s,an Francisco - Police Unifarm
Adopted-Prtze Eight.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-The
Police Commissioner met last eve
ming and adopted the New York
uniform for the force. They re.
commended that the force be i'm
mediately increased to four hun
dred men, in accordance with the
new law.
The usual decorum of Prof. Per-
riers gymnasium, in the Lower
Hall of the Young Mems Christian
Association building, Suffer street,
between Kearney and Dupont, was
varied last evening by prize fight,
between Patsey Hogan, of local
fame, and Harry Maynard, from
Australia. some bad blood be-
tween the parties resulted in ar
ranging the fight for a prize, the
amount of which is not ascertain
ed. About three hundred specta-
tors, including many of the most
prominent men of the city-mer-
chants, brokers, capitalists, etc.
and large delegation of the sport
ing fraternity, graced the hall with
their presence. The ring was
pitched and the contestants APP.
peared in the regulation costume
of buff to the waist, with the GUS
tomary accomplishments of bottle
holders, etc. The fight was an os.
tensi5ie glove battle, but the
gloves were so thinly padded as to
offer no obstruction to
genuine bruising. Hogan was
the bigger man of the two,
but Maynard was in superior con-
ditiOn and showed himself the bet
ter man. Six rounds were fought,
Maynard winning first blood and
first knock-down. He was getting
decidedly the best of the fight
when an interruption of the police
put stop to the fun. A wild
stampede ensued OIL the part of the
audience, some of them going
through windows, heels over head,
in their anxiety to escape arrest
and exposure. No arrests were
made, as the gloves worn by the
pugilists enabled them to escape on
II technicality, but the fight was
broken up and the audience dis
persed. 1t is understood that one
of Hogan's hackers, finding that
his man was being whipped, gave
Information to the police.

five minutes past one O'Clock this
morning officers Watson and Wal
lace heard a pistol shot in Sansome
street, between Bush and Suffer,
and hurrying to the spot found an
old man lying upon the sidewalk

Tho DIaz Governments Doubtless
Recognized.
WASHINGTON, April 13th.-The
Department of State has not yet
received intelligence of the recog-
milton of the Diaz Government.
There is no doubt, however, of the
fact as the instructions to Foster on
returning to Mexico, authorized
him to do so so should he find q
proper condition of affairs
to warrant. The reasons
for recognition are that
it has shown a disposition to ar.
range all matters in dispute between
the two Governments, and has
