Chief of Police Devery of New York,
when examined by the Mazet commit
tee concerning the Fitzsimmons-Jef-
fries battle, declared that he saw moth
ing that was not strictly scientific and
within the law. The knockout blow,
said the observant chief, was "scien-
tific tap" and happened to catch Mr..
Fitzsimmons little off his balance,
thus causing him to fall gently and
easily to the floor. Battles with axes
or cleavers would probably be con-
demned by Chief Devery, but the heav-

as Jeffries and F'itzsimmons are only
scientific taps" and no violation of

In the light of more recent events
it appears that Cuban honor" is more
a matter Of official restraint than any
thing else. So long as the Cuban SOL
exchanging of their guns for American
gold was most degrading transac-
ton, but when they broke away from
their officers, the more gold they could
get. gun or no gun, was evidence of
their shrewdness. The Cubans are not
much unlike the Spaniards, for, come
to think of it, the Dons parted with
the Philippines for less than per
cent Of what Spanish honor originally
demanded.
