l l-.z-
| TO enter men unless he believes that they
| have good show at winning.
| II is understood that Capt. Z. j. Muir
| ply, of the Arlington Wheelmen, has
raised some objection over the teams of
| some of the other clubs, according to the
| list published in The Times. He claims
| that some of the organizations are sub
| stituting riders who are not bona fide
| members, simply to win the race for the
honor of the club. He announces that
before the race he will protest any team
| which has other than club members on
| it.
In the invitation pursuit race for an

| all of the men are doing well and train

This interesting mans best work.
though was at Caimanera when the,
Marblehead, the St. Louis and the Yam
kee cleared away a place for Hunting
toms marines to land. The ships forced
Guantanamo bay, and though they met
with a warm reception kept up such
fire that the enemy retreated- The Span
ish cable station was knocked over and
the Marblehead stayed there, the master
of the situation.
Joined by the Dolphin and Vixen, for
merly P. A. B. Widener's yacht jose
phine a Philadelphia boat, the menace
was continued until on July 10 the battle
ship Oregon joined them. The ships
bombarded the place and followed 1t by
McCalla landing twenty marines and the
Oregon 40. Then Huntington landed his
$50 marines from the Panther. This gave
US a base of supplies. The next day the
British steamer Newfoundland tried TO
enter the harbor, but McCalla stopped
her with a shot and sent her away.
Since 8 o'clock on the day previous.
Saturday, the marines had their we'll
told fight. McCalla re-enforced Ihem with
what marines he could spare and also
sent a launch close TO shore with orders
to work her Colt machine gun with as
deadly effect as possible. 1t fought well.
In the next days fight McCalla threw
projectiles into the Spaniards. He kept
up this work nearly every day. On the
following Wednesday, with the Texas and
little Suwanee, came the avenging of the
marines loss. The Marblehead worked
up close to the Spanish fort and kept up
a constant peppering. After badly dam
aging the fort, McCalla went in farther
to shell the earthworks and barracks at
the west end of the harbor. He knocked
them into the air.
| While the operations have been going
| on before Santiago. McCalla has been
| vigilantly guarding the marines in Guam
tanamo Bay. His course has been closely
watched in Washington, and that he has
| won his struggle for his former standing
| is shown in the belief around the Navy
! Department that he is likely to be re-
/ stored to his old place on the list at the
end of the war. which would make him
| a full captain.
