MORE OF A FLUKE
THAN TUESDAY'S RACE
Aietier Drtf tior Match Belweea tie Sham'
rock aod Colombia The Race
Declared Off.
By Telegntpb to the Momlns Bttr.
New York, October 5. Again to
day the sea refused to the Shamrock
and Columbia a field of conflict; again
v to-day the multitude which went out to
watch the contestants for the yachting.
championship of the world returned
disappointed and not a little dissusted
The question of supremacy of the two
great yachts is still as much an open
question as before they first met, as
the contest to-day was in some respecis
more of a fluke than that of Tuesday.
It was a drifting match almost from
start to tinisu.
The yachts crossed the line with a
Kmova nf fivn knots and the wind
never blew more than six knots, most
Zf the time less tkan three, and
nnrt of the time not a breath of
air was stirring. After sailing
four hours and forty-three min
utes, the yachts having covered only
twelve miles of the course to
the outer mark, the regatta committee
declared the race off, as it was mani
fest!? imnrKih!A with Lho breeze the u
blowing for the boats to round the
stake before the time limit expired,
mufh foes in ret back home a pain.
Daring the time in which the yachts
were at it, tue wiuu nuiw uuim
them dead before it over the line, had
ntil at the finish thev
were beatinc into its teeth. While
the wind held astern the Columbia
steadily outfooted her rival until she
was fully half a mile ahead, but in the
shifting, baffling winds that followed
during the last three hours, with the
rreat single stickers tacking and beat
ing and gybing to catch every streak
of wind, with fortune helping one
about as much as the other, the Sham
rock gradually worked her way up
until when
The Race Was Declared Off,
the two boats were about on even
terms, the Shamrock perhaps half a
length ahead, but so close was the
Columbia that Captain Barr could
have thrown a biscuit to the foreigner.
The only lesson learned by the nau
tical sharps from to-day's trial of the
abilities of the two boats is that in
light weather conditions the Colum
bia is the superior in running and
reaching and the Shamrock slightly
better in beating. There has as yet
been no indication of what either boat
. can do in a piping whole sail breeze.
The most dramatic, picturesque and
interesting incident of the day oc
curred just at the finish, and it repaid
the thousands of sight-seers for the
disappointment they were experienc
ing. Just as the regatta committee
boat hung out the balloon, the triatic
stay which declared the race off. the
spectator?, all of whom were in doubt
as to which boat was ahead, were
watching the yachts with intense in
terest. They had split tacks and now
the Columbia was sailing toward the
Irish boat on the port tack, with the
evident intention of crossing her bow.
The water between them grew nar
rower and narrower until she was
close enough to pass a line aboard.
Everybody aboard the excursion
fleet expected her to cross the
Shamrock's bow, but Captain Barr
found it too risky, and as the Ameri
can champion rose in a queenly fash
ion on a heavy swell he put his helm
down and came over on the starboard
tack under the Shamrock's lee. It was
a disappointing moment for the pa- j
triots. Although the Columbia had her !
nose in front, the challenger lapped her
and held the weather gauge. Just at
this instant the signal went up declar
ing the race off, and before the as ton- j
i&hed spectators realized what had hap
pened they saw both yachts, whose
skippers had evidently been waiting
for the signal, turn about on their
heels and head for home.
U. S. WARSHIPS ORDERED
TO PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
The Brooklyn, Nashville, New Orleans,
Bancroft and Badger to Reinforce
Watson's Fleet at Manila.
Bt Telegraph to the Morning; Bt&r.
Washington, October 5. The
Navy Department was busily en
gaged to-day in arranging to rein
force the fleet in the Philippines,
as suggested yesterday by Admiral
Dewey in the course of his confer
ence with the President. In going
over the field of available ships it was
found this morning that the plan
conceived last evening of sending the
Marietta and the Machias with the
Brooklyn would have to be modified
so as to drop the two gunboats. In
addition to the Brooklyn, the follow
ing ships will be added to Watson's
fleet: Nashville, New Orleans, Ban
croft and Badger.
It is Admiral Dewey's idea that ves
sels of a larger type than were first
thought of should be sent to Manila.
He pointed out that the smaller class
of gunboats would be exposed to a
good deal of unnecessary danger if
they were sent out. To carry out the
plans of cutting the insurgents off
from their supplies these vessels must
be scattered around among the islands
often without consorts, and thus ex
posed to sudden attack. The larger
vessels will not only be able to take
care of themselves in such case, but
may serve as parent ships, from, which
may be operated a number of theamall
launches that have been doing such
good service.
By noon the department had com
pleted the ship movement and was in
position to send sailing orders to the
ships chosen to go to Manila. The
New Orleans was telegraphed to pro
ceed at once to the New York navy
yard to have some changes made in
the sralley apparatus. This change can
be made in six days, when the ship
will start on her voyage. The Brook
lyn will be turned back from Hamp
ton Roads as soon as she comes within
signalling distance and sent to New
Tork, whence she sailed this morning
before the department could reach her
with orders. She will be ready to sail by
the end of next week. A cable
gram was sent to the Nashville at San
Domingo to proceed at once to Manila,
via Sues, and she is expected to get off
within twenty-four hours. Orders
were also telegraphed to the Badger at
Mare Island to proceed to the Philip-
Eines as soon as possible. No orders
ave an yet been sent to the Bancroft
at Boston.
It wan fuzesteii at the Navy De
partment that three of the four ves
sels now under orders for Manila will
para through the Suez canal, and so
will be available to divert to South
Africa should matters there take shape
requiring the presence of a United
States naval force.

