to dry footing, as they were the last on
deck.
There was considerable delay in getting
the battle on account OF scarcity OF
boxing gloves. Corbett had retained pos
session of his mittens after the inter-
rupted fight of a week before, but the
Choynski faction had allowed Joe's gloves
to be cared for by friend who failed to
reach the place OF battle. Corbett, to ex-
pedite matters, said that he would use
his two-ounce gloves and that Choynski
could don any Of the several pairs OF
driving-gIoves which were in the posses
sion of the sports. Choynski finally
selected pair of mitts that happened to
fit him nicely and the battle was soon de-
clared.
Corbett started into the engagement
with a crippled right hand. which was
sore from his fight in Marin County. In
the fourth round be broke the third
knuckle OF his left hand, but he remained
on deck and fought right along TO a finish.
Choynski was coached by Jack Dempsey
and Corbett had Billy Delany as his prin..
Joe quite lecture before the contest and
admOnished him 10 stay away from Cor
bett, otherwise he would leave him to
look out for himself. Choy ynski listened
i'm plicitly to the, then great ring general,
and, acting under instructions, he re-
ceived q terrible face punching. Corbett,
who is a long-range fighter, jabbed Choyn-
ski with his lett until the receiver could
hardly see his opponent.
In sheer desperation toward the close OF
the fight Eddie Graney instructed Choyn-
ski contrary to Dempsey's wishes, to get
in close and mix 1t up with Corbett, and
he sailed in and slogged with right and
left. ,Corbett appeared for the first time
menced his new style of fighting too late
from loss of blood and the exertion of
hot rush winded him. There were many
OF the spectators who said that If Choyn-
ski had cut out his own style of Fl hiing
and had some other second besides Demp-
sey the result would have been different.

seven rounds. Corbett's wounds consisted
OF two manned hands, black eye, swollen
lips and a lump on his forehead.
Choynski's face looked fearful. 1t was
mass OF cuts, bruises and discolorations,
with both eyes in mourning.
Corbetts next contest OF any note was a

decision. But his next battle, which was
the hardest of all, took place in the old
California Club against Peter Jackson. the
colored heavyweight champion of Aus
tralia.
The contest was declared draw at the
end of the sixty-tirst round. Both men
manifested such marked cleverness that
heavy blows were out OF the question. and

Cuban Insurgents Have Planned
Formidable Attack.

NEW YORK. December IA dis
patch to the World from Havana says
that an important battle is expected
hourly. The insurgents have planned
the most formidable demonstration
against Havana of the year.
General Parrados has started from
this city with strong column of
troops to meet the insurgents. Senior
Canalizas, the confidential agent of
the Spanish government, went with
him to ascertain the real condition of
Havana province.
Gen. Rordiguez, with the combined
Cuban forces under Juan Dolgado La
darez and Rafael Zecardinas, is now
encamped about twenty miles south of
here. He has fully 1000 men, who are
well armed, and is said to have new
Hotchlliss rapid firing cannon.
Emilio Consalo has hanged Antonio
Rivera and negro named Osman.
They went to Collozo with money and
proposition to lay down their arms,
accepting autonomy. A note was pinn-
ed on the breasts of the hanged men
announcing that anyone coming or a
similar mission would meet a like fate
as the first.
The latest reports of the late fights
in Pinar del Rio province show that
the Spanish loss was more than was
claimed. The dead or wounded In
clude one colonel, one major, seven
captains. eleven subordinate officers
and seventy-four privates. Most OF
the wounded will die. The rebel loss
was fourteen. The rebels used eXplo-
sive bullets.
