The Cincinnati Tournament.

The storm center Of whist has been over
Cincinnati the past week. The first meet
Ing of the Ohio Auxiliary Association took
place last Friday and Saturday. 1t eclips-
ed any similar event held by a newly form
ed association. and compared favorably
with any A. w. L. congress.
THE Cincinnati whisters,' says Tracey
Barnes of the Toledo Blade, "outdid them
selves In preparation; not detail was
spared"
The contests were played at the Grand
HOTEL where all outside whist players
stopped. The attendance was large, over
100 whist players taking part in the cham
pionship and open events. Distinguished
visitors were present from New York,
Chicago. Toledo. Cleveland. Dayton, Co.
lumbus, Bucyrus, Marion and other cities.
The Toledo players captured the state
championship for tours. In the open con-
tests the Toledo ladies distinguished them
selves. Mrs. c. Bond Lloyd. with John T.
Mitchell of Chicago for a partner, made
the highest score, with plus of twelve
tricks. Mrs. w. H. Harrison. with Colonel
Burlington of New York for a partner was
close second. The play of women whist
ers is new feature at the different whist
congresses. and it is not only source of
pleasure to have them partners, but an
encouragement to the men, to note the
lapld advancement they have made in the
game.
Whist of this month has the picture of
Mrs. Henry E. Waterman the wife of Cap
tain Waterman of the L. S. Engineer
Corps. She is one of the ablest women
players in the country. She learned the
game in Milwaukee, where she and Miss
Bessie Allen were taught together. wo-
man of noted intellectual ability, she has
fully verified the high anticipation formed
of her whist proves. AT Putin Bay she
was guest of Mrs. Clarence Brown, and
was one of the team which defeated the
trophy winners. At the BROOKLYN Whist
Club, with Mrs. Baker as a partner she
made the highest score.

StnIIings Signs u Contract.

George Stallings yesterday signed a con-
tract to manage the Philadelphia base ball
team the coming season. His contract for
last year ran cut during Christmas week,
but as he had previously been assured of
again holding the reins in '9s, he was not
in any hurry to put his signature to the
Lew one.
Contracts have been sent out to all the
players on the list and they total thirty
six. Several have been signed and return
ed, while few have made any objection
thus far to the terms or the price named
for salary.

Gently offered a franchise in the Western
League, and was anxious to take it. but
the Boston club refused to release him
from his promise. Such is the story pub

On his return from the California trip,
so the story goes, Selee had several confer
ences with President Ban johnson, who
made him the offer of the eighth franchise
in the Western League. the club to be
placed in Omaha. Selee was delighted, and
went to Omaha at once, where he Is well
known and can get plenty of backing. He
then went to Boston to get released from
his verbal promise to manage the Boston
team next season. President Soden held
him to his promise, and Selee had to give
up his idea of becoming '.magnate," at
least for time. Selee certainly lost q
great chance, as Western League fran
chise in good city and in the hands of an
able manager like Selee is a valuable piece

Yale Students to Decide.
Regarding the meeting held by the Cor

night to consider Yale's rowing challenge

said that an answer had not yet been re-
ceived by the rowing authorities at Yale.
and that II the report that Cornell would
ask for a race in 1899 were correct he could
not say whether Yale would agree TO that
or not. He intimated that the general SEN
timent of the under graduates would be
considered before making a decision in the
matter. A prominent graduate of Iale eX-
pressed the opinion that an acceptance Of
Yale's challenge by Cornell without any
conditions imposed by the latter in regard

CONFLICT CLOSED
IN PORTO RICO
Spaniards Receive Notice of the End of
the Fighting-Fears are Expressed
that Spaniards May TerrOrize the
Natives During Period of Nego-
tiatiOns.

PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. 15.-On Sat-
urday General Miles notified General
Macias, at San Juan, by cable of the
signing of the protocol, and today he
received from Macias an acknowledge
ment of the receipt of the notification.
General Miles also sent Captain Mick
Ter, under flag of truce, to communi-
cate the intelligence to the Spanish
commander at Aibonito.
General Miles says Albonito would
have been his within four days, had not
the protocol been signed.
General Miles is uncertain whether he
will remain here during the period of
the negotiations for the peace, but the
four army columns will remain where
they are until the negotiations are COM
pleted.
Fears are expressed by the natives
that during the period of the treaty me-
gotiations the Spanish troops may be
given free license within their lines to
terrorize the inhabitants. If it should
be the case, Miles says the Americans
would be powerless to interfere.

sault upon the city. 1t was known that
General Merritt was only awaiting these
reinforcements to demand its surrender
and to give notice of naval bomb bard
ment.
Under the circumstances every pre-
caution was taken last Friday to inform
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt
with the least possible delay of the in
formal signing of the protocol and the
suspension of hostilities.
Secretary Alger is confident that the
Spanish general will welcome the news
and cheerfully obey the instructions ca
bled to him from Madrid to lay down
his arms, and mo serious complication
is expected to arise with the insurgents
at present. The chief alarm relates to
the sacrifice of life which may have
taken place since August 9Th, and to the
possibility that Agninaldo and his SOL
diers may have entered the city from
point on the north while the Spaniards
were fighting with the Americans on
the south. In that CAGE it is feared
wholesale slaughter may have taken
place and much valuable property have
been destroyed.

Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.

The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $4,000. an amount al
most equal to the Indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason
warrant has been attached to each de-
hnquent roll mmanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bouutiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea-
sonable excuse for the non-psyment of
taxes. The sheriff Is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls ior the collec-
ton thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent Taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes st once.

PERCY WING
IS DROWNED
A WashOugal Teacher Loses Her Life
Amid the Breakers at Seaside, on
ClatsOp Beach.

SEASIDE, Or, Aug. 15.-Miss Percy
Wing, a young lady about 20 years old,
and teacher in Washougal schools, was
today at IL o'clock bathing with crowd
in front of Grimes hotel when the un.
dertow carried her out beyond the help
of her companions, and she was
drowned.
Frank Russell, son of q wealthy Clark
county fruitgrower, to whom Mics Wing
was engaged, went half mile for boat,
and although this took half an hour,
succeeded in reaching her before che
sank. Drs. o. B. Estes. of Astoria, and
II. R. Littlefield, of Portland. after
working on the unconscious form for
about two hours, gave her up. Young
Russell and his friends worked half an
hour longer before they realized that she
was beyond help. Russell, who recently
returned from Skagway, expected soon
to marry Miss Wing, and is beside him
self with grief.
The deceased leaves widowed moth
er, with whom she was camping here in
the grove.
From the fact that the body did not
sink for nearly half an hour, DIR. Estes
expresses the opinion that Miss Wing
died from heart shock and not from
drowning. The body will be shipped to
Washougal for burial.
