Are Preparing (or Any Km.rgeney Which Might Aria. Chicago, Sept. 10. A special from Washington says: "Information as to the recent secret work in the navy department has leaked out, and the result is sufficient to justify the belief that President Cleve land is meditating seriously the possi bilities of hostilities between Spain and the United Btates in the near fu ture. "Whether the dispatch is due to a desire to recognize the Cubans aa bel ligerents or an intention to be in a po sition to enforce the Mora claim is un certain, but it cannot be denied that the state and navy departments have been unusually active in the last few weeks. Certain branohes of the navy department are now devoting their at tention to the Cuban matter almost ex clusively. "Acting under recent orders from Secretary Herbert, some of the officers have been working extra time securing data, the character of which is such as to indicate that the president and Sec retary Olney see the necessity of pre paring for active interevntion in tho affairs of Cnba. "Exhaustive reports have been pre pared for Secretary Herbert and the president on the condition of the navy for a descent on Cuba. The question of transports and facilities for landing troops on the island has been looked into thoroughly, and the results filed with the secretary of the navy." A Washington special to the Tribune says in reference to Cuban matters: "Confidential information received by the Tribune showB that the presi dent's plans are more far-reaching than was generally anticipated. In the first place it was learned that Spain had at last been frightened into action and the Mora claim will be paid by exchange on London within a few days, all the arrangements to that effect having at last been completed by the Spanish ministers. "This information comes from a source beyond question, and from the some was obtained the prediction that within a month President Cleveland would take an active hand in the Cu ban question. It is said that a power ful syndicate has been formed in this country which will be prepared to guarantee the Cuban bonds preparatory to its acquisition by the United States." A special to the Daily News from Washington says: Minister Taylor has been instructed to demand from Spain protection for American missionaries on the Caroline islands. This question is several years old, commencing when our missionaries were persecuted and driven out of the Caroline islands by the natives. Spain, exercises authority over the islands, and full reparation was demanded for the outrages. Spain responded by the payment of (17,600 indemnity and promising protection to our missionaries in future, but by fail ing to stand by her declaration, Spain has made it impossible for the mission aries to safely return to the islands. The present demand is that the prom ise of portection be carried ont in a satisfactory manner. The Morn Claim. Washington, Sept 16. The methods tor the payment of the Mora claim have been definitely settled and a draft pre pared for the transfer tomorrow. It will oall for an equivalent in English pounds sterling of $1,499,000, made payable to Secretary Olney. The loss of fl.OOO from the amount, $1,500, 000, originally agreed upon is due to the difference between the values of the Spanish peso and the American gold dollar. - 1 The New found land Ulacloaures. St Johns, N. F., Sept 16. Receiver-General Scott, on a tour of in spection of the oustoms offices through out the island, has effected several seizures and promises to follow them up with many others. It is supposed that some of the persons involved here have purchased immunity by inform ing on the remainder. Great excite ment prevails in the city, and searches are being made at the rate of half a dozen daily, nearly all being suoessfui. All those conneoded are badly fright ened. - ' ' la Fltaaimuiona Weakening. New York, Sept 16. Bob Fitzsim mons, in an interview in a morning paper, declared he will not step into the ring at Dallas unless he is assured of a $30,000 interest in the kinetoscope scheme. - He says Joe Vendig, W. A. Brady and Corbett have sold the right to operate the machine at the ring, and that he is entitled to share of the profits. - Miller la Heady to Divide. San Franoisoo, Sept 14. Represent atives of Henry Miller, the survivor of the famons firm of Miller & Lnx, an nounce that he is ready to divide the estate with the Lux heirs. Two mill ion dollars