startere in the amateur senior double
sculls, three-quarters of mile with a
turn, were Russell and Ryan OF the

The former crew pulled a very fast
stroke and soon got the lead, but the boat
filled with water and they were forced to
retire. Greenwood and Marsh finished at
their leisure. The final race was pro-
fessional four-oared mile and half, with
turn. between the English and Canadian
American crews. and was rowed in rough
water. the wind facing the oarsmen on

expected that the ships will all be paraded,
and that they will also participate in Lis
reception, although Acting Secretary of
the Navy McAdoo positively declares that
he has done nothing in any way looking to
naval participation in the affair.
The report from San Francisco that Ii
was deferred from going to that city on
account OF threats made against him by
Cinnamon there, is ridiculed in official
circles here. It is stated that LII was COM
PEELED to alter his plans on account OF in
structions received from China six weeks
ago. He was on the European continent
at the time and cut his tour short there,
hurrying to ENGLAND, where he is now
making a short visit and advising the
authorities here that he was required to be
at his home earlier than he had antici-
pated. He had selected September 1S as
the date for his arrival in the United
States, but advices received from China
compelled him to change the date to
August, and to make his tour in this
country brief one. Had he the time, it
is stated. he would visit all the principal
cities in the United States.

SOUTHERN INDIA FLOODS,
Thousands of People Rendered
Homeless by the Overflow
of the KiStna.
Two Hundred Refugees Go Down in a
Boat That Is Sunk Near
Hyderabad.

LONDON, Eng. Aug. IA dispatch
from Bombay to the News Agency states
that disastrous foods have been caused in
Southern India by the overflowing of the
River Klstna. The damage to property is
immense and thousands of people have
been rendered homeless, their houses
being swept away by the floods. 1t is
feared that many lives have been lost in
the overfowed district. The water has
washed out the railway OF the Nizam for a
distance of seven miles and it will have to
be almost completely rebuilt.
The worst disaster yet reported in con-
neetion with the food was the sinking of
boat crowded with refugees near Tatta,
a town fifty miles southwest of Hydera-
bad. Two hundred persons went down
with the boat and were drowned.
The residents along the course of the
Kistna expect an overflow twice a year.
They depend on it for the irrigation of
their fields. But the present food was
much greater than they wanted or were
prepared for. All the land in that part of
India needs irrigation, SO that the densest
population and the most highly developed
part of the country lies along the river
banks and makes the loss so much the
greater when food takes place.

zAYAS WAS MURDERED.
The Cuban Insurgent Leader
Did Not Meet Death in
Fair Fight.
Killed by Party of Spanish So diers
From Whom He Endeavored
to Escape.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. IA letter
under date of August was received to-day
at the Cuban Junta from a correspondent
in Cuba, which letter stated that General
Juan Brano Zayas was not killed il battle,
as reported, but was murdered.
He had been in the habit of visiting a
thatched cottage and having his morning
coffee with the family that inhabited it.
He got up from the table one morning and
went out. There was knock at the door
shortly after and the general went to open
it, supposing that it was his host that had
Knocked.
He found instead a squad of soldiers,
under Lieutenant Perrol He tried to
break through and was shot down. Two
other officers, Plants and Espernon, and a
third, whose name was not given. were
also killed as they went to General Zayas'
assistance.

COUNT PALLAWclKrS DEATH.
Cared Not to Lire Without the Love OF
Ethel B0rHson, the American Actress.

BUDA-PESTH, HUNGARY, Aug. 14.-In
social and other circles little else is talked
of to-day than the romantic suicide and
funeral of Count Arthur Pallavicini, lieu
tenant of hussars, who was buried yester-
day.
The lieutenant, handsome young
fellow, Il years of age, became greatly
attached to Miss Ethel Barrison, one of
the FIVE Barrison sisters, well-known
variety artists. whose scandalous conduct
at Berlin has brought upon them the
order of expulsion from Germany. Count
Pallavicini sought in every way possible
to induce Miss Ethel to return his love,
but she only laughed at HIM.
On Tuesday Count Pallavicini was found
dead, having committed suicide by shoot
ing himself with revolver. In his left
hand was photograph of Miss Ethel and
q slip of paper, upon which the unfor-
tunate man had written:
81 beg Miss Ethel Barrison to come to
my coffin and press kiss upon it.
Contrary to expectations she appeared
at the funeral yesterday dressed in the
deepest mourning.

NEARING A SETTLEMENT,
Balfour's Reply to an Inquiry
Concerning the Venezelan
Controversy.
State Department Officials at Wash.
ington Are Pleased With
the Outlook.

