The Bayonne Rowing Association and
the New Jersey Bowling Club rolled a
postponed game last night at the Bayonne
alleys in the Amateur Bowling Associa-
ton. 1t was scheduled for January II.
The result was not large. The home team
rolled below their average, but had a
good-sized margin nevertheless. They
started off with the lead and held it right
through the anne. The New Jerseys
were far chino in the middle frames
and made some effort to catch up, but
without success, although they reduced
the lead somewhat. Bayonne lacked six
pins of the 100 average. Prior, Huber and
Pyatt were the only Bayonne bowlers to
beat the 100 block. Dickson encountered
numerous splits and fell far below the
average. For the New Jersey B.. c.. Lem
beck and Lawrence were high. Score:-

CAVALRY TO COME NORTH.
Gen. Wheeler's Men to Go First to
MOntauk Point.


An experimental movement of troops is to
be made within few days from Santiago
to Montauk Point. l.. l. AS soon as the
necessary transportation can be arranged
the men, a part of General Wheelers d.
vision Of cavalry, now at Santiago, will be
brought back to the United States. They
will go into camp at Montauk Point, and
will be kept there probably for some time.
In the healthful and invigorating climate
at Montauk the men are expected rapidly
to recuperate from the results of their
hardshtps in Cuba.
The troops that are to be brought back
at this time have not been exposed to the
fever infection, and, thus far, have suf-
fered little from sickness. If the expert
ment should prove successful and should
the troops improve rapidly in condition
other parts of General Skaters corps Will
be brought very soon to Montauk Point.
AS soon sufficient number OF the i'm
mune forces can be sent to Santiago to
properly garrison the city, General Shafter s
men will be moved back into the hills
where the sanitary conditions are much
better than they are about Santiago This
movement will be preliminary to their re-
turn to the United States, where they can
secure suitable rest after the arduous cam
paign in Cuba
In addition to the 1st and I'd Immune
Regiments which have been sent to Santa
go as IL garrison force for the city, the Sd
and 9th Immunes have also been ordered to
Santiago. AS soon as transportation can
be arranged for them they will sail from
Savannah Ga. 1t is not unlikely that at
least one other regiment will be sent to
Cuba at the same time, but the designation
of the regiment has not yet been made.

these sick men I again informed General
Shafter of the condition of the ship. l said
that the water was rotten and the food
was bad. 1 asked to be allowed to go by
way OF Kingston, so We could get water.
General Shafter sent me orders to sail d.

fellows on the way and my crew has given

DIR. Lesser's Statement.
DR.. A. M. Lesser of the Red Cross, speak
ing of the condition on board the transport,
said: Orders were received to supply the
Concho with 1, 600 rations for 175 persons
who were ordered on board of her. Major
Lagarde and DR.. Ireland went through the
camp and selected 175 convalescents and
convalescent fever patients who were able
to walk. In order to secure a return home
the men will frequently affect illness to
such a degree that it may be often hard to
determine whether one is sick or not.
Medicines were supplied in quantity
thought to be sufficient, but on the eve of
the departure 1 found the entire ships load,
excepting possibly twenty-five persons, suf-
fering from fever and bowl troubles, for
which there proved to be an insufficient
supply of medicines on board the ship. The
rations put on board We're therefore unfit to
be served to the sick men. The supply of
water also was impure and unfit for use,
having been taken aboard at Tampa early
In May.
room berths Bunks We're provided for the
men between decks, but, being devoid of
mattresses and owing to the intense heat,
were practically useless. The men could
not live below, many being compelled to
sleep on deck under awnings"
DR.. Lesser has submitted statement re-
garding the matter to the president of the
Red Cross Society.

THE ISLAND OF YAP,

Naval Station.

Yap, one of the Caroline Islands. has be-
come place of growing interest to the
American people because of its possible use

Department in regard to the Caroline ISL

long by five broad. There are hardly any
rivulets, but inland are extensive swamps,

terraces, sites of ancient cultivation stone
paved roads; paes or ancient platforms of
stone, faced with huge circular quartz
wheels, set up at their sides; enormous
council lodges of quaint design, with bold,
high and projecting gables, and lofty
carven pillars. Walls of ancient FISH ponds
and stone weirs fill the lagoon between the
reef and the shore, making navigation a
difficult matter. There are some 5000 na-

