FEARS He WILL KILL FITz,
COrbett'S Sinister Comments
Anent the Coming
Battle.
Glad a Precedent Has Been Estab-
llshed by the AcQuittal of
the Australian

NEW YORK, n. Y, July Now that
Fitzsimmons has been declared ''not
guilty." interest naturally centers in the
big fight and what the men are doing in
preparation. Corbett was seen by re-
reporter to-day and said:
you can say one thing for me: [ never
started to train feeling as well as l do
now. have not commenced my work yet
and shall not until about six weeks before

hold man responsible for an accident of
that kind. Take for example the COM
ing fight; if | should be so unfortunate as
to kill him, no one would be more sorry
than |.
Il do feel certain of the result. was
never more so in my life. In the first
place, / never considered Fitzsimmons in
my class, and the only way he can con-
vince me that he is is by whipping me.
Some people are very unkind in their re-
marks about me, accusing me of being
afraid to meet him and of being a news
paper fighter. / don't think there is any
thing in my record that sustains their
statements. When Sullivan was champion
after meeting IAilrain, it was three years
before he fought again, and yet no one &C.
cused him of being a coward, in spite of the
repeated challenges of Slavin and Jack
son, and when Slavin met him personally,
Sullivan told him he had retired from the
ring.
''Now, if l had shown great haste to
meet Fitzsimmons when the match was
first proposed these same people would
have said | was looking for easy honors by
going out of my class. OF course | know
FitZsimmons is anxious to meet me. Why
shouldn't he be? He has everything to

ghost of show wouldn't you take those
chances? About his confidence of winning
l will only say one thing:
~ give Fitz credit for being smart

he could whip another in q punch when
by merely keeping silent he could get odds
of to for his money? His utterances
appear to be the boasting of frightened
man.

SIDE DOORS ARE CLOSED,
Roosevelt RigidIy Enforcing
the Sunday Law in
Gotham.
Even in the Famous Tenderloin >
District and the BoWery Thirsts
Remain Unslaked.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July This city
to-day had somewhat the appearance of a
Maine prohibition town. There were less
saloons doing business than on last Sun
day. Many of them, who had done a quiet
business on previous Sundays, were closed
to-day beyond all doubt. Many of the
saloon proprietors had been impressed by
the statement of President Roosevelt OF
the Police Department during the week
past that the excise law would be strictly
enforced on Sunday, and that any one
caught violating it would be arrested.
President Roosevelt has convinced the
saloon-keepers that there would be no
bluff in enforcing the law, so most of
them decided not to take any chances. A
few, however, kept open to-day, but, as on
last Sunday, they would not admit any
one unknown to them.
Heretofore on Sundays in the hotel cafes
small plates of cheese and crackers were
placed on every table, and anybody who
presented respectable appearance could
take seat, and by eating or pretending to
eat some of the cheese and crackers could
get whatever he called for to drink. This
was changed to-day at all of the hotels.
Patrons were handed menu and required
to order something to eat before anything
to drink was served to them.
The famous "Tenderloin DISTRICT was
no exception to the ''dryness'' prevailing
in other parts of the city, and the Bowery
was particularly deserted.
In many churches to-day the ministers
delivered sermons extolling the crusade
against the opening OF the saloons on
Sunday.

BULLETS FLY At A PICNIC.
Indiana Clans Settle a Re-
ligious Feud of Long
Standing.
Upon in the Panic That
EnSueS.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, July THE
Tribune's Siberia Und.) special confirms
the report of the German riot at that place
Friday night. The trouble was the result
OF religious matters.
William Geiss and Henry McKimberly
had been enemies for years. Their enmity
was brought about by division of their
church. McKimberley had frequently
threatened to kill Geiss and many fights
have occurred between them and their
friends. They had not seen each other
for many months and when they met face
to face they renewed Immediately the old
trouble. Geiss had many friends among
the picnickers and so had McKim berley.
Both knew there was going to be trouble
and each called upon his friends to help.
McKimberly suddenly drew a revolver
and before Geiss could get his weapon out
the former fired several shots. Geiss was
bit twice. and fell to the ground. A friend
ran up and handed him a rifle. Hardly
able TO sit up, he took deliberate aim and
fired at McKimberly. The latter fell, and
soon became unconscious.
In another minute the men in attend
ance were engaged in riot. Ali kinds of
weapons were used. Women and children
tainted and were trampled upon. Many OF
them were badly bruised and some seri-
ously injured. The riot continued until
the Geiss faction drove the friends of
McKim berry from the scene. 1t took hours
to get the injured and the women to their
homes.
The people are still greatly excited, and
it will probably be some time before the
matter is fully investigated by the author
tiles. McKimberly is said to be dead.
There have been no arrests.

PLANT OF THE STRIKERS.
Charges of Fraud against Vest Tir0init
Nine Operators.


