 the wretohed showing of the Amsri-

 Grand Stand, Ballyshannon. Ireland, July 2.-The international race for the James Gordon Bennett cup was run to-day and won by Jenatzy, member of the German team. who covered the distance of 37Os miles in s hours 36 rlin-i utes and seconds. including the stops imposed by the regulations. Two mem bers of the French team ran each other so close for second place that 1t willsnot' be known until Friday whether de Kynff or Farman is entitled to the hon or. Only one minute divided them, and it is thought likely that de Knyff's claim to second place will be upheld.
 The most remarkable features of the great race were It's practical immunity from serious accidents and Wretched showing by the American team. At Ballyshannon, which is three-quarters of the race. no news had been received tonight of any one being injured ex-s cept one of the contestants, the English crack Jarrott, and his chauffeur. Jar rott had a miraculous escape from death and now lies with a broken collar bone and a badly bruised body. His cilauf-i feur also has fractured collar bone, besides a broken leg. Both, however, are doing we'll The accident occurred through the steering gear of the favor-i ite English car getting out of order. when going at full speed. Instead of turning a corner the automobile ran straight into the bank at the side of the road and was smashed clean in two. How the occupants escaped death is more than they themselves can explain. Stocks, another Englishman, had his car
 disabled through the same cause, but was not hurt.
 Baron de Carters. after making a splendid race, broke the axle of his car, and Foxhall Keene retired because of a similar accident. Mooers and Winton, of the American team. both failed to finish owing to Arrangement in the mechanism of their cars and Owen, the third member of the team, only com pleted five out of the seven laps of the race. Thus only five out of twelve start CTS completed the course. One of these Dodge, the holder of the cup, came in Hong after the race was officially deciar- ed over.
 The poor showing of the American competitors Is generally attributed to the excessive lightness of their cars. Owen, who made the best showing among them, when the race was over, said he could not blame the roads. II guess the reason was beaten is the same as that of the other fellows who were defeated by the daring German All the arrangements for the race worked well, and the Irish peasants to- night are once more venturing on the roads, though with fearful eyes and keen ears for the roar of the motors as they come down the hills of Kildare. ! The Frenchmen received some conso- lation in mt getting the cup by gain ing the prize offered by the Hon. J. Scott Montague, M. P., to the team whose members all finished.
 The general opinion expressed by the British authorities, including the Earl lof Mayo and Henry Norman, M. P, is that the race was the most successful ever run and is likely to do much to remove the antagonism towards similar contests. 55

WILL RECALL TROOPS.
Heavy Artillery to Be Withdrawn
From Cuba.


washington, Dec. 1.-THE joint
Army and Navy Board, which recently
visited the United States naval stations
at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda,
Cuba, has reported that it will be at
least year before either of these sta
tions will be ready for a coast artil-
lery force. In view of this report, the
War Department has determined to
withdraw the artillery companies now
at Hanava and Santiago and keep
them in the United States until such
time as they are needed at the naval
stations The companies at Santiago
are the Seventeenth and Nineteenth,
and at Hanava the twentieth ana
Twenty secOnd.
The reasons assigned by Lieut.. Gen.
Young, chief of staff, and by Maj. Gen.
Chaffee, his assistant for bringing the
four artillery companies back to the
United States are the condition of the
water supply at Havana and Santiago,
and the lack of appropriations for for
LITIGATION of the two naval stations at
Guantanamo and Bahia Honda. Gen.
Chaffee, who was a member of the
joint Army and Navy Board, which
recently made a visit to Cuba on the
Buffalo, emphatically denied the sug-
gestion that Cuba might have indicat-
ed a wish for the recall of the troops.
Quartern1aster General Murphy is
making preparations for bringing them
back and will utilize the transport
Sumner now at New York for this
purpose. 1t is the present determine
ton to have them depart from
Cuba within the next fifteen days. One
of the companies will be sent to Fort
Cahwell, one to Fort Washington, Md,
and the other to Fort BarancaS, Fla.

