Judging from the sale of tickets there will be a. record-breaking crowd in' at- tendance. In spite of the accession by D. C. A.

The grounds, made- soggy by the late rains, will be doctored to-day under the guiding eye of Manager Hastings. Oil will be burnt all over the field, beginning this morning, and the chances are. that the will be hard enough to trample upon and soft enough to make all "falls" not only safe but rather agreeable.

There will be a grand battle, and Manager Hastings says his team will win by at least IS to 0. In P. A.

The boys were out on the grounds yesterday morning and through hard practice.

He played and coached at the same time, and kicked like a steer because Greenway's gang would not push or change hard enough to suit him. Captain Young was dead In earnest all night, and his men went through all the plays with very few -breaks. Occasionally there- was a fumbie. aud their captain's honest he wouii rise.

It is erv likely that in to-morrow's game Gelbert and Ixiwrey will begin at halfback, as Eddie Brown is a little shaky about his sore tog. Jim Wagenhurst arrived from the East last night all alone.

He expected to find Farrar and Uffenheimer here, but aid that the latter must have missed the train. Wharton and Uffenheimer, however, are expected to report to-day.

and the Ex-Prisonera Are Now on Their Way to I nited States. HAVANA, Xov. 18. In accordance with the insttuctions cabled from Spain yesterday General Blanco released from Cabana fortress A If rede Lahore, Charles Barnett, Ona Melton and William Gildea, members of the crew- of the American schooner Competitor, which was captured in April, 1896, by the Spanish gunboat Mesagro and detained on a charge of filibustering. The released prisoners were delivered to the American and Rritish consuls, and have taken passage on th steamer Saratoga, of the Ward line, for New York.

A number of families who have been at Las Fosos under the "concentration" order will be removed at the expense of the municipality to a private hospital. There is no diminution in the mortality from starvation and disease. It is officially reported that the combined forces under Colonel Esteban recently had an engagement with an insurgent force under the leadership of Varano at Mogote. in the province of Pinar del Rio. with the result that the Insurgents were put to flight, leaving; 21 of their number dead on the field.

Among the slain were the leader, Tor-rionte. and the insurgent prefect of Galafre, Montes de Oca. The Spanish force captured a quantity of arms and ammunition, and also destroyed the insurgents' camp. The Infanta battalion, according to the official report, attacked a force of insurgents at Sierra Tngles, province of. Pinar del Rio, and the Spanish guide and seven soldiers were wounded.

The troops, the official report says, captured the mother of the insurgent leader, Nunez, and her two sons. Forty-one rities were seized, and the insurgent camp and huts were destroyed. There are as yet no signs of the reforms promised by Spain, and in consequence the hopes of optimistic autonomists have gone glimmering. The fault lies not with General Blanco. There is every reason to believe that his promises on arrival were made in good faith.

He is evidently deeply incensed at the -false position in which he is placed. He cabled a day or two ago to Madrid, saying General Weyler had deceived him as to the condition of the army, and that the government had misled him regarding their sincerity in promising autonomy, and broadly hinted that he felt inclined to ask to be relieved. A correspondent has just returned from a two days' trip through Havana to Artemisa. and reports that every military commander of a town who was met said he had not yet received any orders regarding the extension of the zones of cultivation, and that the condition of the reconcentrados is uq, altered, their sufferings being appalling. In conclusion he adds: "Unless General Blanco speedily makes more headway than he has done yet autonomy will be a dead letter in the Cuban issue." ANOTHER CONCESSION.

Believed Spain Is Ahont to Rescind Weyler's Edict Against Tobacco Exports. WASHINGTON. Nov. IS. Senor Itupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister, had a long conference with Assistant Secretary Day this morning, and it is believed that the Spunish government is voluntarily about to remove another troublesome factor from the field of negotiations in revoking the decree made by Weyler prohibiting the exportation of tobacco from Cuba.

This prohibition has worked great hardship upon large American cigar making interests, and up to this time, all efforts of the state department to secure an amelioration of the harsh conditions of the decree have been unavailing. The reason set up by Weyler for the order was the necessity of keeping in Havana the supply of tobacco necessary to run the domestic cigar factories, und thus, by giving employment to workmen, keep them from' drifting avay into the insurgent ranks. It was a matter of common report, however, that another potent reason was a desire to cripple the Cuban cigar makers in the I'nited States, from whom the insurgents drew funds. It now seems probable that the decree soon will be vacated. Reports that come to Washington are to tiie effect that the new crop of tobacco that will be ripe in February next is of excellent quality, and amounts to four-fifths of an average crop.

