The Two Contending Boats Accom panied by Hundreds of Craft, The Mg, swar-shaped, solid-silver trophy known EE ths America's onp, emblematic of the yachting supremacy of the world, war originally offered by the R>ynl Yacht squadron of England as a prise to be sailed for by yachts of all nations over the squad ron’s course around the Isle of Wight. It haa been frequently, but erroneously, called the Queen's Cup Thirty-four years ago the American yacht America crowed the ocean, and in a contest ngninst tho boat yachts of Great Britain easily won the prise. Twice English yachts have come to this country for the purpoeo of rognlnlng tho trophy, but on men occasion havo been lieaten by the American contestants. The English first tried to got the enp back in 187(1 Commodore Aehbury, of the Royal Thames Yacht club, challenging for It and bringing over bis schooner yacht Cambria. Hhe raced against twenty-four yachtsof the New York Yacht club squadron, and was badly defeated. But Mr. Ashbury had grit, and ha built him a new yacht called tha Livonia and crossed the seas next year, determined, if possible, to carry back the cup In triumph to the Castle of Cowes. But it was not to be, and the Livonia was defeated by the acliooner yachts Columbia and Sappho In a aeries of raaea. A THB rUMTAH. Since that time tha Americans have not had to defend tha cup against a "crack" English yacht. Th*Canadians ssnt down lbs Count- ass of Dufferin In I870andtbe sloop Atalanta In 1881. Both were easily defeated, the first by the schooner Madeleine and tin second by tna sloop Mischief. Now, howover, the yachtsman of America have hail a matter of quite another sort on their hands. The cutter Ganeeta, in the full flush of her English vic tories, a representative of the bust type of English yacht architecture, owned by Sir Richard Hutton, a man who represents a family that haa been foremost in sports an land amt water in England for generations, and manned by a craw of the flower of English sailors, cam* across the ocean to try and regain tbs world's yachting championship. A series of trial races among American yacht* resulted in the selection of the Puri tan, built in Button specially for this contest, as America's representative to race against tha Genetta. Owing to a light wind the two yachts were unable to finish the first of their series of three races, and It had to lie postponed.

After ruling thirty years and attaining cent marine pageant ever witnessed in New York harbor, we give a description of the most noteworthy scenes and ovente. A vivid idea of the multitude of spectators may be obtained from the following account: About this time tha North and East rlvors and tbe bay were fairly swarming with craft. Not sinoa the Statue of Liberty came up in tb* Isere hss so beautiful a sight beon wit nessed looking south from the Battery wall. Th* llttla yaclita with their big spread of canvas all set to catch the light breeze, tb* tugboats, th* big white teamen, ugly lighten, merchant vessels and craft of every conceivable description and from every country passed back and forth on tha glassy water, scarcely stirred by tb* faint wind. An observer seated on the Mattery trail could not count the boats, they were so numerous Th* police boat Patrol went by with a select party of city officials on board. Tb* tug Joseph P. Sticknay sped by with the seconds later than the Englishman, and car rying tlio same canvas, parting two faint whilo-llppod curls front her wider bilges, and to every patriot's astonishment and joy, glided just under tbe bow of the tug and across tin lino nt 1:85s.Yl Ths probable object of the Genes tn In selecting what was undoubt edly the wlndwnrd position at th* start, was to crois tlie lino before ths Puritan and hold on to ibis ad van luge. She was foiled by the smart skipper of the Yankee sloop. Hie Ucnostn immediately changed her tack. Hhe was within forty yards of th* line, and last nearly a half minute in stay. Hhe crossed tho lino nt l:8<:3?, just 37 seconds after the b'.nwin; of tbu time limit whistle. Hho Unis lost nil of hor time allowance, ami w.is handicapped six seconds In addition. Tin Puritan also went about on thesturbourd tack, skimming along 300 feet to th* windward of lisr antagonist, and apparently Increasing hor advantage, noth Islets were lira ling oast,, close Imuled, the Genosta heeling in tlio approved fashion of her typo. Tho Yaiikoo showed that she could outrun and outpoint the Briton In mild weather. Heelng themselves in danger of being worsted, the Englishmen at 1 :&8 put their yacht about on th* port tack. Her quickness In stays elicited hand-clapping from some of the veesels In the varlogntnT fleet that closely followed her. Ths Yanks* boat changed her tack tarty seconds later, much to tlio discomfiture of the Briton, whose handlers seemingly hoped to go off by them selves hunting for n favorable slant of wind. The Gsnesta turned on the starboard tack at 1:59:20, anil again, just fifty seoonds later, the Yankee made the sains mamsuvre. Hklppsr Crocker and t.io Eastern yacht*, men probably rsmombersd how tbs Priscilla won ths second trial race by a wind seeking excursion, and wers determined Hint the Genesis should not have a chance to do likewise. Tho cutter had lint by her frequent tacking. The two yacht* continued on the starboard tack. The flue piloting of tho Puritan roused enthusiasm that frequently found expression In hand- clapping and cheering aboard every excur sion bout. The Bostonian steadily widened tha windward difference between herself and the Briton. Hhe did not deviate an lota from her course, but Ihe cutter, in her elTnrls to point ns effectually as tbe Puritan did, steered unsteadily. Hho always led her antagonist in tacking. Hhe wont about on the part tack nt 3:U7, having gone nearly eight miles on the previous leg, and headed southwest by west, right through tbe van of sixty crowded steamboats and tugs end 260 sailing craft of ovory conceivable pattern. The Puritan, which wai over half a mile to win Iwanl of the cutter, followed her exam ple five seconds later. Tho sceno at this point, whoro tho canvas- toppod boats mingled with the steamers, ex ceeded anything ever witnessed at a yacht race. A stranger coming into the port might hare supposed that an earthquake had struck tbe city, and tho inhabitant* wers flee ing in all manner of floating thing. All the boat, big anil little, turned in the wake of the racers as they patsod either astern of them or across their bow. The Elisa Hancox got dangerously near the Gsnesta several times and nail to be warned away by tho Police Boat Putrol, on which were Com missioner Voorhis, inspector Byrnes and many others connected with the polios de partment. At 3:25 the wind hauled toabout southwest by south sml freshenoil considerably. The windward difference tietween til* oomliatante was then four time* wbat it was originally. At 3:65 the mass of craft were abeam and to leeward of both racer. The Englishman howled past the big sohnoners Dread naught anil Gitana and the Montauk.

