Woman, to His Sorrow.

OAKLAND, April Nv. R. Miller had
a desperate struggle with three I'M
known men on the estuary this after
noon and was no match for his COM
bined adversaries. 1t was naval bat
tie, for the men fought from rowboats
and an oar used as club gave Miller
his most serious injury, a cash on the
side of the face. His assailants then
rowed away and all efforts to learn their
identity have proved fruitless.
Miller was out for d spin on the es-
tuary in a light boat and his attention
was attracted to another boat occu-
pied by three men and a woman. He
heard loud talk and rowed toward the
craft, discovering that all three of the
men were abusing and threatening the
women. They were using vile language
and threatening her with assault. Fear
ing that the woman would be harmed,
Miller interfered and was severely bat
tered for his pains.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-The Bay

mile inter-club road race, and as this
makes the third successive victory for

seconds, breaking all previous records
The time last year was 4:56:23. The
Bay Citys finished a mile ahead, with
Reliance second, a wheel ahead of
Acme. Up to the last relay, the race
was remarkably close, Bay City Olym-
pic, Reliance and Acme being close to-
gether. but in the ninth relay the Olym-
pic rider ran over a dog, and that set
tied the chances of his club. Kenna
the fastest amateur on the coast, rode
the last relay for the Bay Citys. and
he ran away from his competitors. An
immense crowd witnessed both start
and finish. The end this year was not
so exciting as last year, when the first

JACKSONVILLE Fla.), April f.
The cruiser vesuvius prevented a Gu
ban expedition from leaving Fernan-
dina last night and captured the tug
Alexander Jones, of Wilmington N. c.
The cruiser left here suddenly yeSter-
day afternoon upon information from
Spanish Vice-Counsel Potous that an
expedition would leave Fernandina at
u o'clock at night. The cruiser went
down the river and anchored off Fer
nandina bar. About II O'Clock tug

masthead was seen to approach and
the flashlight of the Vesuvius was
thrown upon her. The tug proved to be
the Alexander Jones and the captain
gave as an excuse for his presence that
he was waiting for toWs. An officer
from the Vesuvius was placed aboard
and then the cruiser went out to sea
in search of the Bermuda, which was
expected.
A steamer was finally seen coming
from the south having the same signals
displayed as those of the Jones. The
flashlight was used, at which the
steamer turned and started in another

however, and she was seen to be the
Bermuda. The Bermuda was outside
the three mile limit and under the
British flag, so that the commander Of

tain her.
The Bermuda apparently had no car
go on board. standing very high out Of
the water. The Jones was escorted in
to Port Fernandina and turned over to
Collector of Customs Baltzell, who plac-
ed a deputy aboard. The tug probably
will be fined for violation of the navi-
cation laws in having only two lights
displayed. The plans of the Cubans
were for General Sanguilly to leave this
city with a party of Cubans for Fer
nandina. A small tug was then to tow
two lighters loaded Wi = arms and am
