Yale Beaten at Henley.

Henley, July 8.-The Yale crew was
beaten by the Leander crew in the third
trial heat for the grand challenge cup.
It cannot be called a close finish even,
inasmuch as the Leander boat crossed
the line a length and three-quarters
ahead of the American shell. The time
-7:14-was the fastest of the three
heats. There were no mishaps. The re-
suit of the race justifies the predictions
of the Yale coach, Bob Cook. At no

JONES TRIAL At CARSON
The Alleged Accomplice of James
Heney Arraigned in
Court.
Ten Jurors Secured Before the First
Venire of Talesmen Is
Exhausted.

CARSON, NEv., March 2-The trial of
John T. Jones opened here to-day. Jones
was indicted with James Henev for rob-
bing the Carson mint of $4,000. Heney
was convicted two months ago and is serv-
ing an eighty ear sentence in the Nevada
State prison. Jones was the assistant
melter and refner under the Republican
administration, and is a prominent man in
this community. He is member of most
of the secret societies in Carson, and he
and his friends will make stubborn fight
for his acquittal.
John T. Jones has protested his inno-
cence ever since the beginning of the trial,
and to-day he wore a confident smile as he
entered the United States District Court
room. When the doors opened the same
spectators who had sat throughout the
Heney trial filed in and took their accus-
toned seats. John Dennis of Battle
Mountain has been added to the Jones
forces, and was beside tie defendant when
the case was called, together with Attor-
neys Woodburn and Coffin. The Govern
States Attorney Jones and General r. M.
Clarke.
The work of securing jurors began at
once, but there was not the lively fight
over the talesmen as in the Heney trial.
Both sides seemed ready to get down to
business, and the following were selected
before the noon recess: c. II. Lawson, J.
L. Mcfarland, George A. Wilcox, Harrison
Berry, J. P. Whitcomb, D. l.. Morton, w.
D. Elliott, B. c. Blythe, Walter Morton
and John Hamm. A man from Washoe
raised laugh when asked if he thought
the Heney case affected the Jones case by
saying. "he supposed they were in to-
gether."
At noon two jurors were still needed and
the venire was exhausted. The United
States Marshal was asked to secure twelve
more men and have them ready by 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. The ten men
accepted were placed in the custody of a
deputy, who was ordered to keep them in
sight and prevent any one talking with

Il Cyeler Dies From Injuries Inflicted
by.a Fractioms Horse.
SAN JOSE, CAL, March 2.-Charles
Hussey a 15-year-old boy, died in this city
to-day as the result of the kick of horse.
He and Adolph Reddick, son OF ex-
Governor Reddick, started from this city
last Sunday afternoon for trip to Palo
Alto on tandem bicycle.
When they reached Santa Clara they
were riding behind colt that was being
led. The cyclers tried to pass. and the
colt wheeled and kicked the machine.
1t was at first supposed that the riders
were not much injured. Reddick had one
leg considerably bruised and it took seven
stitches to sew up cut in Hussey's arm.
The latter complained of an injury 10 his
head when he reached home, but nothing
serious was apprehended, and on the fol-
lowing day be was able to be ont again.
This afternoon he was also walking
about, but suddenly he again complained
of his head and lay down as if to take
rest Soon he was observed to be motion
less, and it was supposed that he was
asleep.
Investigation proved, however. that he
was dead. An autopsy was held this even
ing, and it was found that there had been
a concussior of the brain. A blood vessel
had burst and death resulted from
hemorrhages.

LOST ON MT, TAMALPA|S
Thrilling Experience of a Young
Man on a Sightseeing
Expedition.
Over Twenty.Four Hours in the Bit.
ter Cold Without Taste
of Food.

