In the matter of the withdrawal of Gu
bans from Gen. Garcias funeral process
sion on Saturday, the better element of
Cubans are now realizing that mistake
was made in the childish attitude and be-

vice presidents of the assembly, and Gen.
Andrade, who, it Is alleged, were respon-
slble for the order to withdraw. Con-
demnation of Saturdays action is grow
ing and expressions of regret and apol-
ogies will probably be rendered TO Maj.
Gen. Brooke.

TALK WITH JEFFRIES.
New Champion a Modest Unassuming
Young Man.

In his dressing room, as he prepared
for his exhibition, Champion Jeffries
talked very pleasantly with several
friends. He is a modest young man.
still new enough to his honors to be
free from any ultra-egotism.
OF his coming bout with Sharkey he
said he knew little, save that the
money was deposited and the battle
sure to cSme off in October, probably
in New York He made no boasts as
to what he should do with Sharkey.
In truth he rather seemed to dislike to
talk of his fights, past or present, a
quality that is refreshingly unusual in
a champion pugilist.
Il am not dead stuck on the game,
anyway" he admitted. but as long as
I'm in it, l might as well go ahead and
fight. I'll meet anybody that wants to
stand up before me. They needn't
wait until they get a reputation
They'll have that if they can lick me-"
Speaking Of the Fitzsimmons fight,
Jeffries said that he was confident of
winning from the start, and could have
finished his man much earlier in the
game had he not waited to test his
opponents strength and powers. He
came out of the fight almost as fresh
as he went into it. he said.
You look almost like n foreigner, Mr.
Jeffries, said one of the guests;
you're so dark"

ERNIE DEFEATS LAv1GNE.
Saginaw Man Bested After Twenty
Hard Rounds.

Buffalo. n. Y, July 3.-Frank Erne
of this city, met George Levigne of
Saginaw, Mich, in the arena OF the
Hawthorne Athletic club at Cheekto-
waga, a suburb of this city tonight,
and after fighting twenty fierce and
clever rounds, wrested the lightweight
championship of the world from the
western man.
Over 10000 persons watched the con-
test, which was brim-full of exciting
episodes and of hard and scientific
hitting. Lavigne went down to defeat
and surrendered the title in a most
creditable manner. He, was plucky
and game 10 the core, and for the first
half dozen rounds more than held his
own against his adversary. In the
seventh round Lavigne received ter
rible drubbing and was %lly saved
from a knockout by the timely inter
ference of the gong. Erne was looked
upon then as a sure winner, but in the
subsequent rounds il was seen that he
had lost some of his steam. Just what
was the cause of this was not ascer-
tanned until the bout had reached the
limit of twenty rounds, and Erne had
been declared the winner. 1t was then
found that he had badly injured his
left hand in the seventh round, and iif
this had not occurred Lavigne's I'M
doing might have come in half the
time that it took the Buffalo man to
win
Erne weighed in at 1884,, and Lavigne
at 135 pounds. Lavigne was the favor
lite, much money being bet on him at
odds of 100 to 90.

As for Jim, he did not try to land. He
bobbed about the stage quick as a wink
on his feet. or took his stand in his
fighting posture, crouching low and
well balanced, only to dart away from
his brothers onslaughts. So it went
through the rounds. and then of a
sudden Jack let his hands drop. Three
quick blows, heart. jaw and neck,
right, left and left again, and Jack
dropped as though dead, while O'Neil,
acting George Siler, counted him out.
That ended it.
Previous to Jeffries' appearance a
couple of amateurs. Bobby Lawless and
