£AW A GOOD CAME OF BALL I tjcvESIBEITT BAN JOHNSON WATCHES THE SAINTS Enxter So inlay (.nine at l.cxineton VaeW At (mots 2.:500 People Snints Detents the Baaua*l E\ portM in :i Score of Thirteen t.> Three I'reKton and ilolliiigM- | worth Do Some t;«o«I Work. St. Paul, 13; Hamm's Exports, 3. President Ban Johnson, of the West ern league, sat in the grand stand at Lexington park yesterday afternoon nnd witnessed a good (;:uue of ball be tween Con:i;-key's men and Hamm's Exports. In addition to President Johnson, Marcus P. Hayne, president of the ! Minneapolis club, kept his weather I eye on ih' field for an hour and forty- ; live mill os. as did also some 2,300 other ii dlviduals, all of them fans of j the first water, who would sooner miss i a chance to so to war than fail to see > the first gan a > C the season. There have been many colder days nt Lexington park after the season had opened than was yesterday. In fact, one was comfortable in the bleachers or the grand stand with the lightest kind of an Easter overcoat, and there were many suoh garments! there, ranged alongside of brand new ! Baster '. onnets, and presenting a sci r.e reminding one of ladies' day when the weather is always warm and the home team is winning. And. too, the p< pcorn man was there; i the only popcorn man in tlie business. "You will no longer go hungry, for I am here." was his greeting to the grand stand and the bleachers, and a cheer went back as a welcome to the ►happy vendor. Circumstances combined to make the game mu< h better than that of Sat urday, although the brewery boys are not superior to the Hamline team. They succeeded in scoring three men, and only in two innings did they shut the Saints out. Thirteen runs were scored by the professionals, two of which came in on errors. Glenalvin, who arrived in town yes terday Horning with Pitcher Cross, was on secohd base, and Hollings- WOrth was shoved around to third. Phyle held down the initial sack, and Hale, a Wisconsin man, who would like to be a Saint, took care of the right field, in the absence of Doggie Miller, who injured his leg in Satur day's game and was unable to ap pear. Holly at third did some sensational work, and more than once filled the fans brim full of enthusiasm. He threw to first as well as the very best of them, ar.d his fielding was remarka ble. Preston was the bright particular star at the bat and on the base lines. His work was much like what he used to do for Minneapolis with the cham pion team. Three singles and a dou ble In five times at bat and three runs constituted his record for the day. In the sixth inning, after reaching third on his two- bagger and Spies' single, he made >ne of his daring attempts to steal home, with the bail in the pitcher's hands. It was a c'.ose de cision at the home plate, but March called him out. Glenalvin. who appeared for the first time, created a favorable impression. He appears to be in splendid form, and his woi k at second yesterday was good. Paddy Friey, the amateur, who did the twirling, cannot be classed with Comlskey's tegular men. What he could do against a league team is a Question, although he held his oppo nents yesterday well in hand, allowing them but eight hits and sending six to the bench on three strikes. For the Exports, Anderson at third accepted ten of his eleven chances as neatly as could be. He lobs them over to first in an aggravatnig manner, but gets them there, however. He is a good ball player. Williams, the colored boy. who play ed In right field, accepted his single chance, and did the heavy hitting for his team, securing a double and two singles in five times at bat. He Is a horn batter, but is a trifle slow In the field. In the eiehth inning, Burke injured his leg slightly, and Billy Carney took his place at the bat, hammering out a single. Frank March umpired the game to the satisfaction of every one. The score : St. Paul. AB. R. H. PO. A. E. Hollingsworfh, 3b ..4 0 1 2 2 0 Shugart. ss 4 2 1 3 3 0 Hale, rf 5 1 0 1 0 0 Burke.

April 10.— Henry and Victor Je'.lau, the champion cycle team, with their electric tandem, arrived tonight on the French steamer La Gascogne. Thc-y have been booked to appear on va rious bicycle tracks by the International Cy cle Track association. The electric tandem has a speed of fifty miles an hour, and has been used successfully in pacing the leading French riders last year. The Jallau brothers will go to Chicago this wick to meet their father, who lives there. Uourrele, Cavaly and Boulay, three speedy Parisian riders, together with the secretary of the National Cycledrome, of this city, are now en their way to this country on the steamer St. Paul, which Is due hero next Fri day.

