Nationalities Matched in a Cali
fOPnia Contest

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2S.-What has
been termed an international tug of
war has been here for three nights past,
beginning last Saturday. The contest
ants are divided according to national
ity into ten teams-American, English,
Scotch, Irish, Canadians, Danes, Swedes'
Norwegians, Italians and Germans. and
the contest has created interest and eX-
element that has filled Mechanics pa
vilion with audiences of 10000 people
nightly. The chief events thus far has
been the pull between the Canadian aud
Danish teams. in which Denmark won
after a struggle OF over two hours, and
the pull between Ireland and England
last night.
The latter contest drew the largest
number of spectators that has witnessed
any athletic event in this city in the
past five years. The teams contended
every inch of rope desperately the ex-
cited spectators urging them on with
national cries. Ireland finally won,
after a tug of an hour and thee min
uteS. America aud Scotland, two un-
beaten teams, who have thus far won
each match with their respective oppo-
nents, pull against each other tonight,
and the result is expected to go far
towards determining who will be the
winner of the series. Three teams,
England, Italy and Sweden, have lost
each night, and the stipulatiOns are
that the team losing four matches of the
series shall drop out of the contest.

Sticks to Him.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The race for the
Cambridgeshire stakes. mile and 24O
yards, was run at the Newmarket
Houghton meeting to-day. 1t being the
principal event of the day, great inter
est was taken in the result. Another
fact which added interest to the race
was that the Prince Of Wales had three
e entries for the he's stakes; K ST. His royal high,
with his own horses. and to-day there
was no exception to the rule, one of his
entries running third in field OF twenty
nine starters, thus saving his stake, but
getting no share in the prize money.

Barbarous Affair.
New YORK, Oct. 2S.-About 200 sports
from this city and Brooklyn jOurneyed
up to Danbury, Conn, last night, where
they witnessed a kid-glove fight to the
finish between Jack Bates, OF Ohio, and
Joe Daley. of New York. 1t was after
l o'clock this morning when the men
entered the ring. Con McAuliffe,
brother of the famous lightweight cham
pion pugilist, was selected as referee,
and if ever man had his hands full it
was Con, as he had two wild eats to
handle, who toward the finish did
nothing but Wrestle, bite, scratch. gouge
and choke. 1t was sort of go-as-yOu-
please affair, and at one time it looked
as thongh the whole 200 were going to
take hand in the affray, as nearly the
entire assemblage were joStling each
other inside the ropes, which was full
twentyfour-foot ring. The fight lasted
eight rounds.
The eighth round was of short dura-
ton, as all the fight had been punched
out of Daley, and his only aim seemed
TO be to get out of the ring and as far
away from the fists of Bates as possible.
Finally, in his mad effort to escape, he
smashed Con McAuliffe in the face and
dove out through the ropes like an az
row and there was nothing else left for
McAulitfe to do but give the victory to
Bates. which he did, and then all hands
started for their homes.

SANTIAGO, Chill, Oct. 2S.-The Chilli
an government has replied to Minister
Egan's demand for an explanation of
the recent attack upon American sail
ors. The reply is couched in very
strong language, and it is understood
that it amounts to a refusal TO accept
responsibility for the affair. The state
department at Washington has been
notified. Minister Egan, Commander
Sckley and Consul McCreery are con-
sultng together, and it is thought that
decisive action will be taken soon. The
state departments orders in reference
to the matter are very strong.
The intendente of Valparaiso has re-
fused to guarantee the safety for the
market boats coming to that city early
III the morning from the United States
war ship Baltimore. or the safety of Of
ticers of that vessel coming ashore at
night. There is a practical boycott on
the Baltimore. No American sailors
are allowed ashore. Great excitement
has been caused here by report that
the Chilian legation in Washington has
been attacked. 1t is understood that
Minister Egan expressed much surprise
at the very strong language in which
the Chilian governments reply is
cOuched.
Minister E gan yesterday received a
reply from the minister of foreign af-
fairs of the provisional government,
Senor Matte, relative to Mr.. Egan'S not
asking safe conduct to the refugees
now under the protection of the Amer
lean legation. Senor Matte sends a safe
conduct to the refugees in the lega-
ton under protest. He recognizes
the precedentS quoted by Minister Egan
in which the Chilian government claimed
similar rights for refugees in Peru. At
the same time he does not abandon alto
gether the position maintained by the
junta that those refugees in the lega-
tion must. in spite of the rights of
asylum, which are thereby conceded,
eventually be tried before the tribunals.
