MICHAEL WON.
The Welsh Wonder Defeats Linton in
twenty-five Nile Race.

New York, July 23-Jimmy Michael
today defeated Tom Linton at the Man
haitian Beach cycle track in 25 mile
paced race in the presence of more than
10, 0oO persons. Michael was the favorite
IN the betting, odds of 100 to so being
freely laid on his chances. There was
plenty OF Linton money, however, and in
the history of cycling there has never
been such large amount wagered on q
contest. Each man received an ovation
when he appeared on the track. There
was very little wind and everything ia.
vored an excellent race. However, no rec.
ords were broken or even euualled
Michael was the first away when the mis-
toI was fired and assumed the lead in the
first DO yards. Before he had gone 2OO
yards chain broke ON his pacing ma
chino and the riders were recalled to the
starting point.
| Michael's men were the quicker to get
off and he took the lead. For the first
five miles there was no change in the po-
sition of the competitors and at no time
was there a space of ten yards between
them. In the seventh mile Michael made
squirt and opened up gap of 40 yards.
The pace was then very hot. In the
tenth mile Linton passed Michael, but
only held the lead for quarter of a lap,
| when Michael passed him again.
| In the Goth mile Linton made a won
derful effort and overlook Michael in
the second lap Of that mile. In the last
lap Linton's men swung out and flew
past Michael amid defening cheers. Lin
ton maintained his advantage for nearly
mile until he lost his pace makers.
michael, who was then riding like a
demon, passed his opponent and Linton
was soon 200 yards in the rear. Linton
pedalled harder than ever before. but
Michael had assumed too great lead to
cut down.
IN the last mile Michael at one time
was nearly half lap ahead, but Linton
reduced this to less than 200 yards in the
nnai lap. Michael crossed the tame a
winner by 10 yards. 1t was an excellent
race from the 10th mile In addition to
0ne Dig race there were TWO amateur and
TWO professional events. The half mile
L. A. W. national championship for pro-
lesslonals was won by o. L. Stevens of
Ottumwa, Ia.
Inc two-mile professional handicap was
captured by Gardiner, who beat Major
Tayor by length and a half and estab
| lished new worlds record for the dis
tance under handicap conditions, as he
covered the two miles in AIS 4-6 The
summary:
Twenty-Five mile paced race between
James Michael of America and Tom
Linton of Wales:

THE TAKING OF NIPE.
An Impo, tant Move on the Part of the
Americans.

Washington, July 2S.-Rear Admiral
Sampson officially reported to the Navy
Department yesterday the capture Of
Nipe, Cuba, and the consequent transfer
to American control of most importan,
strategic point on the northeastern coast
of Cuba.
As originally determined, Nipe was tc
be the point of rendezvous for the several
military detachlnents which would have
made up the army of invasion intended
for operations against the Spanish force
in Porto Rico. In the future it will be
used as base Of supplies, for the army
and navy, harbor of refuge for war and
transport ships, and a base of operations
against the Spanish force remaining in
the province of Santiago de Cuba.
This is Rear Admiral SIMPSONS de-
spatoh announcing tho result of the expe-
dition: "The expedition to Nipe has
been entirely successful, although the
mines have not been removed. The Span.
ish cruiser Jorge Juan, defending the
place, was destroyed, without loss to our
side. The Annapolis and Wasp afterward
proceeded to assist in the landing of the
commanding general of the army and
troops upon arrival at Porto Rico.''
Nipe is directly to the porth of Santiago
on the north coast of the island. The
bay OF the same name is a magnificent
anchorage for ships. being sheltered on
all sides by peninsulas, which almost
meet, the channel leading into the bay
being very narrow. Thsre is plenty of
water in the bay to accommodate vessels
of the blockading squadron, transports.
golfers and supply ships. The bay of
Nipe is thirty-two miles distant from
Holguin, where q considerable body of
Spanish soldiers are stationed. 1t was to
this point that General Toral desired to
retire in reply TO General Skaters de.
mands that the city OF Santiago
capitulate. 1t was from this point also
that General Toral expected reinforce
ments. 1t is not expected that any i'm
mediate efforts will be MAIDS to destroy
the Spanish forces at Hoiguin, as the
government will bend all its presen +
efforts to the subjugation IF the Spanish
force in Porto Rico.
Key West, Fla, July 90. 9 a. m.-The
gunboats Topeka, Annapolis. Wasp, Lew
den, silenced the Spanish fertilization in
Nipe bay on the northern coast of the
province of Santiago do Cuba, on Thurs
day, and sank the Spanish gunboat Jorge
Juan which lay in the harbor. Her crew
escaped in small boats. under heavy fire
from the Leyden. The foar ships mon
toned. which had entered under orders
from Rear Admiral Sampson, pounde
the forts for an hour, when the Snanish
flag was hauled down. The Americans
did not lose man, but the Spanish loss
must have been heavy.
The cruiser Jorge Juan, which was
DESTROYED by the American ships. had a
displacemenS O nineey.thr tons. Her
Pallister breech- loading rifles. two
9. 9-inch Krupp breech loading rifles. and
two machine guns, and her Compliments
