Another Account.
The weather was very favorable for
the Yacht race to-day the wind ut the
time of starting blowing freshly from
the South. The beach, the hotel porcheS
and all other eligible positions, were
crowded with spectators. At 1925 the
first gun was fired, and the second gun
ten minutes later, when the yachts mad
for the line. In about minute and
half, she first boat, the schooner ldler,
passed and started on her course with ev-
ery sail drawing. In quick order
followed the schooners Kesolute and
Rambler. At l0:40 the Mohawk, closely
hugged by the schooner Eva, passed out.
The sixth boat was the sloop Sadie. One
after another passed until just before the
fifteen minute gun, shutting out all COM
petitors. The fourteenth, and last yacht,
made the line as the vessels got fairly on
the course and stood out to sea. The sight
was exceedingly beautiful, and all
were recompensed for yesterdays dsap-
pointment. Shortly before . o'clock the
ileet came in sight on the return trip, all
pretty well together, and by 10 all
were in sight, with the Eva apparently
leading, well to windward. The Mohawk
appeared about fourth, with the fresh
breeze which had got round Il little TO the
west. The Mohawk crossed the line at 2:26.
In minute and half the ldler passed,
and was received with two guns from
the Tallapoosa. In another minute and
half the Resolute sailed by third. At
ter an interval of ten minutes and half,
the Rambler was saluted rs fourth, and
in a minute and a half moro the Madeline
came in fifth. The sixth yacht to cross
the line was the Eva at 2:45; the Dread
naught was the seventh at $50; the
eighth was the sloop, the
Vindex, for which the gun was
fired at 2.43; next came the sloop Sadie
at 800. This makes the Vindcx win
ner of thousand dollar prize for sloops.
The finish was very exciting, the handl-
ing of yachts being superb.
Extraordinary Cabinet COnnci1 Call
ed By Secretary Fish.
WASHINGTON, July l3.-An cxtraor-
dinary council OF the cabinet member
having been called by Secretary Fish,
they met to-day, at the department of
State, continuing in session about three
hours. All were present excepting
Secretary Belknap, who is absent in the
West. The subject OF our relations
with Venezuels wa, laid before
the council by Secretary Fish, who
read the latest communications from our
Minister to that country, and stated the
general facts in the case. 1t may be re-
collected that in December, 1872, the
President announced that the Gov
ernment of Venezuela had made
no further payments on ac-
count ofthe awards under the conven-
ton of 1866, and expressed hope that it
would lose no time IN providing for the
unpaid balance of its debt to the United
States, winch having originated in injuries
to our citizens, by the Venezuelan au-
thoritieS, and having been acknowledge
cd, pursuant to treaty, in the
most solemn form among nations,
would, the President said seem to deserve
a preference over other debts of differ
ent origin and contracted in different
manner, and he recommended this sub
iect to the attention of Congress for such
action as might be deemed proper. In
pursuance of this recommendation,
Congress, in joint resolution, expressed
its sense in regard to the award Of the
Joint Commission under convention and
the Venezuelan government was lurn
ished with copy of the resolution,
which excluded all doubt of the earnest
ness of our Government IN its demand
for the payment of the amount due, but
there WAS no satisfactory response on the
part of the Venezuelan Government.
In 1873 the President IN his annual mes
sage said to Congress: at is apprehende1
that that government uoes not rea!lHe
the character OF its obligation under that
convention, rs there is reason to believe.
However that its hesitancy i'll recogniz-
ing them springs in part at least rom the
real difficulty in discharging them in
connection with its Obligations to other
governments, the expedency of further
torbearance on our part is believed to be
worthy of your consideration; since then
our minister at Venezuela has been rC-
peatedly instructed to urge the payment
of the deferred installments until at last
the Venezuelan government has express
ed disposition to do So but claims the
privilege OF designating the particular
parties to whom the money shall
be paid, but to this our gov
ernment will not consent. The
propositions, apart from other considera-
tions, being contrary to tho terms OF the
