Notwithstanding Corbett's announce

ment that he hopes to meet Jaffues
again, prize ring champions rarely
amount to much in the pugilistic bust

Like John l.. Sullivan, who has been
on the retired list ever since Cornett
knocked him out. they are thenCefor-

OF late years nearly every puGilist

A WARM FIGHT.
A Thousand Rebels Driven From En-
trenchments Near Calamba.


Manila, Aug. 1, $3.50 a. m.-sunday's
fight az Calamba was a warm one.
The insurgents were unwilling 10
abandon the place, which is the key
to the lake road. General Hall, hear
ing that General Malbar was prepar-
ing to make an attack, sent Major
Weiseberger with three companies CT
the 21st infantry, three troops Of cav
airy and one of Hamilton's guns to
attack the insurgents. This detath-
ment found a force of 1000 rebels be-
hind hastily made entrenchmenis. The
rebels held their fire until the t0ntin-
gent of the 21st regiment was within
800 yards, when they fired a volley.
The Americans dropped in the high
grass out of sight and returned the
fire
Lieutenant Love, who was walking
erect along the front of the men, was
shot in the arm. An insurgent officer,
equally brave, stood at the top of the
trenches directing the fire of the insur-
gents until he was killed, when the
Filipinos fed.
During the fighting on the north side
of the town a small body of insur-
gents attempted to enter on the south
side. but a troop of cavalry repulsed
them.
The total American loss at Calamba
was seven killed and 20 wounded. Six
teen dead insurgents have been found.
The American garrison at Morong is
going to Calamba.
a body of insurgents has visited
Taytay, where they killed natives who
were friendly to the Americans.

IMMENSE DAMAGE.

which caused immense damage. Three

After striking Santo Domingo the
hurricane moved to the northeast, de-

The governor of MOCa has taken

RECRUITS ARE VERY SHY
Applications Are Not Up to Ex-
pectations.
FIRST DAY WAS THE BEST
Work Incident to Opening the ONCE Ha S
Consumed Most of the Time.
Branch Stations to Be
Opened.

The expectations that were aroused
by Captain Detchmendy's experience
the first day he had his recruiting sta
ton opened here are not being real
lied. The first day there We're over
so applications for enlistment, and five
recruits were accepted. 1t was such
a good days work for a beginner that
Captain Detchmendy was prompted to
expect very good results from his la
bors, but since that time results have
been somewhat discouraging. There
have been a number of applications
each day, but they have not been as
plentiful as on the opening day, and
the number of enlistments in the two
weeks since the opening day have only
equaled the number secured on that
day, or 10 all told. 1t was stated at
the recruiting office yesterday that the
Office work and the work incident to
opening a branch station has so con-
sumed the time of Captain Detchmen-
dy and his assistants that very little
time has been left for examining and
existing men. Now that the July re-
ports are up and provision for the
branch stations has been made. 1t is
expected that greater progress in Sc
curing recruits will be made. 1t was
intended to open branch stations at
Anaconda, Helena, Great Falls and
Bozeman, but Captain Detchmendy
does not think a station al Bozeman
would bring in enough recruits to
make it worth the while, and he has
asked the department to rescind the
order relative to that place. Branch
stations viii be opened at the other
points, however. The Helena station
is ready for business and is in charge
of Lieutenant W. J. Heaton of the 34th
u. S. volunteers. Lieutenant John V.
Green of the same regiment has ar
rived and will have charge of the An
aconda station. Who will be in charge
at Great Falls is not as yet settled.
The officers in charge of the branch
stations Will merely receive applica-
tons for enlistment and set a day for
the applicants to report at their offices
and at that time Captain Detchmendy
will be on hand to make the eXaniina-
tions and enlist the men.

DU CLAM LIBERATED.
The Plans to Make Him the Army's
Scapesoat Failed.

Paris. July 31.-Le Soir announces
that Colonel Du Patty de Clam was lib
Grated this afternoon. General Bru-
gere, military governor of Paris, has
the power to override the decision that
there is no case against Colonel Du
Patty de Clam. but it is understood he
will couAtersign the acquittal.
Nothing is yet known of the actual
grounds of the acquittal, but it is re-
ported that Du Patty de Clam was ex-
onerated because it was proved that he
acted under direction from Generals
Donse and de Boisdeffre, against
whom severe disciplinary measures are
imminent. If this is confirmed it will
prove that the efforts of the general
staff to make General Du Patty de Clam
a scapegoat has failed.

U ACID IN BEEF.
DIR. DAILY Chief surgeon of Noiun-
teers, so Testines Before the
Inquiry Hoard.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Wednesday's
proceedings of the court of inquiry in
yestigating the beef controversy deyel-
oped little that vas new. The testi-
mony, with the exception OF that OF DIR.
DAILY, surgeon on the stan Of Gen. Miles
during the war, and OF Col. Woodruff,
assistant commissary general, was gen.
orally In line with that OF Tuesday.
The canned roast beef was generally
condemned as unsatisfactory, while The
refrigerated beef was commended, the
chief complaint being that IL often de-
composed en- route TO camp. The testi-
mony of representatives of the sub
sistence department was begun, that OF
Col. Woodruff, assistant commissary
general. being the most notable. He
purchased more than 500. 900 pounds
of canned beef. and told of the method
Of purchase. and the reasons that
prompted il. He took issue with Gen.
Miles contention hat beef on the hoof
was the usual source of fresh meat sup
ply 10 the army.
Another feature of the day was the
introduction OF DIR. DAILY, who charged
before the war commission that refrig-
Grated beef AT Chickamauga, Jackson
Vile, Tampa and in Porto Rico had
been treated chemically.
In all Of his very detailed recital the
question Of beef was not once broached
by the court, but when DIR. DAILY had
been chronologically carried through
his term Of service and out of the army,
- 1919 H.. 49, fap.nae
"embalmed beef" report and asked
him IL he recognized IL. DIR. DAILY said
that he did and il was all right except
perhaps the date, which in the copy
was September 81. He said 10 the best
OF his recollection the exact date was
October ~. The date, however. he said.
was not essential. the report being gem
uine and, in the opinion of DIR. DAILY.
perfectly accurate.
Col. Davis then addressed the court
briefly. saying that IL was only within
"a hours that he had been able per-
sonally TO study this report Of DR..
DAILY, and he found therein certain al
legations against certain persons who
had made contracts for supplying food
material 20 the government. To IN
tinue the examination of the witness
on this subject in the absence Of those
persons against whom his charges were
