chief event was the International

ton. This left the two old rivals to
fight it out, and Bald won, after three
exemplary heats.
In the ten-mile pursuit race between
Kaiser and Bourette, the latter caught
the former at four and three-oua-
miles, in spite of the fact that Bourc---
was slow in getting away, giving Kali
ser a 50-yard start. Bourette's excel
lent riding is shown from the fact that
his time was ahead of previous records

WEARY OF SALT PORK.
Why the Utah Batteries Held an In
dignation Meeting.

Concerning the Utah battries' com
plants as to rations. mentioned in The
Herald's special dispatches last Sun
day, the San Francisco Examiner says
The members of the Utah light ar
tillery are angry at the treatment they
have received, and they have had a
lively brush with Captain Richard
Young, their commanding officer. The
men, who have been on field rations
since their arrival in this city, are
weary of salt pork three times day
They are now buying some of their OWL
provisions, for they cannot eat the food
furnished them by Uncle Sam. The
citizens of Salt Lake raised purse of
81, 900 for the Utah boys and placed the
money in the hands of Captain Young.
The batteries held an indignation meet
ing yesterday and demanded that Cap
tain Young should divide the money
pro rata among the men. Captain
Young, however, refused to accede TO
the request, saying that the lady who
gave him the money also gave him dis
erection in regard to its distribution. At
the meeting of the soldiers a corporal,
who attempted to take the side of the
captain, was nearly hooted out of
camp. Captain Young, however, was
not to be intimidated. He said that he
wanted to keep the donation in bat
terry fund for the benefit of his men.
The protest of the artillerymen how
ever was so strong that the captain de-
cided on a compromise. He has agreed
to give the men 81 a head and put the
balance of the money in battery fund.
The men of the Utah delegation are far
from being satisfied. They demand
fresh meat and several articles that the
other camps are getting from the gov
eminent. The Utah officers, however,
have no sympathy with the protests of
the men. Captain Grant says that the
food furnished by the government is
good enough for his command.
LIEUTENANT WEBB'S RESIGNA-
TON.
San Francisco Chronicle: All has not
been in strictest harmony among the
officers of the Utah artillery. Some
days before the two batteries left Salt
Lake City Second Lieutenant w. c.
Webb of Battery A sent in his resigna-
ton at the request of Captain r. w.
Young, and it was accepted by the de-
partment at Washington. Through
the intercesSion of nearly all the other
officers of the Utah volunteers a peace
was patched up and Lieutenant Webb
was reappointed by the governor of
Utah, scarcely a day after the accept
ance of his resignation. On the author
ity of one of the cavalry officers ii may
be said that the real forces opposed to
Webb were sectarian and
political, though inefficiency on his part
was alleged.

WIDESPREAD DISTRESS.

The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says: Widespread distress is
reported in various parts of the interior,
more especially in the province of Cata-
ionia, where food prices have risen con-
siderably, while a number of working peo-
pie have been thrown out of employment.
This week several factories at MaureSa,
northwest of Barcelona, will have to be
closed, as n result of which hundreds of
families will be plunged into misery. The
local government is endeavoring to al
leviate want by opening soup kitchens.
According to a dispatch from Murcia,
capital of the province of that name, riots
occurred yesterday Sunday in the city
of Mula, owing to the scarcity of food,
especially bread. Details of the outbreaks
have not yet been received, but ii is
known that the local authorities and a
number of wealthy individuals have ar
ranged to have cheap bread baked for the
poor.
The views of a considerable number of
Spaniards respecting the conduct of the
war are expressed by FL Nacional as fol-
lows:
Without plan without purpose, with
out earneStneSS, we are frittering away
the one advantage which the enemy lacks,
that our military education gave u.s. We
neither boldly take the offensive nor con-
fine ourselves strictly to defense. Ad-
miral Cervera displays a system of STRAIT
egg which warrants the belief that we
are making ready for a protracted war
so as to tire out the enemy but Captain
Aunon minister of marine, with his usual
breeZineSS. declares that he cannot pro-
long the conflict
