Best Card Ever Seen at the Track for
This Arternoon-seven Races, and
They Begin Promptly at $50
oClock-Yesterday's Sport.

After the check-up in the ring at the
track yesterday afternoon it was FOUND
that the wealth was pretty evenly dis
tributed. two exclusive favorites, two
second choices and two shorts winninG
the purses. After the mile and 2o-yard
race the Judges beset themselves 10
thinking II over. Rapido won in a gal
lop a length and a half before All
Smoke. favorite. and Los Pr1etos a head
abort of second. second choice. Last
"wednesday Rapido started in a mile
race and was beaten by Coda and Enci-
no. he finishing a length back. The
time was l:43. Yesterday he went a
mile and 20 yards in 1:43A, and finished
easy. Rapido was a SS5 favorlte Wed-
nesday; yesterday he sold In the heid
for SIS. and his mutuals paid Slo2so. III
all had a queer look from the Judges
point Of view. so a verdict was rem
dered. ]. M. Capps, owner of Rapido,
was Informed that his stable would be
refused admission to the tracks OF the
circuit. and he will therefore do no more
racing here this season. Ruiz, his jock
ey, was set down indefinitely. AFTER

Mrs. G. I. Bittinger, who keeps
her supply of matches on top OF
her kitchen cupboard, had occa-
sion to get a box the other day,
when to her infinite surprise, the
matches had ignited, the flames
bursted the lid off of the box,
burned the lid and box almost to
d char and then died. The ques-
tlon is was 1t what we generally
termed instantaneous combus-
ton, for there was no other con-
ceivable way by which the
matches could have become
ignited. The greatest surprise
of all was that the house was
not set afire and in that case,
what would have been the sur
misses of the origin of the same,
as Mrs. Bittinger uses nothing
but an oil stove. Does this Incl
dent not illustrate that many
fires that are attributed to incen.
diaries, originate from causes
entirely disassociated from them

Remarkable Rescue

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plain
field, ILL.,, makes the statement,
that she caught cold, which set
tied on her lungs; she was treated
for month by her family physi-
clan, but grew worse. He told
her that she was a hopeless victim
of consumption and that no medi-
cine could cure her. Her drug
gist suggested DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption; she
bought a bottle and to her de-
light found herself benefited from
first dose. She continued it's use
and after taking six bottles,
found herself sound and we'll;
now does her own housework,
and is as we'll as she ever was.

ments engaged against the Span
iards. While the highest credit
is to be given to them, and they
fought bravely and well, there
was a moral support of the regu-
lars back Of 1t all.
"Our volunteers lacked that
unity, cohesion and individual
support noticeable in our trained
troops, but at the same time no
dlsparagement should be made of
the volunteer regiments in the
campaign. What they lacked
otherwise they made up for in en-
thusiasm and patriotic spirit,
and [ desire to command no bet
ter army than the one composed
of the class of volunteers under
me in the Santiago campaign"

the Marine Hospital service at
Key West have decided that some
cases are yellow fever, and while
passengers are allowed to leave

had the yellow fever are allowed
to land at any port in the United
States. The officers and crew of
the steamer Mascotte are not
allowed to go ashore In Key
West, although all are immunes.
The steamer carries no freight on
it's trips from Key West, and all
Of the baggage OF passengers,
immunes as well as non-immunes,
is put off at the quarantine sta
tion and fumiSated. DR.. Murry,
whom DR.. Porter has called on

poets at Key West have yellow
fever or not, has not yet reported.

This Mornings Fire

The fire bell has been sounded
once a day for the past three
days. Thursday afternoon an
alarm came from the city market.
The little smoke house was on
fire but was soon extinguished.
Yesterday noon an alarm came
from William Sinclair's house,
where a kitchen fiue had started
a small confagration, which was
extinguished before the depart
ment arrived. This morning
about 4 o'clock, another alarm
came from the market, from
which smoke was seen issuing.
The boys quickly responded and
put out the small blaze, which
had been started by some mali
cious party, evidentaly u boy,
in P. B. Dukes stall, among
his papers and accounts. His
desk and papers were destroyed,
and the partition between his
stall and that of j. w. Davis
was badly burned. In a few
minutes the entire wood work of
the interior of the building would
have been afire and great dam
age done. The fire bug took one
of the big knives and cut Mr..
Dukes bicycle tire, running it. Mr..
Dukes loss was probably $50.
The party who did the dastardly
act, effected an entrance through
the door of another stall, where
there was only room for a small
body to squeeze through.

SHAFTER SPEAKS
The Successful General Talks About
The Santiago Campaign

New York, Aug. 26.-A dis
patch to the Herald from Santi-
ago says:
Prior to embarking on the
steamer Mexico, today Maj. Gen.
Shafter consented to an interview,
and discussed in general terms
the campaign just ended. Gen.
Shafter said:
81 look upon the campaign just
ended as a successful one in the
highest degree, not only in re-
gard to the military operations,
but especially in regard to the
great results achieved. When
we decided to attack Santiago,
we looked for nothing more as
the immediate fruit Of our victory
than the capture Of the city.
From military point of view, I
perhaps took steps which might
not be deemed justifiable under
other circumstances, but [ knew
the temper and capabilities of my
soldiers and the moral effect Of
our gradually cooping up the en-
emy within their own lines. My
engineers were very apprehensive
that the Spaniards might break
through on my left and cut off
Slboney. This, from purely
military standpoint, might have
been truthfulIly correct, but per-
sonally l had not for a moment
any fear on that score"
HAD THE TOWN AT HIS MERCY
"Our primary object was to
drive Cervera's feet out and next
take the town. We had gradual
ly driven the Spanlards back on
the highlands circling the city,
and were slowly advancing day
by day. The enemy began losing
spirit as soon as our guns had
been placed in position to cover
the town. When Cervera left the
situation changed. The town
was at my mercy, and had I Civ

it would have been taken within
twenty-four hours. | believe with
the forces then at my command,
reinforced as [ had been, | was in
a position to take the city by
force, but If | had taken such a
step of such a character, what
would have been the result? ]
estimate our casualties would
have been 5000 men, yet the ac-
tion [ took had more brilliant re-
suits without SO heavy a loss OF
valuable lives. The town itself
was admirably situated for de.
fence, and the fight would have
been a long and bloody one,
Every house was little fortress
itself. Had the Spaniards, forced
by desperation, fought the battle
out in the streets, our loss would
have been enormous.
ANsW ERs HIS ACCUsERs
"Personal reflections have beer
cast upon me because l was mo-
on the fighting line. That was
not the place for general il
command of the army. 1t mus
be remembered that | was con
nected by telephone with the Off
GERS at the front and better able
to direct operations from the
position l had taken. Save fol

the firm that is to furnish the official 1lG-

"The cotton crop of 1878 consists, ac-
cording to all authorities. of every plie ot
cotton that is marketed between the Isl ol
