RAN UP A BIG SCORE.
Yae's Showing Against Amherst Was Very
Pleasing.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 5.-Yale this
afternoon defeated Amherst at foot ball
by the score of 81 to 0. The score for the
first half was IA to 0. The game was
quite the contrary of the poor showing
made last Saturday against Wesleyan,
and was from start to flnish a good one.
1t was largely kicking game, with but
little line buoking, and the most remarka-
BILE thing about it was perhaps the utter
uselessness Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania tactics which Amherst used. The
new "ends-in" trick was ripped to pieces
by the Yale line and the "guards-back'
formation made no impression on the
Yale rushers. The elevens lined up as
follows:

of these local defacto governments should c.

WAR NOTES.

Dispatches received at Cape Haytien,
Hayti, from Havana, state that Com.
modore Schley's fleet forced the en-.
trance to Santiago de Cuba yesterday
afternoon and attacked the Spanish
squadron under Admiral Cervera. The
dispatches stated also that the Ameri
can fleet has been cannonading the
batteries OF Moro Castle, La Zecapa
and Punta Gorda The last of these
dispatches, which was sent at GAO p.
~, stated that the combat was still in
progress and that the advantage ap-
peared to be with the Americans.
The Navy Department in Washing.
ton denies that any such fight could
have occurred. Commodore Schley, it
is stated, would have been acting
against orders had he entered Santi-
ago harbor, as such q step would have
been attended with great danger.
The latest reports Of tie ships with
Commodore Schley state that be has
the armored cruiser Brooklyn, the
battleships Iowa, Massachusetts and
Texas, the protected cruiser Mime
apolis, the unarmored cruiser Marble
head, the auxiliary cruisers st. Paul,
Harvard and Yale, the gunboat Vixen
and one collier. Admiral Cervera has
he armored cruisers Vizcaya, Almi-
rante Oquendo, Cristobal Colon and To-
fanta Maria Teresa and the torpedo
boat destroyers Furor and Pluton.
Two of Admiral Cervera's torpedo
boat destroyers dashed out of Santiago
harbor late Sunday night and made for
the battleship Texas, but were dis
covered in time and were forced to re-
treat.
1t is generally believed in Washing
ton that the troops EN- barked at Tampa
are to be divided into two divisions,
one to be used in connection with Com
dore Schlev to capture Santiago and the
other to be used with Admiral Samp-
son to gain possession of Porio Rico.
Al attack on Havana is not expected
for some months, az the President ex-
poets to have 100 900 men we'll drilled
end equipped for it.
The Spaoiards are fortifying the
shore of Manila bay, apparently il
preparation for an attack by the Ameri-
cans.
News received at Key West yester-
day from Santiago de Cuba says the
auxiliary cruiser St. Paul has cut the
cable at that port.

A False Report.

KINGSTON, Ja., June lit is said
here that there is no probability that
Senior Capote, the vice president Of the
insurgent government of Cuba, has
been captured by the Spapiards, and
there are no Spanish garrisons near
Cape Maysi, or in the eastern part of
Cuba. Besides, it is pointed out that
the Spanish gunboats which formerly
pltrolled the waters about Cape Maysi
(8here the British steamer Belvidere,
on which Senior Capote was passenger,
was wrecked), are now shut up in the
blockaded harbors or are staying close
to the shore, fearing cspture. There is
no truth in the report circulated here
to day that blood was found on the
decks of the Belvidere.

Target Practice on Cuban Coast.

KEY WEST, Fla, June 1.-S:30 q. m.
The United States auxiliary gunboat
Uncas arrived here this morning from
the Cuban coast. She reports that on
Monday last, when about a mile and
a-half west of Matanzas light house, she
sighted Spanish blockhouse on shore.
Taking up position about six hundred
yards off shore, the Uncas fred two
shots at the house and the shells went
clear through the building, which was
wrecked. During the firing the auxili-
arg gunboat Leyden came up and also
fired a couple of shots. The block
house made no reply. This action upon
the part Of the Uncas and Leyden is in
accordance with the policy of the patrol
boats in Smelling any blockhouses they
may come across, and the crews enjoy
the target practice very much.
