MR * WATSON’S VIEWS
The Designer of the Valkyrie Talks of
the Recent Cup Races.
DEGLARES HE IS OUT OF IT.
lnsinuatlon 'rhat His Yacht Was Interfered
With‘ Purposely—He Defends Dunc
raven’s Course and Compli- .
- ments Herreshofi‘.
GLASGOW, Oct. 12.—G. L. Watson, de-
signer of the Valkyrie III, ‘has a column
interview in The Citizen, though he has
svewadly a deep rooted aversion to being
Interviewed in consequence of his experi-
ences in America.
He says that if he told anything as a
joke in America they would take it as
absolute ,fact. adding, “They have no
more sense of humor than 9 cow.”
As an illustration of the ethics of a cer-
tain type of American journalism Watson
lnstanced the stealing of the Valkyrie’s
sail plan, which was extolled as a mag-
nificent journalistic feat. ‘
“Have you had enough America’s cup
aontests?”-. ’ .
“Yes. Before I went away I said that
this would be my last, except ‘under ex-
It was a thor-
oughly unsatisfactory contest. We are
just where we were. Nobody knows any-
thing about the merits of the two boats.”
“Why is the Valkyrie detained on the
other side?”
“I don’t know what Dunraven’s ideas
are. Quite possibly he might want to
have a try under the usual regatta condi-
tion's. From what I saw of excursion
steamers this time I would not put any-
thing past them.
“Mark you, I make a clear distinction
between cxcursionists and committee and
yachtsmen. The rabble interfered with
the Valkyrie more than with the Defend-
er. When the Valkyrie was astern, they
kept round the boat that was astern.
Whenrthe Valkyrie was ahead, they kept
round the boat ahead. If they had always
kept round the boat ahead, it would have
been only human nature.
That Little “If.”
“Still, whenever the rabble is to be
catered to, it is the same way.' I have
seen as bad on the Clyde in proportion to
numbers. The American crowd was enor-
mous.
“I think we should have beaten the
Defender just the same if she had sustain- 1
ed no damage. With the exception of the
broad reach from weather to the second ;
mark, she carried all the sail she would
Many American
yachtsmen congratulated me on a genuine
victory.” '
The Defender, Watson continued, was a.
better heat than the 'Vigilant, costing
three times the money, but he would not
admit that she was superior in sailing
power to the Valkyrie. He would be glad
to tackle her again in dinary regattas,
here or on the other side. He acknowl-
edged that the Defender was a better boat -
on the reach, but not on any other point.
There has been comment upon Dunv
raven’s action in merely starting in the
third race.
On this point Watson said: ,
“Dunravan’s action has not been accu-
rately represented here. When the second
race was finishing, and when, so far as he
knew, he had won, because no one on
board knew of the protest, so much an-
noyed was Dunraven by the steamboats
that he had determined not to race again
unless the promise was given that a clear
course Would be maintained.
“That evening he wrote a letter inti-
mating this to the committee, but learn-
ing of the protest against him he (in what
I think was a most gentlemanly, chival~
rous way) would not permit the letter to
be opened until after the protest was de-
cided, fearing that it might influence the
committee in his favor, '
“No Contract With the Public.”
"I for my part see no difficulty in se-
curing a clear course, once it is admitted
that sportsmen have the right to conduct
contests to their own satisfaction and are
under no contract with the public.”
Watson added that he was sorry to see
in a British sporting paper aspersions on
American sportsmen generally.
The men having the conduct of club
aflairs Were honorable, all of them, and
while fallible he was confident that they
would never commit any injustice. Watson
said he had not gleaned any new wrinkles
from Amerian yachts.
He saw that they took far bigger risks
than Englishmen in the way of construc-
tion, more especially as to spars and fig
ging. Crossing'the Atlantic was the great
irremediable trouble. If he had not had
to cross the Atlantic he thought he would
have risked aluminium in Valkyrie, but
did not think it was safe. To use alu-
minium was a proposition of his own 15
years ago. He thought Herreshoif a man
of most undoubted genius.

