troubles that had come upon him at
this time. The defendant, ,he also in

PETER MAYER
 WHIPS GODDARD The Australian Was Saved by the Bell on Two Decisions. FINALLY GAVE UP THE FIGHT Was Unable to Defend Himself, and Held His Head Down with His Arms Cross
 ed in Front of His
 Face.
FINALLY GAVE UP THE FIGHT

New York; July S.-Peter Maher defeated Joe Goddard in eight rounds tonight at the Lenox Athletic club. They had been sched- uled to fight twenty-1ve rounds with five ounce gloves. Goddard had defeated Mahe1 on two previous occasions and was the fa- vor1te among the sporting element God dard was out a couple of times, but the bell saved him, and when he quit towards the end of the eighth round he was hardly able to stand on his feet. At the same time the fast work which both had gone through from the beginning had told on Maher and he was unable to land a blow heavy enough to finish the Australian.
 In the first round, after a lively exchange, Maher hooked his right to the head and put Joe to the floor Goddard's nose was bleed- ing when the gong sounded. In the second, Goddards defense was bad, and Maher got att him frequently, but did no material damage. After some rough in-fghtlng in the third, Goddard went down again from a left swing on the face. When he got up Mailer sent him down again. At the close of the fourth, Goddard got in a couple of lefts on the head that staggered Maher
 Round five saw Goddard again on the floor and he stayed down nine seconds. Maher repeated the performance when Joe got on his feet and the latter again took a nine seconds rest before rising. The next two rounds were full of hard hitting on both sides, but in the eighth Maher brought his man to his knees. The final round started lively, Goddard trying to reach Maher effectively, but Peter landed repeat edly on head and face.
 Goddard was unable to defend himself and held his head down with arms crossed in front of his face. Maher went at him, but could not land knockout blow. God dard backed away and stretched out his hand, saying as he did so: ''This is more than nature can stand,' as he shook Nah CTS hand.
 The referee then awarded the bout to Maher.
 Time of round, two minutes and fifty-fve seconds.

LIEUTENANT WENDELL c. NEVILLE. Escaped Spaniards at Camp McCala

The most disturbing circumstance of the war up to date occurred at Camp Me- Calla, when troop of Spanish guerrillas swooped down upon our soldiers and took several captive. Many were in bathing at the time and unprepared to offer defense
 After the attack, in which the guerrillas were driven back, Lieutenant Wendell c. Neville, one of the most popular officers in the camp, was reported missing. He had been taken away by the Spaniards. Great was the consternation in camp, but little could be done, as he had probably been carried into the interior

He entered the corps in July, 1892, and after making cruises on the Cincinnati and the Texas, he was assigned in March, 1897, to duty at the New York navy yard.
