BONNER WINS HIS
FIGHT WITH CREED0N

NEW YORK, Sept. 12-'Jack" Bonner.
the middle-weight pugilist from Summit,
Pa, gained an easy victory over Dan
Creedon, the Australian boxer, in the Sec
ond round of their fight at the Greater
New York Athletic Club tonight. Cree
don was knocked down by a heavy right
hand punch on the jaw, and in falling he
twisted his right ankle. He was not
knocked out by any means, but the blow
he received was one to settle the boxing
aspirations of any man. He CROPPED
around and tried to regain his feet while
the referee was counting off the seconds
but his ankle was too badly injured for
him to stand up straight and he fell again
and was counted out. Had this not &C.
Cured the fight might have gone on for
many rounds.
The spectators were satisfied that Dan
was not taking. and left the house after
having been informed that the doctor who
attended the Australian had found the
ankle badly sprained.

Dismounted American cavalrymen
forced their way over the rough noun
tain trail Friday morning and encoun-
tered the Spanish infantry in a dense
thlcket on a high plateau almost over
looking the city of Santiago de Cuba,
and routed them after a sharp battle,
lasting two hours.
The fight will be known in history
as the battle of La Quasina.
That it did not end in the complete
slaughter of the Americans was not
due to any miscalculation in the plan
OF the Spaniards, for as perfect an am
buscade as ever formed in the brain of
an Apache Indian was prepared and
Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt and his men
walked squarely into it. For an hour
and half they held their ground I'M

the left led charge which turned the
tide OF battle and sent the enemy fy-
UNCOVER the hills toward Santiago.
1t is now definitely known that six.
teen men on the American side were
killed, while sixty were wounded, or
are reported to be missing. 1t is i'm
possible to calculate the Spanish los
Ses, but it is known that they were far
heavier than those of the Americans,
ut least as regards actual loss of life
Already thirty-seven dead Spanish
soldiers have been found and buried,
while many others undoubtedly ore w.
ing in the thick underbrush on the
side OF the gulley and on the slope of
the hill whore the main body Of the
enemy was located. The wounded
were all removed.
That the Spaniards were thoroughly
posted rs to the route to be taken by
the Americans in their movement to-
wards Sevilla was evident, as shown by
the careful preparations they had made

Dead Not Mutilated,

In response to telegram from the
navy department requesting definite
information concerning the alleged
mutllatlon of the bodies of the four
marines killed in the outpost of Guam
tanamo, Admiral Sampson has wired
Secretary Long as follows:
Playa del Este, June 24.-Reply-
ing to your dispatch, I have to report
that careful investigation has been
made, and it is reported to me that the
apparent mutilation was probably due
to the effect of small calibre bullets
fired at short range, and I withdraw
the charge of mutilation.

Clmara'S Snundron.

A special dispatch to London from
Algiers says the British steamer Hamp.
ton reports that she passed Admiral
Camara's squadron, including six
cruisers and twelve torpedo boats,
sailing at half speed to the eastward.
The ships showed no colors. The
cruisers were towing the torpedo boats.
A dispatch from Rome says: admiral
Camara's fleet had flags flying and
evidently desired to be seen. The
admiralty authorities here believe that
the fleet is incomplete. The battle
ship Pelayo was not seen, while there
were to transports, and it is therefore
supposed that the squadron cannot be
going to the Philippines"

TERRIBLE MURDER,
Washington City the Scene of q Bloody
Deed.

In broad daylight, and in the pres
ence OF quite q number of people, 6
murder, fendish in it's atrocity, was
committed in one of Washington's
public parks, Friday evening. George
Horton, an ex-member of the Wash
lngton police force, and Jane Nichols,
divorced woman, were sitting, about
7 o'clock, on q bench in Armory Square,
at Four-and-a-h street and Missouri
avenue. The woman announced to
Horton that she purposed no longer to
sustain her relations with him, and
was about to rise from the bench and
leave him, when swiftly Horton drew
small pen-knife from his pocket and
with a blade ground to O. razor-edge
slashed her across the throat. Her
screams in few seconds attracted
scores of people who were in the park
and in its vicinity.
Everyone of the hundred or more
persons who witnessed the fearful
tragedy was SO paralyzed with horror
that the murderer proceeded without
interference until he had almost sew
cred the head from the body. The
cries of the spectators drew the police
and Horton was arrested without re-
SiStance, standing over the body of his
victim.
AT the station-house he calmly adj
mltted the deed and expressed little
regret He is married man.

Manila. The admiral was wounded in
the leg during the fight. Fla said:
"The responsibility of my defeat lies
with the government at Madrid. There
were no proper vessels here. Ever
since [ assumed command of the navy
station here, 1 have been asking the
government for ships and torpedoes,
but nothing came. I constructed some
torpedoes for myself, but we did not
have proper material and they were
very bad. I knew from the first that
my squadron was being completely de-
stroyed. I knew the Americans had
men of war, whereas my ships were in.
