HEAVYWEIGHT PUGILISTS. Nick Burley. Will Fight Jack Stelzner Before the Sacramento Athletic
 T1uh

As a return match between Jack Stelz- ner and Joe Kennedy is now doubtful, be- cause of Kennedy's proposed contest with Jeffries, next month, Nick Burly, who has just returned from Roslin, after having fought a ten-round bout with an Austra- lian pugilist named 'Coolgardie" Smith, states that he will take Kennedy's place and fight Stelzner before the Sacramento Club or any other club any distance from ten to twenty rounds. Burley whipped several fighters during the summer in British Columbia.

Raleigh, y. c., September 1s.-On
Saturday night a party Of soldiers Of
the Second North Carolina volunteers
were attacked by negroes and two Of
the negroes injured. On Sunday af-
ternoon a pitched fight took place be-
tween fifteen soldiers and about 80
negroes. No one was seriously hurt,
though fifty Or sixty shots were ex-
changed. Feeling has been high be-
tween h negroes and the soldiers
since, the negroes making threats
freely. Shortly after II o'clock this
morning a white man was walking
quietly through the colored quarter
when negroes fired from ambush.
without warning or ~provocation,
wounding him in the leg. A detail of
soldiers and police went to the scene,
but the criminals had fed. No one has
been apprehended. There is great in
dignation at the outrage and further
trouble is expected.

SURRENDERED HIMSELF
Colored Mar Indicted some Time Age
For Receiving Stolen Goods Gave
Himself up To the Police Yesterday.

Ever since the latter part OF last
month there has been a warrant out
for Robert w. Nixon, colored. The
charge was that of receiving stolen
goods. and the police searched vainly
for him.
Yesterday morning Nixon walked In
the city hall and surrendered himself.
AT noon he was tried and placed under
a 500 justified bond for his appearance
at the next term OF the criminal court.
He furnished the bone and vas re-
leased.
The charge against Nixon implicated
him in the wholesale robbery OF pro-
visions from Mesrs. McNair & Pearsall.
The robbery too place last month and
a white man and three negroes were
arrested for being concerned in il. The
white man was an employe Of the firm.
Different portions of the stolen goods
were found at several OF the stores
around town. Quite an amount was
disclosed at the store of Nixon, on
Nixon street. between Sixth and Sew
enth. a warrant vas sworn out for
Nixon, but he did the grand disappear
ing act and remained hidden until yes

Rescued From the Surf.

There came very hear being a drown
ing accident at Wrightsville Beach on
Sunday afternoon, opposite the Ocean
View Hotel. About a dozen gentlemen
were in bathing and there was a vi
cious surf on with a very strong cur
rent running u to sea. Several of the
party crossed over the slough mo went
on the outer reef to enjoy the fine
breakers that were leaping one after
the other out there. 1t was easy work
going out with the current, but awful
work TO get back.
When the gentlemen found that the
current was dangerous they started TO
swim back, but one of them, Captain
J. Watson, of the British steamship
Hawkhurst, caught the cramp in his
left leg and became a helpless victim
to the pounding breakers. In his pow
erless condition and realizing that the
current was taking him out to sea, he
called for help.
Immediately all the other gentlemen
who were then out Of danger, put back
to Captain WatSon'S rescue. Some
swan to the reef to assist him while
others formed a chain by joining hands
n thus extended themselves across
the deep slough and out to the reef
where Captain Watson and the others
hooked on to the procession and were
hauled in.
When Captain Watson was gotten to
the beach he was very much exhausted
and suffered great pain in his leg. The
cramp then shot up into both arms and
had this occurred while he was on the
reef it would have been impossible for
him to have kept his head above wa
ter. AS it was, he swallowed enough
salt water to last him a life time.
The rescue was very prompt and was
done tho excitement, but with de-
termination. Some of the gentlemen
who stood in the slough were in wa
ter up to their chins, and with both
hands held firmly by the other men
in the chain they also got their fill of
salt water as the surf curled over
them. There was also a tremendous
current sweeping out to sea, and
it was all that the chain could do to
make the pull in oward the beach af-
ter Captain Watson lad been secured.
If the line had been parted at the
slough several of the gentlemen would
have also been left at the mercy OF the
current and would have had a hard
time to save themselves. There was
not a man in the surf, however, that
did not go straight to the rescue. Mr.,
Walter Daggett did a specially heroic
act in first swimming out to Captain
Watson to assist him till the Others
could reach him.
Captain Watson, approaching the aid
extended to him, publishes a card in
this mornings Messenger thanking
them for the rescue. We have an idea
that the old man has something in his
head for h boys.

60 for COn6scating Cattle RevOked-A
Hitch Between British and Turkish
Officers in Crete.
Madrid, September 1.-the minister
of war;, General Correa, has issued in
structions for the return of the Span
ish troops in the West Indies. The
sick are to leave first, and the archives,
especially those relating to the war,
will be brought to Spain with the arms,
ammunition, flags and material stored
in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The minister is greatly incensed at
General Toral for having sent him a
dispatch ON the latter's arrival at
Vigo, (Spain,) from Santiago de Cuba,
and said Toral ought to be court-mar-
tailed for his conduct as governor Of
Santiago.
There is much Indignation here at
the factt hat there were 1913 death dur
ing the voyage among the 1000 Span
ish on transport San Ignacio de Loyola,
from Santiago de Cuba. The Span
iards attribute this heavy death rate
to the "inhumanity Of the Americans
in obliging the sick Spaniards to en-
bark and make in the hospitals
for the Americans"
Havana, September 19.-All the
members Of the American evacuation
commission came ashore from the
steamer Resolute this morning and are
now installed at the Trocha hotel at
Vedado. All are well. Major Allison
sprained his ankle; but the injury is
not important.
Rear Admiral Luis Pastor LanderO,
captain of the port, who was original
ly elected a member of the Spanish
evacuation commission, has, owing to
sickness, been replaced by Admiral
Manterola, and will sail for Spain to-
morrow, owing to his i'll health.
Captain General Blanco has ordered
that the confiscation of the few cattle
remaining in the island shall be sus-
pended in the Matanzas province,
where it threatened to become a death
blow to all possible work in the fields.
The necessity that similar steps be
taken Ill fludI ucl DlO duu OIuCl
inces is imperative, the crops having
beer ruined Or the work of gathering
them delayed through lack of oxen.

for Spain tomorrow, will carry 291
boxes of documents of the military
archives. She will also have on board
