Corbett Will Remain in Hot Springs Until
November I.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 26.-Corbett
Friday afternoon telegraphed to Phil
Dwyer and others in New York to for
ward the stake money at once. He
stated in the telegram that he was de-
termined to remain in Hot Springs un-
til November and see the matter out.
This puts new aspect on affairs, and
it Is now believed that Corbett has
made up his mind to meet Fitzsimmons
under any circumstances
The champion was furious Friday
afternoon over the receipt of tele-
gram from Martin Julian in which
the latter stated that if Corbett did
not remain at Hot Springs and meet
Fitzsimmons he (Julian) would pro-
claim him a coward and a cur. Joe
Vendig Friday morning wired Dan
Stuart to secure an option on a
large circus tent, and stated that mat.
ters would be materially changed
within day or two.

WAR SCAR e.


The situation In the Far East Coasiasrsa
0rsve- Russia Obtains Right 10 Anchor
Her Fleet At Port Arthur.
LONDON, Oct "a The dispatch from
Shanghai Thursday afternoon an
nouncing the departure of feet of
fifteen Russian warships from Vladi-
vostock for Chemulpo and Fusan, Corea,
and the Times dispatch from Hong
Kong announcing that Russia has
obtained the right to anchor her
fleet at Port Arthur and con-
struct railroads on the Liao Tung
peninsula, have caused intense ex-
element in official circles here as
we'll as in those having commercial re-
lations with the far east These most
important statements are looked upon
generally as being sudden reopening
in an unexpected quarter Of the far
eastern question in its widest sense.
The Shanghai dispatch added that
the Japanese feet in Formosan waters
had been recalled, that several British
warships had been ordered to Corea
and that preparations for struggle
were visible on all sides
The Hong Kong cable message to
the Times caused that paper to remark
editorially Friday: Russia can not
possibly imagine that the great powers
will view with Indifference such de-
struction of the balance of power,
which is almost unparalleled in its
audacity. China's option to purchase
the railways is a jest too cynical to
find place in any serious diplomatic
transaction. Under the indicated con-
ditions Manchuria would practically
become a Russian province, while
Pekin would be within Russia's grip"
1t is admitted here that the situation
is so grave that, should the news
prove true, it would make war in
which several nations will take part
more than probable. 1t should be add
ed that there is every reason to believe
that the story from Hong Kong is au-
thentic, and all sources of information
agee that the powers interested in the
far east will find themselves confront
ed by condition of seriousness which
can not be overestimated.
The St. James Gazette says: Even
war with Russia would be less disas-
trous than to allow her, without a
blow, to get such grip upon China.
She could throttle all other powers
and choke off their commerce.
The impression is general in the Off
cial world, and it is re-echoed by the
press, that neither America nor Ger
many can allow the Pacific to become
"a Franco Russian lake." as the Globe
puts it, and it is generally thought
that the diplomats would be sufficient
ly strong to combine to resist Russian
aggression.
The Pail Mall Gazette sums up the
startling news from the far east with
the statement that Russia has an
nexed China" and, in the course of a
long article on the subject, adds: eff
this treaty is to stand, roll up the map
of Asia"
In conclusion the Pail Mall Gazette
urges the re-occupation of Port Ham,
ilton by the British and the immediate
strengthening of the British feet in
Chinese waters.
Since this important news was circu-
lated the greatest activity has been
displayed in the government offices
here, particularly at the foreign Office
and at the admiralty, and the coming
and going of messengers was continu-
Gus throughout the morning and busi-
ness hours of the afternoon.

Forty-four Houses Destroyed at . Loss of
$4,000.
AUGUSTA, Ca, Oct 26 One of the
largest fires in the history of Augusta,
in respect to extent of territory, Wis
tied this city Friday afternoon. 1t
started in the stables of the lumber

few minutes. 1t was located on the
outskirts of the city, and on one side
was a great stretch of small frame
houses. A very high wind was blow
ing right in the direction of these
houses, and great burning embers
were carried high in the air, setting
fire to houses two and three blocks
away. The wind was fierce and the
neighborhood SO inflam mable that it
was at no time under control and the
fire was not extinguished until it had
spent itself. The embers of A houses
are all that remain in the burned dis
trict which stretches along several
squares. Several hundred people are
homeless. The total value of the prop
erty destroyed is fully $75, 900 on which
insurance is only about $4,000 or

CAVALRY AMeUsHep.

After Severe Fighting the Dpaaiards Re-
treat, LsAyine Eight Hundred Men Dead
on the Field.
New YORK. Oct 2e.-The Times Sat-
urday printed the following dispatch
from Key West:
News received here Friday states
that Gen. Maceo has by forced marches
reached the province of Matanzas and
that last Monday, with $500 Cubans,
he engaged q cavalry force Of 2,so0
Spaniards in the San Juan valley.
Early in the morning the insur-
gent outposts brought news of the
approach Of the Spanish cavalry. Gen.
Maceo at once placed his army in posi-
tion to receive the enemy. A hollow
square was formed, and force Of
1000 men placed in ambush. The
Spanish forces, unaware of the pres
ence OF the enemy, marched into the
trap of death, and were only apprised
of their perilous position when the
insurgents opened fire upon them.
The Spaniards made . brave fight,
but owing to the thickness of the for
est and the boggy condition of the val
ley the cavalry were greatly handi-
capped. After struggle of four hours
the Spanish troops were forced to re-
treat, leaving 800 men dead on the
field.
The insurgents secured all the arms
and ammunition of the dead Spaniards.
This battle is the most important fight
since the breaking out of therevolu-
ton. The Cuban colony here is wild
with Joy.
Private advices confirm the report of
the landing of an expedition in Cuba
under the leadership of Col. Carrillo.
The expedition was landed at Boco del
Toro October 81, and consisted of 4s
men, II pieces of artillery and 2 gat-
ling guns. This is part of the expe.
dition which was recently seized at
Wilmington.

Secretary Morton Is of the Opinion That,

ior to the Worlds Fair.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 60 - Secretary
Morton is enthusiastic over the Atlanta
exposition which, as an educational
institution, he says. is comparably su-
perior to the Chicago Worlds fair.
He says President Gilman of Johns
Hopkins university, who sat next to
him at dinner in Atlanta, told him he
had visited all the great expositions
and none of them equalled Atlanta
educationally. The presidents party
was deeply impressed with the evident
prosperity of the southern country
through which they passed, and the
rapid improvement shown on every
hand. There were as many cotton
mills in process of erection along the
line as existed year ago. The
presidents reception in Atlanta when
he shook hands with eight or nine
thousand people was extremely COR
dial
And every granger in the crowd"
said the secretary, insisted on saying
few words, the general tune being
we've got lots of Scent cotton and we
want honest money for it,"
