VEsUVIUs CA USING ALARM.
Eruptions ofthe Volcano Very Heavy Yesterday.

Rome, Aug. 1S.-Vesuvius is again
 causing intense alarm in the surround ing region, the eruptions of the volcano
 being very heavy to-day. This alarm
 ing activity, which followed the shocks |of earthquake, is augmenting. The |detonations are very loud and almost continuous, while from a fresh opening at the base of the principal crater two streams of lava are issuing, which within few hours covered a wide tract
 of ground. One stream has covered
 ground already arid from previous eruptions, but the other is going swiftly towards the village of Ottajano, the di- Irection taken by the famous eruptions of 1872.
 The whole district around the volcano lis shaken by frequent earth shocks and a perfect panic prevails, the population crowding to churches to pray or gath- ering in open spaces for safety. Ex- perts, however, affirm that so far there lis no reason to fear a serious disaster.

Bar Harbor, Me, Aug. 13.-The injur- les to the battleship Massachusetts caused by striking on Egg Rock shoal yesterday are more serious than the first examination indicated. Not only are the forward compartments full of water. but the ship is leaking further aft and divers have been at work all day trying to locate the defective part. The collier Lebanon and a goy- ernment tug has been alongside nearly all day. and have taken on board all the ammunition. anchors and heavy stores, in order to tighten the ship for ward. She now floats in natural posi- tion. but is drawing about ten inches more water than usual. Considering the great weight that was taken from her by the collier and tug 1t is very evident that an enormous quantity Of water must be inside in order to put a ship of her size down ten inches. Late this afternoon the Indiana, Massachu- sets, Lebanon and Hartford came down to the lower harbor and anchored. The Massachusetts anchored near Bald Por- cupine It is said that the object in changing was to get into more shallow water where. in case the water tight bulkheads gave way or the leak be- comes more serious the ship would not sink in deep water Captain Eaton has not Leen instructed as to what will be done with the ship, but it is evident that she. will remain here until the extent of the. injuries can be definitely learned.
 This morning Captain Emory of the Ineiana, who is the ranking officer here, convened board of inquiry. Their ffnJinss will be reported to Washington. 1t is evident that the injuries to the Massachusetts are serious.

 The 2:0S pace brought out fast field, in which Joe Pointer sold for $20O and the field $12O, the strong tip in the field being Nervolo in the Scot Hudson sta- ble. Neryolo won the first heat in a close finish by a head from the favorite. In the second heat. when the starter said "Go" the recall bell also rang. Hudson pulled up a little and then went on an easy mile, Sufreet beating Joe Pointer out. In the deciding heat Sufreet led to the three-quarter pole when Nervolo came up and in close finish won by a neck. Judge Greene in the 2:23 trot reeled it off in straight heats With quite a little to spare. Ma jor Delmar did not trot to beat the worlds record but went against his own record.

CANADA LOSES CUP.
Amerfcan Challenger Takes the Last
 Three Races

Toronto, Ontario, Aug. 13.The Iron- dequoit, the American challenger for the Canada,s cup, to-day won the de- ciding race of the series, thus wrestling the trophy from across the water. It will now rest in the Rochester Yacht club until some Canadian boat shall bring 1t back.
 To-day's race was triangular one, Ito windward and the other two reaches, the last one rather close-hauled owing l to the shifting of the wind, The breeze at the start was light, but grew heavier as it shifted. Though the weather was not to the Irondequoit's liking, tn ziS---. n--- iting was to on her. Hannah on the Irondequoit had the
 better of Jarvis on the Strathcona in jockeying for the start and the Aneri- can yacht went flying across the line with 3 small lead, which she increased steadily to the first mark. The Strathcona gained thirty seconds on her rival on the second leg and some had hopes that she would possibly over- haul the other on the reach home. She needed distance, however, to cut down the lead in such stern chase. Within. four miles of the finish her case was hopeless.
 The credit for the victory is accorded by all to Arthur Hannah, of New York, the Corinthian sailor, who was called here to take charge after the profess siona1 skipper, Captain Barr had lost the first two races.

Manchester, Mass, Aug. 13.-The golf ing honors were even to-day between England and America in the contest over the Essex County links, the OK ford and Cambridge team beating the Massachusetts aggregation in the four-ball match in the morning by a score of points to 2, and being defeat ed in the afternoon ina two-ball match, 6 to 5, which left the score at the end of the days play at eight points for each side.
 After winning the four-ball match in the morning by close margin, the de- ciding point being only won on the twentieth green by the last pair. 1t was generally believed that the visitors would take the afternoon two-ball com. petition with ease. But the hard work of the past three days told on them considerably and they tired perceptibly toward the end. At one time in the latter part of the afternoon the Ameri- cans had the lead five points to one, and there was every indication of their winning not only that contest, but the entire days events. But the next five matches were well fought out, and the visitors succeeded in winning four of them, which left them only one point behind the Americans, even when counting in the morning score. The All Massachusetts team was picked some time ago and proved to be a slir- prisingly strong collection of golfers. They held the Englishmen rnarkably well, and in one or two cases beat them decisively.
