CUBAN COAST SURVEY

Naval Surveys Disclose Most Avnil-
ablc Harbors and Conling stations.
Washington. June s.-The naval sur
veys which have been i'll progress for
some time along the coast of Cuba have
disclosed the most available harbors for
coaling and naval stations, in case these
are established in connection with the
Piatt amendment. The Eagle. Yankton
and Vixen have been conducting these
surveys for many months, and most of
the main harbors are now completed
Probably the most important points are
Cape San Antonio, at the extreme west
ern extremity of Cuba, and Cape Maysi,
at the extreme eastern end. AT Cape
Maysi 1t has been found that there is a
reef running far out into the water. and
that there Is no suitable harbor within
about forty miles from the cape The
bay of Nipe appears to afford the most
available harbor IN that locality. Az the
other extremity of the island it has been
found that Cape San Antonio has no
.harbors of any kind IN Its Immediate
vicinity suitable for naval or coaling
station. This locality is regarded as ex-
tremely important from naval and
strategic standpoint, as 1t commands
the Yucatan passage. Most of the large
harbors along the northern and southern
coasts have been surveyed and char
tered, those of Cienfuegos and Guam
tanamo, apparently, beii.g among the
best on the southern coast. The sur
veys have proceeded without any refer
ence to the political questions relating
10 Cuba, altho the work already accom-
srlished will be serviceabe when these
political relations are finally determined.

Evelyn b. Baldwin arrived in ST. Louis

which he Is able to steer TO some extent

Mr.. Baldwin and his companion ex-

In commenting on the balloon trip Mr..

hilarating experience in his life. and that
it brought strongly 10 his mind the polar

panions who Went northward two years

Washington, June s.--The United

to the powers to submit the present is
sues at Pekin over the indemnity propo-

ing for an opportunity, capled Secretary
Hay last night for permission to make

THE INDEPENDENCE BARRED.
Lawson's Yacht Not to Compete In
TRIAL Rncau

New York. June s.-The yacht Inde-
pendence. the hope and pride of Thomas
w. Lawson. Will not be allowed to COM
pete in the trial races preliminary TO
the races for the Americas cup.
This bit of information was conveyed
to Mr.. Lawson yesterday in letter, the
tones of which, If not insolent. are at
least considered outside the lines of ma
rine etiquette.
The challenge committee held meet
ing yesterday afternoon and talked the
matter over. Some of the members
talked as if the silver bauble over which
there have been International contests
for so many years. was the exclusive
property of an exclusive set Of shallow
water sailors, and acted as IL they were
afraid that Mr.. Lawson's boat might
keep 1t on this side of the water and
carry 1t over TO Boston.
Mr.. Lawson cares no more for the cup
than full-rigged ship cares for brides

and martingales. His only idea of en-
tering boat in the race was to make
the contest more interesting and lend
his assistance toward keeping the
trophy in America.
But the challenge committee, looking
thru dead eye, couldn't see the small
ness of its refusal to let the Indepen-
dence compete, and the handsome flyer
which cost Mr.. Lawson half a million
dollars. must remain at anchor. while
another boat, built by money fairly
wrung from the bank accounts of men
against whom Mr.. Lawson's is mite,
will have the honor of defending the
trophy. which everybody hereapouts
hopes Sir Thomas Upton will life" and
carry trumphantly back to the shores
from which it was taken over half
century ago.
The last two paragraphs of the letter
to Mr.. Lawson explain the attitude of
the New York Yacht Club. They are:
1T is evident that further discussion
can serve no useful purpose. and the
committee therefore must decline to
pursue the subject further with you.
If a member of this club notifies the
secretary that he has chartered the In
dependence or that he has accepted a
transfer of her, it will be for such mem
Der to enter her for such events as she
may be qualified to enter"
Seemingly the last paragraph in itself
might open way in which the Indepen-
dence might be entered. but as matter
of fact 1t is stated there is no member
of the New York Yacht Club today
who would accept a charter or transfer
of the boat owned by Mr.. Lawson under
any circumstances. Therefore she is
shut out absolutely from participating
in the race.
After a meeting of the challenge com
mittee it was decided to return to
Mr. Lawson his proposition to charter
the Independence to number of New
York Yacht Club gentlemen who COM
prise the challenge committee.
