Ne4uyins In Eruption.

Naples Correspondence London News.
Last night July 81, from the beautiful
terrace OF Villa Lucia. / observed through
an excellent telescope the present inter-
esting phase of the long-continued slow
eruption of Nesuvius. After the pause in
the new outbreak of which | teleSraphed
you, the central crater yesterday morning
cast out dense masses of black smoke at
intervals, while the volumes of white
steam rose continually. During the course
Of the day a new crater broke out at the
very foot of the large cone. close above
the hill of the observatory. and the lava
ran rapidly to right and left, forming a
semi-circle round the head of the above
mentioned eminence.
At night the spectacle was very beautl-
full. Above the observatory one could see
the precipitous side Of the cleft opened by
the burning lava. showing black against
tho intense brightness of the lava itself.
Hundreds of small cracks in the mass of
the incandescent lava radiated in all d.
rections while to right and left. the lava,
reaching sleeper ground, rolled more rap
idly in long horizontal lines. from the
fiery edges of which pieces broke and slid.
Where IL reached the edge of the old lava
streams and came along the bushes and
small trees, one after another or these
caught fire and blazed up with white
light easily distinguishable from the red
light OF the lava. From the distance II

To add to the beauty of the sight, the

The Cuban Insurrection.


graIn did not affect to consider the Gu

recognized in IL a possible rather than an
actual Importance: and to prevent the
possible from being the actual, she sent to
Cuba as captain general the same soldier
who pacified the island eighteen years ago,
Marshal Arsenic de Martinez Campos,
and with him and after him she has sent
thousands of soldiers. Campos reached
Cuba nearly three months ago. Since his
arrival he has spent most of his time in
the eastern provinces of the island. those

then he has been devoting his time 10

MISHAP TO DEFENDER.
She Breaks Her Calf in the
GOelet Cup Race.
ELSE SHE WOULD HAVE WON.
Yachrsmen Convinced of the Defenders
Superiority to the Nigilant and
20 Every Other Yacht.

Newport. R. l., Aug. 1.-The Vigilant
won the Gcelet cup for sloops today be-
CAUSE the Defender was forced 10 with
draw from the race within half dozen
miles from the finish on account OF
broken gam. But for this accident the
Vigilant would probably have been nine
miles or more behind the Defender. so
far as practical results go. the race only
reiterates what everybody knows, that
the Defender is the fastest light weather
boat ever built in America. She out
pointed and outfooted the Vigilant in tne
beat to windward, which was the first
leg of the course. and gained about nine
minutes on her during the second leg,
run before the wind, course supposed
to be most favorable to the centerboard
yacht
But just as the new vessel undertook
stretch for home. with only six and a half
miles of the entire thirty-eight to cover,
her hollow gait snapped in two, and she
was compelled to give up. AT the turning
of the second mark the Defender was Z
minutes 81 seconds ahead of the V1gilant
on the time consumed on the start,
and she showed the same opportunity to
lengthen that she had off Sandy Hook on
July %, when on a long stretch for home
she increased her lead. The last part Of
the race was a close stretch. but the high
pointing qualities of the fin-keeler fusti-
fed the statements that she would have
gained on that leg.
Although the Vigilant won the race, 1t
IS the growing opinion that the Americas
cup committee are satisfied that no formal
trial race will be necessary, because the
SAILING of the Defender today was sco1
enough. to evidence her continuous i'm
provement, and that is all thai is wanted
in way of information. The Jubilee and
Volunteer which also started tol1y, were
x~.s4 vNFar 10. 4
VigIlant. although the Jupi'ce did make
better time than the Vigilant on the eigh-
teen miles run before the wind from Block
island TO the West isl:n1 nagship.

Waiting TO See What Evidence the
state VIII Introduce.

San Francisco, Aug. Eft Is said that
the counsel for Theodore Durrant will
attempt TO prove an alihi for Durrant by
the testimony Of members OF his family
and his friends, but IL has not been de-
fermgned as yet whether 10 put the de-
PENDANT on the stand or not, Attorneys
Deuprey and Dickinson viii be Guided in
the defense greatly by the showing made
by the prosecution. II the people pre-
sent a strong case of circumstantial evil
dence and the witnesses for the state re-
main firm under fire OF crosS-eXaminatton,
a strenuous effort will be made 10 create
n doubt in the minds of the jurymen by
throwing an unknown party into the case
who will resemble Durrant 10 such an
extent as TO permit a mistake in identi-
rcatfon. That such "A course is being
considered Is evident by the story told
by Clark, before he was tripped up by his
wife and mother IL is thought that the
best the defense expects is disagree
ment of tho jury. which. in the end,
1t - thought, will be equivalent TO a dis
rnissai as II is seldom, II ever. a man
IS convicted on n second trial after dis
agreement in n FIRST.
The prosecutors OF Theodore Durrant
are mistaken IL they think that the at
torneys for the defense have abandoned
Charles II Clarke as witness. on the
contrary. the interrogatories 20 be put 10
Clarke have been forwarded to Boston.
and II Eugene Deuprey Is sincere in what
re says he expects Clarke 20 stick TO his
personal statement that he saw Blanche
Lamont was nan other than Durrant
on Powell street car on April :.
The defense thinks that Mrs. Clarke was
persuaded 20 make the statement she did
on Thursday through the hope that il
would take her husband out Of the case
and prevent the publication OF Clarke's
oregon record, which Is supposed TO be in
the possession OF the prosecution. They
also think that Mrs. Clarke has no letter
from her husband in which he admits
that he was mistaken as 10 the date on
which lie saw Miss Lamont with the un-
known man or the car neuprev is att
thority for the statement that Detective
Harry Morse. who is in the employ OF the
defense. has kilograms from Clarke. dated
later than Mrs Clarkes alleged letter
and that the kilograms declare that he IS
ready 20 reiterate the statement he made
originally.
The story printed yesterday. that a wc-
man visiting at Durr0nts house on the
night Minnie Williams was murdered
heard Durrant burning something that
smeiled like burning cloth. IS repu3tated
by both the prosecution and the defense.
District Attorney Barnes says he never
heard OF the woman.
