War Spirit in Servia
Begins to Quiet Down

BELGRADE. October 9.-The war fever
among the people of Servia is distinctly
on the decline this morning. The saner
element of the population gradually is
obtaining an ascendency over the more
excited politicians and patriots who. dur
ing the last few days have demanded
persistently the immediate advance of the
Servian army. This morning many OF the
frebrands are beginning to comprehend
that an attempt to measure swords with
Austria-Hungary would be equivalent TO
national suicide. and the opinion is slowly
gaining ground that Servian interests
probably would be best served by depend
ing on the joint action of the powers.
The local newspapers are much less in
fiammable this morning and altogether 1t
would appear that the warnings sent
King Peter by France and Great Britain
are proving effective. In spite Of the gen.
eral improvement, however. the enlist
ing of volunteers is still going on.

WALETTA, Island of Malta. October g.
"A British fleet will leave here this even

island of Lemnos. The sailing orders

The fleet will consist Of four battleships.
four cruisers and four torpedo boat de-

Battenberg.
The fleet includes the battleships Glory

Confirmed by Foreign Office.
LONDON, October 9.-The foreign office
and the admiralty have confirmed the
press cablegrams from Malta saying that
British warships have been ordered to
the Aegean sea.
1t is explained that these vessels are
is understood from other sources that
Turkey intimated she would welcome the
appearance of the British fleet as likely
to calm the population.
Lemnos is an island of the Grecian
archipelago. about fifty miles west of the
entrance to the Dardanelles 1t belongs
to Turkey. The population mainly is
Greek.
No credence whatever is given to the
rumor that the forts at Constantinople
had fired on a Bulgarian vessel. This
report originated with the Berlin Lokai
Anzeiger and it is without confirmation
from any source.

FOR FOUR DAYS IN OPEN BOAT
SUFFERING FROM THIRST,
SEVEN MEN RESCUED.
Waterlogged Schooner, Dismasted
Abandoned in Gale-Steamer
Picks Up Crew.

NEW YORK, October 9s-After aban-
doning their dismasted and wateriogged
vessel and passing four days in a small
open boat on a storm-swept ocean, Capt
Charles F. Hines and the crew of seven
men of the Baltimore schooner John A.
Mathesen were brought into this port
today on the steamer Seminole, returning
from Santo Domingo.
Capt Hines, in telling his story OF the
disaster, said that the sMathesen sailed
from Baltimore August % with cargo
of general merchandise for Fortune Is
land Sixteen days later, September 10,
the schooner ran into hurricane blow
ing with terrific violence from the north
east, veering around to the southeast
and continuing for three days.
Lashed by the gale and her decks swept
by tremendous seas, the schooner became
unmanageable. Her masts were whipped
out of her and her small boats were
smashed.
Crippled as she was the schooner rode
easier after her masts were gone ana
might have outlived the gale mad she not
sprung leak Heroic work at the
pumps availed nothing.
On the fourth day OF the hurricane the
captain decided to abandon his vessel
Fortunately tnere was slxteen-1oot
boat in tile vessels cargo. This was
equipped with provisions and water.
With great difficulty the eight men
managed to get away The gale had be-
gun to abate, but the sea was still run
ming high.
For four days and nights the little
craft was tossed about. On the third day
the water gave out.
The men had begun to suffer, when the
Seminole, bound south from New York,
hove in sight, took them on board and
carried them to Turks Island, where
they were landed and allowed TO remain
until the Seminole returned en- route to
New York.
The John A. Mathesen was built at
Essex in 1883 and was owned in Balti-
more.

eral Of the contestants, George Robert
son, who won the twentyfour-hour race
at Brighton Beach last Saturday, went
around the eight-mile lap in nine min
utes and thirteen seconds.
This is remarkable time when it is con-
sidered that the course is exceedingly
dangerous because of the many sharp
turns. James Florida made the next best
time, going around in 9:25.
The course is in fine condition for the
race and an immense crowd is expected
to be on hand when the race starts at Z
am. Elaborate arrangements have been
made for guarding the course. Fifteen
hundred policemen will keep the track
clear and sixteen ambulanceS will be on
hand for use in the event of accident.
