(R ',r Title's policy In rowing mutters the coming
w$W 'r Tr'" undoubtedly proTtde some rare aquatlo
iMtwf'' sport. Unless all slens fall, the question ot
JHM' , suprcmacT among the leading lntorcotleglat
HBk. lgbt-oarcd crows will be decided In one, or poa-
VB lbly two. races, to bo rowed on a course to bo
' , f selected later. In a word, Yalo Is now willing
Pi to row both Ilnrvard and Cornell either sen-
aratcly or together. This will be In the nature
' ot a big surprise to the collego world, as the
Impression has gained strength that as Yale
,w, and Harvard hare already signed ft five years'
,W ' agreement to Indulge In all branches ot sport,
jV' ' Cornell would bo shut out ot a boat race next
jtt'i Jane. Hut Yalo will not be contented nnless
0M ' the victorious Ithaoant can measure blades
,;,j with the Blue.
tB: According to an Indisputable authority, Tnn
VWi' Bum In In a position to stato this morning that
m' the Yalo Navy, which controls boating affairs at
lifer New Haven, will soon issuo an open challenge
lT8j?;; ' to Cornell to row a four-mile straightaway race
ftwi"' next Juno. The challenge will bo accompanied
'jkp. . by an explanation that Yale will row Cornell
' I alono or will gladly admit the Ithacans to a
'!V three-cornered race, with Harvard as the third
nPi crow. In other words, Yal Is willing to row
A tno ruces " necessary, to meet Cornell. The
Mf;, ' only stipulation that tho Yale Navy Is likely to
amf.L niako Is that the race or races do not take plaoe
H '': at 8ar'u' Iko- Yale Is not exactly In tavor
m i, of Pouglikeepslo, and Is particularly desirous of
H rowing at New London.
I On tho proposition to row at New London
Kl; the whole situation dopends. Yale and Harvard
Hi have already agreed to row at that place by the
,'' terms ot their flvo years' agreement, but both
'fe are anxious to have Cornell in with thorn. Har-
uS, vard, however, feels that the Thames course Is
' cot wldo enough for three crews, and It willing
; 11a ) row three-cornered raoe elsewhere. Cor-
i 7 ce" has been against New London for a similar
', reason, and would probably decline the lnvlta
mrx?' Uon to enter a triangular raoe If it was stlpu-
JBrXt , lated that it should be rowed there. Yalo,
Wjav- always in favor ot the Thames, and
-jWsf, quite confident that the course Is plenty
'jfW I wldo enough for three orews, has been anxious
m tf1 t0T some tini PMtt0 induce Cornell and Har-
Kr ,' vard to como to that way of thinking. But as
WX f.f the relations between Yale and Cornell have
8.7 1 been badly strained In the past, no informal
I communication hat taken placo between them.
1 Both have been flgbtlng shy. Yale has also
J been rather reluctant to ask Harvard to carry
JM S on negotiations, because of the position hitherto
Xtf bald by the wearers of the blue. Yet a desire to
K be sportsmanlike and settle the aquatlo cham-
mkf . plonsblp pervades Yale men, and they are about
Ki to act with commendable broad-mindedness.
