Period of Drifting Fizzles as
Much as Possible.
RISE In SHAMROCK STOCK
EVENTS OF THE WEEK HAVE
STRENGTHENED PUBLIC FAITH.
Her Owner, Managers and Crew Arc
Happy, hut the Columbia People
Maintain Their Confidence.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-By a mutual agree
ment the representatives Of the New York
Yacht Club and the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club the Columbia and Shamrock will sail
every day, after next Thursday, until the
question of international yachting suprem-
acy Is established.
The request for such an arrangement
came from Sir Thomas Upton, owner of the
challenger. Sir Thomas wanted the races to
be sailed daily after next Tuesday. but the
members of the New York Yacht Club
refused to assent to such an arrangement.
The meeting, at which the arrangement for
a change OF dates was reached, was held
at the Ne- York Yacht Club to-day. There
were presen. r. G. Sherman Crawford and
H. NJ MsGldowney representing the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club, and Lewis Cass Ledyard,
J. W S. Oddie, +. w. Hurst, Edward NJ.
Brown and II. F. Lippitt representing the
New York Yacht Club. At the conclusion of
the meeting the following agreement was
drawn up and given out for publications:
1.-THE foregoing agreement the challenge
agreemenO is further modified by mutual
consent as follows:
Strike out the clause beginning. the first
race shall be sailed on Tuesday, Oct 3. 1s99,'
and substitute the following: The races
shall be sailed on the following dates until
the series be completed, namely: Oct. 10.
1899 Oct u. and on each following day. ex-
cept Sunday, provided, however, that imme-
diately on the conclusion Of the race OF
Oct IL and of each subsequent race, the
regatta committee shall inquire Of each con-
testant whether he is willing to start the
next day and should either contestant an
swer in the negative, one day shall inter-
vene before starting the next race. Sunday
shall not count as such intervening day"
The agreement was signed by the men,
bers Of the committees representing both
yacht clubs interested. AT the conclusion OF
the meeting Secretary Oddie said:
I'm case the boats sail on the day follow
ing a race, the committee boat will display
the international code letter 81" of blue
and yellow squares. If there is to be no
race. the letter M" blue with diagonal
white stripes. will be displayed from the
committee boat. The club suggests that
each yacht and boat present take up and
display the signal given by the committee
boat. There was no friction in reaching the
agreement as TO the change Of dates Sir
Thomas Upton at first asked that the race
be started daily after Tuesday The club
decided that this would hardly be prudent.
In the first place. IL would be entirely unfair
to the public. Thousands of persons have
made arrangements TO attend the races on
a certain day. Hundreds OF excursions have
been arranged for, and to make a chance
in the racing dates. on so short a motto.
would not be right TO the public. The club
Is deeply grateful. for the manner In which
the public has been acting at the races

NOVELETA Island of Luzon, Oct. s, 3:15
o. m.-General Schwans column consisting
of the Thirteenth Infantry, battalion of
the Fourteenth, two troops of cavalry, Cap
tain Reilly's battery of the Fifth Artillery
and loves scouts advanced from Bacoor
this morning and occupied Cavite Viejo and
Noveleta. The American loss was three
officers and nine privates wounded. one of
the officers being mortally hurt. The loss
of the enemy is unknown. but the bodies of
three Filipinos were seen.
There were two sharp fights near Move
leta. loves scouts first encountered the
enemy near Cavite Viejo and soon put them
to flight, continuing their advance. Captain
Saffolds battalion Of the Thirteenth Regi-
ment, with two companies of the Four
teenth and number of Tagalo scouts, Cap
tain McGrath commanding, two troops from
the Fourth Cavalry and Captain Reilly's
battery came upon the enemy In a strongly
intrenched position on the road between
Cavite Viejo and Noveleta. A fight lasting
half an hour followed, the enemy being
driven back. The American forces sus-
tanned considerable losses in this engage
ment. the men being shot from trenches and
shacks along the road. The column then
pressed to Noveleta, which the troops
found deserted, and they will remain there
tonight
The marines and naval forces co-operated
with the troops The gunboats Wheeling,
Petrol and Callao lay off the shore near
Noveleta and threw shells into that town
and Santa Cruz for an hour, preparing the
way for the marines to iand. Two battal-
ions, consisting Of $50 marines, under Col.
Elliott, advanced ,.long the peninsula from
fn Tha op1
a narrow road through swamps. A mile be-
yond the marines outpost the column was
suddenly received with volley from
trenches across the road. A flank move
ment was executed and the insurgents were
driven from tie trenches, the marines wad-
ing through rice fields in turning the flank
of the enemy, who retreated to strong sand
forts across the creek dividing the penin-
sua, destroying the bridge across the
stream. The marines waded through more
rice fields, forded the river in water 10 their
shoulders and carried the forts meeting
with feeble resistance, the first encounter
having disheartened the enemy. Squads
were sent TO Noveleta and burned the town
and huts all along the road from which the
enemy commenced the firing. There a
junction was formed with the scouts. who
had been sweeping the swamps and thick
cts. Thence the marines returned TO Ca
vite, thoroughly exhausted. Lieutenant

have begun fighting long ago. The corre-
spondent further says:
1.-The financial position of the Free State
is becoming acute, and suspension of specie
payments is expected soon. The Free
States national bank credit in Cape Town
has been stopped. The Orange Raad in
secret session passed law empowering the
President to use the revenue Of the state
and to borrow money 10 conduct the war.
The Cape Bank refused to honor paper from
both republics, and the Transvaal coinage
has seriously deprecated, silver not being
negotiable even in the Transvaal itself.
The Pretoria mint is working day and night
minting the gold stolen from the mail train,
but Kruger gold has been tested since the
mint was opened. and therefore the coinage
practically consists of expensive tokens
