THE WIND BLEW.
But Not Untu Another Yacht Race Had
Been Declared or

New York, October l4.-The two big
yachts got es far as the starting line to-
day bat did not cross it. There was not
enough wind to blow out the signal flags
when the time came to send them away
and after waiting an htur In ths vain
hope that a brssze might spring up, from
SOM ewhers, tbs committee boat hoistsd
the now familiar blue flag dressed by a
white bar, denoting that the race was of
for the day. The small mob of excursion
boats. yachts and tugs was on hard to
witnes; the melancholy announcement.
After the yachts had got back to their
anchorage, inside the Horse Shoe and the
tall of the excursion fleet had disappeared:
through the narrows, good, strong
breeze blew In from the sea and held
throughout the aft rnoon. With such a
wind the boats would have covered the
course in four hours. Ths yachts will try
again on Monday, but the-old barnacles
ara now saying that unless storm comes
along to stir up the stagpant atmosphere
there Is not much of a chance In the
weather conditions until the moo n
changes on Wednesday.

Beers.

Copyright 1899 by the Associated Press. J
Berlin, October IA high German
official whose uttsrances may be taken as
absolutely conclusive said to a represent
aJive of the Associated Press today:
1--WE shall observe the strictest neutrali-
ty no matter what may develop In the
war between the Bosr republics and
Great Britain. This is the only course
left open as conditions In South Africa
are 30 complicated and our relations with
both sides are SO delicate, that to abandon
neutrality by SO much as hairs breadth
would necessarily lead to new and unfor-
seen complications.
"Of course all the other powers would
like 1t only too well IL Germany would
oppose England seriously in this matter;
but we, doubtless, would again be left to
our unaided selves. Therefore, we are
going to avoid intervention and to re-
main strictly neutral in the coming
struggle"
However, aside fson the government
press every paper end every psrEon, high
or low, condemns England, Many also
seriously blame the government for its
inactivity.
The lrst Boer success is commented
uron alphabetically by the German
press. The leading military organ. tse
MilItlare Wo,hsnblatt says: "Grsat

the Beer forces, which are sixty thousand
men we'll equipped. She will need 150,-

New York. October IS. There were
several visitors at the morgue today to
whom were shown the parts of the dis
membered body of the mys eriously MUIR
dered woman. the fret part of which was
found in West nth street but no identI-
fication was made. Various reasons were
given by the people who called. for their
beliefs that the murdered woman might
be some relative or particular friend. The
police have discovered another missing
woman who they believe may possibly be
the murdered woman, but nothing more
than theory developed today.
