The main object of to-days meeting
was to harmonic the Anglo-American
amateur athletic rules, which vary in
some minor particulars. In order that
the contests may be carried out under
conditions that shall be indisputable, 1t
was agreed that the hurdle races should
be run under American conditions, over
loose, instead of fixed hurdles, and that
each side should follow it's own custom
in hammer throwing. 1t was also
agreed that the high jump should be
taken from the turf in the center of the
grounds, instead of the cinder path
Some minor details with regard to the
long jump We're also adjusted.
The order of events has yet to be ar
ranged. On the American side there
has been no definite choice of the ac-
tual competitors for the hundred-yard
and hurdle races. 1t is possible that
in these cases alternate names may ap-

If superior force deters them before
their object is attained, there is merely
the question of delay.
The revolution will inevitably re-
turn. Nations, like stars, have their
seasons of eclipse, but following their
orbits, they emerge and accomplish
their final destiny. The destiny of Cuba
is only independence. The basic ideas
of the revolution were no mystery, and
therefore synopsis now, which would
really remind us of past suffering and
of incidents only to be recalled with
horror, is unnecessary. Still, we would
return to those dreadful days If it had

We should give due thanks to the

Eventually blacksmith named Tod,

Havana, July 16.-The Banco Espanol,
the largest financial institution in Gu
pa, announced recently a semi-annual
dividend of 3k per cent, payable in
American gold. The Advisador Com
Inerciaia, the leading financial journal,
when processes to be shocked at this
sudden change of policy on the part of
the bank, says:
Its capital is Spanish. Why is not
the dividend made payable in Span

TO please the Americans in order to
gain further banking favors. For no
other reason can we see WHY the hank
did not declare 3.S5k in Spanish gold !"
A prominent banker says the real
reason for the banks action is a. de-
sire to place its capital upon an Amer
lean basis, particularly at present when
Spanish silver is inflated far beyond
justifiable reasons. The authority saws
he considers that it will be only a,
matter of months before silver is re-

before the reduction is accomplished.
1t is understood that for several
weeks the bank has been getting rid
of large deposit of silver and has
consequently made immense profits.

Guard Rails and Planking Prevented a
Fatal Accident.


Redding. Cal, July 16-A bad de-
railment occurred at Blue Cut II
miles south of Delta this morning. The
Southern Pacific passenger train No
was divided into two sections. At
Blue Cut bridge nearly 200 feet long
crosses the Sierra river. AS the first
section ran on the bridge the next
to the last car turned the rail and left
the track. The Pullman also left the
rails, the wheels of both cars cutting
through the wooden ties with the cars
resting on the steel part of the bridge.
The train stopped suddenly. The pas
sengers We're badly Jared and lady
in the Pullman had her knee cut. That
the cars did not topple into the river
is remarkable.
Governor Geer of Oregon and his
party were on the cars which left
the track. They were transferred to
other, coaches as soon as possible.
The mishap will cause a delay of about
six hours to California express train
No. 6. The cause - he derailment
is unknown. The bridge is furnished
with guard rails and pIanking, which
prevented a fatal accident.

II am very sorry to learn that out
here in Washington you are importing
a great deal of stuff that is grown at
home. You do not even make all the
butter you use. That Is no way to
build up Washington and the Pacific
coast, when the coast is in position
to command the trade of the Orient

all the butter Washington can manu-
facture and put up in tin cans. Mill
ions of dollars of trade in butter alone
await the Pacific coast as soon as it can
supply the demand. The Pacific coast
is destined to yet be the great market
of the world"
