Ten Eyck, although only about 18 years Old, is the rowing won- der of this decade. He has shown his superiority over many of the crack oarsmen in this country with ridiculous ease. Ten Eyck comes from the oldest row- ing family in this country. His father, James E. Ten Eyck, was famous in his day, and so was his grandfather, but the youngster promises to put the best performances of each on the shelf. He represented the Wachusetts Boat club of Worcester in the rowing cham- pionships at Saratoga last year and surprised every one by winning the in- termediate single sculling event, lower- ing the course record from 10m. 00%s. to 9m. 59s. In September 'of last year he Won the senior single sculls at the New England Amateur Rowing association. He was then matched to meet Joe Whitehead of Cambridge, Mass, who held the cham- pionship of America for single Sculls. The race took place on Oct. 1 at Wor- cester, and the boy wonder defeated the champion over a mile and a half course with a turn with the greatest ease. Fate of Is Missing Prospector.

RELEASE OF HAVANA MERCHANTS. Arrests Due to Excessive Zeal —— Seized Property Restored. Havana, July 16.—More than 50 of the most prominent merchants and brokers in Havana. Were arrested by Spanish officers and taken to the city prison on the charge of shipping goods to the in- terior of Cuba without taking out a li- cense as required by an edict of Captain General ’Weyler. Packages of medicine and ammunition for the insurgents are alleged to have been discovered on trains. Among the persons arrested were Senor Quesada, formerly mayor of Ha- vana: Senor Ximenez. general manager of the United railroads, and others equal- l_v prominent. The arrests were made dur- ing Captain General VVeyler’s absence. Although the order of arrest included 72 wholesale dealers, only 32 were taken into custody, and orders for their release were issued before the other warrants had been served. The arrests were due to the excess of zeal of the military judge. The release of the merchants was brought about through the intervention of the higher authorities, and the de- tained merchandise, numbering 1,700 packages, which had been seized at Cienfuegos and which had been shipped ‘ in accordance with Captain General VVeyler’s decree of Jan. 1, was turned over to the consignees. Official advices state: that a band of insurgents approached Gibara on the night of July 6 and placed a dynamite bomb on the railroad track. They then retired and lay in wait until 7 o’clock the next morning, when the bomb was exploded by an electrical device, wreck- ing an. engine and one car. The engi- neer of the locomotive was killed and his fireman was wounded; also a ser- geant and two other persons. The mili- tary commander of the place at once issued an order that every resident should place a lighted lamp in front of his house, and that these lamps should be kept burning every night in order to prevent the insurgents entering the town under cover of darkness. Spanish Federalists For Autonomy. Madrid, July 16.—The Federal party held the annual fete in honor of the anniversary of the taking of the Bas- tille.

He said that if the Federalists wished to see Cuba pacified and the Philippines return to a condition of law and order they must assert their strength and declare for independence. POINT FOR SILVBRITES. First Practical Step Toward International Bimetallic Conference. London, July 16.—A joint proposal of bimetallism was presented today on be— half of the United States and France at a conference held at the foreign office between Baron de Courcel, the French ambassador, representing France; Em— bassador Hay, Senator Wolcott, former Vice President Stevenson and General Paine, representing the United States; Lord Salisbury, Sir Michael Hicks- Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, and Mr. A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury, representing England, and Lord George Hamilton, secretary of state for India, representing India. The proposal, after some discussion, was taken under advisement, and the British cabinet will give its answer at a subsequent conference. It is reported this evening that an international conference will be sum- moned, probably to meet in the United States, with Great Britain participat— ing. All the delegates will be unin- structed with regard to the ratio, al- though it is well known, of course, that the United States idea is 16 to 1 and France 15%» to 1. According to today's report England’s participation would mean India’s, and there is a prospect of some concessions as to the Bank of England’s reserve and silver certificates.
