How Beirut Was Watched

Correspondence of Associated Press
Beirut, Syria, Tuesday, Sept. S.--As
this dispatch is mailed the situation at
Beirut remains unchanged, there being
great feeling of uncertainty.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press called on board the United States
cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco
yesterday and found them armed camps
The blue jackets and marines were In
readiness to land at a moments notice.
Ammunition filed their belts and arms
worn t 'cked on the deck. Rear Admiral
So. lG Informed the correspondent
t4gl ne was prepared to give the Amer
leans and Europeans in general the full
est protection possible.
Guards to watch the American mis-
sion property here were furnished by
the government last night. Had the
governor refused Admiral Cotton stood
prepared to land 500 mon if necessary.
The American ships played their search
lights on the city, Illuminating not
alone the property OF the Syrian Pro-
testant college, but also the dark alleys
and byways frequented as rule by
shady characters. Foreign residents
had not at the beginning Of the troubles
felt any great personal danger, but the
attempts to assassinate the American
vice-cousul, Magelssen, followed by the
attempt of an armed Moslem, with two
accomplices, to force entrances into the
home of an American resident were in
cidents not calculated to give any ono
q too great sense of security, and the
arrival of the American cruisers In the
midst of these troubles brought great
relief especially to foreign residents OF
the city.
1t is difficult for native Christian to
understand why his people are Per
mittee to be put to death when shot
or two from the cruisers lying In the
harbor and representing Christian ma
ton, strong and mighty, might settle
the whole question. He does not stop to
reason about international law, the
right of other nations, and the policies
of conservative governments. He only
knows that his people are dying and
that hee at hand are means which
might save them from death.

ABOUT $4,000 BET ON
FIGHT IN THIS CITY.

For the first time since young Cor
bett' and Terry McGovern were
matched to fight IN San Francisco,
sporting men in this vicinity last night
began betting on the result. At every

two great little lighters.
McGovern was made an TO 10 favor
lite by the bettors. About seven out of
ten men who bet were believers in Nc
Governs ability to win. There was 30
much McGovern money In sight that for
a time 1t looked as if the South Brook
lyn fighter would be made TO 10 shot.
The first man TO bet on Terry was j.
r, Thorley. At the Hotel Metropole he
made two bets of $3.50 to 500. He said
he; had 81, 900 more TO bet.
Some other bets made were as follows:
Jack Claxton. of Buffalo. wagered 81 900
to $500 on McGovern with Mike Vein
"Corbett." Johnny Considine bet alto
gether 50, 200 on "Corbett." There were
any number of bets made at $50 TO $40.
s25 TO $50, $50 to SIS, and SO on.
Early this morning Johnny Considine
received the following telegram from
Young Corbett:"

surely win. YOUNG CORBETT."
After Considine read the telegram he
said:
II had only intended betting $1,000 on

WASHINGTON, March 31.-There was
really no interest in the races at Ben
nings yesterday. In fact after the tnira
race attention to the races became per-
functory. Every one wanted TO know the
result of the Montgomery Handicap at
Memphis. They wanted to know If the
champion of the West, McChesney, had
won or had been beaten.
Heard from the handicap YETI" was
the question fired at the telegraph oper-
ators at the track until they grew wear!
aud hung up big sign like this:
mo, the handicap is not In yet"
This STAYED OFF the auiries for some
time, but along about 4.s0 O'Clock some
one started the report that Witful mad
won. The crowd descended upon the
operators like a cloud of locusts omy
to find the sign still hanging. Down in
the ring quite a number OF wagers
were made. Sol Lichtenstein made one
bet of $500 to 5000 that McChesney
would not win and all other bets were
on the same order. The Interest was
in McCheSney.
Up to the time of the last race the re-
suit had not been learned. But several
hundred of the regulars waited for the
news. Ii was about $50 O'Clock when
the operator said.
'Tneyre Off at Mempnis."
The crowd, which had been buzzinS
and chatting, became silent.
