PRIZE FIGHT SECONDS.
Arrested at Hot Springs, Tried and
Acquitted

Hot Springs, Ark, March Billy
Layton and Jack Grace. seconds foE
Kid Mccoy and Nick Burley, were ar
rested mere today on warrants issued
at the instance of Sheriff Houpt, charg-
ing them with aiding and abetting a
prize fight They were tried this af-
ternoon before Justice Afford by jury.
A large number OF witnesses were eX-
amined. The purpose of the prosecu-
ton was to first show that a prize hight
had taken place, and then TO connect
Layton and Grace.
The proof was that a glove contest
such as had been frequently pulled off
here without interferences from the
authorities had taken place. The state
failed completely to make evident a
case and a verdict of acquittal was
promptly returned by the jury. War
rants are also out for Mccoy and Bur-
ley, but It is not probable they will be
served, since they both left the city
last night.

NAVAL MOVEMENTS.
Ships For C1ban Relief-olympia at
Hong Kong.


WASH ngton. March st is asserted
positively at the state department that
there has been no change in the plans
for sending the Montgomery and the
Nashville to eastern Cuba ports with
relief supplies for the recOncentrados-
It had been suggested that the offer of
10 take some of these goods to cuba
would relieve the naval vessels from
the performance of this onerOus task,
but the declaration from the state de-
partment ensures the execution of the
original programme and the ships
named will sail for MatanZas and
Sagua la Grande as soon as the gods
arrive at Key West from New York.
Reports that have come to the state
department from these places show
that terrible restitution exists, piob-
ably nowhere exceeded on the island
and the officers of the Montgomery saw
for themselves on their recent stop at
Matanzas the extent of the misery. It
is said by some of the correspondents
of these officers that they an returned
penniless from their Cuban cruise, hav-
ing been so moved by what they saw
that they gave away all of their ready
cash.
1t was decided this afternoon to aban-
don the projected order to the flagship
Olympia to return TO San Francisco
from Hong Kong. Without this fine
ship the Asiatc squadron would be
made up of gunboats and unprotected
cruisers. without any great degree of
defensive and no offensive force against
armored ships. The cruiser Baltimore,
row at Honolulu. has been selected to
take the powder to be brought to that
port by the Mohican further along to
Hong Kong for the vessels of the Ash
attic squadron.
= Whether or not the ship will be at
tached to the squadron permanently
has net yet been determined.
The torpedo boat Winslow. which has
been under repairs at the Norfolk navy
yard, sailed today from Key West to
join the flotiIla.
According to an official of the con-
structiGn bureau of the navy it will
be some time before the Charleston,
Yorktown and Philadelphia, now at
the Mare Island yard. are again ready
Ter sea service unless extraordinary
are taken to hurry the work
on them. The Yorktown and Philadel-
phia- 1t is suggested, might be pre-
pared again for sea service in a very
short time if they are put in commits
SION, but If the latter step is resOrted
to they will require from six TO nine
months to put them in shape.
The navy department is somewhat
by the lack of seamen nee
essary to fill the complement of ships
in service or about to go into
commission, and in view of the short
age the officials in charge of the re-
cruiting stations at League Island, Nor
folk. and New York have been in

be available and not confine themselves

FIVE MILES AGAINST TIME.
Welsh Rarebit's Race Over the St
Louis Course

st. Louis, March 5.-The initial ap-
pearance of Jimmy Michael. the
Welsh rarebit." in st. Louis packed
the Coliseum tonight. In his fivemile
race against time he was paced by
tandems, and at times it seemed APP
parent he would forge ahead of his
PAGERS. He made the five miles in 1914
and left the track apparently as fresh
as before the race.
Jay Eaton won the final heat in the
mile open, professional race; Al New
house second. Time-2:04 10.
The match race between Jay Eaton
and Charles Mccarthy was of es-
pecial interest. Mccarthy won in
straight heats. He won the first heat
easily in 1;5S and the second heat by
half a wheel in 1853.
The last race was the consolation.
Bob Walthour won. Time-2:16.
Michael will go south. probably to
Hot Springs, where he viii go in train

FEARS FOR a MAINE wREcxER.
On the Way to Havana Severe Gales
Were Encountered.

