was that Leach, new importation to

McGucken was called on for the bal

badly wrenched in the former series
with COlfaX and all be could do was
to lob" them over and trust to sup
port from the remainder of the team.
This worked all right for a time until
the outfeId got "dopy" from chasing
long flies. and runs began to be cir

RELlANCE's TRIAL SPIN
Cup Defender Starts on Her Maiden
p, Trip With Herreshoff at
.,--,. the Wheel.

Portsmouth, R. T., April 25.-The Re-
lance started on her trial trip at 9:35
o'clock this morning with very light
westerly breeze. She swung away from
her mornings under three lower sails and
working topsail. 49,: $50
Designer Herreshoff was at the wheel
and accompanying the yacht down the
harbor from Bristol were the yacht tend
ers Sunbeam and Park City, the steam
yacht Corona with Commodore Bourne on
board and the press tug.
Quaker Hill, Portsmouth, R. l., April
25.-When the yacht finally swung away
from her mornings she was under main
sail, a working .topsail and jib and was
headed towards Hog Island light. The
staysail was soon broken out and later a
jib topsail was also set.
The Reliance seemed rather stiff, for
which the heavy mainsail boom and gaff
swung we'll off on the port side, she had
scarcely any heel. When the great sail
was set for the first time this morning it
was evident that Captain Barr did not
like the set Of it exactly, so it was low
cred and the foot hauled out a bit on the
boom. Then the sail was again hauled
up, the crew working hard to get it
taut on the huff. That part of the sail
set fairly well--but the leach tapped
badly. -...- :. :
The Reliance was an hour getting out
Of harbor, and while she was drifting
along the crew changed the working top
sail for a very small club topsail. -.
At 10:40 the wind strengthened bit
and trimming in her sheet the Reliance
headed out into Narragansett bay.

GERMANY ACQU1EScES /
She is ,ReconcIIed to Russian Mastery Id
= Manchuria.

Berlin. April 25.-Russia's latest de-
mands on China are no surprise to the
German government The foreign office
was privy to Russia's purposes in advance
and expressed Indifference. This is in ex-
act accord with the policy to resist Rus
STA in nothing in which she is really In
earnest. The constant expression in Cow
eminent quarters concerning Manchuria
ever since Chancellor Won Buelow's decla-
rations in the reichstag two years ago has
been that Germany has no interests theirs
and hence Germany is simply in posi-
ton Of calm observance.
The expectation here is that all kinds Of
written protests, from Great Britain and
the United States especially will be lodged
at the Russian foreign office and that
these will be replied to with ample cour-
tesy and reasonableness, but that the COR
respondence will be the only satisfaction
the United States and Great Britain will
get for their open door demands.
Germany is reconciled to Russian mas
terry in Manchuria.

M0R0S ARE SUSPICIOUS
General Chaffee Tells Some of the
Reasons for the Campaign
Against Them.

New York, April 25.-Major General
Adna r. Chaffee, in an address on 1.-The
Physical Aspect of the Philippines at
the social meeting Of John D. Rockefel-
ler's Bible class. in the Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist church Thursday, gave some of the
reasons for the campaign against the
Moros. He said, in part:
I'm February of last year, after we had
had soldiers killed, shot down in the out
skirts Of camp by the natives we were
trying to treat with kindness, we saw
that there was no other way than force.
1 went down to the Moro country in per-
son to investigate and ultimately we went
to the 'Datto and demanded the
murderers of our soldiers. 1t was on
May that General Baldwin took the fort
of the Datto, who was insolent and re-
fused to surrender the prisoners.
I'VE did not get on very good terms
with these Moros. They are very sus-
picious, and want to be left alone We
did not want to disturb their religion or
their customs. except where, in the lat
ter respect we. could help them. You
have recently heard of Captain Pershing,
who is in the Moro country now Well,
to illustrate. I may say that there was
one sultan whom Captain Pershing had
invited time and again to come and talk
with him, and instead of coming the sui
tan kept fortifying himself all the year,
and finally waved his old red flag at us
and dared us to come on. We came, and
the sultan isn't there any MORE
