IANRE pENNA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER, s. 1901.
LUCBAN DID 1T, SAYS OTIS
Disaster Does Not Mean There ls
Widespread Revolt.


Chicago, Sept. 30.-General Elwell S.
Otis, in command of the department of
the lakes. said last night that the
slaughtering of members of Company
c, of the Ninth infantry in Samar did
not mean that there is anything like
widespread revolt in that province.
Concerning the disaster General Otis
said: "Samar Is in the department of
Visaya, over which Brigadier General
Hughes has command. This depart
ment includes all the central islands of
the Philippine Archipelago. During the
last month our soldiers have been ac-
tive in an attempt to subdue rebellion,
which is confined to the boundaries of
hat island. The insurgent leader,
Luckban, heads the natives, and he and
his Tagalo followers have been ihstru-
mental in keeping alive the spirit Of
opposition to this governments au-
thority there.
"The location of the ambuscade is in
southern Samar, of which TIL inhabi-
tants are ignorant and ba barlous.
Probably Lucban got party of bolo-
men together and surprised the
American soldiers while at breakfast
l think Lucban knows something
about the attack, at any rate.

COLUMBIA, THE VICTOR.
American Boat Won First Race By
Thirty-seven Seconds.
MAeNlFIcENTM MARINE SPECTACLE
Closest and Most Exciting Struggle
Ever Seen In An American Cup
Race-Boats Were Neck to Neck,
For Miles Of the Course,


For Miles Of the Course.
New York, Sept. 28.-Columbia won
today by. l minute 20 seconds correct
ed time, and by 81 seconds actual
time. Shamrock beat Columbia 80 sec
onds in beating to the outer mark, and
Columbia beat Shamrock l minute 16
seconds on the run home. Shamrock
allows Columbia 43 seconds.
The American boat beat Shamrock
II. today in the hottest, closest, ligh.
weather race ever sailed for the Amer
ica's cup, and the like of which has
seldom, If ever. been equaled by yachts
of their size in any sort OF a race.
From the start to finish there was
never more than the length of black
bass fishing line between the two big
sloops, and at times they were so near
that biscuit could have been tossed
from one to the other. The wind never
got above ten knots, and was frequent
ly as low as seven, and yet the race
was sailed almost an hour inside the
tie limit OF 5R hOurS.
Not Bloodless Victory.
While Columbia won, it was by no
means q bloodless victory. Shamrock
behaved splendidly in the windward
work. fulfilling all the promises that
her friends have made for her. She
beat the white sloop to the outer mark
by margin of 39 seconds actual time,
but when it came to running before
a breeze with all sail set the finer,
sharper, fiatter lines of the Columbia
won the honors.
The cup defender made the run
home / minute and 16 seconds quicker
than the challenger, and won the race
by margin of l minute 20 seconds
corrected time. This of course in
cludes the 43 seconds Shamrock Il
obliged to allow Columbia for carrying
about 1,100 square feet of additional
sail In actual time, boat for boat,
Columbia won by 81 seconds, and this
tells how close the race was from the
standpoint of the spectators.
The interest taken in the event was
reflected by the attendance of excur-
sionists in spite of Thursdays fluke
and unfavorable weather prognostica-
tions. Upward of 1870 vessels followed
the race, and as the day was fair and
the sea smooth it proved most de-
lightful outing even for landlubbers.
There was no interference with eth
er of the yachts by the great fleet of
pleasure boats, Captain Walker and
his aids on the revenue cutters again
rigidly preserving the two great lines,
which stretched out in the shape OF
V, one leg on either side of the
course. But there were several colli-
sions in the line, and Sir Thomas Lip
tons Erin had a hole punched in her.

SENTENCE OF cZoLGoSZ
Murderer to Die During Last Week In
October.

Buffalo, Sept. 27.-Leon +. CZolgosz,
the assassin of President Mckinley, was
yesterday afternoon sentenced to be
electrocuted in Auburn state prison
during the week beginning Oct. 2S,
1901. Before sentence was passed the
assassin evinced desire to speak but
he could not get his voice above a
whisper and his words were repeated
to the court by his counsel
There was no one else but me-" the
prisoner said in a whisper mo one
else told me to do it and no one paid
me to do it. | was not told anything
about the crime and | never thought
anything about that until a couple of
days before l committed the crime.
Czolgosz sat down. He was quite
calm but it was evident that his mind
was flooded with thoughts of his own
distress. His eyes were dilated. max
ing them appear very bright His
cheeks were a trifle pale and his out
stretched hand trembled. The guards
put the handouts on his wrists. He
looked at one of the officers. There
was an expression of the profoundest
fear and helplessness in his eyes. He
glanced about at the people who
crowded there in efforts to get look
at him. The prisoners eyelids rose and
fell TREMENDOUSLY and then he fixed his
gaze upon the floor in front of him.
Then Justice White passed sentence
as follows
"In taking the life of our beloved
president you committed crime which
shocked and outraged the moral sense
of the civilized world. You have con-
fessed h at guilt and after learning all
that at this time can be learned from
the facts and circumstances of the
case. twelve good jurors have pro-
nouIced you guilty and have found
you guilty of murder in the first de-
gree.
The sentence of the court is that
in the week beginning Oct. 2S 1901, at
the place, in the manner and means
prescribed by law, you suffer the pun
ishment Of death"

YACHTS DID NOT FINISH
Lack Of Wind Prevented Crossing Line
In Prescribed Time.

New York, Sept. 27.-One of the big
gest crowds that ever put to sea went
down to the Sandy Hook Lightship
yesterday to witness Sir Thomas Lip
tons second challenger, Shamrock III,
and the white flyer Columbia, which
successfully defended the old Americas
cup against his first trophy hunter two
years ago, struggle for the yachting su-
pI pIemacy of the world in the first of the
cup races of 1901. But the excursion
feet returned disappointed.
The great single stickers went out in
the morning fresh for the battle, but
the sea refused them field of conflict.
The wind, never more than nine and
sometimes as low as three knots, was
too light and shifty to carry the con-
testants over the 30 mile course in the
time allotted by the rules. At the end
of five and half hours, the prescribed
time, the race was officially declared
of and the yachts were towed back to
their berths inside Sandy Hook.

czOLGosz BREAKS DOWN
The Assassin Unnerved When Taken
to Auburn Prison.


Auburn, Sept. 28.-Czolgosz, Presi-
dent McKinley's murderer, in the Gus
tody of Sheriff Caldwell of Erie county.
and 21 regular and special deputies,
arrived in Auburn yesterday morning.
When Czolgosz was taken from the
train his legs gave out from fright
and he had to be carried into the
prison. When his handouts were re-
moved he fell over and moaned and
groaned, evincing the most abject ter
ror When the officers Immediately
proceeded to strip him and put on a
new suit of clothes, Czolgosz cried
and screamed, making the prison cor
ridors echo.
The collapse OF the assassin was q
surprise to every one. On the way
from Buffalo he showed no indication
of breaking down. He ate heartily OF
sandwiches and smoked cigars when
not eating. He talked and expressed
regret for his crime. He said: II am
especially sorry for Mrs. Mckinley"
