The boys are booked to fight ten rounds and the members of the Re- nance Club can safely count upon seeing one Of the best little scraps that has ever taken place in their gymnasium. The fis- tic appetizer will consist of an eight round bout between Tank Savage and Jimmy Riley.
 As the contest between Kid Parker and Fred Muller, which took place in Oakland recently, did not have Satisfactory end ing owing. 1t is said, to the rank decision given by Referee Elmer, it is probable that the Olympic Club of this city will offer the fighters inducements to box eight rounds as preliminary to the Jack son and Jefries fight, which will take place next month.
 Tommy Ryan is a clever boxer and can- not understand how any man who pre- tends to know anything about the game can forget himself so far as to use his head as means of self-defenSe. Last Saturday, when Ryan was boxing with Baker, the last named puglist bumped his gloveless skull into Ryan's mouth, shat ter1ng two Of Ryan's teeth, which were extracted on Sunday. The welter-weight now talks with a lisp, but he says that the loss of the molars, although disfigur- ing his mouth somewhat when he yawns, does not prevent him from the enjoyment that accrues from porterhouse steak when properly masticated.

CLOSED THE
 TRACK OFFICE.
The Western Union Company Has Withdrawn the Ingleside
 Service

The Western Union Telegraph Company has closed its office at the Ingleside track The managers of the track wanted the company to discriminate in the serv- ice given, and the telegraph officials promptly refused to do so. The fact that the track officials wanted to prevent any news being sent out from there has caused many expressions of dissatisfac- tion. There was no good reason ad- vanced why, If everything was conducted fairly. the news should not be sent out after each race. The track people wanted to shut off all service except to the East, and the telegraph company refused to en- ter into any such agreement The West ern Union took the stand that it could not discriminate between race service and private messages. The company was per fectly willing to man an office at Ingle- side track so long as it could transmit all the business offered. When 1t was suggested that the company only handle Eastern service and not the local the company decided to retire, in justice to all concerned.

MESSENGERS CALL ON MRS. STANFORD Bows Feast and Make Merry at the Big House on the
 Hill. Each Was Presented With a Bible and Box of Candy for
 Souvenirs.

Mrs Stanford was "at home" to the messenger boys at her Californ1a-street house yesterday afternoon, between the hours of and 5. It was not formal function There was no elaborate decor ation or any of those accessories that characterize the functions at which the great preside.
 If was a simple affair, but there was that delightful bond of fellowship and hospitality that only the closest sympathy between hostess and guests can inspire
 The messengers of the four companies the Pacific Union, Western Telegraph, Postal Telegraph and San Francisco came in squads of seventy-five and spent as much time as their labors permitted with the lady who sought to interest ana amuse them.
 and were so anxious to put only the best foot forward that their enjoyment was of a subdued kind They only spoke in whispers and manifested tneir oengnt in the broadest of broad grins. As soon as the boys arrived at the big house on the hill they were ushered into the ball room, where a feast had been prepared for them. After partaking or all the good things, they made their way to the draw ing room where they were received by Mrs. Stanford, who thereupon took them in charge and showed them all the works of art and many valuable cur1os With which the place abounds.
 On leaving each boy was presented with a neatly bound Bible and box of candy as souvenirs of the happy occasion. The boys had arranged it so that all the en- tertaining should not be on one side, and they entertained their hostess by rousing choruses and happy solos.
 Little Willie Adams, with unusual fore thought, brought with him stiff little bouquet of violets and pansies. which he presented Mrs. Stanford in neat speech. At departure the boys gave three hearty cheers for the kind hostess.

 The Olympic Club has not entered an objection to Jeffries fighting before he fulflls his engagement with Peter Jack son. as the Olympics are on very friendly terms with the Los Angeles Athletic Club.
 A contest which should attract consid- erable attention will be held this even- ing at the Reliance Athletic Club in Oak land between Marty McCue and Jimmy Lawlor.

The general assault upon the city of
Santiago by the American forces under
Sampson and Shafter was commenced on
Friday, the land and sea forces working
successfully in unison. So -. -. ].
MORO castle and the other forts at the
entrance Of the harbor were bombarded
by the American fleet, the Y esuvius US
ing her dynamite shells with good effect.
The Spanish feet in the harbor fired
upon the American troops which were
very close to the city, and there was hard
fighting all along the line. s VI
Five hours after the battle commenced
the Spanish began to leave their en-
trenchments and retreat into the city.
The fighting however continued until
dark and the Americans succeeded IN
carrying the enemy's outworks and hold
ing them. IS
The loss on the American side was
heavy, some estimates placing it at 800
killed and wounded, while the Spanish
loss is unknown.
Friday evening the war department re-
ceived word from Shafter. Hesaid that
before the night was over he would be
in front of Santiago with an army great
~ strengthened by reinforcements.

