Tho sharpshooter was shot, and a few minutes later the body of marines reached the crest, and victory was with the boys in blue. Another impressive story is how a young navy lieutenant, three years out of Annapolis, with a crew of eight men in a steamers launch, cruised 75 miles up the river Estero Real, botin dary line between Guatemala and Sal-! . both unfriendtly to Americans and in defiance of threats that his party would be exterminated, pushed "through the troubled waters for a month after filibustering expeditions and captured the filibuster sloop El Aaruillo and a barge loaded with arms and ammunition for the rebels.

MASKED BANDITS MAKE BIG HAUL They Hold Up Saloon and Secure $2,500 in Money and Jewelry [Special Dispatch lo The Call] YREKA, Nov. 17.—Fifteen customers and the proprietor of Victor E. War ren's saloon were held up in Hilt at 10:30 o'clock last night by two masked bandits, who got $2,500 In money and jewelry for their trouble. Hilt is a lumber town near the line. Warren at first refused to obey the command to throw up his hands and fired four times at one of the bandits, who returned the fire three times. War ren finally yielded as did the 15 others. While one bandit kept the crowd at bay the other bandit made Warren open the safe. All the coin it contained was taken and the pockets of every customer were stripped of valuables and money. The railroad agent, who had dropped into the saloon on his way home for the night, was relieved of the day's receipts of $60. A diamond valued at $1,500 was ripped from Warren's bosom. The stone had been the wonder of this part of the state for years. The holdup, which proceeded with great deliberation, lasted 20 minutes and everybody was tired out keeping his hands above his head. The rob bery over the bandits disappeared through the front door and into the darkness. They got over $1,000 in money and the diamond, leaving no trace behind. The marvel is that neither the bandit nor Warren was hit by any of the seven bullets. Bullet holes counted in the walls of the saloon show that no blank cartridges were fired. Victor Warren is best known in Kennet, where he owns a large saloon and is inter ested heavily in real estate. Passes Hunt for Bandits REDDING. Nov. 17.—Posses of horse men are scouring the mountains today for two bandits who held up Victor Warrens' saloon in Hilt, Siskiyou coun ty, late last night.

"I will bring my Shamrock IV here In 1915 for an international yacht race, if there is any one here to compete with," said Sir Thomas Lipton, premier Eng lish yachtsman, and defeated but un daunted contender three successive times in the America cup race, on his arrival in San Francisco last night. Yachting is Sir Thomas' pleasure and delight, and to further that interest in whatever way he can he has come to San Francisco to do hie part in arrang ing for an international yacht race here during the exposition. The America cup, the elusive prize for which he sought in 1899, 1901 and 1903, is still before his eyes. "When I go to New York I hope to arrange for a race for this cup In 1914," he said. "What is good enough for Un cle Sam is good enough for me, and I want to race under American condi tions." San Francisco is the spot where the world's yachtsmen should gather in 1915, believes Sir Thomas, to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal and the practical elimination of the many thousands of miles and the heavy fogs of the old passage through the Straits of Magellan. For this great race he has offered the Shamrock IV, or some other racing yacht. San Francisco to Lead "On account of its position, this city will become the greatest on the Pacific coast, and in honor 6f the opening of the canal, the greatest work ever done by man. there ought to be a fitting cele bration," he continued. "Yachting is a great sport abroad, and all nations should be glad to participate. It should help to bring a great crowd of people here during*the exposition." In the hope of arranging this a con ference of representatives of the lead ing yacht clubs of the Pacific coast will be held tomorrow and Sir Thomas will be present. This will be oniy one of the many events in which he will participate and which have been arranged in his honor for his week's stay here. Hβ has been visiting in Seattle, Vancouver and Vic toria for some time. He is stopping at the Palace. Yachting is his forte and of this he talks most naturally, taking an inter est not to be surpassed by any one. It is. he thinks, the cleanest of sports. Canal Means Revolution Sir Thomas is also known, however, as the founder of one ol the greatest business enterprises in the world, and so he estimates and talks of the future of California and the greatness of the Panama canal. "The opening of the canal will mean a great change in the west," he said. "A great deal of freight that now goes by railroad will .be transported by ship, and at much less cost. The very least that the canal will do is to bring several hundred thousand people here to settle. All the cities of this coast will undergo a great develop* Continued oa F«*e 3, Columa 5 SIR THOMAS UPTON.

The great battle between the Bulgarians and Turks is on all along the line of theTcha talja fortifications.

The enemy, who ad vanced, chiefly facing our right wing and our center, was repulsed by our infantry and artillery fire. Three Bulgarian batteries were destroyed." Stamboul Hears Cannon All through the day the sound of heavy guns, booming distantly, was heard in Constantinople. It ceased only with darkness. The firing along the entire fine evidently was preparatory to an. in fanfYy attack. The Turkish batteries replied vig orously.
