M,DUFFEE,s GREAT RIDING.
In Thirty Mile Race with Taylor Ho
Breaks Worlds Records.

Boston, June T.-World's bicycle
records once again went by the board
from the ninth to the thirtieth mile to-
day when Eddie McDuffie easily de-
feated Major Taylor Of Brooklyn at
the Charles River Park in a paced
thirty mile race. From the start to-
about the fifteenth mile 1t was hot
event, but after that time Taylor did
not show up as we'll against the great
work of McDuffie, nevertheless the
gamey colored lad broke nearly all his
own records for many Of the short dis
tances. The weather. conditions were
well nigh perfect for the race. Both
men got good starts, and McDuffie's
first mile in 1:51 4-5 showed him only
little in the lead. The pacing talent
was good and McDuffie was superb in.
his pick-ups. Taylor had not the speed
at times to keep pace and he was rag
ged toward the end on catching the
machines. The defeated man, however,
was game to the last. McDuffie's miles
after the sixteenth were at 1:56 clip.

TEAM WRECK IN WATERBURY,.
Ten Empty Cars Demolished on New
England Road-Loss $4,000,

Waterbury June 17.-The second Sec
ton Of freight train No. 90 OF the New
England railroad, west-bound, was
wrecked this afternoon Just beyond the
Washington avenue bridge, and ten
empty cars were demolished. The loss
will be about SO, 800 No one was injur-
ed and travel was delayed only few
hours. The cause of the accident is
unknown, but it is thought to have
been caused by a brake beam falling
down and catching in the frog of the
switch. The train was moving at a,
good rate of speed at the time of the
accident. Part Of the train had passed
the switch, but when the frog was
turned the latter part Of the train was
turned onto a switch and the cars coll
lided with some empty cars standing
there, with the result that some were
thrown down the enlbankment and
some blockaded the main track. Wreck
ing trains from Hartford and this city,
however, cleared the main track, so
that there was but very little delay to
travel.

There was desultory firing to-day in
every quarter on the outskirts of the
town with no material result although
there were several artillery accidents
and one explosion which killed six
Spaniards and wounded many more.
The Spaniards are impotent with rage,
bewilderment and resistless despair.
The streets tonight are crowded with
officers with their hands in their pock-
cts gaping vacantly while an internit-
tent fusilade is audible in all directions.
Carloads of food have been stored in
side the walled citadel.
There was a concerted attack yester-
day evening in every direction. The
Spaniards were informed of the insur-
gents intention to capture two maga-
zines outside the fortitications of Ma
late and Santa Meseta, southwark and
westward of the city. Therefore, they
concentrated their forces for a SUI
preme effort in their defense and bonn
barded the jungle all night long. In
the meantime the insurgents captured
Malabon and Caloocan in the northern
suburbs. The Spaniards were thus
outwitted, out t-generalled and harassed
to death. During the previous night,
owing to misunderstanding squad
of Spanish artillerymen rode into Man.
lila, causing immense CONSERVATION, it
being believed that the insurgents were
storming the city. A Spanish officer
commanding an outpost at San Juan
left his men in charge of a sergeant
came to town and was found helplessly
drunk. 1t is reported that he was sen
fenced to death. A siX-inch gun at
Manalate upon being fired into the
woods over the Spaniards heads, the
shot struck a tree and killed several
Spaniards.
There is a story current here TO the
effect that the officers of the German
ship Irene went to picnic on horse
back to the furthest outpost of san
Juan, accompanied by tie highest
Spanish staff officers. They had a
champagne lunch and the captain of
the Irene is said to have made speech
during which he declared the Ameri-
cans "will never annex the Hawaiian

peror." Finally it is said, the German

WASHINGTON ADTIs ED.
Cndiz Squadron Left That Port Thurs
ay-Comprfses Sixteen Vessels.

Washington, June 1.-THE state de-
partment received the following dis
patch from it's agent at Gibraltar:
Charles ", Pelayo, Rapiolo, Patriots,
laio Colon, with the minister on board; AL
fonso Doce, Canadonga, Antonio Lopez,
Isla Panos. Buenos Ayres and San Francisco
left Cadiz yesterday. First eleven passed
the Rock bound for Carthagena for orders;
last three troops on board.
This is Admiral Camara's Cadiz
squadron and appears to be in the
Mediterranean bound for African
shores. 1t is being narrowly
watched, although the naval view is
not similar to that taken by the army
officers. The former do not attach as
much Importance to this fleet as the
latter and few of the officers can be
found to believe that the ships will ven-
ture far from the Spanish coast much
less attempt 10 cross the Atlantic or
go to the Philippines. The list of ves-
sells in this fleet is rather formidable
in sound, but as matter of fact 1t
includes not more than two up-to-date
modern war vessels, excepting the
small torpedo gunboats. 1t is the
opinion of the naval officers here that
if Dewey had the Monterey with him
he would have no difficulty in repuls-
ing the whole Spanish force, while the
Cadiz fleet would only afford pastime
for SIMPSONS steel bulldogs.

