ARE TRYING TO ARRANGE A FIGHT
Believed SharISey and Fitzsimmons
VIII Meet.

San Francisco, Oct. 1S.-Tom Sharkey
the sailor pugilist, is at present engaged
in having fun with Jim Corbett. Fitz-
simmons and Corbett are both after Shar-
key. and the chances at present seem
to be in favor or ''Lanlxy Bob"
When the Nauonal Club of this city
and Sharkey were endeavorlng to pin
Ccrbett down to a definite statement a
few days ago, several urgent kilograms
were sent to him at New York. Every
time came the answer, Important letter
on the way" The National Club turned
their attention to Fitzsimmons, and the
prospects are that match will be
made between him and Sharkey. Cor
bett must have learned how things were
going, for last night he wired Sharkeys
manager from New York as follows
Club here offers $4,000 for 10 rounds,
January l. Deposit $1,000. Answer"
Here was Sharkey's chance to get even,
and he promptly wired, collect:
important letter on the way"
The proposal made to Eitzsimmons by
the National Club was that he engage
in a 10-round contest with Sharkey in
this city some time in December for
purse of $4,000. This was the reply re-
ceived from Martin Julian, Fitzsim-
mems manager:
New York. Oct. Isl. J. Groom, San
Francisco: VIII match Fitzsimmons
against Sharkey on the following condi-
tions: Purse of $4,000, winner to take all,
and $1,000 for our training and travelling
expenses; club to deposit $1,000 as forfeit
on signature Of articles. the balance to
be put up 10 days before the match,
Marquis Of Queensbury rules TO govern.
Either Siler or Houseman OF Chicago to
referee. Match must take place before
December 1, on account of our match
with Corbett. MARTIN JULIAN"
The National Club has complied with
Fitzsimmons demands to the extent of
placing the $4,000 in the hands of 10
cal sporting J. an but it ii mly declines
to allow FitzsimmOns more than $500
for expenses. Sharkeys only objection
is to having the referee selected at this
stage of the proceedings. He says it viii
be time enough to select that official
when the Fitzsimmons party arrive here.
Julian is holding out in the matter
OF the expense money, but is not insist
ent as regards the referee. 1t is thought
that when he learns Corbett is setting his
cap for Sharkey again. he viii accept
the terms proposed, and that it viii be
definitely announced within a day or
two that Sharkey and Fitzsimmons are
matched In a later Wire Julian favored
December s or as the date of the con
test.

SPAIN HAS HER HANDS FULL.
Rebellion in the PHILIPPINES Is No
Small Matter.

San Francisco. Oct. 19.-Advices by the
steamer Peru from Singapore and Hong
Kong state, up to September q, that
the rebellion in the PHILIPPINE Islands is
much more serious than has been gen
orally recognized. 1t is said that the
reports of revolutionists' defeats sent out
by the Spanish officers have been great
ly exaggerated, and that so far the re-
bells have more than held their own in
the struggle for independence. 1t is
stated that the revolution is now beyond
the control of the Spanish authorities,
and that unless achievements are sent
TO Manila Immediately the Spanish forces
are in danger of final defeat. The re-
bells now hold the province of Cavite,
are well organized and have 1000 MauSer
rifles
There are many natives in the Spanish
troops and the officers are afraid to take
the native regiments into the interior be-
cause their loyalty is doubted.
The Hong Kong Press says editorially
that there is no longer room for the least
doubt that affairs in the PHILIPPINES will
in short time assume the proportions
of the Cuban rebellion.
The natives are determined, and as
each rebel signs an agreement he writes
his name on his arm with blood and
swears vengeance against the Spaniards.
The story of the original plans for
striking the blow is a most serious one.
For a long time the natives have been
conspiring to overpower the govern
ment, and 1t was finally decided to make
a strong attack on the 18th of July.
Governor General Blanco was to have
been murdered by one of the natives on
that day, and it was arranged to sud
denly swoop down upon those officials
who attended the funeral, kill as many
as possible, then ransack the town of
Manila and take possession of the
place.
1t is due to a woman that the diabol-
fessional she disclosed the plot to the
priest, who divulged the secret. The ar
rest and Imprisonment of many natives
plainly indicated that the priests were
cognizant of the arrangements, and then,
toward the end of August, the fighting
commenced in real earnest. From that
time up to the middle of this month,
the date of the latest news, there were
repeated bloody conflicts between the
government forces and the natives.
The Manila correspondent. under date
OF September 20. denies that the Spanish
troops defeated the rebels on August
81. The writer says:
Eight rebels were killed at St. Mesa,
and six or eight at San Juan, besides
those on the Spanish side. The bodies
Of the rebels are being left out unbu-
ried to rot

SPANISH PRESS WANTS TO KNOW

terfcre.

