c URR ENCY REF OR NJ
The Sound Money Executive Committee
Will Appoint Commission.
Fifteen Bankers and Financiers to Be
Selected to Consider the Inn
pOrtant Question.

Mr.. II. H. Hanna, secretary of the ex
ecutive committee appointed by the sount
money conference of business men. which
met in Indianapolis several months ago
passed through Washington today on his
way to Saratoga to attend meeting OF
the executive committee, which will be
held in that city next Wednesday.
1.-The executive committee will act upor
a proposition" said Mr.. Hanna to a Stal
reporter today, Ito appoint commission
Of fifteen bankers and financiers to con-
slider the question of reform in the cur
rency and banking laws. The Committee
will also devote attention to general fea-
lures connected with this subject
This action of the executive committee
of the Sound Money League grows out OF
the failure of congress to act upon, Presi-
dent Mckinley'S recommendations for the
sit during the recess of congress and re-
commend legislation to the next session
looking to a reform in the currency and
banking system of the government.
Results May BE Vafuakae.
While, of course, the recommendations
of this committee of business men can
have no official weight, 1t Is expected that
the results of their labor may Furnish d
great deal of valuable material upon which
a committee of congress, II appointed,
could work. At any rate. IL the commits
sion succeeds in agreeing upon e. bill or a
plan of reform it will have accomplished
more than the committee on banking and
currency did in the last congress.
Official force could be given 10 the re-
suits of the commissions 1abors by en-
bodying the recommendation in bills to
be introduced in the house.
No Official Sanction Dxtenaed.
Mr. Hanna has had several conferences
with Secretary Gage at the Treasury De-
psrtment upon the proposition for the ap-
pointment of commission of business men
to go over the subject of currency reform.
and has endeavored to enlist his co-opera-
ton. 1t is understood that Secretary Gage
has expressed himself as being interested
in the matter, but has explicitly stated
that he could not lend his official recogni-
ton to the work of the commission What
ever they should undertake would have to
be upon their own motion and responsible
ity entirely. Any report that the commis-
sion should make, therefore, could not be
accepted as rejecting the views of the ad-
ministration, but must be taken merely as
the individual opinions Of the men who
form the commission.

AMERICANS IN CUBA.
Consul General Lee Reports ON tn
Relief of Their DestftutiOn.

Consul General Lee Reports ON the
Relief of Their DestftutiOn.
Consul General Lee has made a report
to the State Department in regard to the
fund of 10000 placed at his disposal re-
Gently for the relief of destitute Americans
in Cuba. The fund, which was equivalent
to $10,975 Spanish dollars, is nearly ex-
hausted. Out of it about 1,4OO destitute
Americans have been fed daily and pro-
vided with medicine when necessary. The
cost of each person averaged 9k cents
American money, a day. The expense was
even less in cases where transportation
was provided from the fund. One hundred
and eleven persons were furnished with
transportation to various parts in the
United States.
General Lee says that about 95 per cent
Of the 400 persons relieved are naturalized
citizens Of the United States who had been
in business in Cuba for long time. Many
of them do not speak English, and a large
number have never been in the United
States at all. The latter class is composed
of the wives and children of naturalized
citizens.

Most Interest in the Single Shell
Races on the Schuylkill.
Ten EYCK MAY ROW TEE WINNER
Eight Dared Race Also Attracts
Much Interest.
PROGRAM OF THE DAY

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 1.-THE
final heats of the silver jubilee regatta of
the National Association of Amateur Oars
men, the trial heats of which were rowed
yesterday. will be pulled off this after lnon
on the Schuylkill river. The weather con-
ditions today are fine, although it Is CON-
siderably warmer. What little breeze is
blowing is from the southwest, but is not
sufficient to disturb the course.
This being the usual Saturday half holi-
day, the indications are that the number
of spectators who will witness the races
will be very large, and in all likelihood will
exceed in numbers those who witnessed the
memorable regatta which was held here
over the national course in centennial year,
when a number of English oarsmen meas
ured strokes with the then American cham
piOns.
Interest In Singles.
The all-absorbing topic among oarsmen
along boat house row. in the morning wes
the senior single shell contest for the
championship of the United States ]. ].
Whitehead of Boston, who won the cham
pionship at Saratoga last year; Joseph Ma
guire of Cambridge Mass, and James B.
Juvenal, the Philadelphia champion, are
the favorites. Each won his heat in the
trials yesterday. The race promises to be
warm one from start to finish, each
man seems determined to strain every
nerve to win.
The efght-oared shell race is also claim
ing much attention. The University of
Pennsylvania Varsity eight, which rowed
against Harvard and Cornell at Pough-
keepsie; the Weld crew. composed of Har-
ward undergraduates; the Worcester, Mass,
High School crew. and the Pennsylvania
Barge eight of Philadelphia, are in popular
esteem. OF these the two Philadelphia
crews are hot favorites. Many knowing
ones think the Pennsylvania Varsity eight
will cross the line first. They contend that
the crew having been in training for
n.onths for four miles race, nfile-and-a-
half race will be comparatively easy.
Ten Eycl< May Row.
There is possibility that Ten Eyck may
row an exhibition race this afternoon with
the winner of the senior single event or
some other well-known sculler.
The first race will be called at 3 o'clock.
The program for this afternoon follows:
3 p.m.-Senior double sculls.
320 p.m.-Senior four shell for cham
pionship Of America.
$40 p.m.-Senior single sculls.
p.m.-Intermediate single SOULS.
4:2O p.m.-Pair-oared shell.
4:4O r m.-Intermediate double sculls.
5 p.m.-Intermediate four shell.
$50 p.m.-International four shell.
p,m-Senior eight shell.

