won. He entered the ring cripple hav-
ing injuredsshis ankle just before the fight
and practically sprained the joint. In
that condition he STAYED off Corbett for
81 rounds. SO that it is probable that had
he been in prime condition he would
have won. When Corbett met Mitchell,
the latter was "has been" and had no
business to fight at all 4
In regard to the Shnrkey .Corbett four
round go Mr.. Austin said that Corbett
had been taking baths at Hot Springs
Ark. before the affair and they had
weakened him, SO that he entered the
ring practically baked Ccrbett did not
know until several days after the contest
why he had felt SO queer during the en-.
counter, and until he accidentally found
ont the cause of his failure to win against
the sailor had decided to retire from the
ring.
Concerning MoCoy's record, Austin
said he thought the Kid could have easily
whipped Tommy Ryan in their first
meeting in the first few rounds but that
it was a grudge against Ryan that kept
him from cutting loose at him, preferrinR
to defeat him by degrees and thus give
him more punishment. The second con-
test between the two was stopped by the
police, Austin thinks by Encouragement
Syracuse being Ryan''s home.
A great deal of adverse criticism has
been leveled at Mccoy because Sharky
knocked out Rubin in four rounds,
whereas Mccoy received the decision over
him on points only after the full 20
rounds has been contested. This is Unfair
to Mccoy, as the style of the two meu is
totally different. Sharkey is the strong
est boxer living, in all probability, and
rushes and plunges against his adversary
with little science in the hope Of being
able to land chance blow which will
finish the encounter. Mccoy has not the
strength for such work, but being an ac-
complished boxer can outpoint and tire
lis opponent and thus win out. Austin
thinks that had Rubin not overestimated
MoCoy's fighting mot boxing) ability he
would probably have started the hot
work earlier and won the battle.
Comparing the modern boxers with the
old timers, Austin said there was one
man who stood head and shoulders above
all the present day oratorically inclined
aspirants to championship honors, and he
of course, was John L. Sullivan. He
combined the instincts OF the fighter with
very fair technique as boxer and never
asked who his opponent was, but where
he was, so he could meet him. He had
the bulldog tenacity and ability to take
punishment unfinchingly which consti-
tutes the difference between fighter and
boxer.
The art of the latter may be acquired,
while the former is never learned, but
must be i'll the man.

ON THE GEORGIA COAST.

Savannah, Ga, September 1.-Two
more wrecks were reported today of the
entrance to Calabogun sound. Both were
dismasted schooners. There were no
signs of life on either vessel. The coast
is being patrolled in the hope OF rescuing
the crews of some of the wrecked vessels,
but. except the crew of the bark Noe,
none are known to have been saved.
In the storm-swept section of the coast
the loss of property is increasing. The
first train from the north in three days
reached here this afternoon from north of
the overfiowed territory. The Central
Georgia railroad, Georgia and Alabama,
and Florida Central and Peninsular rail-
roads, are still blocked. The Savannah and
Ogeshee rivers are rising.

DIsMAsTED OFF BREN TON REEF

Newport. R. l.. September 3.-The
schooner Lady Antrim of Boothbay,
Me-, was dismasted off Brenton Reef
lightship last night and lowed into this
port this morning by the fishing schooner
Marguerite Haskins of Gloucester. The
Lady Antrim left Rockland August 20,
bound for New York, with 1880 barrels
of lime. After being detained in Vine
yard Haven for three days, she proceeded
yesterday. About ten miles off the light
ship thunder shower came across the
bay and the scbooner's bowsprit wae
struck by lightning and carried away.
The vessel swung so sharply into the
wind that both masts fell back over the
stern, most of the wreckage falling all
around Capt. Sweet, who was at the
wheel, but not injuring him. The fly
rail-, davits and boat were also carried
away. The cargo was not damaged.

cAvAiGNAC RESIGNS.
The Reopening of the Case Now Seems
Assured.

>"OOfO->--9
Assured.
Paris, September 9.-M. Cavalgnac,
minister of war, has resigned. The
resignation of NJ. Cavaignac is due to a
disagreement with his colleagues, who
desire revision Of the Dreyfus case,
thus a revision of the case seems assured,
N. Cavaignac sent the following letter
of resignation to NJ. Brisson, premier
and president of the council: II have
the honor to send you, and to beg you tt
transmit to the President of the Repub
lie, my resignation as minister Of war
There exists disagreement between III

the government at time when it mos

Dreyfus and as determined as heretofore
to combat revision of the case. 1 do moi
intend to shirk the responsibilities Of the
present situation, but I cannot assume
them without being in accord with the
chief of the government to which have
the honor to belong"
g The Dreyfus agitation is not abating.
The populace was again infamed today
by posters printed by the Steele with
which the town has beeil plastered. They
reproduce two letters which Dreyfut
wrote to the minister of war in 1894, and
one which he wrote to his counsel, M
DeMange, in 1895, protesting his limo
oence and denying that he had ever been
guilty of indiscretion. The posters also
call attention to the fact that Col. Pic.
quart wrote on July affirming the
falsity Of the late Lieut.. Col. Henri'E
documents and they denounce the arrest
and Imprisonment OF Col. Picquart.

