The failure of Spain to conquer the

by the continuous defeats of the troops

with Him.
/. SAN FRANCISCO. June 24.-Miss
Lansing Rowan, an actress of the
Frawley company. has challenged
Champion Corbett to meet her in a
scientific sparring contest.
The fair brave who wishes to put on
the gloves and score points with Cali
fornia's pride, looks anything in the
world but a female pugilist She is a
type of young woman familiar to the
English-the sort of agile, rosy
checked lass who thrives on her con-
stitutional tramp of many miles daily.
She is in height somewhat above the
average, measuring five feet, seven
and, one-half inches, and weighs 1856
pounds. Miss Rowan commenced her
athletic career at Mrs. Reeds school
in New York.
+. In discussing her challenge of the
champion she said:
Indeed, l am quite in earnest. l
know it sounds dreadful, but l don t
look on the matter in that way. 1t is
simply that l have made scientific
study of boxing and feel absolutely
sure that l ian meet Corbett ON his
own ground.
Am 1 in training? Yes; that is a
certain part of my work L keep up all
the time. 1 take exercises in my room
and wax either in or out to the park
every day. 1 ride to the beach and as
1 go out early l am not disturbed,
and L do my running there. That 1
like best of all.
What do L wear when boxing? Oh,
just a sweater and bloomers. l have
not my suit with me, but it is an easy
matter to arrange for that. l will get
it at short notice.
When word was conveyed to Corbett
he smiled. scratched his head and did
some heavy thinking. After consider
able cogitating he said: Well. don't
know what to say. That is the strang-
est proposition l ever received. I will
try and think out this problem. if
Sharkey leaves anything of me, but I
dom believe [ am equal to the occasion
just now.''

Public opinion in Spain as in Europe

a political point of view. stopped half

duties demanded by them by patriot
ism without worrying themselves over
the result. But even if it is not So
