DIXON Is CHAMPION STILL,
His Contest With SoIly Smith Was Purely
for Points,

San Francisco, Oct. 6.-The decision
Smith wins" rendered by George
Green in the Smith-DiXon fight Monday
night does not deprive Dixon of the
featherweight championship of the
world. The decision was on points, and
nothing else. In order that Smith may
acquire the featherweight champion
ship of the world he must fight Dixon
to a finish, which he declares he Is
ready to do at any time. Green's de-
cision is regarded as an eminently fair
one.

Havana, Oct Elm spite of Captain
General Weyler's prohibition, notable
demonstration took place here to-day
In his honor. The bourse was closed,
as were also the principal stores, and
the tobacco and the main streets were
decorated.
The various professions united at
Central park and then moved together
to the plaza in front of the captain
generals palace, where as many as TO-
900 people We're gathered. Several
bands discoursed music. The plaza and
the thoroughfares leading into it We're
densely crowded. A number of deputa-
tions went to the palace. where they
were received by the captain general.
According to the official accounts,
they assured him that it was the desire
of all local Inhabitants of the island
that he should continue at the head of
the government and carry on the CAM
paign against the insurgents. They
ItlSO cApICSSSo SoliiloCllSC lioe liz A'AsN
drid government was inspired with al
together too high designs for the well
fare of the country to withdraw the il
lustrious chief, who had subjugated the
insurrection.
Captain General Weyler, after thank
ing the deputations for their assur-
ances, said he had accepted the COM
mand in difficult circumstances and
without conditions. The success of the
campaign could be estimated and prop
erly appreciated by the country from
the visible facts. In the course of sew
en- months four important provinces
had been nearly pacified, and he was
confident of being able to pacify the
two remaining provinces at the proper
time with the forty battalions ready
for the task.
He said he expected to be able to pac-
Fly Puerton Principe and Santiago de
Cuba at an early date; "for the rebels
there know me and fear me, and will
not resist me- he continued. "Still. I
believe the war should be ended with
war. here as everywhere else, and not
at shameful dealings disgraceful to any
nation, and all the more so in view of
the terrible condition of the rebels. l
have followed the illustrious Canovas.
I would like to please those who are
to-day demonstrating in my honor by
remaining in Cuba, but the delicate po-
sition in which I have been placed has
compelled me to-day to request the gov
ernment to dispose of my position in
whatever way it may think convenient,
and, however, the matter may be de-
cided, shall always be profoundly
grateful to the loyal inhabitants of Gu
ba who in such eloquent terms have
expressed their absolute approval Of the
policy am following to bring the war
to a close. care little for the criti-
cism made by a section OF the Spanish
press, whose newspapers have been
found even in expeditions landed on the
island or for the calumnities Of the dis
guised or undisguised Insurgents OF the
towns"
When General Weyler appeared on the
balcony OF the palace ne was, accord
ing to the official account, "frantically
cheered" py the crowd, after which the
various professions paraded through
the principal streets for two and a half
hours, shouting for Spain, the queen
regent and the government. The en-
tire demonstration was orderely and
is officially described as without po-
litical color"
