OWING TO ILL HEALTH.
Emperor William Withdraws Cup fol
Yacht Race.

Berlin, Nov. 30.-Emperor William
has withdrawn his offer of a cup for a
transatlantic yacht race in 1904. on
account of his health, and has substi-
tuted for it the offer of cup to be
raced for in 1905
The emperor, through his represen-
tative, cabled his decision to the Amer
ican yachtsmen during the day with
his reasons for the postponement.
These are that the prolonged period of
the emperor's recovery and the conse-
quent accumulation of all business has
prevented him from receiving his
yachting advisers to arrange the de-
tails of a transatlantic race until it
was too late for the designers and
builders to have new yachts ready for
a contest in the spring of 1904.

ask the United States to aid ii in put
ting down the revolution on the 18TH

conduct our own affairs free from out
side interference. The Colombian
government can put down the revolu-
tion without violating a letter of the

that we always have respected and ad-
hered to and not to the treaty as in
terpreted in these later days. If the
United States maintains a neutral po-
sition the revolution will be put
down"
When his attention was called to
the reports from Panamaian and other
sources that he had come to Washing
ton to conduct a lobby to defeat the
ratification of the treaty he said en-
phatically:
Il authorize the Associated Press to
say for me at the outset of my visit
that my movements here shall be
strictly in accordance with the pow
ers with which | am clothed. | shall
deal with the Off cials of the Washing
ton government direct, to whom | bear
