SPANISH MINISTER DEAN OF DIPLOMATIC CORPS, CONGRATULATES AMERICAN EXECUTIVE FOR WORK HEaCCOMPLISHED. Havana, Jan. 2. The inaugural step toward re-establishment of the Cuban republic was marked with the, New gear's reception at the palace yesterday, when Gen. Magoon, who for more than two' years has been ruler of the island, formally prewmted the'.' diplomatic representatives and consular officers, the supervisors of the governmental departmental, ifce judges of the supreme court and the minor courts, the presidents of commercial guNds, the representatives of the foreign and cutrve press, the oScors of the Cuban armed forces and many prominent citizens to the president -elect, Gen. Joee Miguel Gomes, and tie viee-presidvnt-elect, Alfredo Zayas. The palace was beautifully decorated and Cuban military bands played in Ihe court yard during the reception, which lasted from 10 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Governor Magoon received in the grand salon. He was attended by his rids in full uniform, wUh Gen. Goxacz, Secor Zayas and the former American consul, Frank Steinharf. who was the (fficial adviser of the governor during the whole period of intervention, standing at his right. Governor Magoon Congratulated. The Spanish minister. R. Guytan de Ayala, the dean of the diplomatic eocpa congratulated Governor lagoon on the success of the provisional government, which was about to end. He said: "The exactness in keeping the promises of President Roosevelt In behslf of the intervening nation to restore Cuba to the exercise of self govern ment impresses us with a sense of high moral significance of the government which conferred upon rou this dtmcnlt and high mission, and fills with Joy the hearts of the Cuban people. Oor sincere -and . best, wishes , accompany you wherever your government finds any adequate place to utilize your ser vices." .. . . . - The governor, expressed his thanks, saying, after reference to the success ful elections: ' . . "The new administration,, therefore, assumes office supported by the confidence of the country and the fran cbise of the people. The -commercial industrial and agricultural situation is excellent. Law. order, peace, tranquil ity and prosperity have not only been established, but have prevailed for a sufficient period to justify the belief that such conditions will continue and nro as permanent in Cuba as In any ether country." The reception was attended by poll ticians representing all parties, who united in extending to Gen. Gomes their warmest wishes for the success of his administration. Preparations for turning over the machinery of the government to-the incoming president are practically complete. Not the least disturbance in the, governmental func tions will attend the transfer of au thority immediately on Gen. Gomez taking the inaugural oath at noon on January 28. The only important measures still pending is the decree relative to the loan of $13,000,000, which probably will soon issue, and the promulgation of a civil service law and a law govern ing the executive power, which now is In the hands of the advistory commis sion and shortly will be presented to the governor' for his approval. Governor Magoon will depart tomorrow for an extended tour to the east ern end of the island, returning in ten days, when' he will convoke congress to scrutinize the vote of the electoral college. This will be followed by session of congress on January 20,.at which the formal declaration of the election of the president will be made Thursday the first detachment of homeward bound troops from the Am erican army of pacification sailed for the Philadelphia navy yard on board the auxiliary criser Prairie. This consisted of 587 marines. The transport McClellan sailed yesterday ; with the families of the officers and the Sum ner with the Twenty-eighth infantry. THE THEA TER "East Lynne." One reason for the undying popularity of "East Lynne." the great emotional drama, which will be presented at the Gennett theater , Jan. 7, by splendid company, is your interest is at once excited when Richard Hare is suspected by the villainous Sir Fran els Lerison. Richard's attorney is Archibald Carlyle. who has just taken as his bride,. Lady Isabel, the pretty daughter of an impoverished earl." Is abel's jealousy is wrought upon by the clandestine meetings between her hus band and Barbara Hare, Richard's sis ter. These meetings merely have to do with Richard's trial, but Lady Isa bel, not knowing this, and being goad ea on by the. scheming Sir Francis, who loves her, consents to an elope ment, Archibald Is plunged into de spalr, but after a lapse of years, hav ing secured a divorce, he rewards the unselfish love of Barbara Hare ' by making her his wife. 5X

