LAVIGNE WHIPS TRACY.
Was Given the Decision at the End of
the Twentieth Round.

San Francisco, November 25-George La
vigne gained the decision over Tom Tracy
tonight at the end of a twenty-round fight
at 142 pounds or under. The fighting was
clever and interesting throughout, but
lacked the excitement which usually ac-
companies a contest between two such ex-
ponents of pugilsm. Lavigne did decidedly
the main work, being aggressive in every
round, forcing Tracy about the ring and
compelling him to use all his cleverness and
stiffness of foot to avoid the little cham
pion's rushes.
Tracy did not seem to be at all chagrined
over the adverse decision. ard took it all
good naturedly.
Six thousand people witnessed the MILL
Time was called at 1924. The men fddled
for some time, Lavigne forcing Tracey
about the ring. Lavigne led first and
reached the neck with left. He tried sew
eral hard lefts for the face, all OF which
were blocked, Tracey couptering with a
couple Of good body punches and left jab

Senor Bacardi Appointed to Suc-
ceed Him in Santiago.
HIS FIRST OFFICIAL ACT
His Office and to Employ Cubans
Who Served in the War in
Their Stead.

Santiago de Cuba, November 25.-Some
time ago Major McLeary, whom General
Leonard Wood had appointed mayor of
Santiago, requested to be relieved of his
mayoralty duties and to return to his mil
itary post. This request was granted to-
day. General Wood appointed Senior Ba-
cardi, an old resident, to succeed him. He
is as anxious to give the mayor as much
authority as is compatible with military
jurisdiction. The new mayor will conform
to General Woods ideas. which are to give
the Cubans every opportunity to show
themselves capable of self-government.
The first official act of Mayor Bacardi
was to discharge the entire clerical force
in the mayors office and to employ Cubans
who had served in the war. He will shortly
issue manifesto to the effect that he in
tends encouraging the city's development
and giving employment as far as condi-
tions will permit to worthy persons He will
promise to look closely to the general in
terests of the community and will call upon
all Cubans to obey the law and thus TO
promote the prosperity of the country and
to insure the happiness of the people.
General Wood has high hopes of this first
attempt at civil government under Cuban
control.
The regulation preventing the foreclosure
of small mortgages, recently issued, has
proved a great boon to those for whose re-
lief it was intended.
General Wood has given his approval to
scheme for a school for the higher edu-
cation of women similar to the American
normal school.
Today he issued a notice imposing a fine
of 1000 upon any person promoting bull
fight, and a fine of $50 upon any promoter
of cock fight. In the case of a cock fight
the fine will fall upon witnesses as we'll as
promoters.
The rural police have been instructed to
keep a special lookout along the telegraph
line between santiago and San Luis, as the
peasant farmers are still cutting the wire
and using it to bale hay and cope stone.
The civil administration of the province
Is now virtually complete. The appoint
ment of supreme court judges will be made
tomorrow, and as the local bar association
has put forward several names, General
Wood will probably select from among
these men.

which left Its marl on Lavlgne,s eve.

which left Its mark on Lavigne's eye.
In the second Lavigne kept after his man,
but the shifty Australian kept out of his
reach. Lavigne led for the body. Tracey
came in hard on the stomach.
In the third Tracey sent in a couple of
1abs on the face, which only served to
make Lavigne laugh and come back with a
rush. No effective work was done.
In the fourth Tracey's wonderful foot
work kept him beyond the reach of most of
Lavigne's chops and left swings, while
Toms left which his superior reach enabled
him to land.
Fifth Round-Tracy jabbed left hand on
stomach, but George countered with right
on head. Lavigne swung hard left on the
body which made Tracy vince. Tracy
seemed tired from his continued avoidance
of Lavigne's rushes
The sixth and seventh rounds were repe-
titions of those preceding, Lavigne rushing
and leading frequently with left ON body
and head nearly all of which Tracy avoided
or succeeded iii breaking their force.
The eighth and ninth rounds were slightly
in favor of Lavigne who continued his
cnopping and swinging blows. Tracy con-
tented himself with countering left on
Georges face and neck.
Tracy stood his ground better in the
tenth and paid the Kid back In kind. Up
to this stage the fight was an even thing.
The eleventh round was Lavignes. He
sent in terrific left on the stomach which
caused Tracy's ever present smile to dis
appear. Lavlgne mad the advantage at this
Point of the fight.
Twelfth and thirteenth rounds were
Lavignes by a shade, though no real, ef-
fectIve work was done.
The fourteenth and fifteenth rounds were
the Kids, although Tracey made several
determined stands, standing off Georges
rushes, but always getting little the worst
of the mix. Tracey tried several times to
reach Lavigne's jaw, but failed.
Lavigne held his lead with a little more
added during the 16th 18th and 18th rounds,
landing rights on Traeey's body with per-
ceptible distress to the latter Tracey
seemed the weaker OF the two and resorted
to purely defensive tactics.
In the nineteenth round Tracey started
in to force matters and kept Lavigne guess
ing for time. He jabbed Georges mouth
hard several times, but Lavigne responded
with swings for the body. The men fought
carefully in the twentieth and last round
neither taking chances.
Referee Mcdonald promptly gave the de-
cision to Lavigne, which was satisfactory
to the crowd.

To Try the Colonel by COurtmartial
Brings Forth Howl Of Protest.
PETITION AGAINST THE ACTION
Leading Politicians, Authors and Jour-
nalists Endeavoring to Prevent
Secret Hearing Impossible
to Condemn Him.

