denly on the Tlascalans in the rear and
treated them roughly, killing several of
the arquebusiers and wounding the re-
mainder, and although Sandoval turned
on them quickly with his other forces
they escaped in their boats, leaving seven
dead on the field When Gonzalo de San
doval saw what had happened he was an
CRY. and he told those who had been left
to protect the rear that they had made
poor fight, and it seemed that not alone
were they unable to protect our friends
the Tlascalans, but that they could not
even protect their own lives, and that it
was easy to see that they knew nothing
about war. And in truth they were OF

He placed those OF the Tlascaans who
carried burdens where they would be safe
from attack, and then he dispatched the
letters which Cortes had written to Villa
Rica. telling them of our conquests and
warning them to keep good watch. and
that If there were any soldiers there ca

Tlascala, but to come no further until the
road was more secure. Having dispatched
the messenger Sandoval again took the
road for Chalco, which was near by, and
as he approached the town great squad
rons of Mexicans came out to meet him
on a plain where there were fields of
maize and maguey, from which they
make a liquor which they drink. The
squadrons Immediately attacked Sandoval
with arrows and slings and long lances
with which they attacked the horse. But
although they fought well. with one or two
charges of the horse he broke their ranks,

lies he completely defeated them. In the
first attack they wounded five soldiers
and six horses, but Sandoval made them
pay dearly for this, killing and wounding
great many of them.
When the people of Chalco saw how
things had gone they came out to receive
him and paid him great honor, and made
feasts. In this battle Sandoval captured
eight Mexicans, three of them being Cap
tains.
The next day he told the Chalcans he
was about to return to Tezcuco and they
said they wished to send some of their

to Cortes that he wished to do something
against the Mexicans that would be of
service tn our Emperor, and also to re-
venge the deaths of those Tlascalans
that had been slain by them both in Mex
leo and in former times in their own ter
ritories. and that he wished to be allowed
to 60 against a town called Saltocan
which was in the lagoon about six leagues
from Me xico. We had already sent
messengers to the people of this town
three times, calling on them to come and
make peace, and they had beaten the
messengers and replied that what they
most desired was for us to come against
them, as their idols assured them that
in that case we would all be destroyed.
Cortes determined to 60 in person and
bring them to peace, and for this purpose
he took with him two hundred and fifty SOL

of crossbowmen and arquebusiers; and

us on firm ground and for short time
fought valiantly. But we soon broke
them with our horse and crossbowmen
and our arquebuses, and when they were
once broken our Tlascalans charged them
like mad dogs so that presently they fled
into the town and took to their canoes
and hid in those houses which were built
in the water where we could not follow

we passed miserably. as it was very cold;

Another and worse thing which we
found out, that in addition to the plan

The Situation in Texas

AUSTIN. Texas, Sept. 20.-It is learned
here today that Judges Davidson and
Henderson of the court of appeals refused
to sit with Hurt in the prize fight habeas
corpus on the ground that the court
cannot hold legal session during vaca-
ton, and that the proper tribunal to hear
the case was county judge of Dallas
county.
The regular session OF the coart of ap-
peals being at Tyler on the first Monday
of next month and it is stated here that
the Dallas grand jury now in session will
indict the principals OF the recent fight
and they will have chance for hear
ing before the full bench in regular ses-
sion.
berson still stands firm and will prevent
the hight under the commo, penal stat
utes and his determination has given
currency to a rumor in sporting circles
that the fight will take peace in the In
dian Territory not far from Colbert.
Sports here have given up hope of seeing
the fight IN Texas.
The assertion of Governor Culberson
on the prize fight opinion of Judge Hurt,
that full bench should determine the
matter, and, thus determined, the law,
whatever it is, 1t will be lenforced,' is
construed by some here as {show!ng a
weakening on his part, but this is not
true. 1t is believed the laws against dis
turbing the peace and unlawful assemb.
les, relied upon by Governor Ross, are
sufficient and Governor Culberson is to
rely on them. 1t is believed that he will
have Corbett and Fitzsimmons arrested
before the fight and put under bonds to
keep the peace, and If they persist and
enter the ring, they will be arrested and
Jailed before they strike blow.
Everything here plainly indicates that
the power of the state is to be used to
prevent the fight under the common
penal statutes. no matter what decision
law. Outside of sporting circles it is not
believed that Dan Stuart will persist in
having the fight at Dallas in spite of the
governor.
The statement of Governor Cllberson
that he would stop the fight.if there were
enough people in Texas to stop it, has
created a sensation. as all doubts as to
the legal status of the fight were believed
to have been settled by the decision OF
the court of criminal appeals two days
ago. The attorneys of the Florida Ath-
letic club say they have shown there is
no law against prize fighting, and they
are going to DO nothing until the gov
ernor makes his move, when they will
find means to keep him from interfering.
The club people are going right along
with the building and making prepare
tions to pull off the fight. The aplest
lawyers here say the governors only
means of interference is by calling out
the militia, and an injunction would not
effectually stop tnis move.

