Mrs. Walter S. Martin to Play
Miss Havemeyer in Finals

The seminal round matches of the
tournament for the Walter S. Martin
cup were played by the women on the
links of the Burlingame country club
yesterday. AS a result of the days
play Mrs. Walter s. Martin and Miss
B. Havemeyer will meet in the finals
for the handsome trophy tomorrow
The matches yesterday were more in
teresting than those of the previous
day Mrs. Martin was practically con-
ceded the match with Mrs. Field but
the latter was in splendid form, AID
Mrs. Martin had no easy time defeat
ing her. The match was well con-
tested throughout, and the outcome was
in doubt until the last few holes had
been played.
Miss Havemeyer had comparatively
easy time disposing of Mrs. Laurence
Scott. The latter was hardly at her
best, while Miss Havemeyer played a
remarkably good game. The score of
the match was up and 4 to play
The final match between Mrs. Martin
and Miss Havemeyer is being looked
forward TO with considerable interest.
Mrs. Martin is already credited with a
win on the cup and in the event OF
her being successful against Miss Have
meyer the trophy will go into her per-
manent possession. The players appear
to be evenly matched and q good match
should result.

Gen. Reyes succeeded Senor Marroqun
as president of Colombia by election in
January, 1860 Although formerly identi-
fled with the conservative or clerical par
ty, Gen. Reyes adopted some of the prin-
ciples Of the liberals, which aroused the
bitter enmity of the conservatives. His
most radical departures from the policies
Of his predecessors were the separation of
church and state and the establishment of
capital punishment for treason, which

Before becoming president Gen. Reyes

He is a man of wealth. with large estates
in the province of Cauca. Gen. Reyes
rendered distinguished service for his
government in the rebeliions of 1885 and
1895
Gen. Reyes quietly left Bogota in the
middle Of last month for Santa Marta,
on the Atlantic seaboard, where he
boarded a steamer for Europe. At that
time it was reported that the general had
abandoned office, and it was openly as

A short time before he left Bogota for
Europe Gen. Reyes appointed new cab
met. in which Gen. Holguin was named
president-designate. On arriving in Lon
don Gen. Reyes announced that he had
no intention Of resigning the presidency,
as the recent elections for a new congress
had resulted entirely in his favor. His
presence in London appeared to be con-
cerned largely with the finances Of the
republic.
During Cen Reyes absence from the
republic a revolution broke out at Sava-
nilla and BaTTanquilla. The revolutionists
there easily overtlrew the government
without shedding any blood. The revolt.
however was localized to these two
cities, and after holding out for about a
week the reyolutionists surrendered and
legal authority of the government was
re-esta blished.
Mr. Hibben. secretary of the Ameri-

State Department that the Colombian
government has accepted the resignation
