ROWELL'S NESWPAPER DIREC-
TORY.
A Work of Mighty Little Conse-
quence and an Insult to Men Whom
the Publishers Hope to Make Their
Customers

George L. Rowell X Co. are circu-
latia9 an extract from the Chicago
Daily New$ concerning the American
Newspaper Directory, which contains
the following: las rule, newspaper
publishers lie, directly or indirectly,
concerning their circulation" If this
statement is true-whch we by no
means admit is poorly calculated
to increase the value ofRowell's Dircc-
tory, whose alleged facts and figures
are furnished by the lying publishers
themselves. If it is untrue, why call
public attention to ii? The publish
ers of the Directory should know
better than to insult men whom they
hope to make their customers. If the
latter are wise they will let George +.
Rowell 4 Co., make ratings to suit
themselves. Whatever they say of
any publication is Of mighty little con-
sequence anyway.-Press and Printer.

Ing. They were delivered to the American

Ward line, for New York"
This action Of the Spanish government
closes an incident that had great posi-
bilities of trouble as elements. The men
were caught nearly 'red-handed," as
their schooner had Just discharged a
load OF arms for the Cuban rebels. It is
not doubted here that the prisoners are

1895. off the Cuban coast, while engaged
In landing arms for the insurgents. The
defense of the men was that they were
forced into the expedition against their
will by an insurgent party aboard the
boat. They were tried by a naval court
martial before which they could make
only poor showing, principally because
OF their ignorance of the Spanish Ian
guage in which the proceedings were
conducted, so that their conviction and
the imposition Of the death sentence was
not a matter Of surprise.
At that point the case assumed diplo-
matte Importance. Our government,
through its consul general at Havana,
then Ramon Williams, and also through
Minister Taylor at Madrid, interposed
an energetic protest against the execu-
ton of the sentence. claiming that the
men were improperly tried without the
guarantees he'd out In the famous Cush-
ing protocol. This protest caused the
removal of the case to the higher ju-
dicial authorities at Madrid, by whom

Boston, Nov. ia letter was re-

Charleson, Of the four-masted schooner
Clara E. Randall, of Portland, Me-, now
In port at Matanzas, Cuba, which tells
Of the great distress and suffering in
Cuba. The schooner left Philadelphia
with cargo of coal about a month ago,
and the letter was written by Captain
Charleson soon after the vessel arrived
there two weeks ago. Captain Charlie
son says that Matanzas is filled with
fever-stricken and dying soldiers and
that hundreds of pacificos are dying
every week. 1t is no uncommon sight
on the streets to see men lying in the
gutter in their last agonies, and to see
the death carts slowly creeping about
gathering up their loads Of bodies. The
people seem to be helpless in their mis-
cry, and not only is yellow fever play
ing havoc with them, but they are dying
Of starvation by scores. Captain
Charleson says that he has not been
ashore very much since his arrival for
fear of catching the fever, and he in
tends to get his vessel unloaded and
away as soon as possible.

HAMBURG THE BEST.
He Settled All Arguments ms to tn
TwO-Year-Olds Yesterday.

Hamburg settled all questions of super
iority yesterday. so far as the two-year-
olds of 1897 are concerned. There is no
chance for argument hereafter. He beat
about the best that could be gathered UP,
and in such decisive manner that his
previous defeats must have been caused
through mistakes, excepting when Re
quital tied him up at seven furlongs. The
race yesterday occurred at Sheepshead Bay
in the presence OF 10000 persons.
Mr.. Madden decided that to try to place
the colt in a race was a mistake. and his
orders Were to go to the front and stay
there. This Taral did, and he tip-toed
his opponents so decisvely that they were
all up in the air before they had gone half
mile, while Hamburg was hardly warmed
up. 1t was a great victory and the crowd
cheered Justify to think that America pos
sessed such grand thoroughbred.
Ornaments victory in the Twin City
handicap also stamps him as the champion
three-year-old. He was pushed out a mile
and quarter in 2.05 %, which is very
close to Salvatore record. Taral did not
have to let him down until the last quar-
ter, and then he made the Flying Dutch
man stop though shot

This musing Is from an exchange: 1t
locks like Baltimore again, but it has not
been so long since 1t looked even more
strongly like Boston, so the choice still lies
with Boston. Judging from the living

that comes let us hope the team In front
will be the ,Bostons. The Giants are still
pulling steadily against the tide, and none

the Senators cinched the game by scoring
