FIGHT BETWEEN A TIGER AND A
 BULL.

FIGHT BETWEEN A TIGER AND A
 BULL.
 An extraordinary entertainment was given at the Plaza de Madrid some ten days ago in the presence of 1900 spec tators. This was 8 combat Ietween a royal Bengal tiger and an Andalusian fighting bull. The tiger. Cesar, was a full-grown brute belonging to Spessar- di, the trainer, who had never been able to do anything with it, and had, indeed, once nearly fallen a victim to it's ferocity. He sold it for 5000 francs to the Director of the Plaza. A cage seventeen yards square by four in height had been erected in the middle of the arena, and the animals were brought on in vans, the bull being the first to be released into the inclosure. The brute immediately began to run round and round hia prison, believing and throwing up sand and gravel with his hoofs. The instant the tiger enter ed the cage he gave a roar and bound- ed on the bull, avoiding the horns, and fixed on the Hanks and belly with both teeth and claws. The bull remained still for few seconds, and then seem- ed to be sinking backward to the ground. The spectators thought that all was over, but the tiger let go for a second to take another hold, and in the brief interval was kicked, over by the wild plunges of the, bull. Before the tiger had time to recover the bull was on him. and, sinking his horns into the striped hide, he tossed the tiger into the air. This was repeated four or five times, the bull varying his tactics oc- casionally by banging his adversary against the bars.
 When the bull stopped the tiger lay limp on the ground, and the crowd, thinking he was dead, cried, Bravo, toro!" The bull stood stamping for a moment in the middle of the cage, and then, seeing the tiger did not move, ap- preached and smelled him. But Cesar was only shamming death; he seized the bulls muzzle in his powerful jaws so the animal could not move. Event. ually, however, he was released, and, after stamping furiously on the tiger, again caught him on his horns. This time the tossing, stamping and bang ing apparently really ended in Cesar S death. The cage was then opened, and the bull rushed out and back to his stable. For precaution's sake the tigers van was brought up, and, to the general surprise, Cesar rose to his feet, glanced around as if afraid the bull was still there, and then bounded into the van. The tiger was found to have five ribs broken, besides having a num- Der of wounds from the bulls horns. He is expected, nevertheless, to sur vive. It is said that all wild animals bears, lions, partners, and tigers-fare badly in combat with the Spanish fighting bull. Man and the elephant are the only sure victors over these active and ferocious beasts.-From the Lon don Post.

Eyil Results OF the Publicity OF the
Round Robin Overcome.

Round Robin Overcome
Washington. Aug. Army ofieers are
greatly relieved to know from Santiago
dispatches that what appears 10 have
bccn a great danger TO the American army
has been safely passed by.
Reports OF the American commanders
at Santiago. including all the major gen.
erals division and brigade commanders.
which were made public In the newspaper
dispatches yesterday. gave for the mrs,
time 20 the public the news Of the terribly
dcmorallfed condition OF the American
army.
II this state Of Affairs had been known a
week ago. most serious results would have
followed.
The Spanish government must have been
expected 20 refrain from making peace
over,ures and prolong their resistance.
The publicity given TO these reports Is
most s,rongiy deprecated by almost every
ofiic4al Of the administration. but the Am
oriean army at Santiago Is being loaded
upon transports as rapidly as possible. and
Il IL hoped chat within a few days the
bulk OF he army will be at sea, bound for

demands OF the campaign there. so that
the heavy achievements now on their
way 10 that island. or about to be dis
patched, can be diverted to Santiago or
any other Cuban point at short notice II
the occasion should make II necessary.
With the knowledge Of these facts the
officials feel safe as to the future cond-
tions OF Santiago IL may be overstaung
the case to say that General Shafter was
rcbukcd for allowing the publication OF
the "Round Robin" ISSUED by the gener-
ais, for the secretary Of war confined his
communication to the simple inquiry as
to whether the general had given publicity
TO the Roosevelt letter and Round
Robin" but It Is certainly fact that
henccforth the order will be made to
guard such information more closely from
the public.

sHAFrER's TROOPS.
They WIN BE Moved North as Rapidly
As Possible.