The Sunday game between Milwaukee and St. Louis resulted in favor of St. Louis 5 to 4; Taylor and Rettger did the pitching for tho Browers, and only two errors were made behind them. The Washington Post says: "Bert Myers will prob. My figure in a deal that will trans fer him from Milwaukee to Washington. Bert positively refuses to sign the contract for warded him by Pr<*sidi i • Ban Johnson, of the Western league. This contract demands that Myers must work for $75 less per month than his contract cf last season cal.cd frr. Myers is sufficiently seasoned to be worthy of a trial at the third corner of the Waslvingtrn diamond. If he Is secured by Earl Wagner for the Senators he will bo purchased out right or figure in an exenange." It Is now stated that Brooklyn took Tuck er away from Omaha simply to speculate with, and Manager Barnie has offered to trade him to St. Louis for Pitcher Taylor or Shortstop Cross. Bert Inks has broken into the base ball arena again, and recently held the Bostons down to three hits during the three Innings he pitched. Pitcher Foreman is one of the Indianapolis holdouts who recently succumbed to Man ager Allen's arguments and signed a con tract. It is reported that Amos Rusie's pitching wing is badly strained and weak as the re sult cf the spring work in New Jersey. Buckley, Kuehne. Butler and Streit have joined the Columbus team. Pitcher Wolters has net signed a contract yet. Chauncey Fisher is at Indianapolis prac ticing with the Boosters, and says he has not signed yet with the Ourahas. Detroit has released Stewart and Lee Dill ard. Van Derbeck has so far been unable to sign Davis and Hahn. John Ganzcl met with an accident in prac tice at Kansas City that puts him out of the gamo temporarily. The Index finger of his right hand was split In the practice. The Reds' receipts on their practice trip have exceeded thoie of the entire Southern tour last season. Frank Selee Is seconding Nicholas in his demand for $3. 000. The club owners, however, refiiFO to grant the Missouri boy his de mand. Toronto is making a strong effort to buy Shortstop Wagner's release from Washington. Wagner played with Toronto last season, a-.id is quite a favorite over the Don. Pitcher Kaufman has not shown Patsy Tibfau much form and he will be "farmed" out before the season is very old. There are others that will suffer the same fate. The general impression among the players is that Dahlen is about as well adapted for the captaincy of the Chicago team as Peter Maher in the role of secretary of war and arbiter of the Spanish imbroglio.— Exchange. r.illy Hart, who was injured by a batted ball in practice at Little Rock last week, is resting at his home at Bond Hill, O.

Insurgents Claim nig Victories in Cuba. KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 10.— An agent of the Cuban government arrived here today and is groins on to New York. He reached Port Antonio on Fri day by the Brcoklinie. According to advices from Santiago de Cuba small engagements are of daily occurrence in the country along the River Cauto. Gen. Bando and 1,000 Spaniards are operating near Bayamo, Where the in surgents have them practically sur rounded. Americans who arrived on the Brookline declare that the opera tions must be active, because for the la?t tvvo wee-ks wagons loaded with women and sick have entered the city daily from the field. Senor Estrada Palma cabled the local 'junta yesterday to suspend the fitting out of an expedition here for Porto Rico pending further advices. The junta has agreed to make certain pro posals to the American consul, Mr. Dent, that in the event of war they will furnish pilots into safe, undefend ed or uncharted harbors. Mr. Radell, a well known merchant of Santiago da Cuba, cables today to have a steamer sent to take off fifty Cuban families, the best in the city, who wish to leave because of the prob abilities of war. Efforts will be made to charter a British steamer for this purpose. Some Americans are left there also who wish to leave, including George Fox, auditor of the Juragua Mining company, and ten others connected with tibe same company, most of whom are Philadelphians.

