JEFFRIES WINS.
Champion PugiIist Given the Deci-
sion on Points After "A Desper-
ate Fight with Sharkey.

Coney Island. y. Y, Nov. 4.-Jeffries
is still king of the bruisers by virtue of
a right hook, but he could not knock
out Tom Sharkey. His title deed TO his
crown is a referees decision after 25
rounds of rough humping, hugging,
rubbing and wrestling.
The battle for the championship last
night was more like a succession Of
railroad collisions than a fist fight.
1t was a battle between a buffalo and
a bear and the buffalo had the better
of it when the rules ended it.
Never has there been seen such a
struggle, and it was a struggle far more
than a glove fight. Before it was half
done both men were covered with blood
and their massive bodies were battered
and swollen. AS far as they had TO they
fought according to boxing laws, but
whenever a glove could rub a closed
wound again the glove was rubbed.
From the moment they faced each
other in the ring they worked their
hardest. There were few pretty tricks
of sparring, but there was an abund-
ance of smashing, crashing blows.

THE AMERICAN ARMY.
The Annual Report of the Adjutant
General Gives Some Interest
ing Facts and Figures.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The annual re-
port of the adjutant general of the
army, Brig. Gen. Corbin, to the Sec
retary of war, has been made public.
The following is a summary:
Gen. Corbn sums up the military forces
now in the service OF the United States as:
Regular army, 64,5S6; volunteers, 4,574:
total, 99,1 100. The regular establishment
consists of ten regiments Of cavalry, seven
OF artillery and 25 of infantry. The volun-
teer establishment consists OF one regi-
ment of cavalry. "A of infantry and Porto
Rican battalion. The distribution of these
troops up to October /, last, was as fol-
lows: In the United States, 34,229; Porto
Rico, 1868: Cuba, 11,1s7; Philippines, 3d.
3l5; en- route TO the Philippines, 1909;
Alaska 499 Hawaiian islands 1856
Gen. Corbin adds the following to his
summary: "It is expected that by De-
cember /, next, all the infantry regiments
United States volunteers, shown above as
in the United States, will have sailed for
the Philippine islands. These, with the
troops now there will give total strength
of 2,117 officers and 63,60S enlisted men (an
aggregate of 90, 5,725).
During the year there have been 62,17s
enlistments and reenlistments, Of which
53,024 were native born and 9,151 foreign
born. In point of color, 56,154 were white;
5000 colored and 20 Indians.
AS the increase Of the army calls for
an additional number Of military academy
cadets to fill vacancies, il is recommended
that the president be authorized TO appoint
ten annually and that two be appointed
at large from each state.

OFFICIALLY DENIED.
Spain Does Not Retain Islands
in Philippine Group.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The positive
statement is made here by authority
that Spain does not retain possession
of a single island in the Philippine
archipelago. This is called forth by the
declaration in the Spanish cortes Tues.
day of the Count d'Almenas that
through ignorance the American COM
missioners had allowed three islands
at the northern extremity of the archi-
pelago to remain under Spanish con-
troll through their definition in the
treaty of the boundary of the group.
There is stated to be no doubt as to
the sutficiency of the treaty clause to
cede the entire archipelago. If there
has been a failure on this point, that
fact will not rebound to Spain's benefit,
for ii is held officially that the islands
north of the Philippine archipelago
belong to Japan.

Washington, Nov. 3-It has prac-

reau will be established TO take directly
in charge all matters pertaining to the

is the idea of free. self governing and

conceivable. And the Indispensable need
from the Filipino point OF view or
maintaining American sovereignty over
the archipelago Is recognized by all
intelligent Filipinos and even py
those insurgents who desire an Ameri-
can protectorate. The latter. II is true,
would take the revenues and leave us the
responsibilities. Nevertheless they recog-
nize the indubitable fact that the Fill
pinos cannot stand alone. Thus the well

dictates of national honor In forbidding our
abandonment Of the archipelago. We can
not from any point OF view escape the re-

strongly persuaded that the performance or
our national duty will prove the greatest
blessing TO the peoples Of the Philippine
