Before Sunday.


1t is thought that before Sunday there will
he some sort of Yale-Harvard foot ball
ultmatum announced. The managers Of
both elevens announce that after Saturday
their schedules will be completed and that

Harvard have three days left open about
the middle of November, which We're left so
expressly to allow for the possibility of a
1ale-HarVard game on one of them.
Many Harvard graduates have expressed
satisfaction at the withdrawal of Professor
Ames from the Harvard athletic advisory
committee, as they have regarded him as
the chief obstacle to a Yale-Harvard game
this fall Outside his management of the
Yalc-Harvard foot ball trouble this spring
they express the greatest admiration for his
management of Harvard athletics.

After many years OF controversy the claim
OF Maxima Mora, a naturalized American
citizen, against the government OF Spain
for the value of his sugar plantations in
Cuba has been amicably settled, or rather
pra ctically so, for Spain has until Septenl-
Der l5th 10 EIake the payment.
Spain's finaland positiyeagreementt topay
at an early date was made some time ago,
but since the cabinet council at Madrid
committed tie government TO that promise
difficulty arose through further decision
Of the council lot 10 pay the interest on the
claim amounting TO about 100000.
IL was believed at the time that this at
itude OF the cabinet would result in serious
difficulty between the United States and
Spain
UNCLE SAM INPATIENT
The patience of the Washington govern
ment has been worn out through Spain's
consistent policy OF making promises
and then falling TO keep them. soseriously
did this government view the refusal TO pay
the interest, that plan that might have ia
yolved the United States in war with
Spain, but probably would not, was de-
cided on 10y the President, Secretary olney
and Secretary Herbert.
This was no less than an intention to
seize Havana and hold that port until the
Spanish government laid down the amount
OF The interest. or until Cutums revenues
amounting 10 the full interest, had been
collected At the Havana customs house by
the United states Officers, who would toe
placed in charge. The statement that this
plan was practically arranged is made on
the best authority.
In coming to such a serious conclusion the
administration found q precedent in the
recent action Of Great Britain in seiZing
the port Of Corintu, Nicaragua, for the
purpose Of collecting indemnity claimed for
subjects who had suffered at tie hands Of
the Nicaraguan government during the
Mosquito troubles.
ADMIRAL BUNCE'S FLEET READY.
Rear Admiral Bunce, commanding the
North Atlantic Squadron, now cruising in
New England waters was selected as the
officer TO command the expedition TO
ffayaRa.and mis- fleet was 10 consist of the
New YORK, the Montgomery the Raleigh,
ana The, Minneapolis, al present composing
the squadron III evolution; the Cincinnati
now at Key West, Fla. and such other
vessels a could bc prepared for service ia
time
II Is stated iB this connection that the
evohii0us which the stTageuC squadron
is supposed 90 he pracuciug along the
Atlantic coast are merely designed 10
satisfy curiosity as to the assemblage
OF such Large number OF vessels.
There was lille doubt la the mind Of
those VINO arranged the plan for the seiz-
ure Of HayaEa that Spain would pay thc
indemnity very quickly when she learned
OF the character Of the persuasion 10 be
employed by this government
The waiver of Mora, however. with re-
gard 10 the interest obviateS the necessity
OF carrying out the plan, which Spain,
10y prompt pa yment, would probably not
have allowed TO proceed further than the
receipt OF an ultimatum that the interest
must be paid or Havana would be seized.

both set and match in good style, although
his opponent played a stiff game.

lobhing on the part Of Chipman, but

WING NAN UNDER ARREST.
Charged with Having Attempted to
Burn Lee Wah's Laundry.