UNCLE SAM BEING SWINDLED
Gigantic Steals OF Customs Duties in
Germany
ticies Sent to This Country
for Sale

CHICAGO, Sept. 20. Dwight J. Particle,
United States consul at Sonneberg, Ger
many, says that in his consulate alone
the United States government is swindled
out of $3.50, 900 of customs duties every
year. And it .s this same gigantic steal
which brings Mr.. Particle to this country
and to this city at this time. The abuses
responsible for the leak lie in custom
house appraisements at that port and the
thieves there have confeaerates on this
side of the water.
Speaking of the matter Mr.. Particle
says:
Zone of the favorite methods practical
by the Sonneberg exporters and entered
into by the New York buyers was to
knock off 5 and % per cent on the scale.
The competition among the sellers is so
keen that the buyer may get rebate OF
Is or 20 per cent. The buyer reaps the
benefit because he can sell his wares in
American markets at profit increased
by that 15 or 20 per cent, as the casee may
be, and the government is robbed OF Just
that much. For instance, q Sonneberg

cents dozen and reap a profit quotes
them at cents dozen. The difference

collect duty from the basis of the quoted
price. Under the circums tances the only
relief is to have government appraisers
appointed who shall raise the rate OF
value on toys and china to such a figure
as shall end the rebate system and force
the German exporters to keep within the
strict letter of the law
Mr.. Particle recently forwarded to the
department at Washington a report OF his
researches. and the matter was imme
diately Investigated by the government.
Before coming 10 Chicago Mr.. Particle
visited the custom houses in several large
eastern cities. The OBJ ject OF his trip is
to esta blish a method by which the gov
eminent may secure the full duties on
wares i'm ported from Germany.
Mr.. Particle will return to Washington
today to lay before the secretary of state
and the secetary of the treasury the re-
suit of his Investigations. Those officials
have s;gnihed their willingness to place
in force rules which will ultimately
throw safeguard around the public
treasury.

FitzSimmOnS Wants the Matter
Deferred
YANKEE SULLIVAN FAVORED
Legality of That Texas Prize Fight
Decision
Everything In Texas Indicates That the
Power Of the State VIII be Used to
Prevent the Fight

ssociated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-The meeting
today for the purpose of selecting a referee
for the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight was
without result. The matter was deferred
at the request of Fitzsimmvns manager
until October S0th. the day before the
fight. Martin Julian, who represented
Fitzsimmons, said he favored the Sc
lection of Yankee Sullivan. Fitzsim-
mons choice for referee is said to be
Herman Oelrichs of the New York Ath-
letic club. Oelriohs will, beyond all
question. refuse toiserve.
Next to him, Fitzsimmons has the
names of two other prominent members
OF the New York Athletic club. 1t is
not at all probable, however, that either
OF them would serve. Among those most
likely to serve, whom the Australian
would favor. in Jere Dunn. He is known
to be Fitzsim mons fourth choice, and
one most likelv to be urged by Corbett's
opponents. Corbett, in the selection of
referee. claims to be Indifferent so long
as the person selected is capable and has
acted in similar capacity in several
other fights. The latter qualification is
uwelt upon by the hampton.
Corpett today spent several hours at
his training quarters and did some really
good work at punching the bag. Cor
belts knee is still sore and his limp is
perceptible; still he claims it is improv-
ing and he feels no uneasiness. His feet,
which are badly blistered, seem 70 annoy
him more than the knee, although the
latter is known to be III bad condition.
Summed up IN nutshell, it may be said
that Corbatt is working hard and with
good results, and if he is able to keep up
the pace he set today for ten days longer
the outcome of the fight Will be some-
thing of problem, even for the keenest
better.
At late hour it was decided to hold
another meeting tomorrow morning.
Brady will probably then be on hand and
have a say in the proceedings, but as
Manager Julien is firm in his decision
not to select referee until the day be-
fore the fight. unless ''Yank" Sullivan
be chosen, the matter will probably stand
as it is. The matter will doubtless re-
main open until the day before the fight.
Corbett, who has trained several hours
each day this week, was today forced to
stop work on account of the condition of
his feet, the soles of which were actually
raw. His knee also paineo him more
than usual. The sores on the knee are
healing outwardly. blu. the swelling at
the knee cap was greater and the pain
much more severe. With all this the
champion did considerable work yester-
day before he was compelled to quit. He
has not lost hope but expresses confidence
in the outcome of his battle with Fltz-
simmons. He said today that he would
go ahead with his training tomorrow but
may rest up for day or so if his knee
and feet get worse
