TELEGRApHIC.

 terday in a bull ring of New Laredo Mex. an African lion, named Parnell, fought terrible battle with an enormous grizzly bear of the American type. The animals fought desperately two rounds until completely exhausted. Neither was killed. It was a bloody combat.
 Twice the American grizzly threw his African opponent, erstwhIle the king of beasts so hard upon the ground that once had time been called, according to the usual rules, the lion would have been counted out. Throughout the bat tie the lion showed more agility, aDd treachery, but the bear must be given the palm for stubborn, solid strength.
