STATEMENT BY MIR. ISELIN
HE DECLARES THAT THE DEFEN-
 DER MAS NOT TAMPERED WITH.

An Informal and Secret Conference of the
 New York Yacht Club Was Held to Dis
 cuss the Charges of Fraud Made by the
 Engiishman---A special Meeting is to be
 Called for Monday Night.
 New York, Nov. 14"-An informal con- ference of the officers and leaders of the New York Yacht club was held to-day for the purpose of discussing the charges of fraud made by Lord Dunraven against the syndicate controlling De- fender, and also to consider the most advisable course to pursue in the mat ter.
 The session was secret, but it was learned that Lord Dunraven's charges were gone over and various suggestions made as to the course the club should take.
 MT. Iselin made a statement in reply to his lordship's accusations, ,emphatical- ly refuting the charge that the De- lenders load water line had been tamp- cred with. There was no question, of course, as to the untruth of Lord Dun- ravens statement, every member pres ent being thoroughly convinced that it was a base calumny.
 The discussion, it was intimated, hing ed on the policy of the club in disposing of the case; some members favoring the immediate expulsion of Lord Dunraven from the club, while others believed in going slow and giving him an opportuni- ty to resign. Those who took part in the conference, however, declared that no action in that direction had been de- cided upon; the matter being left to the decision of the club at the special meet ing called for Monday night.

BIC DAMAGE Czsg
It is About to be Filed by Judge Walsh of
 Danbury,

Danbury, Nov. 14.-Judge James F. Walsh is about to file at the state de- partment in Washington a claim for $200,000 damages against the Spanish government and will ask that it be rec ognized as claim of a citizen of the United States. The circumstances are similar to those connected with the fa- nous Mora claim, only on smaller scale. The claimant is John Repko, an Italian and a naturalized citizen of this country He is the proprietor of Roma Grand Continental hotel in Havana, one of the largest hotels in Cuba. The off, cers of several of the Spanish regiments which had been sent over from Spain to quell the revolution, and which were stationed at Havana, used Repko's ho- tel as their headquarters. They stayed at the hotel for six months, lived high and contracted large bills, but did not pay any board. One night last summer Repko and his family were driven out of the building by the officers and the hotel was confiscated on the pretext that Repko was a sympa thizer with the revolutionists. He was obliged to come to this country for safety and is is now in Tampa, Florida. His wife and children are staying with friends in New York.
 Repko claims that the confiscation was unjust and as he is citizen of the United States he also claims that it is g. breach of international law. He de- Lf-.
 possession and as he has been nearly reduced to poverty by it's conflsoa ton claims $200,000 damages. In a letter to Judge Walsh, Repko states that Presi- dent Cleveland once stopped at his hotel and also Assistant Secretary of State Adee. Repko received his naturaliza- tfon papers in New York state. Judge Walsh has been at work on the case for several weeks and all the evidence is now collected.

THE MARs1oK nEo1rA1.


 Despite the inolemency of the weather last night large and enthusiastic au- dience greeted the celebrated Belgian violinist, Marsick, on the occasion of his first appearance in this city. This re- cital was the first use the university has made of it's newly acquired prop erty, which is to serve temporarily as a music hall. The acoustics of the au- ditorium are excellent, and although the seats were built for a generation with stiffer backs than our own, yet is an improvement on the whole over Alumni hall and that torture chamber in North Sheffield.
 The concert was one of the most de- lightful affairs that we have had for several seasons. 1t is an unusual priv ilege to hear a great violin virtuoso in a recital, We hear them with the sym- phony organizations sometimes, but in the more varied and more personal light of a recital last nights concert was a
 
 novelty for which we are very grateful. MT. Marsick's playing is remarkable for suavity and exquisite refinement of tone, splendid lowing and musicianly interpretation. The intonation is not always sure, but this seems rather the result of impetuosity than a technical flaw. His playing Is characteristically French, but what he lacks in depth of feeling and breadth of tone he atones for with the grace and delicacy in the expression of lighter moods for which his nation is noted, for although Bel gian by birth, his style and tempera- ment are essentially French His re- ception here was very cordial and the applause was hearty and frequent. He gave one of his own compositions as an encore to the Vieuxtemps Fantasie and was obliged to repeat the Pierne Sere- made, charming morcean by the man who wrote the music to 'L' Enfant Pro- digue."
 Howard Broadway, the young Ameri- can pianist and composer who has just returned from Berlin, where he had considerable success, proved very capa- Die as a pldIlSL dllU 6bSCClllptillSl, <1AeI deserves commendation, but as g. conn., poser he was less enjoyable. MT. Brock way is a pleasant-appearing youth ana he has evidently ability as performer, but he will be better appreciated in oth- CT peoples compositions. MT. Schilling of Philadelphia, a. particular friend of Marsick, played the piano part of the Saint-Saens sonata.
 We hope the university will be en- couraged by the success Of this venture to bring other artists to this city. A series of piano, violin and song recitals would be a delightful feature for the winters program Madame Bloomfield Zeisler. Mcdowell and Ondricek among the instrumentalists and Plunket Green and Marie Brema, the Henschels, the Heinrichs and Victor Mature among the song artists would all receive hearty welcome.

Georgia Central Railroad.

New York, Nov. 14.-The completion of the reorganization of the Georgia Central railroad places the last impor- tant railroad system of the south upon a sound financial basis. It was for many years one of the most successful and conservative railroads of the coun- try, and it's misfortunes were caused by over-extension. Under the present reor- ganizat tion, the fixed charges have been reduced about one-third and brought within a safe and conservative limit. The subscription to the new bonds was so heavy to-day that the indications are that the issue will be subscribed.

 The quintet next rendered '1900, or the Future Music" consisting of all the latest popular airs. The quintet sang with great success. Miss Sutherland's recital, Yours" by Frank Stockton, was very comical one, and delighted the audience.
 The duet, '"The Gondolier's Song,' by Hoffman, sung by Miss Cooke and Miss Russell, was very prettily rendered.
 Miss Sutherland's recital, How Dot Heard the Messiah" by Butterworth, was artistically rendered. The last num- Der on the excellent program was a se- lection by the quintet, I'm a Pilgrim, p by Maister. The ladies were charming ly attired in evening gowns of brilliant hues, and presented a pretty appear ance.
