4 FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 8, 1897 VICTORIES OF THE CUBANS Insurgents Continue to Operate Close to the Capital. Sceveral Engagements in Which the Spanish Forces Are Defeated. Assembly of the Patriots Will Meet Under Heavy Guard to i Elect a President. | HAVANA, Cusa, Aug. 7.—Marianan one of the suburbs of Havana, was again | attacked by insurzents under General | Adolfo Castillo Thursdsy night. The fire of the insurgents on the forts continued | from8 P M. to 4 A. M. In the morningof | the same day General Castillo. entered | with his forces in the nei hbering town | of La Chorrera, close to Santa Maria del | Rosario, a few miles from the capital. After a short resistance the garrison sur. rendered and many Spanish joined the insurgent Weyler ia still at Matanzas. It is re- ported that he intends to estublish head- quarters at Colon, Matanzas province, to | prevent more Cuban troops invading the | provinces of Havana and Pinar del Rio. | News irom Puerto Princire says the | combined Spanish forces in the batiaiions | of Pcrto Rico and Tarragona were badly defeated last week by the insurgents under General Lope Recie, The Spanish were escorting 300 head of cattle to Puerto Principe city, and all of their convoy fell into the hands of the insurgents. Ancther hara engagement is reported near Jucaro Moron trocho with the insur- gents commanded by Colonel Claudio Banchez. The Spanish had twelve killed and twenty-fcur wounded. TO GUAKD THE ASMSEMBLY. Weyler's Plans to Capture Will Be Defeated. HAVANA, Cusa, Aug. 7.—The twenty- ght representatives to the General As- sembly have all been peaceful.y elected | by the Cubans in the six States into which the republic is divided by the con- | itution. The Assembly wiil meet at Jim- aguay, province cf Puerto Principe. The main purpose of the Assembly is to elect | a new President and amend the constitu- | tion 0 as to enlarge kis powers. Under | the present system the President is little | the Patriots more tban the chairman of the Cabinet Conncil. | At present in order to give validity toi the siightest proposec act the President is | compelled to stmmon the Coancil and | submit his ideas to the secretariesand | s ecretarie: Experience’ has taught | the Cubans, particularly in affairs of war, that such procedur ow. A corresyondent at Puerto Principe City | writes that General Jimenez Castellanos | received an order from Weyler to make | every possible effort to attack the Assem- bly and capture the old and newly electea members of the Cuban Government. Gen- eral Castellanos has replied that be willdo | all in his power. The task is not easy for | all the Spanish troops now in Cuba. | | While Gomez and Carrillo with a part of their forces in Santa Clara province have advanced to the west, and divisions of the Cnban army in Matanzas, Havana and Pinar del Rio harass the Spanish columns around the larze Spanish cities, including Havana, strong bodies of Cupans from the eastern partof Santa Clara and Santiago de Cuba have concen- trated in Paerto Principe to protect the Cuban representatives and the Govern- ment. An army of at least 25 000, includ- ing the pink of the Cuban cuvalry, will be around Jimaguay on September 2 to pro- tect the Assembly. Meanwhile Weyler with his forty bat- talions has been oblized to return to the west, where he is keeping the strongest part of his army. Could the Spaniards concentrate at Jimaguay the life and liberty of the Cuban Deputies would surely be in great jeopardy. But the clever plans of Gomez are producing their natural re- sults. Itis now clearly understood what was his object when he advancsd tothe west, ordered the recent raids on Havana and issued proclamations which have stirred to the depths the revolutionary spirit thronghout Matanzas, Havana and Pinar de! Rio, Up te this time nothing can be pre- dicted of the result of the election. It is believed that eight representatives will vote for General Garcia for President, | eight for General Bartolome Maso, and the other votes will be divided among Salvador Cisneros and Thomas Estrado Palma, the present Cuban delegate in the | United States. It will not be surprising 1f a compromise between the partisans of Garcia and Maso leads to the election of | Palma. ‘'The vote will be unanimous in favor of a secord term for General Gomez as commander-in-chief. SOME SPEEDY WHEEL RACES. Crack Riders Made Good Time at the | L. A. W. Feeting and One | 1 Fecord Is Lowered. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 7.—The racing end of the eighteenth annual meet- ing of the L. A. W. concluded to-day with a successful tournament at Willow Grove track. The visiting wheelmen were in | excess of any dav during the meeting, 20,000 attending the races this afternoon. The trial heats in the forenoon were well contested, but the heats later in the day brought out some of the most interesting contests of the meeting. The two-mile amateur championship fell to Irwin Powel!, the New York rider. The final heat in the half-mile profes- sfonal championship brought Bald, Kiser, Cooper, Gardiner, Stevens, Loughead, Meriens and Kimble to the scratch, Loughead, after his victories in the quar. ter and mile championships yesterday, was naturally picked to win, although Bald had & strong following. A. E. Wein- | ing acted as pacemaker. Kiser sprinted and caught the pacing wheel, with Loughead, Mertens and Bald foilowine. At the quarter the chain of Buld’s wheel bioke, compelling him to rctre. With Bald out Kiser had every thing bis own way, romping homea win- ner in one minute and three seconds Owen Kimble, a Southern rider, developed ereat speed and beat