Barcelona Peaceful
BARCELONA, Aug 4.-The situation
in Barcelona today is tranquil. The
only evidences, of the terrible night
mare through which the city passed
last week are the ruins of the con-
vents and churches and the torn up
pavements, the stones Of which were
used for the erection of barricades.
There is, however. considerable appre-
hension for the future. The terrible
repressive measures of the military au-
thorities have left a deep undercurrent
OF resentment among the masses.

the brutes. They catch them all day

Bermuda island Won BY Schooner
Margaret.

Hamilton, Bermuda, June $50 far
as can be figured the schooner
Margaret owned by George s. Runk
OF New York, has won the sailing race
from New York to Bermuda by about
four and a half hours. Three yachts
crossed the finish mark, of st. David's
head in a remarkable contest. Less
than two minutes separated the
schooner Amorita, owned by Dr. w.
Il Baum, Of Chicago and the Margaret.
The former was first over but as
the Margaret had an allowance Of
four hours and thirty minutes, and
finished right on the Amorita's heels,
the Margaret proved the winner on
her allowance.
The schooner Crusader II. owned by
Edwin Palmer, OF the Atlantic Yacht
club. came over the line 3S minutes
and fifty-five seconds after the
Margaret. The start was made from
0ravesend Bay at 10 a. m. Sunday. At
dark the sloop Marchloness, which has
an allowance of twenty.four hours
form the Amorita, and the schooner
Restless, which has an allowance Of
IS hours and As minutes, had not been
sighted.
Nothing has been heard from the
powerbeats which started from
Gravesend Bay at 1885 Saturday
afternoon. It was thought here that
the leader OF these boats would reach
the finish before the sailing yachts,
but the latter was favored by excellent
breezes.
