Me Vey jumped into that ring on purpose to stop the fight and it was all fixed for him to do it.'
 What will you do in regard to any challenge that Sharkey or Corbett may send in your direction?''
 "Do," said he, with great scorn, "Tll pay no attention to either of them. They have put themselves further away from any attention from me than ever. Let them go and get a reputation. This kind of fighting makes me tired. It ain't on the square There is only one honest fighter in the world. and his name is Robert F'itzsimmons' Jimmy Barry. the 105 pound champion of the world. remarked: Its too bad. The big fellows are killing the game.

 SlO,OOO From R Woman

Cleveland, Nov. 22.-State Senator Burke was a witness to-day in the dis barment proceedings against him. He testified that he was introduced to Mrs Manning by Judge Dellenbaugh in the latter's private office and that the latter there told him all about the Manning divorce case.

Mrs. - said she would make the first payment, $5,- 900, in cash. Dellenbaugh said our fec should be third of that amount He said that he would take one-third of it and I should take two-thirds.

NOT GUILTY OF COW1RDTCE.
Attempt to Dishonor n Massachusetts
 Officer Fails,

Washington, Nov. 22-The court of inquiry has entirely exonerated Lieu tenant J. c, Fennessy, quartermaster of the Ninth Massachusetts, of charges brought against him by officers of that regiment, but finds that four of these officers are subjects for military disci- pline. Lieutenant Fennessy was charg- ed with cowardice and with failing in his duty as quartermaster. The board not only generates Fennessy, but finds:
 That the allegations made in the public press of Boston referred to the court of inquiry for investigation are false, unfounded and malicious
 That Captain George H. F. Murray, Company B; Captain John R. Dunn, Company I, and Second Lieutenant Mi chael J. Desmond, Company B, and Sec and Lieutenant James A. Gully Com pany I, all of the Ninth regiment, Mas sachusetts Volunteers, are subjects for military discipline"
 The men named will not be brought to trial for the reasons named in the following endorsement of Judge Advo- cate General Liebers: 'Inasmuch as this regiment is about to be mustered out of the service of the United States, and it is believed that the finding of the court with regard to the four officers named as having made themselves sub ject to military discipline, being pub lished, will show the character of their accusations and make clear the fact that these charges against Lieutenant Fennessy were unfounded proceedings against them are solely for these req sons, not recommended"

4 CHARGE TO FRESHMEN.
Advice Regarding Their Attitude To-
 ward m Anglo-A A m erican Alliance,

Dublin, Nov. 22.-Louis Stuyvesant Cyanler, who went on the stumping tour through Ireland with John Red mond during the summer of last year in the interest of the Redmond league, while addressing the Irish Independent league here this evening said he must deprecate the attitude of Irishmen who threaten to use the Irish vote ifi the United States against any Ameri- can government that would enter into an alliance with Great Britain" Irish men," he said, ought to appeal to America on loftier grounds. America has become a great nation by Irish mems aid. I do not believe she in- tends to form an alliance with Great Britain, though naturally she is grateful to the nation that offered to help her. Should England, however, eventually propose an alliance it is safe to say that the American sense of justice would never sanction such a union un- til Irelands claims on England had been adjusted and settled

calomel, and a great lack of surgeons and hospital stewards.
 With reference to Camp Wikoff, Colo nel Roosevelt said that there was great confusion for the first three days after the arrival of the troops. During these days" he continued, 'I do not think our men were treated as well as they should have been so near home, but after that there was nothing that l could find fault with. l thought our brigade was admirably treated and our sick admirably cared for. The record was badly kept at the hospital, but the work was crowding the authorities, ana as our regimental records were also badly kept I don't care to complain about itA Of course I can only speak or the experience of my own regiment"
 Why was there scarcity of medl- cal supplies in Cuba?" asked Df' con nor ''I don't know. l heard there were plenty on the ships. There was lameutabla need of ambulances. l think we could have done better with fewer men and more transportation,
 Were the privations greater than you expected?" was asked T did not | CApSSl etIlS lulllS. Ncil to eetrAS eiih'iSN' as they came. think that nearly all the privations there might have been avoided if the transportation facilities had been better arranged"
 Have you anything you can suggest to us for the future?" asked General Wilson. "I believe all the faculties we met with,' said the witness, would be obviated in the future if the national guard were trained as are the armies of foreign countries. Give them long marches. Let them mass at San An tonic and move to Galveston or some other place. March them to port and embark them. No matter ii it does cost money. Let them be trained. Each year let the army in peace be put through the experience it must meet in time of war
 Then" said x-Governor Woodbury, you think that to the inexperience of the volunteers were due most of the dis comforts ?"

THE FEELING IN MADRID
AIERTC4N PROPOSALS RECEIVED
 WITHOUT ANY SENSATION.
The General Sentiment Is in Favor of Speedy Ending of the Negotiations
 The Newspapers Lament the "Ungene- rosity" of the United States in Offering
Issue More Bonds.

Madrid, Nov. 2S.-The proposals of the United States peace commissioners have been received here without any sensation. The general feeling is in fa- vor of a speedy ending of the neGotia- tions. The newspapers lament the "un- generosity" of the United States in of fering such a small indemnity" They think that Japan or some of the Euro pean powers would have paid a higher price. There are those who contend that it would be better to decline in- demnity altogether. because the gov ernment could then decline responsibil- ity for the Philippine debt. There is much irritation at the apathy of Flu rope.
 The Imparcial says: President Me Kinley now boasts of having himself written the protocol in order to mis- lead Spain. This is adding insult to in jury. Yet Europe looks on undisturb- ed. All ideas of justice have vanished from the world" It has been decided to issue one thousand million pesetas of nominal interior bonds at four per cent. to be devoted to the treasury.
