condition of the ships 1t was found
that two of them would require 80 tc
80 days to repair, and one of them
seven days, and that none of them
! had coal enough TO steam. After con
siderable correspondence Admiral
Train, commanding the United States
| Asiatic fleet then at Cavite, was in
structed that the Russian vessels
could not be allowed to repair war
damages unless interned, it being the
policy of the United States to restrict
all belligerent operations in its ports.
, In the meantime the ships had only
been allowed to take $50 tons of coal
for use in the harbor, and enough
food supplies to last. from day to day.
The negotiations finally resulted in
the vessels being interned after June
Sth at noon. Later negotiations per-
mitted some of the sick to be taken
back to Russia, aud some of the Off
GERS paroIed, most of which was done
with the consent of the Japanese gov

Other Pertinent Cases.
Several other cases under the proc
lamation arose during the war, the
most interesting being that of the
Lena She was an auxiliary cruiser,
and arrived at San Francisco on Sep
TENDER 13, 1904, with an armament
of q quick-firing guns. The Russian
ambassador stated that the vessel was
in an unseaworthy condition. and ask
ed that she might receive all aid com
patible with neutrality. On Septem-
Der 14th the Russian ambassador was
advised that if the vessel was repair
ed, only such bare repairs could be al
lowed as might be necessary to rem
der the vessel seaworthy and enable
her to reach the nearest home port,
and that even such repairs could be
permitted only On condition that they
should not prove to be too extensive.
On September 18th the President is
sued an order directing that the Lena
be taken into custody by the naval
authorities of the United States, upon
certain conditions requiring the YES
sci to be taken to Mare Island navy
yard, disarmed by removal of small
guns, breechblocks. small arms, ammu-
milton and ordnance stores, and such
other dismantlement as might be pre-
seribed by the commandant of the
navy yard; that the captain of the
Lena should give written guarantee
that she should not leave San Fran
cisco till peace had been concluded,
and that the officers and crew should
be paroled not to leave San francisco
till some other understanding as tol
their disposal might be reached be-

ligerents; that, after disarmament, the
vessel might be removed to private
dock for such reasonable repairs as
would make her seaworthy and pre-
serve her in good condition during de-
tention, or be SO repaired at the navy
yard, should the Russian commander
so elect, and that while at the private
dock the commandment of the navy
yard should have the custody of the
ship, and that the repairs should be
overseen by an engineer officer to- be
detailed by him; that the cost of re-
pairs, of private docking, and of main
tenance of the ship, officers and crew
while in custody should be borne by
the Russian government, but the

by the United States; that the vessel.
when repaired, If peace had not then
been concluded, should be taken to
Mare Island. and there held in custo-

Consistent Neutrality. -
The Russian ambassador expressed
the adherence of his government 10
these conditions, but asked that the
officers and crew of the vessel, except
five officers and 100 seamen. who
were necessary for her care, might be
permitted to leave the United States.
The Japanese government, on the 9th
er hand, asked that all the officers and 1
crew be detained in the United States
till the termination of the hostilities.
The President decided that it would
not be consistent with neutrality to
grant the request for the repatriation
of any of the officers or crew of the
Lena, unless both the belligerents
agreed to it. Without such an agree
ment he regarded the position Of the
men as being identical in principle
with that of military force entering

RACING YACHT SAILS
FOR UNITED STATES

Portsmouth, Eng, July 1S.-Sham-
rock w. Sir Thomas Liptons chal-
lcnger for the Americas cup, sailed
this afternoon for Falmouth, whence
she will start for the United States.
Shamrock ~ has been rigged as q
ketch for her voyage across the At
laItic and will carry only half OF
her racing crew of 80 men. Charles
e. Nicholson, the designer: William
skipper. and Captain Turner, who
will act as skipper during the voy-
age. will be on board the yacht.
The remainder of the crew will be
on Sir Thomass steam yacht Erin
which will act as convoy.
The problem OF getting the Sham
rock across the Atlantic under h/
down sails is almost as great as that
of racing her.
The yachts Will stop for supplies
at the Azores.
The yacht passed through the
lines of the fleet lying here and was
given hearty send on by the war
guests on the Erin were Colonel Neill
and the Earl of Hardwicke. The
latter will transfer to the Hamrock
at the Azores and work his passage
as an able seaman for the rest of
the voyage. He said he hoped to
make good and to be given per-
mancnt job as member of the
Shamrock racing crew.
The Earl of Hardwicke has led an
adventurous life as a cowboy in
Texas and rs a miner in Montana.
He comes from scafaring family
and Is very keen OH yachting.
The people of Gosport presented
the challenger with model of
parrot as mascot and this will be
perched on the bowsprit while the
yacht is crossing the ocean. The
Shamrock also carries number of
toy monkeys and other objects as
mascOts.