SPAIN RELIES ON POWERS EXPECTS THEIR SUPPORT IN HER LATEST MOVE An Implied Promise Claimed That They Lend Aid in Enforcing a Cessation of Hostilities in Cuba If America and the Cubans Re fuse to Accept tbe Conces sions. MADRID, April 10— The day has passed quietly and without special in cident. Enormous crowds going to and coming from the bull tight passed within easy sight of Gen. Woodford's house. Large reinforcements of police and civil guards were posted near and also in front of the P»ank of Spain and other public building's. Just as the crowd was returning Gen. Wood ford and Miss Woodford, who had been spending the afternoon in the park, walked to their residence. The Epoca (Conservative) will this evening approve the resolution of the government "concerning a prudential truce on the petition of the pope and powers," adding that by so doing the question is not concluded, and that Spain is left in a better position for subsequent events. RESTS WITH AxMERICA. Spanish Opinion on the Question of Peace or War. MADRID, April 10.— The Epoca (Conser vative) says that it now lies with America to decide whether she will co-operate with Spain for peace. If a new demand be made or President McKinley's message, be not conciliatory it will be proved that America wishes to provoke a quarrel. Tho paper continues: "Wo do not consider the con flict ended by this truce. The jingoes' enor mous influence in America and that of the nsurgents may turn the truce into a fiasco; but despite all tnis we think the govern ment's action wise to fix the responsibility upon America." Regarding the reception of the news of the government's action, the Epoca says all the anti-dynastic parties bitterly oppose the action of Spain, and announce meetings to be held to protest: but they will come to naught, as the civil governor will prevent all meetings either favoring or opposing the decision. Tho Nacionai (Conservative organ of Ro mero Roibledo) is bitterly hostile to today's co :■ cessions, and says tho government call ed hi tin- Furopean powers to witness a scene of Spun, .s disgrace. For this lan guage the Nacionai was confiscated tonight. El Heraldo remarks that th. Fix powers have put Spain "between the dcv.l and the deep sea" by saying "grant a;i ai --r.'iaU -<■ or we will hold you responsible for the war." The paper expresses the hope that tho country will restrain its passions in the presence of the sad events. The Correspondencia Militaria (service pa per) says that Senor Moret, realizing the failure of his autonomy policy, got tho queen to write to the pope, whose interfer ence partially failed until supported by the European powers, who, following the con cert example of 1897. so pressed the weak er power that the result was a renewal of the peace of Utrecht. Spain losing honor and territory. EI Heraldo de Madrid says: "Though the greatest order is maintained in the crowded streets, yc-t the government is suspicious notwithstanding the precautionary orders given yesterday." El Globo (Liberal) devotes its leading edi torial to telling the nation that ths govern ment has carried out Spain's wishes under the circumstances, yielding only to tho voice of united Europe and not to tho United States. It says: "Europe will now support Spain, should the United States continue to aid the insurrection. Spain i 3 stronger than ever." El Libera!, in a highly significant arti cle, says: "The government has signed a blank form, which others will fill up. Spain yields everything to the voice of Europe, yet the via crucis is only beginning. The collective note shows that Spain's sur render will serve as the basis of new nego tiations, whence will issue the necessary guarantees for the re-establishment of nor mality in Cuba." El Liberal plaintively says it is impos sible for Spain to avoid a "feeling rf deadly sadness." Still it advises the people to remain quiet, as "perhaps Europe l.iay exact concessions from America and also defer the reckoning day." El Imparclal (Independent) severely slashes tho government for, after boast ing that it would not grant an unsolicited truce to rebels, "yielding to brute force what it refused to yield to the moral in fluence and fatherly counsels of the pope." "We do not know a foreigner's opinion of the government's surrender," says El Im partial, "but the bourse salutes It with a rise. With the deepest sadness, before the manifest incapacity of the present gov ernment, and remembering also that in ternal peace is highly in danger, we, to day, proclaim the following conditions as necessary for honor: A twenty days' truco for the rebels' submission, and the con centration of our naval forces at Cuba. If the truce lapses without result, th?n ceaseless war against the rebels and against the United States." El Pais (Republican), under headlines such as "A Great Betrayal," and "Spain Sold," says: "The presont outburst cf Spanish indignation resembles electric dis charges. If the government sounds pub lic opinion, it will find this of evil augury and threatening, asking who is the Judas, If It be one traitor or several, who have sold Spain, thinking that the Spaniards are eunuchs. Let him know that he is mistaken." El Pals draws a picture of a street group, gathering about, an orator haranguing them: their passions surging, some one raised the cry, "Viva Espana." the flag is produced and the enthusiastic multitude fol'ows it. "Whither, we know," says EI Pais; and answers: "Perhaps to settle ac counts with the betrayers of Spain's hon or." NOT AN ARMISTICE. Cessation of Hostilities nt tbe Re quest of tlie Powers. MADRID, April 10.