JEFFRIEs DEFEATS ARMSTRONG.
But He Skaters an Arm and So is
Unable TO Meet O'DonneII

NEW YORK. August '5.-Jim Jeffries,
the mueh-heralded heavyweight pugilist
from California. was TO have fought Bob
Armstrong and Steve oDonnell for ten
rounds each before the Lenox Athletic
Club tonight, but he was only able 10
carry out half OF his proposed task. He
met Armstrong and defeated him. but in
doing so he shattered his left arm, and
was unable 10 meet O'Donnell. This was
an unfortunate thing. both for Jeffries
and for the club. as the former felt per-
feetly confident OF defeating both men,
and the managers OF the club were sorry
to be compelled TO disappoint their pa
irons.
Many shrewd judges OF boxers are sat
ished that Jeffries is a promising and
coming pugilist, and they hope that the
injury to his arm will not be serious.

PORTO RICO ITEMS.

Two messages were received at the
War Department to-day from Ponce, the
first announcing the death of brilliant,
young army officer and the second from
General Miles himself, touching the trou-
BILE in the Sixth Massachusetts Regi-
ment, which was the subject of official
inquiry by Secretary Alger yesterday.
The details of the latter telegram are
not obtainable but it is apparent that
General Miles is determined to repress
sternly, at the very beginning, any de-
parture from military discipline, even
among the volunteer element in his com
mand. AS nearly as can be gathered,
the officers Of the Sixth declined to sub
nit TO an examination which was pre-
scribed by the brigade officers, the proper
authority, and upon the instance Of
the latter they sought to resign their
commissions.
General Miles, himself, is dealing with
the case, and if he should decide to al
low these officers TO resign, or discharge
them from the service of the United
States, and the latter is possible, the
Governor Of Massachusetts will be called
upon to appoint their successors.
MILES'S COURSE APPROVED.
1t can be said that up to this time the
officials are thoroughly satisfied with
General Miles's conduct of the Porto
Rican campaign, and they do not hcsi-
tate TO admit that the events that have
occurred since his landing at Guanica
fully justify the arbitrary change made
by him in the carefully laid plans of the
department for the conduct OF the cam
paign.

LETTER FROM SCHUYLER POST.
The letter received by Colonel Murphy
from the adjutant OF Schuyler Camp
Is as follows:
Headquarters
Philip r. Schuyler Post. No. 81,
Philadelphia, August l. 1898.
Mr.. John Murphy, Richmond, Va:
My Dear Sirs,-Yours of the 26th instant
TO hand and your letter was read ts the
club yesterday, and all hands were
pleased with the contents, only one
thing was brought to our attention.
which was published in one OF our daily
papers. copy Of which have sent you.
Now, my dear boy, l wish 10 make the
whole thing clear, so there is no mistake.
In the first place, we are not the
Pennsylvania Brigade. We are members
OF Schuyler Post, No. 81, and members
OF other posts In this city.
For several years past. attending all
department and national encampments,
We formed a club consisting of Grand
Army Of the Republic men, members OF
our Citizens Corps, and Sons OF Vete-
rams. We care not what regiment man
belonged to or what business he follows,
so long as he is a gentleman. The name
OF the club is the Lambs OF Post OIL,
Grand Army Of the Republic, Of Phtla-
delphia, Department OF Pennsylvania,
which was adopted several years ago.
and we are known as the Lambs from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and this is
the first time we are turned down. As
far as negroes, we have none i'm our post.
We are white folks and white in all our
doings.
L had written some time ago TO
the adjutant of Phil Kearny Post TO try
and arrange with them dee Camp for
n social intercourse during our stay in
Richmond. 1 hope you will try and eX-
plain the matter TO Lee Camp that we
are not the Philadelphia Brigade, and
for further reference l would refer you
to Mr.. Tiller, a member of Lee Camp;
manager Of the Metropolitan Camp. at
Washington, ID. c. l am very sorry that
this has happened, as it will cause us
considerable trouble 10 explain away
They are accusations that we are not
responsible for. However, I trust 1t will
be all right by the time we arrive at
your place.
With kindest regards. I remain, yours,
etc, JERRY S. FBUeK,