MILL VALLEY, CAL, March 2.-Hein-
rich X. Hansen. young man, % years of
age, native of Denmark, left this place
Saturday morning upon donkey for the
purpose of climbing to the summit of
Mount 7 Tamalpais. Sunday afternoon he
returned, almost starved and covered with
dirt. He had lost his way upon the noun
tain and for over twenty-four hours had
been without food. He tells thrilling
story of his experience upon the slopes OF
Tamalpais.
About four days ago Hansen was sent to
Mill Valley by Captain Staples of the Sail.
ors' Home in San Francisco, where he had
been stopping, TO do some work for con-
tractor at this place. Being dissatisfied
with the pay, young Hansen resolved to
put in his time by viewing the country
about Mill Valley from the back of dom
key. He hired an animal from Fred
Schluter and left for the top of the noun
tain, with the intention of returning by
the other side. His experience is best told
by himself:
~ left Mill Valley to go up the mountain
and get back in time for dinner. The dom
key caused me great deal of trouble. He
dld not want 10 go at all, ana tried many
times to lie down. When | got near the
top of the mountain the wind was very
strong and blew me over. | could not
keep my feet, and l started to come back
on the other side. / kept riding on and
on but / soon lost myself, and it was get
ting late. The sun went down and it grew
bitter cold. The donkey was tired and did
not want to move, out l kept on. and at
last-it must have been about o'clock-I
came to house such as might have been
built for the use of pedestrians.
ut was growing very much colder, and
I took the saddle and blanket off Of the
donkey and turned it loose to get its din
ner. l had plenty of water to drink but
nothing to eat and was awful hungry.
Il got some wood and built fire on the
floor Of the little house and rolled up in
the blankets to go to sleep, when suddenly
/ noticed the sides of the house had caught
fire. got up and worked hard and at last
put the flames out and got little sleep.
In the morning when l woke up found
the smoke had made my face black. The
donkey had gone away. Taking the blan-
ket and saddle | started with the dog
had taken along with me to find the ami
NAL. The dog got on the trail and we
found the donkey on hill FIVE miles
away After / had saddled it we started
out again and got caught in the chaparral,
and it was three hours before l found the
way out. l let the dog lead the way, and
we got back to Mill Valley at last"

Probability of the Release of tho Ber-
snuda's Outfit.
NEW YORK, N. Y, March 2.-The
Journal says this morning: The steamer
Bermuda, which was seized by the Fed
eral authorities week ago on suspicion
that she was about to start for Cuba on a
flibnstering expedition, will be probably
restored to her owners.
The members of the Cuba Junta in this
city have received information from Wash
ington that not only will the steamer be
restored, but all arms and ammunition
captured on the tug Stranahan will be re-
leased, and the proceedings against Gen
eral Calixto Garcia and the others arrested
on the Bermuda will be quashed.
The United States marshals who have
been guarding the Bermuda were still on
board of her yesterday. One of them caid
that he did not know when the ship would
be released. but that he was pretty certain
the marshals would not remain on board
more than day or two longer.
Among the mem mbers of the Junta there
was little inclination to talk about the
future of the Bermuda. Secretary Smith
said that there would be certainly no fur
ther attempt to send the Bermuda to Cuba
unless the belligerency of the Cubans was
recognized by the United States.

QUITE NATURAL AND CORRECT.
German Papers Uphold the Indignation
of the Spanish.

BERLIN, GERMANY, March 2.-The
North German Gazette commenting upon
the demonstration in Barcelona yesterday
says that Spains indignation and excite
ment is quite natural and correct. Nobody
in the meantime, however, need look upon
the reported increased armament of Spain
as tragic. Still if President Cleveland
should follow up the Senate's request and
recognize the Cuban rebels as belligereuts
before the negotiations between Washing
ton and Madrid upon the subject are
ended then the negotiations ought to be
terminated.
the Frankfort Zeitung asserts that
secret negotiations are proceeding between
France and Spain with the object on the
part of Spain of procuring the interyen-
tion OF France against the United States.
The Lokal Anzeiger says that the action
of the United States Senate in regard to
Cuba has resulted naturally in an explo-
sion of Spanish national indignation on
the part of the Government and the people
in defense of the Spanish flag in Cuba to
the last extremity.
America may be right from the American
anu MOuIOc pOlut VI view, UuI Lei COURSE
is not based upon any policy other than
the American National one.
The Lokal Anzeiger, the Post and the
Berliner Neuste Nachrichten express the
opinion that the vote on the Cuban revo-
luton in the United States Senate ought
to have for Spain the immediate blissful
consequence of the nation being aroused
to vindicate its existence-to show that it
is not dead-instead of wasting its powers
in party squabbIes.
Germania expresses the hope that the
United States will recognize the fact that
Spanish excitement is justified and treat it
with GOODNESS and calmness.
The Boersen Courier says that the
United States Government Is driving
toward a conflict with Spain. This and
other agitations give proof that militia
system is no measure of safety against the
waIlike tendencies which are supposed to
be possessed chiefly by countries requiring
compulsory and universal military duty.
The Reichsbote declares that no Spanish
Government can give up Cuba. The
United States, the paper thinks, has made
gross attack upon Spain, which will
create a most serious conflict unless the
American Government tries to avoid going
to extremes.

held at Knights Landing to-day. I. f.
Hughes presided and T. III. Sullinger OFF,
clated as secretary. At meeting held at
drlmes Landing on May 18, 1895, a COM
mlttee had been appointed to inquire into
the matter of reclamation. To-day the re-
port OF the committee was called for and
read. It.was as follows:
TO the Land Owners of Reclamation District