Buyers for foreign consumers arc already in the field looking over the plantations, ami it is expected that to facilitate sales the revocation of the decree of prohibition will soon be made. IMTKI) STATES IM.EASKIl. Expresses Satisfaction nt the Release of Competitor Prisoners. MADRID, Nov. IS.

At the meeting of the cabinet to-day a letter from United States Minister General Stewart L. Woodford was read expressing the satisfaction and gratitude of the United States Government relative to the settlement of the Competitor case and other current questions. The communication created a good impression in political circles. The Havana correspondent of the "Heraldo" of this city has cabled to his paper saying that in spite of the concessions made to the Cuban autono mists, anil in spite or tne appointment of autonomist prefects in the different provinces of Cuba, there does not exist a single sign of the approaching submission of the insurgents. Word has reached here that all the important insurgent chiefs of the Phil-Mppine Islands have surrendered to the Spanish authorities, and Captain General Prinio de Rivera announces the complete pacification of that colony.

MORGAN ON HAWAII. The Seuator Arrives nt Wnnhltuclon From Honolulu nnd (lives Kea-- sons for Annexation. WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, a member of the committee on foreign relations, has reached here on his return from Honolulu, where he went to Inform himself on the annexation question.

For the first time he submitted himself to-day to an interview on the results of his trip, and said: "It is our National duty, ami will be in every way advantageous to all concerned, to annex Hawaii to this country. The establishment of an outpost of th United States within the tropics, and within 2.2ifi miles of our coast, together with our Northwestern possessions on the Pacific coast, along; the Aleutian archlpelaco. which are over 1.000 miles west of Honolulu, would give us control of practically the entire American coast of the north Pacific. The intervention of the British possessions from the Straits tif Fuca to the northern boundary of Alaska creates a powerful reason for our occupation of Hawaii. "Beginning with Key West, we havi annexed the entire Gulf const to the Kio Grande by purchase of territory, and extending up the Rio Grande across the continent to the Pacific, we have annexed all the territory lying to the north of that line, ami have annexed the entire Pacific coast except the frontage of 6iX miles conceded to Great Britain.

This rapid and vast expansion has contributed much to civilization, and in none of the transactions have we cause for regret. "I have no fears of such expansion, especially as to possessions in the Pacific In those islands that constitute a part of the geographical and commercial svstem of the North American i tinent. There would not be Ihe slightest difficulty in the character. condition or wishes of the 31.000 native people of Hawaii. They are far better adapted to American citizenship than many millions of those whom we have welcomed here from Southern Europe, and are better adapted than the Indians, Mexicans am! native Alaskans."

They did not play for wind one during the contest.

Flowers kicked goal three times and Coach Woods tried one and Washington and Jefferson used the backs and ends in a very speedy manner in the second half and made all her gains around the ends. The interference was excellent and they rode Waynesburg down.

The Waynes-burg team was accompanied by about 100 rooters and a bras band of 17 pieces, who made things warm for their favorites. After the first when- Washington and Jefferson had only scored 6 points, thev almos went wild with enthusiasm. The-line-up: W. J. L'2.

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 18. There was a comparatively small crowd on hand to cheer the members of the Harvard football team as they left the square this afternoon. This was less due to lack of enthusiasm than to the fact that the team was on board of a special car of the street railway company, which was not allowed to draw up at the customary place for cheering, but started promptly for Bo3ton as soon as the men were on board. Just before leaving this afternoon the men were cafltd out for signal practice on Soliders' field.

The line-up. which will probably be the same on Saturday, was as follows: Left end, Richardson: left tackle. Wheeler: left guard. JBouve: center, Doucette; right guard. Haskell: right tackle, Haughton and Mills: right end, Moulton; qua terback.

Garrison; left tackle. LMb-blee; right halfback. Parker; fullback. Mills and Haughton. For substitutes there will be no lack in quantity, as the entir squad of 40 plavers will be at the game.

befons has a Harvard team been under more seriouK criticism than were the men. who tied Yale last week. The players have seemed to recognize the jus-tic of much that has been said, and have taken it to he-art. The result is thaT. they have a double end in view Saturday, and whether they win.

or lose, they can be counted on to piay a fierce game to the end. LOOK AT THIS LLVE-IT. Xot a Strange aine in the List, but Wait a Little. Special to The Pittsburg Post. LATROBE, Nov.