TOBACCO IN CUBA.
No General Order for Its Release for
Export known.

No General Order for Its Release for
Export known.
So far as is known at the State DEPART
ment, there has been no general order is
sued by the Spanish government, for the
release of all the tobacco held in Cuba for
export to the United States, under the pro-
hibitory rule of Capt. General Weyler. is
sued last year. Each case is being treated
on its merits. and the only general order
issued. relates to the evidence that must
be produced by the American owner of the
tobacco. such as proof that the contracts
for delivery of the tobacco were actually
made prior to the issue of the prohibitory
rule, dates Of the various steps i'm the
transaction, and explanations of the
reasons why the tobacco had not been
shipped before. In some cases there has
been considerable delay in securing the
release of the tobacco owing to the fact
that this evidence has been sent to Madrid
instead OF to Havana, but generally it is
said the Spanish government is treating
the applications with proper attention.

MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE
Its Splendid Work in Keeping Yellow feve,
From Our Shores.
The Dread Plague Raging Throurhou,
the Spanish Main-PrecautiOns
That Are Taken.

Although yellow fever is more widely
prevalent throughout the islands of the
West Indies and the Spanish main general
ly this year than usual, not a single case
has yet reached the shores of the United
States. Cases of yellow fever have reached
our quarantine stations on the southern
Atlantic and gulf coast and also on the
Pacific coast but in every instance the
infected persons have been stopped there
The Pacific coast cases come from Panama
where the disease is unusually severe and
widespread. Our Immunity thus far has
been due to the untiring efforts of the ma
rine hospital service. The surgeon general
has just received reports from an inspec-
ton of all the gulf and South Atlantic
stations as far north as Virginia.
Conditions at Sabine Pass.
They are uniformly of a most gratifying
character, with the single exception Of Sa-
bine Pass, Tex. The recent growth of the
commerce of Sabine Pass, owing TO the
deepening of the channel there, has re-
suited in conditions which make the in
habitants unusually liable to infection.
The ballast for incoming vessels was dis
charged there and used to raise the grade
of the town.
This practice is strictly against preven-
tive regulations, and has now been stopped.
An officer of the bureau is at Sabine Pass,
looking after matters. In addition to these
and other regular precautions, sanitary in
spectors have been appointed at Colon and
other places on the IsthmuS of Panama to
prevent, as far possible, the eEibarka-
tion of infected persons bound for United
States ports.
Florida Being PatrOlled.
The great amount of smuggling and sur
reptitious communications between Cuba
and the coast of Florida, which might re-
suit in the introduction Of the dreaded
fever, has also caused the establishment
of what is known as the Florida patrol, in
which the marine hospital service is as
sisted by the state board of health and the
revenue cutter service under the Treasury
Department.
The marine hospital service has pur-
chased the pilot schooner Fox of New York
for duty in conveying supplies and mail
from Cuba to the marine hospital stationed
at Dry TortugaS.

Royal st. Lawrence Yacht Club house is.
the yachtsnien were early astir. Mr.. Dug
gan and the crew of Glencairn had been
busy for some days putting the last polish
ing touches to the Canadian boat, and the
Ecpes cf the Canadians ran high.
Momo's Crew Say Little.
Mr. Crane and the men of the Mono were
not saying anything, but they did not look
though they felt that they were going
to be losers. AT a few minutes after 9
o'clock the two boats, in tow of their
launches. left for Dorval. They were ac-
companied by large fleet of pleasure
yachts and excursion steamers. At that
hour the wind was blowing lightly from
the northwest at a rate of about four miles
an hour.
1t soon veered to the southeast, however
and blew ftfully from that direction at
about the same rate. There mas been little
betting on the result. Glencairn III is ia
vorite, but what few bets have been made
have been mostly at even money, or at
odds of = to / that the Canadian boat will
not win three StraghtS.
