THE JACKSON-JEFFRIES FIGHT
CoMBATANTS WILL APPEAR IN
FRISCO TONIGHT.
Heaviest Money On Jefries, Though
Peter Is Expected to Put Up a
Very Good Participating News.

San Francisco. March PA great
deal Of interest is manifested in the re-
suit of the fight between Peter Jack
son and Jim Jeffries. which will be de-
cIded at WOodward'S pavilion tomorrow
night. Both men have finished their
work in preparing for the contest, and
from now until they meet in the ring
VIII take matters easily. Jackson has
undergone a six weeks preparation.
and, much To the surprise of his many
admirers, he has shown great form IN
the last week or ten days. In fact. he
has shown such good form in his prac-
tice that those who thought him has
been" are now laying their money on
him. He is apparently strong. and as
far as boxing is concerned has lost none
of his cleverness or agility, still having
those quick peculiar blows that won
him so many battles. Jackson will
weigh about 1875 pounds He has taken
off but 10 or 10 pounds.
A close observer of pugilists has this
to say of Jackson's chances: There is
no doubt that the contest depends upon
Jackson's vitality. If he can prove
that, in his case, all prscedences con-
corning age and fast living of pugilists
DO not apply to him. then he should
prove the winner.
/ believe that Jackson win endeavOr
10 make lne contest q snort one, re-
alizing that the longer it lasts the bet
ter it viii be for Jeffries. However if
Jeffries decides to force matters. he
Will find in Jackson a defensive fighter
who has no equal among the heavy
weights, and while Jeffries may rough
it a little, he Will not rush q la
Sharkey.
Youth and strength are the two
principal aids that Jim Jeffries viii
have on his side. His youth and
strength will be pitted against the
science of Jackson, and the rule has
been that youth tells more than any
thing in pUgilistic encounters where
both men are more or less experienced.
Jeffries has a tribe the advantage in
height and some in weight. He is half
an inch taller than Jackson. measuring
s feet l inch, and weighs more by
about 20 pounds. He will enter the
ring at 215 pounds.
All things considered, it will be a
contest between the two largest men
in the pugilistic world today, and has
been very aptly styled the battle of
the giants"
The betting favors Jeffries at 10 to s.
with the prospects of the odds evening
up by Tuesday night.

SPANISH MAINE INQUIRY.
Private Admissions of Failure to Es-
tablish Accident Theory.

New York, March PA dispatch TO
the Tribune from Havana says:
The Spanish inquiry into the Maine
disaster has gone to pieces in seeking
TO establish the accident theory.
This admission is privately made in
government circles. The nature of the
boards report will not be changed.
The explosion viii be charged to un-
known causes, but the Spanish flnding
Will be with view of making q case to
be passed on by third party. The
work of their divers has not been thor
ough. Apparently they have found so
little evidence on which a theory of in
ternai explosion. can be based that the
Spanish court is not willing to stacd
unequivocally on the theory of accident,
which il set out 10 maintain. The facts
have been known for three or four days.
This may account for statements
from Madrid that the Maine incident
will not be a cause of war between the
two countries. and also for hints at ar
bitrating the disputes on the question Of
fact. This talk is semi-official.. The
Spanish authorities realize the improb-
ability of successfully contrOverting the
case which viii be presented when the
report of Captain Sampson and his as
sociates on the American board of in
quiry IS published. They have had an
inkling that the evidence on which an
external explosion due to foul play will
be charged is meant to satisfy, not
simply the American people, but the
judgment of experts throughout the
world. How strongly this conclusion
of the American board is fortified will
soon be known. The cue received from
Madrid is to have a counter case ready,
so that suspension of the worlds judg-
ment can be asked until diplomacy can
arrange a satisfactory settlement. The
evident hope of Blanco's government
is to keep the Maine incident entirely
distinct from other Cuban questions.
Notwithstanding this lack of confidence
in their own theory of accident. it can
not be learned that the authorities are
doing anything to uncover the conspir-
ators who are responsible for blowing