Mertens out for sec- ond place. Charley Ertz, the New York rider who won the mile amateur championship yes- terday, was picked to win the two-mile event to-day. He barely qualified for the final. Irwin Powell of New York. re- garded the fasiest amateur of his Btate | him out for cham pionship honors. R “THE LAST REVIEW.” Napoleon Playing With the Children of General Bartrand at St. Helena in 1820—a New Picture Painted by Hareld Piffard. Reproduced from *‘ Black and White.” it }l ‘ ast season, had designs on this cham- pionship that naturaily urged him to special efforts to-day. In one of the ure* tiest tinishes of the day he beatout E. W. Peabody, the Chicago flver, for first place by several incbes in 4:2 Llewellyn, another Westerner, beat Ertz for third place. Stevens, Coleman and Hovt finished the great race in the mile handicap profes- sional event. Stevens, with an allowance of forty yarde, won by a few inches from n of Boston, who had ftifty yards. i vietorv in the half-mile cham- Kiser's vignship is attr.buted by a great many to Bald’s mishap. This idea nettied the young Dayton rider, and in the mile open | professional racs the three great rivals, Bald, Cooper and Kiser, were pitted against one another, and'a race for blood resulted. Kiser justified the opinions of friends by r.ding one of the prettiest races ol the meet, crossing the tape in advance of Bald, who had tocon’ent himself with second place. Time, 2:00 3-5 Hausman, the Co cut rider, won the mile open amateur race in great style. There were nine starters iun the five- mile professional championship. Neither Kiser nur Cooper qualified, and if, was ex- pected that Baid woul: win, aithough the distance was somewhat out of his line. Six single pacemakers were used in the | race, which was ridden remarkably fast. Louis Caliahan of Buffalo led for four and a balf miles, but in rounding the | upper turn he got mixed up in a nasty spill with Newton and Weining Bald, who held position well back, tried 10 get in a sprint for the finish, but Mertens beat F. A. McFariand ran Ba:d a very clos> race for second place. While the time, 10 minutes 45 seconds. was not inside the record, it was fast time for a championship event. Ithongh the regular events were not concluded until a .ate hour, several a'- tempts were made to create new records. One rider was successful. Fred Shade, a Virgiman who has the repu ing one of the best coilegiate ridersin this country, went afier the third of a mile amateur worid’s record, and paced by a fas: *'quad’’ teaw reduced it to 32 4-5 seconds. None of the trials against the mile record compared with Arthur Gardiner's splend:d_effort of yesterday, when the cago flver's time was 1 minute 3935 ation of be- | across the road from Unity, where the seconds, only two-fi'ths o n_second out- | s de the record made by W. W. Hamilton under more favorable conditions. From a racing standpoint the meet has been a big success. The visiting wheel- men will te entertained to-morrow by a run to be taken to Atlantic City and return. The meet will end to-morrow. WHEELMEN AT STOCKTON. Board of Governors of the California Associated Cycling Clubs Heets. STOCKTON, CAL., Aug. 7.—The Board of Governors of the California Associated Cycling Clubs met to-might in the rooms of the Terminal City Wheelmen. Presi- dent A. P. Swain presided. Secretary Stanley G. Scovern presented his report, which contained a number of important matters relating to cycling. It recited the fact that since the formation of the orpanization Southern California haa broken away from the domination of the League of American Wheelmen and had joined the clubs forming the new as- sociation. Not only had the southern part of the State cut loose, but Arizona, Oregon and Washingion had severed th conuection with the old organization and joined the new. It was called to the at- tention of the Board of Governors that at Portland, Ore; 0a, on September 1, a race meet will be held under the sanction of the California Associated Cycling Clubs, at which professionals and amateurs un- der the ruling of the new organization will enter. Chairmen Welch of the Racing Board reported that the conirol of the organiza- tion was almost absolute in California, and Chairman Charles Adams of the com- mittee on road meets presented a decid- edly interesiing report. Later the ques- tion was raised as to what action should letaken with clubs holding road races without a sanction, and it was decided that only the riders would be suspended by the committee, as it had no jurisdiction over clubs. One of the chief topics under discussion ‘was that portion of the report of the racing committee concarning the iransfer of Wai- ter Leach of Sucramento from the amateur to the professional ranks. It was cleaily shown by Delegate Up- son of Sacramento, a member of the Capi- tel City Wheelmen, that Leach had in no manner violated the spirit of any rule of tue organ-zation, and when bis character as an amateur was vouched fcr half a dozen delegates were oa tueir feet de- manding his reinstatement to the ama- teur ranks. This was done by resolution, and L ach is still an amateur, It was decided to send President Jordan to Portiand at the expense of the organiza- tion, in order that he might make more converts during the coming Portiand race | meet. The ivitation of the Acme Club of Oakland to hold the next annual meet- ing there was accepted. A vote of thanks was extended 1o the Terminal City Wheel- men for their courtesies, and it was de- cided to tnrn out in procession in carriages in the parade thatis (o take place in the morning, To-night the cily was given over to the visiting wheeimen.

