Battle OF BRUTEs.
A Boxing Match Develops Into :
Barbarous Affair.

BarbarouS Affair.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-About 200 sports
from this city and Brooklyn journeyed
up to Danbury. Conn.,, last night, where
they witnessed a kid-glove fight to the
finish between Jack Bates, OF Ohio, and
Joe Daley. of New York. 1t was after
l O'clock this morning when the men
entered the ring. Con McAuliffe,
brother of the famous lightweight cham
piOn pugilist, was selected as referee,
and if ever man had his hands full it
was Con, as he had two wild cats to
handle, who toward the finish did
nothing but wrestle, bite, scratch. gouge
and choke. ltwas a sort of go-as.you-
please affair, and at one time it looked
as though the whole 200 were going to
take hand in the affray, as nearly the
entire assemblage were jostling each
other inside the ropes, which was full
twentyfour-foot ring. The fight lasted
eight rounds.
The eighth round was of short dura-
ton, rs all the fight had been punched
out of Daley, and his only aim seemed
to be to get out of the ring and as far
away from the fists of Bates as possible.
Finally, in his mad effort to escape, he
smashed Con McAuliffe in the face and
dove out through the ropes like All ar
row and there was nothing else left for
McAulitfe to do but give the victory to
Bates. which he did, and then all hands
started for their homes.

SANTIAGO, Chill. Oct. 2S.-The Chill

Egan's demand for an explanation of
the recent attack upon American sail
ors. The reply is couched in very
strong language, and it is understood
that it amounts to refusal to accept
responsibility for the affair. The state
department at Washington has been
notified. Minister Egan, Commander
Schley and Consul McCreery are con-

decisive action will be taken soon. The

conduct to the refugees in the lega-

the precedents quoted by Minister Egan
in which the CHILEAN government claimed
similar rights for refugees in Peru. At
the same time he does not abandon alto

Junta that those refugees in the lega-
ton must. in spite of the rights of
asylum, which are thereby conceded,
eventually be tried before the tribunals.
