SHARkEY'S FOUL FIGHTING.
His Battle With Choynski Deciared m
Draw.

Seven thousand persons saw the Choyn-
ski-Sharkey fight at San Francisco last
night. The betting just before the fight
was even. George Green was made referee
Sharkey's lighting was very foul. He re-
peatedly fouled his opponent, but Referee
Green did not interfere.
He again commenced his foul tactics in
the seventh round and rushed Joe pushing
him against the ropes and striking him.
Referee Green was powerless to stop him.
Choynski jabbed Sharkey time and again
without return. but Tom waited until he
got him against the ropes and then sent i'm
a wild swing for the body. Choynski want
TO MS knees, more from the force of the
rush than the effect of the blow.
Sharkey landed left swing on the neck,
but received a nasty crack on the law in
return. Joe then jabbed him again and
again in the face with his left, but his
blows seemed weak. A left upper swing
connected with the sailors jaw. Then
Sharkey rushed Choynski through the ropes
falling on the platform himself
The crowd YVES so thoroughly disguised
at this performance that the referee sent
the men to their corners and declared the
fight a draw. Sharkey's attitude as he
rushed across the ring toward Green was
so threatening that the police flooded the
roped arena and escorted him out of 1t.
much to his chagrin Indeed, he wept from
sheer disappointment.

herty, an ornithologiSt and entomolo-
gist, who, in the interest of science,
has traversed the four quarters of the
globe and has gained a reputation as
far-reaching as his travels, has just
returned to his home here from the
Philippine Islands via Hongkong and
San Francisco. His latest distinction
was in successfully passing the Span
ish customs officers at Manila with
complete plans of the city, the har-
Dor, the Notifications and minute de-
tails of their armament, from Consul
General Williams to Admiral George
Dewey. 1t was a dangerous proceeding,
but Mr.. Doherty carried it to a success
full accomplishment. The plans and
drawing were concealed in a newly
laundered shirt, which was folded,
pinned up and branded in the usual
way and put with other clothing in
his trunk Arriving at Hongkong early
in April, he delivered the supremely i'm
portant papers to Admiral Dewey on
the Olympia.
He is a modest gentleman, and de-
precates notoriety and therefore has
little to say on the subject except TO
state the bare facts.

GEN. MERRITT's REQUEST.
Presented at the War Department
by Inspector-GeneraI Hughes.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Colonel r.
P. Hughes, Inspector General, with
headquarters at New York City, was
at the War Department to-day on
mission from General Merritt in con-
nection with the assignment of regular
troops to accompany the Philippine ex-
pedition soon to start from San Fran
cisco.
General Merritt's preference for a
larger number of regulars than it was
proposed by the department to give
him, has been known here for some
time, and his views on that subject are
shared by many of the army officials.
They realize that General Merritt will
have delicate and important duty to
perform as Military Governor of the
Philippines, and they agree in express
ing the opinion that the General should
have an adequate and we'll disciplined
force at his command to maintain order
in city that will be filled with dis
cordant elements. There are not enough
regulars in the West to furnish the
number that General Merritt thinks
should be sent on the expedition, and,
consequently, Secretary Alger and the
department officials have been consid
ering the advisability of withdrawing
about three of the infantry regiments
from Tampa, where q large number
are rendezvoused and dispatching them
post haste to the Pacific Coast. These
men are we'll seasoned and thoroughly
disciplined, and are just the kind Cen
eral Merritt believes should be sent on
the transpacific trip.
Captain Jesse NJ. Lee, United States
infantry, who has been stationed at
Tampa recently, reported at army
headquarters to-day in response to tel
egraphic instructions, and it may be
he is here with reference to the send
Philippines General Greeley, Chief
Signal Officer is making arrangements
to send detachment of six officers and
fifty-five men, made up largely of tele-
graph operators and electricians to ac-
company the Philippine expedition.
GENERAL MERRITT INCORRECT
LY REPORTED.
WASHINGTON May 17-Secretary
Alger this afternoon received the fol-
lowing telegram from General Merritt:
Governors Island, New York.-Hon
R. A. Alger, Secretary of War, Wash
ington: l desire you to know that in
terviews published in the New York
papers this morning are in every way
incorrect and unauthorized. l had in
tended to take no notice of them, but

CENSORSHIP ON PRESS.
Intimation That the Cabinet May
Consider Such a Proceeding.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Cabi-
net session to-day lasted until about
1870 o'clock. Secretary Long came
late and left half hour before the
others. Secretary Day also left early
The members as they left the White
House were unusually reticent, even as
to minor matters, and explained that
the Administration was greatly ham
pered in its work by indiscreet publica-
tfon of news as TO naval and army
movements.
Secretary Long said that although the
matter of rigid censorship on the press
was not discussed at to-day's Cabinet
meeting, the action OF certain news
papers in publishing movements and
campaigning plans was causing great
embarrassment The published inter
view with General Merritt at New York
in the course of which he is reported as
having expressed his unwillingness to
take the command at the Philippine
Islands without the Government gave
him more than $4,000 volunteer troops,
and complaining that such command
was inadequate to his rank, is likely to
be the subject of an inquiry by the
Government as to whether he was cor
rectly reported. a member of the Cab
met said after the meeting that he had
no doubt that the matter would receive
official attention.
Nothing was said at the meeting as to
the reported purpose of the President
to issue a call for additional volunteers
nor was the subject of sending more
troops to the Philippines than the 1000
already decided upon by the President
The Government is now in constant
communication with Admiral Dewey
and his judgment as to the troops ne
cessary to accomplish the subjugation
of the islands will be followed
So far as can be learned no important
information has been received as to the
movements of the Spanish fleet, nor can
it be learned whether a conflict between
the fleets is likely to take place within
the next day or two.
It was stated at the White House al
! o'clock, as the Cabinet assembled
in the situation, and Senators and Rep
resentatives who called to discuss the
situation were shown no official dis
patches.
A delegation of prominent negroes
consisting of Governor Pinchback, Col
onel James Lewis and Captain Judson
| w. Lyons, called on the Secretary Of
| War to-day and urged that all of the
ten regiments of immunes to be sent
! to Cuba be made up of colored men
They pointed out the especial service
the colored troops, bred in the South
ern climate, and most of them used tc
conditions similar to those to be con-
| fronted in Cuba, would have in the
| campaign. Secretary Alger was not
able to concede all the immune regi-
ments to colored volunteers, but gave
| assurance that several of them would
| be composed of men of their race. The
| delegation also urged the appointment
of Captain Thomas S. Kelly of Louisi-
ana as a Colonel of one of the immune
regiments. Captain Kelly, it is said
| has the Endorsement of General Miles.