18. The Latrobe football team has been taking three practices every day with the coaches this wetk in preparation for Saturday's game with the County Capital eleven, at Greensburg. This is the first week that the local team has made st strong scrub team to line up against. The Latrobes are having two field practices daily, and an evening signal practice at the club room. They do not fear defeat, but expect a hard" and bitter game, in which they will wit out by a small margin.

It is estimated that Latrobe will furnish nearly l.tnw of the u.UOo who are expected to be at the game. The management will take about 18 men in uniform, and the game will be started with the good old favorite team that has upheld the red and the blue the fore part of the The team will line up as follows: G.

Speculation as to Vale is at a fever point. Few can be found who predict a Yale victory, but one of the eoachers has inspired big blocks of hope by the statement that Yale on Saturday will prove to be 3 per cent stronger than she was agai.iet HarVKrd. The Yale players retired early to-night. Tomorrow morning the men will attend recitations. In the afternoon, although no decision has been reached, they may be taken to ih f'd for exercise, and to-morrow night, the eve of the great battle, they will spend quietly.

"I have known Mr. Ketcham for some time.

Mr. Ketcham rose before I was awakened in he morning and called me. I protested against getting up so early, but he had not slept well and wanted to get out. "Arriving at a parsonage, I applied at the door and learned that the minister was away from home, but his wife had a neighboring clergyman called In to perform the ceremony. When we were married we ordered the driver to take us to the railway station.

This was for the purpose of misleading the hackman as to our destination. When he had left us we walked back to our hotel, where we breakfasted and left for Chicago on the 11 o'clock train."

SILVER IS THE ISSUE. Congressman MeMIllin Saya the Campaign of 1UOO Will Be Fought Along- Same Lines.

Special to The Pittsburg Poet. WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. Congressman Benton McMillin. of Tennessee, one of the veteran leaders on the Democratic side of the House, has returned to Washington for the winter, feeling in the best of spirits at the outlook for the party.

Mr. McMillin has been in the South much of the time Fince Congress adjourned, and has kept in touch with the people. He says the growth of the free silver idea is steady and healthful. It is the one great issue before the American peopie, and the campaign of liX. he says, will be fought along the same lines.

With reference to the coming session of Congress Mr. McMillin says he sees no prospect of legislation on the currency question. The Republicans are divided among themselves, and if it is brought before the House it will open up a debate that will probably range over the entire financial subject. Although the American people are heartily in favor of action on the Cuban question. Mr.

McMillin expresses the belief vigorous action will not be taken because the administration will not permit it. Killed His Sister's Sweetheart. Wl LLIAM STON. Nov. 18 John Burgess, a youth of 19.

Lively Mounted Exhihitions Attract Mueh Attention. SOME RATHER CLOSE COVI'ESTS. NEW YORK, Xov. IS. Trie horse show attracted another immense throng of people to Madison Square Garden to-night.

At the oiening of the evening exhibition the grand entrance looked from a distance like a mighty, seething torrent, so rapidly were the people coming in toaug-ment the thousands, already gathered in the garden. Mrs. Beach mounted on Miss Martha Cameron's Wasp was the center of attraction In the opening class of saddle ponies, which were summoned into the ring by the blast of a bugle. The evolutions of a squad of mounted police also greatly interested the spectators. The fear that this year would mark ther decline of Interest in the exhibition wnien has for 12 years been one of the events for both horsemen and society people is shown by the results to have been groundless, for not only has the high quality of the show been more than maintained, but the attendance has been better than in the past.

The first number of the evening was a class for ponies under 14 hands 1 inch to suddle. a moderate class competing and Jose Widener's Princess winning after a close contest, the second, Adam BecR'a Margie, crowding the winner hard. An exceedingly hot class for high steppers not under 13- hands 2 inches went in for the honors in class 51, and as the competition narrowed at the finish the tan bark ring was all but converted into a race course. Collectively the horses shown were an excellent lot. The sharps picked a half dozen that seemed likely winners, but the judges went back into the field and gave the blue ribbon to James Siillman's Sundown, the seeming best of the lot, Mrs.

Half a dozen of the field engaged did the six jumps clear, each in turn being loudly applauded. The interest in the competition was made evident by the fact that immediately after the jumping the crowd began to depart. The blue ribbon went to Ralph Pulitzer's American Beauty, she having taken all her fences in steeplechase style, racing to them without a show of hesitation and jumping resolute-lv. but carefully. A second trial over the hurdles was held before the second horse was picked from the five left in.
