 New Orleans, Sept. 26.-Dan Greedon was knocked out In the second round tonight by Bob Fitzslmmons At s:l2 o'clock the contest was announced to be twenty-five-round bout for s5,000 and the middleweight championship Of the world between Robert Fitzsimmons of America, the present champion. and Dan Creedon of St. Louis, better known as from Australia. at 15S pounds. The Marquis of Queensbury rules were tp govern the fight and if both men were | on their feet at the end of the twenty fifth round 1t would be draw. Frank Carambat was announced as official timekeeper for the club.
 The crowd went wild with excitement on the result. Pandemonium broke loose and the referee called vainly for quiet. Creedons seconds jumped into the ring, and carried their unconscious principal to his corner. The fight lasted just four minutes and forty seconds. It was fully five minutes before Creedon regained consciousness, and he hardly realized where he was until long after the fight. After quiet was restored FitZsimmons issued challenge to Champion Corbstt for the worlds championship and $10,- 900 side before any club in the Ooun- try.
 Within ten minutes after the termlnas tion of the fight President Scholl of the club telegraphed to Corbstt, offering purse of $25.000 for a meeting between Corbett and FitZsimmons before the Olympic at any time at any weight This was in accordance with article! which Scholl had drawn up and which were signed a month ago.
 Both men were in good condition and both expressed themselves as confident of winning. Creedon stated that he had expected to go in for in-fighting, as Fitl could not stand that. The fight attract< ed representative sporting men from all over the country, and the big arena was packed to it's full capacity. The crowd was strong for Fitzsimmons, and the betting to-day was in his favor.
 The fight was regarded as one of the grandest exhibitions of the prize ring Fitzsimmons himself was the only man who felt sure of short fight. He made bet last night that he would knock Creedon out in less than three rounds.
 Creedon after the fight made manly concession of superiority to Titzsim- mons and did not seek to blame hiS' conditions or the tact! g of his adver, sary.

CHINESE xAPAL BATTLE.
Account of theC nm,, .s Given by an Eye
 Witnens.

Witness.
 London, Sept. 26-A Central News dispatch from Shanghai says an eye witness gives the following account of the naval battle of September IT.
 While eight Chinese warships were lying at the entrance to the Yslu river twelve Japanese vessels hove in sight. The Japanese ships advancd in sin gle line while the Chinese fleet assumed a V-shaped formation with the ha%- ships at the apex. In consequence of this, half the Chinese vessels wer rem dered useless.
 The Japanese, in passing, opened fire upon the Chinese. who replied to le best of their ability. After the ba tie had been in progress for short me the Chinese fleet altered its formal on The Japanese fleet kept steaming in a circle around the Chinese. Suddenly the Japanese withheld their fire, but af- ter a quarter hour had elapsed, re- sumed the attack and poured hot fire into the enemy. The Chinese Arm strong cruiser went out in line con- trary to orders. and steamed along side of one of the Japanese ships and sunk her. The Chinese cruiser was sunk shortly afterward About this time two Chinese warships, which had been on guard duty up the Yalu river, hearing the firing. joined the fleet and took part in the battle. This increased the number of Chinese ships engaged to ten. A short time afterward another Chinese ship was sunk and two others ran ashore, caught fire and were aban- doned. After six hours fighting the Japanese fleet withdrew.
 The Chinese ships followed them but were unable to overtake them.' It is presumed that the Japanese ships re- tired because they had become short of ammunition.
