BLOWHARD CORBETl.
Shal key. Corbett Fight at LenOx Club
Results in usual Ring FiascO. His
Second Saves him a Drubbing by
>yiO,ating Ring Rules.

DIRK, Nov. 22.--The fight between
Coz d sharkey at the Lenox club to-
night resN,hed in victory for the sailor
pugilist, after one minute and forty-eight
seconds of lighting in the ninth round Cor
bett wasn't knocked out nor beaten because
of distress on his part. The fight ended by
a violation of rules by Corbett's second and
trainer, Jim Mcvey, who jumped into the
ring before time was up, 1t is the opinion
that Money lost his head and made the
break The referee was compelled to give
the decision to Sharkey but made mp by de-
claring all bets off. There were rumors
that Moneys break was part OF the
scheme.
1t is rumored also that the whole thing
was premeditated by both sides, but it Is
hardly possible. The most feasible solu-
ton is that there was fear in Corbett's corn
er and that he might be beaten summary,
and that by breaking the rules he could
lose the fight in manner not discreditable'
There is no doubt that in the nine round
fought Sharkey was stronger and more ag-
gressve and pow erful in his action than
Corbett, who boxed clevely, but without
steam in his push. Those who saw him in
his former fights said he had gone back
In fact, after the fight had reached the
second round there were many Corbett men
who feared the worst. None of Coz belts
blows passed Sharkey. He could not have
stopped Sharkey within the limit. He
would have been knocked out.

R0OSEVELT'S OPINION
Regarding Management Of the War,
Confusion and Unsuitable Clothing.

NEW YORK, Nov 22.-Col. Roosevelt APP
peared before the war investigation COM
mission this afternoon. He pictured the
confusion at Tampa when embarking for
Cuba and said he had to take matters into
his own hands to get anything done. When
asked what caused the confusion he said he
didn't know as he, only Lieutenant Colonel,
could give the fact and he didn't care to
draw conclusions. He critised the condition
on transports and said the clothing and
rations when the march on to Santiago be-
gun were unsuitable and described the oper.
tons leading to a capture of the city .

She took also % officers and 100 soldiers.
The Mexico and Chandernagor, leaving

blockade.

London, Nov. 22.-The morning papers
concede the generosity of the offers of
the United States pea re commissioners
and express the opinion that Spain would
be foolish to reject them. They express
universal qualification at the announce
ment of the open door" policy in the
Philippines.
The Daily Mail calls the offer of 500
100000 as Indemnity "a surprising act of
generosity"
The papers generally take it for grant
ed that the "open doc " will be adopted
In the West Indies also
The Daily News says: The United
States have not become an Asiatic power,
and Lord Salisbury clearly had reason

to. In this event, it would be possible
for the joint commiss on to continue its
sessions and proceed to the considera-
ton and adjustment of other matter
including those which, as subsidiary and
incidental to the joint provisions, should
form part of the treaty of peace.
1t was at this juncture that the Amer
leans notified the Spaniards that they
desired to treat of the religious freedom

litical prisoners now held by Spa n in

An analysis of the American memora
dunn shows that all other suggest.or
and considerations in it hinge JUROR
treaty cessOn, at the amount named by
the United States and within one week
In the event of cession Spain may enjoy
for term of IL years rights of COM
merce in the Philippines equal to those
of the United States. If the United
States acquire the islands by conquest
Spain may not enjoy such rights. Should
Spain refuse cession she would remain
liable for indemnity claims, national
and individual, since the outbreak of the
last Cuban Instruction. Should she re-
fuse, she would also lose, probably, as
further indemnity for the expenses of
conquest, one of the Carolnes, which
she may now sell, and other cable privi-
leges within Spanish jurisdiction might
be taken by the United States without
any return to Spain for them.
The Spaniards, doubtless, do not know
whether they will accept or reject the
American terms. They are telegraphing
the substance of the American mem
orandum to Madrid, and they expect to
reply at tomorrow's meeting.
Possibly they may conclude that, be-
cause one money offer was made, an
other and a rger offer may follow pres
sure upon tn American commissioners.
But if this their expectation, 1t will
not be realized. The American terms
submitted almost at the close of eight
weeks of patient hearir g and painstaking
arguments, are a practical ultimatum.

The bill relating to the salary of the Gov

now before House committee provides
that the Governor shall receive 81 800 per
year as salary, land also he shall be paid
the reasonable expenses of himself and
staff, except during the session of the Gen
eral Assembly" The provision concern
ing personal expenses allows an executive
considerable latitude, and makes it entirely
matter of opinion, but it is probably about
as effective a bill as can be devised.
