 PURSUED BY CROWDS IF ARMED MEN
SCARRED VETERANS
 OF REGENT WAR
Men Who Wanted to Fight Spain Are Assembled
 in AnnlSton

Anniston, May 9.-(Special)-The third annual reunion of the Alabama Veterans of the Spanish American War was held in this city today.
 The veterans were rendered delicious dinner at the Calhoun Hotel this after noon at o'clock. Several of the veterans responded to after dinner toasts.
 At the business meeting held at the wilmar Hotel this afternoon at o'clock. Major Parkes of Birmingham presided After passing upon several things in the routine of business, the election of officers was entered into, resulting as follows:
 Commander. E. l.. Higdon of Birming- ham; first vice commander, A Harrison of Oxford; second vice commander. W. F. Tebbitts of Mobile; third vice com mander, c. A.

ship Olympia was used by the Kearsage twelve, the Alabama boys using a some- what similar cutter built for this ship by the Cramps.
 The rules prescribed for all cutter races for the trophy cup given the squadron by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont were rigidly ad- hered to. -.1l
 The starting boats were two Alabama dignities just about opposite the Massa- chusetts, the turning boats being two Kearsage dinghies a mile inshore. The course lay right by the fleet and the wind was on the beam. Each boat was held by friendly hand till the word "go'' was given. Commander Merriam was the Kearsage judge, Capt. l.. J. Magill, U. s. M. C., for the Alabama, Lieut.. c. F. Hughes of the Massachusetts acted as referee.
 As soon as the cutters cleared the starting points and strengthened out for the race it was evident that two entirely different sets of men were using abso- lutely dissimilar systems. The Kearsage crew were almost all f1rst-class appren- tices, stoutly-built larger than the av- craze and muscular to a degree. Their stroke was long, strong and for the most part regular. The Alabama lads were nearly every one apprentices of the sec- ond class and hence younger than. their competitors. They were lighter, more si- newy and withal more active, as their sustained cadence of thirty-seven strokes per minute against the Kearsage's- twen- ty-five to thirty-ive very plainly showed.
 Well, it was anybody's race. and I have never seen excitement more intense or in- terest more genuine and enthusiastic.
 When the boats passed the Alabama on the first reach there were loud cheers from all hands. Then, when few minA utes later they passed the Kearsage, the cheering was equally hearty. As they rounded the stake boat and headed for the goal, there was vociferous applause all over the fleet.
 Little by little the Kearsage crew would creep up, but somehow or other they could not quite get the lead. The cheering was renewed and redoubled as they passed the two parent ships on the home stretch. But when the two passed the Alabama's s stern the Alabama's s cutter was almost length ahead And such a mighty cheer went up that I verify be- ieve 1t literally lifted that cutter ahead another boat length. In a minute more the Alabama boys "tosed oars" and the din that followed will echo and re-echo through the hills of Culebra and many a day after the stately ships are gone.

THE PEERLESS ALABAMA.
Once More She Wins a Squadron
 Championship.

