RENAULT FIRST IN VIENNA
WINNER OF THE AUTOMOBILE RACE
FROM PARIS.

Vienna, June 29.-The Paris-Nienna auto
mobile won by Marcel Renault He
covered the distance from Paris 10 Vienna IN
fifteen hours and twenty-five minutes, at an
average speed of eghty-two kilometres about
ifty-one miles) hour
Zborowski was second. Maurice Farman third
Baras fourth Edmond fifth and Hamary sixth
Baron de Forest, who was seventh. was dis
qualified. On account of accident to his
motor car 5. F. Edge, Englishman, was the
twentieth to arrive. He denies reports circu-
lated to the effect that he disqualified, and
cites proof that he was declared winner OF
the James Gordon Bennett Cup
Three of the contestants in the race claim to
have won Renault passed the winning point
precisely at o'clock. He disqualified now
ever, for having failed to stop at the controi
station at Florisdorf. a suburb of Vienna across
the Danube where the final racing time was 10

crowd of officials and timekeepers and entered
Vienna at full speed, scattering vehicles anu
pedestrians in all directions and arriving at the
Prater in eighteen minutes, instead OF IN the
prescribed minimum of forty-fve minutes from
F1oriSdorf.
Zborowsky. although he arrived second, is be-
Iieved TO be too heavily handicapped by his
previous days performances, to win hrst place.
L is expected that Maurice Farman will attain
the coveted honor, his brother Henry coming IN
second The decision will probably be delayed
three days owing to the complicated calculd-
tions arising from the speed restrictions imposed
upon the contestants in Switzerland and else
where along the route.
The final stage of the race was Favored with
glorious weather. Spectators lined the route tor
many miles into the country. The Austrian
Automobile Club received the racers at the
Prater, where thousands of persons had Sath-
cred and cheered the arrivals.
Much sympathy expressed over the Ill
luck which befell the American representatives.
The Englishmen who took part in the contest
were also unfortunate. 1t is asserted that Edge'
who was believed TO have won the James Cor
don Bennett prize, will be disqualined on ac-
count of having received help from some peas

ing into the charges of cruelty, etc brought by
Major Cornelius Gardener, Governor OF the
Province of Tayabas against American officers
and soldiers, being desirous of completing It's
sittings. held a session to-day.
The recorder objected 10 the admission as evil
dence of addresses from Filipinos, on the
ground that these were merely buncombe anu
not worthy of consideration. He said that every
regiment deluged with such addresses, the
worst regiments getting the most praise He
said that Major Gardener should have called the
atlantis when he was at Lucena. in Tayahas
Province and that the court would personally
undertake to obtain six hundred afidavits re-

the board had allowed the affidavits presented
by Major Gardener, but refused to receive more
Major Gardener. continuing his testimony,
said he had considered his original report to be
strictly confidential and for Secretary of War
Root, and that since he wrote this report, and
during the present investigation, he had heard
testimony. which he presumed TO be true. which
had he heard before might have caused him
materially to have altered his report. He said
that insurgent troops might have been tenn
porary disbanded and hidden and no one eX-
cept themselves COgnZant of their existence.
Regarding the alleged cases of outrages com
mtted by five soldiers, Major Gardener said he
did not desire to bring these cases before the
board and that they probably were not true,
although he had made his report in good taith'
as the original affidavits proved.
Regarding the charge that American sol
diers in the summer and fall of 1901 had
administered the water cure to natives,
Major Gardener said that he received
information to this effect from deputations of
citizens from towns near which the cure was
said to have been given.

VIEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE CALMLY.
FRENCH PRESS THINKS TARIFF QUESTIONS
HAVE ENFEEBLED THE BOND.

Paris June 29-The French press halls the
renewal OF the Triple Alliance between Ger
many. Austria Hungary and Italy. which was
effected by the signing of treaty IN Berlin
Yesterday morning by the Imperial Chancellor
of Germany, Count Won Bulow. and the Austrian
and italian Ambassadors to Germany, with con-
siderable equanimity, and expresses the oelIet
that the strength of the alliance has been much
enfeebled by dssensions with regard 10 tariff
questions and a better understanding between
Italy and France The press considers, moreover
that the existence of Franco Russian alliance
deprlves the Triple Alliance of it's originally ag-
gressive character. The Temps" says:
tariff war is about TO graft itself on this
pOtical alliance, and the future VIII teach US
how far an economic war is compatible with
diplomatic understanding. Recent develop
ments have singularly modified, II not the cor
diality and intimacy between the powers OF the
Triple Alliance, at least the erficacy ana prac-
tical value Of the league.
LIE Journal des Debats' Is convinced that the
new alliance Will not be the same as the old
one either in spirit or letter, and recalls the
dee Iarations Of Signor Prinetti, the Italian Min
ister of Foreign Affairs, in the Italian Chamber
of Deputies that mo military or diplomatic
conventions will be appended to the new treaty
This paper concludes by saying:
The Triple Alliance has been renewed under
unfayora BILE conditions, and these should be
taken into account only in considering its
present renewal. but with regard to the pros
poets of a further renewal of the alliance later.
