Foreigners Who Suffered.


British subjects, next to Americans and
Cuban-Americans, suffered the greatest
losses during the instruction. The, were
mainly interested in sugar plantations and
in tobacco, while the Germans were ell
plantations and few sugar estates were
owned by French subjects. A little Fren1 h
capital was invested in the railways, but
British capitalists really controlled the
greater part of the railway system. So II is
probable that Great Britain has quite j
bill Of unsettled damages pending against
Spain. The railways also have large claims
for transportation of troops and supplies
which Spain failed to iquidate.
The Claim That Bothers the Cubans.
The real claim which is bothering the
Cuban constitution makers more than ever
is the bonded debt of 500 ,OOO, coo incurred
by Spain in her vain efforts to pacify the
island. That is something which foreign
governments might have an excuse for
seeking to enforce when they would have
no pretext on which to press a demand for
the payment by the commonwealth Of Cuba
of damages suffered by their subjects DUR
ing the period Of insurrection. The sus-
piciOn Is abroad that France especially has
been lying low waiting for the opportunity
to secure the recognition of this debt by
the Cuban government that Is to be. II
Cuba should admit a liability for any Dor
ton of this debt, 1t would be weighted down
SO heavily that the island might as well
sink to the bottom of the sea. Naturally
none of the constitution makers is thinking
of recognizing dollar of whatever obliga-
tons Spain incurred, but they do con-
fess in private uncertainty as to the best
way Of settling the question forever. OF
course. they think that the United States
would protect the island should such a
demand be made, yet not all of them are
willing to agree that the United States
from the beginning should be recognized as

Final Wrestling Match Tonight.

Louis Cannon and Jack Curran will
meet on the mat at the saucer track to-
night in their final bout of the series OF
three matches They will wrestle mixed
style, one fall to be at Graeco-Roman.
another at catch-as-catch-can, and the
deciding fall to be elected by the winner
Of the quickest previous fall. In the
event of one man winning two straight
falls there will be no necessity for de-
Gliding fall, and he will be declared the
winner of the match and series.
There is little probability that one man
will win the first two falls. Cannon
should win the catch as-catch-can bout
and Curran the Graeco-Roman. and,
moreover, Curran should dispose of Can
non in the quickest time. His time for
the falls Tuesday night was several min
utes less than that Of Cannon Sunday
night. That argues well for Curran. and
he should win the deciding fall tonight
AS was stated above, there will be no
bicycle races at the saucer In connec-
ton with the wrestling. However. Man

vaudeville attractions, which VIII in

Matters of General Interest
In the Merry World of Sport

It interested goodly number of per-
sons as was shown by the regular at
tendance. but there were many who
either did not appreciate the sport. or
who did not take enough interest in it
to investigate it and learn its merits
1t was a noticeable thing that, with
few exceptions. the same faces We're
seen at the saucer every race night
That shows what enthusiasts the sport
claimed and 1t is that which leads Mr..
King to believe that by next season
Butte will gladly welcome the return of
bicycling racing, will appreciate it's
worth and the true sport of it and will
be glad to support it. -
Several of the bicycle riders left Butte
yesterday afternoon, among them be-
ing Staver Burris and May. Staver
and May went to Salt Lake. while Bur-
ris went to Denver. All will continue
racing while the weather permits. The
other riders, of both the professional
and amateur classes, left this morning
for their respective homes. All declare
their intention of returning to Butte
next season.

How the Gallopers Performed,-

1t was stated in yesterdays report

that it looked like the beginning of

nothing to it but the books not first

SHAMROCK READY
FOR DRY DOCK
CHALLENGER's HULL WILL BE
SCRAPED AND PAINTED PRE-
PARATORY TO HER TRIALS
HER GREAT MAST COM
MANDS ADMIRATION
THE CREW HAPPY.
(By Associated Press,)

New York. Aug. 15.-The sky-scraping
pole mast of Shamrock II. was conf
pletely rugged yesterday and the bow
spirit was placed in position. The rae
ing main boom, which arrived from Glas-
gov on Tuesday, is in one of the shops
at the Erie basin.
1t is without exception the strongest
main boom ever carried by any racing
craft, schooner or single-sticker. 1t is
made of steel and is 113 feet long and
six or seven feet higher than that OF
the Constitution. and the mainsail of the
challenger will thus be the largest ever
set 1t is believed she will probably
have~t give the cup defender time.
The paint en- the under body of Sir
Thomas Li1,ton's steam yacht Erin had
not dried hard enough to enable her to
leave her drydock in the Erie basin yes
terday evening.
She will. however. be floated with
out fail today, and Shamrock II. will
take her place. The keel blocks for the
cup challenger were placed in position
yesterday afternoon, and there will be
no delay in the practical work of docking
her.
Captain Sycamore ana his steady crew
were not idle yesterday. The interior
of the Shamrock was stripped Of the
trusses and braces with which she had
been strengthened for her ocean voy-
age. Judging from the number of her
timbers she must have been braced quite
extensively and thoroughly.
It was learned that not a plate was
strained or a rivet started. thanks to
the generally fair weather she encount-
cred and the admirable way in which she
n CT
by the system of bracing employed.
Captain Sycamore has placed in po-
sition the racing gaff and main boom.
The boom extends over the taffrail
about Is feet, and it's extreme length
excited the admiration of all the yacht
ing "sharps'' that saw It.
In fact, the entire rig of the challen-
ger commands the approval of all prac-
teal yachtsmen and shipwrights. To-
day the yacht will be scrubbed and
painted. Tomorrow she will go to Sta
pleton, S. l.. where the finishing touches
will be put on her, preparatory to her
trials of the Hook.

