VEENSTRAIS STILL HELD RACE WINNER Aero Club Declares Him Vic- tor in Balloon Contest Until Report Is Disproved. By th ted Press. BRUSSELS, Belglum, June 12 Until proof to_the contrary is fort coming, the Bel abiding by its dec piloting the balloon Prince Leopold, won the Gordon Bennett Balloon race, which started from here last Sunday. Veenstra's original _telegram re ported his landing on Capt Torinana, about 50 miles more than 80u & field. Last evening an unsigned tele. gram from Corunna said the balloon had alighted in the sea, off the Span ish coast, which would disqualify Veenstra, as Wade T. Orman, American pilot, was disqualified by coming down in the water off Usbdnt Light, France. The efforts of the aero club officials to communicate with Veenstra to clear up the mystery have proved un- availing, and neither his relatives nor those of his companion, Quersin, yet received word from them. Leon de la Rocca, pilot of the Esperio Spanish balloon, has returned to Brussels and tells a remarkable story of adventure in which Fontan Lobez Jesus, we the American steamer Assoc Channel.

At last the aeronauts sighted the Sacanadaga, which, although going in the opposite direction, reversed and offered assistance. Wishing to save his balloon, De la Rocca threw out a floating anchor and tried to keep the basket a few yards above water until he and his companion could be taken off and the gas bag retrieved. Disaster threatened when the steamer approached, as gas from the balloon was sucked into the funnel of the Sacanadaga and ignited. The flames penetrated to the fireroom, creating a panic among the stokehold crew, who rushed on deck. Several of the men were injured in the jam. * Meanwhile De la Rocca lost his bal- ance and fell.
