Especial - Receipts of cotton to
date, 1000 bales, just about one
half the amount marketed a year
ago. The prices today were 1924
to 7.S0.
The weather continues dry and
hot, with no prospects of rain,
which would now be of very little
benefit to cotton.
The Southwestern university
opened today under most favorable
conditions with a full corps of pro-
fessors and about 400 pupils pres

ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The Sec
ond race of the series between
British Valkyrie and American
Defender was sailed today over tri-
angular course of thirty miles,
starting from Sandy Hook light
ship. Real so called Valkyrie
weather prevailed off Sandy Hook
this morning, smooth sea and light
wind ;only features of objections of
last race were the crowding eXcur-
sion steamers, and a good view
race could but be obtained owing to
fog and haze; to remedy first COM
plant so far as possible Commo-
core Bergen of n. Y. Yacht club
who is in command of the volunteer
part of the fleet, made second
special request to captains of
steamers which accompany the
racers to avoid interference with
the yachts and it is predicted if
the injunctions are not attended to
Sandy Hook water will never have
the pleasure Of seeing another in
ternational yacht race under any
conditions, for next challenge con-
test will take place off some other
part of the coast where interior
ence will be impossible. As early
as 9:20 the excursion fleet began to
show of the end of the Hook
when contestants arrived at the
lightship at 10:15 there was a fair
breeze blowing from the south at
a rate of five or six miles an hour,
with thick fog prevailing. AT 10:
40 a. m. the committee boat dis
played the course signals, the first
leg of the triangle to be direct
south, second northeast and the
third northwest by west, half
west.
At 1850 a. m. the preparatory
signal was fired and the yachts be-
gun the usual jockeying for posi-
tions. The British yacht blanke-
ted the Defender but the Defender
worked out from under her lee on
ly to be again blanketed and the
yachts crossed the line at the fol-
lowing official time: Valkyrie
IL :00.13, Defender IL :01.l5. AT
IL 1920, after short tack to star
board both boats came about and |
stood directly towards the High
lands, on the port tack; shortly |
after start Defender hoisted a
protest flag and the protest was al
lowed, it being believed the Val
kyrie fouled the Defender during
the luffing matches. 1t seemed

INsU RECENT coURIER's REPORT.
City of Santiago de Cuba Fully In
vested and Assault Meditated.

City OF santiago De CuDa fuIly In
vested and Assault Meditated.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The World
says: Advices by special courier
from Cuba, received at the Office of
the Cuban Junta in this city, are
to the effect that the city of Santa
go de Cuba has been completely
surrounded by the insurgents, and
that an attack is expected at any
moment. Gen. Maceo is PERSONAL
ly conducting the siege. For two
weeks he has completely cut off
communication with the interior.
From the shore can be seen scores
of camp fires belonging to the in
surgent soldiers on the hill sides.
With a field glass persons on board
a ship in the harbOr can readily
see the Cuban pickets and sentries.
Advices have been received by
the representatives in New York
City that an effort would be made
to storm the fortresses, which de-
fend the place. They were advised
to remove articles of value to
safe place.
1t is expected that the assault
will be made at night. The objec-
tive point will be the eastern por-
ton of the city. In this arsenal is
contained a large quantity of arms
and ammunition, which General
Maceo will endeavor to capture.
The arsenal is strongly guarded by
the Spanish troops and, in addition
to being under the protection of
the General Mora castle, there is
strong battery on the shore.

