Lahm, of the sixth cavalry, U. S. A., winner of the international balloon rcae, arrived in London this afternoon from Whitby where he spent the night. The lieutenant and Major Horsey, his companion during the trip, described their voyag- as having been most de lightful, the weather favoring them from the start until shortly before the finish, when an easterly wind sprang up and took their balloon, the Unit d j States, dangerously close to the cliffs near Whitby. At '.lie start, Lieutenant Lahm said a westerly wind caried the balloon over western France, and then, veering nor: hvybt ward look her across the channel across from just north of Caen to eastward of Chichester. They had a beautiful moonlight night crossing th channel and great ly enjoyed the experience. The bal loon was so low and maintained her equilibrium so well that the areonauts were enabled to see persons on the decks of the channel steamers. After crossing the channel, th- wind took the United States almost directly north, along the coast, and had the wind continued favorable it would have been no trouble in reaching Scotland. As it was an east wind sprang up and was carrying the bal loon back seaward, so the aeronauts made a leisurely descent, descending not far from the railroad station. Lieutenant Lahm gives much of the credit for the success of the United States to Major Hersey's meteorical knowlege. Lieutenant Lahm and Major Hersey leave London for Paris tonight. Paris, October 2. All the uncertain ty regarding the result of the balloon race for the James Gordon Bennett cup, started from hen' on Sunday, af ternoon, was ended at noon today when a dispatch was received by the Aero club announcing that the Hon. C. S. Rolls and his companion, Colonel Capper, in the balloon Brittania, land ed at Sandringham Upland at 5:30 last night, thus establishing that Lieuten ant Frank P. Lahm, sixth cavalry, U. S. A., the American competitor in the race, who descended near Whitby y s terday afternoon in the balloon United States is the winner. Lieutenant Lahm covered 415 miles against 370 miles covered by Von Wilier, of Italy, his nearest competitor. The beautiful rup, presented for competition by James Gordon B nnett, becomes a trophy of the Aero club of America. The first cash prize of $2,900 goes to Lieutenant Lahm and the em duranc.' medal to Mr. Rolls, who was the longest in the air. Lieutenant Lahm's friends are en thusiastic over the vic-ory. With the exception of Senor Salamanca, th Spanish aeronaut, Lahm was the youngest competitor. Santos Dumont says he considers Lieutenant' Lahm's trip to be a daring exploit and that Lahm himself is des tined to make his mark in the aero nautic world. Canton, O., October 2. Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm is a native of this city. He is the son of Frank S. Lahm, who is a representative of the Typewriter company andV)ther American machin ery companies in Paris.

President Roosevelt discussed freely today with his cahinet. and with individual callers, among whom were Senators Knox and Foraker, the present situation in Cuba and its temporary occupation by the American forces. The matter was talked over at the cabinet meeting, but no definite announcement of the result of the deliberations was given out. The president reiterated to the cabinet and to other callers with whom he talked, that the action taken by the American government was destined solely for the benefit of the people of the island with a view to the com plete restoration of order and the pro tection of all interests. He declared that he -had no such motive in view as the possfble annexation of the gov ernment of the island by the United States. What he wanted now was that the Cubans should be given an other chance at self government. Unless extraordinary conditions arise no extra session of congress will b- called to deal with the Cuban situa tion, as the president considers he has ample authority to proceed in the mat ter. It seems to be well settled that former Governor Charles E. Magoon of the Panama canal zone, who has just returned from Panama, will be ap pointed governor of the provisional government of Cuba. Governor Ma goon is anxious to go to Cuba and his selection for the place is expected to be announced soon. The president ex pects Mr. Taft to return to Washing ton in a fortnight or less.
