Suburban DAY.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-This is Sur
burban day and the Coney Island
Jockey Club at Sheepshead Bay could
not have been favored with better
weather for the opening of their track.
What Derby day is to England, Sur
burban day is to this country, for while
there are many three-year-old stakes
run off on the various tracks in the
United States, none of them attains
anywhere near the importance of the
Suburban. The course is little deep
as there has been no rain for some time,
but the grass track is in fine condition.
The winner of the Brooklyn handicap.

selected by many as the horse most
likely to get second place, although Imp,
Ogden, Don dor, Semper Ego and

and Peep o'Day was by no means ne
elected in the selection. The Suburban

year old and upwards. The winner to
receive 81 900, the second $4,000, and
the third 81 900.

RECENT experiments near Newport
News prove that the mines which have
been planted there at great expense
are ineffective even when exploded
under the most favorable conditions. As
it has also been proved that steamboats,
passing over them, drag them up by the
dozen with impuDity, and, besides, as
Spain has no ships with which to threat
en- the ports of this country, it seems
that the mines that now obstruct all
American harbors had better be remov-
moved and sold to the junk dealers,
and the unnecessary expense of plant
ing them be put on the profit and loss

ally shot and instantly killed by her
brother, Perkins ellis, a lad of about
fifteen years of age. The young man
had been out hunting all the afternoon,
and on returning home placed his gun,
which is single barrel breech loader,
in the corner of his mothers sitting
room. The girl at the time was seated
in chair near window, looking out
into the yard. In some inexplicable
way the gun was jerked to the floor,
striking the hard wood with consider.
able force. 1t is supposed that the
hammer came in contact with the floor,
for there was an instant explosion. The
load took effect in the girls head, and,
owing to her proximity to the muzzle
of the weapon, the wound Inflicted was
of fearful character and produced in
slant death. She fell from the chair
with crash and without uttering
word.

SATURDAY EVENING, J0NE Is, 1898

SOME Northern people say the propos-

bv the South. These people were
never more mistaken in all their lives
Such q return soon after the close OF
the war might have been looked upon
as magnauimous, and might have been
accepted with gratitude, but all mag
nanlmity and gratitude in respect OF ii

as the majority of the people OF the
South are concerned, it is now matter
of complete indifference wheth-
or the flags be returned or not, especl-

A Brush with the Spaniards.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Friday,
June ia brush between some Span
ish troops and accommodating party,
in steam cutters, occurred at day
light this morning in small cove west
of Moro Castle. The Massachusetts
steam cutter in charge of Lieutenant
Harlow, entered the cove to take
soundings and reconnoitre. When
we'll inside the inlet a detachment OF
Spanish infantry opened fire upon the
cutter from block house. The fire
was vigorously returned by the marines
in the Massachusetts boat and also by
marines who were in the New York's
cntter, which was In charge of Naval
Cadet Powell, and which had followed
in. The New York's cutter was hit ten
times and a marine had the stock OF
his rifle shattered, but no one was
hit. The Texas opened fire with her
six Founders on the hillside and the
Vixen steamed right iuto the cove and
peppered the blockhouse with her rapid
firing guns. Eventually, the Spaniards
rstreated to the woods and the two
steam cutters withdrew. The Yankee
arrived here yesterday and Captain
Brownson reported that on Monday
last, while off Cienfuegos, q Spanish gun
boat came out to-meet the Yankee,
evidently mistaking her for merchant
vessel. The Spaniard, however, soon
saw his mistake. turned tail and opened
fire, which was hotly returned by the
Yankee. The latter chased the gum
boat until the Spaniard took refuge in
the harbor, whose forts opened fire on
the American vessel. Thereupon the
Yankee engaged the eastern and west
ern batteries. During the engagement
Spanish shell burst over the Yankee
and falling fragment struck a lands
man named Kennedy, inhicting severe
flesh wound on his RICH shoulder. The
Spanish gunboat chased by the Yankee
was of about 500 tons and 200 feet long
The naval reserves who man the
Yankee fought well.
