BERLI Aug. 19.—The Vossische Zei- tung to-day, discussing the attitude of New York newspapers regarding Euro- pean vessels going to the Caribbean Sea, points out that a large United States na- val force has been sent there and raises the question whether “the American m. perialists” view the present situation as offering a welcome occasion for extending the sphere and power of the United States or whether it is an honest attempt to re- etore peace. The paper continues: 1f the Americans intend nothing more than to protect the reasonable interests of oltizen of the United States, they should rejoice at the presence of the European vessels having the same object in view. Even the co-operation of various powers would be poesible. But the very fact that the United States Minister ot Caracas undertook the business of the congeed Colombian Minister was celculated to arouse distrust of the intentions of the Washington Government, which thereby got control of events at one of the most important points. Referring to the report circulated in ‘Washington that the trouble is likely to spread to Nicaragua and Ecuador, the Vossische Zeitung says: It does not look as if the United States was iine io guench the fames, but, on the con: trary, as if that country were trying to spread them as much as possible, in order, in any case, to have a pretext for military interven- was hit in the mouth with a frag- | e wounded men were at once taken to | of | legations here has received con- | Defeat of Coast Champion Ernest Folger N FRANCIRSCO CALL.- TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1901.

Silent on the Links Arouses the Southern California Contingent to Exuberant Enthusiasm---Burlingame’s Rough-Riding Team, Captained by Tom Driscoll, Easily Triumphs Over the San Mateo’s, Under Direction of Walte r Hobart EL MONTE, Aug. 19—t is the quality that counts at Del Monte these days and not the quantity The qualifying for the golf tour- nament began t meorning, the £ | opening of the polo tournament was in | | full swing this afternoon, and, excepting | the players, of course, the golf and polo enthusiasts have not turned out strong enough to alarm any one. At the golf links this morning there was scarcely more than a handful of smart maids and matrons to cheer the players on. It was different with the polo game in the after- { noon; everybody turned out, but every- | body all told did not make much showing. This must not be construed to mean that golf is losing hold as a fash- jionable game. Everybody plays golf and talks golf, but everybody is not many. There is an irate millionaire here who de- | clares the next time he comes to the hotel he is going to wear baggy trousers and golf ca of a| } » and buckle on his back, in | good, stout leather bag, all the pic- | turesque golf implements. “Then I'll be shown some considera- tion,” he says. “That's the only way to | do it. It's the brassy that counts these | days, not your bank account.” | - They are putting all the blame for the slim attendance on the weather, and c tainly it has been cold and dismal enough | to warrant all the mean things that can | be said. Those who watched the polo game this afternoon came a with blue noses and chilled hands. and the restoring_warmth of the clubhouse and the cheering fire in the great hall of the paid attention to the golf game were treated to a few surprises, first and fore- | most of which was that the home teams {did not make the showing it was | hoped they would; and, last but not least, that the men from the southland.were | more than apt to carry off the honors. Tobin-Hobart Feud Again. | The blazing up once more of the old | Tobin-Hobart feud came. dangerously | near postponing the polo game. Cyril To- bin declared early .in the aft ! he would not play with Walter Hobart. | There was a gathering of the clans and veral secrét meetings, but by the time that Driscoll's tailor forwarded him sui able togs in which to take his place in | the tournament, and which' would make the theft of his wardrobe not too appar- ent, the Tobin-Hobart matter ~was all patched up and Tobin lined up with the Burlingame team, riding to honors under Captain Driscoll Young Joe Tobin has managed to create a sensation here and arouse to a becom- ing degree of excitement the members of the exclusive set whose scutcheon sets forth, ou can’t astonish us.” Joe ap- peared on the polo field this afternoon in the very latest English rig. t ducks looked exactly like everybody else’s wkite ducks; so did his boo leather leggin: But it was his headgear that made the admiring onlookers elong- ate their necks. On Joe’s shapely cran- fum was perched the very latest thing— the English polo cap. 4 ‘An English polo cap is a very impres- sive affair and most becoming, at least it to Joe. To the unitiated it looks most like a smoking cap.. It is of a rich blue cloth, elaborately embroidered in gold, | and kept in place by means of an elastic worn behind his ears.