Grimes Landing on May 1S, 1895, to inquire

ing some "a 900 acres, was, when it was organ

season, and again when the snow melted IN

Out of "a 900 acres only about $4,000 acres
are taxed for reclamation purposes, leaving
about 5000 acres untaxed. And these same
lands are exempted and generally protected
by the present system. Lands tn at have been
under water seven times in the last elght
years are taxed the same per acre as lanoS
that have grown six or seven crops OF grain in
the same time. This mode OF taxation has
peen practiced for many years, ana those VINO
had the burden to carry generally suDmltted
without murmur, but now we near murmurs
OF discomfort. Many complain OF being tired
OF this way OF doing We believe, unless there
be an effort made to protect. the district Will
be involved in serious trouble, possibly re-
sultlng IN the abandonment or reclamation
entirely and disincorporation.
The only remedy that we can suggest Is
West Side intercepting canal OF sumclent
capacity to take the water from the north and
west and carry it past our district. We ear
nestly recommend that we proceed to con-
struct such q canal without unnecessary delay
and push the same to completion as rapidly as
possible. T. +. HUGHES,

pleaded guilty to robbing H. Korf's resi-

charges before Justice Gass. Wilson was
given 10 days in the county jail and
Harris $50 days.
After the boys had pleaded guilty to
burglary, Judge Lorigan learned that they
had stolen only few provisions, and had
broken into the house to secure shelter
from a storm. He refused to send them to
State Prison for such trivial offenses, and
asked the District Attorney to have the
charge reduced to petty larcency.

Revenue Cutters In Florida Waters Seek
ing Fitfbusters.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2.-The
Treasury Department to-day sent in
structions to the commanders of rev.
enue cutters in Florida waters di-
recting them to use every effort TO inter-
cept an alleged filibustering expedition
bound for Cuba, which the Spanish au-
thorities have reported to the State De-
partment as about to leave Alligator Key,
between Key West and Tampa. The re-
port says that two schooners, one from
Tampa bearing ColIazo and eighty men,
and the other from point north of
Tampa, laden with arms and ammuni-
ton, left port last night for Alligator Key,
where they are to meet the steamer Three
Friends, recently cleared from Jackson
vile. At the rendezvous the men and
arms are to be transferred to the steamer,
which will at once sail for the northeast
coast of Cuba.
Under the law it will not be possible for
the treasury officers to seize either of the
schooners as long as they remain apart,
but if they join the steamer In American
waters. as is contemplated, the case will
be similar to that of the Bermuda and
Horsa.
Collazo, who heads the expedition, was
a commander in the ten years war. Pre-
viousiy he had been partly educated at the
Royal Military Academy in Spain, but
failed to graduate. He has made several
attempts to take his company of about
eighty men to Cuba in the past year and
has been caught in every case, the last
time at Cape Sable, where the revenue
cutter Winona destroyed the camp which
his company had been occupying eight
weeks, waiting for a chance to sail. All
his men were arrested last summer for at
tempting to go to Cuba, but were released.

ARE FLEEING TO HATANA.
Inh abitants Afraid of the Troops Sent
by Spain.

HAVANA, CUBA. Feb. % (via Tampa,
Fla, March 2.)-Inhabitants of Punta
Bravo, Guatao and other towns west of
Mariana, and under the jurisdiction of the
volunteers and soldiers stationed at the
latter place, are fleeing to Havana in ter
ror. They say they have less fear of the
insurgents than of the troops. Twenty
two women from Guatao, wives and
mothers of the men slain there on the 22d,
or made prisoners at that time, are in this
city. They called at the palace to
see General Weyler and beg for the free
dom of the men now in Moro Castle, as
we'll as to tell of the outrages committed
by Captain Calvo and the men sent out by
the Marquis de Cervera. Their visit to the
palace was en- the same day that the cap
tain-general received delegation of wo-
men, who were attired in gay costumes
and wore the yellow and red colors of
Spain on their breasts. They had been
throwing flowers, bonbons and love pigeons
to the newly arrived troops and shouting
viva Espana' until their voices were
gone. General Weyler received them and
thanked them for their demonstrations of
loyalty. They cheered him and departed.
Then came the poor women of Guatao.
They we're nearly all white women, chill
dren clung to their skirts and two babes
were carried in arms. Instead of gay COL
ors most of them were in mourning.
One of General Weyler's aids talked with
the one man who accompanied them and
told him that the general would not re-
ceive them. They left the palace sad at
