The first race was un- ‘ interesting except to Cornellians after the first quarter of a mile had been rowed. The slight lead which Yale se- cured at the start was taken away by Cornell at this point and Courtney’s. men were not again headed. The eight of Harvard was never in the race. A prettier form and watership has ney- er been seen in America than that pre- sented by Capt. Colson and his Cornell erew through the four miles of the race. The twenty-four men were all in Good Physical Condition with Cornell’s eight a trifle the fittest and Yale the worst off in this respect. It is beginning to be suspected that the order to relax the press censorship was unable to get by the censor. Into the American Ranks. The Spaniard is unfortunate, but he may congratulate himself that he is getting a geographical education. “Wanted, a young man to be partly out-of-doors and partly inside a hotel,” reads a late advertisement in a bush paper of Australia. A correspondent feels compelled to ask what would hap- pen when the door was shut. oe Patriotism is capable of some curious manifestaticns; for example, when it prompts saloon-keepers in New York to offer free drinks to every one wear- ing a United States uniform! Practi- cally, this might operate just like trea- son by making our soldiers less eflect- ive, and thus giving “aid and comfort” to the enemy. CAMARA’S PLAN.

OFF TO MANILA. —_ Sagasta Officially Announces the Destination of the Cadiz Fleet. London, June 25.—A Madrid corre- aa j spondent says: Senor Sagasta has in- formed the chamber of deputies that Admiral Camera’s squadron was op H the way to the Philippines. Prof Sal- ; meron, the Republican leader, in a the Australian system of land trans- fers is now proposed, and will probably be adopted. It provides for abolition of the present cumbrous and expensive scheme of searching titles, and is therefore opposed by the shysters who work, but by few others. It is of note that the older nations of the world should have so many things to learn of some of the youngest. ble to a head wi for action, and if Admiral Dewey wants to fight he will have to leave Manila bay. Admiral Dewey will ) thus either leave the bay unprotected or divide his fleet. This move has made a good impression here. Interest to- day centered in the meeting of the cabinet. It is believed that the min- isters favor overture for peace but dis- agree as to the manner in which they should proceed and this may provoke a crisis and precipitate the end.” Camera’s Fleet at Port Said. Port Said, June 27. — Admiral Cam- ara’s squadron is in the harbor await- ing orders. It consists of the battle- ships Pelayo, Emperado Carlos, Quin- tos, two armored cruisers, two troop boats and five transports, carrying four thousand. BLOCKED BY J. BULL. Spanish Warships Too Heavy to Go Through the Suez, Washington, June 28.—Notwithstand- ing the report of the arrival of Ad- miral Camara’s squadron at Port Said —the westerly entrance of the Suez canal—the officials here still doubt that the vessels are bound for the Philip- pines. Rumors reach here, uncon- firmed as yet, that the only ironclads in the squadron, the*Pelayo and Carlos We ust admit that there is reason in Josephine Shaw Lowell’s declaration that married men have no business to go to war. When a married man is in war he has, if not an officer, no one to help him dress. There ought to be a valet to every private soldier, but this is impossible, and we believe vivan- dieres run only one to a_ regiment. Then, again, who shall help the absent wife in her morning and other toilets, if she cannot afford a maid? She must perforce harness herself in her corset by tying herself to a door, and her large sleeves must poke back themselves or go unpoked. These things seem triv- ial, but when they go on week after week and month after month they amount to agony. Never before was a war so written up and overwritten.

THAT CADIZ FLEET.

If this is so either the Span- iards have realized the folly of leay- ing their home ports unprotected, or they have received information from the British government that the navi- gation of the Suez canal cannot be jeopardized by allowing suth deep draft unwieldy ironclads to attempt the passage. BRITISH OPINION. London Papers Unanimous in Prais- ing the Fighting Qualities ot Americans, London, June 28. — The London pa- pers aré unanimous in praising the pluck and fighting qualities which thei Americans have displayed in the skir- mishes before Santiago de Cuba. Af- ter the scare caused by rating too cheaply the Spaniards’ knowledge of bush fighting, which cost the Ameri- cans dearly, the experience probably will teach them a useful lession for the future. This is the burden of the general opinion. There is considerable comment as to Admiral Camara’s movements. His stopping at Port Said is puzzling, but the assumption is that he is probably waiting fresh instruc- tions. Lieut. Col.
