Star Pointer Breaks His Record.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 14-At the Fort
Erie track, today, Star Pointer paced
mile in 2:0l$4, breaking his previous
record of 2:021s by nearly a second.
Star Pointer first came on at 4:30 and
was given a warming up mile, which
was made in 2:O4a4. At o'clock. the
great PAGER again made his appear
ance, accompanied by a runner. On
the second break McClark nodded for
the word, and the record breaking trial
began. The quarter was reached in
:31A and the half in 1:01A. There the
runner moved I'D a bit and Pointer
let out a link. The time at the three
quarters was 1:S1, and down the stretch
the pair flew. McClary sat as quiet as
a mouse while his horse continued to
increase its speed every second. When
the announcement was made that the
mile had been covered in 2:01s4 the
enthusiasm of the 5000 spectators broke
forth in repeated cheers both for horse
and driver.
In the 2:O6 pacing event Guinette

INDIAN BASE BALL.
Game Between Choctaws Proved Dis

Kansas City, Aug. IA big crowd

afternoon. to witness game of IN

Eagle county, Indian Territory. The
game proved a disappointment, lack

played by Indians who participated in
the game in Red River county, 1. T..

killing of one brave and the manning
of Is others. The bucks today wore no

by lacrosse players. Two of the play
ers discarded all clothing but trousers.
The game, which proved so much on
the order of lacrosse. was finished in
about 20 minutes, and resulted in vic
tory, u to s, for the Reds. The specta-
tors insisted on more play, but this
they did not get until each of the IS
bucks had been paid 81 to go on with
the contest
A widely advertised and cleverly
faxed feature of the contest was the
participation of Walla Tonaka, a young
Choctaw buck, who is under sentence of
death for the murder of his uncle.

shot and killed by one of three bucks
during drunken row last spring To-
naka was convicted in the Choctaw
courts and sentenced to be shot on Aug
6. but he finally secured a stay of ex-
ecutiOn until Aug. %, to allow the lower
court to act upon his application for an
appeal to the supreme tribunal of the
Choctaws. He is out on bond. because
his tribesmen guaranteed his appear
ance at Eagle town for execution should
the decision be against him. It may be
added, however, that one of these
bondsmen was along today to see that
Walla Tonaka did not forget his obli-
cation to return and be shot. should it
be so decreed. None of the Indians
would talk of the case of Tonaka.

The st. Louis Bicyclists Have Big
Meet

St Louis, Aug. 1.-THE initial bicycle
race meeting given at South Side park
today by the United Wheeling Clubs of
St. Louis, new organization, was a
success.
A A Zimmerman, the ex-champion,
had much to wo with drawing out the
crowd which numbered between 5000
and 5000 people. Zimmerman, the
star of the programme, was a disap-
pointment, however. Paced by Slade,
Harding and Corfe, on a triplet, Zim-
norman went for an exhibition half.
He rode in SO.
Garfield, a local amateur, well paced
by a triplet, ridden by amateurs, went
against the state half mile record of
81. He clipped off two seconds.
Zimmerman was better paced in his
exhibition mile. He rode behind a
triplet and a tandem and made the mile
in 1853. Garfield attempted to break
the half mile amateur record, but failed
professional events. In the mile open
professional Anderson finished first
Dute Cabanne protested the face. His
ground was that the pace maker was
instructed to keep the rail but on one
turn took the outside and carried
Cabanne who was riding behind out
with him. The referee allowed the pro-
test TO stand and called it no race.
Anderson refused to ride it over and
gave notice that he would. take the
matter to the L. A. w. racing board.

AN NOTORIOUS END.
Weyler's Summer Campaign Comes
to a Close.

New York, Aug. IA dispatch TO the
Herald from Havana, via. Key West, says:
Captain General Weyler's summer cam
pasgn came to an ingloriouS end last
Wednesday, when he returned to this city
with rebels firing on his rear guard all
the way from Aguacate TO Havana. The
captain general made a public entry into
the capital. but his reception was chilly.
General Weyler cabled his resignation
TO Madrid on Thursday. Last night I saw
a copy of the reply he received. He was
told to remain in Cuba so long as the
present ministry holds power. The sus-
pense here is intense, but no excitement
appears on the surface
The captain general who succeeds Wey-
Ter will have a hard task. The splendid
force of 200, 900 men Spain placed in Cen
eral Weyler'S hands is, if the truth be
told, now only a tatTered remnant A
tropical sun has proved more destructive
than battles. With the exception of the
fortunate ones stationed in and about
Havana. Spanish soldiers are in bad
way. They have received no pay for
months. are weak from illness and have
had poor food and many have no shoes.
In short. The Spanish army in Cuba Is
not inclined and not in a position to take
the offensive

WeYler Has Not Resiened.

Havana, Aug. 14.-Rumors which
have recently been put in circulation to
the effect that Captain General Weyler
had forwarded his resignation to
Madrid are officially denied here.
The report that Evanelina Cfsneros
niece Of President Cisneros of the Cuban
provisional government, was sentenced
today TO 20 years at the penal colony
on the coast of nothern Africa, is I'M
true. a telegram sent out from here

CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION.
After Some Trouble It Will Work
All Right.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE engineers
of the army experienced some trouble
and made several complaints concern
ing the extension of the civil service
to the employees on public work under
their charge. The new regulations oc-
casioned considerable CORES ondence
which was finally transmitted to Con-
gress, where the complaints were
lodged by army officers. The regula-
lions have since been so arranged that
the engineers now say the civil service
extensions Will work in a most salts
factory manner. The right of selection
of men from any branch of the CLASH
fed service has been extended so that
the officers can investigate and inform
themselves of the qualifications of the
clerks who are needed in their service.
There was also some apprehension
expressed by paymasters, who would
not feel like accepting any man who
might be furnished them for confiden-
tial and any responsible positions which
such clerks occupy. The paymasters
in the army can select clerks from any
portion of the classified service, and
such clerks may be subject to a bond
of $4,000.