PITTSBURG, PA.,, Aug. 7.—The New York and Cleveland Gas-coal Company (De Armitt’s company) will probably ap- ply for an injunction on Monday in the United States court against the strixing miners. 1t was intended to make appli- cation to-day, but a question of jurisdic- tion arose. It was asserted that there was no stockholder of the compaiy a res- ident outside of the State. If this diffi- culty exists it will not stand long in tne way, as a few shares of stock can easily be transferred to a resident of another State. | Meetings were held to-day and to-night at Plum Creek. The strikers’ camp is jus: camp of negroes employed in the P tis- burg Bessemer plant is situated. Five | murders have already been committed among the negroes, and two blacks from the same camp have been sentenced to be hanged. There is more likelihood of trouble negroes and strikers than between the strikers and aevuties. The | negroes have already applied for rations at the strikers’ camp, and on being re- have two or three rifles and revolvers in Active work of securing signatures to the uniformity agreement was begun to- day. D. B. Blackburn, after signing it himself, began to circulate it among the river coal operators. A meeting of opera- tors was held to-day at the Monongahela House., They went over the list, each an- nouncing the names of the operators who bad promised to sign. When the work pledged themselves to sign. The list in- cludes the largest operators in the district. There were a number of ot hers reporied who are certain to sign when they see that by withholding their signatures they wiil be responsible for the failure of the movement to establish uniform condi- tions which would insure a fair rate of wages for the miners. TERRE HAUTE, INp., Aug. 7.—Secre- tary Kennedy of the Miners’ Union to-day rece.ved a message from Vice-President Liewellyn, who is at the head of the marching strikers in Southern Indiana, saying that the men in Booneville District struck to-day. The marchers, 200 strong, are now on their way to Evansville, where a mass-meeting will be beld to coax the miners working there out. The marchers will then go into Kentucky to the St. Ber- nard mines. President Knight returned to-day from four weeks’ work as an organizer in West Virginia and Kentucky. He and Secretary Kennedy say the cru- sade will be extended to lowa, Kansas and Missouri before tie end of the strike. They say the original call of the executive board included these States. Knigit says: “We have every reason to be hope- ful. There are constant accessions 10 our ranks and we have nowhere lost ground since the movement tezan.’” BEDFORD, INp, Aug. 7.—Trouble is feared from the sirikers at Petersburg. One hundred and ten strikers s.arted {rom Linton yesterday on a march to Peters- hurg, sixty miles aistant, where they in- tended to induce diggers to quit work. The first hall of the warch was uninter- rupted ana perfect discipline was enforced by J. U. Herley, the leader, who was on Coxey’s staflt during his march to Wash- ington. At Elorz, atter tramping thirty miles, they defermined to walk no further. The strikers boarded an Evansville and Ia- dianapolis train, ana, baving no money, tiey were ordered off. The trainmen re- fused 10 proceed and the miners took pos- session of the locomotive, but did not al tempt to run it. A call was sent to the Governor for troops, but none o' the strikers were armed he refused 10 send ai FAIRPORY, Orto. Aug. 7.—There wus rioting between the iron-ore shovelers and the strikers whom they displaced to-day, and several were severely injured. The riot reachea such proportions that the Shertff and his deputies were boldlv de- fied, and the Sheriff wired Governor Bush- | elubs and | has formulated 1ts demands. | persed the mrching strikers. | the armed citizens appealed to the au- nell for aid. The Governor sent Cempany M, Fith Regiment, to the scene, but when the troops arrived the rioters had suspended hostilities. The militia is now camped along the dcck front. There has long been a spiriv of discon- tent among the shoveiers, who are Finns. To-day they struck for a readjustment of wages, and several hundred Huns were ordered to work in p'ace of the striker: In obedience to orders the Huns sfarte: losding waiting vessels. Word was passed out by the patrol the strikers bad posted, and five minutes later 300 strikers swoop:d down upon the Huns. | The latter reiused to quit work, when the strikers vigorously attacked them with shovels. The Huns resisted, but after a fierce fight they were driven away. An attempt will be made to load the vessel« under the protection of the mi.itia on Monday. SPRINGKIELD, Ir., Aug. 7. — The State convention of miners and laborers An increase of pay is asked all along the line of about 10 cents a ton and a_proportionate in- crease to drivers and other laborers. Governor Tanner’s address to the conven- tion was received with cbeers. He said in concind “I believe the danger has been passed. Your conduct in this struggle challenges the admiration of every patriotic and fair- minded man. Successis all in your hands, If you fail in t it will be fault.

