THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1896. YALE'S OARSMEN WERE. DEFEATED, Beaten Almost Two Lengths ? by the Leander Crew. PRELIMINARY CONTESTS ok, the New Haven Coach, Expected the Vanquishing of His Men. TRIED GAMELY, BUT IN VAIN, Many Kind Words of Encouragement and Congratulation for the Americans. HENLEY -0 1AND, July 7 -THE-THAMES, Exe- he Yale University crew | fell by the wayside to-day in their first | and consequently upon their defeat tbelr; only attempt to win the most highly | pri d trophy of Brifish aquatics, the | nd chalienge cup of the Royal Henley | gatta. Their opponents were the crack eight o! the Leander Rowing Club, whose crews won the cup four times in succession in 1891, 92, 93 and 94. It was a grand race, however, and the Yale men have no rea- son to feel humiliated at their defeat. E 1|2 'dies' plate was won by Balliol College, which beat Bedford Grammar School. ‘The third heat of the race for the La- dies’ plate was won by Ridley College, which beat Trinity of Dublin. 1in the fourth heat for the Ladies’ plate Emanuel College, Cambridge, beat Trinity Hall, Cambridge. The first heat of the eight-oared race for the Thames Challenge Cup was won by the Kensington Rowing Club, which beat the London Club easily. In the first heat of the four-oarea race for the Wyfold chalienge cup Trinity Col- lege, Oxford, beat the Thames Rowing Club. Tihe second heat in the ruce for the Wy- fold challenge cup was won by the Caius College, Cambriage, which beat Molesey Boat Club. The thira heat for this cup was won by the London Rowing Club, which beat the Christ Church, Oxford, crew. The first heat in the four-oared race for the Stewar’s challenge, which finished the programme for the day, was won by the London Rowing Club, which beat the Caius College, Cambridge, a length. e e THE RACING RESULITS.

A i ; length and three-quarters, covering the | LATONIA, Ky., July 7.—Summari Henley course of 1 mile and 550 yards in 7:14. Immense crowns of spectators lined the river banks. The entire course was &8 mass of color, Yale and American flags heingI very much in evidence. There was no wind, the sky was overcast and the air was hot. Bob Cook and Pittman, the old Cambridge stroke, followed the boats over the course on board the nmpire’s launch. The great race was preceded by several others, in order that the principal event of the day should take place about 1:30 P. M., when the greatest throng of spectators would be present. The first heat of the race for the diamond sculls was between F. Beddington of the Thames Rowing Club and R. K. Beaumont of Burton-on-Trent. Beaumont finished five lengths ahead. The second heat, be- tween Vivian Nickalls and 8. Swann, the old Trinity Hall biue, was won by Nickalls by a length. | In the first trial heat of the eight-oared race for the Grand Challenge Cup, the contesting crews were First Trinity of | Cambridge and the London Rowing Club. First Trinitv won by three-quarters of a length. Time, 7:20. The second heat was between New Col- lege, Oxford, and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, crews. New College won by a length and & quarter in 7:19. The starting word for the race between Yale and Leander was given at 1:33 ». M. The boats got an excellent start, both striking the water at the same time. Emerging from the upperend of Temple Island, Leander was seen to have the fore- part of her canvas ahead, and soon in- creased her lead to a quarter of a length, but the Yale men were putting great force inte their strokes, and sueceeded in driv- ing 1beir boat even with that of their op- poncais. To those running behind the boats on the tow path the Yales seemed to get the nose of their boat in front, and it was then a beautiful race to Fawley Court. A report- er who was on board tne umpire’s launch says Yale never actually got the lead, but that two or three times they pulled themselves about even with Leander. The consensus of opinion, however, is that Yale led slightly at the half-mile, but Le- ander was a foot ahead at Fawley Court. The Leander crew appeared perfectly fresh at the end of the race, and rowed at a smart stroke some distance beyond the finish, but the Yale men seemed to be completely spent. Brown and Rodgers, respectively numbers 2 and 4, were badly done up at the finish. The men were too much exhausted to allow a raisein the stroke. Boih Brown and Rodgers required attention when the race was over. When they had been helped out of the boat Rodgers was per- fectly white and Brown fainted from ex- haustion. The men feel that they did themselves justice and acknowlege Leander is the better crew. They are, of course, terribly disappointed, but feel that they were fairly beaten. Aside from Browa and Rodgers the men were in fair shape at the finish, though they were somewhat blown. Bob Cook said to a representative of the United Press at the conclusion of the race that the contest had resulted as he thought it would. The Leander crew was composed of older and more experienced men. The Leanders got the best of the start and led for a short time, but the Yale crew caught them and led by halt a length to the Fawley Court boathouse, The third heat for the diamond scuils between H. T. Blackstaffeand Hon. Rupert Guinness, who won the diamond sculls last year, was won by Guinness by two lengths in 9:03. Then came the second great event of the day, the trial heat of the diamond sculls between Dr. W. 8. McDowell of Chicago and Hon. E. A. Guinness of Eton College, brother to the Hon. Rupert Guinness. The doctor has met with a series of mis- haps during his practice on the Thames, but he treated them all to a surprise to- day and received an ovation from the crowds that were packed in every availabie space at the finish line of the course. He rowed beautifully, and actually played with Guinness, winning as he pleased. His time was not extraordinary, in faet it was slow, but it was not neces- sary for him to row.at a record-breaking pace tu take the honor from Guinness into camp. He finished in 9:36, three-quarters of a length ahead of his opponent, who appeared to be greatly fagged. 2 Dr. McDowell said after the race that he struck the thirteenth post and chipped his oar badly. He thinks Guinness lost his nerve when he was passed. He will meet Beaumont, the winner of the first heat in the diamond sculls race, to- morrow. The other events of the day are sum- Six furlongs, Hoffman wou, Miss Emma sec- ond, Eisie D third. Time, 1:163. One mile, Countess Irma won, Argentina I second, La Gascogne third. Time, 1:4314.

