Valkyrie III.

London, July 6.-The Sun in connec-
ton with the assertion that Valkyrie
is a more tender boat than the De-
fender, is of the opinion that the
yacht of the American syndicate will
be more likely to keel over in a strong
wind. 1t is asserted that the wind off
the American coast is likely to be less
violent than the wind off the Scottish
coast. 1t says that even should Val
kyrie, as well as Defender, have to
reef down in a gale, Lord Dunraven's
boat would still stand up better than
the American yacht.
Valkyrie's trial today against Bri-
tannia and Ailsa, is regarded as a
fair one. There was a steady breeze
but the wind was not too strong for
the small jib top sails and Valkyrie
beat Britannia 1872 minutes. for the
thirty mile course.
An authority on yachting said to the
Associated Press that the Valkyrie
would undoubtedly prove a very Won
derful vessel in light weather. The
form displayed today places her far
in front CT the Vigilant.
Lord Dunraven, who was aboard the
NaIkyrie, expressed himself as
thoroughly satisfied with Valkyrie's
performance. He said he did~ot know
whether he would sail for America on
Monday or not. VaIkyrie may be fit
ted for the oceanIvoyage and slip away
Tor America as soon az ready.

Beneath the weather beaten porch
That shades the village store,
He sits at ease, an aged man
OF three score years or more,
That ample seat for him is placed
Beside the open door.
His face is very keen and shrewd,
And piercing are his eyes,
AS with an air of prophecy
He scans the cloudy skies,
And children look with awe on him,
For he is weather wise.
And jolly farmers, riding by
On fragrant loads of hay,
Call out Good morning, Uncle Dan,
And "Will it rain today?'
And boys who would a-fishing go
Await what he will say.

The oracle is asked the signs
OF wind, or rain. or snow,

To answer: IL dunno"

NO SURRENDER.
THAT Is THE POLICY OF CAPTAIN
GENERAL CAMPOS.
No Truth in the Story That He is
Willing and Anxious to Quit
Spain Purchases Ships.

Havana, July General Andrerius,
the commander of the troops here,
reviewed four companies of the bat
talon of America today and the
troops left for the province of Santa
Clara.
1t is stated on good authority that
there is absolutely no foundation for
the story published in the United
States that Captain General Martinez
de Campos would advise the Spanish
government to abandon the task of
attempting to put down the insurrec
ton and leave Cuba to it's fate.
On the contrary the captain general
is disposed to lose the last man and
spend the last cent in suppressing the
revolt. News has been received here
from Manzanillo which again con-
firms the report of the death of
Amador Guerra, in the fight recently
in the neighborhood of ManzaniElo.
Armburo, the insurgent leader who
recently surrendered to the Spanish
authorities at Manzanillo, escaped and
raised another band of insurgents. In
the fight which ensued Armburo was
killed and three of his band were
wounded.
A small band of insurgents has ap-
peared in the district of Santa Do
mingo, province of Santa Clara and
its members have burned the city
hall at Andalucas after killing the
mayor of that place and four citizens
who took part in its defense.

He was governor of Idaho during
Cleveland's first term and an old timer

NEGRO COLONISTS.
a PLAN TO SETTLE SOME IN con-
GO FREE STATE.
Idea is to Procure Men Whose An
cestors Came From Africa, in Or
der That They May Better Stand
the Climate.

Los Angeles, CAL, July 6.-The govern
ment of the Free State of Congo, Central
Africa, through its secretary of state at
Brussels, is in correspondence with C. c.
Carter, of Riverside, relative to plan for
settling several colonies of negro families
from the United States in some of the IA
Vored districts OF Congo territory. AS
expressed in letter received today by
Mr.. Carter, the idea of the authorities of
the free state is to procure men, whose
ancestors having come from africa will be
better ttted than white men to cope with
the climate. At the same time none but
desirable coloniStS are invited
Mr.. Carter will not give out yet what
the terms are that the secretary of state
holds out to colored immigrants except
that they are favorable. Mr.. Carter has
been invited to visit that official at Brus-
sells to discuss the matter and will prob
ably soon make the trip. If the first
colonies succeed, it is the idea to induce
a large emigration of negroes from the
United States to the Congo state, where
the principles of free government to be
practiced, it is thought. will meet the
approval of negroes accustomed 10 the
principles of this country. The letters
Mr.. Carter has received state that tobac-
co culture is to be made an ilnoortant
industry ir the free state and the first
attention will be paid to negco imm.-
grants who have learned the culture i'll
the southern states.