with the result that Emperor William
permitted Col. Schwarzkoppen to make a
statement as soldier to soldier to Count
lde Foucauld, tho French military attache
in Berlin, and the Italian government
allowed Col. Panizzardi to say to Col.
Girard -Pinsonniere, the French military
attache in Rome, on his honor as SOL
dier that he never wrote the letter
ascribed to him. naming Dreyfus as the
person who had sold the plans of certain
French fortress. Count de Foucauld and
Col. Girard- Pinsonniere were then sum-
moned to Paris. They were in the antes
room of the war office when NJ. Cav
aienae sent for Lieut.. Col. Henry.
After few questions at that dramatic
interview NJ. Cavaignac declared that
Col. Henry had been imposed upon by o
forgery. Col Henry declared that the
document was genuine, whereupon the
two attaches confronted him with the
respectiye statements of Coils. Schwarz-
koppen and Panizzaroi. Capt. Cugniet
pointed out the intrinsic evidence of the
falsity of the document. Then the min.
lister of war turned suddenly on Col.
Henry, and, shaking the letter In his face
Numbered:
"This letter is a forgery and you are the
forger"
The guilty man did not attempt to
deny the charge. The details of his con-
fession have not been allowed to become
public. 1t is we'll established, however,
that one at least of his superior officers
ia implicated. In fact, it is impossible to
DENY that the French army administra-
ton is now seriously compromised, that
putlic confidence has been destroyed and
the grayest crisis threatens.
It is now universally believed that Col.
Henry committed suicide by order, and
it cannot be denied that he was encour-
aged. IL not urged, to make away with
himself. AS for the others who are gull
ty, enough is known already to indicate
that in this, as in other scandals in
France, 1T is necessary to "chercher la
femme.p
Ii is known that Gen. Boisdeffre, lately
chief of the general staff, who was most
active in shielding Major Esterhazy, and
therefore in proving Dreyfus guilty, is
the friend of a woman who, throughout
the case, devoted herself to exculpating
Major Esterhazy. 1t is impossible to give
tho details of this feature Of the story or
to dwell upon the sensational reports at
tributing atrocious crimes to high officers
of the army whom the people lauded as
gods and heroes during the lola trial last
winter, but the scales are falling from
the eyes Of France at last. 1t remains to
be seen what she will do when she real
ICES the full measure of the deceit, hum
bug and humiliation of which she has
been made the victim.

BLOW EN- SKY HIGH.

Our yesterday mornings dispatches
revealed the fact of great activity
upon the part of the army and navy.
Forts and arsenaIs are being overhaul
ed navy yards and stations being put
into ship-shape, ordnance factories are
receiving fresh orders and the fighting
men and the things to fight with are
being enumerated and estimated. In
addition to these things, congress is
voting certain sums without discussion,
and the president himself admits that
things look serious. As for the Maine
and what really happened in the Span
Ish harbor Of Havana the public knows
little. The authorities at Washington
claim that they know no more than the
public But they do. They now know,
and probably have known all along,
that that harbor is filled with danger
Gus explosives, and that the Maine
went in there taking chances. Speaking
of harbor defenses and Of the fact that
the United States government has not
been asleep, the Lawrence Journal
truthfully and forcibly observes that
f'thn people who have stood in horror at
tho barbarity Of the Spaniards for
planting mines and torpedoes and dy-
mantle in the Havana harbor will no
doubt revise their opinions when they
learn that in New York harbor are dy-
-t1,
guns trained on every ship that comes
from an unfriendly nation. while tor
pedoes by the ton are ready to be sent
spinning through the water to carry
destruction and death to any enemy
that may approach US. These are things
that the ordinary man, going his way
in the peaceful pursuits of life. never
thinks Of, but the war and navy depart
ments remember them, and should the
Spaniards undertake to destroy our
cities they VIII discover that the United
States has not been sleeping. Spain
might, and probably would, do much
damage to our coast cities, but when
the ships sailed back there would not
be as many of them as when they came
over"
Scattered along the coast from Port |
land, Maine, TO Galveston, Texas, are
seventeen fortified ports, in which are
3S5 heavy guns in position to defend /
every important harbor with city. |
They comprise twenty-four Pinch, /
eighty-twO 1O-inch, thirty three S-inch, /
fourteen rapid-fre and 222 Pinch NOR
tars. The war department is rapidly |
manning all of these guns and supply |
ing them with ammunition in readiness !
for immediate use. Some time ago it /
requested congress to increase its limit /
to two additional regiments OF artil- /
1ery, in order to properly care for the |
new Notifications, as provided in the /
bin that passed the senate on Tuesday. |
Thus it can be seen that the United !
States sea coast is not so defenseless as |
one would believe from some accounts, /
to say nothing Of the double and single |
turreted monitors, one each anchored !
at all the principal ports.
