witnessed by a large and fashionable
gathering, which occupied the sheltered
seats in the stand facing the courts.
The white summer garments of the
ladies were Respondent, and the scene
was a pretty one. The sun beat down un.
merciiully upon the players. yet the day
was perfect-such a one as can be found
only in San Rafael. The results follow:

ing were the results:
Sumner Hardy was defeated by Gorge Whit
ney by score of 6-2, 6-1, So, 6-3.
G. b. Root was defeated by +. n. Whitney by
q score OF G-1, g.
This left the Whitney brothers to play
off to determine who should meet Samuel
Hardy and try for the championship.
George F. Whitney was the victor. In
the three sets played he defeated his
brother. f. N. Whitney, by score of
Is, Ga 6-3. When the referee an
nounced the result the spectators ap-
plauded and the defeated Whitney
Jump over the netting and Warmly
grasped the hand of his more fortunate
brother.
The hour set for the game between the
champions is 2:30 Monday afternoon.
MANY of the crack tenn is-players from
various parts of the coast will witness the
con test, which undoubtedly will be upon
a high scale.
Samuel Hardy is one of the best players
on the coast and is the present champion.
He will have an excellent opponent in
George +. Whitney, and there is much
spe eculation as to the result.

Cables a Denial.

MADRID. SPAIN. July 3.-General Wood
ford, the newly appointed American
Minister, has cabled TO the Government
name to appear in the list of members of
the Cuban Junta in New York, and that
any speeches he has made in favor of the
insurgents were made over twenty-three
years ago.
The iroopship Isla &c Panay has arrived
at Santander with a large mum Der of SOL
diers from Cuba. They received their pay
on embarking at Havana, chiefI in paper
money, which is worth little in Cuba and
nothing in Spain. They demonstrated
against receiving the paper, but finally
accepted it, hoping to be able to change il
upon their arrival in Spain, but nobody
here will accept Cuban notes, and conse-
quently the troops are 1nutinous.
The opposition papers are vigorously
attacking Canovas' statement that 10000
more troops must be sent to Cuba. The
Heraldo says: "Pacifcation of the island
is farce that has been going on for more
than a year. Spaniards were told in
March, 1896, that the provinces of Pinar
del Rio and Havana were pacifed. Since
then they have heard OF peace, but there
is no peace, or there is a quasi peace
which is worse than the hltterest war.
We have heard that the western part of
the island was Dacifi d, and that only one
or TWO brigancs remained; that life out
side of the cities was again as safe as
usual, and that the population was return
ing to its usual work.
'All this has been cabled here and re-
peated by the Premier, but the sad truth
is that the western part of the island con-
tinues 10 contain several thousand insur-
gents under their principal chief. Even
under the walls of Havana they are al
lowed TO cut up a whole Spanish escort
and were able TO sustain an eight hours
h-ht with a column of 900 men. Our
troops evacuate and burn villages with
the view to not weaken the main army
by leaving Getachments for Il cir defense

holding their ground throughout the dry

regarded it as cowardly to bandon it.

Allison said that in view of what had

was best not to introduce any question
which might proIong the debate. He
asked leave, therefore, to withdraw the
bounty amendment
Allen again proposed the some amend

Allen offered a long amendment to

Allison asked for an agreement as to

Democratic side, because important
amendments were pending. He then sug-
gested night e>sion, but objection was
also made to that. He gave notice that

Bizzinl died at his residence in thus city
this mornin glafter two days illness The
news OF hi. death spread rapidly and in-
expressibly shocked the entire commu-
nifty. His many friends could hardly
believe that the strong, hearty man of Al
years could be cut down with so little
warning. He was taken with severe
cold on Thursday last and gave but little
attention 10 the attack. On Friday pneu-
monia set in, and Saturday morning
found him dead.
A more whoie-souled, jovial and COM
panionable man it would be hard to find,
and he mum bered his friends by the thou.

