CORBETr NOW TALKS.
May Accept Frisco Clubs Offer if Full
Receipts Go.

New York. Oct. 15.-James Corbett
was asked whether he would accept the
offer of the san Francisco Athletic
club today to deposit $4,000 in the
hands of the referee who may be Sc
lected for the fight between Corbett and
Sharkey. for which they signed arti-
cles June 20, and setting December 3
as the day for the contest.
Dan Lynch, on behalf of Sharkey, ac-
cepted the proposition last night, and
awaits word from Corbett, who said:
IF the Frisco club viii agree to sew
eral conditions. and fair ones at that,
am willing to fight Sharkey out there.
OF course, the bout which Sharkey and
I signed for some time ago is of. Now,
if the club viii put up its $4,000 in the
hands of a reputable man, it will make
things easier to start with. Then the
articles must be signed in New York
and the rules agreed to- don't want
to engage in wrestling match. AS to
date. can't fight before January TO-
1 am to start out on the road with my
theatrical company shortly, and am
booked till December J. But if these
conditions are agreed to and carried
out I viii be only too glad to make the
trip to Frisco. Another thing, viii
insist upon is that the winner take
every cent of the purse. No 60 per cent
affair for me-"

THE GRAVE ROBBING FAKE.
No One Takes Any Stock in the Cara
bonnie Torriani Story.


A report is being circulated that the
man who wrote the fake story about a
man dying in a New York hospital and
confessing to being the perpetrator of
the Medical college outrage last winter
was in Topeka two OF three weeks ago
and secured the material for his story
here from the parties interested.
The story was traced to Jack New
man by a Journal reporter but New
man was on-communicative. He had
heard such a story from some one but
refused to give the name of his in
formant He also refused to relate in
detail the story as he heard it from the
man who met the fake writer.
Dr. Minney was asked about the re-
port and said. There is not a word Of
truth in 1t SO far as I am concerned and
the man who says 50 states an untruth.
/ never met such q man and besides I
have no money to squander In any such
a manner. expect to be exorerated
by q jury when the proper time comes
and am willing to leave my case with
them when the time comes. never
met any one in Topeka who was on any
such business as is charged nor did I
hear that any such man was here
I knew nothing about the story
printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer IN
til my attention was called to it by
some one I had no idea that the re-
port of the confession would put an end
to the grave robbery cases and when
the time comes we viii submit our evil
dence to the jury"
Did you ever know a man by the
name of Carabonne Torriani?' asked
the reporter.
mo, I confess that I never knew a
man by that name" replied DR.. Min
ney.
There Is no doubt that it is the inten-
ton of some of the people interested to
use the confession in the trial of the
cases, but at least one of the attorneys
for the defendants has no faith in the
story and will SO state to the jury This
is Otis Hungate and he is attorney for
NJ E. Lowe who is charged with being
the person who robbed the graves.
Mr.. Hungate said today to a Journal
reporter: so far as I am concerned I
have not the least faith in the story
and I viii tell the jury So Our case
does not rest upon any such fimsy
fake as a purpOrted confession in a
New Y Ork hospital of a dying man. I
do not believe a single word of it and it
would be an insult to the intelligence
of 4 jury to rest a defense upon any
such grounds.
Il would like to know how this man
who claimed he robbed the graves hap
pened to know just whose graves he
robbed and was so accurate about the
initials. There were no head stones on
any of the graves, and it is surely not
customary for such q man to know all
the details and remember them 50
WE'LL
County Attorney Stafford who will be
the principal prosecutor of the case has
the Enquirer story was in Topeka but
he told a Journal representative today
that he had not yet had time to invest
igate the story.

SPAIN WILL GIVE Up
If Cuban Rebellion Is Not Put Down
by March.

New York, Oct 15-A special to the
Herald from Cadiz, Spain, says:
If Spain has not put down the in
surrection of Cuba by the first Of next
March, it is the intention of the gov
ernment to give up the struggle and
let the island go.
The significance of this statement,
coming direct from one of the officers
of rank ia the Spanish army within this
week must certainly be regarded as of
no little Importance. The above de-
termination IS an open secret among
those who are close to the government
and it is said that the policy is being
adopted of eNaggerating the magnitude
of the trouble in the Philippine islands
with a view of preparing the people for
the ultimate design of letting Caba go
BY way of further confederation OF
this estimate Of the situation it may
be remarked that while Spain is send

She is also keeping IN Spanish wa
ters y warships which are all ready for

in Cuban waters in aiding the United
States in the police work which she
now asks that country to do for her.
