GOMEZ SURRENDERS.

an Active Ally of the United
States.

General MaNlmO Gomez, the
commanding general of the Gu

suring him of his co operation in
disbanding the Cuban army and in
distributing among the Cuban
soldiers the 5000, 900 appre-
priated for the purpose of enabling
them to return to their homes.
General Gomez also telsgraphsd
to Major General Brooke, saying
he would accept the latter's invi-
tation to 90 to Havana.
The success of Mr.. Porter s
mission greatly simplifes the re
turning of the military Cubans to
the pursuits OF peace.
In view Of General Gomez 9
supposed prior attitude of hostili-
ty toward the United States, Mr..
Porter came hele Gle thed with
absolute autho' ity and the tender
of the So, 900, 900 was practically
a verbal ultimatum. Had It not
been accepted, no more ultimatums
would have been made.
Mr.. Porter made plain the pur-
pose of the government, and was
gratitied at the ready response OF
General Gomez. Tho conference
took place at the house here oc
cupied by the Cuban general az
his hsadUuartsrs since eOminr 10
town.
In brief, the compact is as fol :
lows:
First The Cuban officers i'm
each province shall assist the
American officers in distributing
the funds.
Second That these officers
shall, ut once, meet ut some con
yonisnt point and advise how,
when and where the payments are
to bc made, and arrange any other
details.
Third That the sum paid to
each man shall not be regarded as
payment of salary or wages due
for services rendered; but to
facilitate the di>bandment of the
army, ~ \ relief Of suffering and
a. am aid in getting the people to.
work.
Fourth-The Cubaus shall sur.
render their arms to the Cuban
assembly or to its representatives..
Fifth-The committee ON dis,
tribution shall Use its best en-
deRvors to distribute it among
the population so that all may
secure work.
SiXth-That the 1000, ,OOC
shall be placed subject to the or

BOXING EXHIBITION.
Good and Indifferent Bouts at Father
Mathew Hall

The boxing tournament given by Joe
Flaherty last evening in Father
Mathew hall furnished the first sport
with the gloves that Worcester sports
have seen since the license commits
sioners refused last year, to grant Ii
censes.
Some of the bouts were the easiest
kind of exhibitions in which the only
redeeming feature was the cleverness
shown, as there was nothing like a
contest But one or two were warm
and a touch of real boxing with the
viciousness eliminated.
The show was late in starting, for
which there was little excuse, but the
crowd was good natured. Several spe-
cialties We're interspersed and a wrest-
ling bout between Jim and Ed Teller
was one of the best things on the pro-
gram. They struggled at catch-as-
catoh-ean on the bare stage floor, Jim
finally winning by half, Nelson's hold
forcing Ed down from a bridge.
Joe Flaherty opened the boxing with
John L. Sullivan, an easy bout Walter
Jennings of New Haven and Austin
Rice of New London showed a clever
exhibition, but not fast. Rice re-
strained himself. Tim Carroll and
Mike Doyle, formerly Of Lynn, boxed.
f(lCe put Oh the SlONCS VIII wv .
Boles of this city. He let Boles slam
away, which pleased Boies' friends.
Rice showed exceptional good nature
in not making any attempt to show
what he could do. Flaherty and Eddie
Bride Of Hartford, matched to fight
Kenney of Chicago at 1876 pounds Mon
day evening, wound up in four rounds.
They gave a fine exhibition. They
didn't play, and although there was no
animus shown the second round was
pretty stiff.
The hall was filled and one woman1
sat in the gallery.

the coachers, will put up at the Murray
Hill hotel The players are in the best
OF condition and in good spirits Appar-
emily they do not anticipate as hard a
game with Columbia as they did last
week when they lined up against Wis
consin. They express themselves con
lldent OF winning the game and also of
Keeping Columbia from scoring If the
style or game which they anticipate how
ever, proves erroneous, they may miss
their guess.
Yale expects much the same sort of
play, that Yale has been playing. a
straight open game of running by the
backs, varied by plunges into the line
This, without doubt, will be Yales style
OF game tomorrow, inasmueh as no secret
practice has been held this week and the
playing has been of the order decided
with quick lining up, the signals being
given before the men are up on their feet
after scrimmage or rush Can't. Nc
Brlde has insisted on the sharpest sort
OF work, no matter how oppressive the
weather for hard playing, though he has
shortened the halves correspondingly.
capt. Allen OF the crew came out again
today. He has declined all Invitations tc
play foot ball this season, as he did last
year, desiring to husband his strength for
the winter work in the tanks in rowing.
But he yielded to the entreaties of Cant
Mcbride at last and although he PLAYED

DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN.

