockey team will work from now on to get into trim for the big games. The team this year has lost three of the seven men— Bronson, forward; Talntor. goal, nnd Cox. coverpoint— their places having been taken by Potter. Ward and Hitch cock, respectively. The other players are the same as last year. Including Stoddard. Inman and Snow, forward, and G. B. Ward at point The Yale team expects to make a good showing when the cham pionship series begins. Of the remaining Christmas trips the basketball team has also returned to college, having lost only one game to a college team, the University of Minnesota. The basketball team put up a strong showing on the trip, and increased in form all through, It dropped games to the Central Young Men's Christian Association, of Chicago, and the Pittsburc Athletic Club. The championship series will begin soon, and a good season Is promised for the Yale team. With the resumption of college attendance, the track team, baseball team and the. crew will get down to the preliminary work for the season. This year a novel method has been tried of working out candidates for the long distance runs on the track team. Hitherto the selection of candidates has been without method, and Yale has therefore rare ly had good long distance men. But last fall ••Mike" Murphy b«-gan an entirely new system. He first turned Is attention to the cross country run nern. ami evolved some fair material. When the cross country season ended he put the best of the men on the relay squad, winning the championship with them later on. This week he will take the best of this restfti'd material and turn it over to the track team. Murphy said to-day that, although It had not been Yale's custom tt> train long distance men Indoors, he would do so this year, using also the outdoor track which has been built In the gym naal im yard. These men will start in almost at once, and when warmer weather cornea will run outdoors. Th*> regular track team will not start for a few weeks to come. Crew work begins at once under the leadership of Captain Kunzlg, of the 'varsity crew. Last year's men will not begin work until much later, but the large squad of new material will begin im mediately, as will the freshmen, using the big row ing tanks in the basement of the gymnasium. It looks now as if Captain K'inzig would put out a heavy crew this year. Weymouth. the 'varsity full back last fall, will go In for the crew instead of playing on the has. -hall team, as hail h»en expected. He ■ lined last year's freshman crew, but i- also a first class catcher, having caught Mathewson. the New-York twirler. for two seasons when both were students at Bucknell College. Weymouth la almost too heavy for the crew, but it will be a heavy crew throughout, although composed for the most part of veteran oarsmen, Johnson, the strength of last year's boat, being back, ,is well as rive others. There will be dally practice runs by the crew m<-n from now on until warm weather, the crews getting out on the harbor In March. The baseball team begins work In the gymnasium and the cage right sway. Captain Guernsey and Coach Johnston are preparing to turn out a strong team this year. The only weak spot will be in the pitcher's box. but Johnston, himself a pitcher of repute and a senior, will make every effort to find some new men. I'attfn. a sophomore, seems at present to be the leading pitcher in sight, with Garvan the senior. The batteries will work in the caeo right along till March, and there will be daily practice In batting ln the cage.

Cambridge, Mass.. Jan. — Harvard undergradu ates were much surprised to-day by the announce ment that E. C. Storrow, who for the last three years has been at the head of Harvard's rowing, has retired. His successor is to be Francis L.. Hlg ginson. jr.. who was captain and stroke of the winning Harvard crew in ISM and again captain In 1900. With Hlgglnson. Mr. Storrow's moat successful oar, at the helm, the system developed by Mr. Storrow will in all probability De followed closely. While Hlgginson has had no experience as a coach, it Is thought the prestige that he gained as cap tain will give him the confidence of the oarsmen. Hlgginson is a firm believe' In the club system as It Is now working at Harvard. Captain Billiard will make an early start at row- Ing this year. CYCLING. MTARLAND SUSPENDED AND FREEMAN FINED FOR THEIR CONDUCT AFTER RACE AT BOSTON-DEATH OF A. H. ANGELL. As predicted in The Tribune of Monday, the Na tional Cycling Association has found it necessary to take some action because of the disgraceful scenes enacted after the recent six day race at Boston. The officials and most of the riders who took part in the race were in this city yesterday in response to a notice from the chairman of the Board of Control of the National Cycling Associa tion. It will be remembered that F. A. McFarland, the winner of the race, jumped oft his wheel after crossing: the finishing line, and attempted to assault Leandter, who finished second. Fro«man also acted in a way to bring bicycle riding into bad P. A. irFARLAXD. Winner of the six day race at Boston, suspended yesterday. odor. A special meeting of the officials of the National Cycling Association was held at No. 150 Nassau-st.. yesterday. After the various riders K-i.l etven their testimony the board announced Its findings without BBUCh delay. The sjecWssH were as follows: For conduct detrimental to the sport In Inciting a riot at Park Square Garden, Boston, on January 4. Floyd A. MrFarland. of San Jose. Cal., is hereby suspended from all connection with cycle racing until June 15, 1902; said McFarland is Riven the privilege of applying at th* annual meeting of the National Cycling Association to have this suspen sion changed to a fine. For a like offence at the -am* place and date. Howard B. Freeman, of Portland. Ore.. Is fined $30 or has the option of accepting a suspension until June 1. 1902. It having been established that Jean fiougroltz fouled Hugh McLean in the finishing mile of the Park Square Garden race, the McLean-Butler team Is placed fifth and the Gou^oltz-Simar team sixth. McFariand and his friends outiht to he thankful for the llfjht puTilshmer.t m---t^d otit to him. If he waa Instrumental In oreatinc a riot he ought to have been s»t down for at least •■* year, Beins? put off the »nek fr'im now until June 15 really m^-ins little, for thore will he scarcely any hlcycle racing between now and June I. McFariand will proh ably ko to his home ln '"*a!!fornia. and rest until the openinK "f the outdoor racing season. While Freemitn has he» n fined t?S> he has the option of taking a rest until June 1. which he wtll probably do rnther than to pay the fine. While one of the pluckiest ar.d best all around riders In the country. M-F ir!;in<l h\f> frequently caused racing officials consli'.eriMe trouble. H!s old racing; mate. Ste vens, baa been ruled ofl the track probably for life. McFariand is a tine sprinter, as well as a distance man. and h.- is .me of th^ beat handicap rMass In the ,-ountry. H^ Is a^ •> -ur six feet tall and a foot wide. Freeman is something of an artist with his pen. and will probably take to that business when he grows too oH to indulge In bicyda racing. The death of A. H. Anije!!. the oMtlme president of the Good Roads Association of lx>ng Island, will be. a shock to most riders of the wheel in this dlstn -t. A:t«ell and Isaac B. Potter worked H. H. FREEMAN, Fineii for team work. for years for wheelmen's rights and pood roads. Anjrell was largely responsible for the fixing; up of Olenmore-ave., Brooklyn, making an outlet to the good roads of Queens County. Ha also worked zealously for the Coney Island Cycle Paths. Th* monthly meeting of the Good Roads Association which was W> b«' held on Monday night, was post poned out of respect to tlie memory of Its late president. rtßi.rxG.