is the amount that can be distributed right away. Miller charges that the Lnx heirs have been responsi ble for the delay in distributing the estate. The Portugueae Victorious. Lorenzo Marquez, Delagoa bay, Sept 16. A force of Portuguese encount ered 'a large body of natives under Chief Ziohaoha, Sunday at Madagut Severe fighting ensued, in which 800 natives wore killed. The Portuguese loss was six killed and twenty wounded. ACTION BY THE AUTHORITIES. Every Effort Made to Prevent the Im portation of Cholera. Washington, Bept 16. Dr. Wy mau, surgeon-general of the marine hospital service, speaking of theoholera in Honolulu said today that the quar antine service on the PaciQo coast is in a very good oondition. Every port of entry has boon inspected by the regu lar marine hospitul officer and compli ance with treasury regnlations assured. The marine hospistal service has quarantine establishments at Port Townsend, , Wash.; San Diego, Cal , and a complete quarantine plant at San Francisco, with regular officers of the service in charge. At Gray's harbor, Wash., there is a sanitary in spec tr of marine service, aud one at Empire City, Or. The ports of Port laud and Astoria, Or., are in charge of state officers, acting under special in structions issued by the marine hospi tal service. At Eureka, Cal., there is a regular sanitary inspector. A special regulation has been issued regarding the disinfection of all bag gage from all porta of the Orient, in cluding Hawaii. The United States consul at Yokohama has a physician to assist him in the inspection of vessels. Dr. Wyman wrote to the chief quar antine officer of Canada to inquire what has been done regarding protecting the northern frontier from immigrants coming by way of British Columbia. He was informed that the Canadian authorities had been forestalled by the steamship companies, who, as long ago as July, refused to bring Japanese iin migants because of the fear of deten tion of their vessels. Confeaalon, But 'o Repentance. Tahloquah, 1. T., Sept 17. "Frog" Davis, who killed Sheriff Mushgrove, of the Cownee district, last summer, was executed at the national prison to day. He protested his ianocenoe until few minutes before climbing the ssaffold, in the hope that something might be done to stay the execution. On the scafiold he made a long talk, saying that he was the bravest man that ever died by the gallows. Not a tremor passed his lips, and he seemed perfectly at ease. He did not regret the crime. He said be would have killed Mushgrove's entire posse had they not been hidden behind trees. Within twelve minutes after the drop fell, he was dead, having died of strangulation. Opium Smuggler. Drowned. Victoria, B. C, Sept 16. It has just leaked out that James Harvey and a man known only as Bill were drowned in Hawaii during the cruise of the i Victoria schooner Norma. They came off to get opium thrown overboard from the Norma and were drowned in the breakers. Neither of the bodies was recovered. Harvey and his companion, known all over the coast as "Me and Bill," were in the crew of the famous smuggler Halcyon during all her operations. They were a mysterious pair, and no one ever knew much about them or their past Even Bill's second name is not known. They were middle-aged men. Exeuralon Rate. Made. Chicago, Sept 18. At a general meeting of all lines in the Western Lines Passenger Association it was de cided that a rate of 70 per oent of the double local rate should be granted for the Atlanta exposition, effective Sep tember 25. It was also decided that the summer tourist rates to Utah, Montana, Idaho and Eastern Washing ton shall be allowed to remain in force all the year round. This was to meet the action of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, which declared some time go that they would make the rates effective all the year, no matter what action was taken by the other roads. Old "Pap" Jennlnga. Spokane, Sept 16. Old "Pap" Jen nings, who died in old age and squalor in a shack here last night, was at one time a prominent citizen of Oregon. His son Charles was a steamboat cap tain on the Willamette river. He left other children who are well connected. The old man had been on the down grade of recent years, and it is said his family disowned him. He eked out a precarious living here by doing chores. The old man will be buried in the pot ter's field. All Southern Paciflo Katea Reduced. San Francisco, Sept 16.