BROADWAY HAS A FROLIC. New York, Jan. 2. Although . New York held its real New Year's celebration Thursday night and in the early jubilation over the advent of 1009 was vente'd In a record breaking riot of noise and revelry,' New Year's day pro per was . not wanting in features to mark it as a holiday that the city still observes with functions of a character distinct from those of any other of the year's feasts. While the old . fashioned custom of paying calls" has practically died out in society of all prades, "open house' is still largely the order with the clubs and many other organisations which have homes of their own to which their frilends may. be welcomed. Numerous such functions were on the program while in private homes New Year's dinner was the occasion for many family reunions, while the hotels and the restaurants, big and little, were crowded with holiday dinner parties. Thousands Attend Theaters. Unlike Christmas, the New Year's day is a gala day with the theaters, and capacity audiences were the rale in play houses all over the city, from the 5-cent moving picture places still operating under court dispensations, to the habitues of grand opera," whereasin the homes of comedy, drama, farce, and vaudeville special matinees were steeo for the benefit of holiday makers. With the day witnessing the opening of the automobile sow and with numerous sporting events Indoors and out on the cards, other forms of amusement and relacation for the buehaess free multitudes of the metropolis shu a not laokthg. In many of the churches New Year servaoes and awttafm were held. id smnflatlum of an serts gave their ocu pants as large a measure as possible of holiday cheer by serving special wp nets amd gtving enterteiameats. Offenders Shown Leniency. Special favors were extended to inmat e of the jails and prisons, while the courts were lenient tn their deal lass with delinquents. One of the organizations to keep open house from noon to midnight was the National Democratic club. Richard Croker was at the club nearly all day and numerous democrats of local and national prominence dropped in to pay their -respects. At the Twenty-third street branch of the Y. M. C. A. a recption was held in honor of Ma j. .Gen. Leonard Wood, LYS. A. commander bf the Department of the East More than a thousand persons shook the general's hand and tendered him. the congratulations of the day. - , BOWLER8 ATTENTION !

Thousands of bodies still Me festering in the debris, and it will be some time before they can be reached. Supplies Unequal to Domond The lack of water continues to be one of the main difficulties, and despite the continued arrival of fresh relief ships ' from several Italian ports the supply - of foodstuffs and medi cines still is far below the' demand Italian soldiers and sailors and Russian, British, French and German sailors are working indefatigably under the most trying conditions, but the task is so enormous that their great and willing efforts seem sometimes al most hopelessly insufficient Urgent, appeals for help from the ruined villages on both sides of the Strait of Messina are being responded to as far as possible, but in view of the immense demands in Messina it self it is difficult to spare either men or stores from that center. Efforts are now concentrated to at tending and transshipping the wound ed and feeding and- sheltering the des titute. Search for the dead has been abandoned temporarily. Archbishop Gives No Hope. In the opinion of Cardinal Francisco Nava, archbishop of Catania, the Am ericans -who have members of their family at Catania and the thousands of Italians in America with near rela tives there about whom they - are in doubt "unfortunately have little com fort." .... - "There is no exaggeration of the accounts sent from here," said the cardinal in Catania tonight. What we know of the losses at Pompeii and Herculaneum is surpass ed by those ; today of Messina and Reggio, not to speak of the innumerable small villages which are mater ially damaged. "All Catholics applaud the initiative of King Victor and Queen Helena In coming to us and personally I wish to add my testimony that their pres ence had the most beneficent effect in canning ue excitement and -en couraging the people-. ine personal ODservauon ot my lieutenants is that it would take a lifetime for Messina and Reggio. to re cover.