Races Tightening

to one-sidcd flag races. In the ma
jor leagues at least six clubs have
pennant chances. Philadelphia, De-
troit and Washington. are all In the
American league race and the first
four clubs In the National organiza-
tion all figure as possible winners:
The same situation exists In the Fed
eral and International leagues.
The race IN the Glass n. organiza-
tions is also close. The southern
association pennant struggle is one
of the most interesting in years, less
the first six clubs. In the Western
league. Denver. st. Joseph. Lincoln
and Sioux City are all punched and
as the season does not close until
September 81, any one OF these clubs
may prove the flag winner. Among
the Glass B leagues the average is
not SO close, New London has good
lead in the Eastern association; Day
ton in the Central league Wilkes
Barre in the New York State league,
and Davenport in the. Three
league. In the Texas league. Beau
mont. Houston and Waco are all In
the race while Worcester. Portland,
Lawrence and Lynn have pennant
chance in the New England league.
The Glass c races are also proving
OF much interest to the baseball fans
Of the respective league territories.
Charleston leads the South Atlantic
race with Albany having a fair
chaice If the leaders slow up for
any reason. The Virginia contest is
far closer for Norfolk, Newport News
and Richmond are closely grouped
Further north in the Wisconsin-llli-
nois league five clubs are in the flag
race, there being hardly hundred
points between the first and nth
teams. Bay City appears to have a
safe lead in the South Michigan
league while Winnipeg Grand Forks
and Virginia all have chance to
win out before the season closes on
Labor day. The same can be said
of Fall River, New Bedford and Paw
tucket in the Colonial league, while
London and Ottowa are leaders in
the Canadian league.

because OF tho more famous trophies
although not 10 widely horalded. II
began with the formation OF the New
York Canoe club In 1871. Some IA
years later the club received an ins
-ttmation that the champions OF Eng
land would be glad to enter a con-
test for sailing canoes. In answer to
this suggestion the club offered an
international challenge cup AZ per-
petual challenge sailing trophy. the
conditions OF which were drawn In
substantial accordance with that cs-
tablialied for the Americas cup for
larger yachts. .,
The first challengers were Messrs.
Baden-POweli (brother OF the dis
tinguished general OF that name)
and Walter stuart OF the Royal
Canoe club OF London and the Eng
lish canoeists were defeated during
the season OF 1885. Two years later
the challenge was repeated without
success and since that date the COM
petition has been between, American
and Canadian canoe racing experts.
beginning in 1880 Ave attempts have
been made by northern canoeists to
lift the cup, but In each attempt tile
chailengers have been defeated by
the trophy defenders. ..-
The sailing canoes used in these
contests are perhaps the most perfect
saiiing craft In existence. for they
have been SO developed as to permit
OF carrying larger sail spread In
proportion to their size than any 9TH
er craft In existence. The canoes are
decked over SO as to be water tight
with but small cockpit left above
1.-THE water line. Across the deck is
riggad a sliding seat twice the width
OF the canoe permitting the sailor tn
reach HIS entire length beyond tho
windward side OF the canoe. thus
forming a counterbalance to the
pressure on the sails. In some OF the
previous contests sail area OF over
lSO feet was used,- but recently the
canoe association limited the sail
area to SO,square feet. Capsizes are
frequent, but the canoes. being un-
sinkable, are soon righted and the
race continued.
