MISHAP TO
OLD defender.
Ha|yards Parted Allowing Club
topsaII Pole to Fall.
RIPPED THROUGH THE DECK,
The Grew, Warned BY the Sound of Ripping,
Rushed Att 10 Place Of Safety.
POLE WAS FIRMLY FIXED IN THE DECK
Had 10 Be Sawed Before Il Could Be Removed.
New Mansa Ruined and Another
Will Have 10 Be Made.

The Defender had an accident at
Newport yesterday. probably the most
serious one in her brief but eYentfuI
history. Fortunately, however, IL did
not occur in race and will cost moth
ing but few days delay in her tuning
up.
The Defenders lower sails and rig
ging having worked so we'll on Monday
w. Butler Duncan, Jr., who has charge
of the yacht, decided To go outside for
a-test of the topsails and for drill for
the crew.
Mr.. Duncan went aboard at 10:30 and
at l0:55 the Defender made out back of
Fort Adams. The wind blew a good
breeze from the southwest for a while,
but later IL was variable and squally.
it was beat out and the Defender
seemed TO work as We'll and as smooth
ly IN stays as or old. The Canoncut
shore having been reached, a starboard
tack was made TO Beaver Tail and
thence the course was laid for the light
ship.
The Defender behaved well under
fitful weather conditions, and about
noon Mr.. Duncan decided To have the
club topsail run up. 1t was the first
time IL had been set and the rigging
was very stiff. The club swung aloft
the mast somewhat and caught. a
half dozen seamen sprang up and re-
leased IL. and il was slowly gotten into
place. The slight hitch. however, had
evidently been sufficient to wear the
halyard. for the rope parted with a
snap.
The pole thus released from it's fast
ening came down with rush, drag
ging and tearing It's sail after IL under
it's great weight. The crew had warn
ing from the ripping and humping and
could only save themselves, which they
did by making for the quarterback
with a dash.
The pole tore it's way through the
mainsail and ripped it's way through
the deck on the port side just abaft
the mast.
When Mr.. Duncan and his men could
collect themselves they found the pole
imbedded I'm the deck for about six
feet and standing up nearly perpendic-
ularly. 1t was firmly fixed, and the
extricating of II seemed a problem till
ii was decided TO sacrifice il and saw
IL off. This was done the Defender
having been luffed and the wind luck
lily having gone down.
Mr.. Duncan decided 10 make for Bris
tol for repairs, and under head sails
only the Defender slowly passed in the
bay through the east passage. The
Defender made headway very slowly
and did not reach Bristol till late in
the afternoon.
Her mainsail can not be mended and
her new one therefore will have to be
bent on. Her club topsail Is also a
wreck.
The breaking OF the halyard can
hardly be accounted for. as it was a
new rope and had been tested. A new
pole will also have to be made. The
repairs to the deck, however, will not
occupy much time.
The pole was about 40 feet i'm length
and 12 inches in circumference.

Ten His Were Secured By The Ponies bul They
Were Well Scattered Standing Of The Clubs
In Tho Eastern League.

The crowd that witnessed the ball
game between the Grays and Spring
field Ponies at Adelaide Park yesterday
afternoon saw very fine contest and
also had the satisfaction OF knowing
that the home team has taken a brace.
1t certainly put up fine article OF ball
and gave the rooters plenty of chance
TO sisplay their lung power. The Gray
backs batted steadily and to good pur-
pose, only one Of the nine men failing
TO find the sphere for at least one safe
hit. On the other hand Braun, although
batted for total of ten, kept the hits
so well scattered that they were run
producing in two innings only
In the first inning Leahy opened with
three e-bagger and crossed the plate
on Walters long fly. The Springfieds
tied the score in the third. McDer-
mott sent a single to center and 1t got
away from Walters, and McDermott
scored on a neat hit by shannon.
In the fourth the Grays punched two
singles, n double and a homer. Lamar
and Cooney raped out singles. Murray
the double. and after Stouch had drawn
called balls and been put out by tho
throw TO second base Braun whacked
the homer over the fence. Lamar
Cooney and Murray had scored before
the homer came by hustling base run
ming. In the fifth Providence scored
one on a hit nv Walters and n wild
throw by the pitcher in a close play to
cut off Nyce at first base.
Springfield got that run back and an
other with IL in the same inning, when
Shannon put grounder TO Nyce,
which he failed TO handle cleanly,
Campbell singled, Phelps banged out
tMa haagLc and BrCutners drove the
ball 10 deep center, scoring Phelps from
third Ease. With two out i'm the sixth
Sraun hit "A two-bagger and scored on
Leahy's single. Leahy tried to score on
two-bagger by Walters and was
thrown out at the plate. Four singles,
sacrifice and misplays by which two
of the singles were made as good as
doubles added three runs 10 the Provi-

The Erup,Ion of NIaunn Lon.

The latest report from the volcano of Mauna
LOa, received at San Francisco Monday by the
way Of Kalieha, is to the effect that great
change took place in the course Of the lava flow
on the night Of July Is. The mighty stream Of
burning lava which was steadily flowing toward
the town Of Hio and threatening its destruction,
has fortunately been diverted IN ITS course so that
the danger to life and property is less imminent
than at the time OF the previous mail advIces
from there Ever since the flow began, July 4.
the course Of the principal stream of lava has
been from the highest active cones down the
mountain nearly due east, past all the sources of
lava. until it reached aud partly crossed the flows

Some time during that night the first part of the
stream, flowing eastward, broke through ITS bank
about half way from its source to where 1t turned
northward and formed a new channel running
northward down the mountain parallel with the
old channel but farther west. This Is carrying the

when there was parade and thousa nds of PEG
Pile welcomed them.
Officers and men are practically uh unanimous in
bitter criticism of Major General Otis. They
declare that he Is incompetent TO conduct sue
cessful military operations against the Filpiuos,
and that none OF them cares 10 fight under him

and all virtually insist that Gen Otis cannot ac-
complish the task
Il don't think you will see any Of us returning

tire regiment re enlisted. Only . remained in

cock are more than lOO wounded so.diers

Of affairs in the Phi ippines.

They do not stand voley firing well, but they are
persistent, and It will be hard to make them lay
down their arms, They know the country and
the jungles so well that they have great ad-
vantage. They fight once in the bush and then
retire, only TO reappear at some other place.
1T will take at least 20 years to entirely pacify
them. The coast cities win probably fall easily
before the American troops, and our forces will
have no difficulty in occupying and holding them;
but back in the mountains there are innumerable
wild tribes who will fight forever, moving from
place TO place as fast as they are driven from
their hiding places"
Capt Talbot said: "Otis as civil governor
may be a success, but as director of military

that he is a failure He has prejudice against