An Arkansas Crowd Bum Them in Their Calls* Despatches from Washington, Ark., state i lint grant oxcitemont prevailed at Murfrees boro over tho burning of tho Polk boys by a mob in the l'ika county jail at tlie latter place on Sunday night. Tlie mob, consist ing of about seventy live mon, broke into tlio jail, and, as on a previous occasion, tried to shoot tbe Polk brothers, who aro charged witli imir.ler, lo death. Finding that the location of their cell was such that tlie two prisoners could keep out of tho range of tlie bullets, the mob hauled a lot of wood to the jail, piled it anmud the iron cell, satu rated tlie wood with coal oil and literally roasted both tlie prisoners ulivo. The Polk brothers, Sylvester and Henry, were in jail for killing a peddler named W Il hams, and three previous attempts had been mode to lyuch them, tbe most notable of which was on Wednesday, the 19tb of Au gust, when a mob from the surrounding coun try visited Murfreesboro. They first fired a few shots into tlie cell occupied by tlie brothers. They then broke two holes through tlie wall, one on tlie west and tbe other on the south side, through which six men were seen to en ter. These got on top of the cells and poured coal oil down into them end set fire to it, but they only succeeded in making it burn in one cell, all the bedding, clothing, etc., being consumed. They then began to use dynauiito, and there were three or four terrible explosions inside of tbe jiiil. Ho severe were tlie shocks that it caused tlie coiling of the jail to full with a great crash. The window glass, which was largo and heavy, all shattered to nieces except two or throe panes ou the east aide.

Upon examination, after the purty loft, however, they were found unhurt, but were somewhat jarred by the explosions, the heaviest of which occurred under the corner of tho cell in which they were confined. Aftor gaining an entrance to tbe cell in which the prisoners were confined the mob was held at bay and finally driven from tho jail by tlie younger Folk, who had been pro vided with a pistol by tho jailer.

A SPANISH MON WRECK THE OEMs MAN EMHAHBV. The Military Aalherltlea Make Maar A-rests. Tb* disput* between Germany and Spain over possession of the Caroline ialand* in tha Pacific ocean baa resulted In an attack by enraged Spaniards upon the German embas sy at Madrid. Following are detail* RR given by dispatches from the Spanish capital: A sensation was created here last evening on the receipt of important news from the Caroline Islands. The Spanish war ships touched Yap, one of the Islands, on Angort II, and prepared to occupy It in the name of Bpaln. The Spanish officers were dilatonr Is landing troops, and on August 24 a Ger man gunboat arrived. Although it was T o'clock In the evening, the German commander Instantly landed a body of marines and •*li on, and hoisted the German flag over th# island. The governor of tlie island wished lo resist tlie landing of the German marinas and tailors, but the commander of the Span ish man-of-war Sun Quentin, which was the only vesxel of that nationality In thn harbor at tlie time, refused to agree with th* governor a* to tbe adoption of such a course or to lend thn latter ataMaaat, Tlie commander of tlio Han Quentin contented tiiimclf with making an onergotio protart against the notion of tlio German commander, and, on th* latter's refusal to recede fro* the position he had taken, telegraphed to Madrid for Instructions. Tlio excitement over this newe soon bscenM intense. The successive edition* of th* Mad rid newspapers containing accounts of th* German occupation were eagerly bought by the people, and excited group* stood around tha lamp-posts and doorways of cafes heatedly discussing the situation. A largo crowd toon gathered In front of the German embaonr, attacked the building, and tore down tb* coat-of-arms and dragged it through the streets of llio Puerto del Hoi, where they burned It in front of tho offices of the minister of the interior nmid yolls of “Down with Uermany." Tlie Civil guards after ward rccovereu a portion of it. After vent ing their spleen there tlio mob proceeded to the French embassy anil clieerea frantically. I he crowd Imd by this time grown mach larger, and, fears being entertained of srious riot, troop* were ordered out to clear the atreeta Thn crowd slowly retired Ik-fore the military. Thirty-six of the lendors were arretted. Everything Is now orderly throughout the city, although the most Intoiise excitement I nc vails. The German taxation Is gunidod ly cavalry, Infantry, and artillery. Thn Gorman consul, Baron de Uutschmldt, in th* alieenre of Count Holms HoniiewakU, the German ambanador, asked Henor Canovat del Castillo, president of th* council of ministers, for permtaaion to taln- craph to his government at Berlin respecting the situation of affaire at Madrid. The re quest was granted. Benor Cunovss del Can- tlllo at th* asm* time expressing regret at th* mob’s