Burn Lee Wah's Laundry.
AS result of the attempt made last Mon
day night TO burn the laundry of Lee Wah,
the "cut rate Chinaman at No. 4O1 A
street northeast, Wing Nan, his cousin,
who does business just across the street,
is locked up in No. 8 station, charged with
arson.
Precinct Detective Sam Brown, of No
8, worked on the case all day yesterday
and thinks that he has enough evidence
to show that Wing Nan is guilty.
a short time ago Lee Wah moved into
the neighborhood and about a week later
Wing Nan found a great decrease i'll his
business. The new laundry did cheaper
work and the result was that it took
most Of Wings trade away from him.
Wing called upon Lee one day and Of
fered him $50 to close up his business and
Lee refused. Wing then told him that he
would find way to close him up.
Detective Brown upon investigation yes
terday forenoon found two articles in the
basement of Lee Wahs laundry that will
play prominent part in the conviction Of
Wing Nan. One was milk can containing
coal oil, and the other a half-burned old
black leather satchel, containing some
newspapers and Chinese tobacco wrapping
Charles Shedrich, colored, who lives over
Lee Wah's laundry, stated to the officer
that he had seen a Chinaman leaving the
basement of Lees place on Monday
night about five minutes before the fire
was discovered. He identified Wing
Nan as the man, whereupon Lee Wah swore
out a warrant for his fellow -laundryman's
arrest, and Wing will be tried in police
court this morning.

BACK BROKEN BY A POLE
Serious, Perhaps Fatal, Accident
to Young Charles Renner.
While Playing with Other Boys the
Cedar Shaft Broke and Toppled
Down Upon Them.

Charles Renner, fifteen years old, son
of Stephen F. Renner, workman at the
Union depot in Georgetown, was perhaps
fatally injured while playing ON the tow
path above the Aqueduct Bridge last even
ing, by a base-rotten telephone pole
falling across his back. Two other boys,
Eddie Renner and William Barker, were
also knocked down, but not badly hurt.
With half dozen companions Charles
was on the canal path about 100 yards
above the bridge, near the Independent
icehouse, ana all were engaged in boyiSh
games. III ide and seek" was played
and the children had selected the tall
pole, which was destitute OF wires, having
been unused for several years, as base"
The boys in their game had evidently
knocked against the pole and looSened
its foundations, for every time the beam
was pushed IL swayed and groaned
The boys were crowded around the pole
i'll the midst of their game, when one of
the lads shouted:
Lookout, feliers, it's fallingl"
There was cracking at the base OF the
cedar pole aud il came down with a crash
into the midst OF the youthful throng, strik-
ing Eddie Reuner, the eleven -year-old son
ola canalma n; w illiam Baker younger boy,
ana other lads, knocking them down but
not injuring them seriously.
Charles Reuner, Eddie's cousin, was
standing away from the rest and The top
of the pole, containing pieces OF cross
arms, insulators aud nails, struck him on
the back, rendering him UNCONSCIOUS and
hurting him several feet.
The Seventh precinct patrol wagon was
sent for nd the boy removed TO the Emer-
gcucy Hospital
1t was found that he was horribly cut
about the lower portion of the back. His
left knee was disIoCatrd aud it is feared
the patient is internally mangled. If so,
he will die o..

The interior mechanism was burned out

As it occurred at night the wonder is that
the building did not take fire. Had it
done so the entire river front, with its dry
wooden structures, might have been
swept by the fiery elements.
An the other fire boxes at the wharveS
were also burned out, leaving the river

New York, Aug. 20.-The first formal
trial race between the Defender and the
Vigilantt to give the Americas cup committee
an opportunity to decide which boat
should be named to defend the cup was
held to-day outside of Sandy Hook in the
same waters that the cup races will take
place in, but ended very unsatiSfa ctOrily
The boats raced not only to give the
committee line on them, but also for cup
that John Jacob Astor offered to the win
uer of the ma jority of the races that the
committee should order.
The committee decided tonight that the
next two trial races would take place on
Tuesday aud Wednesday of next week.
The Vigilant was prevented from going
over the whole course. After she had made
her first round of the ten miles to windward
and return, she hauled down her club top
sail, and then ran up against a wind that
burst her jib into shreds.
Nothing daunted, she ran up another iib
and was proceeding on the course a sec
ond time, when the committee boat Luck
enbach ran up alongside of her when she
was tacking and notified her that she
need go no farther; that the Defender had
withdrawn and that she, the Vigilant, had
been decided the winner of the days race