f- Ever since the Cornell 'Varsity won that
H f. msgnlfloent victory over Yale and Harvard last
Fv June at Poughkeepale the Ithacans have been
- regarded everywhere as the Intercollegiate
"B & champions. Before the race-was-rowed Yale's
gf" coach and rowing advisers distinctly stated
U'W that, win or lose, the Blue crew would never
mpi A row Cornell again. As Yale had been practl-
Bh ' cally forced Into that race by Harvard and had
U ', accepted tho terms with tho agreement that the
B If New Haven men would receive the privilege
H , of naming tho course next year, many per-
vH sons believed when tho race was over that
Wffi Cornell, with her undisputed championship,
Ijj'jj. - would receive the cold sboulder. Indeed, It was
ill'- reported Immediately after the Yale crew re-
'Ms, turned to New Haven that la the future the
' crew would engage In dual races with Harvard
'sWf ' only, but, to the credit of Yale men, this ru-
"B( , mor was promptly dented. Btlll, the New Ha-
iflf ven boating authorities would not say that
' another raco would be rowed with Cornell, so
H,' , that people began to believe that the Ithacans
u jH, .'f would be quietly dropped and a Harvard-Yale
iiB tJJr raC8 would be arranged without delay,
SM'vOT The fact that Cornell Is the acknowledged
aaW iSy aquatlcchamplon.however, has been appreciated
"PP-J I at New Haven, and the authorities there have
ySl come to the belief that the only way to regain
-?lf 't prestige in shell rowing Is to meet tho
(ff1 YtH Ithacans In a square, fair encounter on the
' B fi water. Cornell's sportsmanlike action in not
'Hr l crowing over Yalo and Harvard, which the
iiB, yj Ithacans would have been perhaps justified in
j doing in view of past circumstances, has made
M7J many friends for Courtney's oarsmen, especially
fjg at Yalo. When it is remembered that Yale all
'Wy along refused to meet Cornell and at the
jjm.r tamo time practically laid claim to first
jR' honors In the college boating world after each
5 H victory over Harvard, the action of the Ithacans
Hi, 'n saying nothing but simply sawing wood is a
!,'' remarkable exhibition of self-control. But the
i My Cornell men have felt that as their crew Is reo-
"!:''" ognlzedas the champion eight because ot its
, decisive victory over Yale and Harvard at
.'fa," Poughkoepslo, It would be decidedly out of
' li",' order for them to demand another race with the
'. Blue and Crimson. They also have declared
V that it Yale and Harvard decided to flock by
' if, d themselves, their crew would row the usual race
k.9 'II Mlth Ponn"J'1,rnn,rt anl1 Columbia, or It might be
iWJ ,e,,t t0 IIen,By ""Bin. Never for a moment,
'tMfjf though, has tho Cornell Navy mado any ro-
' W quests for a renewal ot the relations that
VK&I brought almut one ot tho greatest boat races
Srm? ever rowocl ln 'his country.
"A'wf. Yule'a decision to challenge Cornell, which
SwAn1 wa" made only a few day's ago. Is, thorefore, a
(', move that tho Ithacans have been most anxious
f ',' to have the Blue muke. It Is, alBO, the only
'f I ', proper way to bring about another race, and the
" - Y'ale Navy will receive widespread commends-
iHr tlon for assuming such a fair policy. If Cornell
'?H" does not want to go Into a three-cornered raoe
m W t New London with Harvard and Yale, It Is the
II &ff privilege of tho Ithacans to row Yale alone,
IHfTy' which la an opportunity long wlshod for by tho
Mgjf hardy Now Yorkers. If Cornell accepts tho
j4KT offer to indulge ln a dual race with the
. '.'! " Blue, there will bo no tost between Court-
emi "' C"w ond Harvard unless they agroe
"H to row a separate raco. In advocating a Yale-
$M Cornell race, representatives of the Blue say
'A thattf Yale Is willing to row Harvard In another
'H jr contest, the Crimson should be willing to row
M ffj Cornell separately, or, Id other words, that three
H duBl rs tould be rowed Yale vs. Cornell,
f Cornell vs. Harvard, Yale vs. Harvard-and
-.Vf that slmtlnr freshman events could also bear-
' Sf) ranged. Yale boating men offer this argument,
Mi keeping In mind that the races will be rowed at
im New Loudon, and also figuring that It U not too
'. much of u strain for the big 'varsity crows to
!'Vj row tno races apiece wltbln an interval of two
! weeks. They point to the fact that Cornoll
MW rowed two line races last summer Inside of ton
J days and showed no ill effocts, and they natur
al ally say thiit Yale and Harvard can do the same
P without any great strain or Inconvenience.
