Three EmsterMers and One Westerner to
Compete Ina Senii Finals.

Lake Forest, ILL.,, July 6.--Three east
ern players and one westerner will con-
test in the semi-tinals tomorrow for
the amateur golf championship. The
games to-day resulted in the defeat of
j. r. Reid, jr, the intercollegiate cham
pion, by w. j. Travis of the Oakley
Country club, Gardner G. Hubbard by
Champion Findlay S. Douglass, IL. M.
Toler by H. M. Hartman and j. G.
Thorp by Charles b. Mcdonald, the
sole survivor of the western golfers.
The scores in the game between Doug
lass and Hubbard and Hartman and
Toler We're rather close. Douglass Win
ming Z UP to 6 to play, While Hartman
won up and 4 to play. Unless the
form displayed by the players to-day
proves deceptive Douglass will contest
in the finals Saturday. He meets w.
j. Travis Tomorrow Douglass was far
from perfect in his form to-day, but his
medal score was better than that of
TRACTS, and the general opinion is that
Douglass will win. AS to who will win
the match between Mcdonald and Har-
played splendid golf to-day. McDon-
AIDS play was perhaps shade the bet
ter. He negotiated the first nine holes
in the afternoon in 80, but fell away
somewhat when Ne had his game ap-
parently won. Harrman's work, how
ever was SO good throughout that the
game tomorrow will probably attract
one of the largest gatherings of the
week. The weather to-day was appar-
entity to the liking of the golfers, and
the sun and wind of yesterday had put
the links in almost perfect condition.
The game between Mcdonald and
Thorp was at times sensational. Time
after time both holed in puts of twenty
feet and over After considerable see
saving Mcdonald took the lead in the
thirteenth hole and thereafter held it.
The afternoon play of both was almost
perfect bogey being beaten on the fifth,
sixth, seventh and ninth holes.

COLUMBIA AGAIN A VICTOR
DEFEATS DEFENDER IN FIRST OF
INFORMAL TRIAL RdCES.
Over Triangular Course of Thirty
Miles the New Sailing Wonder Wins
by Margin of Three Minutes and
Thirty-five Seconds-New Boats Sails
Fitted Badly Also.

New York, July 6.--By the race be-
tween the new cup defender, Columbia,
and the old one, Defender, sailed to-day
over triangular course of thirty miles
ten miles to leg, it has been plainly
demonstrated that no matter how skill
fully constructed yacht may be, her
sailing and ability to so to WindWard
may be killed by imperfectly setting
sails. The Columbia won the race by
a margin of three minutes thirty y-five
seconds (unoficial time). There is no
doubt she would have won by a larger
margin if her sails had fitted as we'll as
the Defenders.
In the Windward work, while the wind
was strong, the Columbia was unable
either to outfoot or outpoint the De-
fender, chiefly on account of the bad set
of her club topsail jib topsail and fore
staysail. She covered the first leg of
ten miles to windward three minutes
faster than the Defender, but one min
ute of that gain was made when the
wind became light and less than two
miles from the turning point
On the second leg the Columbia gained
IS seconds 1t was a reach, both yachts
large (not balloon) jib topsails
On the last leg-close hauled work in
a light breeze-Columbi lost five sec
onds to the Defender, probably by reason
Of a shift of wind which favored the
Defender.

Manila, July z, z a. m.-The Spanish
commissioners who went to Tarlac for
conference with Aguinaldo regarding
the surrender of the Spanish prisoners IN
the hands of the Filipinos returned here
last night. Chairman Del Rio of the COM
mission said the release of all the pris-
oners had been practically arranged for
put 1T would be necessary to consult the
Spanish government before the agree
ment could be ratified He declined ia
give the terms of the arrangement or to
say whether they contemplated d ram
som. He asserted, however, that Aguin-
aldo had already issued decree for the
release of the civilian officials and the
flick soldiers. The commissioners with
the remnant of the Spanish garrison of
Baler on the east coast of I4uzon and o.
number of civilian prisoners were escort
ed by Filipino soldiers from Tarlac to
the American outposts at San Fernando,
and came to Manila by the night train.
The survivors of the long defense Of
Baler, where the Spanish resisted an in
surgent siege for more than a year,
formed picturesque band. Lieutenant
Martin, the only surviving officer,
marched them through the streets.
There are only twenty-five, and most Of
them are mere boys in blue cotton uni-
forms and red shirts. They are bare
Footed. A crowd of Spanish men and
women embraced them, weeping and
shouting their praises. They tell re-
markable story. 1t appears that the
captain several times proposed to sur
render, but the soldiers refused. Final
ly, some months ago, he tried to raise
a white flag. Thereupon Lieutentnt
Martin killed hi mwith his own sword.
Their food supply gave out entirely a
week ago, and they surrendered to the
Filipinos with all the honors of war.
They were allowed to keep their arms
and they say they marched from Baler,
with a Filipino escort and carrying
guns throughout several insurgent
everywhere being cheered and
feted
