| charge of the regiment. Everything Is
running smoothly. The First Battalion
did not drill this morning, and instead.
company drill was held. There is
friendly rivalry amongst the three bat
taons. but the first had the start on the
two others, and Colonel Keller has told
his boys that he wants them to be he
best in the regiment so it is needless to
say that they will try and carry out his
request
Major Scruggs and Captain Grmsley
have taken great pains with the Second
and Third battalons, and they are drill
ing well, but both officers are handicap
ped by the need Of guns for several OF
the companies.
The report that the men would be paid
last week vanished like the mist The
paymaster has yet to put in an appear

down, the referee separated the msn,
giving. the match to Lewis because You
souff. as the referee said. was strangling
him. There was much bowling and yell
ing from the disappointed crowd. George
COnsidne, the backer of Lewis, an
nounced that he did not think the hold
was a strangle. Lewis agreed to take
the winners end of the purse, $2,25o. and
continue the match. with G. o. Duplessis
as referee, but Referee Hogan refused 10
allow it, and was finally escorted from
the ring by the police.
The men went on the mat again for
the exhibition match at 1910 O'clock and
within four minutes Yousouff secured the
same hold that brought forth the first
decision. Duplessis tapped him on the
back. and he quit reluctantly The fall
was awarded TO Lewis on the foul.
At the end of the fiftt en-minutes' inter-
val provided for by the articles the
match was resumed. Yousoufr secured a
strangle hold, and Lewis gave up i'm six
and one-half minutes. After another
fifteen minutes the bout was continued.

Speaking Of the march from Banes,
where he went 20 receive the munitions of

Then General Garcia asked Admiral
Sampson. who sat beside him. what had
happened 10 the other Spanish ships, the
Peayo and the rest. and opened his eyes
wide. with a muttered exclamation OF
surprise, when he heard that Admiral
Camara was still az home.
