THE YACHT RACE MIDDLE.
vaIkyris Bei.s Prepared for the Voyage
Back to England.


NEW YORK, Sept. 14.--There seems to be
no prospect now OF any more races be-
tween Defender and Yalkyrie III. Lord
Dunraven and Colonel Oliver Iselin are
thoroughly disgusted with the whole busi-
ness, and although mutual friends havc
bestirred themselves to patch up a truce
In the hostilities, there Is small likelihood
that the two crack racers will meet again.
This idea is strengthened by the fact that
Valkrie, which Is at Bay Ridge, Is being
dismantled and prepared for the voyage
back to England.
General Taylor, OF Boston, offered q cup
or trophy valued at 81, coo for a race to be
sailed off Boston, but Mr.. Iselin replied In
these words; MANY thanks for the gener-
Gus offer. / must decline at present to sail
Defender" Tho tone Of tho reply shows
that Mr.. Iselin is disgusted at Lord Dun
ravens action In not racing on Thursday.
H. Maitland Kersey, who represents
Lord Dunrayen, said today that Lord
Dunrlven had said positively that he will
not race Valkyrie in American waters
again.
The feeling throughout England, as
shown by the press comments, over tho
| failure of the match between the Valkyrie
and the Defender, though embodying
many shades Of opinion, generally upholds
Dunraven, who Is considered to have just
cause for abandoning Thursdays race.
The opinion most generally held is that
he was bese6 with difficulties especially
abhorred by him, though in some quarters
| it Is thought that he was possibly hasty.
| Knowing Lord Dunraven's temper, those
holding these views think he will be will
| ing to race his boat against Defender over
some other course than Sandy Hook, but
| such hopes have small foundation.

Earthquake.
WORSE THAN FIRST. REPORTED.

Hundreds Known to Have Perished, and

tie EnguITsd in the streams of Lava
Fears That the End IL Not Yet.
New York, Sept 14.-A dispatch from
1egucigala, Honduras, says: A courier
arrived yesterday from Yetapan and an
.nounced the most terrible earthquake over
known In that section. The loss of life
and property Is enormous. Three hun
dred people are said to have perished. On
Sunday the shocks commenced, lasting all
day and night at intervals, causing much
damage and the greatest fear among the
Inhabitants of the city aud neighborhood.
Tuesday morning the shocks ceased,
quiet was restored and people left town
for their homes. At o'clock that night,
however, heavy rumbling noises were
heard shortly after followed by a reap
pearance of the flames in the mountains,
which shot up several hundred feet
Frightened people again focked to town,
and at midnight the church tower fell,
carrying with it the roofs of three houses.
Nine people were killed and eighteen
wounded Rumbling, which sounded like
the heaviest cannonading, commenced
and lasted over an hour and a half, the
people rushing madly through the streets,
praying and crying.
Just before daylight another prolonged
shock, which is variously calculated to
have lasted from two and a quarter to
three minutes, rocked the whole town as
II 1t were a cradle. Many fleeing people
were killed by rocks, which fell in per-
feet shower like a hailstorm. Smoke from
the mountains to the northwest rose to an
enormous height, followed shortly after
by the bursting of flames from the mount
I ain sides and the throwing out of rocks
and lava
Shortly after streams of molten lava
set fire to a number of houses on the
mountain side Cattle grazing nearby
fed and were killed. being engulfed in the
lava, which continued flowing in immense
streams. 1t Is reported at Yetapan that
seventy -one houses were destroyed. One
hundred and fifty three dead bodies have
been recovered there and many more arc
missing. At Covaiuanca thirty-seven
houses were destroyed. Ninety-t five bodies
were recovered Many small settlements
are believed to have been destroyed.
The shocks have now ceased, but the
smoke is still discernible at different points
in the mountains. 1t Is feared that the end
is not yet. A company of soldiers which
left in pursuit of bandits from Yetapan to
the coast have not been heard OF, and 1t Is
feared they are all killed.

from his brother, who is an ensign on

Of cholera among the crew Of the Benning-
ton. One death had occurred.
There was n good deal of uneasiness
when the sailor on the Bennington became
affected, and that alone caused many to
believe the disease would spread to tho
whites, and many families hurriedly
packed their belongings and fed to the
beach few miles from town, likewise a
large number going to the outside districts.
So many took advantage Of this that the
board of health issued an order forbldding
any connection with the outer district, no
one being allowed to leave town without a
pass from the health authorities. All the
houses along the Nuuanu stream have
been condemned and burned ahd the

THE DuRRANT TRIAL.
a Mysterious Female Auditor Arous.s the
Curiosity OF the Detectives.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 1.-THE proseou-
ton in the trial of Theodore Durrant has
thus far examined twenty three witnesses,
end has occupied two weeks In its work.
There are less than half the number to be
examined in it's direct case, and the most
important are yet to be placed on the
stand 1t Is said that the next four wit
nesses will take Durrant and his alleged
victim up to and in the church where tho
girl met her death. The examination will
probably take all of next week.
Ever since the case in the superior court
began a girl of prepossessing appearance
has haunted the court room. For time
she brought every morning a bunch OF
flowers which she sent to the prisoner by
deputy sheriff. This action attracted SO
much attention, however, that she discon-
tinued it. During the proceedings she
sits with her eyes riveted on Durrant's
face. The prisoner never gives her any
attention, but the police believe they are
at least acquainted.
Durrant is said to have written a long
note in court, the missive being delivered
to the unknown by the prisoners father
after the court adjourned. The young
woman lives in Oakland, but although
detectives have been detailed to locate her
she always manages to elude them. She
Is perfectly aware that she is being
watched and seems determined to avoid
