HARVARD--YALE.
Experts of the Opinion That the Har-

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 19-Almost
continuous rain since Thursday handi-
capped the Yale-Harvard football gains
today. The elaborate decorations of the
town were spoiled and the rain kept
the crowds in doors until late in the
morning. The straw covering the grid
iron had done its work rather better
than was expected and the field was in
fairly good condition

Harvard's heavier eleven would have
the advantage. On the other hand

ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT.

Copyright, 1895 by The Associated Press.
Port Au Prince, May IA great
sensation was caused here by the ar
rival, today, of the military command
ant of the Isle of Tortugas, off the
northwest coast of Hayti and due north
of Port De Paix, near the entrance to
the Windward Passage, who brought
word to the Haytian war department
of what is believed to have been a
naval engagement on Sunday.
The commandment reached Port De
Paix fgpm the Isle of Tortugas in a
canoe. He reported to the war Office
that throughout the whole of Sunday
very persistent cannonading had been
heard east of the island and that from
its duration and intensity there was a
strong presumption that very serious
action was in progress.
A thick fog a the time made it i'm
possible to distinguish any vessel that
might be engaged.