from here as if one of the Defen-
ders shrouds was injured but moth
ing definite could be made out, and
Defenders topmast held on we'll.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 10, - 80 p.
m.-The stake boat has taken up
position off this shore. The Val
kyrie has been leading the Defend
er, but the latter seems to have
crept up considerably recently, and
now appears to be ahead of the
English boat. The wind has fresh
ened recently and the American
yacht sailed wonderfully fast race
during the last ten minutes.
MACKEY-BENNET Boat, 12:4l
p. m.-The Defender seems to be
sailing by fits and starts today.
Far while she headed better than
the Valkyrie but latterly she
sagged off. Within the past few
minutes, however, she made an
other squirt and is optpointing the
Valkyrie in a wonderful manner.
There is quite stretch of water
between them, however; apparent
ly about $50 yards.
LONG BRANCH, 12:50.-It seems
as if the Defender is continually
decreasing the gap between her
and the Valkyrie and the latter
cannot be much in the lead.
l:07 p. m.-The yachts have
rounded the stake boat. The Val
kyrie went around at 1852 and
Defender at :00.30.
HIGHLANDS, 12:43 p. m.-The
Defender is now fairly outpointing
the Valkyrie and directly in her
wake and only about a quarter
mile astern. The yachts have now
sailed about eight miles on the first
leg of the course and when they
tack again should be able to
weather the first mark off.
According to the time taken on
her the Valkyrie rounded the first
mark at 12:5S.15 and Defender at
:02.05. At one O'clock the Val
kyrie disappeared in the fog, al
though the Defender could be seen.
The turn apparently was made
in a dense fog, and the time given
is only approximate. The wind at
time of turning was increasing in
strength and blew at the rate of
fifteen miles an hour, kicking up
little white caps between here and
the first mark, so the boats seemed
likely to have a good breeze with
which to sail the second leg, over
which they should make good
time, and IL the wind holds out 1t
appears as il they would finish be-
fore o'clock. AT 1:20 both had
passed out Of sight in the mist, the
Valkyrie being seemingly in the
lead.
AT IA the fog lifted, one boat
being seen ahead Of other about a
mile. Impossible to distinguish
which it Is. Finish expected at 3
p. m.
Valkyrie crossed the line at
2:55.40, winning by about two
minutes, eleven seconds, elapsed
time unofficial. Defender finished
at 2 :57.55.
Official time, Valkyrie wins by
AZ seconds.

Never Elinched.

The earthquake few years ago in
Charleston destroyed much property and
some lives. But amid the wild dismay.
horror and confusion there were many
humorous Incidents, of which the follow
ing is fair specimen:
One evening, when one Of the first severe
shocks took place, an engaged couple were
sitting in the parlor Of one Of the houses
on the Battery. The young gentleman,
who was Of scientific turn Of mind, at
once thought of the possibility Of a tidal
wave. He stepped to the window, opened
it, thrust out his hand and instantly knew
that his worst fears were realized, for his
hand went into water just outside the win
dow.
He closed the window, returned to his
sweetheart and told her the dreadful truth.
As by one impulse they clasped their arms
round each other and stood in the middle
Of the room. calmly awaiting their doom.
They stood long, expecting the rush of
the engulfng water, but it did not come.
The delay was disappointing, for they had
made up their minds to little drama.
At last the delay and suspense became
intolerable. The young man again went to
the window. A little less hurried exami-
nation of the condition of things showed
him that he had put his hand into tub Of
water which stood just outside. -Ex-

Women and Scales,

"You would be astonished," remarked
-four and feed dealer yesterday, tat the
number Of people who come here to get
weighed in the course Of a week, and at
the comments they make If the number Of
pounds is not up to their expectation. One
of my customers a very thin woman, came
here yesterday and asked me to weigh her.
Four months before she had tipped the
scales at 118, and she remarked that she
would beat her record this time. Thought
so myself, for she insisted on holding q
satchel and an umbrella, but to my sur
prise the balance struck at 104.
AFTER roundly berating me, the scales
and tho -four and feed trade in general,
she founced out, and lost good Gus
toner. Sometimes, however, the balance
is to the good, as in the case Of stout
woman, who found she had lost three
pounds and was SO tickled that she imme-
tiiately ordered barrel Of flour and said
she would call to be weighed again In q
week. The scales are all right, but I'll
have to AK them for her benefit, in order
to compensate for the loss Of the thin wom-
ans trade. Philadelphia Record.
