NO FEAR OF POSSIBILITIES.
Latest Dispatches From General 9th
More Reassuring.

Latest Dispatches From General Otis
More Reassuring.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ill., It can be
stated on authority that such news as
has been received from General Otis is
rather reassuring than otherwise as to
the situation in the Philippines and that
he made no allusion as to q hostile COL
ision. He has been instructed to use
gentleness in dealing with the insurgents
and to advise and cooperate with Ad-
miral Dewey. There is some reason to
believe that the present situation may
be protracted longer than would be
naturally expected and that there
will be no open hostilities immedi-
ately if at all. The question is
what is to be done at noilo.
Originally it was intended to release
the Spanish force there besieged, but by
their evacuation of that place they have
removed that incentive, and were it not
for the false encouragement it would
give the insurgents there is little doubt
the United States troops would not be
moved against Iloilo. Meanwhile the
navy is expected to draw q Gordon
around the island of Panay, and also
Luzon, should it be deemed necessary
to do so to prevent the further supply Of
arms and munitions of war to the in
surgents. Probably the gunboats now
here or en- route will be reinforced by
the Machias, Annapolis and Vicksburg.

undeniably to the front that Fitzsim-
mons must consider the sailor pugilist's
claim without delay.
Sharkey was q revelation to those
who saw him couple Of years ago.
His ring work and generalship are also
vastly superior to his exhibitions when
he first came to the East as q fighter,
that the improvement il almost incred-
ible.
Fight Witnessed by Thousands.
The arena of the Lenox Athletic club
was crowded to the doors when Mccoy
and Sharkey entered the ring at 1923,
accompanied by their seconds. Tim
Hurst was referee. AS soon as the fight
ing began it was evident that Mccoy
intended to try and tire his heavy op-
ponent and his marvellous foot work
won the admiration Of the spectators.
He used every artifice known to the ad-
vanced school of pugilism and his de-
feat must not be attributed to any lack
Of close study on his part of every trick
in the boxing game. For the first few
rounds Mccoy seemed to have the ad-
vantage, as he managed to keep out of
Sharkey's reach and at the same time
get in several telling blows. In the
third the Kid sent his right to the sail
or's face, Telling him to the floor. Shar.
key jumped up at once and the dose was
repeated. Many then thought he had
the sailor at his mercy, but this idea
was dispelled as soon as the latter be-
gan to get at his man.
sharkey Has His Turn.
At the opening of the sixth round Nc.
Coy showed WEAKNESS and Sharkey was
on the aggressive. From that time on
he forced the fighting. getting in many
telling blows on his opponent, especially
in the wind. In the tenth round Sharkey
forced Mccoy to one side of the ring
and landed about as he pleased. A right
swing on the neck doored the Kid. He
lay there helplessly while the referee
counted 10 seconds, after which he
struggled to his feet and Sharkey, not
knowing that the limit had expired,
rushed at him once more. this time
swinging his left on the neck just below
the jaw, Mccoy falling again. The ref
cree did not trouble himself in counting
seconds, but waved his right hand to
Sharkey to retire to his corner, saying
at the same time, II counted Mccoy
out on the other fall; you've won." Nc.
Coy struggled to his feet and staggered
to his corner, where his seconds placed
him on his feet.
Mccoy weighed 1853 pounds and
Sharkey 172.
