The willy Head of Turkey is Playing fer
Time.

| London, October 16.-The Chronicle
prints the following despatch from Con-
stantinople under the date OF the 18th
inst: ''Sir Philip Carrie, M. ACambon
and M. Nelidoff, the British, French and
Russian ambassadors, met on Monday
and drew up a final scheme. This they
submitted to Said Pasha. the foreign
min ster, who went .instantly..to the Sui
t u. The scheme contains provisions tf
WI ich no alternative will be made. A
favorable answer was expected yesterday,
but I'D to late hour no reply had been
received.
eth sEwas regarded as bad sign lnd1
eating a fresh attempt OF the sultan TO
gain time but the ambassadors are re-
solvedgto permit no further indefinite dis
cussion, therefore the proposals will be
quickly followed by tho ultimatuln.
"The abassadors had Identical views,
but their governmentsfare not SO unani-
nous, hence the hesitation to use force.
The key to the situation is Russia's un-
| willingness to see Armenia organized
with autonomy. 1t is very serious fact
that Mondays proposals revert, with
slight alterations, to. the scheme OF May
| IL. The demand for Christian high
commissioner to be appointed by the
| Powers, is dropped.
The Chronicle commenting on the for
going describes the result as climb
down and slur on the British name
1t says: "We have been outbluffed, and
had slap in the face that a high spirited
people ought not to tolerate. We have
to thank the weakened champion OF
| Toryism. We need never trust Lord
Salisbury to play the part OF strong
man again"
The Chronicles anger seems to arise
from the terms of the proposition, being
no stronger than We're Lord Rosebery' IS

NO MORE RACING.
Is Chief Consul Potter's Idea for the
Wheelman's League.

New York, October 16 The Times says
this morning: Chiof Consul Potter has q
bomb to explode at the coming session OF
the national assembly, league of Ameri.
can Wheelmen to be held in February,
1896. 1t is composed of a motion and an
argument for the abolition of racing
under the sanction of the league. In the
movement it is expected that he will re-
ceive the backing of the New York state
delegates almost without division.
Mr.. Potter's argument is that the con
troll of cycle racing should be in the
hands of some other body than the league
because it Injuries the reputation and
peryerts the true character of that organi-
zation. He says:
Mine tenths of the league members
care practically nothing for the racing.
No one joins ON account of the ra cling. Il
is for the advantage in the way of special
hotel rates, the good roads movements,
free maps, guide books, etc., that the
league exists and it is only becuase of
these that it Is able TO exist. AS it is
now the league is made to centre about a
feature which is of consequence to but a
1.-THE of its members and, as matter of
fact, this keeps many from joining. The
League of American Wheelmen is not a
sporting organization, at least, 1t was
never designed to be such, and should not
be made one. BY deyoting itself to the
government of racing it has been turned
from its true purpose. BY it's rulings on
the professional and amateur questions it
has. moreover, been a burlesque as an
organization OF amateurs and 1t is today
the laughing stock Of genuine amateur
bodies. When asked what body he
thought should control racing Mr.. Potter
replied that the Amateur Athletic Union
was the proper one for it.

Cincinnati, Ohio, October 16.-Unless
heavy rain comes very soon in this Sec
tin, comprising portion of Indiana,
Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, the
losses will ruin hundred Of persons.
There has been no rain for weeks and the
Ohio is only two feet six inches in the
channel.
In the southern part of Ohio, along the
line of the Cincinnati, Portsmouth & Vir-
ginia railroad there is water famine.
A score of small towns are without a

scribe much suffering for lack of water

VICTORIOUS cUBANs.
They Defeat the Spanish Forces in a Sharp
Fight.

