GARDNER-M 'CLELLAND.
Great Interest in Pittsburg Over the
Coming Bout
And a Big Crowd Of Smoky City
Sports Will Be Present-Charley
Burns Breaks Out Again-Results
of Bowling Games Last Night
Yesterdays Contests in the Ma
tiOnal and Interstate Leagues.

Nothing in Pittsburg pugilistic cir
cles ever stirred up the interest that
the coming bout between Jack McClel-
land and Oscar Gardner has, and when
these clever boys crawl through the
ropes next Thursday evening at the
Metropolitan Club they will be sur
rounded by one of the largest delega
tons of Smoky City sports that have
ever travelled to Wheeling to witness
a boxing contest The betting on the
result will no doubt be odds on Gard
ner, but McClelland's friends claim
they will be prepared TO take any
amount Of the short end, and word was
received last night from McClelland's
hacker, lobe McCurry, that the clever
Pitttsburger was fit to battle for a
kingdom, and was coming here con-
fident of getting the referees decision.
Oscar Gardner, as usual, has nothing
to say, but, like the sensible fellow
he is, he does not underrate McClel
lands ability in the ring, and is going
through the usual preparations to be
in shape for a good argument. Pitts
burg will be well represented in the
preliminaries. when Mark Kerwin
faces Eddie Gardner. These lads should
make it quite warm for each other.
Charley Burns, the migrate saffron
streaked pugilist, and long-distance
cloth masticator, has broken loose
again in Cincinnati. He expresses sur
prise concerning Gardeners card, and
charges Pearce with influencing the
kid" to write ii. in order to square"
himself as referee. 1t is a signifi-
cant fact, however. that he does not
deny the charge that Gardner had to
force him out of his corner lin one
round. If Burns felt so sore about
Pearce 1t would have been more be-
coming in the man who poses as a
fighter to air his views in Wheeling.
Burns, however. selected the safer. if
not the wiser. course Of waiting until
several hundreds of miles separated him
from the man he publicly charged with
unfairness. In this Burns displayed a
level head. Pearce made monkey of
him in three rounds in Chicago. He
would show up his yellow spots in less
time in Wheeling Burns can get a
match with Pearce at any time he de-
sires It. This challenge is very sweep
ing. vet he can get match with Oscar
Gardner who will weigh twenty pounds
less than Burns Pearce said during
their fight: Burns and Johnson's
contest is disgrace to the game"
motion TO strike ont the words "and
Jchnson's contest" would be unani
mouslv carried if nut to a vote of the
Wheeling lovers of boxing.

eran scout, Buffalo Bill. Col. Cody
was among the first to offer his ser
vices to his old commander, General
Miles, and he was promptly accepted.
He holds himself in readiness to go to
the front when ordered in his old ca
pacity as chief of scouts and guides.
Previous to the present war, Col. Cody
had arranged to present the flag of
Cuba l3bre among the flags OF nations.
Instinctively divining prospective
trouble he has made a study OF the Isle
Of Antille, and secured, through the
agency of the Cuban authorities, band
Of wounded veterans, and has studied
matters over with them for week IN
camp at New York. Several prominent
members of this band, who have re-
covered, left for the field two weeks
ago, and have figured in the dispatches
from the seat of war lately, notably
General Accosta Major De Soto, Lieut..
Antonio Marie, and other men, who
have been wounded and are of no value

artillery will be necessary before it
will be safe to attempt to make an
assault upon the Spanish works, as
the fire of the rifle pits must neces-
sarily be deadly and sufficient to
demoralize any force, no matter
how brilliant in its courage when
halted by wire Instructions.
Some officers believe it will be
necessary to lay a regular siege
to Santiago and advance with a
line of earthworks until the rifle
pits can be shelled with Shrapnel
by the light artillery. These pieces
have an effective Shrapnel range
of $500 yards, and the Mauser
rifles in the hands Of the Spaniards
are sighted to 1900 yards and
they kill at 2,100 yards.
The problem now confronting
the army is the transportation OF
supplies, for the roads to the front
are still impossible for wagons.
but are being improved. In the
meantime, the pack train is being
used. The first of these left Jur-
aqua last night and others left to-
day. The officers and men were
completely out of rations yester-
day The Seventh received half
rations and to-day they receive
nothing. The boys are complain
ing bitterly, but are pacified with
the assurance that the pack train
will be here tonight.
The Cubans with the advance
forces, in spite Of the good be-
havior of their comrades at Guam
tanamo, seem to be utterly worth
less. All day they sit in the shade
of their palm matched camps and
at night they smoke cigarettes and
gorge on Uncle Sans rations,
while in sight of them Uncle Sans
boys with empty stomachs and not
a bit of tobacco for their pipes,
build roads all day under the blaz-
ing sun and sleep on their rifles
under the star lit sky at night.
The Spaniards are using brass
sheathed lead bullets and the brass
rips on touching and tears the
flesh horribly, while the small brass
splinters cause blood poisoning.
They are practically explosive bull
lets and are used in the Reming-
tons. They also cut small cross
through the end of the Mauser
bullet so that it mushrooms on
striking, with a similar result.
The outlook here is threatening.
Everybody believes a great battle
is imminent. With the Spanish
and American advance posts al
most close enough to see the whites
of each others eyes collision may
occur at any moment.

On the Rio Guiana, Sunday, June
26, noon, via Kingston, Jamaica
Monday, June 27.-9 a. m.-The adj
vance force of the American army
rests on this stream with the city
of Santiago de Cuba four and a
half miles westward in plain sight.
Last night the outposts consist
ing of two companies of the

General Wheeler to-day, with the
First, Second and Tenth cavalry
and the rough riders, with dyna-
mite guns, moved up to where Cen
eral Lawton's outposts were last
night, and four batteries of the
Third artillery and four gatling
guns, with a special detail under
Lieutenant Parker, were brought
up and planted on the brow of a
hill overlooking the basin in which
Santiago de Cuba lies.
Not a shot was fired from the
American side last night though the
front of the American line was not
$500 yards from the entertainments
where the Spaniards propose to
combat the advance on Santiago.
The top Of every hill and noun
tain north and east of Santiago
is occupied by blockhouses from
whence the Spaniards can view the
movements of the American army
as it advances beyond Sabanilla
while to the eastward of the city,
upon every knoll and bit of high
ground are shown entertainments.
There are thirty-four of these
trenches and four lines of rife pits.
