thnt the eompany cannot carry out its

the association, and the plants cannot be

the corporation.
According to the reports from the or
pnnizod tube workers who are striking
ill sympathy with the Amnliramated as
sociation, there is a lot of trouble for the
CII.UILKS M. SCHWAB,
hasty action they took in walking ont
of the plants of the National Tube com
pany without the fftrmnlity of submitting
their cause to the general otriiors of the
American Federation of Labor. It has
been discovered, so the men say. that
th-y have violated the constitution of the
federation, which provides that before
going out on strike a local lodge reoeiv
inif u charter direct from the American
Federation of Labor mutt submit a list
of grievances to the executive council of
the federation for approval. Failure to
do this cuts off the striking lodge from
all strike benefits from the federation or
from all other nllled trndes unions.
I'rusideut Shaffer reiterates bis positive
stntemeut that all efforts for peace that
nre being rands by the Civic federation
are without authority from him. He
My that if otlicial overtures are made
by the combine they will be considered,
hut that was all. He denies that he
knows any move that is being made In
New York except what he has si-en in
the papers, lather othoials of the Anial
gr. nutted association say there is no
change in the strike. Everything is quiet,
and the men are satisfied with the way
thiins are s dug.

HAVANA. Auk. 27.--CH the einht per

by the yellow fever board during the 1nt
three week three have died. Three oth
er who took the fever are expected to
recover. One ha not developed the dis

developed yellow fever, nlthoimh it is too
aily to say what will happen iu that

yellow fever hoard was to subject to mo

and all had recovered, nud the theory of
the board wa thnt if some hundred or
more persons could have been bitten with
aimilar mult, a report could have been
published ahowlnu how apparently nfe
and easy it was to become immune. After
this had been published the entire popula

ninny cases gave mild results thnt the Im

READY TO SIGN.
Chinese Plenipotentiaries Will Tot i
Their ninea to the I'rotoeol.
VKKINO. Aug. 2S. I-l Hung Chang,
and Prince Ching. the Chinese plenlpo- J
tentiaries, have notified the foreign min
isters thnt they are prepared to sign the
protocol.
This means that a courier has arrived
with the two edicts asked for in regard
to ttie punishment of certain Chinese olli
oials in the provincial list, which the mill
later had allowed the Chinese to exam-,
ine and decide upon the punishment, and
the question of what examinations shall
be prohibited as a punishment for the
Boxer uprising.
A third edict was also received by tel
erraph in regard to the order for rar.ing
of certain forts by China. These three
edicts cover all the points at variance
between the ministers nnd the plenipo
tentiaries. The Chinese represcntativca
nsked for these edicts some time ngo. The
delay was probably due to the desire of
the court to consult with the southern
viceroys. Chang Chih Tung and I.lu Kuu
Yi. The protocol will probably be signed
tomorrow.

lowed the optimistic hopes ns to the effect I
of Lord Kitchener's proelaniafion. Com- .
mentiug upon the meager news from the ,
front. The Times says: "It is quite clear
that if we want nn end of the war we
must strike hard and often. Proclama
tion nnd blockhouses are all very well
and may be useful, but the experience of !
the Spaninrds ha shown thut the most

rock II was given a good long spin yes
terday both inside and outside the Hook.
She wns tried iu windward work nnd
broad and close reaching. In fact, the
challenger was given everything except
a spinnaker run in n breeze that some
times piped up to 12 knots and at no
time wns under eight knots. The good
opinion of her speed, merits and ability
to curry lofty canvas wns emphasired.
Many yachting experts who saw he:
performance call her a wonderful Lout.
SIR THOMAS LITTON.
All say she is the most daugerous propo
sition that has ever come over the wa
ters hunting for the America's cup. She
had life in her every minute. She gath
ers way with remarkable rnpidity, is
quick in stays, poiuts very high nud
stands up under a tremendous spread of
canvas like the proverbial steeple. At no
time yesterday did she put her rail un
der, eveu when wearing around closn
hauled and taking a 12 knot breeze
abeam. With nil this she is n very beau
tiful boat under sail nud taken altogether
is a decided improvement over the old
(Shamrock,
The only new sail tried
was her lar-
gest club topsail.
It was a revelation to
those who saw it and is certainly one of
liatsey s nnest creations. it appinrt
much larger than the topsails on the Co
lumbia and Constitution. It extends far
ther out over the naff nnd rims an higher
above the topmast. It is said that the
distance ftmm the bottom of the mast to
the top of the topsail club is over lltl
feet. The sail sheets out very well, nnd
there is less looseness along the head
than on either of the American boats.
Sir Thomas Lipton was on board dur
ing the entire trial and when seen at
Saudy Hook nfter th racer picked np
her moorings seemed much pleased with
her showing.
"This is the twentieth spin which the
boat has had," said he, "including her
races on the other side. She is improv
ing nil the time, and I am more pleased
with her than ever before. At no time
did we curry any water on deck. She
had life every minute, and if she does not
carry hack the cup the American boat
that beats her may well iuspire pride in
your people."
A uotable feature of the day was the
constant saluting which the challenger
received from ocean steamers dowu to
the smallest of launches.
The Shamrock covered the nine miles
from the Southwest spit to Owl's head
against the tide of three knots in TM
minutes. The run buck over the same
course, including six tacks, was done in
57 minutes.

CLAIMS FOR MANGLE ISLAND.
Sovereignty Over Them nn1 Other
Bmnll Island Asserted hj
Mrnrntcnn.
The pnvernrnfnt of Nicaragua has
recently put in a claim to aovereipnty
over several groups of small islands,
i ik-Ui (! i li p the Mangle islands, lying
off the Atlantic coast of the Isthmus
of Pnnnmn, ays the Washing-ton Star.
The quest Ion arose w hen President
Ioubet of France recently pave his
decision ns to the boundary between
Costa Kie.n nnd Colombia. The deci
sion awarded to Colombia n consider
able part of the territory in dispuje,
including the valuable bay of Chirirjnl,
on the Atlantic side, nnd also several
pronps of outlying islands which were
in dispute between the two jrovern
jneiits. When the award was made
known Nicaragua came forward with
a claim of ownership over the niall
protip of islands. It was answered
In behalf of Colombia that President
Loubet hnd carefully pone over the
record establishing- ownership, and
thnt these had failed to disclose nny
authority on the part of Nic.nrnpua
to o'.ahn them. The negotiations hnve
rot proceeded beyond this point. The
Island are rather unimportant except
for their strategic location off the
easterly entrance to any canal route
which may be chosen. For this reason
the controversy has received the at
tention of the isthminn canal commis
sion, which has not, however, had oc
casion to take definite action on the
subject.
