The fall of the city seems immi- nent before the arrival of the Ameri- can forces. Manila is absolutely inca pablo of resisting bombardment Ad-

SELF DEFENCE.

With four such men as FitzSimn ons,
Corbett, Mccoy and Maher giving
Choynski the hardship Of not consider
ing his chances, there should br some Of
the hardest, sNftast fighting and skillful
boxing the world ever saw. Fitz, how
ever, is standing stitly and doggedly
upon his champions pedestal, declining
to meet any one except under certain
ridiculous conditions, which he has no
ur,hly right to name. Corbctt is in
the business to fight only one man-Fitz-
simmons, who does not want to meet
him. McCoys natural position is to
camp on the trail of both, but he is not
/ hankcring for either just yet. Mahcr is
willing to take either of the trio, and
can't get their consent He has no con-
ditions, he says nothing about rcputa-
ton, he only asks for Il chance to see
what he can do.