POLO LEAGUE IS TO BE FORMED

Meeting of Semi-Professional Teams to Be Held at New Castle. RICHMOND IS INCLUDED PROPOSED DRAFT OF SCHEDULE OF TWENTY-FOUR GAMES, TWO OF THEM TO BE PLAYED EACH WEEK. Plans for the organization of the semi-professional polo league will be completed tomorrow at a meeting of the representatives of the seven pro posed towns at New Castle. Who will represent this city has not been de termined upon, but whoever does will demand that for this season the im portation of stars will not be made by any team, but that the teams be composed of players living In or near the town which they represent. This is to be advanced for two reasons. One, and the most important, to edu cate the people to professional polo again, and the second to keep expenses at a minimum. The personell of the loeal lineup has not been determined, but will include players of the best ability in the city league. At the meeting tomorrow a schedule of twenty-four games for each team, or two panes a week, one at home and the other abroad will probably be drafted. Up to date the proposed teams include Richmond, New Castle, Anderson, Etwood, Muncie, Marion, Martinsville and Hamilton, O. The league representatives will perhaps decide which one of these latter two places are to be admitted. Martins ville is favored among some of the managers. From reports made by local parties who have participated in or . seen games at the different cities in the gas belt, these towns are represented by former Ohio league players. It will be Insisted on by the local managers that the other towns be represented by semi-professional players. widows. Men probably in time will pick up spirit and provide for the remnants of their families, although of the many survivors who have come under my personal observation I have not yet seen an entire family saved. Invariably one or more members were lost "The holy father has been most lavish in his instructions to aee that funds are not entirely lacking. The question now is to organize our efforts in some way to reach the most needy." The cardinal appeared to be over worked and depressed. He remarked that so much misery, accompanied by a lack of necessities to relieve, was an almost insupportable burden, American Relatives Unappeased. "I have received several dispatches from America from Sicilians," he went on, "asking about relatives whom I find It impossible to trace; -also I have had many offers of money from there, some of general charity, but more frequently to trace and succor some specified persons who, alas! are never found." Die From Hunger and Cold. The relief work at Reggio now is under way on an organized plan. Many there who survived the earthquake since have died from hunger and cold. The mortality among young children from these causes has been great. Many of the injured, maddened by their wounds and by hunger,- despaired of aid and committed suicide. The stronger survivors first began looting whatever stores of food they could find, but it seems that this was checked much sooner in Reggio than In Messina. A large number of police and soldiers were hurried from Teranto. They established order and dealt out such food as was available in small doles.; The first outside help was brought by a torpedo boat on Dec 29, which landed a limited supply of food and medicines, but ' the debarkation of these and subsequent supplies- of all kinds has been most difficult - owing to the shattered coast and submerged buildings, s ; ' - Hew a Snake Sheds Its Skin. The human skin is abed In such minute pieces that it ordinarily cornea away unnoticed.

Charley Olson Will Challenge Mshmout If He Defeats Fred Beell. BOUT WITH BEELL MONDAY Chicago, Jan. 2. Charley Olson, the Indianapolis wrestler, said last night if he defated Been Monday in their match at the Coliseum, he would make overtures for a match with Yussiff Mahmout. "Beell and Amerlcua failed with Mahmout becase they didn't have the strength to follow up their tricks," Olson said. "I believe I am stronger than either of them, and as tricky, so I figure I can beat the Turk." Promoter. Jack Curley, who was punched accidentally by Raoul de Rouen, the Frenchman, Wednesday night, and lost two teeth, says he has forgiven the giant, who Monday night i meets Jess Westergaard. De Rouen equals Pardello as a rough house champion, and is unpopular enough to be a good attraction. Olson was a victor over the Italian Leo Pardello, in a hard bout in this city last night, winning In straight falls. RYAN BASKET BALL STAR. Columbia Captain Three Times Chosen as All American Center. One of the best all round athletes in the colleges today and one whose career is a refutation of the statement that one cannot follow sports and study successfully at the same time Is John J. Ryan, captain of the Columbia university basket ball team. Ryan was born in New York city on June 8, 1882. He prepared for college at the public schools and at Cooper Union and throughout his school days 1 ar JOHN I. TCt Alt, CAPTAIN OF COLUMBIA WU TXBSrir BASKET BAZiIi TSAX. was active in competitive sport, winning a number of victories for the SL Bartholomew A. C. of New York. The most notable of these was the Junior National A. A. TJ. shot put championship at SL Louis In 1004. During his freshman year, at Columbia Ryan showed his versatility by making the football, basket ball and track teams. The following year when Columbia abandoned football Ryan sought new fields to conquer and went out for the crew and wrestling team, making both. He also played on the basket ball team again, making center on the All American team. In his junior year he was elected captain of the basket-ball team and led the blue and .white through a victorious season. He crowned his athletic endeavors for his third year at college by rowing in the varsity eight at Poughkeepsie. Ryan is tall and spare limbed, but clean muscled and powerful, a typical athlete. He stands six feet .one and a half Inches and weighs 197 pounds. . As a basket ball center there are few, if any, that can compare with him. He easily outjumps his opponents, and few centers can claim to have scored against him. During last season he held the enviable record of having only one goal scored against htm during the entire season in the intercollegiate league. He has been the unanimous choice for" All American center for three years. Besides being a good student and a splendid ajhlete, he Is also one of the most popular men at college. He Is president of the senior class as well as chairman of the student board of representatives. Anson Proposes New Baseball League. A city league under national protection and a party to the national agreement Is the latest project planned by prominent Chicago semiprofessional men. Captain A. C Anson of Anson's Colts is the originator of this new scheme, the object of which is to give Chicago a minor league of its own and the big leagues a sort of farm from which to select likely young recruits. Anson. Jimmy Ryan and other Chicago baseball men win ask the national commission for protection and appear to be confident their petition will be granted. : .

