Off Cumbrae the challenger was leading by fifty-three seconds. Soon after they sailed into a calm and Shamrock L. passed Shamrock II. wide to windward. Fetching up the Firth, the wind head ed the boats and their jobtopsails were taken in. The breeze freshened. but the challenger gained very little. Later she bore away and passed wide to lee ward of Shamrock I. This left the old CT boat in still better position, and she was soon able to pass ahead of Shamrock II. and slightly to wind ward.
 The windward work continued for two or three miles in a gradually soft ening wind. The softer the wind be- came the better suited was Shamrock I. The two boats were still in close conn., pany when they wore round and start ed on a long run down the wind with spinnakers set to port and Shamrock l. again proved that in going to leeward in a light wind she is faster than the new challenger. When off Knock Castle Shamrock l. led by a minute and forty seconds. The timing two miles further showed that the former challenger had continued to gain seventeen seconds on each mile on the run.
 The new challenger then set 8 club, topSail in place of her jib-header, and the former challenger did the same. Shamrock II. then held the leader bet ter but for time she was unable to lessen the gap.

Tine report says It is expected the force in Cuba will be very much reduced and the Philippines force also can be reduced.
 General Miles does not approve or the present organization of the artil- lery corps, saying that 1t establishes another bureau ip Washington. He believes in the former regimental or galizatien. Speaking of the army can teen, which is abolished by the army reof @anization law. he says that no in- illrE has resulted and in the main the law has been beneficial.
 General Miles states his objections to inc management of military affairs in tie war department in the following language
 sS.l,nc congress has made ample provision for the management Of mill- tdry affairs in the organization of the army, whereby the companies. regi. manis are made the units of admins ments ahe made the units of admisin- tratioli and by statutes has cl6thed the officials not only with executive au- thoiily, but with judicial powers and responsibility. yet the tendency has bscIs tc absorb and usurp the enIirc c0nduct of the military establishment in ti.e city of Washington and especial ly in the staff departments. This has been found most injurious in other Eats iS lT Ia fleets 1T. oIlr system. The evil has been increasing during the activities of the wars of the last three years 10 an ex- tenr thal. in my judgment. requires serious conSiderat ton, and l recommend that decent realization be effected as far as possible and that all proper and lawful authority be restored to Subor- dinate commanders who are provided with efficient organization and who can be safely intrusted with responsibility for the efficient and faithful admins traitor Of military affairs commensu. rate with their important incomes.
 As large portion of the army $ sta. .ioned in the western part of the United States and over one-half west of the Pacific ocean. General Miles recon n,ends the establishment of q military school in southern California. He also recommends the establishment of q war college in the city of Wash ington.
 General Miles refers to a number of recomn endations that he made in for mer reports looking to the improve ment of the army; also to orders he has issued during the year to accomplish this purpose. He speaks especially Of the experience, intelligence and eff cienry of the troops of the United States and the success they. have had in China and the Philippines and says they have borne the rigors of the Arc tie climate in Alaska, and the heat or tte stropics.and under all circumstances maintained the high character of the American army. He recommends that the. military posts throughout the coun- try be put in excellent shape for troops that are returned from service beyond the sea.

 PHILApELP4IA, Oct. 2S.-It is re- ported in maritime circles that an ar- rangement has been effected between the Panama Railroad company and the Americana H Hawaiian Steamship compa- ny, now plying between New York and Philadelphia and San Francisco and tue Hawaiian Islands, by which the cargoes will be transferred at the isth- mus to the railroad This transshipment would mean clear aving of forty five days in a voyage which occupies about four months and would do away with the present perilous trip through the strait of Magellan. It also means an immense saving in coal, as the new ar engagement would bring the terminus of the line 5000 miles nearer Agents or the steamship company declined to con firm: the statement that such an agree ment had been effected, but as negotia- tions to that end have been pending general credence.is given to the report. . The American-Hawaiian Steamship company has been engaged for year past in conveying sugar from our trop- sicaI possessions and in return voyages has carried out quantities of machinery and manufactured goods. A fleet of six vessels is now in service, and three more vessels are about to be added
 By the proposed arrangement the fleet will be divided. and three vessels will ply between this port and New York and Colon, the Atlantic port, on the isthmus, while the other three will run between Hawaii. San Francisco and Panama on the Pacific coast. The distance from Philadelphia to Colon is 1,9S1 miles, while the long voyage round the Horn to Panama is ID round figures II ,000 miles.
