A CLASH WITH SPAIN
Sensational Dispatches Re
garding Our Relations.
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT ACTIVE
They Say the Government Official. 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.

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'"" -
