JEFFRIEs WINS EASILY.
He Defeats Jackson in the Third
Round.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-Jim JEFF
fries, of Los Angeles. easily defeated
Peter Jackson, in the third round, to-
night, at Woodward's Pavilion. Jackson
did not make much of a showing after
the first round. He displayed some Of his
od-time cleverness in ducking and jab-
bing with his left, but could not land hard
enough to stop the rushes of his younger
and stronger antagonist. Jeffries showed
considerable improvement in cleverness,
using his hands with both judgment and
precision.
Jeffries entered the ring first, and was
followed by Billy Delaney De Witt Van
Court, and Spider Kelly. His appearance
was cheered, but three minutes later,
when Peter Jackson stepped into the ring,
and was followed by Patsy Corrgan, Vim
cent White, and Young Mitchell, the
house went wild. At 9O9 Referee Jim
Mcdonald. the National League baseball
umpire, summoned the men to the centre
of the ring and gave them the usual in
structlons.
At $40 the gong sounded, and the men
came up quickly, with Jackson on the ag-
gressive.
Jeffries led with left, but fell short.
Then he rushed, and again led with left,
which Peter ducked. Jeffries landed
lightly on the body with his right, re-
ceiving a similar blow In return. Jeffries
missed a left swing for the body, bus
landed lightly on Jackson's head. Peter
put a straight left on Jeffries's body, fol-
lowing rapidly with right-arm on body,
left on face, and right near heart. Then
Jackson jabbed Jeffries hard In face, re-
To- Isrf
concluded the round with two good rights
on Jeffries's body.
In the second round Jeffries missed n
hard swing, and was jabbed in the face
with left. Jeffries then put good left
on Jackson's head and clinched. Peter,
coming in close, put in short right over
Jeffries's heart, jabbing Jeffries hard on
the mouth with left, drawing blood. jeff
ries then rushed, but Peter cleverly
eyaded his swings. Jeffries swung left
on Jackson's jaw, knocking Peter down.
Jackson clambered to his feet, but went
down again from left swing just as the
gong sounded.
In the third round Peter came up fresh,
considering the conclusion of the pre-
ceding round Teffries landed left and
right on head, following with repetition
Of these on Jackson's jaw, and Peter
went groggy. genries Knocked Peter
against the ropes, swinging left on jaw,
Peter falling helplessly against the ropes.
Thereupon the referee stopped the fight,
giving the decision to Jeffries.
Jackson, who had trained hard for the
fight. weighed about 200 pounds, and al
though he had been considered by many
as a Dack-number, was pronounced by
physicians to be in perfect physical con-
dition. Jeffries weighed 2l5 pounds, and
was the favorite in the betting. at odds
ranging from 10 to to 10 TO s.

MADRID, March 22.-The papers here
publish full reports Of the movements Of
the United States warships and of the de-
fensive preparations being made by the
Government of the United States.
1t is reported that the Spanish warship
selected to convoy the torpedo fiotilla has
sailed from Carthagena for the Canary
Islands 1t appears that the delay in the
voyage of the torpedo-boats is due to the
fact that the Ariete, one of the torpedo
boats. sustained some slight damage
while on her way from Cadiz to the
canary Islands. The Spanish newspapers
advocate a further Strengthening OF the
naval squadron in Cuba, so as not to be
caught at a disadvantage in case of war.
Senor Moret, the Minister for the Colo
ules. told the newspaper-men who waited
on him to-day that the report OF the
snanish court of inquiry would not be
known as soon as expected. he said ne

April 24.-Morro Castle opened
fire on the fighting squadron of the
United States at II o'clock last
night. About 10 shots were sent
in the direction of our ships, but
none of them took effect, and no
shots were fired in return. The
Spaniards had apparently seen
the lights of the New York while
the latter was signaling TO a ship
of the squadron. The firing was
reported by the officer of the
deck, Ensign j r Edie, to Cap
tain Chadwick, who was asleep at
the time. The young officer asked
the captain in somewhat excited
tones, whether the New York had
not better discontinue signaling.
"No," muttered Captain Chad
wick, with the utmost GOODNESS; !;
"thereis no necessity, for. stopping
the signals, Go ahead"
Later Captain Chadwick was on
the. forw.ujd bridge when he
watched the tongues Of flames
shoot out from MORO Castle.
He glanced in the direction of the
Spanish Notifications for a few
seconds, and then turned his back
on them in silent contempt, and
went back to his bed, perfectly
certain the Spaniards could do no
damage at five miles, which was
then the approximate distance or
the flagship from Moro Castle.
April "a, Noon. the
early morning the MORO Castle
batteries again opened fire on the
fleet, but without the slightest
effect. There has been no casual.
ties among our forces up to the
hour of writing, and not a single
shot has been fired against the
batteries.

GENERAL LEE RESTLESS.

..-.. Army. ...

Richmond, April 23.-General
Fitzhugh Lee will leave on the
noon train Monday for Wash .ng-
ton., The General appears some
what restless under the restraint
placed upon him by the delay in
sending troops to Cuba, and be is
anxious to get back to the island
and attack the Spaniards, and pre-
diets that if he is put in charge of
troops down there he will make
quick work of Blancos $ army.
The announcement from Spain
today that Weyler has conferred
with the Queen Regent and would
return to Cuba at the head of an
army, proved interesting reading
for General Lee, who said, after
he read it, that he would like
nothing better than to face Wey-
Ter with an army. General Lee
appears to think that the proposed
delay in sending troops to Cuba
will prove somewhat dangerous.
The rainy season sets in on the is
land about the middle of June or
the ist Of July, and ilo had hoped
that the troops would be sent at
once to Cuba, and the fight be
over before the rain began to fall.
