1t Appears Earlier Than Usual and
Is Very Fatal.
Washington, July S.-Consul Johnson, at
Annoy. China, reports to the Secretary
of State the appearance of plague at that
place two weeks earlier than usual this
year. His statement is dated May IA.
He says he has refused to permit Chinese
steerage passengers to depart for Manila
and adds:
"The spread of plague during the past
ten days has been rapid and the fatalities
most appalling. 1t is impossible to give
approximately accurate data, as no sta
tistics are kept by the officials and no
amount of inquiry can result in accurate
figures. 1t Is my opinion based upon the
most reliable data from native sources.
that during the week just closed there
were as many as 100 deaths per day in
Annoy and it's suburbs. The same condi-
tion of affairs exists In surrounding cities
within thirty miles of Annoy"
The representative of the marine hos
pital service at Hong Kong also reports
the earlier appearance Of the disease In
that city and a more rapid spread than
usual. He says that several Europeans
have been attacked.

YACHT is A WONDER
CONSTITUTION SAILS AWAY AS IF
THEY WE'RE MOoRED.
SHE BEATS BOTH HER RIVALS.
PUTS THE INDEPENDENCE ENTIRE
LY OUT OF BUSINESS.

Ae8teTuHy EVEN
More Remarkable Than on satur-
day-Was in Light Airs That She
SaiIed-COlumbia Beaten by Near
ly n Half and the independence by
Nearly a Whole Hour-COnstitution
Overcame All Obstacles.
Newport, r. l., July S.-If the victory
of the Constitution over the Columbia
and the Independence in the first of the
three-cornered races on Saturday was sig
nificant and definite. her winning to-day
may we'll be characterized as overwhelm-
ing, and the defeat of the independence
as positive and almost hopeless. The ap-
proach of evening again found the COM
mittee boat anchored far out in Nara
gansett bay, along with the boat which
marked the other end of the finish line,
waiting for the Boston boat 10 cross,
while her rivals were we'll up the harbor
on the way to their moorings.
The new Herreshoff boat had beaten the
Columbia by nearly half an hour over the
thirty-miie course, while the record
against the Independence was almost a
full hour She came near travelling around
alton was covering two legs of it. To-
days race establishes the new Bristol
sloop as a record breaker in light airs.
She has accomplished what yachtsmen
considered impossible in thus beating the
Columbia, while her performance has put
the Independence entirely out of the run
ming in conditions like those of to-day.
What her showing may be in heavy
weather is still a matter of conjecture.
The Constitution a Wonder.
There was haze and dampness and an
unpreposessing outlook generally at the
start, but the Constitution overcame ev-
cry obstacle that offered in the way of
fiukes and doldrums, and sailed with tact
and skill, won out at the first mark by
ten minutes and thirty-seven seconds
over Columbia. That great yacht never
before had such a humiliating experience.
On the next leg, a reach of ten miles,
with only gentle zephyr blowing on the
starboard beam with a fine reaching jib
topsail set to whatever airs might come
her way, she sailed faster than
the wind, and by superior skill and
ability worked her self through what
seemed to be an almost inextricable
tangle of haze, grassy ground swell and
dead calms to an extraordinary achieve
ment. She rounded the leesward mark
eight minutes and forty-two seconds
ahead of Columbia. And then, scnrryina
faster than the wind. which never during
the racing to-day exceeded the force OF
six-knot air, she made the crowning
record of her history by sailing over the
ten knots in 40 minutes and 46 seconds,
beating Columbia over the whole course
2S minutes and seconds and IndoDea- :
dence one hour, Is minutes and 81 seconds.

Washington, July s.-The resignation of
James G.. Stowe. United States consul
general to Cape Town. has been received

PIatt Amendment.


Washington, July SIT was ascertained
at the War Department to-day that it IS
not the intention of this government to

ernment. Under this clause the United
States will determine when the debt
either contracted or assumed has reached
limit. 1t is stated. that the independence
of Cuba carries with 1t the right to create
obligations and to incur indebtedness
with these limitations.
