GODDARD DEFEATS MAYER.
First Punch Ends Fight Lasting but One Minute md Fifty Seconds.

Philadelphia, May 12.--At the Arena seconds of combined sparring and fighting, Joe Goddard, the Barrier champion" retired Peter Maher, with a sort of pivot punch, delivered so sud- denly that hardly spectator realized what had come off. Up to the time he received his quietus Maher looked like a winner. What few punches had been landed were in his favor. Goddard landed the punch which proved disas- trous to Peter while trying to escape from one of the latter's vigorous on- slaughts near the ropes. It was evil dent that Goddard was in the better physical condition of the two. He look ed two pounds lighter than upon the occasion of his encounter with Peter at Coney Island and displayed a shift mess afoot surprising in one of his years.
 There was the usual fiddling at the opening, followed by feinting, both men being apparently desirous of drawing the other into a lead. Maher took the initiative. Goddard invaria- bly, followed up his left with his right toward the body, which saved him from at least one good stiff counter. Maher finally landed with his left hard on Goddard's jaw. Goddard swung for the body and landed, but it did not amount to much and a clinch followed. As soon as the men broke away Maher again took the of- fensive, landing with his long left on Goddard's face, the Barrier Champion retaliating with the right on the body Maher rushed Goddard to the ropes There was a slight mix-up. Suddenly Goddard, who appeared to be breaking away, brought his right arm around in backward movement. The glove caught Maher about the face, whether on the jaw, where Goddard says it did or not will never be revealed As Ma her received the punch he was par tially tripped by Goddard, whose right foot was covering one of Maher's. Peter fell face forward, striking the floor with great deal of force. When Maher went down the spectators thought that it was only an ordinary knockdown, but the referee tolled off the Hateful ten sec onds and Maher was still on the floor. It was fully ten seconds beyond that time before he rose to his feet. The time of the fight was just one minute and fifty-one seconds,

Dor. The column passed from the en-
 trance of the harbor to the extreme
 eastward battery. Utter indifference
 was shown for the enemy's fire. The
 wounded were quickly attended to- the
 blood was washed away, and every
 thing proceeded like target practice.
 At 7:45 a. m. Admiral Sampson sig
 nailed "cease firing"
 Retire" was sounded on the Iowa
 and she headed from the shore. The
 Terror was the last ship in the line and, failing to see the signal, banged away alone for about half an hour, the con- cert of shore guns roaring at her and the water flying high around her from the exploded shells. But she possesses a charmed life and reluctantly retired at S:15. As at Matanzas, the unsatis- factory conditions, the smoke and the distance prevented any important con- clusions being drawn. The town of San Juan must have suffered, although protected by the hills, as the high shots
 must have reached it. No traces of the
 bombardment were discernible on the fort except small fires, which were ap- parently extinguished before the fleet | left.

GREATEST or MODERN qrMEs.
What Battle Between Spanish and Am-
 erican Squadrons Is Likely to Be.

erican Squadrons Is Likely to Be.
 Washington, May 13.-The naval at taches of the several embassies and le- gations look forward to the battle be- tween Admiral Sampson's squadron and the Spanish squadron as likely to be the greatest of modern times. One of them said to-day that it would be the first great battle between modern ironclads. The only fight of this kind in recent days was that between the Japanese cruisers and the torpedo boats and the Chinese battleships at Wei Hai-Wei, when the smaller craft of the Japanese navy, being swift and we'll handled, sank the Chinese battleship Chuen Yuen and disabled the battleship Ting, Yuen. This engagement was tri- fling, however, compared with what the fight between the American and Span ish squadrons promises to be, owing to the many large ships, with belted ar mor, heavy guns and the most deadly weapons of destruction known to mod ern naval warfare.

1T CAMP HAVEN.
Review of Troops by Governor Cook
 Large Number of Rejections.

Camp Haven, State Military Rendez- vous, Mantle, Conn.,, May 1S-The event of the day at camp was the visit of Governor Cooke, accompanied by his staff. The party was received in an informal way by General Haven, Col
 onel Houston, Assistant Quartermaster General Cornell and Captain Tbomp- son, U. s. A., and escorted to the grounds. They occupied three car-
 riages and as they entered the grounds the guard presented arms. The gov-
 ernor's salute of seventeen guns was delayed by some hitch in the arrange | ments and was not fired until nearly l five minutes after the governor reach ed post headquarters. Half an hour was spent by the governor going over the encampment on a tour of inspec- | ton, accompanied by General Haven, | Colonel Houston and Captain Thomp- son, U. s. A.
 l On the governors return to head quarters review in which all the troops participated, was rendered him.
 It was the first time the infantry and 1 battery were on the field together on
 parade. The First regiment, headed by the band, occupied the right of line,
 and next in order came batteries B, A
 and c heavy artillery and battery A | light artillery, with the Yale boys in
 the last platoon. The general appear
 ance and marching of the men was a
 surprise to the governor and his terms
 of praise were unstinted. His compli-
 ments to Colonel Burdett were pro- fuse. Captain Beach's raw recruits,
 without uniforms, and the Yale platoon
 received extra commendation. The
 Yale boys came in for considerable ap-
 plause. Governor Cooke accompanied
 by General Landers returned to Hart
 ford at 3:55.
 The examination of Company H was
 completed to-day. Those rejected are:
 Sergeant F. F. Connolly, Sergeant F.
 P. Horan and Privates T. B. Calverly, | M. T. Clearey, J. q. Barchfield, E.. Chatham, J. E. Stanton, R. F. O'Meara,
 c. J. White, c. F. Woodstock, J. J.
 Crogan, T. H. Hamilton and J. J. | Kearney, making thirteen with a total
 of thirty-five men rejected to-day. The
 total numebr of men dropped in the
 nine companies examined is ninety four. Company E will be examined to-
 morrow when the regiment will be ready for mastering in. It is expected 1 the regiment will be mustered in Sum- day or Monday The number of men | rejected in the past two days has
 greatly disturbed Colonel Burdett and
 the company commanders. A major portion of the men rejected are recruits l and the officers say that this goes to I show that the examinations, recently
 conducted in Hartford, have not been up to the standard.

GENERAL BhASco,s REPORTS.
Claims to Have Repulsed Americans at Cienfugos and Cardenas.

CienfugOs and Cardenas. Madrid, May 13.-11 D. m.-General Blancos dispatch describing the en-
 gament at Cienfugos says: "The Amer jeans fired over 600 shells while they
 attempted to effect a landing With large
 boats landed their men, but the latter
 were energetically and victoriously re-
 pulsed all along the line. The Ameri-
 cans were compelled hastily to re-em-
 bark and withdraw with considerable loss, retiring in a westerly direction af- ter five hours fighting. The attack
 was made in combination with bands
 of insurgents who have been put to flight. Our losses were only two killed and four wounded"
 General Blancos dispatches also say: | At the same time they were attacking Cienfugos an attack was made by the Americans on Cardenas. One of their | larger ships anchored some distance away. The enemy tried to land troops, but our troops compelled them to desist. 1 Our gunboats disabled one of the en-
 emys ships and compelled the squad
 ron to leave the bay. The garrison had five wounded and about ten were wounded on board the gunboats Lit | tie damage was done to the town, al- though one shell fell in the British con- sulate. The attack had been planned l in cooperation with the insurgent | forces, who were recently defeated at I San Miguel"