— 10 a. m.— El Im parclal says that Lieut. Gen. Correa, minister of war, in a conversation yes terday with several people, expressed himself as follows: "It is an error to say that the government has granted an armistice to the rebels. I would never give that before leaving the min istry, because it would be the same thing as recognizing the belligerency of the rebels. "The government has granted the wishes of the powers, that we should cease hostilities during the delay which Gen. Blanco judges prudent, for preparing peace. I acceded to a cessa tion of hostilities, because to refuse the wishes of the powers would be to divorce Spain from the world. If I left the cabinet, I should be placing my successor in an awkward position. "Gen. Blanco will probably publish a proclamation of truce and also an other offering indulgent terms during the cessation of hostilities. If, during this period, there are important sub missions, and the United States with draws its ships from the neighborhood of Cuba and the Philippine islands, all will be well ar.d peace will soon pre vail. Otherwise, the Cuban war will continue, and the powers wili be obliged to demand that the United States maintain absolute neutrality and enforce a dissolution of the fili bustering committee in New York. The armistice is not to prevent the Span ish government continuing its military preparations and placing the peninsu la, the Canaries, the Balearic Islands and Porto Rico in a state of defense." El Imparcial says that, during the cabinet council, a minister reminded his colleagues that the powers, before approaching Spain, approached the United States, getting President Mc- Kinley to delay his message to con gress and Gen. Woodford to withdraw the ultimatum. El Liberal says that effective mili tary measures were taken last even ing in this city, in view of possible disturbances; that the garrison officers slept at the barracks, and that the government officers were protected with additional guards. SIGHTED TWO WAR VESSELS. ' Captain of the Aller Reports the New Orleans nnd San PrancUao. NEW YORK. April 10.— The captain £g ,tfw BleamshAjj JLUer, which arrived here today, says that at 2 p. m., April 7, his vessel passed ■ within ten miles of two war vessels, both of which were painted white. The leading vessel was ringed with three masts and the other with two. Both were bound west and appeared to be going ait the rate of ten knots an hour. The vess3ls were sight ed in lat. 40.45, long. 48.49. These ves sels are evidently the New Orleans (formerly the Amazonas) and the San Francisco, which sailed from Graves end, Eng., two weeks ago today.

FORT MONROE, Va., April 10—The fact that this was not only Sunday, but Easter Sunday, made r.o special difference with the activity of those on the flying squadron to day, and there was much that was important done. In addition to the routine work on the Columbia and .Minneapolis some of the new men were drilled at the guns and the men on the Brooklyn were kept busily emnloved tak ing en ammuniiicn. All cf the vessels of the squadron are now well if not fully sup plied with ammunition despite sensational stories to the contrary. A eonferenee of all of the captains of the vessels of the fleet v/as held this alt- moon' on the flagship, presided over by Commodore Schley. At its conclusion that officer said that the meeting was held for the purpose ot talking informally over various plans for action. It was said also that Senator Proctor, who is here, and Commodore Schley had re ceived notice of an alleged outbreak in Porto Rico, and that the squ?drcn expected to sail in the morning C n;mcdj:e Schley dened that they had received any orders to move, and the fact that he remained ashore tonight was further confirmation of the denial. Tho merchant ship Merrimac, recently pur chased and which is to be made a collier l'c:- this squadron, went to Newport News to night to be transformed and receive coal. Commodore Schley said he had received no or ders to attach the ram Katahdin to his squadron, but she Is still lying here. It is be lieved that she will be left to guard the har bor In conjunction with Fort Monroe should the fleet sail. Within three hours from the time of receiving orders the squadron can be at sea. £S- BICYCLE NOTES. The longest engineered road in the worlel is in India. It is I.SOO miles in length and is kept in first-class con dition from end to end. The South African record for the hour was recently placed at twenty-eight miles, 935 yards. It was made by Jack Hunt, at one time a prominent English record holder. Though it has over $15,000 in the treasury and is one of the foremost race-promoting clubs in the world, the Melbourne (Australia) Bicycle club con tinues to hold its meetings an a grass track. Two of the Europc-an principalities have appropriated suns for the pur chase of bicycles for army service. Saxony has voted 28,7^8 marks for the purpose and Wurtemburg has appro priated 16,646 marks. If a lamp wick is not working prop erly it should be taken out and soaked in very salt water. Then dry it cut and give it another bath in salt water mixed with oil. This will make it burn clear and strong. The promoters of the big English football matches have arranged with a prominent tire concern to have paced cycling exhibitions during the progress of the games. Some of the most prom inent riders on the English path have already signed for the exhibitions. Wheelmen of this country who think the League of