' jB The delay In sending the ohallenge to Cornell
Bt Is due to private dickering between Yale and
Bf y the Now London people. If the latter want to
iB have the races rowed on the Thames, they must
'B accede to certain demands In the shape ot pro
Bf Vldlng quarters for tho crews and boatbouscs.
Be Othorwho it la barely potsible that a three
fmW, cornered ra.o will bo rowod at 1'oughkeepsle,
iBS which is acknowledged to possess the finest
Kf four-mile courao In America. Cornell's rate
ft with Pennsylvania and Columbia will probably
'TIB b d(" away with In the ovent of Yale's chal
(B : being accepted. That Cornell will Jump
lBk the chance to row Yale It accepted every
janaBaaaaMarrTmiiM. i I -h'-.t' -.. i 'Wi..j
whero as a certainty, and though nothing defi
nite has been arranged, It It more than probable
that the races will bo rowed at New London.
In speaking ot the Situation a prominent Yale
boating authority said to The Son man yester
day! "Yet, it It true that we Intend to challenge
Cornell. Yale wants to meet the best crew In
America, and Courtney's eight Is Justly entitled
to be regarded at such. Yale is ready to row
any kind ot a race, elthor a separate contest with
the Ithacans, or a triangular event such aa took
place at Poughkecpilo last year. We do not
want to go to Poughkeeoslo. though, and are
unalterably opposid to Saratoga Lako. It ar
rangements can be n ado with the Now
London Board of Trade, the race or races
will be rowed on the Thames. In our
estimation, and we have Investigated tho mat
ter, we aro satisfied that there is plenty ot room
on tho Thames for throo crows to row. but Har
vard does not look at It In that way. In ordor
that our raco with the Crimson will not bo In
terfered with, therefore, Yale is willing to row
Cornell separately; or, In short, Yale will row
two big races within the spaco of two weeks. It
is simply a question ot rowing the champion
Cornell crew, and Yale will do anything to bring
that about,"
Yalo's chango of front Is due to a wave ot re
form that has swept over the undergraduate
element and the up-to-date graduates who want
to seo athletics run on a sportsmanlike basis.
The willingness of Yale, therefore, to foster col
lego rowing by challenging the champion crew
will moet with the approval of tho college world
and the public The Now Haven crew will be
coached by Bob Cook again, and ho
will bo asslstod by Kennedy, the well
known professional. The boat will bo
American rigged and the English methods
of coaching the men whloh wore ln vogue last
year will be done awar vltb. The Cornell crow
will, as ln former vearj, be coached by Charlet
Courtney, and tho Harvtrd crow will bo pre
pared by It. C. Lebmann, tho English coach,
who had charge of the Crimson eight last season.
The candidates for the various eights have al
ready reported for preliminary training, and
the final arrangements for the races will bo
awaited with eagerness.

Tho five mombers of the crew ot tho alleged

released last Thursday after nineteen months'
confinement In Spanish prleont ln Cubs, arrived
ln this city yesterday on tho Ward Hue Bteamer
Saratoga. Brokon In health by their long con
flnomont and the treatment accorded them by
their Jailers, and clad only ln the rags which
they have worn stneo they were captured over
a year and a half ago, they mado ft pitiable
spectaclo as thoy walked down tho gangplank
ot tho steamer and fell Into the arms of their
friends, who had been waiting on tho dock for
hours. Tho Ave are! CapL Alfredo Labordoot

Compotltor and a clttten of the United States)
William Gltdea, an Englishman by birth, but a
naturalized citizen and mate ot -tbe Competitor!
Owna Melton, a Kansas newtpaper man who
tailed on the Competitor; William Leavltt, cook
ot the Compotltor andanatlvoof thlt city, and
Charles Barnott, steward of the Competitor and
a British subject, Tho other two members ot
the Competitor's crew who were captured war
Dr. E. hedoa and Telcado Mosso. Mnssa wat
tried and acquitted on the charge of filibuster
ing, but wat kept in prison as a witness against
Dr. Bedea, The latter It still In Cabana Fortress,
but Vice-Consul Joseph A. Springer, who ar
rived en the Saratoga, sayt that he will un
doubtedly be released toon.
