that Mercer could not score from third
base, and the double play won the game.

RACES ON OTHER TRACKS.

Cleveland, July 2S.-Search Light, in
addition to winning the 2:O4 race from
Anaconda and Frank Bogash placed a
new mark today for the Chenille track
at 2;OS IL. 1t was the fastest mile that
has ever been made in harness on the
Cleveland track. The great son of Dark

heats that nave been seen in many a
day.
Another mark was fixed by The
Maid, when, in the second heat of the
2:14 pace, she went mile in 2:O6 IA,
breaking the record for four years old
pacing mare in races, made by Much
Better at ST. Jose last Aug of 2:07 Ia.
The track record at Chenille was
2:03 "a, made by Frank Agan. The
fourth day of the races presented the
best program so far this week, the star
attraction being the fast pacing race.

they made good time, and Search Light
knocked the opinion of the bookies end
wise in winning the race, which they
had scheduled for Anaconda. Cresceus
was the disappointment in the 2:10
trot for after winning one heat he was
hardly heard of except in a wonderful
drive in the last heat. The race went
to Elleree, who got better as the race
progressed, and finally won from Tom
my Britton and Cresceus.
A peculiar state of affairs existed
with the 2:14 pace. The Maid was the
favorite, but Will Tranby was played
most against the field. The favorite in
the opening of the betting finally won
the race after dropping a heat to Tran

the 2:21 trot, but Dainty Daffo was the
winner
The crowd which attended the races
was not as large as it had been on the

people were in the grandstand. The day
was an ideal one, with the track FAST,

Philippines regarding Lieutenat Gil
more and the party from the York town
who were captured by the Filipinos,
and who have been repeatedly reported
from official sources as being well cared
Tor and well treated
1t appears that when the Americans
reached San Isidro they met some
spanish soldiers and civilians who had
been imprisoned. They found the
names of the American prisoners
scratched on the walls of the Jail.
Some letters from the men were found
secreted under stones, and Spaniard,
who had been entrusted with several,
presented them to General Lawton.
The letters told of the hardships the
men were compelled to suffer, and
begged that aid be sent them. The
men complained that they had been
starved, beaten and bound, and more
over were in rags.
One OF the letters, signed by Albert
Lowenshon, said that the Spaniards
had been treated very badly, even
worse than the Americans, and that
hundreds were dying of dysentery and
other diseases, and that the insurgent
government took no notice of the sick
pess prevailing.

by Pirates.
Canton, Aug. 17--Five Hundred SOL
diers were surrounded at Cotkon, on
The Weret river, by 10000 robbers and
desperate fight occurred, ending in a
victory for the robbers, who have
hoisted their flags upon all command
ing points and occupied the villages in
the vicinity. Three hundred and fifty
soldiers were killed and 100 wounded.
Two thousand more troops have left
Canton to engage the rebels.
Washington, Aug. 17.--The dispatch
from Canton is in line with apprehen-
sions expressed to the state department
in recent report from Consul General
Wildman at Hongkong, in which he
gave an account of the prevalence of
piracy and brigandage. 1t was stated
that large towns along the river were
headquarters for these piratical parties,
and that they practically dominated
the navigation of the river. The init
nation was given that the Chinese were
pow. r ess to cope with the evil. It
would seem that it would have to be
overcome by British gunboats.
