ADMIRAL REMEYS NEW POST
BELIEVED TO BE WELL on HIS
WAY TO TAKU
High Estimate Tn Which He is Held
Thorough Sailor of Mature
Judgment.

Although not specifically informed on
that point. the officials of the Navy De-
partment are satisfied that Rear Admiral
Remey, with his flagship, the Brooklyn, is
now well his way to Taku. where, in
accordance with recent orders of the de-
partment. he will assume active command
of the American fleet at that point.
Last Tuesday, in acknowledging the re-
ceipt of orders to proceed to Taku, Admit
raj Remey stated that he would sail i'm
mediately, since which time nothing has
been heard from him. Consequently 1t is
assumed at the Navy Department that he
got away from Manila yesterday at the
latest, and will next be heard from early
next week either at Cheefoo or Taku. 1t
is not contemplated to relieve Admiral
but to place Admiral Remey, who is his
senior in rank and station, in supreme
command of naval operations in those
quarters during the present crisis. The
result of the present troubles in China is
of the greatest importance to the United
States, and it has been deemed the part
of prudence to have the senior naval Off
Ger present in charge of American naval
interests in that quarter, to guard against
any possible sacrifice of American prestige
and commerce expected to accrue from the
open-door arrangement with the foreign
powers.

able, modest and brave.
When trouble was brewing with Chile
and ships were fewer than now in the
United States navy, Admiral Repey was
chosen the first commander of the

involved not only an exciting sea expert

high speed, ending in the Itata's capture.
but diplomatic difficulties which he met
with signal success. The Itata was board
ed by a prize crew from the Charleston at
1quique on June 5. 1891, after successfully
evading United States warships on her run
from San Diego. She was accused Of vio-
lating the United States neutrality laws
munition were still aboard her when cap
tured. no opportunity having offered for
their transfer during her rapid flight.
In the course of his pursuit of the Itata
Capt. Remey encountered the Esmeralda
at Acapulco. and her captain said to him:
The Charleston will not take the Itata
unless she first sinks the Esmeralda." To
that Capt. Remey replied: Il do not care,
ESmeralda or no Esmeralda, nv orders
are to capture the Itata'
Admiral Remey has a reputation of fond

government has insisted all along that even
If some of the insurrectionists did come out
OF Nicaragua they were Colombian refugees

not responsible. The operations of these

THE ExILEs OF ANTICOsTI.
Hardships of Natives of the Island
Bought by the French Chocolate Man.
From the Torou.o Mail and Eranfre

HarOenlpB OF Natives OF the Island
Bought by the French Chocolate Man.
From the Toronto Mail and Empire
The English settlers at Fox Bay, Anti
cost, have at last been evicted by NJ. Me-
nier, the French chocolate king. but through
ed themselves in their condition they are
on the way to the prairies.
Exceedingly painful Is the case of these
Engiish-speaking Methodists. Their faith
ers settled at Fox Bay, Anticosu. thirty
years ago, on land that had been allotted
to them by the then proprtetors. When NJ.
Menier bought the island as a game pre-
serve he claimed everything and ordered
the people to leave their homes without de-
lay. In his effort to drive them out NJ.
Menier was aided by Mr.. Tarte. who
evinced great interest In his claim. Mr.
Tarte defended the proposed eviction and
took occasion in parliament to describe the
English Methodist settlers as wreckers and
murderers He said they were there to lure
ships to their doom by exhibiting false
lights. This assault upon the character OF
the unfortunate people awakened resent
n1ent among English-speaking Canadians
generally. 1t was uncalled for; it was de-
Hberately untrue.
During the past year NJ Menier has op-
Grated through the courts, and the judges
have reluctantly had to decide that the
settlers who could show no deeds were SUBJ
ject to removal. In the unhappy victims
the Rev. DR.. Griffith, chairman of the Meth
odist district Of Quebec. has taken be-
nevolent, humane and fraternal interest.
He sought to protect them. and aided them
when their removal became a necessity.
His action has incurred the displeasure of
the Partisan millionaire, and this gentle
man actually sought to have him arrested
and transported to Bale ST. Paul for trial
on the charge Of melting the people to re-
main on the island and to resist the decf-
sion of the court. Failing in this NJ Menier
is suing Dr. Griffith for $1,000 on the same
allegation. The suit has produced much
surprise.
Meanwhile the evicted settlers, penniless
and suffering. have reached Quebec on
probable that in the end the change will be
beneficial to them and their children But
meanwhile the loss of their homes, their
boats, their little lobster factories and their
fishing plants is sorrowful thing for them
They go west. not as wreckers who lure
ships and sailors to their doom, but as good
and religious people who deserve well.

YALE WINS BIG RACE
Though Harvard Carries Off Both
the Minor Events.
EIGHf-OAR Won BY Is SECONDS
The Day Opened Cloudy, but Later
Cleared Away.
BIG GROW PRES E n L


NEW LONDON. June 2s-The day for
the big YaIe-Ilarvard regatta did not open
auspicinusly for the races that were ar
ranged for midday: there were prospects
of wind and rain. but later in the morning
the chances improved. the sun came
through he dark canopy of clouds and
Eut. aultry day began.
Tie dawn came stealthily through muddy
black clouds and fairly strong breeze
blew fitfully from points between south and
west.
The hundreds of college men. who had
arrived a. all hours during yesterday af-
ternoon and last night, had stayed up till
the last moment. drinking success to their
fayori,es and bowling college songs and
wells over the lawns and through the halls
a. the Pequot. and were still clinging to
the cots that mad been strewn thickly
through the rooms and parlors of the hotel.
Up in the city there was the usual high
c2rniVal of conviviality and noise until al
most daylight. and the merrymakers were
late i'll rising as Il result
Few Seen on the street.
There were not many persons in evil
dence on New London streets during the
early forenoon. as precedent demanded for
regatta day. The remark was frequently
heard that the accident TO Higginson and
his loss to the Harvard varsity had caused
many to lose the interest necessary to bring
them here, and with other lovers of good
spGrt. who could not attend both regattaS,
had decided them in favor of Poughkeep-
sic where five colleges will fight for
premacy Saturday. 1t Is the varsity eight
contest wherein the thoroughbreds are en-
tered that always brings the true lovers of
college racing to a meet like this.
freshman race is a short. snappy
struggle between a set of noyices who can
never be depended upon to bear out the
judgment of expert Oarsmen. and the four
is also a two-mile sprint. So these
colts only serve to whet appetites for the
big contest between the varsity Fights.
Naturally discussion of this. contest CEN
tered about the point that Harvard's cap
tain and best stroke in years was out of
the she'll and his place taken by smaller
man. Harding, who had never stroked a
four-mile race and who had but a few
days of preparation with this crew of men
Sporting Men are SuperstitiOus.
But sporting men notorious for their
superstitions and omens of good luck and
the fact that Harding had participated in
many eight-oared contests on the Charles
and had never lost race was more re-
sponsihle than any other one thing for the
even betting that was carried on extern
siveIy last night and this morning. For
Yale had splendid crew in her varsity
boat. and from a dispassionate standpoint
would seem to have had the chances in
her favor under the existing conditions.
Toward . o'clock the sun forced its way
through the clouds and lit up the college
colars that futtered about the streets and
b'ue patches began to show overhead.
Among the numerous craft the river
was the government steamer Gresham.
which had dropped anchor during the
night.
