MADRID. Aug. 25.-For the moment the gen.
el impression is that when Gen. Woodford
arrives In San Sebastian a policy Of delay will
Be adopted. and that nothing practical will be
done while her Majesty remains by the seaside.
This policy does not meet with the approval Of
The Spanish. The press issas bitter against tho
United States as ever. Ell Pals. for instance,
urges the Minister OF Foreign Affairs to notify
Gen. Woodford Immediately after his arrival In
ban Sebastian that Spain will deal with Cuba as
che pleases, and that II the American Minister
nhould trample upon certain conventions and
present absurd demands his passport will be

Mccoy and Ryan In Fine shape for Their Battle
Tonight
The winner of to.night's battle at Syracuse bo-
tween Tommy Ryan and Kid Mccoy will receive
quite a boost in the pugilistic ladder. The men
are to box twenty rounds at 1853 pounds for o
purse and a good slice of the gate receipts. The
affair will take place at Alhambra Hall, which
is the new home OF the Empire A. G. The con-
test is a very important one, as the victor will
receive a chance Of meeting the man who 10
claimed to be the best 15s-pounder in the bust
ness-Dan Creedon. The latter was in town
yesterday and told a reporter of THE Sun that
he would be at the ringside tonight prepared to
make u match with the winner.
Mccoy is the favorite In the betting in this
city, and his friends are placing their pile on
him with unwonted vigor. Those who saw Mo
Coy defeat Ryan at Maspeth on March Q, 1895.
in fifteen rounds believe he can do the trick
again. Mccoy has improved a great deal since
that time, judging from his contests with Dick
O'Brien and Billy Dougherty. Ryan. does NOT
Mccoy. On the other hand. he thinks he is Q
better man. He claims that he held the kid "
too cheap the last time they fought, and was In
poor condition. He also contends that he will
not be caught mapping tonight, as he ID In az
good Il trim as he ever was.
Jimmy Wakcly. Warren Lewis, and other
wellknown sporting men OF this city will go to
Syracuse to see the mill. Wakely is a firm Mo
Coy man. and has wagered a tidy sum on the
Kid. who is favorite at 10 to s. Prof. Jimmy
Kelly writes that he saw Mccoy the other day,
and that he was two pounds below the weight.
