however, the belt by which he was
held broke just as he was inverting his
tube, and he shot like stone to the
ground outside the fair enclosure. When
picked up he was dead. Five thousand
persons saw the accident. Crissey was

SELF-GOVERNMENT FOR CUBA.
President McKinley's proclamation
addressed to the Cuban people was re.
ceived by mail at Havana yesterday
and was made public by Governor Gen
eral Brooke. The document, which is
dated August II, says:
This disorganized condition of your
island. resulting from the war and the
absence OF any generally organized au-
lhority, aside from the temporary mill
tary control of the United States, has
made it necessary that the United
States should follow the restoration of
order and peaceful industry by giving
its assistance and supervision to the
successive steps by which you will pro.
coed to the establishment of an efiec.
tive system of self,government.
LAS a preliminary step in the per-
formance of this duty I have directed
that cencus of the people of Cuba
be taken, and have appointed comps-
tent and disinterested citizens OF Cuba
as enumerators and supervisors.
ut is important for the proper ar
rangements of your new government
that the information sought be fully
and accurately given, and | request
that by every means in your power you
aid the officers appointed in the per-
formance of their duties"

COLUMBIA WINS.
New Cup Defender Proves Herself
Speedier Than Her Opponent,
the Defender.

New York, July Over triangular
course of 80 miles in comparatively
light winds the new lselin-Morgan
yacht Columbia Thursday vanquished
the Vanderbilt yacht Defender and
convinced the yachtsmen who saw the
royal struggle that she is worthy of de-
Tending the precious trophy which Sir
Thomas Upton and his merry tars hope
TO take back with them in the Sham
rock next fall. The Columbia's fore
staysail and club topsail are anything
but perfect and cracked in the wind
like teams ter's whip. demonstrating
that in a general way she will need a
good deal of tuning up. Yet, based
upon the showing she made as better
boat than the Defender under adverse
conditions, the nautical sharps are
strongly convinced that Sir Thomas
will sail home without the silver mug,
the possession of which has given US
the yachting supremacy of the world
since 1851.
The Columbia won the race by a mar
gin of three minutes fifty-three sec
ons unofficial time). There is no
doubt she would have won by larger
margin if her sails had fitted as well
as the Defenders.
