vENCEOOR AND CANADA,
Yachting Enthusiasts Flocking
to Toledo to Witness the
Great Race.
Canadians Conf Ient of Victory, as
the American Boat Is Badly
Handicapped.

TOLEDO, ONO, Aug. 23.-Everything is
in readiness for the international yacht
race between the Vencedor and Canada,
and every train and boat is bringing hun
dreds of yachting enthusiasts from Chi
cago, Detroit, Milwaukee and Buffalo, to-
gether with a few from New York and
other Eastern cities. Both boats were
measured yesterday. So far as could be as
certained in advance of the official an

The Canadians are confident that their
boat will win, for through Commodore

hazards he has handicapped the Vencedor

be able to win in anything bat blow.

CUBAN LEADERS TO MEET
Plans for the Future Conduct of
Freedoms Battle Will
Be Discussed.
Armies of Gomez and Macao, 1t Is
Thought, Will Shortly Assume
thelAggressive.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 23.--It is
said that within the next month General
Estrada Palma, Minister Plenipotentiary
of the Cuban Republic to the United
States, and Gonzales Quesada, the Secre-
tary of Legation, with other prominent
supporters of the revolutionary cause, will
go to Cuba to consult with President Cis-
nerios as to the future conduct OF the
battle for freedom.
General Gomez and Maceo are both said
to have expressed the opinion that noth-
ing can be accomplished under the pres
ent system of fighting.
They do not want to go on struggling,
as during the ten years war, with no hope
OF gaining the freedom of the island un-
less they secure recognition as belligerents
from the United States. To do this it is
claimed by both the commanders that
they must inaugurate a campaign of the
most destructive character. Hitherto
when parts of their armies have invaded a
town they have simply driven the Spanish
forces out and then have themselves re-
treated.
Their plan now is to make forced marches
upon all of the interior cities, and after
effecting their capture destroy them.
They cannot do this, however, without the
sanction OF the Cuban Junta in the United
States, and It is for the purpose of settling
the issue thus raised that Palma, Quesada
and others have been summoned to the
island. How these leaders will get to
Cuba is. of course, mystery to all save
themse Ives.
1t is stated on good authority that three
large expeditions are to be sent out from
different places in this country, and that
they will unite and land at designated
point. The vessels will be armed and pre-
pared to fight If oyertaken by Spanish
cruisers, At the same time that the three
large expeditions go out there will be
other ships sent to the coast as decoys.
The leaders of the movement have no ap-
prehension of their ability to effect a
landing.
1t Is expected that the conference be-
tween Cisnerios, Palma, Quesada and
others VIII result in decision to start the
armies OF both Gomez and Maceo on the
aggressive about the 1st of October and
that when town is captured it will be
destroyed.
Maceo, 1t is said, would like to inauga
urate line of action something akin to
Sherman's march to the sea, and it is be-
l1eVeQ that he will have his wav

 A meeting of democratic voters Is call ed for Tuesday night in Temperance. The object is the formation of a Bryan and SewaH club. The voters are grad uaIly getting together again. and so a large gathering is probable. Later on there will be a grand ratification meet ing.

The general desire is to give the captain a big vote, and to do that all efforts must be de- voted to that object.
 A very interesting contest has been going on before Probate Judge Williams. The night of July 13, at 30 o'clock, the clerk of the probate court was aroused from sleep and called to his door by messenger, who presented an application containing the names of certain persons to be placed on the official ballots as can didates to be voted for at the state elec- tion. Next day the judge ruled that the time within which names could be legal ly presented had expired. MT. s. A. Leonard, one of the candidates took is- sue with him and Saturday applied for a mandamus from the city court to com pei Judge Williams to put his name on the ballot. The mandamus was issued by Judge Semmes and Judge Williams accepted service. By agreement of the parties concerned the case was set for Monday at 1 o'clock. The petitioner will be represented by MT. F. G. Bromberg, who is also one of the candidates on the ticket with MT. Leonard. That ticket was gotten up in opposition to the dem ocratic county ticket, and why it was presented to Judge Williams at so late a day is a question that is much dis cussed.