LONDON, Eng, Aug. A.-In the House
of Commons to-day Sir William Harcourt,
the leader of the opposition, asked, in re-
gard to the Venezuelan situation, if the
proposal contained in the dispatch sent to
the Foreign Office by the United States
Government on June last had removed
the difficulties, and further inquired
whether there were any prospects of a
speedy submission of the question to arbi-
tration.
Right Hon. r. ]. Balfour, First Lord of
the Treasury, said that the Government
was still considering the proposal made
oy the United States Government, which
was regarded as opening the way for an
equitable settlement of the difficulty. The
Government had every expectation that
the pending negotiations would lead to an
early settlement.
Sir William Harcourt said that the
House would regard Mr.. Balfour's state
ment as satisfactory and asked to have the
papers on the subject prepared to be pre-
sented to the House.
Mr.. Balfour replied that the Govern
ment would present the papers to the
House as soon as might be consistent with
public interest.
WASdINGION, u. u, Aug. 14.-Ine
dispatch of Secretary Olney to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British Embass ador, referred
to in the House of Commons debate to-
day, was considered by many the most
important document in the arbitration
correspondence between the two coun-
tries. The dispatch was devoted to dis
cussion OF proposals submitted by Lord
| Salisbury for the settlement of the bound
ary dispute, and concluded with counter
proposals which Mr.. Balfour said to-day
i.were regarded by the Foreign Office as
opening the way for an equitable settle
ment OF the difficulty"
State Department officials are highly
gratified with the tone of Mr.. Balfour's
reply to Cir William Harcourt's query as
to the effect of the dispatch. During the
absence of Mr.. Olney, who is exclusively
in charge of the negotiations, nothing
definite can be learned on the subject.

Indians found bearing armsln this section
are arrested and held, awaiting their dis
position by the higher authorities. The
people here are well pleased with the
prompt and energetic action of Colonel
Bacon, who commands the First Cavalry
and is the commanding officer at Fort
Huaehuca.
He is leaving nothing undone to prevent
the Indians from organizing in the United
States and then crossing to Mexico. The
way soldiers are placed now it is impos-
sible for the Indians to make move from
the mountains without being apprehended.
They will do no harm in the United States
as far as fighting is concerned, but there is
a large number in this section, as they
have been coming in to the different settle
ments in this country for three weeks or
more.
William Ekey came in from his ranch
on the Santa Cruz. near Huevayi, this
afternoon. He says the Indians have been
gathering there for three days. He thought
they were going to make raid on his
horses and cattle, and he put all his stock
into corral. The Indians left suddenly,
and he believes they have gone into the
Paiarito Mountains, where there are good
rendezvous.
Nothing has been heard from the Mexi-
can soldiers who went down the line
to-day.
People on the Mexican side III this
town are still alarmed, and many of the
Mexican families sleep on the United
States side tonight. While everything
seems quiet here now, and nothing
startling occurring, the Mexicans are very
restless and uneasy. The Yaqui tribe is
very powerful and they fear general up
rising. Should this occur there will be ex-
citing times in this locality. There have
been many skirmishes between the Yaqui
Indians and Mexican soldiers in the past
several months that have not been made
public. The Yaquis who live in the
Yaqui River country claim to have
grievances, and have not been in a good
humor since Santa Teresa was banished
from Mexico. They believe she was
wrongly treated, and they expect some
time to see her return and reign as their
queen. Her strongest followers came to
the United States at the time she left
Mexico, and they are keeping the fires of
discomfort alive.

of Brunswick, Ga, says:
1.-The plans for the filibustering trip of
the tug Dauntless were so well planned
that, with the greatest surveillance ex-
ercised, she could not be interpreted as a
tilibuster. The tug, apparently under
ordinary circumstances, left her wharf at

for Miami, Fla, to secure a tow. How

NAVAL ENGINEERS COLLAPSE.
TtUo Officers of the Indiana Succuntb to
OUertCorK.


OUertCork.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 14.-News
received yesterday at the Navy Depart
ment tells of the physical collapse of
Chief Engineer George E. Tower and
Passed Assistant Engineer Andrew Meal
lister, both of the battleship Indiana. 1t
gave rise in the minds of naval officers on
duty here to the question whether in the
care of our warships the danger line had
not been crossed in the attempt of the
overworked naval engineers to carry on
the exacting duties required of them.
The North Atlantic squadron has now
had only eight days of grand maneuvers
and during that short period the efficiency
of the most powerful battleship of the
feet has been temporarily impaired, two
of the four naval engineers attached to the
vessel having been condemned by medical
survey and ordered to the Naval Hospital
for treatment.
cit is not surprising said a prominent
official, that this repeated tale of the
prostration of naval engineers is heard from
our warsbips. In the British service there
are one-half as many engineers as deck
officers, while in our navy there are only
one-tourth as many engineers rs there are
officers of the line. The physical history
OF the corps of naval engineers during the
past years is sad one, and it emphasizes
the fact that not only must the number of
engineers be increased, but their condi-
tions improved in order to render the
ships efficient for the day of battle. The
engineers are now working under an or
ganlzatlon which was founded upon the
necessities of wooden ships, but which is
not adapted to vessels of STEEL"