Of the five men who returned yesterday, young
Melton wot ln far the wont condition, ilo went
away on the Competitor a robust man, healthy,
ttrong, and wolghlng 105 pounds. He roturnod,
yesterday pale, emaciated, and hollow-eyed. He
weighed Just 100 pounds when ho landed, and
was so weak that he could scarcely talk abovo a
wblspor. Ills hands trembled violently, and he
looked to be nothing but skin and bones. In
this condition he was sent away from Cuba,
with no clothing but a white flannel shirt, the
trousers which he wore when he was captured,
a thin Jacket, and ahoet and socks. Uls teeth
wero chattering with the cold as he stood on tho
deck of the Saratoga when sho hauled Into her
dock. Ono of tbe first men aboard tho steamer
wat a Cuban, who quloklr atrlppod himself ot
hit overcoat and covered the shivering man
with It.
William Leavltt, the cook of the Competitor,
wat ln almost as bad condition. The others say
that his sufferings have affected his mind. He
it a physical wreck and had no more clothing
than Melton. Capt. Labordo was ln fairly good
shape, although ho has aged vory much since bo
went away. He Is SO years old, but looked S3
as ha walked down tbe gangplank yesterday.
His hair and beard were dark brown when ha
went away. They are now streaked with gray.
Capt. Labordo walked with the aid ot a crutch.
His left leg Is useless, rendered so by two strokes
ot paralysis which he had while ln prison. In
the matter ot clothing he was better off than
the rest, hit (brother, Eduardo Laborde, having
tent him a complete outfit a week before he was
releated.
Owna Melton, the young newspaper man,
went to Cuba on the Competitor ln order to get
Inside the Insurgent lines. lie had cr '.ractod
"to write a series of artloles about the Insurgent
campaign for a Florida newtpaper. Hit protes
tations of neutrality when captured availed
him nothing, and If anything be wat treated
worse than the other prisoners. The resolution
demanding hit Immediate release passed the
Senate at tho last session. Melton gave a Sun
reporter yesterday the following account of his
experiences:
"I was captured In one of tho small boats,
which were lot down when we saw that the
Spanish gunboat had us. I was with two others,
and we almost got away, but tome soldiers
headed ua off ln a rowboat and we were taken
aboard the Spaniard. At the first prison we
wero taken to we were turned over to tbe sol
diers, whose treatment of us was brutal beyond
description. We were bound with ropes, tbe
system being to loop one end of the rope, place
our armt through the loop and then, by tighten
ing the noose, draw our elbows together behind
us. The wrench was terrible and made et en tba
stoutest cry out with pain. Some who couldn't
keep tbelr feet while tho soldiers hauled on the
ropes, were kept up by tbe soldiers planting their
knees ln tbe small of tbelr backs. With each
tightening ot the rope they would yell atusi
'How do you like that, you damned Yankees!
or 'I guest you Yankees '11 stay home next
time.
"When the soldiers were through playing
with us our wrists were tied tightly together
and we were thrown Into a prison and kept
there in solitary conQuomont for six days. Our
cells were dnrk. and Just once a day was any
thing ln the shape of food passed ln to us. Don t
ask me to talk of those six days. It's like an
awful dream now. I must not bring up that
awful picture again. I cannot stand It. We
could not see tbe Amerlcnn Consul, Mr. Wil
liams, and for a time we thought we had been
forgotten; but we afterward learned that Mr.
Williams bad made repeated efforts to see us,
but had not been allowe I to.
"After six days, we wore taken out of the
dark colls, and three of us were placed ln a cell
0 feet by 12 feet, where we were left for three
weeks, without being allowed to walk out once.