Madrid. Oct. Recommending upon the
statements contained in a dispatch rom
Washington that President Cleveland in
tends to intervene in Cuba in a manner
tantamount to the recognition of the indie
pendence of the insurgents, the impartial
declares Spain ought to demand a full ex-
PLANTATION of the Washington government.
"She can not brook such a threat over
her head" continues the Impartial, "even
for a single day. BY what right do the
United States define the time for Spain to
settle a question Of her internal admins
tration? 1t must be affirmed before the
world that the American government can
not impose any sort Of terms upon u.s.
After denouncing the United States fic-
ton at neutrality. the impartial con
cludes as follows: THE conduct Of the
United States will arouse international in
dignation. If Spain should remain alone
in conflict with the United States, Span
iards, by their own efforts, will know how
to mark the difference between the noble
defenders Of their own property and The
vile trafickery at Washington"

IN A WATERy GRAVE
TWELVE PERSONS ARE DROWNED
OFF THE COAST OF OREGON.
While Attempting to Save n Beat
Load of Passengers, All
Were Lost.

Marshfeld. Ore, Oct 2O.-The steamer
Arago, owned by the Oregon Coal & Nav
igation company. from Coos bay for San
Francisco. was carried by the current
and driven on the rocks or the jetty at
Coos Head today, She will be a total
loss. In attempting to land boat load
Of passengers and crew the boat was
capszed. Twelve were drowned, four
passengers and eight of the crew, of
which the following is partial list:
T. MGRAW of Coquille City. passenger.
JOHN NORMAN of Marshfleld. passenger.
RICHARD WALTERS, passenger.
OF the ships crew the drowned are:
nj. p WHITTLE of San Francisco fireman..
ERIC WALL of San Francisco fireman.
RICHARD PATTERSON OF San Francisco, =
steward.
A. FERNANDEZ, chief cook.
w. p BROWN, chief engineer.
J. KRUGER, sailor
HARRY SANDER sailor.
The accident occurred during a heavy
fog. All that is left of the steamer to
be seen is two spars projecting upon the
ocean beach. The survivors were
brought to Empire City on the tug Co
lumbia. None of the bodies Of the lost
were recovered.
The Arago was built by the Union Iron
works in 1885.
Her tonnage is placed at 947 tons. She
was one of the best known boats in this
port. OF late years she has been engaged
as a collier carrying coal from Coos
bay ports to this city. She was com
nanded by Captain Reed, a competent
ana careful navigator. Her full com
pement and officers was &c.
At this season of the year the Coos
bay bar, as it is known. is usually not
rough, though at times if the wind is
from the right quarter the seas roll
mountain high. During October and No
vember it is difficult to tell just how the
bar may act and navigators always ap-
preach the entrance to the bay with
more or less trepidation. Before the jetl
ties were constructed the bar had gainIs
ed the reputation of being one of the
worst bars on the coast, not excluding
the once treacherous entrance to Hum
boldt bay. The improvements of the hsr-
Dor, however. have lately reduced the
dangers that once existed.

A NOVEL PLAN OF CAMPAIGNING
st. Louis POpulists VIII Use sixty
Wagons.


st. Louis, Oct 1S.-Some of the populists
in this city have awakened to the fact
that they have not been as active in
the campaign work as the needs of the
hour seem to demand, and If recently
developed plans carry, they will from
now until the eve or election strive to
make up for all that has been lacking
heretofore. The plans consist of a "wag
on campaign" of the entire city. The
campaign will open next Tuesday even
ing, when the citizens of the city of
Choteau and Broadway will be addressed
on the financial question, irrespective Of
politics, by able speakers from a wag-
on. The number of wagons will be in
creased as fast as competent speakers
can be obtained until they number CO.
and the people will be addressed at that
number of places all over the city every
afternoon and evening until November
B. Each wagon will be p!entifully sup
piled with literature touching on the fin
ancial Issues. and this will ge circulated
to all who evince a desire Tor informal
ton.
Harrison Drummond, the well known
tobacco manufacturer. has offered the
use of an his wagons. and enough more
have been secured to insure the full num-
Der. Police protection, If necessary, has
been guaranteed, and it is the intention
of those having the matter in charge
20 cover the entire business portion Of
the city, also the German residence dis
tricts.
