SAN Francisco, Dec. q. - Four

MILES ANNOYs CLEVELAND.


ST. LOUIS, Dec. PA special to The
Globe Democrat from Washington says:
The president and Secretary of War
Lamont ara seriously considering the
advisabi1ity of silencing General Miles.
That they are much incensed by the in
discreet talk in which the general Of
the army has been indulging in regard
to the weakness of this country's coast
defenses and the general inability to 60
TO war with assurances of success car
be positively stated. Had it not been
for the high regard in which they both
held him as q soldier and their indispo-
sition to inflict the indignity Of rebuke
on one whose services to his
country in the past have been
meritorious, they would have taken &C
ton before now. But General Miles,
in his latest speech in Philadelphia, has
brought them to the limit Of their for
b~earance, and another such break on his
part will. in all probability, lead to his
suppression. In his Philadelphia speech,
not only did General Miles blazon out
the defenseless condition of his country,
but the whole unaercurrent of the posi-.
ton taken by the president. His chances
for acquiring the title of lieutenant gem
eral have been lessened, it is thought,
by his recent utterances.

THE RING.

Coney Island, May 3O.-The principal
bout at the Seaside Athletic clubs arena
tonight was a 2O-round go at 134 pounds
between Kid Lavigne of Saginaw, Mich,
and Jack Everhart, Of New Orleans. The
latter took the place of Young Griffo !"
who, owing to legal entanglements, was
unable to appear. The New Orleans man
is at least two inches taller than LaYigne.
The first round was rather tame.
In the second round they mixed things
up. With his left Jack put three hard
ones on the Saginaw mans nose. La
vigne got in two heavy blows in the
stomach and two over the heart In the
next three rounds Lavigne did all the
fighting and had the best of it.
In the seventh, eighth and ninth the
fighting was lively. Lavigne rushed mat
tiers, but got about as good as he sent.
In the tenth Everhart got in twice with
his left on Lavigne's face and ratified the
same place, but got as good as he sent.
In the twelfth and thirteenth ROUNDS
honorS were even. In the fourteenth EV-
erhart landed twice on the jaw
In the next three rounds the lighting
was hot and to neither mans advantage.
In the eighteenth Lavigne got IN Two
lefts on the face. Both countered left on
face and Lavigne got in left on the
wind. Both countered again on the face
In the nineteenth Everhart landed twice
on face and in the clinch both fell. Ever
hart looked a bit weak and his eye was
fast closing.
In the twentieth and last round they
went at each other very wickedly, ana
EVerhart succeeded in landing three le1t
swings on the Kids face. Lavigne's right
hand landed frequently on the body, and
with his left got to the throat. Eyerhart
uppercut him with the left in rally ana
Ilavigne replied with lett on the race;
They wound up the bout with right and
left hand swings on the body and face.
The referee awarded the bout to La.
the leading, and this decision was re-
ceived with cheers. Time of fight, 1:l9.

San Francisco, May So-The Examiner
prints the following: Colima, Mex.-A
special messenger arrived from Manzan-
lilo this morning at 1 o'clock with official
information for the. governor of Colima,
regarding the Colima steamship disaster
off Manzanillo. The report laments the
loss of 100 people more. Then it goes into
the causes of the details of the wreck.
Seventy-five miles below San Bias a
hurricane was encountered, and it was
debated whether the ship should attempt
to gain a partial shelter in the shallow
and treacherous Banderas bay, which
has rocks near its entrance, or to push
out to sea.
One passenger, Don Matias Moreno.
testifies that while cautiously steering
for what, ito all appearance, was the
usual entrance to the bay, a slight trem-
BILE was felt through the ship. The cap
tain ordered a slight change in the
course. and gave other directions which
were obeyed. In a very few seconds after
the keel ground on a rock lightly.
On an Unknown Reef.
There was at once great excitement
among the officers and crew and fear
on the part of the few passengers on
the deck. In less than ten seconds, the
great ship crunched on an unknown reef
and shudder ran through the hull.
The passengers sprang from their
berths in. terror and ran out onto the
decks, screaming and praying in par
oxysms of fear, as the awful truth began
TO burst upon them.
The wind howled and dense fog hung
over the ship as she was tossed by the
Il 10
peices upon the rocks. She rose and
fell three times. then crash was
heard.
Man the boats" trumpeted the cap
tain.
After short interval, in which an
other crash was heard from beneath the
water. The boats had previously been
made ready with all the life savers
placed at convenient points, although
covered from the view of the nervous
passengers. Within three minutes of the
first crash in the hull. the ship began
to reel from its upright balance, to set
tie and sink in the free hinder part.

Chicago, May 30-In one corner OF
Oakwoods cemetery there have stood
for many years rows of short white
stones which mark the last resting
place of 5000 men who. in the days be-
tween the years of 81 and 80, wore
the confederate gray, and who, far
from their homes and friends, sealed
with their lives their devotion to the
'lost cause" Today there stands above
these lowly stones of white, tall and
beautiful monument erected partly by
the sons of south land and partly by
men of the north.
Today, above these grass grown
mounds, the grizzled veterans Of the
G.. A. R. and the white-haired war
riors of the south clasped hands and
realized that the war is over.
Side by side were the men who sent
Pickett's brave Virginians against
Gibbons wall of steel on Cemetery
Ridge, and the man who stoutly hurled
back Hoods charges at Franklin,
Longstreet and Schofeld. Elbow to ell
bow stood the men who led the lest
blood of the south behind the guldons
of Stuart and he who was the cavi-
llSI par excellence OF SQerlUdn s IA
nous cavalry-Fitzhugh Lee, Hampton
and Wesley Merritt There were pres
ent any number of other men who had
borne their part nobly and with dis
tinction, and others Of the rank and
file who fought as bravely and march
ed as we'll, but found no glory save
that hung around the colors OF the
army in whose ranks they fought.
These men who so often had stood
against each other in the smoke OF
battle, stood today with tear-dimmed
eyes while the cannon which had
borne their part on both side OF the
struggle and which will now stand
around the monument, were spiked
and forever silenced by the fair hands
of women.
There was love and tears for all
for federals and confederates; there
were flowers, garlands for all; and if,
in the chance of war the men in blue
had won the laurel while the willow
was left for those in gray, no one to-
day perceived any distinction in the
honors given to the memories of the
departed warriors. Laurel and willow
were intertwined and so enwreathed
were laid on graves and hung on mon
uments and no one asked when decor
ating each grassy mound what uni
for the sleeper wore, or who restaf
beneath.

BATTLE MOST BLOODY.

men. The Helton crowd was sur
rounded and fired upon from ambush.
They returned the fire and some of
the Taylor crowd were wounded and
carried to the mountains. The battle
grew out of a series of law suits and
a controversy between Johnston and
Taylor over the possession of some