years of age and had resided in Santa
Rosa upward of twenty years. AS a pub.
lie caterer he had few equals and no supe-
riors in this section. He was the proprier
tor OF the Campi restaurant in this city
for sixteen years. His proudest boast was
that the Camp had not closed its doors in
sixteen wears, and that during that time
forty-six rival concerns had fourished,
hickered and died.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 3.-The effect
of the coal strike in Kentucky will be
disastrous to the miners, as they have little
to fall back on. Their wages have never
been large, their expenses have been high,
and they have saved nothing for a rainy
day. Many OF them are hundreds of miles
away from their old homes and kindred,
and there is no outlook for work.
Along the Cincinnati Southern Rail-
road, from Pulaski County south, ali the
mines have shut down. Some miners
have gone into Tennessee, but find little
work there. Others are trying, with poor
success, to work farms. In Northeastern
Kentucky, which is penetrated by the
Chesapeake and Ohio and Lexington and
Eastern railroads, all the mines are closed.
Five hundred men have been thrown out
OF work in this region and more than that
mum Der along the Cincinnati Southern.
In the district known as Middle boro the
miners seem satisfied with their wages
an have refused TO go on strike.

HAVANA, CUBA, July 3.-The town of
Santa Maria del Rosario, near Havana.
has been raided by Cubans under Colonel
Castillo. The Spaniards fortified them
selves in a church to resist the attack, but
a large part of the church was blown mp
with dynamite, and the garrison, after
losing eighty men, surrendered. The in
surgents burned fifteen houses. They re-
NAMED in the town five hours and retired
after plundering all the stor IS.
Beiucal, another important town near
Havana, has also been raided after tigL t.
ing in which the Spaniards lost ITO men
and the Cubans eighty.
General Rivera continues in 4 critical
condition. At the Hos pital San Am brosio
the mployes say that the Cuban general
was not purposely poisoned, but that the
wrong medicine was given him by mis-
take.
Weylsr is reported at Manzanillo, San

splcuous place in this list of swindlers.
Many merchants, well known as men,
bers of the uncompromising Spanish
party, La Union Constitutional, and who
are now in prison, have shown by their
conduct that their campaign for continu-
ance of the war was inspired more by
greed than patriotic feelings.
The amount of money stolen by all the e
persons is over $40 600, 900, and this is the
way the frauds have been committed:
Orders from the veral battalions in the
fl Id for goods were sent to Cienfuegos
and the merchants who received them and
who had previous arrangements with the
military cashiers delivered one-fourth or
one third part of the orders at regular
prices, securing receipts from the colonels
for the full amount. On the presentation
of the receipts the cashiers paid the full
sum, but the difference between the value
of the goods delivered and the sum paid
was divided between the merchants, the
cashiers and the colonels.
This fraud uient practice was going on
swi mmingly when the soldiers, badly fed,
began to desert to the Cubans. Then
Weyler ordered the arrest of all the
swIndlers. 1t has been discovered that
when Weyler several months ago pro-
hibited the grinding of sugar-cane, Gen.
eral Pin, in accordance with a previous
arrangement with the Captain General,
notified many sugar-cane planters that
the Spanish army would not distur them
in their WORK If they secretly paid GER
tain sum for the privilege. The owner of
one sugar estate paid General Pin $50, 600
and another $25, 600. Business was being
carried on on this profitable basis when
Weyler and Pin quarreIed over the amount
paid by one farmer, and the result was
that the Captain. General sent General
Pie to Spain, accusing him of immortality.

amateur cham pionsnip swimming race OF

Lincoln Park this afternoon, the first time
in the history of the A. A. U. that the
meet was hold iu Western waters.
The meet was under the auspices of the

the nature of an international contest, as
among the com petitors were Fritz kniese,

Oily pic games at Athens, who raced to-
day wearing the colorS of the Chicago
association. Nearly all the crack SWIM

A rather strong wind was blowing from
the south and directly up the lagoon, but
this was in favor of the swimmers, es-
pecially in the shorter events. The water
was not roughened enough to be an i'm
pediment, and more ideal day or place
for record breaking could not be desired.
The shores OF the pretty lagoon were lined

held. When Colonel Bingham learned