Paris, November 25.-The Picquart case
seems in the way of raising even a greater
storm than the Dreyfus affair The papers
favorable to the general staff are dumb in
the face of barefaced decision of the mill
tary governor of Paris, General Zurlinden,
to try Colonel Picquart by courtmartial,
while those favoring revision are furious at
this new attempt to defeat justice and
protest against the courtmartial being
ordered.
Nobody believes that Colonel Picuart is
guilty of any Cr4nle except courageous
desire to render justice to Dreyfus, but on
all sides it is recognized that if he is given
a secret trial he may be condemned on some
technicality, thus attaining the apparent
object which is to throw doubt upon his
the Dreyfus trial.
Every one is asking the motive of Cen
eral Zurlinden in so persistently pursuing
Colonel Picquart ana why a courtmartial,
If necessary, could not be postponed until
the decision of the court of cessation has
been given. Every one is asking whether
it is a desperate attempt to shield the
former minister of war, General Mercier,
and the general staff. even at the risk of
precipitating disaster and the nation
hatred and in any event of driving the
doubters into the Dreyfusite party.
Protest Against the Action
A protest against the court martial of
Picquart, bearing the signatures of lead
ing authors, politicians and journalists, is
being widely circulated for further names
and VIII be presented to the government
This evening it is reported that NJ. De-
Freycinet, minister of war, has consented
to be interpellated on the subject in the
chamber of deputies next Monday, when a
sensational scene may be expected.
Another feature OF the ease is the torrent
of hostile criticism now pouEed upon NJ.
DeFreycinet, who is accused of quailing be-
fore Gen. Zurlindon and the general staff.
Maitre Labori, Col. Picquarts counsel,
says he is convinced it will be impossible
to condemn Picquart on the charge of for
gerry but that the accused officer may pos
sibly be condemned ON the charge of COM
muncating secret documents, although
their communication was in no way in
i'm cal to the interests of the state.
Col. Plcquart continued his evidence be-
fore the court OF cassatlon throughout the
whole day, and his deposition is expected
to occupy several days more. There is
still some hope that he may receive justice,
OWING to the presence on the court martial
of Col. Bonnal, who is a great friend of
Picquart, but M. Clemenceau, in Aurore
declares that the court martial is packed,
and accuses M. DeFreycinet of allowing an
innocent man to be victimized in order to
increase his own chances at the next pres-
Dental election.

sHAFTER PRINCIPAL GUEST.
Banquet Given at Delmonico's by the
Sons of the Revolution.

New York, November 25.-General Shafter
was the principal guest tonight at a BAN
quet given at Delmonico's by the Sons Of
the Revolution of New York In the course
of speech he said:
Il wish to say something about the late
war, about the success in Cuba. AT San
tiago there was no rancor or enmity be-
tween the Spanish and American forces.
Il suppose, continued General Shafter
that you all know how the campaign has
been bitterly criticised. / want to tell you
that it is much easier for a man to say
how thing should be done than to do it,
War was declared in April at the beginning
of the sickly season in Cuba. 1t was the
expressed intent of the president, and he
told me so himself, to delay the war until
after that season, no matter what the pub
lie clamor was. He said it was the presi-
dents intention after receiving word that
the Spanish fleet had entered Santiago har-
bor to send force of not less than 10000
men in accordance with Admiral Samp-
sons request to force the Spanish fleet
from the harbor and take the city. Then
the general said that instead of embarking
10000 men he had to take 1900 in trans
ports that were not fitted for the purpose
"Our ships were unsuited for the busi-
ness" he continued. however. 1 took what
/ could get, intending to do the best /
could with them 1t would not have done
any good to have done otherwise.
x knew We would nave some sickness,
and I determined to make a sharp and
forced march straight to Santiago. I had
2O,125 men, all of the light artillery and all
of the available cavalry. OF course we
could not carry comfortable homes with
u.s. Every man had three days rations. All
the generals except Gen. Wheeler went on
foot with their haversacks and rations like
prlvates."
Gen. Shafter then described the various
marches and the method of the Spaniards
In fighting, and continued:
II knew that the surrender of Santiago
was only question of few days. I was
told by the British consul afterward that
the town was ours when we arrived at the
brow of the hill. There was much clamor
for me to assault the town. I had to ex-
ercse the greatest effort to Withstand IT."
In speaking of the sufferings of the men,
he saiu.
We had lots of suffering, will admit
There is aways suffering In war. ThSye
was not moment when could have pre-
vented 1t that any man suffered unnecessa-
siiy. Out Of the 1 SOC wounded but thirteen
died. as was informed in July. That is a
small percentage. have never heard
complaint from any officer or man of the
regular army ~

Orders have been issued by General Frank
that no passes will be granted except for
good reasons and fewer men will be allow
ed in town at one time in the future than

Sentinels around the various camps have

BERING SEA QUESTION
Again Taken Up by the eAnglo-American
Commission at Washington

Washington, November 25.-The Berinz
sea question was again taken up by the
Anglo-American commission today, and
such progress was made with the hearing
of the experts that 1t is expected this
branch of the subject will be out of the way
today. The examination of Captain Thayer,
the American expert who appraised the
Canadian fleet of sealers, proceeded through
the morning, and Captain Cox. the Cana
dian, who more particularly represents the
sealers, will be examined and cross-exam-
ined this afternoon. This with the testi-
mony of Captain Taylor, the Canadian ap-
praiser heretofore heard, places the conn
mission In possession of every shade of
opinion as to the value of the sealing feet.
and 1t remains now only to reconcile the
difference between the American and the
Canadian experts.
Tomorrow the commissioners go to Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, as the guests of Senator
Faulkner.