ADMITTED ABUSES
IN GERMAN ARMY.
Minister of War Discussed Them in
the Reichstag.

the Reichstag.
Berlin, Dec. lin the Reichstag to-
day War Minister Won Einem entered
earnestly into the charges of brutality
and immortality, brought against Ger
man army officers, without attempting
to eXculpate them. He admitted there
had been abuses and declared the army
administration was determined to cor
rect them so far as possible. Nobody
regretted the evils more than Emperor
William, who never lost an opportunity
to impress the seriousness of the Of
lenses that had been brought to light.
Referring to Lieut.. Bilson's book "A
Little Garrison" Ceiling of alleged ac-
tons ascribable to officers. for writing
which the lieutenant was sentenced to
six months Imprisonment and to dis
missal from the army, the war min
lister said it contained a certain amount
of truth, but it was not true that every
lieutenant in the small garrisons lived
as Bilson had described. The minister
did not deny the possibility of corrupt
relations between officers and women
in a few cases. but the assertion that
such were the rule was SANDER
against German womanhood.
Regarding the brutalities, the minis
ter declared that such incidents We're
not wholly inexplicable. There was the
bad private soldier. as well as the bad
sergeant, and the bad private was
largely responsible for the whole diff
Guilty, succeeding by the most devil
ish ingenuity to so embitter the nom
commissioned officers that the latter
finally vented their anger upon the
weaklings." This type of private had
always existed. and was more common
under Social Democratic influences.
Herr Richter, discussing the manner
in which private soldiers were handled,
said what incensed him to the highest
degree was that a single non-commis-
stoned officer could commit 1900 in
stances of maltreatment and that too
in the Gard du Corps. If such thing
were possible in the Guards, who were
often under the Emperors eyes, to
what extent, asked the speaker, must
this system of matreatment be carried
on in troops of the line in remote re-
gions.

Yankee knows how to stop that BUSH
ness"
Never Interfered Before.

Mr. Williams, the minority leader,
following, charged that this was the
tlrst time that this government had
nterfered in the domestic affairs of a
South American country. The Demo-
Gratis want a canal he said. They
wanted the Nicaraguan canal, but if
they could not get the canal where
they thought it ought to be, they would
take it where they could get it, and
take it as they might get it. He
thought possibly the Nicaraguan route
was regarded as too great a COMPETE
tor of the sentimental railways
He said the Democrats are not proud
OF the part this government has taken
but they must recognize a fact as a
fact.
Mr.. Williams said that virtually it
had been confessed that if Colombia
dares land a soldier in the newborn
republic of Panama-"new born with
the birth foreseen and aided, as ] be-
lieVe, aided from Paris, and aided
from Washington"-the United States
will treat it as an act of war.
IF the Democratic party and few
Republicans had not hedged up and
bound this government in the two
clauses, which compel us to give Cuba
her freedom and independence, you
would have treated Cuba as you treat
ed the Philippines. AS to the new re-
public of Panama, I am satisfied that
the most deliberate, long reviewed,
well thought out project ever complet-
ed or ever thought of since the world
began is the birth of Panama and our
connection with it,"
The House adjourned until Monday.

WE'RE FEDERAL OFFICERS.
The Court Sustnins the Act of Laing
and Hurt.

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 11.-United
States Judge John Jay Jackson to-day
decided the habeas corpus case of John
Laing and Stewart Hurt, holding that
they were federal officers, acting under
process of the United States Court,
when they killed John Hairless, and,
therefore, justified and not amenable
to the state courts.
Laing is an operator and Hurt is in
his employ They accompanied Dep
uty Marshal Cunningham last winter
to arrest John Hairless, a leader among
the striking miners, for whom Cum
ningham had a rule in contempt for
violating United States Judge Keller's
blanket injunction" Hairless fled
when Cunningham and others APP
preached his house. AS he went by
Laing, Hurt fired and killed him,
claiming self-defense, as Hairless, with
a revolver in hand, was defying ar
rest.
Laing and Hurt were held in Raleigh
county Jail and denied bail. After
their indictment a writ of habeas COR
pus was sued out in the United States
Court At first Judge Sanders of the
state court refused to obey the writ,
but afterwards allowed the marshal
to take the men from the county Jail.
Judge Jackson heard the case last
June, reserving decision until to-day.
Attorneys for the state and the
United Mine Workers of America, who
were prosecuting Laing and Hurt,
gave notice of appeal and Judgment
was suspended to give them time to
prepare the proper papers. This will
be done by tomorrow morning and
the case will go to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals.