Manila, October 5. The expedition
sent to the Orani river under the com
mand of Captain Corn well, to recover
the sunken gunboat Urdaneta, re
turned to Cavite yesterday with the
hull of the boat,af ter bombarding Orani
and landing a force. Captain Corn-
well brought one prisoner. Lieutenant
Franklin, of the army gunboat Laeurfa
de Bay, guided the expedition, mere
were no casualties.
On Mnndav mominsr the expedition
entered the river and anchored above
Orani, near the Urdaneta, the inhabi
tants of the town simultaneously
evacuating it and carrying their be
longings witn them. Tne gunnoais
bombarded Orani, the beaches, and
the surrounding country for half an
hour, receiving a Mauser volley in
reply. The Urdaneta was towed off
the bar about 10 o'clock that evening,
the operations of the Americans being
unmolested. The following morning
the bombardment was renewed to
cover a landing of one hundred and
eighty blue-jackets and marines about
half a mile above the town. On en
tering Orani the Americans experi
enced a slight rifle fire from the Fili
pino trenches. They found the town
untenanted and that the shells had
ignited -a few huts.
' Plot to Fire Manila.
The archbishop of Manila notified
General Otis that there was a plot on
foot to burn the residences of the gov
ernor general and the archbishop, to
gether with several government build
ings and banks, but the plot failed to
materialize, possibly because of a dis
play of force.
The first reports regarding the affair
at Paranaque last night seem to have
been much exaggerated. The facts
are that a small band of insurgents,
following the bay road, poured a
volley into the Tillage and later an
other into Las Pinas, with the result
that two or three houses were burned.
The cracking of the bamboo caused it
to be telegraphed to Manila that there
had been much shooting.
The United States transport Warren,
from San Francisco, with 1,200 re
cruits, has arrived.
The United States gunboat Wheel
ing, irom Vancouver marcn $, via
Honolulu, while passing: St. Vincent,
in Northern Luzon, shot down a Fili
pino flag-. The Filipinos fired a volley
at the Wheeling's men who were
sleeping on deck and the Wheeling
bombarded the settlement.
Ajnlnaldo Issues Orders.
Aeuinaldo. according- to a report
brought to Manila to-day by a Domin
ican friar from the north, has issued
orders to the Filipino soldiers in the
northern provinces to return to their
towns and to resume farming. This
story lacas confirmation; but the ru
mor may be in accordance with Agui
naldo's policy of keeping the country
as productive as possible by using his
men in alternate shifts on the farms or
under arms. Dagupan, San Fernan
do and Delicinit, which are under the
guns of the United States warships, are
supposed to be evacuated. It is al
leged that the evacuation order calls
upon the male inhabitants to be order
ly in case of the arrival of the troops
and expresses the hope that the Amer
icans will protect the towns.
SCHOONER CARRIE A. LANE.
Water-Loned and Abandoned Crew Res
caed by British Steamer Rhodesia
and Landed at Norfolk.
Bt Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Norfolk, Va., October 5. The
British steamship Rhodesia, Captain
Bates, from New Orleans to Hamburg,
arrived at Lambert's Point this morn
ing, having on board the crew of
the schooner Carrie A. Lane, of Bath,
Me., who were picked up in the Gulf
stream, , shipwrecked. Tuesday. The
crew is composed of Captain J. Frank,
Skofield, whose wife is with him, and
eight men. Their experience was a
most thrilling one.
The Lane, which was a three-masted
schooner, sailed from Apalachicola
for Noank, Conn., on September 16th,
with a load of lumber, and had good
weather up to about Tuesday of last
week, when northeast winds set in.
She labored heavily afterward, but
had no accident until Sunday afternoon
All hands were at dinner when the
vessel suddenly shipped a heavy sea
and shifted her deck load of lumber.
She immediately began to leak and
when the pumps were first put to work
she had eleven inches of water in her
hold. At 9 o'clock Sunday night there
were seven and a half feet of water,
and the crew took to the deck house.
Here they remained until Tuesday
morning, when a life-boat was sent
out from the Rhodesia in charge of
chief officer Jewell, and they were
taken on board the British ship. In
the attempt to hoist the life -boat to
the deck, after the party had been
rescued, it was smashed by the heavy
rolling sea and lost. Captain Bates
says that the wreck of the Lane is
right in the track of vessels plying
along this coast, and is very danger
ous to navigation. Most of the Lane's
crew reside in Baltimore.

