FISHING BOAT FIRED ON.
Revenue Cutter Sent Twenty Shots
Into the Silver Spray.

ERIE, Pa, Aug. 13.-The Silver
Spray, a fishing boat owned here, came
into port in a badly shattered condi-
tion, due to am encounter in midlake
with the Canadian revenue cutter Pet
rel.
The Canadian authorities have had
trouble with American fishermen for
gears who were poaching on their side
of the lake, and the Petrol is kept con
Nstantly on the lookout for them.
She came upon the Silver Spray on
the Canadian side of the lake and at
once ordered Captain Chris Schau to
stop. The Petrol is a strong steel craft
and it is said attempted to ram the
American boat-before she could COM
ply with the formers order. Captain
Schau, remembering the fate of several
other boats from this side which had
been captured and confiscated, two
from Erie, only last season, decided to
try to escape and started ahead at full
speed. The captain of the Petrol, when
he saw that the Silver Spray was try
ing to get away, opened fire. with all
the guns he had on board, and before
he ceased firing some twenty shots had
struck her. One passed through the
smokestack into the pilot house, in
which Chau stood at the wheel, and
two more struck the pilot house, n of
which came within a few inches of
him, scattering a myriad of splinters
around his head.
The fact that no one was killed is
simply miraculous, as four shots en-
tered the cabin, two in the roof, three
in the after hurricane deck and the
Others in various parts of the boat.
The chase was kept up for some lit
tie time, and Captain Chau was nearly
in despair, as his cold water pump re-
fused to work, and he was also afraid
that his boat might be struck below
the water line and be sunk. He was
very lucky, however, TO get across the
dividing line, and the Petrol gave up
the pursuit.
Captain Chau will report the affair to
the state department at Washington,
as he says he was only looking for
some of his nets which had drifted
from this side toward the Canadian
shore.

men in all the Bulgarian villages are
fleeing to the mountains to join the in
surgent bands. Many among the Bull
garian peasantry wished to remain neu-

help the revolutionary committee.
1t is reported that Feric Pasha while
leaving Epek with Turkish troops was
attacked by Albanians and severely
wounded.
The ROumanian and Greek inhabi-
tants of a number of villages have
joined the insurgents. and the Moham-
medans are taking refuge in the cities
and towns. At Krushevo the revolu-
tionists have seized the repeating rifles
and ammunition stored in the maya
zine.
The Bulgarian government has
charged Turkey with doing less to pre-
vent the insurgents from crossing the
frontier than Bulgaria, though Turkey
maintains four times as many troops
along the border. The Turkish SOL
diers invariably retire to barracks at
sunset and remain there until sunrise,

The tactics of the Macedonian insur-

thus battling the Turkish troops and
avoiding open encounters. They con
fine themselves mostly to the destruc-
ton of villages and crops. expecting
in this way to compel the populace to

The Turkish soldiers are powerless
to deal with these small bands, but to
show that they are active they occa-

THE CANADIAN CUP.
American Yacht IrondequOit Wins
In Strong Breeze.


TORONTO, Aug. 13.-The fourth race
for the Canada's cup was sailed in
weather conditions that were favorable
to the defender. A strong thirteen knot
breeze blew from the northwest, ap-
preaching half a gale at times, but
there was little sea. The lake was quite
calm save near the turning buoy, where
there was quite a choppy sea. The
course vas a nine mile run to leeward
and return. The race was a duel from
the time the boats crossed the line. and
both shippers showed good seaman
ship. After crossing the line Jarvis
Outmaneuvered Hannah, holding to
windward and working for Il spinna-
ker run.
Jarvis was the first to get his spin
maker pulling. He gradually increased
his lead. Strathcona clearly outfooted
Irondequoit in the run before the wind,
both boats running full. Jarvis had the
advantage, as he was on the starboard
tack and Irondequoit was on port tack.
Rounding the outer mark Irondequoit
had a lead of a quarter of a mile. The
beat back from the starting point show
ed more clearly than the run out that
Hanpan was no novice. Nearing the
finish the Strathcona cut down the lead
foot by foot, but could not get up to
her adversary. The victor was given a
great reception. Official time: Ironde-

NOT TRACED TO NEW YORK.
Senior Duran Denies Any knowledge Of
the Revolt.

The New York Tribune today says: AL
though there is lacking positive evidence
that the plans for the Panama movement
for secession were formulated in this city,
it was learned that several of the men in
terested in 1t have been here in the last two
months The best man Of these was DIR.
Manuel Amador, who is named as minister
Of finance in the cabinet Of the embryo re-
public He left this city about three weeks
ago for Panama. There was no reason at
the time of his visit to suspect that his
mission had to do with the uprising. jose
Gabriel Duque, proprietor of THE Panama
Star and Herald" came here about the
same time He made a statement to the
effect that revolution would follow the
defeat of the canal treaty.
Senor Arturo de Brigard, Colombian con-
sui general said yesterday that he had no
proof that these men came here in the in
terests of the revolutionists.
Senior F. Nuts Duran, ex-governor of

in this city. at the Hotel Hygeia, last
night, denied this imputation. saying:
''The statement that l came to New York

since my arrival in New York l have not

revolution would be the result.
1t is evident that the conservative por-
ton of the Colombian government will en-
deavor to avoid war with the United States
There will be none the less a positive stand
taken against this ccuntry's interference
on the isthmus, and an effort will be made
to shape the issue so that it can be made
the subject of arbitration.
Colombia is Powerless.
Commander Hubbard Of the Nashville re-
ported to the Navy Department today that
the Colombian government troops under
Generals Torres and Tovar at Colon. 45O
strong had departed on a merchant vessel
He stated that the isthmus from one side
to the other was in the hands of the revo-
lutionists. That statement is Of the great

This eliminated yesterday evening when
the Colombian troops surrendered and i'm
medately embarked. The change occurred
without bloodshed.
''The United States gunboat Nashville
and the transport Dixie, with $50 American
marines, are cooperating with the railroad
company in maintaining ORDER
Another dispatch from the consul says:
"Frederico Boyd, Jose Arjano and Tomas
Arias, representing the provisional govern
ment, have communicated to the consuis Of
the foreign powers that the new state has
been constituted.
The consul adds:
'"The province of Cauca shows no sign of
revolution nor has the revolution thus lar
spread to other provinces.
THE new state assumes all the 1orneI'
treaty and legal obligations of Colombia.
The last information is regarded by the
officials here as being most important. as
showing no disposition on the part of the
new republic of Panama to repudiate the
canal or other property rights acquired
from Colombia.
