81 MILES AN HOUR.
Marcel Renault Makes Remarkable
Run in Automobile Race.

Vienna, June 29.-The Paris-Vienna au-
tomobile race was won by Marcel Rem
ault. He covered the distance from Paris
to Vienna in fifteen hours and twenty
two minutes, at an average speed of
eighty-two kilometers( about fifty-one
miles) an hour. Zeborowski was second,
Maurice Farman third, Baras fourth, Ed
mond fifth, Hemery sixth. Baron de
Forest who was seventh, was disquali-
fled on account OF an accident to his mo-
tor car. S. T. Edge. an Englishman,
was the twentieth to arrive. He denies
reports circulated to the effect that he
was disqualified and cites as proof that
ne was declared the winner of the James
Gordon Bennett cup.
Three of the contestants claim to have
won. Rerault passed the winning point
precisely at . o'clock. He was disqual-
flied, however, for having failed to stop
at the control station of Florisdorf,
suburb of Vienna, where final racing
time was to be taken. Instead, he DASH
ed madly through the crowd of officials
and time keepers and entered Vienna at
full speed scattering vehicles and Pc
destrians in all directions and arriving
at the Prater in IS minutes instead of
although he arrived second, is believed
to be too heavily handicapped by his
previous days performance to win first
place. 1t is expected that Maurice Far
man will attain the coveted honor, his
brother Henry coming second The de-
cision will probably be delayed three
days owing to the complicated calcula-
tions arising from the speed restrictions
imposed upon the contestants in Swift
erland and elsewhere along the route.
The final stage of the race was favored
with glorious weather.
Much sympathy was expressed over
the i'll luck which befell the American
representatives. The Engfisnmen who
took part in the contest were also unfor
tunate, 1t is asserted that Edge, who
was believed to nave won the James Cor
don Bennett prize, will be disqualified on
account of having received help from
some peasants in extricating his ma
chine from a bad place in the road
This Edge denies.
A striking feature of the race has been
the successful endurance or the light
cars. especially in mountain work.

NEGROES OF CUBA
WANT MORE RIGHTS
Hold Public Meeting in Havana
to Discuss Subject
HELPED FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
One Speaker Says After Doing So
Much He Felt Ashamed to Have
to Speak In Behalf of the
Black Race.

Havana, June GA meeting of the ne
gro elemt Mt in Havana at which Juan
Gualaberto Gomez, president, was held
here today. 1t was claimed that this meet
ing represented all the negro organiza-
lions of Cuba
Addressing the meeting Senior Rendon
said the negroes of Cuba were being de-
scribed as being disturbers Of the peace
because they were asking for their just
rights. The negro, he SAID had no in
tention Of rebelling, but II the people Of
Cuba were not united they could not hold
out against the Americans. If the Amer
leans invested capital In Cuba they would
lso bring their own laborers and man
ayers of estates. The United States
needed Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii as
places to send the negroes of that coun-
try. II the downfall of the United
States ever occurred, declared Senior Rem
don, 1t would be due to the negroes.
Continuing the speaker averred that 1t
YVES being said that the negroes of Cuba
pre- posed to rice against the white people
of the island. This, he declared to be
Utterly false. The negroes only wanted
ment could not harmonic the two races
the republic would be failure.
Senior Rendon was followed by Senior
Lanchez, who later said that after so
much fighting for liberty, he felt asham-
ed to have to speak in behalf Of the black
race whose condition in Cuba, neverthe-
less, was one of servitude. He declared
that honest and capable negroes were not
given positions on the Havana police
force, and that Notwithstanding this the
police contained a great number Of thieves
who were white
Senior Marquette said that when negroes
asked for places on the police force eff
forts were made to discredt them by in
ducing a number of worthless negroes to
apply for positions and that 1t was then
said all the negro applicants were unde-
sirable.
Juan Gualberto Gomez said that the
negroes were initially excluded from the
Havana police force at the instance Of
the late General Ludlow who, when he
was military governor of the city, argued
that in the beginning of American inter-
vention in Cuba the 1000 American troops
in Havana were mostly recruited from
the Southern states; that these troops
were largely composed of doubtful char
acters and that If negroes had been adj
mitted to the police force disorder be-
tween the troops and the colored police
men would have been certain.
General Gomez explained that this had
been only temporary arrangement that
the American troops in question had long
in Cuba claimed equality with the
whites