Another great discovery has been
made. and that, too, by a lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutcaes
upon her. and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of DR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking the first dose, that she slept all
night; and With two bottles has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes w. C.
HamniclS & Co., of Shelby, N. c. Trial

all the way home. Perry was about 30
yards behind, and Hennessey 10 yards
behind him. Hall was close up, and
next followed Dowd, who drew up in
the hard run up the hill. He went past
the second turn in sixth position, and
finished in that position, drawing away
from the men behind.
The crowd on Bliss field saw the run
ners when they struck the side hill
leading down from the academy. Dixon
was in the lead, with Carpenter close
up. Hennessey raced down the hill in
fourth position. After crossing the
boulevard, Hennessey fell, which al
lowed the others to draw away. He
spurted and gained back some of the
ground lost. Dowd came down the hill
fast, as if intending to make his race
there, but got a bad toss and injured
his knee and elbow.
The runners had to crawl through a
barbed wire fence 100 yards from the
finish. Dixon came home strong, 10
yards ahead of Carpenter. The latter
had a lead of 20 yards on Perry. Hen
nessey made a gallant attempt to catch
Perry, but could not do better than
come in five yards behind. Hall was SO
yards behind Hennessey, with young
Dowd right on his heels and trying hard
to get past The first half dozen were
within less than 100 yards of each other
at the finish Taylor, the next man in,
was coming through the fence, 100 yards
back as Dowd finished. Blodget was
about 80 yards behind Taylor, and
Gould followed him at about 80 yards.
There was another long break, and
Streeter next showed through the fence
He walked in. Adams, Stevens, Stone,
Pierce anG Fox finished in order, the
latter scoring the last point. Dumont
finished soon after Fox, leaving Tucker
and Lynch out. 1t was several minutes
before Tucker showed up, and Lynch
who brought up the rear, was far be-
hind. He came home eating an apple

FOOL TRAIT or CRABS.


Crawling Into Live Oysters.
An oyster shuckcr found in the shell of
a bivalve what he called baby crab.
"That's the first one of that kind ever
found in a Long Island oyster" said the
old shucker, land I've been Smoking
along the sound for 20 years. But such
crabs are frequently found in Virginia
oyster shells and are considered great
delicacies when you get enough of them.
Last summer l was shucking while Oh a
visit to Virginia, and l found enough
baby crabs in oyster shells to Fill an
ordinary size coffecpot. A young woman
saw them and clapped her hands at the
sight She asked me what ! would take
for them. ard l said 50 without thinking.
She took me up quicker than a mice, and
off she ran with them as If she had
drawn q prize"
"Why do they go into cyster shclls?"
81 don't know. asked an old Virginia
shucke: that same question. and he said
it was because they were lonesome and
vert in for company. But l dent be-
heve it, That would mean that crabs
think, and we know they don't. Neither
does Il lobster think the biggest fool
in water is u lobster. l suppose you
know how we catch Holsters in the
sound? Take box, bore holes in the
sides Of it and sink 1t, Put out your
buoy so you'll know where to find tho
box. Leave the box sunk all night and
go out the next morning, haul 1t up, and
you've got box full of Holsters. And
the funny thing about it is that they so
into the holes backward. Even people
will put their heads into holes where
they are looking, but it takes lobster
10 back into hole, and they keep on
doing it. Fish are smart. You have to
play with them to bite. But Holsters,
they back right into your arms. Biggest
fools that live"-Philadelphi INQUIRER.