U. B. $. Alabama, Targe Bay, Culebra
 Island, Porto Rico, April 13.-The North Atlantic squadron has, for several weeks past, been so pervaded and permeated
 and overshadowed by general order No. g. that, in the ordinary course of naval routine, there should have been almost no
 time or opportunity left for anything else. General order No. g. be it known, pro-
 vides very specifically and comprehen- sively for all the ways and means of l transforming an ordinary deck-hand Into a proper sharpshooter and great gunsman 1 combined.
 1 As soon as the fleet left Pensacola, dur | ing the third week in March, the prelimi- | nary lectures and drills were begun; so | that when the ships arrived here, they were almost ready to begin actual work. | This work has been continued faithfully and assiduously, and with apparently ex- | cellent results.
 Oh one thing almost forgot: While No. g. was proceeding there was also in session for over a week an examination board for former engineer officers who
 were to qualify for the line. Lieutenant Commander A. V. Zane of the Kearsarge
 was president of this board and nine lieu
 tenants and ensigns stood the examina- tion. l pohcFo lHt n6XC LnInB on the pTO-
 gramme is an examination of cadets for
 final graduation. But about the idle-hour employment.
 Really the stay at Culebra does not prove
 dull at all. With the Kearsarge, Massa- chusetts and Alabama here there is real ly always something doing" To be sure there is little to tempt one on shore; but within the squadron it Is not half bad.
 Last Saturday night, for example, the Ia "a or1a yard crux xo O
 which nearly all the officers of the fleet
 attended. It was a pleasant gathering
 and altogether enjoyable It would, of course, be out of taste to hint that be uninviting beach" contributed largely to the very full attendance Several smaller dinner parties have proved quite success ful as was the formal dinner given .o- night on the Alabama to Captain Brown son of the Alabama and Captain Train of he Massachusetts and his sfficers. The Scorpion arrived from San Juan and La Guayra iate this evening. She, with the collier Hannibal and tn tug Po- tomao, increase the fleet to six vessels. The Scorpion was just an hour too late to witness what was, perhaps. the most exciting boat race that has taken place In the navy for many years. It was a two-mile pull between the Kearsarge and Alabama apprentice crews for the Bel mont cup and the championship of the squadron
 Two days ago the same two racing cut

GREAT PANIC IN STOCKS
 IN LONDON EXCHANGE

London, May 9.-Not in the memory of the oldest stock broker has there been been such panic as prevailed this aft ernoon in Americans. After the closing of the stock exchange hundreds of deal CTS endeavored to struggle into the mar row confines of Shorter's court, where outside dealings are done, in efforts to raise or reduce, as the case might be, Americans to New York parity.
 Suddenly there developed a terrific slump in Union Pacific which was knocked down 20 points in as many sec onds.
 St. Paul suffered almost as badly.
 Large and small brokers rushed to the scene until Thromorton street became impossible. The rain poured down but the excited crowds paid no heed to it. All sorts of prices were shouted at the top of the operators voices.
 Down, down went Americans,
 Ire leading houses sent urgent orders to buy or sell, but found 1t almost impos- sible to have their orders executed. Rails of every description were quoted at rock bottom prices, and steel and other securi- ties fell in sympathy. Then, without rhyme or reason, reaction set in. Up and down went Americans. After about hali an hour of this panicky speculation a more reasonable feeling prevailed, and stocks rose to within few points of theil price when the stock exchange closed But long before the usual hour hundreds of stock brokers, most of them drenched to the skin, traded in the hope of getting clear before tomorrow's opening.
 J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., said to rep resentative of the Associated Press: l. '.So far as I know there was no reason for this afternoons panic except utter lack of information regarding the condi- tons of the railroad market in America do not apprehend any serious results. "
 MT Brown, partner In the firm of Speyer Bros, said:
 'Tt cannot bc called anything but a panic. Still I don't expect failures except possibly a few small ones. The crowd is too terribly excited to transact many dealings and not much stock has changed hands. There Is no earthly reason for to- days scene except the endeavor to keep pace with New York, which Is being done in the dark. and led to panic such as we have never seen before. The rise that came to an end was only to be ex- pected, but the affair will hurt Americans here and it will probably be, some time before feeling of security Is thoroughly re-established."
 A representative of Seligman Bros. said:
 'The market here is only reflex of New York. Without accurate knowledge of the conditions there 1t Is impossible to say what will happen here. We are quite in the dark, but do not anticipate any serious results"

Writ Of Mandamus Asked.

Columbus, O., May 9.-An application was made to the Supreme Court today for a mandamus to compel Jundge Young to permit the publication of testimony in the trial of the men accused of the mur- der of W. c.

Hogsett of Cleve- land made an argument in support of the application, claiming that Judge Young's order was in violation of Section Il, of the bill of rights, which says.
 Every citizen may freely speak, write and publish his statements on all sub- jects, being responsible for the abuse of the right, and no law shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of the press.''