The Vaughan Hearing,

The hearing in the Vaughan case will
be resumed at 8 o'clock this afternoon
and will doubtless be well attended, as
the interest in it is growing. Much un-
favorable comment has been made on
the fact that the evidence shows that
Mrs. Vaughan, while carrying on a
business claimed to be necessary and
legitimate, should be so far oblivious to
propriety and decency as to help attach
to unfortunates born in her house the
name of one of New Haven's most use
full and respected citizens, and it is
also asked what kind of aiders and
abettors she had in this proceeding,
which is generally regarded as impu-
dent and shameless. Another question
which has been reopened by the pres
ent hearing is why the board of health,
when it granted Mrs. Vaughan her Ii
cense, did not give public hearing, as
is customary in cases Of that kind.

CAN CONCENTRATE O0OMEN
WHAT CAPTAIN CONTE SAYS or
GENERAL GOMEZ.
The Former Now at Cuban Headquar-
ters In New York-Left General Gomez
Mt La vi1las-Given Sufficient Supply
ofArms the General Can Gather 80, 900
Men Around Havana.

New York, June 17.-Captain Rafael
Conte of the Cuban army arrived at
the headquarters Of the Cuban junta
to-day with dispatches from General
Gomez. Captain Conte left Gomez iii
Las Villas. The captain says that the
general then had with him body
guard of only sixty men. Gomez has
all arrangements made for the concen-
tration Of troops when the proper time
comes, but keeps them scattered and
employed In a guerilla warfare in the
meantime, so that they may find food.
The captain claims that Gomez can
concentrate thirty thousand armed men
in a short time at any point. Given
sufficient supply Of arms, it is said that
Gomez can gather fifty thousand men
around Havana.
In skirmish with guerillas about
three weeks ago Gomez was wounded
in the left arm by Mauser bullet. The
wound healed quickly, however, and the
old chief was able to use his arm as
we'll as before he was hit. Gomez is
now especially desirous of receiving
arms and food. 1t is understood that
definite plan for the cooperation of
the troops under Gomez with the Unit
ed States troops has been arranged.
Captain Conte says that from informa-
tion received from Gomez spies it ii
known that in all the garrison towns
held by the Spaniards sickness Is MAX
ing great ravages among the troops.
The hospitals in Havana are over
crowded with sick and the number or
dead increases every day. The coal
supply of Havana is said to be nearly
exhausted.

GEN. MILES In WASHINGTON
HAS INSPIRING EFFECT ON THE
WAR PREPARATIONS,

Little Likelihood That n Second Expe-
dition of 5000 Men Will be Sent to
Reinforce shafter i'm u Few Days-The
Main Consideration Now is Great
Expedition to Porto Rico-Whnt
Miles Says.
Washington, June 17--The return of
General Miles to Washington from
Tampa to-day had an inspiring effect
upon the war preparations. The gem
eral had busy day, calling upon Sec
retary Alger, consulting the chiefs of
staff and giving the department the
benefit of his observations at Tampa.
General Miles is yet to have a confer
ence with the president In the mean
time the plans are moving forward
steadily for sending further expeditions
both to Porto Rico and Cuba, There is
little likelihood that a second eXpedi-
ton of 5000 men to reinforce General
Shafter will leave in a few days. The
necessity of sending these additional
forces is questioned by high military
officials, and, moreover, the means OF
transporting such force are not avail
able.
The main consideration is the equip
ment of an expedition of greater dl-
mensions than any heretofore discuss
ed. with Porto Rico as the objective
point. A month ago the military au-
thorities were saying that small force
would be sufficient to occupy Porto
Rico, as the Spanish force there did not
exceed 5,000 Now they have been re-
inforced and the harbor defenses made
stronger. Moreover, the officials were
satisfied, on learning to-day that the
Cadiz fleet had sailed, that the ships
would go to Porto Rico rather than to
Cuba, If they crossed to this side. 1t
was pointed out that this move would
be the natural strategic one for the
Spanish commanders to make, as there
was still something left for them to
save in Porto Rico.
General Miles would speak only In the
| most general way as to prospective
| army movements. When asked as to
recent reports that large bodies of
troops were about to be concentrated
at Florida points with view to start
| ing further armies OF invasion to Cuba,
Porto Rico and elsewhere, he said:
The military campaign is proceeding
steadily toward It's complete execution.
| The sending of one expedition or anoth-
er is but detail, a single part of a
general plan Of campaign. Of course
| it is more or less right to say that
| troops are about to be forwarded and
| the expeditions will be equipped and
sent. That almost goes without say
| ing, for when we entered upon the war
an aggressive campaign was formulat-
| ed and approved which contemplated
the sending of expeditions and their
| cooperation toward the successful
prosecution of the war. Just when
these expeditions will move and how
many men will accompany them 1t is
not desirable to say now, but 1t Is suff1-
cient to state that the campaign now
entered upon is to be prosecuted with
the utmost vigor until the end of the
war;"

