Believe Cap ia Safe.
Baaed on the magnificent showing it has
made in tha two races already sailed. It Is
the belief of many experts that the cup la
safe and that It will take something better
than Fife's latest creation to get it.
An assemblage of excursion vessels al
most as large as that of last Saturday
poured down through tha Narrows and out
into the broad Atlantic today to witness
the vanishing glory of tha challenger. The
early morning had held out but little hope
for a race. A smoky haae hang over the
sea and tha wind was very light from the
south, but aa the day wore on the curtain
lifted slightly, the wind blew strong and
clear out of the south and tha dancing

August sun. Off to the
and north the i
low ramparts of tha Jersey and Long Is
land shores could Just be discerned through
tha thinning curtain. The excursion fleet
like a floating city built on the floor of
the ocean, lined up. rail to rail. In a great
semicircle to witness the start. The course,
a beat due south Into the wind for ten
miles, then a broad reach or run. aa the
Case might be. off toward the banks, and
then home again to tha old red-hulled light
ship, had been set.
The spectators watched tba jockeying for
ths start with eager Interest. To the un
initiated It wag hair-raising to sea what
close company the giant slngle-etlckers
kept. It seemed mementarily aa If the
spars and hulls would clash, but they
wheeled, and circled like gull, tacking,
gybing and putting about with wonderful
ease and grace.

At last when they bounded across the
Una, close hauled, for the thresh to wind

per, by his extremely clever work, had
again outgeneraled his rival and secured
ths weather gauge. Not only waa tha
challenger's captain defeated In his effort
to secure the winward berth, but he actu
ally failed to cross In time to save a handi
cap, an almost unpardonable offense in a
cup contest.
Barr never relinquished hla advantage
after tba start, holding the challenger un

MONASTIIt, European Turkey, Aug. 3.
The once beautiful city of Kruschevo Is a
heap of ruins. The women and children
are homeless, exposed to the weather and
famine. The town is rendered uninhabit
able by the odor of corpses, which are be
ing gnawed by dogs and pigs, the Turkish
authorities refusing to allow them to be
moved under the pretext that an inqutst
will be held. The town is situated on the
summit of a hill eight hours distant and
to the northwest of Monastic It contained
r.JOO houses and 10,'jOO inhabitants, mostly
Vlachs, calling themselves Greeks. There
were only 100 poor Bulgarian houses. The
VlacJhs are prosperous merchants, who
travel abroad on business, leaving their
families in Kruschevo.
Protection Refased by Tall.
The Macedonian committee In concert
with Bulgarian bands has been, completing
arrangements during several months with
a view to occupying the town. In July
last the authorities of Kruschevo. observ
ing the threatening movement, begged the
vail of Monastir to send reinforcements, as
the garrison of thirty soldiers waa in
sufficient to cope with an insurrection.
These warnings were ignored. On
August a member of Komitijaa, by
prearrangeroent. remained hidden :n
a chu-ch and at 10 o'clock at
night they sounded an alarm by ring
ing the church Delia Simultaneously a
band of X0 insurgents, headed by Petroff.
entered the town. The band first burned
the residence of the mudir and massacred
the garrison of officers and soldiers of the
garrison town, but spared the Turkish
harems. On the following morning the
Komitijaa established a provisional gov
ernment and instituted a new police and
municipality.

town and the inhabitants were ordered to
melt down 'heir spoons to make bullets.
The Turks, informed of the capture of the
town, sent from Perlep three squadrons of

When the houses had been pillaged the
