Capture of Long Island More Import ant Than Destruction of Fleet. Portland Me. , Aug. 28. The day's developmoits In the war game were considered the most importu.it since the hostile fleet first appeared off Poit- land. The navy made a grand coup In the capture of Long island In the forenoon , while the army made a spec tacular play in the destruction of all of the seventeen of the opposing ships that attacked the coast deiensos In the afternoon. The navy , however , seems to have a little the hotter of It , for strange as it may seem the capture of Long island was considered raoro important than the destruction of the seventeen vessels. Long island has been declared out of the game until tonight at 9 o'clock. The big search lights will not be working , which will bo of great value to the navy. On the other hand , after sunset the destroyed ships went back into commission again. A fleet of sixteen warships was re ported early this morning off Iliggins' beach , at the extreme end of Capo Elizabeth , with lights out. A landing party from Old Orchard was reported marching toward the harbor defenses. The patrols were doubled. Reduction Plant Goes Into Trust. Colorado Springs , Colo. , Aug. 28.

LOOKS BAD FOR KING PETER , Elections Being He d In Servla Today Will Favor Radicals and He May Yet Go. Vienna , Aug. 28. Special to The News : A dispatch from Belgrade says that the elections In Sorvla today will undoubtedly result In an over whelming victory for the radicals , and the conflict between them and the army will then become acute , ren dering King Peter's position all the more unenviable.

KANSAS CITY IS ALARMED. | i Rivers Rise to Unusual Heights and Results May Prove Grave. Kansas City , Aug. 28. Uuproocdcnt- edly heavy ilns north and west of Kansas City have caused the Kansas and Missouri rivers to rise suddenly to unusual heights and the results may prove grave. A bulletin Issued by the local weather bureau an nounced that the Kaw river would rise from live to seven feet at Kan sas City in the next forty-eight hours and a rise of equal magnitude , it Is stated , is coming this way down the Missouri. The fact that the Missouri will rlso ulfo Is causing anxiety hero , ns it is believed It will retard the flow of the Kansas river at the mouth of the latter stream , and endanger the temporary bridges as well as the rail way yards and heavy business Inter ests In the west bottoms. If the bridges go out it would cripple the traffic of the big packing houses and cut , T communication except by boat between the two Kansas Cities. The Kansas river here rose three feet In ten hours and Is still rising rapidly. At Lawrence this stream rose four feet during the night , p id nt Topeka it is also up about four feet. At Manhattan , where the Big Blue empties Into the Kansas , the latter stream has risen seven feet In the past twenty-four hours. At that point the Blue has broken from its banks and is cutting across the country , tak ing a short course to the Kansas river. Many farms are deep under water. At Stockdale , eight miles north of Man hattan , the Blue Is slightly higher than during the great Juno flood. Farmers continue to move their stock and household effects to higher places. Several small washouts are reported on the Union Pacific east of Manhat tan. A severt-foot rise in the rivers at Kansas City may be the climax of the presently \ \ \ \ wtor , but the conditions favor more rain in this section. Tornado ct Beaver City.

Under the cir cumstances the state department ofil- clals are Inclined ( o believe that the Turkish foreign office Is not In touch with the situation at Boyroot. Admiral Coi'.on's instructions are to sail at once. It Is probable ho will go alu-nd to Beyroot with the Brook lyn , leaving the ! achias and the San Francisco to follow. It Is estimated that the Brooklyn , going at full speed , can rrueli Beyroot within six days. Turks Kill American Concul. Washington , Aug. 28.

LIGHT WINDS PREVENT FINISH , Reliance Is Fully Two Miles Ahead of Shamrock When the Gun Is Fired. New York , Aug. 28. With the Roll- unco less than u third of a mile fiom the llnlHh ami the Sliiimiock 111 hull down on the hod/on , hilly two miles astern of the gallant defender , the fourth race of the pioHont scrl ( n for the America's cup WHS declared off because of the expiration of the tlmo limit of five and oiio-half hours , as happened on Thursday liiHt. Although officially it was no race , the defeat administered lo the challenger WHS HO Igiiomlnoufl that whatever lingering hope icmaliicd In the hirantit of the friends of Sir Thomas's boat van ished. The Knllnnri'H victory was In every way more derisive ll.an that of hint Saturday. The Shamrock was outsailed , outpointed and out footed from start to finish. The Hellance heat Iho Shamrock hopelessly In Ilio Illtoou miles of wind ward work , rounding the outer mark twelve mlmitoH and thirty seconds ahead of her , a gain In actual time of eleven minutes , tweiity-nlne seconds ends , and down the wind she steadily Increased her load. The real Interest of the day was not against the Shamrock , hut was In the exciting struggle of the Reliance In the last half hour to reach the finish line before the rogntta commltteo fired the gun which should announce the expiration of the time limit. Hud the Hellance finished fifteen mlnutoa earlier than It did It would hnvo boon three straight wins for the defender , and ( lie Shamrock would have gone buck to Knglund ono of the moat disas trously defeated challengers In the history of the cup contests. Fully as discouraging as tho. sailing qualities displayed by the challenger was the manner In which she wna handled. The Yankee skipper tiot only out-maneuvered his rival In the spectacular battle for his position nt the start , which ho bus done every tlmo they have met , hut worse still for the down-hearted Hiippoiters of the Shamrock , Captain Wrlnge ro- , pptttc-d his blunder of Tuesday. Ho crossed the line In the wake of the Reliance with a handicap of sixty-ono of the precious seconds , for which De signer Fife has sacrificed so much sail spread for time allowance. Both boats. It Is true , went over In the smoke of the handicap gun , but where both are handicapped , it is only the sternmost craft which actually suffered. The course was laid fifteen miles dead Into the wind and return. At the end of the first hour the Shamrock was beaten and the interest waned. After rounding the llout for the run home and Betting big balloonors , the wind , which had strengthened to six or t.oven knots , died down and the towering clouds of canvas drifted lazily down nn ocean lane n mllo.wide , between two divisions of the excur sion tleet. ICven In light nlr It was astonishing how the defender slipped through the placid seas. The gap be tween her and the challenger steadily widened , until two miles separated them. Half an hour from home , when the spectators hud abandoned any Idea that the finish line could bo reached in tlmo , the wind suddenly freshened and the Reliance cnmo bowling down nt n merry clip. But the wind had come too.late , and when still a few hundred yards fiom borne , the gun on the tug Navigator boomed across the water. The excursion boats held on until she crossed the line to give her a rousing welcome and then scamp ered for Now York. Sir Thomas , who heretofore , has always followed his champion Into the Hook , sent bis steam yacht Krln ahead at full speed , ns if to drown out the memory of the Inglorious licking ho got. The next race , which will bo Ilka the ono at tempted yesterday , fifteen miles to lee ward , or windward , and return , will bo sailed on Saturday. Oct. 18 Is Nebraska Day. St. Louis , Aug. 28.