FAIR, FOUL AND FLUKE How Defender Won the Three Races for the Cup. VALKYRIE REFUSED TO START Before the Flnl.h Iaelin Aaked the Committee for Inatruetiona-Kone Given, and Defender Cro.ed. New York, Sept 14 The interna tional series between Defender and Valkyrie III for the America's cup is ended. On the whole it has been an extraordinary series, and, while the re suit is satisfactory to the American people, two at least of the contests which made up the match were not Defender won in a clean race Satur day: Tuesday last she crossed the line behind the English boat, but was awarded the race on a foul. Today she had a walkover. And today'r oc currence was all the more unfortunate, not only because the great crowd had gathered to witness the struggle, but because the weather conditions were such as to lead many to suppose that, of all days, Valkyrie would be in her element Lord Dunraven said last night and ' be said it most emphatically that he would withdraw his boat on the mor row if a clear course were not provided. He claimed that during the previous race his boat had been greatly inter f erred with, and as everything de pended upon the outcome of the third series, he adhered to that decision so closely that Valkyrie merely crossed the starting line and then retired from the contest Defender, who was well in advance when the handicap gun was fired, continued on her journey and went over the course well within the limit By her three straight victories De fender retains the historio cup for America. The same race scheduled for today promised to be more exciting than either of the two preceding, for it was to be expected that every effort would be made by Dunraven, after Tuesday's disappointment, to score a victory with a boat he had brought so far. Yester day Valkyrie had been tuned up to the highest pitch in anticipation of today's contest Several alteratons had been made, and those upon whom her sail ing qualities depended mostly were prepared to expend every ounce of mus cle and skill to bring her over the line a victor. Lord Dunraven had expressed himself as apparently satisfied with the decision rendered by the cup com mittee on the fouling of the Defender by his boat, and the matter had seem ingly been settled so amicably that it was a question in the minds of the public if Tuesday's race would not be restated. Iaelln'a Sportamanllke PropoaaK . -New York, Sept 14. The Herald says: "The oup committee had a busy day yesterday.' When they went into session, early in the day, Lord Dunra ven'B letter was the first and most im portant matter to come up for consider ation. There was a long and serians discussion. Mr. Iselin visited the olub and at once appeared before them. He had learned of the decision of the regetta committee awarding the race to Defender, and his mind was quickly made up as to what course he would take. He formally asked the cup ooin mittee whether they would object should he propose to Lord Dunraven to resail the race. They replied that no objection would emanate from them, and Mr. Iselin departed. "The work of the committee did not end there. The matter before them was of a more serious character and demanded careful deliberation. They were still in session when evening came, and members began to throng the club in search of information. There was much speculation as to whether there would be another race, but no official statement regarding the matter was made. Rumor bad it that Lord Dunraven would refuse to sail bia boat again, but it was no more than a rumor. "Many members thought it would be thoroughly sportsmanlike of Mr. Iselin to offer to resail the raoe, but to those of the members who had seen Mr. Iselin earlier in the day he had given no intimation of his proposition before the cup committee. There were probably other details to be at tended to, for his proposition to Lord Dunraven was not forwarded until 8 o'clock in the evening and after a sec ond visit to the club. "It was late at night before the cup nommittee finished its session and its. determination and the offer of Mr. Iae lin to Lord Dunraven was made known. The announcement gave gen eral satisfaction then, and Mr. Iselin was commended on all sides. That as the true spirit, declared the yachts men, and there was strong denunciation of the crowding of excursion boats. "After the meeting of the oup com mittee, J. Frederick Tarns, speaking officially, said: " 'The oommittee have decided that if the overcrowding that has marked the previous races occurs again, there . will be no contest The start will not be made, no matter what the delay, until the excursion boats are a half mile distant on all sides of the contest ants. The aooident to Defender would never have happened had this rule been observed. ; - " 'Whether there will be a raoe or not depends wholly upon the captains of the pleasure craft , The committee have come to their decision after the most mature deliberation, and if at any time during the contest there is any overcrowding such aa Lord Dunra ven cites, whether to either Defender or Valkyrie, the raoe may be declared off and sailed at tome time and place rWT'"" -
