NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 12-The New
York Yacht Club squadron rides at anchor
in the harbor tonight and the cruise of
1899 is al an end During the cruise to-day
of twenty-five miles from New Bedford
the wind held on longer than yesterday.
but the yachts ran into soft spots, and
five miles from the finish the entire fleet
was becalmed for a half hour.
The Columbia kept up her record of vic
tories this week, not only leading all the
Yachts over the line, but defeating the
defender 19 minutes and 4 seconds. elapsed
time The actual distance between the
boats was less than two miles, for the old
boat came up very slowly in the light ali :,
besides being somewhat delayed by a short
luffing match with the schooner Colonia,
which finished about the same time. The
Columbia's victory was nevertheless per-
fectly legitimate. and she showed herself
a marvel in light weather.
The wind was light throughout, and at
one time failed altogether, but it treated
both boats alike, barring short spell Just
before the finish, when the Columbia
caught the breeze a few minutes before
her rival.

English Worried Over the Absence

London, Nov. 3.-The brevity of the
news from Ladysmth since Tuesday
night has not relieved the anxiety pre-
vailing regarding the position OF the
British there. The war office has no in

which ought to be able to defend it and
prevent its destruction If the Beers
succeeded in destroying this bridge it
would mean the interruption of rail-
road communication with Ladysmith
for an indefinite period. While the all
legged Boer attempts in this direction
are not confirmed, it is claimed that
they may be expected momentarily
and the reported steady shelling of
Ladysmith, it is added, points to the
intention of the Boer commanders 10

REPORTS DIScREDITED.
stories of Beer victories Denied by
british Mnr Office.

London, Nov. S.--In the present state
of popular tension in England and just
at this juncture OF the campaign it
seems particularly unfortunate that
cable communication With South Africa
should become disorganized. 1t appears
also that there is trouble on the tele-
graph line from Durham to Ladysmith,
communication with the besieged town
having been interrupted since 2:30 yes
terday afternoon.
The Havas agency declares that its
correspondent at Brussels has received
news that the Durham railway and tele-
graph line is in the hands of the Beers;
that Gen. White was defeated In the
second engagement before Ladysmith,
losing $50 men. killed. wounded and
prisoners; that Cen. Lucas Meyer, COM
manding the Orange Free Staters, has
seized Colenso and is master of the cap
ital of Natal, PietermaritZburg, thus
cutting off the line of retreat of Gem
White, who is wounded.
The same alleged dispatch declares
that the Beers have seized Colesburg.
just south of Orange river, on the Pre-
toria- Cape Town railway, that they
closely invest Mafeking, have repelled
all Col Baden-P Powell's sorties and mo-
mentarily expect the surrender of the
town.
All this the war office categorically
denies. pointing out that Brussels,
whence the story comes, is DIR. Leydst
HEADQUARTERS, and suggesting that the
report may be an exaggerated Boer ver-
sion of the recent engagement. The pes
simistic are inclined to consider this an
admission that the Transvaalers are in
communication with their European
agents. but when one considers the fact
that the east coast cable is not working
that the British censor at Alden would
control 1t if it were in order and that
the Cape Town censorship is absolute.
this Havas report must be received
with incredulity.
The government goes further than
merely to deny the Havas report II
makes public dispatch which reached
the war office yesterday morning telling
of the wounding of Naval Lieut.. Eyer
ton of H. NJ S. Powerful, whose left
knee and right foot We're shattered by a
shell. The implication is that the bonn
bardment is still progressing. While a
later dispatch is still unpublished, it is
understood to convey the news that
Gen. White is still holding the position
in good shape.
1t is not to be forgotten that the alb
sence of dispatches from correspond
ents is far from implying British disas-
ter With only one cable working, the
government may very properly refuse
to have the wires numbered with news
paper matter, in view of the fact that it
is giving out just as full news of mill
tary movements as the necessities of
war permit. The government would far
rather make public news of actions
past. though they may have resulted in
reverse or defeat, than to permit the
throwing nj any light on its strategic
plans.

CROKER PASSES. THE LIE.
Chairman Mnzct Challenged and Re
fuses to Make Reply.