Wo had no exorcise at all and our sufferings
were grent, of course Our Jailors wore a set of
brutes, The treatment accorded us was bad,
although it Improved somewhat after the Con
sul had made repeated protests. We got the
'pottase' they called food, twice a day than, and
our chief suffering was the lack ot exerolie and
frcs air.
" The first any of ut knew about the court
martial which sentenced ut to death wat when
an offlcor came to us ln prison and handed us a
list of Bpanlsb Captains and Lieutenants. 'You
aro all going to be put on trial for your
Uvea ho said, ' From this list you can select
an ofllcer to defend you.' He threw the paper
at ua and went away. None of the names was
familiar to us, and when we askod permission
to consult the American Consul It was refUBOil.
We were Informed that some one of the Spanish
officers ln tue list could defend us, but no one
else, lu desperation we agreed on the first
name on tbe list, that of a Captain. The next
day he dime to set us. He stayed Just one
minute. We told him we were not guilty, and,
laughing, be left us.
" Ye wero convicted without a hearing. We
were not allowed to say a word for ourselves,
and our counsel never said a word for us until
we had been pronounced guilty. Then be arose,
and in a peculiar way asked for mercy. We
were never Informed of the charges against us,
nor did we have an opportunity to defend our
selves. We were simply haled before a court.
martial which had decided our fate beforehand,
"After our sontence wa were again put In
dark cells, and not allowed to see anybody. Our
feelings then are beyond description. We bad
no reason to believe that we were not to bo shot
down like dogs, and I never expeoted to find my
foot on American soil again. We didn't know
then of tbe efforts in our behalf, which result
ed in our transfer to Cabana fortress and an
order from tbo Queen Regent, postponing our
execution. We were In the Havana prison for
eighteen months. I was in a cell, 20 foat by 10
feet, with forty other prisoners, political and
criminal, and wo were never allowed out once to
take exercise. Tbere was only one little window
In the cell, and in that foul air it Is a wonder
that we all didn't die. .
" The end came last Thursday, when a file or
soldiers oame Into the prison and we were sum
moned, We didn't know what it meant and no
one explained It to us. Some of us thought that
it was all over with us, others that we were to
be transferred to some other prlaou; but none of
us guessed tho happy truth. We were marched
out Into tbe corridor ot Ihe prison, where wo
found (ion. Lee and the British Consul. The
officer In command turned us over to Gen, Ixie,
who had boon warned to get us uff tbe Island at
onco. Ho did it. We were taken right to the
Bliore and sent out to I he Baratoga in small boats.
Wo sailed that same dav."
Capt. Laborde'a story Is practically tba same
as that told by Melton. In tbe prisons, howover,
be was far better treated than the otber prison
ers, and he speaks well of tbe jailers with whom
he oame In lontact. He was separated from the
ot er prisoners all tho time and consequently
knows nothing of bow they wero treated.
"The soldiers to whom wo were first turned
over," said be. "were fiends ln human form.
They wound cord around mv wrists, put a stick
through the cross In tbe cord, and twisted Ihe
stick until tbe blood spurted. Meanwhile they
cursed me roundly, tor weeks the bones pro
truded through the flesh as a result, of Ibis
cruelty. You can aeethn marks of the ord yet,''
and Capt. Laborde rolled up hit sltevea and
showed the reporter the deop scars on his wrists.
Capt. Labordo said that ho Would demand dam
ages from 8paln for hit lurferlngs.
vice-Consul Springer said tbat he had Coma
home for a slx-noekt' vacation, but declined to
talk about Cuban affairs.
Among the other passengers on the Saratoga
was Julio Artlaga, who wot captured by the
Spanish in Plntr del ltio six months ago. He
was sentenced to be shot, but was pardoned on
Nov. 4 by Oen, Blanco. Artlnga was accompa
nied by tils mother, Mrs. Emilia Arllsga of Ui 0
West 177th ttreot. this city. The young man
was a student In the College ot tho City of New
York, and went to Cuba a year ago last January.