The eyes of every sport in Colorado
and. in fact throughout the west, are
conferred on Denver where Young Cor
bett. the city's pride, will tomorrow night
meet George Dixon, the former feather
weight champion Of the world. Since he
lost his title to Terry McGovern, in
New York. In 1900, the little cOlored
boxer has done practically nothing. He
seemed to drop gradually down the lad
der. and top round of which he had
SO long and successfully defended, again:
all corners. The defeat was his undo
ing and there was little surprise when
five months later. Dixon suffered de-
feat at the hands of Tom Callahan.
Since that time he has done nothing sof
consequence. g.y /
1t is said Of Dixon though, that
he is now fit and the object of bring
ing him to Denver to meet Young
Corbett is to get a further line on, the
citys pride with a view to sending him
against Terry McGovern. 1t is doubtful
if Dixon can be in any kind Of shape
and be anything but stale. but it is pos
sible. COrbett should have no trouble
in disposing of the colored fighter. II
he does. he has lots Of work mapped
out for him, before he undertakes to 60

Much Money to Back Wade.

When the Helena admirers Of kid
Cglesby get into Butte. for the coming
match between the Helena lad and Jack
Wade they win find that they have no.
brought any too much money, to back
their confidence in their protege. They
will soon be appraised of the fact that
there is enough money in Butte ana
more than necessary, to cover the Ogles-,
by money and they will find that the
money has no strings on it, but is ready
to be posted at any time. That win
surprise the Helena sports no doubt,
but then they have not been figuring on
the popularity Wade has gained since
his mill with Jack Donnelly. There arc
any number of persons in Butte who
are willing and anxious to bet that Wade
will dispose of Oglesby in their coming
match at the saucer track.

Will Not Train Cars Horses.

A Salt Lake dispatch, dated yesterday,
and which speaks for itself, is as follows:
"A special to the Tribune, from Helena,
Mont, says that John Campbell. the vet
eran racing man, whose stables won the
Brooklyn handicap in 1892 and 1898, and
who now has a string of runners in
Butte, stated today that he had re-
ceived an offer to manage the training
stable of the car. at st. Petersburg. The
czar, he said, through an agent. had
offered him $4,000 year and ten per
cent of the winnings of royal racers.
MIR. Campbell says he is undecided
whether to accept the offer or not."1
The funny part of the whole affair is
that Mr.. Campbell is in Butte and denies
positively that he made any such state
ment as is credited to him. He says the
story is made Of whole cloth and without
the slightest foundation. He declares
that the first intimation he had Of an
offer from the czar, was when he was
shown the Salt Lake dispatch. Mr..
Campbell says he regards the matter as
a joke.
Should such a thing transpire as the
training of the cars horses by John
Campbell, there might appear on the
sporting pages Of American newspapers,
something like the following:
St. Petersburg, Aug. 15.-After the
finish of the race for the Orloff stakes,

Bicycle racing in Butte is now thing
Of the past until next season. Not for
ten months will there be seen the
spirited contests where Drawn and

around the steep inclines of saucer
track, in the exciting battles for speed
supremacy. No more will the putting
Of the motor cycles be heard. nor the
popping of the starters gun. nor the
calling of the laps, nor the rining of
the gong, nor anything else that was a
part of bicycle racing and which
served as a part of one of, If not the
grandest sport Butte has known for
many a day. And it is all because Butte
would not support the sport.
After the races Tuesday night. Man
ager King of the Butte Athletic asso-
citation decided that he had given the
sport as thorough test as could be
desired and as he was convinced that
It was useless to continue further with
q losing game, he called the races on.
It was evident that Butte did not
want bicycle racing for this season, at
least Mr.. King says it Is only Ques-
ton Of time, however, when the sport
will not only be appreciated but thor
oughly relished. He says he has been
educating the public up to the sport
this season and next season will reap
his reward in catering to bicycling en-
thusiasts Of his own making. The
educating process has been expensive
but Mr.. King does not complain of that.
He says he had big undertaking on
hand and though it failed, from a finan-
cial point of view, it was a success
from the viewpoint Of a sport lover.
OF the latter there can be no question.

HUNTERS IN HIGH FEATHER.
Closed Season for Deer over and
Many Hunting Parties Formed.


Many Hunting Parties Formed.
With the coming of September hunt
ers of all kinds begin to make their
preparations for trips to the haunt of
beast and bird, but as the exact pro-
visions of the states game laws are not
known to all a resume of their pro-
visions affecting the hunting of game
to be found in this section may not be
untimely.
The general law, enacted Dec. %, 1896,
makes it unlawful to hunt wild turkey,
pheasant, partridge, quail or any in
sectivorous or singing bird, except
English sparrows, crows, larks, rice
birds, wheat birds, night hawks and
doves, between March Is and Novem-
Der l. Doves are protected between
March Is and Aug. Is. Also during the
protected season it is unlawful to take
or destroy the eggs of the birds before
mentioned.
BY a later provision the batting, or
killing of doves thus baited is unlaw-
full at all times. Additional protection
was also given pheasants in 1900, when
an act was passed making it unlawful
tc catch, kill, or injure any English,
Monaghan or other pheasant or to de-
stroy their nests or to take their eggs
for a space of five years from the pass
age of the act.
The closed season for deer extends
from Jan. to Sept 1. This being over
already parties are being formed for
hunting trips along the coast islands,
and at least one party has already left
for Ossabaw with the hope of bagging
a few before they become wary from
frequent hunting
Other provision of the game laws
that is of interest is the act that
prevents any person, firm or corpora
ton from carrying or sending beyond
the state limits any partridge or quail
at any season of the year, and it is
further made unlawful to net par
tridges or quail at any season.
Still another provision states that il
is unlawful for any person to take for
the purpose of selling any wild tur-
key, quail, doves or deer except upon
his own land, unless he secure a IL
cense to do otherwise from the ordi-
nary of the county.
