GETS TWO YEARS In PRISON
Owner of the Laurada Feels the Heavy
Hand of the Law.
fIlIsUSTERING Is EXPENSIVE FOR HART
Attorneys Have Not Decided Whether
They VIII Appeal to the su-
prcme Court or Ask for
u Pardon.

PHILADELPHIA, March S.--Captain John
d. Hart, owner OF the flibuster, Laurada,
was sentenced In the United States district
court at 1885 this morning to two years
Imprisonment and to pay a fine OF 500 and
the costs of the prosecution.
Captain Hart was taken to prison immedi-
ately after the sentence was pronounced. The
costs of the prosecution are about $4,000.
Captain Hart's wife and two other female
relatives and many business men Of Della
ware avenue, with whom Mr.. Hart has been
associated for a number of years, were In
court when the sentence was announced. The
women broke down and were led from the
room weeping. His business associates
crowded about the prisoner as he was led
into the deputy marshal's Office and offered
their sympathy.
Captain Hart is about 40 years of age and
has been in the fruit importing business for
nearly twenty years. Shortly after the
Cuban-Spansh war broke out he leased two
of his steamers, the Laurada an6 Bermuda, to
the Cuban patriots for the transportation OF
arms, ammunition and men to Cuba Some
OF the largest expeditions that touched the
shores of Cuba were shipped on these vessels
and their departure was due in a great meas
ure to the skillful manipulation of the
steamers by Captain Hart. His family con-
oists of wife and two daughters
Late this afternoon Hart's counsel appeared
before Judges Acheson, Dallas and Buffing-
ton in the United States court of appeals and
applied for writ of error. Assistant United
States Attorney Kane said that while the
government did not assent to the granting
Of the writ 1t did not oppose such action The
writ was granted and Hart was released upon
the entry Of bail by his former bondsmen In
the sum required before his trial-$7 900.

soUTHsIDE IMPROVEMENT CLUB
Members Discuss BouIcvnrIs, Water
Works and Street Railways.

Works and Street Railways.
The Southside improvement club held a
meeting at its rooms at Tenth and Hickory
streets last evening with a small attendance.
John Powers, president of the club acted
as chairman, with F. X. Darling as secretary.
AS soon as the body had been called to order
E. j. Cornish spoke upon the subject of
South Eleventh street as proposed for boule-
ward purposes. He states as chairman OF
the Board of Park Commissioners he had
received communication from the residents
of South Eleventh street in which they ten
dered the thoroughfare for boulevard. Mr..
Cornish said that the funds at the command
of the commissioners would not permit of
their accepting the proposition at the present
time, although he was in favor of 1t per-
sonally. He stated, however, that even
should the board accept the street in the
future it would not be until 1t had been
brought to grade at the expense of the prop
erty holders. Mr.. Cornish spoke in favor of
the building of a boulevard TO extend west
from Riverview park to Hanscom park, and
said that he thought such land as was re-
quired for the purpose should be donated by
those owning land in that vicinity.
e. Stuht talked along the same lines and
also stated that should Eleventh street be
taken into the system OF bouleyards that
there was a project under foot whereby
q portion of the stone roadway extending
south OF the Eleventh street yiaduct should
be covered by a layer of asphalt. Mr. STUNT
also talked upon the city water works ques-
ton and quoted facts and figures in con-
nection with the water systems of other
cities tending to show that it would bo
move toward municipal economy for Omaha
to own its own water plant.
Uuon motion of Mr., Cornish the officers OF
the club who held positions during last
year were UNANIMOUSLY elected to continue
in power.
Mr. stuht and others talked at some length
upon the subject of street car extension TO
Rlyerview park. Most OF these present were
in favor of the extension being made south
along Tenth street. 1t was stated that nu-
merous property owners upon Tenth street
objected to tracks being laid in front of their
houses and in order to ascertain If this was
a fact a committee of three was delegated
to circulate a petition among the residents
asking the company to build such extension
and waving all damages.

DOM McAFFnEY ON THE FIGHT
Says Fitzsimmons VIII Win and Tells
Why lie Thinks So.

O'NEILL, Neb March ESPECIAL y
Dominick McCaffrey was in from the ranch
yesterday. Concerning the great fight at
Carson he said Fitzsimmons would win, and
then made the following statement as re-
CARDS fighting and the relative merits of the
two men:
81 have refereed great many fights in my
time, but never met two men who would
live up to their agreement in a contest in re-
gard to breaking away fairly Always one
of them would do the sneak act The best
way to avoid that and to let the referee have
a clear road Is, according to my way of
thinking, to let the men fight all they want
with one hand free. 1t is as fair for one as
the other. Furthermore, the rules don't
cover everything and a great deal rests with
the discretion Of the referee.
81 look for both men TO be In superb physi-
cal condition. Billy Delaney Corbetts
trainer, told me some time ago that Corbett
could do four mems work while training and
eat accordingly, and know Fitz can run ten
miles in an hour, which Is extraordinary,
considering that he Is not professional
runner. 1 still contend that 1t is great
boxer against great fighter, and the fighter
will win, all things considered.
ITO Corbett is due the credit OF training
more intelligently and introducing the
latest devices to prepare for contest than
any man l know. He Is also more UP to
date in catching on to anything new that
might 1urtner MS interests III any puSllStlc
contest in which he might contend. On the
other hand, Fitz has those great instructive
qualifications Of a natural fighter that will
not be denied when 1t comes to an ISSUE
'"The four natural qualifications of first
class fighter are: Intelligence, speed
strength and hitting power. Comparing Cor
bett and Fitz: Take Corbett outside of fight
ing, l consider he is more inte ligent than
Ftz, but in the art OF fighting Fitz has that
born fighting brain that characterized John
l.. Sullivan at his best. AS for speed in box
ing, If 1t were for points, Corbett would be
sure winner, but this is fight to a finish
(and herein comes the distinction between
boxer and a fghter). l consider Fitz hse
more strength from the waist up than Cor
bett, where the strong points of a fighter
are most needed. AS for hitting power, Fitz.
simmons has better shoulders. better fore
arm. better wrist stronger hand, which are
the essential points thst make up a hard
hitter He puts his whole heart and mini
with a blow, and the judgment he uses in
accuracy, time and distance in knocking out
such fighters as Peter Maher and Jim Hall