A writer in the St. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat draws a comparison between Ad-
miral Sampson and other naval leaders
which is certainly just and correct. He
says: Dewey and Hobson are popular
idols, but the man who is winning the
greatest reputation with those who scrut-
inize and weigh most thoughtfully is Adj
miral Sampson.
''He has not made single mistake
since the war began" Capt. Alfred T.
Mahan, whose Judgment is of world
wide fame, says of him. r.. H.. Fl
Admiral Sampson has avoided the
brilliant and dashing feats which stir
the blood. He has accomplished ire
meudous results, but by steady, persev-
ering, cautious application. What COM
mands the respect of the experts is the
fact that the Admiral, when sure of the
presence of Cervera's fleet in Santiago
harbor, resisted the temptation TO- push
in there and complete the contest by q
desperate finish This would have cost
lives and property and one or moreAmeri-
can ships, but four out Of five command
ing officers would have tried it and been
glorifed for>their gallantry. The naval
experts who mcasure cost and results
say that Admiral Sampson did exactly
the right thing, and that it took more
moral courage than the other course
would have done. Making sure Of the
imprisonment otsthe Spanish fleet, the
American Admiral has proceeded with
the reduction Of the defenses, waiting for

The people do not talk so much of

government holds him is seen in the fact
that today he occupies the most respoa-
sible position ever given to one man in
the American navy. This Captain, act

This is the way the millionaire, Tom
L. johnson, of Ohio, tells the people
how he got his wealth: II" ~~--
"What the world needs is not charity,
: but justice. I shall refuse the same as
ever to issue checks for charitable insti-
buttons, and shall not bequeath money
for building churches and libraries. My
family shall be we'll provided for, but
the balance of my wealth shall serve to
teach the people how to. prevent me and
| others of my kind from robbing them.
AS long as a person is permitted by the
monopolization of natural resources and
private ownership of public utilities to
accumulate wealth that does Lot belong
to him, just so long will people of my
kind be willing to commit such theft.
1t is my task to open the eyes of the
people to the process whereby they fool
ishly permit themselves, to be robbed
and point out to them the way to abol:
ish system which enriches me and i'm
poverishes themselves"
From authentic sources we gather the
information that the railroad companies
own 21l,000,000 acres, enough to make
six states as large as Iowa. Vanderbilt
owns over 100000 acres; Mr.. Ditson of
Pennsylvania over 400,e00,0O0; the
Standard Oil company 100000, and
Murphy of California an area equal to
the state of Massachusetts,. The Schen-

Some Results.

Now that the conflict between the
Americans and Spaniards on Cuban soil
has actually commenced, it is interest
ing to speculate on the results. The
st, Louis Globe Democrat remarks in
this connection that on the experience
of the Americans in the Santiago cam
paign much will depend. The United
States will lear9 the strength and temper
of the insurgents. and will be able to es-
innate the aid, great or small, which they
will be able to render in completing the
work of driving the Spaniards out Of
the island. The greater the Cubans' num-
Der and fighting abilities are revealed to
be, the smaller will be the force of
Americans needed to finish the con-
quest of the island, and the greater will
be the influence of the Cuban soldiers
over their compatriots when the business
of setting up civil government begins
ut the wars close. On these revelations
in large degree also will hang the ques-
ton of whether the government shall
make another call for troops, which is
believed to be in contemplation.
The greatest of all the questions, how
ever, lii immediate interest, which will
depend On the approaching battle is as to
the probable duration of the war. II
Santiago is quickly captured with only
comparatively slight loss to the Ameri-
cans, the peace movement in Spain, which
is already revealing itself, will quickly
reach large dimensions. SPANS cabinet,
it is SAID, will repudiate any peace con.
ditions except those which .'include the
retention of the colonies" but the Amer
lean victory at Santiago will probably
put the cabinet in more complaisant
mood. Perhaps it will overthrow the
cabinet and make the dynasty's tenure
of power shaky. Recently the Spanish
populace have been quiet, but this is be-
cause the bombardment of Cuban ports
and the failure to capture them on &C.
count of the absence of land force have
given Blanco and the government in
Spain chances to claim Spanish victories
When the news reaches Madrid Of the
capture Of Santiago, including Cervers
and his feet and the Spanish army al
that point, cencealment and classification
by the Spanish cabinet will no longer b
possible, and then the revolutionary ele
ments, which have only been awaiting
Spanish reverse to give them q chance L
assert themselves, may be heard from