American Wheelmen alone in its class of organizations may be surprised to know that the Cyclists' Touring club, of England, has a cash balance in its treasury of over $35,000, antl its net assets, including invest ments in bonds, are over $60,000. A foreign bicycle paper gloats over the prospects for a war between Spain and the United States, and hopes that it will come in the very near future. The humane reason it gives for its hopes is that it may result in England getting back the foreign trade in bi cycles she has lost through Yankee competition. Long-distance riders on the track and century riders have found a sustain ing food in the ordinary dried raisin. It is claimed for it that it has been found better than beef tea or any of the ordinary stimulants. A prominent physician indorses its use for the pur pose and recommends it to all wheel men during a long grind. Platt-Betts, the little English flyer, who has been in Australia this past reason, has sailed for London, and will take a long rest. He will then go for ail records from the quarter to the i hour. It was thought at one time he I would return by way of America, and | that we would have a chance to com pare him with our record holders, but such is not to be the 1 case. The popularity of 30-inch wheels this year has caused the question as to the relative difference In different sized wheels, as to advantages or disadvan tages. Small wheels are not used be cause of the increased vibration. It has been found, after years of use, that twenty-eight inches are about right, for with them, there is little vi bration, and the larger sizes compel ad ditional weight, with but little differ ence in comfort. The style of wheelwomen has Improv ed greatly since the days when cycling first became fashionable. The attitude coming from having the saddle low and the handle bars high Is now al most a thing of the past, though oc casionally, even now, a rider can be seen with her knees nearly touching her chin, pedaling away totally uncon scious of the ungraceful figure she cuts. A rather novel race was run In France recently on one of the leading Paris tracks. At the conclusion of the regular meeting a race was thrown open to all spectators appearing In cy cling costumes, the purse being very smaJl. Some eighty entries were en listed, and as a means of enriching the surgeons it was a huge success. More than four -fifths of the riders fell be fore reaching the tape, and the remain ing riders furnished sufficient amuse ment for the entire party. It was the first effort of many of the riders to take the banked tracks, and the result may be imagined. An Inadvertence. From the "Washington Star. "You expressed some wonderfully apropos ana novel Ideas in that Interview," remarked Senator Sorghum's friend. "Yes," was the thoughtless answer; "that reporter Is ons of the most remarkable men for thinking up things that I ever saw."

CONGRESS IN A DILEMMA MESSAGE MAY CAUSE LONG DEBATE Majority of Republicans Want In dependence of Culm Recognized Under Any Circumstances— — Nearly AH Favor Intervention Week Will lie a History Maker. WASHINGTON, April 10.— Upon the presumption that Spain's offer of an armistice to the Cuban insurgents will make no change in the plans of the ad ministration, and that the president's message will go to congress tomorrow, the house this week will make history. In anticipation of stirring scenes and momentous action, every congressman has been besieged by hundreds uf friends for tickets to the reserved gal leries, and the general multitude, which must take its chances in the public galleries, on the principle of first come first served, are prepared to assault the capitol at dawn tomorrow. It is likely that hundreds will camp out on the marble steps all night, so intense is the desire to be present when the message is read. The public generally regards the mes sage as the prologue to a drama which may end in war before the curtain goes down. After the message is read tomorrow It will probably be referred to the com mittee on foreign relations without de bate. Such is the programme to which both sides have practically assented, with the tacit understanding that that committee will report on Tuesday the resolutions upon which the house will be expected to act. Any individual at tempt to frustrate this part of the pro gramme necessarily will prove abor tive. With the gravity of the situation confronting them, members on both sides have been sobered, and seem im pressed with the idea that things should proceed in regular and orderly way. It seems almost certain now that there will be a conflict, both in the committee and in the house, as to the nature of the resolutions upon which the house will be called upon to act. Views "Vary. Individual views vary greatly from those who desire a direct declaration of war based on the theory that the blowing up of the Maine was a hostile act, and a few who are opposed to any action whatever. But the real contest, of course, will be between those who desire to follow what is now generally accepted as the president's recommendation, armed intervention, and those who desire the recognition of the Cuban republic. The Democrats, both of the commit tee and the house, have taken a posi tion In favor of the recognition of in dependence, although there is a differ ence of opinion as to whether inter vention should follow. A majority of the Republicans have, within a 'few days, declared themselves for . inter vention and independence. Twa of them, Messrs. Quigg (N. V) and Henry (Ind.), while they do not favor recog nition of the existing republic, have earnestly advocated a declaration to the effect that Spain's dominion over the island shall cease, leaving to the future the question of the actual gov ernment of the island. But, in the de sire of the Republicans of both houses to secure harmony of action, some of the advocates of independence have about come to the conclusion that the difference between armed intervention and recognition is more technical than substantial, as, unless the island should be annexed, to which they are op posed, a republican form of govern ment for the island must follow. . It seems probable that existing dif ferences may, at least to some extent be adjusted, and whether all the Re publicans agree to a resolution declar ing for intervention only or not such a resolution will be reported. It seems equally certain that a resolution for independence, possibly coupled with intervention, will be presented by the minority. No definite arrangements have yet been made as to the debate, but there seems to be no demand for prolonged time. Mr. Bailey, of the mi nority, thinks two days ought to suf fice, and some of the Republicans think our action would be strength ened if there were no debate at all Two days seems to be the general opinion as to the length of the debate There probably will be considerable pressure for time for brief speeches Many members desire to bury their hatchets in the painted war post. But as*ro Jh/ l° m F° Ur ' d tor difference nnd tn» cha, ;? cter of the resolutions, ?•£-,• \ he CiUestloT i as to the possible liability of the United States for the Spanish bonds, based on the Cuban revenues, in the event of intervention" without recognition, will be thorough^ discussed. Whatever time is not ol cupred by the Cuban question will be devoted to the consideration of con- S&ffgg ca6ea ** the £s SENATE MAY BALK. Matter May Be Taken Out of the Hands of the Committee. WASHINGTON, April 10.-The week in the senate probably will be riven entirely to the Cuban Question ' The president's message is counted upon to arrive soon after assembly at noon tomorrow. It will be referred promptly to the committee on fore'°-n relations, and the present understand ing is that no report will be made by the committee before Tuesday Tiv> report may, in the case of the develop ment of radical differences in the com mittee, be delayed even to a later day- There is a decidedly strong disposi tion on the part of many of the sen ators who are not members of the com mittee to have the senate as a body take up the subject of shaping the committee's report contemporaneously with the committee, and it is not im probable that a secret session of the senate may be held tomorrow with this purpose in view. The purpose of this movement is, as has been frequently stated, to secure as near an approach to harmony in the senate as possible and it is believed that this can be best accomplished by having the senate agree upon the form of the resolution before it goes to the senate for action. The present tendency in the senate is to confine the congressional fulmina tion to a declaration for armed inter vention, leaving the recognition of in dependence to come later, and it now appears probable that the foreign rela tions committee will report in favor of this course, though not without some dissent. If the meeting of the committee to be held before the receipt of the mes sage should develop that such action can be secured from the committee and in a way to insure harmonious action on the report in the semate, then there prolmbly would be no occasion for a discussion of the form of the resolu tion before taking up the real ques tion at issue. Senators as a rule show very slight inclination for other subjects, and the chances are that, if the senate does not adjourn soon after receiving the mes sage, the Cuban question will come up in some shape tomorrow. Yet it is barely possible that the whole matter will be deferred until the foreign re lations committee can make its report. A resolution can scarcely get through the senate without arousing some dis cussion, as there are senators who are opposed to any action at all, whether for Intervention or independence. Sen ator White, of California, is one of these, and he probably will discuss amy resolution reported. There are several senators who now say that they will Insist upon the recognition of Independ ence in any action taken, and that they will be heard from in opposition to any measure that does not provide for this. If opportunity appears, the sundry civil appropriation bill will be finally disposed of, and it is possible that the naval appropriation bill will be report ed from committee and taken up later In the week.

April 10,-The United States cruiser Topeka (formerly Dio genes) in command of Lieut. John J. Knapp and the torpedo boat Somers, Ensign C. w! Hazleton commanding, which were en route for the United States, put in here today. After clearing Portland Bill, such a heavy sea was encountered that the Somers was almost buried, aud Lieut. Knapp deemed it safest to return. About thirty of the To peka's crew refused to sail In her, neces sitating the shipping of others to fill their places. The Somers, It is found, sprang a leak, but her officers do not regard the injury as serious. Her crew, however, became fright ened and struck. Being merely hired hands, not enlisted men, they are not amenable to \ naval discipline, and Lieut. Knapp Is en deavoring to secure a frtsh crew. OUR WARSHIPS.