WHITER BALL TALK, V Magnates Have Trading Stock, but Find It Hard to Swap.

EVERS TALKS OF RETIREMENT Chicago Nationals' Second Baseman Says Ho Will Devote His Time Hereafter to Editorial Work Managers Chance and Jones May Quit. Basebal! magnates of the American and National leagues arc in a tangle of proposed trades at the present time such as has never existed before. There is hardly a team in either league that hasn't some trading stock on hand, and it seems impossible for any two of them to come to an agreement. No club seems to have what the other fellow wants. It would seem almost advisable to have a board of arbitration appointed of noninterested parties to arrange the trades. So far this fall and winter the two St. Louis clubs have been more active on the market than any others, and the trades that brought Bresnaban to the Nationals as manager and Crlger to the Americans as catcher bare been the gossip of the fans the past few weeks. At the same time the oth er clubs hare been pulling numerous wires to land some favored player, but have generally been unsuccessful. Probably by the time the leagues get together in February a definite basis will have been established, so that by forming a few three or four handed deals the desired effects may be at-! tained. At present each club owner and manager is trying to slip something over on his neighbor, and when they have all learned that such a thing is practically Impossible they will get down to genuine business. An effort to strengthen the New York and St Louis clubs in the American , league and the Cincinnati, St. Louis, Brooklyn and Boston clubs in the National league has been the cause of much of the stir so far. It would be a splendid thing for the American league if the St. Louis club or the Cleveland club or the New York club could win the pennant next season. It would be a splendid thing for the National league If the Nationals could get a winning club In St Louis, for there is a lot of money for baseball in the Monnd City going to other purposes simply because the fans will not spend so lavishly on a loser. Cincin nati, too, is a fine baseball town, but has never had a winner, and the fans in the Queen City would show up all others If the Reds once landed on the top. There has been some talk of a deal between Washington and St Louis. Manager Cantillon Is after Hobe Fer ris, the Browns third sacker, and has offered Pitcher Bill Burns In exchange for Ferris. It is not likely that the trade will go through, as McAleer wants Pitcher Walter Johnson. Washington's star twlrler. McAleer's objection to. Burns is that the big south paw is one of those easy going, gigantic youths who can even sleep on the players' bench while a contest Is on. Honestly, the ball player's retirement stunt Is getting funnier than the farewell spiel of some pugilist Johnny Even, the Chlcsgo Nationals' star second baseman. Is out with the announcement that he intends to forsake the diamond for the sporting editor's-chair in Troy, N. Y, for at least a year. Now, the honorable position of sporting editor in Troy would cause Johnny to drag down about twenty or thirty plunks a week during the summer, while as second baseman on the Cubs he can command just about six times that much. No one has ever accused Johnny of being a philanthropist, and there is no evidence to show that Johnny ever endowed any charitable Institutions, so It's nrettv .soft, matter to. guess what H. G.
