Those on Board the Boston Yacht
Have Not Lost Faith in Her
Capabilities.
PLEASED WITH CONSTITUTION.
Cnder Americas Cup Condition
Rules Saturdays Race Would
Have Been Declared No Race
To-Day May Decide.

Newport, r. l., July lit was day OF
satisfaction on board the new yachting
champion. the Constitution, OF resignation
on the Columbia and of contemplation. but
still hopefulness on the Boston yacht indie
pendence, SO badly defeated in yesterdays
race.
On shore. however, everyone discussed the
race from all sides, but principally with
reference to the unexpected showing of the
Independence. 1t seemed to be the general
opinion among those yachtsmen who
watched the race closely that the sluggish
ness Of the Crowniishield boat was due to
some extent to the uncertainty of the wind
some little time after the start, and that
the true worth OF the yacht was not
brought out.
On board the Boston boat not man was
cast down. the overwhelming defeat being
attributed solely to hard luck. Said one
OF those on board during the race:
We know that the Independence can sail
en9 SAIL fast. for We have seen her do it.
and we believe that yesterdays Ill luck
Captain Han is quoted as expressing
similar views to Mr.. Lawson, when the lat
ter came aboard last night after the race.
and tonight all hands on the Boston boat
are looking forward eagerly and confidently
to to-morrow's contest. when over tri-
angular course the Independence is ex-
providing. Of course, there is any kind of a
breeze.
Would Have Been No Race.
It was also pointed out that under the
Americas Cup conditions yesterdays con-
test would have been declared no race, the
usual time limit of five hours and a half
having been exceeded. but those on the In
dependence did not make any excuses On
that basis.
One OF the most interesting comments on
the race was made this afternoon by Mr..
Butler Duncan OF the Constitution who
summed up the contest by saving that II
seemed practically to settle the situation,
and that the Independence could not here
after be considered a possibility as a cup
defender.
Mr.. Duncan further remarked that one
Of the most gratifying Incidents of the race
was the excellent work of the Constitu-
fton's crew in handling sails and the man.
ner in which all hands pulled together. He
was fully satisfied with the showing of the
Constitution. and the result was a great
relief.
Coming back 20 the Independence, he said
that a yacht that could not show speed in
light weather wuold be very unlikely to do
better under heavier conditions of wind and
sea.

quarry Saturday at noon found suit of
boys clothing and cap on the bank.

Friday was the weakest day known in these
securities for nine months. The depression
In industrials was increased by a statement
that the coke syndicate had decided to raise
the restriction Of output to one-third. hav-
ing only recently raised it to one-fourth.
The new raise is due to the declining con-

The weeks reports from industrial centers
were more unfavorable and worse than were
expected. the declines ranging for iron
shares from 8 to is points and for coal
shares to % points. Other industrial secur-
tiles fell of correspondingly.
Bank shares declined from to points
and provincial banks suffered heavily. Ac.
complaining the weeks deroute was grow
ing cheapness and abundance in money. the
private rate of discount declining to 8 pei
cent Nevertheless. the discounting business
was extremely difficult. owing to the great
caution exercised by lenders. This caused
extraordinary pressure at the Reichsbank.
The official press begins to express fear
lest the official rate Of discount be raised
owing to the last unfavorable settlement.

morning with several companions for the
purpose Of playing baseball on a common
at the foot of Osceola street. The boys
who were to play with them failed to ap-

suggested a swim in the quarry. Hohen-
stein was the first to dive into the pond.
He appeared on the surface almost i'm
mediately and showed signs of distress,
then sank out of sight. His friends thought
that he was joking. and It was several
minutes before they realized his danger.
Bachler ard Leindecker plunged in after
the sinking form, fully dressed. They failed
to catch Hohenstein. and when he failed to
come to the surface dived after him several

MUST REMAIN IN PRISON.
Americans Captured in South Afri.
ca Cannot Be Released at O1ce.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. July 7.--Americans fighting
In the Boer armies made prisoners by the
British will have to endure their captivity
until the close of the South African war.
Great Britain has declined to comply with
the request of this Government to release an
American now confined in the island of Cey-
Ion. and this declination Will probably prove
a bar to further representations by the State
Department in behalf of Americans captured
as belligerents in South Africa.
The test case was that Of q naturalized
American named Morgan, who claims resi-
dence in Virginia. Sir Alfred Miner. the
British High Commissioner in South Africa,
disapproves of the release CT foreigners who
fought with the Beers. He has announced
that person who serves as a belligerent
with the Boer forces loses his nationality
and must be treated as an enemy.
This view Is concu-red in BY the legal
officers Of the State Department. The only
hardship that Americans captured in South
Africa will. have to undergo will! be that
of confinement until hostilities cease.
In order to secure prompt settlement of
claims filed by American citizens for per-
Sonal and property damages sustained in
South Africa as Il result of the operations
of the British troops, the State Department
has officially requested all claimants I, is
sue memorials setting forth the facts in
connection with their claims. which will be
transmitted through Ambassador Choate
to the British Claims Commission, now sit
ting in London.
