READY FOR YACHT RACE
INDICATIONS ARE FOR A GOOD
 BREEZE.
Final Arrangements for Great Event Have Been Completed-Course Will Not Be Announced
 Until Today.

New York. Sept. 25-weather sharps and yachting experts unite in, predicting that a breeze will blow tomorrow that will give the Shamrock and the Columbia a race which will be memorable In the long series of cup events. If weather conditions of today presage anything this prophecy will be fulfilled. After four days of almost calm weather a rattling breeze blew in from the northeast early this morning and at sunrise 1t had reach ed half a gale When the sailors of the cup yachts and their attendant vessels turned out for the last work of prepara- ton, a thirty mile wind was Kicking up the whitecaps in Sandy Hook, but out side heavy sea was running and sailing vesseis were pounding along nndeE ciose the sunset, the weather-wise say 1t will come again with the morning and that all indications are favorable for one of the most magnificent spectacles in yachting annals when the two racers go over the line tomorrow.
 The final arrangements for the races are complete and the regatta committee having the matter in charge feel assured that everything possible has been done to give each yacht fair show. As in the case of two years ago, the course will be patrolled by a fleet of revenue cutters In command of Captain Walker of the Revenue Marine Service, and the yachts least a mile wide.
 As is usual in all Americas cup con- tests, each club will be represened on the opposing yacht. W. Butler Duncan who, during the past season managed the Constitution, will represent the New York Yacht Club on board the Sham rock H. On board the Columbia will be H. M McGildowney, member of the Challenge Committee of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, a gentleman of wide yacht ing experience.
 1t will not be known until tomorrow what course the committee will order. Should the wind be from the northeast or from any direction between north east by north and east-northeast, the Regatta Committee said that the point of starting the race would have to be changed as there is not room for a f1f- teenImile windward or leeward race with the start from Sandy Hook lightship. Fifteen miles northeast Of the lightship would take the yachts up on the Long Island shore while fifteen miles in the other direction would md the Jersey shore barrier
 The start, therefore, in case of a north east or a southwest breeze will be either from a point near the Jersey shore some six miles southwest of the lightship or in an opposite direction. near Long Is-
 Such conditions prevailed six years ago in the first race of the Defender and Vslkyrie III, and the wind between northeast and the start moved to q point near the Jersey shore. of Sea bright, This enabled the yachts to beat out to sea with the turning mark about five miles south of Long Beach on the Long Island side of the course.
 There will be distinguished party of guests on board Sir Thomas Liptons ate

Situation at the Mines.

Madisonville, Ky, Sept. 25-AH prepa- rattons have been made for the reception of State troops which will arrive here to- night. The two companies from Bowling Green and Owensboro will go into camp at Reinecke mines, where all the trouble has been for the last ten days. The union camp is situated in sight of the mines, and from the territory adjoining this camp there has been directed a desultory but harrassing ire at the deputies guard ing the Reinecke property almost daily. Warrants for intimidation and the use of force have been issued against a large number of men in that camp and the grand jury, now in session, is supposed to be at work on indictments of these men who have shot from ambush at officers of the law and citizens passing on the highway. The soldiers will be quartered at the hotel tonight, and will escort the Reinecke miners to their work in the morning.
 At Oak Hill mines today the coal tipple men were fired on by riflemen stationed in the woods some distance away. Eight or ten shots were fired, but several depu- ties located the sharpshooters and drove them Into retreat.
 So far as known nobody was hurt. There. are 300 or more men in the union camp at Bakersport, thirteen miles east of here, on the edge of the adjoining county. They are provided with guns, keep sentries guarding the approaches and conduct the camp in military style. One of their officials Is an ex-army man.

sage is long and will be forwarded
to General Wood with the idea of hav-

made public at this time and probably
not until the convention takes action.
HAVANA, June 3.-Tbe press de-
plores the misunderstanding with the
Washington government, but generally
admits the possibility of wrong con-
struction being put upon the amend

pretations, and that it will be best
for the convention to take up the ques-
tion Immediately and accept the
amendment as passed by congress.

the people favor this, but the dele
gates are at loss what 70 do. Some
claim the United States is not acting
in good faith, as it was most improb-
able that the Washington officials did
not know what the convention was
doing and what was the nature Of the
report to be submitted. They say
that a majority of the committee on

Secret sessions and absent stenog-

the delegates themselves to set things
Alright. Regarding the controversy
which will surely arise later as to
who is responsible, the convention will

An effort is being made tonight by
some of the conservatives to avoid this
crisis by asking the convention to ad-
lourn for month, in the meanwhile
having the municipalities petition the
convention to pass the original amend
ment. Several municipalities have al
ready taken that action and it is
thought others will fall into line.
In the municipal election the ma
