COUNTRY TREMBLES
For the Safety of the
 Coast of Maine
The Details of the Attack Upon It and
 the Defense of It Have Been In- discreetly Given Out From Portland

Portland, Me, Aug. e4.-Preplrations for the war game were pushed by the defending foi ces today, every available tug, motor boat CT private steam launch in the harbor has been brought into reqUisition to tow the mines into position in the harbor. Maj. General Chaffee. commanding the defense made close inspection of all the defenses.
 Fort Preble is considered the key to the whole situation. If the enemy can capture Fort Preble, or even the knoll just to the westward, the other forts might have to capitulate. 2.nt if the enemy captul es all the othsr forts, Fort Preble cannot be captured ex- cept by heavy land attack, and Fort Preble still holding the key to the sit uation can drive an enemy from all ether forts, according to the defenders.
 The day light attack on the fortifica- tions probably will be a brilliant affair Probably the entire fleet under Rear Admiral Barker will participate. The ships will approach the Notifications, and as they come in range all the guns on the shore batteries will open fire.
 After the first round only one gun of each class will continue the fire with full blank charges. while the others will use caps. The ships will reply at first with q round from all the guns which can be brought to bear Aft-r that, the fire will be continued by one gun from each class.
 Later the fleet will make an attempt at landing a force of n;sn on shore. These attacks must be made between midnight Tuesday and on Friday.

PHOENIX AND TUCSON
Will Hospitably Entertain Represent
 ative Cochise Co. Outlaws.

Tombstone, Aug. "A (SpeciaD Burt Alvord and Billy Stiles will be moved from the Tombstone jail tomor- TOW morning and the former will be taken to Phoenix and the latter to Tue son for safekeeping. This move has been decided upon by the authorities on account of q rumor that if they re- main here they may be released.
 Alvord and Stiles are the two men who have alternately played the roles of officer and outlaw, both being now under indictment on charges of at tempting to rob the United States mail. Both have many friends in the county and there is a fear of sCme concerted movement in their behalf. Their op- erations in outlaw roles have been as companions, though Stiles later in- formed on Alvord, but both are desper- ate characters and no doubt ready to work tremendously again wnere their own interests are cCucerned.
 Stiles is the man who conducted a jail delivery three years ago and es- capped while awaiting trial. incidentally severely wounding Deputy Sheriff Geo. Bravin. This crime is one of the charges against him now.

Sir Thomas Conf z=t of
 the Shamrock l zay
CHALLENGER'SNFv LESS
A Set of Better Fitting Ss Which He Hopes Will Be Filled With Fav- bring Gales in the Second Race Today.

New York, Aug. 24.-After having re- moved 1,1C0 pounds of ballast and taken on board a cable and anchor weighing that much the Shamrock III was re- measured in the dry dock in Erie basin today. The net result was that there was no change in the time allowance of one minute and fifty-seven seconds which the Reliance is compelled to give her. The challenger was just three one-hundredths of a foot shorter than before the change and that difference was not sufficient to make q seconds increase or decrease in her time allow ance. Her load water-line length is now S9.IS feet and her racing length is l04.215.
 A new main boom measured today was no longer than the old one
 The new sail is Ratsey's. and Sir Thomas Lipton and Captain Wringe assert that the change is made not be- cause the other mainsail was considered inadequate. but that the new sail which has been tried before and found a good one. may be better in the style of the racing to be followed tomorrow The new mainsail when fully stretched was much better fit than the old one.
 To an Associated Press correspondent Sir Thomas Lipton said:
 "The remea surement was simply a matter of form. so that every portion of the conditions under which the race is made would be compiled with. It was the simplest thing in the world to add the anchor and chain and take out the same amount of our lead ballast. or to leave on the lead and remove the an- chor and chain. Tell me what differ ence it is. will you? Mind you. I'm not finding fault. but simply making query as to what was gained by remeasure- ment.
 Then with smile, and pointing to 9 bunch of telegrams on the table he said: 'I see I am accredited with being Respondent and unhappy over Satur- days result. Well, I'm neither. I wish We might have won, it's true, but I am not at all willing to concede that the ReHa nee is the winner My boat will make a good showing yet. l also wan it understood that I have not critic ized Captain Wringe's sailing of the Shamrock III on Saturday.
 The Shamrock III did not go out after returning from New York. The Relance's crew watched with interest the ShamrockS $ men at work on their new sail. The Reliance will go out to- morrow with q new jib. but otherwise in the same trim as the first day.

BuGa Pest, Hungary, Aug. 24.-A fire started this evening in a four-story building the two-lower stories of which were occupied by a fancy goods firm, the upper floors being residence flats.

HENRY WALTERS OPINION.
Thinks Virginia Carolina Affairs Have
 Been Well Managed.

Baltimore, Aug. 24.-Henry Walters chairman of the board of directors ot the Louisville & Nashville today said in reference to the Virginia Carolina Chemical company: The statement of the board of directors speaks fer it. self. Personally I consider the com- pany's outlook better than it as been at any time since its organiZa ton. Any concern that increases its business 26 per cent in one year is going ahead fast. In fact, this is the reason that the company had to borrow money. It ran ahead of it's working capital.
 ''The board of directors is responsible for this loan and it's terms, and it is not lodging this responsibility. The terms are private, and while there has been a good deal of guessing there is nothing to be said on the subject. Money was tight and hard to get, and :t was worth just what was paid for it. The finance company has in mind plan which will provide the additional cash working capital that is desired. Of this plan nothing can be said at present. It should not be overlooked that the com pany was able to borrow the money it needed On it's straight notes. There was nothing hypothecated and it's treasury assets are free for use in it's current business. This is the strength of the arrangement that was made and shows the credit of the company
