Fitzsimmons would be quite as heavy
man as Jim Corbett but for his legs, says
the New York World. He is in the
heavyweight division of pugilists from
his waist up, but when occasion requires
Bob gets himself down to the middle
weight limit without serious difficulty.
So it may be good thing for fighter to
have legs like those OF this remarkable
fighter.
Aside from the fact that Bob's legs are
rather thin, there appears to be de-
cded inclination on the part OF both
knees to strike.
Fitz is not as quick on his feet as Corbett
is hut he is q great improvement in this
particular over any man Corbett has ever
met with, excepting the wonderful black
man, Peter jackson, for Peter was very

guaranteed bond and at least $3.50 in shares
| C, for each $1,000 of per cent consol al
| least $500 Of 3 per cent new guaranteed
| bonds, and $500 in shares.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May lS.-(Special
to the New York Herald.)-The insurrection
grows with tremendous strides. General
Martinez de Campos has changed his mind
about ending the trouble in three months.
The chiefs are greatly elated over the
progress OF the revolution. They say that
more has been accomplished in the last
month than during the first five years Of the
last war. They declare that this war will
not last more than two years and may be
terminated in a very much shorter time II
the people of other provinces do what is ex-
pected OF them. The original plan for
simultaneous rising in all parts of the island
failed and the plan now is to extend the wave
OF revolution westward, sweeping the Span
iards before 1t until all Cuba is in arms
For this purpose Gomez and Marti have
gone to Puerto Principe, and already comes
news OF encounters between government
troops and bands of Cubans formed in an
tlcipation Of their arrival. In this province
the rebels now have more men, more arms,
ammunition, horses and facilities for obtain
ing subsistence than they had at any time in
the ten years war. They have forests in
their rear which are impenetrable to the
Spanish troops and they have mountain re-
treats where 100 men can hold their own
against 1000.