THE BIG FIGHT. .
It Is Alleged That 18,000 Tickets Have
Already Been Disposed 0f.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 12.——Ninety-
one cars will be required to transport the
lumber frbm Dallas to this city for the
amphitheater in which the pugilistic car-
nival will occur. The trains will begin to
arrive here on Monday.
The big building will be constructed
according to the original plans and will
seat nearly 53, 000 persons. Eighteen thou-
sand tickets have already been sold.
The headquarters of the Florida Ath-
letic club will be established here not
later than Monday. There is no change
In the time for the contest or in the arti-
cles of agreement. ‘
The principal event will occur at 10
o’clock on the morning of Oct. 81 and
minor contests on the day following.
Judge Duffie has notified Sheriff Houpt
that he had been informed and believed
that an attempt would he made to bring
the Corbett—Fitzsimmons fight off in Hot
Springs, and that he wished to call his at- .
tention to the fact that in doing so the
principals would be breaking the laws
and outraging the, dignity of the state of
Arkansas.
‘He would, in conjunction with Judge
Teague, the prosecuting attorney, inform
the sheriff at what stage it is his duty to
interfere. The judge further states to Mr.
Houpt that he had a right to call the
posse comitatus, and it would be .a vio-
lation of' the law for a citizen so called to
refuseto respond.
LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 11.-—-When shown a
dispatch from Hot Springs about the ac-
tion of Judge Duffie, in connection with
the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, Governor
Clark said that the news was not surpris-
ing to him. He expected as much of Judge
Duffie, Prosecuting Attorney Teague and
Sheriff Houpt. Governor Clark was em-
phatic in saying that since J udgc Duffie
has taken the initiative in the matter it
would be a very easy matter to stop the
fight. The chief executive of the state
could now intervene and preclude the pos-
sibility of the affair being pulled off in
the city of Hot Springs.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 11.—It was
rumored here that Brady and Julian have
learned from Austin that Corbett and.
Fitzsimmons must leave the state at once
or sufler arrest on a- charge of conspiracy.
Julian says Fitzsimmons will be outside
the state by tomorrow, but Corbett says
he won’t hurry.
DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 11.—Joseph Ven-
dig, manager of the Florida Athletic club,
returned from Austin. He said: ”You
may say the fistic contests booked to come
Oct. 31 will most certainly take place at
Hot Springs on that date. The citizens
of Hot Springs have deposited with R. C.
Chambers & Co. of that city $15,000 as a
guarantee that our contract will be car-
ried out. We are fully satisfied that the
Hot Springs company will fulfill their
contract.”
WATCHING DR. MEYER.
He Cannot Smuggle Letters Out Now to
Plan Another Murder.
SING SING, Oct. 12.——It is believed that
Dr. Henry C. F. Meyer, who is serving a
life sentence for the murder of Carl
Brandt, has given up the plot to commit
another murder.
Meyer was discovered writing letters to
his wife, planning a scheme to poison a
man upon whose life Mrs. Meyer was to .
hold an insurance policy. He promised to
send her a prescription for poison she was
to administer.
by Chaplain Weills, who read a letter
Meyer tried to smuggle out of the prison.
Nothing has been done by Superintend-
ent Lathrop, to whom the matter was re-
ferred, but a strict watch is kept upon the
doctor.
“Pennsy’s” Annual Inspection.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12.——’l‘he regular
annual inspection trip of the president
and board of directors of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company will begin on Monday,
and it will last two weeks. In this time
i the party will have travmed nearly 2,800
miles. On Oct. 14 a special train will
leave Broad Street station, and that night
the directors will lay over at Altoona. .

PITTSBURG, Oct. l2.-—James J. Brooks,
ex-chicf of the United States secret service ;
department, but of late years in charge of
a. local detective agency, died today of
heart disease at his residence, in this city,
aged 76 years. Mr. Brooks had made a
wonderful record in running down offend-
ers against the United States laws.
Mrs. Clara. Doty Bates Dying.
CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—-Mrs. Clara Doty
Bates, well known as a writer of high
class literature for juvenile readers, is ill
beyond recovery, and her death is expected
momentarily. Mrs. Bates has been iden-
tified prominently with the work of Wom-
en’s clubs, and last year was the first vice

