wrestling and gouging. 1t was plainly
simple question Of endurance. as
neither had sufficient steam to land a
knockout blow. The men were on the
floor or wrestling against the ropes a
considerable portion of the time In
the forty-third Johnson threw Burns
and deliberately rolled over on top Of
him. Claim of foul" was disallowed,
and Burns went at his opponent saw
agely and wrestled with him. Pearce
had to employ main strength to pull the
two apart. This ended the round and
the referee announced that the repeated
fouls were disgrace to boxing and
that he would declare the bout mo
contest" if they were not discontinued
They were not discontinued, however,
and Pearce announced that if the men
went fifty rounds he would stop the
contest.
Pearce's count was incorrect, but
when he stopped the contest in the
forty eighth, none of the spectators
cared to correct him, as all were very,
very tired. 1t was nearly two o'clock
when the special motor returned to the
city.

After a struggle of three minutes, Lewis

Gallant Fight Against the spaniards.
Washington, May Am elaborate
plan OF warfare has been outlined by
the administration, to be started at
once. This programme, outlined by a
member of the cabinet, is of course sub
Ject to change by the rapidly changing
circumstances of war, but If not inter
fered with will proceed about as fol-
lows: The Philippine islands will be oc-
cupied without much delay by a mill
tary force of the United States under
General Fftzhugh Lee, provided he will
accept His nomination as major gen.
eral will go in as soon as the senate
meets again. The Philippines will be
put under military rule and held pend
ing treaty of peace. 1t will be made
the base of operations for the Asiatic
squadron, which is to be reinforced by
the Charleston, now on the Pacific
coast.

Supplies will be shipped at once from

who incidently is to be raised to the
rank of rear admiral without delay.
General Lees assignment is a great
surprise. but 1t is the present plan of
the president, which may be changed
by the objections of General Lee him
self, who has exhibited from the first
a desire to win military laurels in Cuba
For the Atlantic squadrons the first
consideration is the creating of a strong
base of supplies on the Cuban coast
to be occupied temporarily by the reg
ular troops to be sent there in a few
days. These troops, chiefly colored, will
go to work at once to erect powerful
Notifications. When the work is COM
pleted these troops will be returned to
the United States to become a part of
the regular military reserve in this
country to be held in readiness for
emergency.
General Wheeler for Cuba.
The permanent guarding and occupa-
tion of the Cuban base of supplies will
be intrusted to a detachment of yellow
fever immunes with General Joe"
Wheeler, who is himself yellow fever
immune, in command. The nomination
of General Wheeler, II is said, will there
fore go to the senate at the same time
General Lees name Is sent in and i'm
mediately thereafter General Wheeler
will depart for the south to get his
troops together and organize for the
campaign. Meanwhile. the sending Of
any considerable army to drive Span
iards from Cuba is not contemplated
before the close of the rainy season.
The same plan contemplates the inter-
cepting and crushing of the Spanish
fleets from Cape Verde or Cadiz before
they reach a base of supplies on this
side Of the Atlantic. II necessary for this
work the blockade of Cuba will be tenn
porarily interrupted.

This is in addition to the s34, ,019, ,99S

For keeping vessels attached to Ash

with COAL ammunition and stores, the
transportation OF which, the secretary
says, will probably necessitate at least
the charter and possibly the purchase
of number Of suitable vessels, also
to increase the number OF small craft
attached TO the various squadrons or
to replace such as may be disabled and
TO meet contingencies that cannot be
foreseen, $10,000.000 Total, $18,47O. 900.

The Proclamation of Martial Law Has a

Madrid, May 4.-The proclamation OF
martial law issued by the governor

aspect. The principal newspapers ad-

Much attention centers In the debates

lists, who propose to hold the govern

ent position. Although the position OF
certain members of the cabinet is re-
garded as unfavorable, IL is a matter
of difficulty to find men who are will
ing to succeed them under the present
circumstances. All classes are demand

PROMOTION FOR DEWEY.
He Will BE Made an Admiral for His Gall
liant Fight at Manila.


Washington. May 4-Secretay Long
has announced that as soon as the de-
partment receives any official report
from Commodore Dewey confirming the
press accounts Of his victory in the bat
tie OF Manila a cablegram would be
sent to the officer congratulating him
upon the splendid performance of the
American fleet under his direction.
Moreover. said the secretary, as soon
as the necessary confirmation is at
hand Commodore Dewey will be made
an admiral in recognition of his valor.
This will be accomplished Immediately
by an executive order designating him
acting admiral, just as was done in
the case of Captain Sampson.
Representative Grout of Vermont in
troduced the following resolution in the
house:
Resolved. Whereas, the intrepidity
and skill displayed by Commodore
George Dewey in his daring attack upon
the Spanish fleet in Manila harbor and
Its total destruction, covered as it was
by the Protecting guns of surrounding
forts, marks him as the possessor of
high qualities as a naval commander,
therefore
Resolved, That he ought to be pro-
NOTED to the rank of admiral and the
president is hereby authorized to nom
mate him for that rank to the senate,
which body is hereby authorized to con-
firm him, the general laws regulating
promotion in the navy to the contrary

believe the victory at Manila will end
the war. / am almost certain European
Intervention is going to occur, and this
time the United States will be disposed
to welcome any peace overtures of the
powers. We will return the Philippine
islands and ask for no indemnity. We
only want one thing. the recognition of
the independence of Cuba. On that
basis and under these conditions we
will lay down our arms. 1t is possible

Philippine disaster. The patriotic feel
ing here is increasing. The Spanish Of

Praise for Commodore Dewey.

London, May 4.-The majority of the
important provincial papers pay warm
tributes to the conduct of Commodore
Dewey and the United States fleet at
Manila. The Leeds Mercury says:
THE operations of the United States
squadron were skillfully planned and
courageously executed. 1t was a dar-
ing operation, entering the bay under
the cover of darkness" The Bradford
Observer says: "It was a singularly
daring exploit, and 1t will rank high in
naval annals, not in American merely.
but throughout the world" The above
are brief examples of many similar ex-
pressions of opinion on the subject