MALLORY STEAMER LEONA.
Borned and Sank at Her Wharf in New
York Carro Worth Over $250,000
a Total Loss.
Bv Telegraph to the Horning 8 tar.
New York, October 5. The Mallory
Line steamer Leona was burned and
sunk at her wharf in East rivtr to
night. The cargo, consisting of to
bacco and 8.000 bales of cotton, and
valued at $250,000 to $300,000. is .a to
tal loss and the boat is little better than
a wreck.
It is believed that the Leona, which
sailed from Galveston, September
27th, caught fire at sea several days
ago, since which time she had pro
ceeded at full speed, with battened
hatches, for this port At 3 30 this
afternoon the Leona came racing up
East river to her pier, where haste was
made to debark the passengers and
open the hatches. An hour later an
army of men was vainly fighting a
fire in the steamer's hold. Finally the
ship was scuttled.
About half a dozen men who were on
the starboard side of the boat wereun
able to get to the pier, and kept work
ing as if nothing was happening to en
danger their lives. They continued
until the ship was partially submerged
beside her pier. The men were thrown
into the water. Deputy Chief Duaue
and fireman Thos. McFarland, of en
gine No. 12, had to battle for life and
were rescued with difficulty. Several
of the fire boats engaged in tne work of
rescuing the firemen were nearly car
ried down by the sinking of the Leona.
At 7.30 o'clock to-night a report that
shook the deck plates forward showed
the presence of gas and possibly pow
der in the forward hold. Another re
port came about fifteen minutes later,
and a third in about ten minutes. The
explosions were not serious enough to
cause a further inflow of water.
At about 8 15 the flames were under
control at the main hatchway and the
entire work was confined to the for
ward hatch. The flames were so per
sistent that they were not under con
trol for a long time and the New
Yorker was kept at the boat playing
on her all night.
The cause of the fire is a mvstery.
The boat left Galveston on Wednes
day, September 27th. It was said by
one of the passengers that three days
ago the hatches were battened down
and upon questions being put to the
captain he said the cause was the high
seas. From that time the ship was
kept at full speed. . The passengers
said that on several occasions they had
detected smoke, but had not thought
particularly about it as the captain
said all was well.
Captain Wilber denies that the ship
was on fire at sea. and says that the
first he knew of the "fire was when the
hatches were lifted to-day after ar

Proceedings to be Instituted by tbe Widow

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, October 5. The Times
to morrpw will say :
The statement is made on the author
ity of friends of Mrs. H. B. Plant, the
widow of the founder of the Plant sys
tem of railroads and steamers, that legal
proceedings will be instituted soon to
set aside the provisions of Mr. Plant's
will and obtain for the widow and her
son a portion of the dead millionaire's
estate. The will provided only for
the payment of a stated income to
Mrs. riant and her son, tbe entire
estate being held in trust for the bene
ht of the grandson.
Mrs. Plant, who is still compara
tively young, was the second wife of
11. ts. riant, and ner son was a step
son of the financier. It is asserted
that Mr. Plant desired that his estate
should grow to large proportions, and
therefore he refrained from dividing it
among. the members of his family. His
own son, Mortimer, receives merely
an income. '

tee at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning,
in the office of Assistant Secretary
Allen of the navy, when the first con
ference regarding the gift of a bouse

the fund will amount to $60,000, and
that in view of the fact that a large
marble concern of the Green Moun

altogether likely that one will now be

And Spain's resentment of England's

The jingo press pooh-poohs the idea

The British position in Natal was

Special Star Correspondence.
Bubguw, N. a, October S. The
work of Cupid and Hymen was never
more agreeably crowned than in the

evening at 8.30 o'clock.
The groom, Mr. E. A. Armstrong, is
one of the most popular and enterpris
ing youg men in this community, hav

She was a favorite pupil last year in
the Kenansville College.
The church was filled at an early
hour by a crowd of interested friends
and relatives. Mrs. Sidbury and Mrs.
Pullen, of the Rocky Point neighbor
hood, had transformed the sacred edi
fice into a veritable bower of. beauty,
and into this at the appointed hour

of Misses Eula Bordeaux, Berta Wil
hams, Carrie Shaw, Delia Bordeaux
and Gussie King, accompanied by
Messrs. Prank King, Allie BowdeD,
Alva Cowan, Eugene Schulkenand J.
B. Black. Following these came Miss

peared in the opposite aisle with his
brother. Mr. J. B. Armotrong. The
party grouped just before tbe flower
embowered pulpit, where the cere
mony was performed by Kev. u. sr.
McGeachy. The happy couple, fol
lowed by their attendants, left at once
for a reception given at Mrs. Bow
den's. The array of presents displayed
at the home was but an evidence of
the popularity of the two hearts so
happily made one.
Thanks are due Miss Maeerie Wil
liams, of Mt. Williams Presbyterian
Church, for the skillfully rendered
marches which added so greatly to the
pleasure or tbe marriage ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong will make
Ashton their home for the future.