Havana, June ia letter from a
correspondent at Holguin, province Of
Santiago de Cuba, says severe en-
gagement has taken place between the
insurgents near Fray Benito, during
which the latter are said to have left
five men killed. The dead are report
ed to have been removd to the town in
order to be identified and so that the
remains might be accorded Christian
burial. The local Spanish forces, it is
admitted, had captain and four guer-
iallas killed The insurgents subse-
quently attacked the same town, but
are alleged to have been repulsed with
the loss of twelve men killed. 1t is Of
f1cially announced that a column of
Spanish troops which has been operat-
ing in the vicinity of Marcedes, San
Ramon, Eurebo and Couano, province
of Puerto Principe, has been engaged

Port au Prince, Hayti, June 1.-THE
facts in the story of the so-called
revolution here are as follows: A
drunken man was found rolling in q
street with a revolver In his hand. He
was shouting "Vive Larevolution," or
in other words cheering for a revolu-
tion. The local authorities were noti-
fed, the man was arrested and was
promptly shot. There has been no
other incident of a revolutionary ma
ture in this city recently. The town is
absolutely quiet.
On the other hand, news received
here from Santo Domingo is contradict
tory. Some people say that the whole
country is in arms and that President
! Heureaux is in flight, while others as
sert that the president is master of
the situation. He is said to be at
Santo Domingo or Monte Cristi The
Independence left here yesterday for

ON THE THAMES,
Work of the Crews-Harvnrd Takes Last
Time Row.

Time Row.
Gales Ferry, Conn, June 17.-But lit
tie work was done by either of Yales
crews to-day. The freshmen who had
been to New Haven to take examina-
tions did not return until 2 p. m. and
it was p. m. before they went out in
their shell for practice spin. They
went over the two mile course and
Coach Rodgers again had the advant-
age Of accompanying the men in the
launch. They came ashore at 7:10 and
then the varsity crew came from their
quarters and entered to Davy shell.
They did not work. however, as they
were simply trying a new set Of oars
that had been received from Donahue
of Newburgh, N. Y, and did not row
over the course. The men rowed to-
night only to ascertain what trimming
or arranging of the oars might be nec-
essary.
Harvard.
The Harvard varsity crew took its
last time row before the big race this
evening and though Coach Lehman or
Captain Perkins refused to state how
fast the two miles that were rowed
were made there was evidenced a feel
ing Of satisfaction that augurs most
favorably. The crew rowed down the
course for two miles padding easily,
but the row back was hard and was
the last hard work the crew will be
given before the race. From this forth
until the great event Is over the men
will be worked only sufficient to keep
them In condition. Herman at second,
who was put In on account Of the ILL
ness of Blake, will receive considerable
individual attention and though he is a
very strong man and in splendid ply
steal condition his work Is yet sone-
was slow and Is not yet up to racing
form. Mr.. Lehman was assisted in
coaching this evening by J. ]. Storrow,
a Harvard oarsman Of 'S5, while H. E..
Loring SO, who was a member Of the
Harvard crew that went over to Eng
land also viewed the work Of the, men.
Cornell.
Both the Cornell crews entered their
shells for short practice spurts at 6:15
tonight, not having a satisfactory
launch to coach the men on long pull.
Both crews are being coached by
Courtney and therefore they are on the
water at the same time. The work CT
coaching both crews Is no easy under
taking for Mr.. Courtney, but he enters
in it with such zeal and Is receiving
such cooperation from the men that
his labors apparently do not affect him.
The men were on the water less than
an hour as the fog and the threatened
approach of a southest storm obliged
the men to return to their quarters. If
the storm developes it is liable to in
terfere with the practice for a few
days.
