CARNIVAL OF CYCLING.
international Bicycle Races at Bel
laire, Florida.

Bellaire, Pa, Feb. 1.-The information
al bicycle races which were pulled off
this afternoon at this place were largely
attended, notwithstanding the north
western wind which prevailed and pre-
vented fast time and made it too cool
for comfort.
Mile heat, match race, between Au-
gust Lehr, champion of Germany, and
Nat Butler of Boston: When Lehr came
to Bellaire, six weeks ago, he challeng-
ed any American for $1,000. and was
promptly taken up by Walter Sanger.
Late events prevented Sanger coming,
and Nat Butler, the second taker Of
Lehr's challenge. came to met him. In
the first heat Lehr paced Butler the en-
tire final lap, overcoming Buffers
homestretch sprint and defeating him
by two lengths. Time, 2:59 2-5.
The second heat of this race was
much the same, except that Butler let
himself out in an earlier sprint, coming
abreast of Lehr when near the finish,
but the doughty German has great en-
durance, and he crossed the tape
length ahead winning the match. The
German flag was raised on the Flagstaff
in his honor.

DAMAGE CLAIMS UPON SPAIN
INTENTIONS TO PRESENT THEM
WITH VIGoR.
Minister Woodford Will Soon Receive
Instructions to Press the Claim of
the Widow Ruiz.

New York. Feb. ACCORDING to the
Washington correspondent of the Herald,
another demand is to be made upon Spain
for the payment of $4,000 indemnity TO
the widow of DR.. Ricardo Ruiz for the
murder OF her husband in a. Guanabacoa
Jail. The state department is preparing
an instruction to Minister Woodford,
which will be sent to that official in a
few days. in which he will be directed to
call the attention of Minister of Foreign
Affairs Sagasta to the fact that this
claim was presented last summer; that
ii has not yet been paid, nor in fact has
a detailed answer been received 10 the
note addressed the late Minister Canovas.
The only reply made has been formal
acknowledgment Of the receipt of the
claim.
There is reason to believe that the in
structions which the department is pre-
pairing will be more vigorous In character
than that submitted last summer.
The department received a letter from
Mrs Ruiz a few days ago, in which she
asked to be informed as to the steps
taken to procure the payment of her
claim. Mrs. Ruiz wrote that she was in
needy circumstances and expressed the
hope that the United States would do all
it could TO obtain the indemnity de-
manded