Armed bpickets guarded every street and the Sheviff telegraphed to Govcrnor Tanner urging him to send troops immediately. The s rained situa- tion 's a culmination of a series of excit- ing events to-day. This morning “Gen- eral” Bradley, at the head of 500 strikers, attempted to march througzh the town and intimidate employes in the mines by carrying clubs.

Their Battle at 84n Diego Lnds in the Ainth Eound. SAN DIEGO, CAL., Aug. 7.—In the hall of the San Diego Athletic Association to- night Harry Jones of Los Angeles defeated young Dempsey of the same city in nine rounds, winning the purse of $250 and the chamnionship lightweight belt of the Pacific Coast.. Jones weighed in at 127 pounds and his opponent ten pounds heauvier, but what Jones lacked in weight he made up in stockiness of build and endurance. The fight was called at 10:300'clocs, and Jamos O’Donnell was chosen re.ere\ln the first two rounds Jones forced the Tighting, and Dempsey ctinched frequently 1o avoid punishment. In the thiri Dempsey’s quickness and science showed to tine cifect. He ducked and cleverly parried nearly every blow of bis opponent and succeeded in reaching him fr.quently witn his left. In the fifth round, however, he went down from a heavy blow on the right side. He arose quickiy and sent in three stinging blows on Jones’ head and neck, but this was bis last effective work. From that on Dempsey was repeatedly floored, taking the full time to rise. In the sixth Demp:ey went down twice and woen time was called he was groggy. The :eventh showed hard fighting, with tie advaniage all on Jones’ side. Dem sey went down twice in tho eizhth, failing to get up the second time, but time was called 'before the tentn second was counted. The ninth round was short and decisive. After some preliminary sparring Jones led straight at Dempsey’s wind and Demp- { Bramble of Rollas’ stable winning bandily sey went d>wn like an ox. He failed to rise and was counted ont. ————— On an average an Englishman is 14 pounds heay.er than a Frenchman, ARGHDUKE WINS FROM HAMBURG Madden’s Colt Beaten in a Stake Event at Saratoga.

CHICAGO, Ir., Aug. 7.—Judge Tuley this morning aecided that the bicycle li- cense ordinance was illcgal. He issucd an injunction restraining the city from collecting it. News from country towns received here is 1o the eff-ct that they have retaliated in the matter of wheel taxes. River Forest may tax cyclists $1 a year. The ordinance was passed, but the date when it will go into effect was left blank. Whether it will be enforced depended on what Ohicago would do with its tag lew when River Forest wheelmen or vshicle- owners get on the b'g cliy’s streets. Following the example of Cicero the River Forest Village Board passed a cyclhinz ordinance s milar Lo that whicn was in force in Cnicago. Cycl sts who use the roads in River Fcrest will be subjacted to annual tax of a dollar, and the rider wili have to dis- pay = tag if he wishes to avo.d police in- terference. Vehicles will also be taxad, The measure was introducea by T. M. Juckson, the presiient, and was unani- mously adopted with but little discassion. A policy of retaliation was aiso sug- ge-ted at the last meeting of the Maywood Village Board. The majority of the mem- vers, however, opposed the idea, and the matter was allowed to drop.