Fashionable Gathering Views Some Exciting Contests. DEL MONTE, Aug. I.—Although the and ‘an overhanging fog threatened to envelop the expectant throng of goif- ers early gathered to participate in the men’'s amateur competition for the Del Monte cup. Of the original twenty-one entries sixteen easily qualified in the opening play, at eighteen holes. The score was as follows: Fred S, Str sdid E. Folger, 80; A. Fol- ger, 80; C. E H. M. Sears, 8: H M. ‘'Wilshire, §3; E. ent, 83; Lansin logE, 84; Crosby, '$6; C. E. Orr, 87; J. S. Cravens, 88; R, M. Fitzgerald, 88; C. M. Hul bard, 89; W, S. Brown, 8; W. H. Holliday, 90; W. O'Connor, 9. After the noon hour, the drawing hav- ing taken place, match play. was resumed. Of course, the hcpes of the north reposed in the prowess of the coast champion, the Oakland golfer, Ernést Folger, and his overthrow .at the hands of the Southern Californian E. D. Silent, who won by a decidedly the sensation of the day. The campfires of the southern contingent burn brightly to-night, for in the event of the downfall of Golfer Silent, C. E. Maud and C. E. Orr are said to be drivers and put- ters far above the ordinary. After the game Champion Folger told friends that he had no apologies to make. “I met a_better player,” said he. His conqueror, Mr. Silent, is especially strong at putting, although a stranger to the links, and to this branch of the Scottish game Folger aitributed his defeat more than to anything else. With such a formidable and worthy competitor as Mr. Folger dethroned, Fred §. Stratton, the attorney, considered by many. the coming player of the year, is now picked to give the south country folk a rub. Cool, possessed of splendid judg- ment and unruffied by the presence of many_spectators, he is looked upon as the dark horse of the tournament. | { | IERCE CITY, Mo., Aug. 19.—Will Godley, a negro, was- lynched by a mob composed of armed citl- | zens shortly after dark to-night for the murder of Miss Caselle ‘Wild, whose dead body was found to-day in the woods near here. The mob went to the jail about 9 o'clock and battered down the doors and threw ropes around the necks of Godley and Jean Carter, another suspect. Godley was hanged in front of the Lawrence Hotel and his body riddled with bullets. Carter’s guilt was not clear- 1y established, and he was taken back t Jail. s The crime was committed at the Frisco raflway bridge, half a mile from the rail- way station.

A farmer. in an adjoining fleld witnessed the as- sault, but hearing no outcry did not in- terfere. Later, when the negro was seen running down the track he gave the alarm. The girl's body was found lying in the weeds under the bridge. A posse was organized promptly and set out in rsuit of the negro. Godley and Carter ere promptly arrested. Gene Carter was afterward taken out by the mob, riddled with bullets and left dying in the street. Carter confessed that he knew who committed the crime and charged Joe Clark, a railroad porter, now away on his run, with being the culprit. The mob has arranged. to meet Clark when he arrives at Monnett n the mora- ing and hang him. - Godley, the first negro lynched, had served a term in the pen- jtentiary for assaulting a woman 60 years ola. z [ ] he will pay $2 a hundred.

In the afternoon the sturdy and rough- riding polo players attracted a large at- tendance to the track, the infield skirting the green field being crowded with equip- ages of every description, bearing loads of gayly attired ladies and their escorts. Owing to some petty grievances among the players the ensembles of the two op- posing teams was changed and rechanged, until it was nearly 4 o'clock before Ref- eree ““Bob" Betiner tossed the ball on the green and called play. Then the make-up was as follows: Burlingames—Tom Driscoll, _captain: Tobin, Teddy Howard and Joe Tobin younger.” San Mateos—Walter Hobart, captain; Char- ley Dunphy, R. Tobin, Francis Carolan.

After playing the first period, the lackadaisical Blues re- covered from their attack of ennui just after the train had pulled out from the station, only to stare defeat in the face by a score of 7 to 2. Popular Tom Driscoll played like a demon for his team, carrying, off all honors and evoking constant frounds of applause by his clever sorties. On the side of the Blues, Walter Hobart appeared to have lost none of his old time dash or skill, but the ponies he bestrode, while gamy, were not the trained veterans of former seasons Charley Dunphy, a .and utterly fearless when it came to taking any old chance, seemed to have lost his hitting eve. Frank Carolan, well mounted, of course, showed great provement in his work and was always on the firing line. [} Neither team scored during period.

With careful nursing, the phy- siclans say, they -will soon recover their former strength. Shut off from the upper world, the men knew nothing of . the catastrophe that killed so many of their comrades and im- prisoned them. They knew that some- thing had severed their connection with the crib. They knew that beyond the air lock behind which they had taker refuge the air was too foul ta breathe. But they supposed that the trouble was temporary. Each day they expected their comrades to come down the tunnel and rescue them. When their signal for help, tapping on the alr pipe, was at last znswered From the crib, Kest and Eugene were prepar- ing to eat raw mule meat. Their deliv- erance came in the nick of time to make unnecessary this desperate resort to keep them alive. L i I i e 2 2T Fremskridtskvinde.
