INDIANA THE WINNER.
Big Surprise at the Grand Circuit
Races.

Columbus, o., Aug. 4.-The track for
the grand circuit races at the Colum-
bus Driving park was heavy today as
a result of recent rains. but very fast
time was made in the three races run
in the mud. The 2.11 pace furnished
the sensation of the day. Charlie B
was backed by Hubinger to win this
race, and it is said his losings aggre-
gate $4,000. In the pools Charlie B first
brought 1925 to $500 for the field and
Hubinger's nervy betting soon forced
the field down to 500. 1t is said the
pools on this race amounted to S25, 900
The sensation was furnished when In
diana, a horse that was never consid-
cred, won the race in straight heats
Indiana has speed but is bad actor
The mud just suited him, however and
he paced without break, never being
in danger. The best Charlie could
do was to take fourth place. Murphy
is said to have been a big winner in
the pools. Second place went to Allor-
is. Time, 2.11A, 2.1OA, 2.12A. Owing
to the condition of the track, Star
Pointer will not go against the track
record until Saturday.
The favorites won in both the other
races. Drectum Kelly lost the second
heat of 2.24 trot by a break but did
not again disappoint his hackers.
The second heat was won by True
Chimes, who took second money. Best
time, 2.13la.
In the 2.27 pace Split Silk (the ia
vorite) won easily, but lost the third
heat, which was taken by The Swift.
Best time, 213A.

GERMANS INTERPRETED
When Insurgents Attacked Isla Grande,
but Dewey Taught EN- IA Lesson.

When Insurgents Attacked Isla Grande,
but Dewey Taught EN- Lesson.
Manila, via Hong Kong: The insur-
gents reported that the German gun
boat Irene in Subig bay refused to per-
NIT them to attack the Spaniards on
Isla Grande. Rear Admiral Dewey
at once dispatched the U. 5. cruisers
Raleigh and Concord to the scene. On
entering Subig bay, the Raleigh opened
fire on the forts, whereupon the Irene
slipped her cable, leaving her anchor
in the bay, and steamed out by the
other channel. The result of the fire
of the American warship was that the
Spaniards, numbering over 500 men,
surrendered everything. On return
ing TO Manila the Irene explained that
she had interfered ''in the cause of
humanity"
A Hong Kong correspondent says
that it is ''now known that Admiral
Dewey requested the correspondents at
Manila not to give the full history of
the Irene incident for fear of arousing
feeling in America which might lead
to complications with Germany" When
the full details transpire it will be seen
that the incident was more serious
than il first appeared to be.
Gen. Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader.
declares that both the Spaniards and
the Germans have made overtures to
him u. S. Consul Wildman, at Hong
Kong says Dewey's dispatches show
that the Germans continually inter.
fere, their action causing much anxiety,
as they are assisting the Spaniards by
landing -four and other supplies, and
moreover, that the German officers
have been seen in the Spanish trenches.
Tho Germans have not been careful to
observe the naval courtesies required
ty the situation. They have given
Admiral Dewey much annoyance by
going against his regulations and by
Insisting on sendin their boats around
the bay after dark. At the same time
the German admiral informed Admiral
Dewey that that he has no intention
of giving offense to America and that
his movements are not to be construed
as any demonstration of ill-will Ad-
miral Dewey is said to have replied:
Perhaps it would be better if mat
ters were arranged a little differently"
On the rero-t that the German fleet
was landing large quantities of rice
and flour for the Spaniards, the Amer
lean admiral decided TO be more strict
and has put boat at the end of the
ietty TO overhaul all launches. The
blockade will hereafter be more rigid.
Although the attitude of the Germans
is irritating, Admiral Dewey Is manag-
ing them with great diplomacy, and he
does not expect any trouble with them.

THE WAR SITUATION.

Col William jennings Bryan's regi-
ment of Nebraska infantry has been
ordered to join Gen. Fitzhugh Lees
corps at jacksonville.
BY the recent waterspout which
swept down upon Steelville, Mo-, 80
buildings were wrecked and 10 lives
lost, while the pecuniary loss will foot
up 100000.
Spanish deserters from Guantanamo
say their soldiers there are absolutely
starving and would surrender but for
the fear of being murdered by the
Americans, as their officers tell them
they would be.
Many of the wounded soldiers who
have been brought back from Santiago
say the Spaniards used poisoned and
explosive bullets, and deliberately fred
upon the hospital tents and the Red
Cross workers, killing the wounded
and nurses.
The navy department is anxious that
Commodore Watson's squadron should
reach the Mediterranean as soon as pos
sible even IL peace is declared, as he
could then hasten to reinforce Dewey
and give us squadron there capable
of meeting any emergency.
SO complete has become the con-
fidence in the exemption of our ports
from attack by hostile vessels that the
government in response TO pressure of
communicated interests, has ordered
all mines planted in our harbors TO be
removed. They will be exploded as
the easiest method of removing them
Madrid newspapers announce that
they have withdrawn their correspond
ents from Havana because Gen.
Blancos censor permitted them to
send only such dispatches as he
thought would reflect credit on the
Spanish cause on the Island. The
papers do not want to share the
responsibility of proclaiming Spanish
victories and other false and absurd
news, which will later be demon
strated To the people as absolutely
untrue, as Madrid papers have been
compelled to do in the last few
months, They say they will publish
no news rather than false news.

Hot Blaze at East Lake.

Flames were discovered issuing from
the residence of Mrs. Pentland, at East
Lake, and in very short time the en-
tire building was consumed. The East
Lake fire company was soon on hand,
but not before the adjoining residence
OF VIM. Eddy was in flames. The Con-
gregational church and the dwelling
of Frank Wilson, being in line with
the strong wind, were all consumed by
the flames. How the fire originated is
unknown, as Mrs. Pentland was away
from home at the time, and there had
been no fire in the stove for several
hours. The loss exceeds $1,000, insur-
auce So. 900