HUNTINGTON, w. VA, July flames
Lang, one of the striking miners, arrived
here this morning and expressed a hope
that there would be no need of the troops
in that locality on account of the trouble
and differences between the operators and
men. The miners, he said asked only for
what was just. The operators had agreed
to pay them 70 cents for each carload of
coal OF two tons mined, but the cars had
been increased in size to about four tons,
with no increase in the coal-diggers' pay.
The men then agreed to enter into a scale
agreement of 35 cents ton and have the
coal weighed, but this the operators had
declined to grant.
The large number of miners put to work
at Thacker, he said were now ready to
join the strikers, and he thought that I'M
less an amicable settlement was entered
into by all sizes by the 10th, trouble would
be apt to ensue.
CHARLESTOWN, w. VA, July T.
Governor MeCorkle has been in receipt of
several messages from the strike region
to-day, all of which state that everything
is quiet and there is no probability of
trouble at present.

General LaehGmbre of the Spanish Army
Commits Suicide an Cuba.
NEW YORK, n. Y, July IA dis
patch to the Recorder from Santiago de
Cuba, says:
A report has reached here to the effect
that General Lachambre has shot himself
General Lachambre was recently called be-
fore Governor-General Martinez Campos
and warned by him that should he not be-
come more moderate in habits he would be
sent back to Spain in disgrace. General
Lachambre left for the field with division
of Spanish troops, but the warming did
not seem to improve his habits. The
commandments reason for warning
Lachambre is that he is despotic man,
and when under the influence of liquor
might enact some cruel butcheries.
Another report has it that General
Lachambre had been shot, his wound be-
ing a serious one. The report of suicide,
is, however. generally believed to be true.

THEIR RACE SOON ENDS.
After a Short Trip, an Acct
dent Compels the Yachts
to Return.
BUILT FOR LIGHT WEATHER.
The Flyer Demonstrates Her Ina
billty to Sail Fast in a
Heavy Breeze,

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 1T was
supposed that it was the intention to
speed the Defender with the Colonnla as
trial horse outside of Newport to-day.
Both yachts left Bristol about noon, and
although the weather was almost ideal Tor
spin, the yachts did not go farther down
the bay than Gould Island. 1t is thought
by those who were watching the yachts
that there was an accident of some nature
on board the Defender which necessltated
her return to Bristol. This was, however,
denied at Bristol tonight. However that
may be, man was sent aloft while the
yacht was off Gould Island and the yacht
lay to for fully five minutes. 1t was pre-
sumed that she mad broken the jaws OF her
gait, or met with an accident OF some such
nature. The yacht was some time in COM
ing about after the sailor descended from
aloft and she at once bore away for Bristol.
There were many disappointed ones at
Newport over what is supposed to be the
unavoidable change of programme, num-
Der of craft being all ready to follow the
boats out of the bay.
The Defender carried working topsaIl
in addition to the three other sails which
she spread to-day. There was only fair
sailing breeze blowing, yet the Colonnla,
carrying the same sails, was not in it with
the new boat. The Defender simply ran
away from her eonsort. 1t was of course
difficult to tell just how fast she was sail
ing, but in an estimated distance OF four
miles, both yachts close hauled, the cup
defender beat the COLOMBIA fully fifteen
minutes. She is certainly wonderfully
fast light-weather boat.
On the other hand, she did'not stand up
to her work well and showed indications of
being tender. While the COLOMBIA, carrying
the same sails, stood up stiff as house, the
Defenders lee sail was buried under water
all the time; and this in sailing breeze in
which she ought to have easily carried
both a iib topsail and club topsail.
Judging from the performances of both,
the designers evidently desired to turn out
light-weather craft and in this they have
evidently succeeded. Whether or not they
have overshot the mark remains to be
seen.

Passengers arriving to-day from Havana,
via Key West on the steamer Mascotte,
state that Campos is moving on the Santa
Clara district with q force of 1000 men, well
armed and equipped. Gomez is coming
toward Havana with force Of 4O00 men,
all armed and equipped, and the probable
tiles are that there will be a collision be-
fore many weeks. In his march Gomez is
carrying the country before him, and the
number of people joining the insurgents is
simply astonishing. Gomez is reported as
saying he wants no more men, but arms
and ammunition.
The report that Sandoval, who led the
forces that murdered Marti, has been cap
tured, is confirmed by the passengers.
They assert he will be shot.
A cablegram to the Times Union from
Key West says: Private advices to this
city state that the insurgents under the
command of Antonio Maceo are in posses
sion of the entire east end of the island,

1t is reported in Havana that several ex-
petitions are being fitted out at Costa Rica
and Mexican ports. The Spanish gun
boats are ordered to keep a sharp lookout
for them.
A band of 100 under command of Ma

Although the National meet of the League

Council have suspended the bicycle lamp
ordinance during the week of the meet. in
order that visiting cyclers need not be
bothered to bring their lamps and may fly

The representative of The United Press

A Clyde yachtsman, who has followed

his opinion, the boat is pulling out of
