Grand Circuit Races.

Cleveland. o.. July 26.-Performances
at the second day of the grand circuit
meeting were not of the phenomenal
brand. The best race of the day was
the last. in which Klatawah, the SEN
sational California stallion, got away
with the first two miles, but went L.,
in the third heat and trailed the big
field in. He spotted three scores in the
fourth. and there were indications that
he would never get away. but finally he
got the proper gait and chung to it.
From the last position in a field of ii,
he took the pole away from Pentla7d
long before the first turn was reached.
and after that Klatawah was the o-,iy
horse in the chase. although everybody
expected him to leave his feet at cny

EUROPEAN INTRIGUES.
Russia Encourages Combination to
Check America.


New York, July Pa dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: 1t is author
itatively stated that Russia is more
active than even Germany or Austria
in automatically prompting Spain and
in moving for a combination of the
continental powers TO do something to
check the United States.
At different stages of the war the
Russian government has assured the
Spanish foreign ministry that it does
not want any European power nor
America to establish herself in the
Spanish archipelagoes in Oceanica- But
having reasons of its own for not wish
ing to appear too openly to help Spain,
fearing it might promote an under
standing between Great Britain and the
United States, Russia has encouraged
Germany to exert pressure at Manila,
lead in demonstrations of sympathy,
which the French foreign ministry
only reluctantly consented to do.
Ever since then Russia and the vati-
can, with the aid of the Austrian court
though contrary to the judgment of
the Austrian chancellor, Count GOluch-
owski, have been arranging for con-
certed action by the continental pow
ers to interfere. both when an Ameri-
can squadron comes to Europe, and
when, in the peace negotiations, the
question of the Philippine Islands
comes up. Then Russia and France
will plead in behalf of Spanish inter-
ests to prevent the United States, Ger
many or Japan interfering.

BLUE BLOOD AID HOBO" -
Pugilistic Klondiker and Variety
Actress Married.

| San Francisco Examiner: Another
rich Klondiker has gone the way of
Swiftwater Bill. This time it is Dan
Egon. otherwise the Montana Kid,
and the girl he has taken to his bosom
is Miss Lettie Levine. well known 10
the vaudeville stage.
The marriage took place on Tuesday
evening, the ceremony being performed
by the Rev. John Hemphill at his resi-
dence. 2410 Jackson street.
The Montana Kid who Is widely
known in fistic circles, arrived here
early on Sunday morning from Daw-
son. where he has been for nearly a
year. He chartered the schooner Hat
tie l. Phillips at st. Michael. and he it
was. therefore, who brought the 20
miners here, whose stories have been
told already. While they went to the
Palace. Baldwin and other fashionable
caravansaries ne betook himself to the
International on Kearney street. This
too when he has claims on El Dorado,
Sulphur. Dominion and All Gold
creeks, which entitled him by all the
ethics of old miners TO be a high roller.
More than this, he brought down, ac-
cording to the statement Of those i'm
mediately about him, $1,000 in gold,
and with this he soon began to make
the welkin ring Everybody in the
block. and along the street. and upon
several streets in fact, soon knew that
another Klondiker was in town. He
turned his money loose. too. in the good
old-fashioned way. and soon there
were hackmen carrying him and his
friends to and fro, and waiting for him
on the curb.
In the midst of his good time the
Klondiker happened to see the sign Of

she went to South Africa,
where her friends claim, she charmed
Barney Barnato. In this long period
the returned miner had scarcely
thought of her. But when he heard her
sing. saw her dance and had talked 10
her at the old Befia Union, he began
to think he might have been at least
with her for years. She seemed
delighted to meet the hardy man of
fortune, and the result was an engage
ment which was no sooner made than
the preacher was called in.

Guantanamo Bay, Santiago de Cuba,
July 26-The Prairie arrived here from
Nipe bay last evening and reported all
quiet.
The Spaniards last night sunk the
Spanish gunboat Sandoval, which has
been lying near Caimenera. This is
looked upon as being a gross breach
Of the terms of surrender, which the
Spaniards then had knowledge of, es-
peciaily considering the fact that food
has been sent by the United States
navy into Caimenera.
First Sergeant of Marines Kinnie of
the New York went north yesterday
evening on the Texas to get his COM
mission as second lieutenant of ma
rines. This is almost the only case of
such promotion on record in this
branch of the service.
1t is difficult to see how the large
party of Spanish troops at Holguin can
fail to surrender very soon, although
reinforced by the Spanish forces from
Gibrara. Holguin is one of the COM
handing points in eastern Cuba, and
the surrender of its garrison will be an
important event in the war. News
from there is expected shortly, and
upon it will depend some of the plans
of our commanders.
The Vixen and Suwanee returned to
Santiago yesterday morning, convoy
ing the prize ships brought here for

mand, except those engaged in the
Porto Rico expedition. depend upon the
decision of the authorities at Wash
ington, and the impression is growing
among the naval officers of high rank
in these waters that it is not advisable
to send a fleet to Spain without pre-
viously enabling the ships to undergo
thorough preparation, including going
into dry dock in several cases.

SKATERS ARMY
VIII Be Brought Home When Rid
of Yellow Fever.


Washington. July 26.-Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin said today that the oues-
ton of the disposition of the troops un-
der General Shafter at Santiago was
not yet settled. 1t is certain, however,
that there viii be no general move
ment from Santiago until after the
Spanish prisoners have been removed.
and there is some defiaite military
progress in Porto Rico. The health
conditions of the army at Santiago will
have considerable to do with the move
ment of those troops. The war depart
ment is taking steps for the establish
ment OF reserve camps in the Uaited
States. Military medical authorities
are confident of their ability to handle
and stamp ont disease among the
troops in eastern Cuba
When that has been accomplished, it
is more than probable that the majority
of the troops there may be returned to
the United States and given a short
holiday prior to the institution of The
campaign against Havana, and 1t is
not improbable that some of the regi-
ments which are entirely free from
disease may be allowed to come to the
United States il advance of any gen
eral movement in that direction.
Great care will be taken TO avoid the
introduction of yellow fever into the
United States.

PIPES OF THE WORLD.

peculiar to China was smoked N itcse
pipes which has since, through the in

by tobacco.
The pipe was also used in England
long before 1856. by Jean Nicot. from
whom tobacco received its botanical
name of nicotina. At the same time It
was introduced into England by the
colOnists from Virginia. Today all n=-
tons and tribes. whether civilized or
savage. are smokers of tobacco. It is
estimated that about fifty-ive hund eel
millions of pounds are used annuaUy.
Undoubtedly the most ancient race
OF smokers of WHOM we have any
knowledge is the aboriginal inhabitants
OF North America. At the time of their
first contact with white men 5hey
smoked in pipes the bark Of Q shrub
possessing narcotic qualities called
knick- knock. TIE Indians ara inVet-
crate smokers, and regard their pips
