CLOSED SANTIAGO HARBoR
WITH TIE MERRIMAo.

Eight Of the American Golfers Men
Reported to Be Prisoners of the
Spaniards.
PoRTo PLATA, San Domingo, June
3.-Cable messages received here
from Santiago de Cuba state that
the Merrimac was sunk while trying
to enter the harbor there. An off.
Ger and seven men were taken
prisoners. How many were lost is
not known.
After q sharp aud effective can
nonade which lasted from three to
four hours an American auxiliary
cruiser, which is said to have been
the Merrimac, tried to force an
entrance to the harbor. The Span.
iards allowed her to pass the first
line of torpedoes. but when she
reached the second line a torpedo
was discharged at her. 1t took effect,
and the ship sank almost imme-
diately. One officer, one engineer
and six sailors were taken prisoners.
being unable to get away. Only the
extremities Of the tunnels and the
tips Of the masts Of the vessels are
now visible.
A second dispatch from Santiago
states that it is believed the Merri-
mac was sent into the neck Of the
harbor by Sampson for the purpose
Of closing the port, and thus
prevent the escape of the Span
ish squadron. From informa-
ton conveyed by the prisoners
it is believed they volunteered for
this dangerous work, and that none
persisted. They were prepared for
the explosion when it occurred.

| its issue OF the 4th instant says: v
A radical change in the rules
governing lawn tennis has provided
subject for general discussion
among the players during the past
week. The new rule provides that
the server shall stand with both feet
behind the base line when the SER
| vice is made.
During the past three years the
players have been running up to the
net on service to such an extent as
to injure the game. 1t is to correct
this evil that the present rule has
been framed by the executive COM
mittee Of the National Lawn Ten
mis- Association, The new rule will
have a direct effect upon the best
players, but to what extent will not
be developed until the important
tournaments have been held. 1t is
expected to eliminate feature OF
the game which would in time be a
| detriment to it.

HE rs MISTAKEN.

While addressing a crowd of enthus'
iastic listeners in st. Louis the other
day President Mckinley made the
statement that '.for the first time in
the country's history the government
is floating bonds at per cent. and to-
day the same bonds are at premium
of per cent, the profits of the pre-
MUM going to the people," The
president is certainly not q close stu-
dent of history, or if he is, then he al
ows his zeal to build up credit for his
administration to dull his memory.
During the fiscal year of 1883 the gov
ernment has borrowed more than 5000.
600, 900 at three per cent and the bonds
of that issue, like those of the issue of
1898, went to premium.
This statement of the president is
made use OF by the gold press as an
argument in favor OF their pet theory
that the gold standard strengthens the
credit of the notion and enables it to
float its credits at low rate OF intesst,
when there is no ground for such an
assumption. That we are now able to-
day to borrow money at 3 per cent,
and that we were able to do 80 Is years
ago is not owing to the gold standard,
but to the confidence money lenders
have in the stability of the govern
ment and its ability to pay its obliga-
finDs

WILL NOT ASSUME
THE DEBT
This Is The Peace Commits
sioners' Decision.

PARIS. Oct. 27.-The Spanish peace
commissioners have accepted the nega'
tive view of the United States com.
missioners toward the proposed as
sumption by the United States Of the
Cuban debt.
The American commissioners have
firmly but courteously declined to as
sumo for the United States entire or
joint responsibility for Spanish finan-
cial conditions, and the Spanish com.
missioners have finally abandoned
the effort, and have agreed that the
Cuban article of the protocol shall.
without conditions, have place In
the ultimate treaty of peace. Thus
Spain agrees to relinquish sovereignty
over any claim to Cuba without either
terms or conditions. All differences,
if any existed regarding Porto Rico and
the cession of the Island Of Guam,
were also arranged by mutual under
standing, aud the commissioners
found themselves we'll nigh touching
the Philippine question, which will be
taken up next week.
