FISHING SMACK CAPSIZES.
One Man Drowned and Another Mar
roWly Escapes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-Informa-
change this afternoon of the drowning
of a fisherman off Land End Station,
below the Cliff House, and of the mar
row escape of another.
The two men We're out in a small
skiff, and We're observed from the shore
to be having a hard time to keep their
little craft from being blown into the
breakers. A high northeast wind was
driving them inward and their peril
was apparent
The boat began to bound and toss in
the troubled water. At one moment
it seemed to have gone to the bottom
at the next its bow shot skyward. A
big wave finally overlook it and, CURL
ing at the crest, threw it on its side
II to the trough of the sea.
The men found themselves in the
swirling water and began to swim des-
perately. They were borne rapidly in
towards the shore, and it is believed
that one of them was disabled by being
thrown on the rocks. AT any rate, he
ceased to struggle and his lifeless body
was finally dashed upon the beach. The
other man continued to work his way
inward and at length succeeded in get
ting out of the surf. He proved to be
an Italian, who was unable to speak
English. The names of the two men
are unknown

will last six rounds. two to one that he
will stay three rounds, two to one that
Firzsimmons will win, and one to two
that he will put out his man in four
rounds. Sharkey money is abundant,
but is not to be found in large quanti-
ties. The friends of the sailor reason
that ipasmuch as he has been able to
take the hardest punches Corbett and
Choynski had in stock, and take them
without fiinching, FitZsimmonS will
soon wear himself out and become dis
couraged. The Cornishman's hackers
laugh at this. They say that Corbett
could not hit hard enough to beat an
egg, and that Choynski had the sailor
all but out when Sharkey disabled him
with a foul punch which took away all
Joe'S stamina.
Predictions are that standing room in
the Pavilion tomorrow night will COM
mand premium.

FlTZS1MMONS AND SHARKEY
The Two pugilists in the Pink of Con.
ditioli for TO.Night's Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. bob Fitz-
simmons had a narrow escape from in
jury this afternoon while walking from
Mill Valley to his training quarters at
Sausalito. A horse driven by a small
boy became unmanageable and dashed
around sharp curve in the road, over
taxing the pugilist just at the turn.
f1tZsimmons side-stepped in time to
avoid being run over, but a young man
on a bicycle who was a few feet ahead
OF him was not so fortunate, and re-
ceived severe injury.
The Cornishman has been suffering
from a slight cold, but declares that he
Is in perfect condition to go the route
to finish, If necessary. He expects
to hand out such punishment to the
sailor as the latter has never before
received, and as for stopping Sharkey's
rushes, "These hurricane rushers are
the easiest kind of game" Is his re-
ply.
Sharkey is wagging his jaw in true
professional style, and says that he
will not only humble the Cornishman,
but will do the trick in less than ten
rounds. The mariner Is in superb con-
diton, and his trainers assert that a
blow on the chin from a marlin spike
would not distress the heavy champion

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The
Board of Education and the Board OF
Health, two branches Of the city gov
ernment, have locked horns and cried
defiance at each other. The Board of
Health has ordered several of the
schools of the city to be closed, for the
reason that diphtheria threatens to be-
come a widespread epidemic. The
Board of Education scoffed at the fears
of the Board of Health, and ordered the
schools to be opened again. Both boards
Immediately rushed to arms, so far as
such ordinarily quiet and civil bodies
can, and they made to-day day of ex-
cftement in their immediate provinces.
Deputies were stationed about the
schools by the Board of Health, with or
ders to see that the doors were kept
closed, and that the pupils were not ad
mitted.
The Board of Education, feeling the
breath of this opposition, assembled by
special call, and there was hot counsel
IN the direction of sending an army of
other deputies to meet and combat the
deputies of the Board of Health. This
fiery talk was allowed to sizzle a bit, and
then 1t was decided that the courts
would be appealed to, and an injunction
would be asked tomorrow morning re-
straining the Board of Health from in
terfering with the special powers and
responsibilities of the Board Of Educa-
ton.
School Director Henderson was ar
rested to-day by Health Inspector Cam
eron for tearing down a warning notice
posted by the latter, and Father Bren-
nan has been served with a warrant
which calls him before Police Judge
Campbell tomorrow on a charge of
having violated health ordinance, in
that he opened st. Francis Parochial
School after it had been ordered closed
Other arrests are threatened to follow

In the meantime the pupils of the
closed schools are having a vacation.

ordinary prosaic holiday affair, which

pected and accepted as a matter of

CHICAGO, Dec IA special to a
morning paper from Washington says:
A crisis in the affairs of Cuba is rap
idly approaching, and there is every
reason to believe that President Cleve-
land has already decided on cctiOl
which will startIe the country almost
as much as his famous message on
Venezuela, although the exact tire for
the announcement depends somewhat
on future operations in Cuba.
BY this action the President will not
change his previous policy in regard to
Spain and Cuba in any regard. but
will simply carry it out to its logical
conclusion, which is a direct ana open
threat of active intervention on the
part of the United States to secure
peace on the island, whether by the in
dependence of the patriots or by vol
untary action on the part of Spain.
All the rest of the Presidents message
was practically settled upon at their
business meeting to-day. The Cuban
question was left open. From three
different sources the policy partially
agreed upon was learned this evening
and the reports in each case tailed
with surprising unanimity.
A definite and somewhat startling an
nouncement on the Cuban question will
be made to Congress either in the regu-
lar annual message or in a supple
mentary announcement, as was the case
with the Venezuelan question.
Minister Dupuy de LONE has been
fully advised of the impending an
nouncement and he anticipates what is
in effect an ultimatum, believing that
Spain will be able to prevent action on
the part of the United States by the
success of Weyler's operations in Cuba.
The policy adopted is scarcely matter
of debate any longer, and unless there
should be some sudden change in affairs
in the island through the success or de-
feat of Weyler's campaign, the issue
will soon be sharply drawn between
this country and Spain.
In his communication to Congress.
when 1t shall come, President Cleveland
will in all probability declare that dur
ing the last year since he communicated
to Congress on the subject, there has
been furnished no evidence of the ter
mination of the war which has devas-
tated Cuba and has interferred so ma
terially with the commerce Of the
United States. He will show that on
one hand the Cubans avoid a direct
conflict and that on the other hard up
to the present time the Spaniards have
been utterly unable to quell the insur-
rection.
