PETER JACKSON DONE FOR.
The Dusky PugiIist Knocked Out In Three
Rounds by Jim Jsnries, Corbett's
Sparring Partner.

SAN Francisco, March 2S.-Jim JEFF
fries, of Los Angeles, easily defeated
Peter jackson in the third round last
night at Woodward's pavilion. Jack
son did not make much of showing
after the first round. He displayed
some of his old-time cleverness in
ducking and jabbing with his left, but
could not land hard enough to stop the
rushes Of his younger and stronger
antagonist Jeffries showed consider
able improvement in cleverness, using
his hands with both judgment and
precision. The second round was
lively until Peter got hard left swing
on the jaw, which sent him down on
his back. He arose only to go down
again from the same blow and was
saved by the gong sounding time.
Jackson came up looking fairly fresh
in the third round, but soon received
a hard left on the jaw, which made
him wobble helplessly about the ring.
Another blow from Jeffries sent him
against the ropes where he hung UNI
able to lift his hands. Over 1000 peo-
nile witnessed the fight.

Medicines at Santiago Were Sufficient
to Last Fortnight.

Washington, December 10.-Major Valery
Havard chief surgeon of the Department
of Santiago, who went with Shafter as CHIEF
surgeon of the cavalry division, testified be-
fore the war investigating commission to-
day that his medical supplies on landing at
Siboney were adequate for the needs OF the
cavalry for perhaps fortnight. but no
longer He had made every effort to get
supplies landed but the difficulty was great
and he could get no boat to reach the
transport Rio Grande.
At the second division hospital, the medi-
cine, dressing and stimulants were suffi-
cient, but the bedding, food, etc., were in
adequate. He admitted that some regi-
ments in the Santiago campaign were not
supplied sufficiently with medical officers.
Surgeon Harvard said he was chief sur
geon in command after July %, and that
to his knowledge no transports carrying the
sick had been sent away improperly sup
piled. Going back to the difficulty in get
ting at supplies he said he believed--first,
the transports were not properly loaded
when sent to Cuba; second, that there were
no adequate means of unloading, and, third,
no adequate means of carrying supplies to
the interior.

lions of the coast defenses at the time war
was declared and advocated keeping
greater supply of guns and ammunition on
hand.
