The contest in the Third senatorial
district of Sussex county has been de-

win by 16 votes over Elijah ]. Ellis,
Republican.
A peculiar feature OF the recounting
Of the votes cast in Dagsboro hundred
was THE counting out OF seven Demo-

result OF F'arlow's count a single vote.
He had 1913 according to the official
returns OF the election officers, and af-
ter the seven thrown out by the court
he still hah 1913. The only solution Of
fered is that the Judges and inspectors
got the seven votes mixed and they
were placed among the required vote
instead OF among those rejected.
Nine OF the 21 rejected ballots were
counted and this gave the Republicans
Conaway. representative; Warrington
assessor, and Messick, inspector.
The court would not permit a re-

DISTRUST IN SANTIAGO.
Business Men Will Not Invest, Fearing
That the City May Be Turned
Over to the Cubans.

Santiago de Cuba, July a0-A panicky
feeling prevails in business circles here,
owing to fear that the Americans will
turn the city over to the Cubans for
self government No confidence exists,
owing to the uncertainties of the fu-
ture. Orders that were given during
the first days of the American occupa-
ton have been countermanded by cable.
Even European merchandise on
through bills of ladng via New York
has been ordered unshipped and sold in
New York. even at a sacrifice.
The same feeling extends. to the Gu
ban merchants themselves; who seem
to have lost faith in the ability of their
own people to control affairs. The
, rebels demand independence, but the
better classes, the merchants and land
owners, dread such a possibility and
fervently hope that the United States
will retain the reins of government in
the island, as the only guarantee Of
stability and prosperity.
Senor Julian Cendoja. agent of the
Ward line of steamers, says that
hundred Spanish merchants have ap-
Piled for cabin and baggage room on
the return trip of the steamer Phila-
delphia. and they will leave the city
unless there is some assurance from
the American government that 1t in
tends to control the administration of
public affairs in Cuba.
This is the question uppcrmost in
everybody's mind. Spanish, foreigners
and natives are all alike anxious for
a definite expression from Washington
of the policy of the United States with
regard to Cuba and until that express
sion is made no resumption of trade or
commerce can be expected In Santiago.
where today both are in a demoraized
and chaotic state.

that the breaking out of yellow fever

and outpointed his opponent in every
round. Green received a severe ham
mering. and bore with it manfully. He
was wonderfully game, and had no ex-
cuses to offer when the fight was over.
He declared that he was heavier when
he met and defeated Smith at Carson
Immediately after the Fitzsmmons-
Corbett contest. and said that he was
stronger then than now.