Norfolk, Va, March 5.-Nothing has
been heard here of the tug Under
writer, which left this port Thursday
for Havana. towing the derrick Chief.
The sole reason for fear on her account
countered the terrible Thursday night
and Friday morning gale off Hatteras.
However the fact that no news of her
or tow has been given by any life
saving crew between Capes Henry and
Hatteras, is given as sign that the
tug outrode the gale. The impression
at the Merritt Wrecdng company's Of
fee here is that she has. of course, had
a rough trip, but will show up at Key
West safe enough. She has not had
time, under normal conditions, to make
this port.

Havana, March 5.-The Spanish first

The Almirante Oqendo made a fine
appearance as she returned the salute
from Fort Cubanis and then saluted

Lazas is in command of the Almirante

The papers here say the newly arrived
vessel is of the same class as the Viz

OquendO as was followed out when the

Spanish authority in Cuba is
strengthened a little against attacks
from within by the presence of war
ships. They gave Captain General
Blaneo a means OF depressing internal

BIT while Blanco is measurably re-

insurgents showing a willingness to
yield any of the advantage they have

GIGANTIC GRANT.
That to Mercier Covers a Dozen of
Klondike's Best Ri<srs.

New York, March 5.-La Presse, the
leading French Canadian daily here
severely criticises the grant in the
Klondike region recently made TO Mr..
MERCER, because he is to be permitted
to dredge $50 miles of rivers in the
Yukon district. According to La
Presse, the regulations say that no
grant to any one person or company
shall exceed 80 miles.
Mr. Merr;er's grant covers dozen
or more of the best rivers of the Klon-
dixie region. According to the official
report prepared by William Ogilyie,
La Presse places their minimum value
at S100,000,000. 1t says that the grant
is gigantic job and contends that
Mr.. MERCER can make a clear million
by disposing of his right to capitalists.
1t declares also that he has been
granted great privileges over the ordi-
nary miners.

Washington, March 5.-Chairman
Sherman of the Indian affairs commit
tee of the house has received from
| Secretary Bliss a communication, IN
which the latter takes strong ground
against the adoption by the house of
1.-THE free homes amendment TO the
Indian appropriation bill adopted by
/ the senate. The secretary thinks such
4 legislation will be inexpedient. as 1t
would be taxing the entire people for
/ the benefit of the few. The letter points
out that there are two classes of lands
which would be affected by the pro-
posed legislation. The first of these
are the lands held in trust by the gov
eminent for the Indians. TO be disposed
of for their benefit, for which direct
appropriation of approximately $4,000
600 would have to be made to reimburse
| the Indians. The second class are
those lands purchaser direct from the
Indians for specific sums, aggregating
$50, 100000 in round numbers. This
money was to be reimbursed TO the
United States by persons who settled
on the lands Probably half of this
land has been entered by settlers, upon
which there has been paid by them
less than 100000 The total loss,
therefore, to the government, which the
enactment of the free homes clause
would entail. would approximate $780,
000, 600.
EMBARRASS COLLEGES.
Secretary Bliss also shows that the
proposed legislation might embarrass
the agricultural colleges which re-
ceived a stated sum each year from
the proceeds of the disposal of public
lands within the boundaries of the
states in which they are located.
asks is on what principle of equity and
justice could the United States refuse
to return on coded Indian lands the
large amounts they have in good faith
paid into the treasury. 1t is also rep
resented that the proposed legislation
would affect several pending Indian
treaties, as the United States would
have to assume the payment of the
money demanded by the Indians for
the cession of their lands in the event
of the ratification of such agreements
by congress.
POSSIBLE EFFECT.
There are also a number of other In
dian reservations which, in the course
of time, might possibly be opened to
homestead settlement, and the policy
outlined in the proposed amendment
might. it is urged, if enacted into law,
place the United States under obliga-
tons to appropriate money sufficient to
pay the full value of lands that might
in the future be coded to the govern
ment.