ST. LOUIS AND CHICAGO
THE LEADING CLAIMANTS
For the Next National Republican
Convention.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE National
Republican Committee, presided over
by Senator NJ. A. Hanna, met at the
Arlington Hotel to-day for the purpose
of deciding the time and place for the
next National Republican Convention.
After a brief session, at which Sen
ator Hanna congratulated the commit
tee on it's past achievements and pre-
dicted future success, the committee
paid its respects to President Roosevelt
at the White House. The exchange of
greetings between the President and
the committee was most cordial. A
group picture of the committee was
taken on the White House portico, in
which the President and Senator Hanna
occupied the foreground.
When Senator Hanna called the
meeting 10 order he was greeted with
a round of applause. He expressed
briefly his thanks to the committee for
the work in the campaign of 1900, say
ing:
"All of interest to the Republican
party that centers in this meeting can
be told in one word, that is, success.
And all that is necessary to bring
about that result is to stand pat upon
the principles and policies of that
party"
A communication was read from the
chairman of the four congressional
districts in Mississippi, asking that the
call for the national convention be so
worded that the delegates from that
state can be elected according to law,
which provides that delegates must be
elected at state conventions instead OF
by districts.
A communication was received from
f. p. Deas and others of South Caro-
lima, protesting against the appoint
ment of John G. Capers as a member
of the National Commute of that
state. 1t asserted that Capers was
not a resident of South Carolina. These
communications and others of minor
importance were referred to the eXecu-
tive session of the committee.
Gen. G. r. Brayton of Rhode Island,
who had announced that he would
present a resolution for revision of the
basis of membership ip the national
convention, stated that on comforting
with members since his arrival in
Washington he had decided not to bring
up the question at this time.
st. Louis and Chicago, which seem
to be the chief rival cities, for the
convention, are maintaining head
quarters at the Arlington, and will be
given an opportunity to present their
claims at the morning session to-mor-
row.
At the White House, after brief ex-
changes between the President and
Senator Hanna, the President remark
ed, bowling to Senator Hanna:
II have sat at the feet of Gamaliel."
He then passed around the room and
shook the hand of each member. Sec
rotary Heath did not accompany the
committee to the White House.

OF All the Nations Is the Desire of

OF All the Nations Is the Desire of
Gibson of Tennessee.
Washington, Dec. 11.-Representa-
tive Gibson of Tennessee to-day intro
duced a resolution directed toward the
reduction of the naval armament of
the maritime nations of the world.
The resolution is preceded by a pre-
amble, declaring that the struggle for
superiority between the nations must
result in a continuous increase of the
armament. AS a remedy the reSolu-
ton provides that the President shall
be authorized: ITO open negotiations
with such and so many of the maritime
nations of the earth as he may deem
expedient for the purpose of formulat-
ing some international agreement
whereunder and whereby the naval ar
nament of each nation shall be re-
duced to the minimum consistent with
the adequate policing Of it's own wa
tiers and shores. and the protection Of
its own citizens in other lands; with
the international suppression of piracy,
privateering and letters of marque on
the high seas, and with the efficient en-
forcement of international obligations,
and the maintenance of the interna-
tional peace"
It also says:
"Resolved, that it is the judgment
of this Congress that all naval arma-
ments for the purposes of aggression
or menace are not justified by any pol
lev consistent with the peace of the
world. and the welfare of mankind"

MAY ASK M'ARTHUR
FOR AN EXPLANATION OF HIS WAR
TALK.
ROOT SAW NO USE OF THIS,
BUT THE CABINET DID NOT SEEM
TO AGREE.

The Secretary of War Took the
Ground That Gen. Macarthur Had
Denied in the Published Report
That He Had Expressed the
View of an Imminent War with
Germany-CabinetW Wants the Gem
eraI to Explain.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE statements
attributed to Gen. Macarthur. as con-
tanned in last nights dispatch from
Honolulu, in which he is alleged to
have predicted war in the immediate
future between the United States and
Secretary Root.
In an interview with the Associated
Press representative to-day, the Secre-
tary said that the only information he
had on the subject was what he had
seen in the newspapers. He did not,
however, regard it as a case calling
for action by him, inasmuch as the
dispatch quotes Gen. Macarthur as
saying that the statements in Col.
Jones' report to Gov. Carter did not
correctly represent his views in any
particular and utterly misrepresented
them in some.
Secretary Root made the assertion
that remarks of this character delivered
in private conversation would not nee
essarily shield an officer from the re-
quirement of an explanation, but he
said that Gen. MacArthur's denial car
ries with it the weight of an explana-
ton. He, therefore, would take no ac-
ton in the matter.
AT the meeting of the cabinet to-
day, it is said that the matter was
discussed, as a result of which it seems
likely that Secretary Root will modify
his view and, in the interest of fair
ness to Gen. Macarthur, call upon him
for an explanation upon his arrival in
the United States the latter part of
this month.