conduct. When the German am bassador returned to the taxation to day h* waa escorted by a strong military guard. Un tbs receipt of th* nows, the minis ters were Immediately summoned to a cab inet council, and King Alfonra wa* advlead of the strained situation. Ho returned to tbe city to-day and the minister* and th* civil and military authorities met him at th* railroad station. Largs crowds of ptopta lined the rout* taken by the royal party In to tha palace, and shouted, "Long live ft* king was repeatedly greeted with cheers, and notwith standing tbe excitement th* most perfect order prevailed. A cabinet council was im mediately held, and It was decided to court- martial til* governor of Yap, and the com manders of the two Hpanlsb war ships which arrived than on August 31, for neglect of duty, the latter In not Immediately garrison ing tna island with Spanish soldiers on their arriving there, and the tanner in not hoist ing tlw Spanish flag aad proclaiming th* ■ussrslnty of Spain over tho Island. Anothar report It that tha govornmont has dismissed from th* servloe by tolograph, tho com mander* of th* two Spanish men-ot-war sta tioned at Yap. An important meeting of leading Liberal* was hold to-day at tha residence of Senor Sagaata. After discussing th* Caroline# question It waa resolved that the occupation of tha Island of Yap by a German gunboat should ba considered equivalent to a decla ration of wor; that if a crisis in the gov ernment should occur and the Liberals be called iato power they would with draw Count de Benomar, the Spanish ambas sador at Berlin, and hand Count Holms-Son- newalde, tbe German ambassador at Madrid, his passports. Tha resolutions also declared that the Liberals would offer to th* Spanish authorities at the Philippines to recover the territory In tbe Caroline islands taken pos session of by Germany, and to use force, if necessary, to regain Ik The adoption of tha above resolutions has created a great sensa tion. A late Madrid dispatch states that ths council of ministers, with the sanction of King Alfonso, has framed and dispatched to the German government an ultimatum re questing Germany to evacuate th* Carolina Islands Spain in tbe mountimo will refrain from a material occupation of the islands, and thus afford a basis for further parleying. The total number of arrests mads at Madrid In connection with th* dem onstration against Germany Is 184. Th* German consulate at Valencia received th# same treatment at the hands of the populaon as the German embassy at Madrid. Th* anti-German movement is genuine and popular among all classes. Tho police yes terday offered feeble resistance to the attack* of tho German embassy, whore ail tbe win dows were smashed. At midnight a proces sion of 40,000 rren paraded tlio streets,receiv ing cheers everywhere, especially at th* mili tary and naval clubs. Five thousand troop* turned out to preserve order. Count Benomar, the Spanish embassy at Berlin, tele graphs tliat Count vou Hatzfoldt, tb* German foreign minister, declares that tho German gunboat was forbidden to hoist ths German flag tn the presence of the Spanish flag, and hopes that the incident will not in terfere with tlie negotiations or cordiality be tween the two nations, as Germany would navo prevented any occupation of the Caro- lines if it had been possible to communloato with tlie German cruisers aftor tlio receipt of tho Spanish note claiming tin island. Ad miral Antequora has been sent to the Medi terranean to tekecommaud of the fleet, which has been increased. All tho vessels or* ready for service. Tbe Spanish government has seized and will prosocute four liberal papers, eight re publican papers and four independent jour nals for publishing articles inciting an aglta- tlonjand advocating a rupture with Germany. Local authorities nave been ordered to net vigorously and see that all agitation is re pressed and the ringleaders arrested through out the country. Two hundred and fifty were arrested in Madrid, but the maj r ity of them have since been liberated. Many thea tres and other public institutions have been closed. A Berlin dtapatoh statos that the Word- (feufs-Ae Zeilung, Prince Bismarck’s organ, says the German government is annoyed over tho anti-German demonstration at Madrid, but will not judge haetily. It adds that in- 3 uiries will probably show that the riots were ue to certain influences. This Is a hardly veiled dig at the French. The Xeitung also says that If Spain does not recompense Ger many and punish the culprits Germauy will occupy the Caroline islands forthwith Honor Cauovas. president of tbo Spanish council, has received a dispatch signed by Prince Bismarck, concluding as tallows: "If no amicable arrangement can be arrived at by direct negotiations between tlie imperial and the Spanish governments, the imperial government will in that event be willing to refer the matter of the Caroliue islands to th* arbitration of a friendly power.” "StB Alcnhnl vn.