Ha was attached to the medical corps nnd wat
captured while searching for herbs for the mak
ing of medicine. Ho says that ho wns beaten for
half an hour with tho broad side or a sword In
the effort to make htm tell whore the Cubans
had hidden thnlr supply of dynamite, but tbat ho
didn't reveal the secret . .
Young Artlaga says that he wat pardoned as
the result of the efforts of two Spanish Generals,
one named Arolas, about whom be had dam
aging Information. He said tbo Generals were
ln collusion with tbelnsurgont leaders, and tbat
the agreement was that if the Insurgents would
not attatk the Bnanish they ware to be allowed
to crass the trocha nt will nt the points guarded
by tho Goneralt. In this way, he says. Gomez,
Garcia, and Mnceo, when ho was alive, were
able to come together at any time and keep
track of each other's movements.

MADntD, Nov. 23.-8tflor Moret, Mlnltter of
the Ooleniet, to-day reottved a Oatalonlan dep
utation, which visited him for tho purpose ot
urging protection to Bpanlsb Imports Into Cuba
and to oppose the plan of giving the Cuban
Chamber the right to fix the Cuban tariff. Tho
principal protesting bodlea are tho Shipowners'
Association, the Oatalonlan Agricultural Insti
tute, and the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce.
Replying to the arguments advanced by the
deputation, Bettor Moret said that the Ministry
had considered the general interests ot tho colo
nies, and believed that a peaceful settlement ot
the colonial questions depended upon tho adop
tion ot the Government's scheme. The Interest
of the colonies possibly might not harmonize
with tome of the manufacturing Interests ot
Spain, but they certainly did with the Interest!
of the nation. Rather than to abandon any part
ot the Governments propotalt he would resign
hit office.
Bailor Moret referred to the demonstrations
that ate being prepared at Barcelona ln honor
ot Gen. Weyler, and declared that these demon
strations could not be allowed to prejudice
colonial interests.
After the Interview the Cabinet met to dis
cuss the position, at tho hostility to the Govern
mtnt't propotalt It strong and influential,
though cot unanimous. Thus the Huelva
Chamber ot Commerce has sent a message to
tbt Government congratulating It upon tbe
moasurts It hot taken to bring about the pacifi
cation of Cuba. It 1b believed, too, that tbe
Cabinet U divided upon the Cuban tariff
question.
Moanwhlle the Oatalonlan delegates have tel
egraphed to their friends advising thorn to ab
stain from taking any part In the Weyler dem
onstration! at Barcelona. The preparations tor
thett demonstrations ara on an elaborate tcale.
The city it much excited over tho expected ar
rival of Weyler, who, prior to bit appointment
in Cuba, waa Captain-General of Barcelona.
Steamen have been chartered to convey aepu
tatlont to the Montserrat, on which Weyler
travelled from Havana, and bands and ohoral
societies will go off to the steamer on other
boats. A banquet In honor of Weyler will be
given on tho evening of hit arrival.
The Carlttts'a Young Men's Association has
Issued a manifesto demanding that an ovation
bt given to Weyler, at he had interpreted the
sentiments of the country during hit governor
ship AfCuba, Several Republican munidoal
officers and aomo Conservatives wiU tako part
ln the recaption, at which the Industrial and
commercial element will be strongly repre
sented. Prime Minister Sagasta, who will receive the
deputation to-morrow, setmt confident of hit
ability to find some conciliatory compromise of
the clashing Interests, but the situation is
critical and requires nerve and decision. The
protectionists ara loath to relinquish the Span
ish monopoly of the colonial markets, and they
are backed by all the politicians who oppose the
Government and by most of tht newspapers ot
the country, which bate tbelr hostility to the
Government'i plan on patrlotlo and political
grounds.
Catalonia, especially that part of it consti
tuting the province ot Barcelona, it the ant
mating centre of the movement, whloh hat
broken out most inopportunely, aa the Govern
ment hat Just framed the royal decreet em
bodying all the colonial reformt.
