Grand Circuit winners.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 4--The rack at the
Columbus Driving Park was heavy to-day
as result of recent rains. but very fair
time was made in the three races run in
the mud. The 2:11 pace furnished the SEN
sation of the day. Charlie B. was backed
by Hubinger to win this race, and it is said
his losing aggregate $1,000. In the pools
Charlie b. first brought 1925 to $500 for the
field, and Hubngers nervy betting soon
forced the field down to 800. 1t is said the
pools on this race amounted to $4,000. The
sensation was furnished when Indiana, a
horse that was never considered, won the
race in straight heats. Indiana has speed
but is a bad actor. The mud just suited
him. however, and he paced without a
break, never being in danger The best
Charlie B. could do was to take fourth
place. Murphy is said to have been big
winner in the pools. Owing to the condition
of the track Star Pointer will not go against
the track record until Saturday. Sum-
maries:

completed. It is the general impress sion among naval offers that this Cow ernment has made representations to the Brazilian Government through the Charge q 'Affaires of the United States at Rio de Janeiro looking to the pre- vention of the sale of the ships to Spain, and that these representations may result in the retention of the ships at Elswick subject to the call of the Brazilian Government.

 NEW YORK, March 7.-The Her aids Washington correspondent sends the following: Spain has manifested her earnest desire to maintain friendly relations with the United States by promptly recalling the intimation that the recall of Consul-Genera1 Lee and the revocation Of orders for naval ves- sells to carry relief supplies to sufferers in Cuba would tend to promote har- mony between the two countries
 Accompanying the withdrawal is the formal announcement made by Senor Dubosc, Charge d'Affaires of the Span ish Legation, that General Lees recall was never officially requested. There is no denial, however, that an unoff1- cial intimation to this effect was sent to the State Department through Min ister Woodford, and that the President promptly refused to comply with 1t.

WEYLER SECURED
 SUPPLIES IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, March 7.-The Journal will tomorrow print a story to the eff feet that former Captain General Wey- Ter of Cuba bought large quantity of powder from the Dittmar Powder Com pany of this city, the powder being shipped to Havana last November. Lieutenant White of the Twenty-third Regiment, National Guard of this city. is given as an authority for this state ment. The claim is made that the powder and a large quantity of other explosives was shipped to Havana on the steamer Ciudad Condal about No vember 30 It is asserted that the two National Guardsmen who had charge of the explosives on behalf of the Ditt- mar Powder Company were Captain F. c. Hamlin and Lieutenant White Hamlin is the manager of the Dittmar Powder Company, while White is the bookkeeper. On account of the large quantity of powerful explosives and cable coils purchased 1t is inferred that Captain General Weyler wished to use the articles in the construction of a 6vnan mite mine

 AND SPAIN Where the Government at Madrid Is Likely

Probability That the Arm strongs Would Supply the

But as to Supplying Money, France Would Most Likely Be the Chief
 Contributor.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March "A copy righted cablegram from London to the Evening Post says: Special inquiries in official and financial circles to-day show that of the many grave difficult ties pending in China Japan. West Africa, the Nile and elsewhere the most serious view is taken of the American Spanish relations. At the American and Spanish embassies the utmost re- ticence, of course, is shown. They pre- tend to know nothing, and it is note worthy, in view of reports that the Armstrongs have sold cruisers to Spain, that the Armstrongs' board has given express instructions that no questions are to be answered regarding their dealings with British or foreign gov ernments.
 Varying conclusions are drawn from this refusal to confirm the denial of the Spanish purchase from the Arm strongs. What cannot be denied is that the Armstrongs have had relations with Spain since 1886, have built sev- eral cruisers to Spain's order and now have vessels in stock that could be sold if money were forthcoming.
 Is French money helping Spain? Two of the first financial houses were asked l plies may be grouped thus: Nothing of the kind has been definitely ar ranged and obviously, seeing the large French financial interests in Spain French financiers will be most anxious to keep Spain from war, but it is equally certain that if Spain did de- eide that war, however desperate, was the only escape from the growing finan- cial trouble at home, Paris, and not London, would be the quarter whence money would be sought and beyond doubt obtained. AS yet, however, noth- ing has been definitely settled
 The fact probably is that Spain Is anxious to buy ships and that the Armstrongs are ready to sell if they can see the money. The French finan- ciers are not eager to advance the ne- cessary money, so long as by holding back they can assist the cause of peace The Armstrongs have the. reputation among the naval circles here of pro- ducing the best armed and protected cruisers in the world.

NEGOTIATING FOR THE
 PURCHASE OF SHIPS.
Navy Department in Communication With the Embassy at
 London

NEW YORK, March "A special to the Herald from Washington says: The Navy Department has been in cable communication during the day with Lieutenant- Colonel We'll, naval attache of the Embassy in London, but the purport of the dispatches sent and re- ceived the department declines to state It is known, however, that these mes sa ages relate to the ships nearly com pleted abroad which it will be to the interest of this Government to obtain. It is possible that they may also have related to the negotiations being made by Spain for additional ships
 I learned from an official of the de- partment to-day that information re- ceived by Secretary Long on Saturday last that the Brazilian cruiser Anna zonas and an unarmored sister ship had been sold came from the builders of these vessels at Elswick, England.
 According to the message received from the builders the ships have been withdrawn from sale. It is known by Secretary Long that Spain has been negotiating for the sale of these ships and that she was the only Government anxious to add them to her fleet. It was hinted to me to-day that Brazil might have something to say in oppo- sition to the sale of the Amazonas and her sister ship to a prospective enemy of the United States and that negotia- tions for the sale had not been finally

Boutelle said: There will be no oppo- sition to this resolution from me or the members of the Naval Committee. Unfortunately for me, I have been placed in a false position by some of the newspapers in connection with the policy of the administration on the Spanish question. I am not opposed to increasing the navy, the building of battle ships to protect our country from Spanish attack. but I was placed in such a position I could not consci- entiously tell what the intentions of the administration were in this regard. I have been in consultation with the President and other gentlemen on this | subject for some time past and the question as to the proper time to take action was a proposition which could not be agreed upon until to-day. Those of US who have been censured and ridiculed for our supposed obstruction of the propositions to increase the ! army and navy were acting in thor ough accord with the President, who did not deem it wise to precipitate a sensational debate in Congress while the public mind was inf1amed to such a high degree"
 Senator Hale said: While I am not in favor of going to war with Spain or any foreign power unless the prov | ocation is sufficient, 1 want to say l that heartily commend the course of | the President in dealing with this very delicate subject. He has displayed wisdom and discretion which every loyal citizen will appreciate, and un- less I am greatly mistaken he will find i that both houses of Congress are pre- | pared to give him most cordial and | loyal support in the line he has adopt ed. The resolution proposed by Can non in the House Is a very proper one, and while 1t is not to be construed as a declaration of war 1t Is notice to Spain and the world at large that the President of the United States Is given the power and substantial SUD- port of the representatives of the peo- pie in his efforts to prepare for any emergency that may arise. I do not believe there will be any serious op- position to this resolution in the Sen ate. It is brief and to the point and is easily understood, so that if it passes the House tomorrow, as I earnestly expect it will, I feel assured that 1t will receive the unanimous indorse- ment of the Senate"
 Senator Allison concurred in the opinion expressed by Senator Hale.