HAVANA, CoBa, July 7.—General Brad- ley Johnson, 8 newspaper correspondent here, has been challenged to fight a duel by a retired Spanish = military offi- cer, who was offended by re- marks in Johnson’s published’ corre- spondence about the Spanish army. The challenger finds himself in a somewhat ridiculous position, as the officers in aec- tive service refuse to recognize him as their champion. General Johnson, who is an ex-officer of the Confederate army and has seen much .of war, it in no wise troubled over the vaporings of the self-constituted cham- pion of the honor of the Spanish officers. He says if his statements are such as to render necessary a meeting on the field of honor he is perfectly willing to ficht when the proper person to meet him is decided upon. pNewp was received here to-day that un- known parties have burned the Santa Barbara estate, near Baro, province of Matanzas. The estate is owned by Senor Manuel Coronado, editor of L1 Discussion. The damage is estimated at $300,000. pestirE v At British Troops Swuccessful.

Captain Waters’ Domain Is to Be Invaded by Uncle Sam. CHANCES GOOD FOR WAR For Many Years a Veteran Union Soldier Has Been a Monarch. PROPOSED PLAN OF ATTACK His Majesty Is on the A'ert and Wil Not Be Caught Napping. SANTA BARBARA, CAn, July 7.— United States Marshal Covarrubias of Los Angeles bas arrived in Santa Barbara on a very important and decidedly dramatic mission. The island of San Miguel, which lies off the coast west of Point Conception, is the most unique bit of territory in the civilized world, for it is absolutely without an ownership save by squatter sovereignty. Itis claimed that it was through some error left out of the cession of lands in the Mexican treaty, and oddly enough the United States has néver laid formal claim toit. Although it has been occupied and utilized for agricultural and grazing pur- poses for more than seventy years, it has never been platted or surveyed, never paid taxes, never been included in any electoral district. It is a piece of territory literaily without a flag or government, although it has long been owned and occupied by a loyal citizen of the United States and veteran of the late civil conflict, Captain W. G. Waters. This extraordinary condition of affairs has long been whispered about, but it is not generally known that the State of Cal- ifornia, awakening to her anomalous posi- tion in the matter,last February attempted to send a surveying party to the island. | This party on arriving at Santa Barbara met with such determined resistance on the part of the claimants to the island ter- ritory that they withdrew from the scene without completing their mission. The Surveyor-General of California thereupon communicated with the Fed- eral anthorities in California and received instructions to go ahead witn his aurvey. A party of eight surveyors, headed by Mr. Glover, are now here and United States Marshal Covarrubias of Los Angeles has come up and with an armed force of thir- teen men is ready to accompany them to the island to take forcible and adverse pos- session of it. San Miguel Island is about twenty miles long and some seven or eight miles wide at its largest point, tapering at both ends. It consists of a tablelana elevated from 300 or 400 to 800 feet above the sea and com- | & prises some 20,000 acres of land. A considerable portion of this is com- posed of great wastes of sand and barren stretches of lava, but it includes some thousands of acres of fine grazing and agricultural lands, plentifully watered by springs. It also abounds in traces of a prehistoric population and has some notable natural curiosities. The only im- | provements upon 1t are a few fences and a comfortable ranch house owned by Cap- tain Waters. It has been observed that Captain ‘Waters isa patriot, and be is a large and formidable one. At the same time, while he acknowledges allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, he has a strong sense of alle- giance to his own personal and property rights, and he is under a strong conviction of the validity of his title to the island. He was possibly forewarned of this at- tempt to corral his territory and sailed for San Miguel last week, probably intending to hold possession of it. His possessery force is estimated to consist of himself, a couple of ranchhands, a tenant by cour- tesy at the west end and two women, wives of his laborers. But justice is justice and the legal rights of 8 man must obtain, though heaven and the United States Government fall. San Miguel is really an excellent place to hold, having rare natural fortifications. Cuylers Harbor constitutes the only ap- proach by way of deep water and affords greater advantages to the landsman than to the sailor, as ils shores are steep and in a terrestrial-naval engagement it would be easy to sink a whole fleet by rolling rocks down upon it. Captain Waters has not confided to any one the plans of his campaign or his strategies, but that he will resist the in- | vasion to the knife no one can doubt, and the world will no doubt be thrilled by the spectacle of one man opposing the United States Government on his lonely island. The invading force will leave on the little sloop Restless to-morrow. The Rest- less has no record as either a sprinter ora war vessel, but she is' the best available vessel of the Santa Barbara fleet, going all the other craft one mast better. Her re- turn will be looked for with bated breath— if she returns at all. There are many who believe she will retire from the counflict, leaving the captain in lonely sovereignty over his island kingdom, SAN FRANCISCO MAY BE CHOSEN, If Necessary Concessions Are Seoured Christian Endeavorers Will Meet Here. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 7.—1f San Francisco Endeavorers can secure the' ne- cessary concessions from the railroads and make certain that satisfactory rates may be obtained it is understood that the great Christian organization, which begins its annuali session here to-morrow, wili meet in 1897 in San Francisco. It is estimated that about fifty thousand members attended the meeting at Boston last year and even a larger attendance is ex- pected here.
