CUBAN RURAL GUARDS
Not Eager to Re-Enlist, Owing to Small
Pay, etc.

Havana, July 8.-Some concern is be-
ing manifested over the situation of
the Rural Guards. The period of the
two years enlistments which began
during the intervention IS expiring and
many of the guards are not disposed to
re-enlist on account of the small pay
and peculiar conditions of the service.
The force of 1900 men has recently
dwndled to 1900, the best class of SOL
der material not applying for enlist
ment
The colonists near HOlguin, where an
American named Joseph e. Bradley
was murdered by robbers. June 30, have
asked for more protection and other
communities have made similar APP
pealS.
Coincident with the depletion of the
Rural Guard, the government is taxi
ing preventative measures against pos
sible disturbances which are threat
ened by a few of the more radical of
the claimants to pay as revolutionary
soldiers.
The Presidential palace guards has
been doubled. There are no signs of
trouble, however, aside from few
speeches and letters of exaggerated
tone

IRISH LAND BILL.
The Amended Measure Passes
Through Committee Stages
And Is Reported to House Of Com
mons Amid Cheers.
Expected That Early Passage Will Be
Easily Secured.

London, July S.-All the regular
clauses of the Irish land bill being
adopted, the House of Commons, today
took UP the newly proposed clauses
on the first OF which the government
showed the smallest majority of the
whole debate. Irish Secretary Wynd-
ham proposed appropriating SIS, 900 an
nually out of the development grant
to indemnify Trinity college, Dublin,
for any loss of income arising from the
sale of land owned by the college. The
new clause was vigorously opposed by
the Nationalist, but after a long de-
bate 1t was adopted by a government
majority of g.
A number of private members
clauses We're then submitted and dis
cussed at length. Mr.. Wyndham
pleaded that the House complete the
committee stage of the bill, this even
ing, and all these clauses were then
withdrawn. Mr.. Wyndham then moved
an amendment to schedule I, providing
for the payment to the landlord of a
uniform bonus of IL per cent This was
agreed to, although the Nationalists
plainly minated their intention of re-
opening the question on the report
stage.
The bill as amended then passed
through the committee stage and was
reported to the House amid cheers.

peculiar feature was the wrecking of a
freight car in the middle of the train.

ONLY a MIN, 9 SEC.
Shamrock III Has No Cinch in Downing
Old Boat, This Time.

New York, July S.-Over a leeward
and windward course Of so miles start
ing at Sandy Hook Lightship in a rat
Ting breeze, Shamrock III, today, beat
Shamrock I only minutes and 9 Sec
onds, official time. II the figures told
the whole story the cup must be safe,
but they are deceptive. 1t is apparent
that Designer Fife and Sir Thomas Lip
ton are experimenting with the new
boat and that changes are made daily
In her ballast and trim to discover the
effect upon her speed. On Monday, in
windward work, she simply outclassed
her trial horse. Today she covered the
IS miles to windward only minutes
and SO seconds faster than Shamrock l.
Her ballast had been moved aft, with
the result that she could not point so
high, though it did not affect her foot
ing ability.
The cup hunter will race no more
this week. Her bottom is foul, and. to-
morrow, she will be taken into dry dock
at the Erie basin and her underbody
cleaned and reprinted.
A 10-knot westerly wind and q
smooth sea furnished splendid condi-
tons for today's race. The course was
n run before the wind Is miles east
by north and a beat back to the 18TH
line. 30 miles in all. The time of the
start follows:
Shamrock | ................ ll.56.lf
Shamrock III ................. ll.56.l9
They made beautiful spectacle, as.
with spinnakers set they crossed the
line side by side. Shamrock III gained
so slowly that it was quickly evident
that her new trim was bad. At the
turn she was less than n quarter OF q
mile ahead. The wind held fresh and
true. beating back to the finish line and
Shamrock III covered the Is miles in
one second less than two hours. She
did no better at pointing than did
Shamrock I. Falling wind at the fin
ish increased her advantage.
Only once in cup race has the Col
umbia covered the New York Yacht

For a class of men who have been
touted as crack shots the exhibition
which the guides gave in the shooting
match, Tuesday afternoon, was some
thing frightful. There We're 25 entries
and the scores ranged from cipher to
"a, out of a possible %, with the great
majority of them being less than 30
out of a possible 25. The best score
was made by Frank Tomale. who maze
"a out of 25 and won the rifle presented
by Rice & Miller of Bangor Next to
him was f. T.. Harlow of Greenville,
who made % out of a possible 25 and
captured the gun case presented by the
Bangor Sporting Goods Co.
The target used was n wooden deer
and it had been supposed that the
guides would do some crack shooting. SO
that there was large attendance of
those who like to see good, skilfull work
with rifle. They were disappointed.
for they saw work which would have
caused the members of the poorest
shooting company in the National
Guard to have been ashamed. Last
year the winner of the guides shooting
match made a good score and was an
ey-member of the Guard, having served
there for five years.

Who Wrote Roosevclt's Speeches?
1t appears that Our President was
overworked and sadly in need of the
two weeks vacation which he got in
Yellowstone Park. He either did not
have time to prepare the speeches
which he knew the western people
would insist that he should make or,
what is more likely. the speeches that
he had prepared were rejected by his
cabinet and the leading Republicans of
the Protective Tariff League, at the
conference held in the White House
just before he left on his G0-day tour,
and he had not time to write new
speeches. 1t will be remembered that
Mt this conference the ultimatum Of the
Protective Tariff League was present
ed. 1t said in substance: IF you do
not abandon your tariff reform and tar
iff commission talk, you will not be
the Republican standard bearer in

tics and knowing full well the power
of this league, composed Of 1000 pro-
tected manufacturers, mostly in great
trusts, who pay yearly dues of 500