Revenge With Croton Oil.
TOLEDO, Oct. 12-.——chry Meyer, 8. boy
17 years old, objected to his sister giving
a birthday party and mixed two ounces of
croton oil with the coffee that was served
to the guests. As a result 12 of the young
people who attended the party are in a
serious condition, and fatal results are ex.
pectcd.
New Jersey Naval Militia.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.——Lieutenant Nib-
lack, in charge of the naval militia bureau,
left Washington today for Trenton to con-
fer with the state authorities respecting

Vienna. in behalf of the Armenians.
The plot was discovered :

Rumor That the Unite. States May
Have Intervened In Cuba.
THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
While the State Department Officials Will
8 Not Commit Themselves, the Re-
port Is Not Generally Cred-
ited In the Capital.
MADRID, Oct. 11.—-It is stated on the
best of authority that the government of
' the United States has notified the Spanish
minister at Washington, Senor Dupuy de
Lome, that there is a necessity that Spain
should act promptly in her efforts to crush
the insurrection in Cuba. ,The news has
caused quite a sensation here.
The News In \Vashingzlon.‘
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-—The statement
cabled from Madrid today to the effect
that the Unite 'States government has
intimated to th Spanish minister here
that there is need of prompt action on the
part of his government in putting down
the Cuban insurrection cannot be confirm-
ed at the state department. The offl-
cials, when approached, neither would
confirm nor deny the report, though their
manner would indicate disapproval of its
, accuracy. It is believed quite probable
E that representations may have been made
‘ to Spain of the wisdom of aggressive, and
active operations against the Cuban insur-
gents, but it is thought the United States
government did not make these sugges.
tions, and that if made they came from
' Minister de Lome and were based on his
- perstmal views of the situation and on his
i observation of the trend of , sentiment in
l the United States and his lknowledge of
E the purpose of the friends of the insur-
' gents to press their cause vigorously soon
i after the assembling of congress. It is
. apparent that the Cuban junta does not
intend to urge recognition of the insur-
gents as belligerents prior to the opening
of congress, and daily events point quite
as strongly to a determination to force
the question on the attention of congress
in the belief that the legislative channel
affords the most practicable route to the
accomplishment of something in behalf of
Cuban independence, the executive branch
of the government in the very nature of
things being more constrained in its ac-
tion than the legislative , department.
Senor dc Lome left here toiday on a very
early train, and therefore no information
could be gained from him concerning the
Madrid dispatch, but the effect of appar-
ent Spanish ascendancy in the struggle
on congressional consideration of the Cu-
ban question is so obvious that Minister
de Lome, it is quite likely, may have
made official or unofficial representations
thereon.
Usage In Such Cases.
It is learned that Senor do Lome, the
Spanish minister, had a short interview
with Secretary Oiney yesterday, and in
the course of their conversation something
might havebeen said by the minister per-
haps in answer to the secretary’s inquiry
in the nature of a statement that opera-
tions in Cuba would be conducted with
greater vigor hereafter. As the president
‘ must certainly make some reference to
§ the insurrection in his annual message to
congress when it meets, in December, it
would be but natural that ' Secretary Ol-
ney, upon whom he must rely for his in-
formation, should take steps to gather
data upon which to base a judgment of
probable future events. It may be set
down as beyond belief that Secretary 01-
ney has made any statement to the Span-
ish minister in the nature of a threat to
3 intervene between the combatants in
Cuba at this stage, for this would amount
, to a reversal of the policy Of this govern-
E ment in sudh matters. While it is true
7 that President Grant did, as indicated in
: his messages to congress, entertain a belief
' that intervention in the then progressing
rebellion in Cuba would be justifiable, it
is also true that this view never was ac-
ceptable to Secretary Fish, and it has not
secured the adherence of international
lawyers. The whole weight of authority is
decidedly adverse to the assertion by a
neutral nation of a right to say when war
between two combatant-s has progressed
to a point where it must be stopped.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—Swordsman N. P.
Hartmann of Brooklyn, who won the

sWord drilling from Lieutenant Ed R.
Jones of the Royal Horse Guards, Lon-
don, on Sept. 22, 1890, in London, will
