Tho Mono \ Winner

Montreal, Que, August 14.-The
American challenger yacht Mono today
beat the royal st. Lawrence yacht
clubs Glencairn in the race for the
Seawanhaka Corinthian challenge tro-
ply. The Canadian boat was a slight
favorite. The day was very clear with
only light, fitful breeze.
To the surprise Of the experts the
American boat increased her lead
throughout, having drawn ahead half
a mile at the end of the first six miles.
The Mono crossed the winning line in
the lead at 2:23k. The Glencairn cross
ed at 2:27H. The elapse in the time
Of the winning boat was hours 4Sk
minutes. The Mono sailed q beautiful
race throughout and her showing was
a great surprise even to her friends
1t is now conceded that the American
challenger is likely to be sure VIM
ner Of the series and will take the cup
back to the Seawanhaka- Corinthiap
club which she represents.

A Mighty Stir Over Supposed Filibuster-
Jacksonville, Fla, August 4.-Gov-
ernment officials seem to have an ap-
prehension that a filibustering expedi-
ton is about to leave from some port
in Florida, but so far there have been
no movements to warrant this suspi-
cion. The steamer Dauntless remains
tied up at her wharf in this city and
the mouth of the river is guarded by
the gunboat Wilmington. Commander
Todd is ordered not to let the Daunt-
less leave here unless he is positive
that she has nothing aboard, and, he
will carry out these instructions even
if it shall become necessary to use
force, which it is not likely will be the
case. The revenue cutter Boutwell,
left here today for Fernandina, where
the Morrill, is now stationed and that
place is watched. A large consign-
ment of arms came through Fernan-
dina this week, arriving at Brunswick
from New York on one Of the Mallory
line steamers and consigned to a
Jacksonville firm. The government is
probably aware of this and this is
what has given rise to the suspicious.
Spanish Consul Carrie, of Fernandina,
afternoon accompanied by the collector
Of customs, and when he left the cutter
the Spanish flag was run up and a sa-
lutte of five guns was fired-sOmething
unheard of before in this section.