Chairman Mazet Challenged and Re-
fuses to Make Reply.
New York, Nov. 3.-Richard Croker,
Tammany leader, appeared before the
legislative committee investigating the
government of the city today. He de-
MED the statement made by Chairman
Mazet In a political speech few days
ago to the effect that Croker offered to
Withdraw opposition to certain gas
franchise legislation under consldera-
tion at Albany, provided the company
in whose interest it was being enacted
would buy Croker's stock in the opposi-
tion company. Croker's denial was all
lowed, at least for the time being to
pass unchallenged, Mazet neither cross
examining him nor making a counter
statement, though Croker challenged
him to take the stand and repeat what
he had said. After Croker left the room
Mazet gave ont a statement to the ef-
feet that this was not the place to set
tie question which was between them
individually; that what he said on the
stump he said not of his own know
ledge, but on good authority; that
Croker was at liberty to sue him for
criminal libel, with the assistance of a
friendly prosecuting attorney.

intelligence need necessarily indicate
anything but anxiety on the part of the
Beers to make the best use of their
siege artillery and the readiness of our
naval gunners to join them in the game
of long bowls.
Speaking broadly, the main interest
in the situation is comprised in one
question:
Can Gen. White hold out for ten
days or fortnight?
If he can, there is little need OF fur
ther apprehension. And from all the
information available there seems to be
every reason to hope successful re-
sistance can be maintained to the Boer
assault upon Ladysmith Even if sue
cessful, the assault should cost the at
tackers from 5000 to 1000 men, and this
is risk which they hardly will be like
ly to run. The Boer hopes, too, of a
bombardment at long range. to which
the British artillery could not effective
ly reply, have been rudely frustrated by
the performance of the British naval
guns, already referred to.
1T is clear the situation is one of
gravity and some danger, but in the alb
sence of definite news there is no occa-
soin to be over anxious"

CAN WHITE HOLD OUT.
Views of Military Expert on staff OF
London Times.

London. Nov. 3.-The military expert
of the London Times in his editorial
summary of the Transvaal yesterday
morning draws the following deduc-
tions:
'The announcement that teegraphic
communication with Ladysmith has
ceased comes as no surprise, in view of
the disaster which befell the detached
column on Monday. III the results of
the fighting on that day had been en-
tirely satisfactory, and the Beers had
been pressed back with heavy loss on
their laagers without securing any
compensatory advantages they might
we'll have hesitated to risk the flank
movement necessary to enable them to
cut the telegraph wire south of Lady
smith. But, flushed with the success of
capturing Col. Carleton's column, they
would naturally be emboldened to at
tempt the severance of telegraphic
communication. knowing. moreover,
that Gen. White would probably take
less active measures to prevent them
than if he had won all along the line on
Monday.
"Doubtless the railway line from
Ladysmith as far as Colenso, fifteen
miles south. has been patrolled with an
armored train, but this alone would
be no security against the cutting of
the wire. The latter may have been
accomplished by a small party, such as
would prefer to keep we'll out of the
armored trains range of observation.
"It does not therefore follow, in spite
of the circumstantial French rumor in
last nights Liberte. in which the hand
of Leyds is discernible, that any consid-
erable force Of Beers is at present
south of Ladysmith, or that Gen. White
has been effectually isolated. 1t will be
seen by the telegram from the Times
correspondent at Cape Town and the
official dispatch from Ladysmith this
morning that there have been further
artillery duels, in one of which naval
officer was badly wounded. But neither

Jenrics Mother Anxious.

Los Angeles. Cal, Nov. 3.-"Do i

said the mother of James j. Jeffries,
champion pugilist of the world. "A

true, but have known men who stood
high in the church do things worse than
James has ever done Oh yes. of course
] want him to succeed. Any mother
would, would she not?"
The pugilist has three sisters, Mrs.
Southwick, Mrs. Boyer and one who Is
single and probably not yet out of her
teens. Miss Jeffries is a pretty girl,
with a rich complexion and bright
brown eyes. There are three boys at
home also, and there is no doubt that
the entire family, including Rev. Mr..
Jeffries himself wants to see James
knock Sharkey out. 1t is Mrs. Boyer,
however, who speaks in the most low
Ing terms of the worlds champion
prize fighter.
We have been expecting a letter all
day." she said as she glanced eagerly
down the winding road over which a
postman might be expected to come.
I'VE live so far out that 1t takes n letter
long to reach us, you know. 1t must
be that the letter has only been de-
layed. 1 am sure the boys-you know
Jack is with Jim-are both we'll and we
must certainly get the letter tonight -
Thus the sister sought to reassure
herself and to allay the fear that some
thing might be wrong and James j.
Jeffries after all lose the fight.
Mrs. Boyer does not mind saying that
she hopes her brother will come out
ahead, and there is little doubt that the
entire family, including the preacher
father. are praying for that result. She
agrees with her mother that the prize
fighter Is a good boy-better, much bet
ter than many young men who would
not own that they are interested in a
prize fight.
