JACKSON WHIPPED.
PUT OUT BY JEFF ERiES IN
THREE ROUNDS.
He Opened Well But Went to His
Waterloo.

San Francisco, March 22.-Since the
great fight between Jackson and Corbett
there has never been so exciting an event
in pugilistic circles as the meeting Of
Jackson and Jefferies.
Jetferies is man of phenOminal mus
cular development, and like Sullivan, a
quick large man and clever boxer In
addition to this he has no nerves and is
almost insensible to pain. His ability to
stand punishment and his courage is un-
questioned.
There has been talk of Jackson's going
stale from five years of inactivity but a
careful examination of his condition re-
veals him i'll the pink of condition and
sound as nut.
Since yesterday the odds have been
shortening on Jackson and today there is
plenty of money in the pool rooms to lay
on the dusky champion and many pre-
diet even money at the ringside
Every seat in the pavilion is sold and
men who have not attended fights in this
city for years have secured front seats at
fancy prices.
Both men have trained c0nscientOusly
and there is no talk of fake or jobbery in
connection with the mill, as the records
Of both men place them above suspicion.
| The selecting of a referee prior to the
meeting has had good effect also, and
pleases the sports who remember the
wrangle at the ringside in the Sharkey-
/ Choynski fight
! Most of the money on Jetferies comes
/ from the East and the Jackson money
comes from San Francisco and some
| from admirers in London.
! The latest betting is 10 to with JEFF
( on the long end. 2500 Paris Mutual tick
cts have been sold AT COrbett's and they
show Jeiferes to be the choice up to l.
, rounds.
Over this number Jackson has a bis
lead.
The Medical Examiners of the Clut
made a final examination of both me1
to-day and pronounced them in pertec'
condition.

At 9 o'clock the pavilion was packed to
suffication and hundreds had to be turn

seems to be about evenly divided as to
the outcome of the battle. The race track
contingent seems to be backing Jetferies

General Garcia In Warrington.

The friends of Cuba will wish success 10
General Garcia and his associates. Their
mission 10 Washington is one of interest
to the people of this country as we'll as to
their own people. 1t is to the highest de-
gree important that the two peoples should
understand and trust each other and work
together toward solving the very difficult
problem that now confronts them. Both
will he injured if they work at cross pur-
poses Both will benefit if they pull to-
gether The desire on both sides is to
agree upon a course which with the least
friction will lead to the best results
1t is the time for consultation. Nobody
has or can have clearly defined policy as
yet Not exactly chaos exists in Cuba. but
condition bearing some of the features of
chaos does. But this is not the fault of
anybody in particular. 1t springs neces-
sarily out of what is called the logic of the
situation. War is always followed by some
demora.ization and more or less disorder,
and such a as Cuba has known is the
most trying of all wars. The great body
of the people have been beggared. and the
men who have borne the heat and burden
of the day lighting for independence have
nothing now to sustain them but the joy of
success That fills the head and heart, but
II raves tne SIOHldcn empty. AND the
stomach always insists on consideration.
1t is TO the honor Of General Garcia that
his immediate concern is for his soldiers.
He knows what they have endured. Doubt
less many of them took the field at his in
stance. He sees them now at the end of
the struggle ragged. hungry and homeless
and he wants TO help put them well on
their feet again Precisely how this may
he done-what the United States may do
in the premises-is not at this time clear
Discussion with the authorities here will
help to clear the matter up.
As 10 the general situation, General Gar
ctas ut tterances are those of a wise and
fsr-seeing man. He recognizes the respon-
sibiiity Of the United States for order in
cuba while its flag flies there and he ex-
presses firm faith in the integrity of this
government He has no fears that his people
will b. triched OF bullisd by their benefac-
tors. And this is the main point Occu-
pylng that position. he is bound 10 be

What do those SenGdors wish to see done
with the Philippines? They do not want

wish to nave the islands and the inhabj-