Santiago De Cuba, October via Key
West. Fla, October 16.-The famous
mountain of Mogote one of the highest OF
this district, was the scene of heavy
battle on October 2, and one more victory
for the insurgents.
The Mogote is forty-fve miles northeast
of this city and a point where many
battle were fought during the ten years
war.
The rebels learning that Spanish
generals Garcia, Navarro and Linares
were on their way to the mountains
placed themselves in a good position.
The combined Spanish column, 1900
strong opened the attack from their
vanguard. Antonioa Maceo with eight
hundred men returned the fire and after
a severe battle Of five hours he forced the
Spanish to retreat leaving I'VE ofnoers
killed, ten officers wounded and three
hundred and eighty soldiers killed and
wounded.
The rebels might have captured the
entire force Of the enemy had they not
run short of ammunition.
During the last few days the insurgents
have made splendid camps in Sabana
Miranda, MOgote and La Gran Eleura the
second and last of these being natural
fortresses, almost inaccessible. Sabane
Mianda is situated about twelve miles
from San Lup, the terminus of the
American railroad. Mogote as said above
is forty five miles northeast of Santiago
and Gran Pedro is six miles from the
American Iron Mining company,
Jurauga. situated on the south coast Of
Cuba.
The rebels have isolated the towns of
San Luis and Pealma Soriano situated
twenty -four and thirty miles respectively
from Santiago by setting fire to a bridge
between the towns.

came to an end with the ball in the
centre of the nelu.
The second half opened with kick off
nv Thornton. Sim onds caught the ball
and vvas downed after advancing it ten
yards.
The one star of tlfis half was Captain
Sullivan. who did nearly all the rushing,
although Underwood and Anderson did
good work. The ball was in Portland S
nossession and about twenty-five yards
from Thornton's goal. when Sullivan
tucking it under his arm made beauti-
ful RIM around left and for touchdown.
Underwood forfeited the goal, by touch
ing the ball with his hands while it was
being placed for kick.
Thornton kicked off and Portland got
the ball, but made little progress. And
the Thornton half backs had regular
walk dawn to Portland's five yard line,
and here the VISITORS braced up But it
was of no avail for the beefy sons of the
Saco nushed Cole off the line for another
touchdown.
No coal was kicked Portland put the
ball in play by kick off and Thornton
secured, but were unable to advance it,
and the referees whistle blew with the
ball on Thornton's twenty yard line. 1t
was an interesting game and one. for
which the Saco lads deserve credit. Port
land was entirely outclassed. They have
some good material in their team and
with proper coaching, they should be
vastly improved The boys did their best
Yesterday however, and will undoubtedly
show up better in future games

He Pronounces the Story False and the
Letters the Work of Cranks-Will Come
to Boston to Face Accusers.
Cambridge, Mass, October 16.-Rev.
Frank Hyatt Smith of the North Cam
bridge Congregational church, who is
now in Denver, is charged with sending
scurrilcus and defamatory postal cards
through the mails in this city.
He was intercepted by the United
States marshal at Denver, and taken be-
fcro the United States commissioner.
Chief Inspector Boynton of the Boston
force received despatch from the inspec-
tor at Denver to that effect.
For two weeks Mr.. Smith had been
Swallowed, part of the time by private
detectives and sometimes by postoffice
inspectors. The newspapers have been
telling of tho work of detectives about
the church and parochial residence OF the
North avenue church. The charge against
Smith is based on scurrilous and defalna-
tory postal cards which certain members
.of tho North Avenue church have been
in receipt of some months Chief Inspec.
Etor BoYnton suspected Smith, and is sal d
Il, be able to connect him with the object
ion;shle care by means of a private mark
which was placed upon the cards previous
to their being sold to the clergyman by
the superintendent OF the Cambridge
|Aotaca U u.s.
1t is reported the writing on the cards
that it was deemed best to keep them out
OF the mails, and that they were removed
from the box after being mailed by an
inspector.
The warrant for Smith arrest was
sworn out several days ago and copy
sent to Denver. The arrest of Smith is
the elimination of the Internal dis
sensions which have shaken the church
for some weeks past, and which led to
the recent stormy meeting, which the
presence of police officer was insufficient
to keep orderly, and which was marked
By women fainting, men shouting and
gen eral disorder.
Mr.. Smith came to the church from
New York, of which state he is native,
five years ago. He is brilliant speaker,
command of the English language and is
historian Of no little note. He was a
thorough student of the Bible, and his
sermons were listened to with great
interest by an ever increasing congrega-
tion.
In fact, his reputation as a speaker
spread rapidly, and he was connected
with the church but short time when u
perceptible increase in the membership of
the church was noticed, until now it is
one of the largest congregations in the
city. He has many friends. and when ii
became known that there was dissension
in tho church they f]ocked to his
standard.
Adyices received from Denver last
night state that Smith is not under
arrest; that no pronounces the communi,
cations to be the work of cranks OF
enemies, and that he will proceed to Bos-
ton at once and face his accusers.
