posed of the stolen goods

up about $500 in gold, $50 in silver, plenty
of gold watches and jewelry, besides a

FlTZSlMMONS' MANAGER TALKS.
Only Finish Fight WIN Satisfy His Man,
Says Jmllan.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-In an inter
view with Martin Julian, manager of
Robert Fitzsimmons, the pugilist, con-
corning the offer of President Gensllnger,
of the now Bohemian Athletic club, OF
Now York, for Il twenty round contest be-
tween Corbett and Ftzsimmons, Julian
referred to condition of the offer that
"Honcst' John Kelly should net as referee.
IF Honest John Kelly is ever present
Mt contest In which Fltzsimmons fights
1t will be merely as spectator said
Julian. "We will not have him as referee
at any price. We don't want a repetition
Of tho Corbett- Mitchell fight in Florida.
Kelley was referee of that affair and ho
did not seem to havo tho use Of his eyes
when Corbett struck Mitchell foul blow.
But even with John Kelly eliminated,
tho offer does not suit, continued Julian.
'"Ths purse is u liberal one, to be sure but
1t is for Il twenty round CO. and that Is
not the kind of fight We are looking
after with Corbett. We want to meet him
to finish Corbett knows this as well as
we do, and he knows further that no such
fight can be handled in tho state Of New
York. His speech in Boston Tuesday
night indicates he is willing to 60 any
whore on earth to settle this business with
Fitzsimmons, and l am satisfied IN offer
will DO forthcoming before very long that
will inform the sporting world where the
men can be put into ring to fight until
one Of them cries enough. Dan Stuart
has got such place, and there are others
in the field looking for battle ground, as
we'll as Stuart.

offered Corbett S. 100 in bahalf of u New

character. The letter to Mr., Menocal says
the testimony justified the conclusions OF

at Is clear, beyond any doubt, that the
accident occurred because Of the removal

To Resume the Investigation.

arrangements made some time ago by
Chairman Andrews, of the state senate
investigating committee, that body will
resume its inquisltoral functions in room
$50 of the city hall, at 2 o'clock this after
noon. Silas w. Petit, counsel for the
committee, declines to disclose anything
regarding tho immediate program of the
committee or tho identity of the witnesses
who will appear There is ample reason
for believing, however, that the alleged
improper conduct of certain police officers
during and preceding the recent election
will be one of the earliest matters that
will receive the committees attention.

WEYLER MAKES NO HEADWAY.
Facts Which Indicate the Truth of Re-
ported Iusurgent Success.

ported Insurgent Success.
HAVANA, Nov l0-Very little news ro-
garding Captain General Weylers opera
tions against the insurgents in the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio, is allowed to leak
out from the palace. This reticence is en-
couraging to those who secretly espouse
the cause of the insurgents, and report
that has been quietly circulated, alleging
defeat for Weylcr's forces, is credited,
Major Baznn, of the Spanish command
er's staff, arrived here yesterday from the
front He says that the operations are
most difficult, and adds that the captain
general slept two rainy nights on the
ground and without blankets, and that he
has been several times without meals.
In spite of the fact that the weather has
greatly improved in Plnar del Rio, and
that the authorities assert that tho health
of the troops in the field shows improve
ment, 1000 sick men have recently arrived
here.
Tho following persons have been ar.
rested oil the charge Of conspiracy with
the insurgents: Miguel Coimbm, Ventura
Ferrer, Manuel Gomez, Rafael Arrange,
Pablo Rivero, Felix Martin, Victor Planas,
Oscar Romero and Tcodora Ocampa.
The insurgents are said to have fourteen
factories in operation between Soroa and
Cabnnas in Pinar del Rio. Nevertheless
reports arc reccTed Of scarcity of food and
clothing. The constant rifle volleys which
have been heard since the invasion of
Pinar del Rio by Captain General Weyler
have frightened the cattle, and they have
hidden in the mountains, where it is diff
ffnlt 70 coc,,rn than f,r f,n1.
The police, by forming an ambush, sue
cceded in surprisinga party in tho Avenue
Infante, on the outskirts of the city, who
were preparing to join the insurgents
Two of the party were killed, but two sue
cccdod in escaping. A policeman was
wounded in the melee.