Washington. Aug. 5, - The following
statement Is given out by the secretary
Of war regarding the shipment OF troops
north from Santiago.
Until quite recently It was supposed
that yellow fever was epidemic In Santi-
ago and It was not believed that It would
be safe to send ship loads north OF men
largely affected with yellow fever The
disease, II was believed, would spread
rapidly on ship board and would result
in the death and burial OF many, On the
2Sth ultimo the secretary Of war tele-
graphed General Shafter that as soon as
the fever subsidized the men Of his COM
mand would be moved north to Montauk
Point. On the S0th OF July General Shaft
er telegraphed:
II have made known the secretary of
wars telegram that the troops would be
moved north as soon as the fever subsidized
and It had good effect ON the men,"
"When. however the true condition was
made known the order was issued to Gen.
eral Shafter to move his command north
as rapluiy as all the ships in the quarter
masters service as 1t was possible to
get to Santiago were sent there

cans have taken peaceful possession OF
the eastern portion OF the island. Small
parties OF marines have been landed, VINO

THE PORTO RICO CAMPAIGN.
Miles Continues to Make Fine Progress.
and Displays a Mastery Policy.

New York. Aug. ga dispatch to the
Herald from Ponce, via ST. Thomas. says:
General Miles. having received informa-
ton that the fine military road from
Ponce to San Juan has been mined by the
Spaniards. has formed practically new
plan for the Porto Rican campaign.
In accordance with this new plan Gener-
al Stone. with some Wisconsin troops, Is
pressing rapidly toward Arecfbo, on the
northern coast Of the island, and General
Brooke, who has arrived. with General
Harris. and 100 men, will advance toward
San Juan from Arroyo.
By this plan General Miles will avoid
risking the lives Of the American troops
through the explosion of mines along the
military road and the use Of explosives
which the Spaniards have hidden In the
bushes along the way. At the same time
he will foil considerable body OF Spanish
troops in the town Of Aibonito, where the
enemy was understood % be ready to
make a strong resistance
The unsafe portion Of the military rcsd,
by the reports brought TO GenuGi Miles,
lies between Juan Diaz aud Aibonito.

point railroad and good dirt road ex-
tend to San Juan. The artillery and wag-
ons will be sent by transport to Arocibo
and it will be a simple matter to take
them with the army toward San Juan.
While the Spanish capital Is being
threatened from the west by the advance
of General stones troops, the troops
under General Brooke and General Harris
will be moving from Arroyo to Caye,
where they will seize the military road
beyond the danger points and from which
place the Americans can advance rapidly

Spain Now Holding a Conference on the
Terms Proposed by Mckinley.

New York, August 5,-A dispatch to the
World from Madrid says:
The explanation of its peace terms asked
from the government at Washington, es-
pecially regarding the Philippines, is ex-
pected today.
If it is received then Spain's final an
swer to the United States will be made
on Saturday. After the cabinet councils
the ministers declined TO furnish any in
formation concerning the dispatches re-
ceived from abroad. 1t is rumored, how
ever that the governments are sure to
come to an understanding for the suspen-
sion Of hostilities this week, as in reality
the only question now at issue are unim-
portant.
The Independent press and the opposl-
ton organs are fuming because Sagasta
has persuaded the regent to summon to
Madrid the wisest Of her statesmen and
generals in order to commit them irrevo-
cably to the peace policy, appealing to
their patriotism and loyalty, asking their
cooperation in preserving order through
out the peninsula and requesting frank
expression of opinion on the advisabtlity

aspects Of the situation.
With his usual plalness Sagasta tells
them he is quite willing 10 hand over the
relgns Of the government II they convince
the regent and the country that they are
prepared TO propose a better solution than
peace on the conditions imposed BY Presi-
dent Mckinley.
The Liberal advises the queen and pre-
mier to consult also the leaders Of the rad
ical parties because they have no share
in or responsibility for the shortcomings
which caused the colonial crash.