LARGEST APE IN THE WORLD,
Rubc is Bigger and Stronger Thar
John l.. Sullivan.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
The biggest orang-outang ever in cap
tivity, the most wonderful ape ever seen
by civilized man, has just been brought to
this country.
He is now in the Philadelphia Geological
Gardens "RLbe" is the name they have
given him in Philadelphia on account of
the length of his whiskers and other fea..
lures supposed to be peculiar to the fnhab-
liant of remote country districts
Rube's size is enormous and astonishing
Il Is convenient to compare him with John
L. Sullivan. who is to most Americans an
IDEAL of weII-grown man.
Rube stands five feet eleven inches In his
bare feet. John l.. Sullivan is only five
feet ten and half inches.
kube measures eight feet from tip to
Tip Of his outstrelched arms. John L. Sui
Hvan's measurement in this respect is only
SIX feet and one inch.
Rube weighs 900 pounds. John I. SuIIi-
van, in his best lighting condition weighed
only $50 pounds.
These measurements are to g certain ex-
tent deceptive Rube is little bigger than
Sullivan, but his strength is incalculably
greater. a dozen Sullivans could not knock
him out with their bare hands
Give Rube a good. solid hold for his habds
or feet and he can pull 100 men to him
Probably Sullivan could pull three
1t is not alone as a creature of size and
strength that Rube is interesting lie is
one Of a rare race that is fast disappearing
from the earth He is one of the nearest
relatives of man among the beasts
Rube came to the United States on the
British steamer Ben Alder which sailed
from Singapore on April 25. Her voyage
occupied forty-five days. She brought her
cargo TO Pierrepont stores in BROOKLYN
where she arrived week ago. The cargo
included Rube and three of his family.
dozens of common monkeys, and q large
assortment OF pythons and wild animals
from southeastern Asia
Rube is fearfulIy human in apnaa rance
He resembles an unspeakably ugly man,
His age Is estimated at thirty. II is said
that the orang-outang is full grown ri
twenty. and that under favorable circun,-
stances he may live to be one hundred
Scientific Observers believe that RIbe's in
tellect'Ial capacity is far superior 10 that
OF the illustrious gorilla Crowley and the
famed chimpanzee Johanna. The n~obIan,
Is to induce him to exhibit a little of his
capacity.

The Commodore Gives Up His Flag
ship and May Get the Harvard.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
GUANTANAMO, Province of Santiago de
Cuba, July 25.-Commodore Schley today
sat down in his cabin on the Brooklyn at a
table filled with over 100 letters received
in the last two months, They were from
every part of the country, and from all
classes of licCple-senator5, representatives,
state legislators, governors, common coun-
ellis and private citizens in every walk of
life. There We're bundles Of poems and
thousands of newspaper clippings. There
were requests for autographs, for coat but
tons, cap ribbons, or almost any kind of
souvenir that the commodore might care to
give. There were pieces of music dedicated
to the commodore, advertisements with his
picture in them, letters from societies
named after him, and, finally, an engrossed
set of resolutions from his native town in
Maryland.
The commodore threw up his hands with
a gesture of despair, but said:
Yes, / am going to try to answer them
ALL if it's only a very brief line" and he
began.
Once in while, amid the dictation. he
found a letter from some crank warning
him of mines and other dangers. To the
writer's asking for souvenirs he answered
that his coat did not have enough buttons
TO go around and that he did not wish to
appear partial
While answering these letters Commo-
dore Schley was apprised of the new df-
vision of the sQuadronS, and the fact that
he would have to change f1agships, as the
Brooklyn was assigned to foreign duty. 1t
is probable that his flag will fly from the

HOBSON MEETS HIS MOTHER.
She Shed Tears of Joy When He
Reached Her at Lithia Snrinss

Reached Her at Lithia SprinEs.
Lieut. Richmond Pearson Hobson, who
has been expected in Georgia ever since his
arrival in the United States from Santiago.
is with his mother at Lithia Springs today.
The meeting between mother and son YES
terday was pathetic one. The son kissed
his mother, who threw her arms around his
neck, and for several moments rested her
head on his shoulder, shedding tears of joy
The crowds stood aside in reverence
AS she walked up the lane from the depot
to the hotel, leaning on the arm of her boy,
her face was aglow. Those two led the
way from the station, and the guests fol-
lowed two by two. The hotel parlors were
decorated by most beautiful flowers. Flags
were draped over the portieres and the
word ''Welcome.' made of green leaves,
was spread over the door. A string band
furnished music.
Lieut. Hobson has not definitely arranged
all his plans and does not know just how he
will occupy his time prior to leaving for
Santiago or Just how soon he will return
He thinks now he will go back via Key
West He says now he will be spared a
visit to the young lady in the west whom
he Is reported to marry, as the report is
untrue.
The lieutenant speaks very modestly of
the attentions shown him since he reached
here. He appreciates 1t ALL but his manner
shows that he rather disikes notoriety and
would rather enjoy more quiet and less
popularity The wife of Governor Atktn-
son, one of the most active workers in the
Army and Navy League, telephoned Lieu
tenant Hobson yesterday that the mem
bers of the league We're anxious to give
him reception this afternoon. The lieu
tenant responded, saying he would be most
happy to accept if circumstances permitted
1T.
The reception, which will be a public one.
will be held at the governors mansion at
$50 o'clock tonight.
