SCARCITY OF BEEF
Vera Cruz Clamoring for an Export
 Duty on Cattle

Vera Cruz, September S.-There is a growing scarcity of beef here owing to the large exportation of cattle to Cuba ever since the war, and the price has risen to such point that the poor people cannot afford to buy it. All over the country the price of beef has materially advanced, and reports from Mexico City show that there is much complaint among the press and the people.
 The newspapers here are clamoring for heavy export duty on cattle to prevent their shipment such as has been lately imposed by the government of Guatemala, where the country was being drained of beef cattle. Guatemala now imposes duty of $20 per head on all cattle shipped abroad, and allows imported cattle to come in duty free
 The weather continues warm, and the fever prevalent, as it is also at Orizaba, several thousand feet higher up.

BURNS GOES DOWN
 BEFORE ZEIGLER
Hot Fight Before the Broadway
 Athletic Club.
SCIENCE CAST TO WINDS
Neither of the Men Paid Attention to Rules or Precedents, But ugged Each Other Hard and Often
 Good Crowd Present

New York, September S-Owen Zeigier turned what seemed to be an inevitable defeat into a victory tonight before the Broadway Athletic club, where he met and whipped his old time opponent, Charley Burns, of Cincinnati Burns had ten pounds advantage in weight and was very strong and aggressive.
 In the opening rounds Burns was the ag- gessor, and in the fourth round Zeiger went down twice. In the following round Zeigler looked worried and both men seemed tired Science was cast to the winds completely and they simply slugged each other. In the seventh both fell in a clinch. Burns, after hitting Zeigler rather low on the body extended his right hand as if to apologize, but Zeigler merely hit his opponent on the jaw. This enraged Burns and in a wild rush he threw Zeigler heavily on the ropes. Burns then sent his left to the jaw and Zeigler fell through the ropes into the arms of the seconds, who showed him back into the ring at the clang of the bell.
 Burns kept forcing Zeigler until the eleventh, when the latter sent in a success sion of right smashes that made Burns decidedly groggy In the twelfth Zeigler rushed things and had his man so nearly knocked out that the bout was stopped. Zeigler got the decision.

BENTHEIM AGAIN
The Atlanta Man Continues His Alleged
 Revelations

Atlanta, Ga, September s.-Charies E. Bentheim, who claims to have up to two years ago been connected with the secret service of the German war office, and re- gently in an interview stated the manner in which the French war office secrets and other information regarding French arr senals and fortifcations reached the Ger man war office, today gave the name or the consul at Sonneberg under whom F1oerschultz was employed.
 'Mr. Halsey was consul at Sonneberg during the time that Alvy Floerschultz was yice-consul," said Bentheim, but the former was absent most of the time on ac- count of the health of his wife. I don't be- lieve MT Halsey knew anything of the use to which Floerschultz put the office. l met Floerschultz, then United States vice-eon- sul at Sonneberg in Berlin at the staff headquarters Koeniggratzer Strasse in company with Franz. They had many in- terviews with Captain Segel at which no United States official business was discuss ed, but number of plans for circumvent- ing those French officers who were not in the espionage scheme were decided upon. This I know, because l was present. MT. Weilops, now in Illinois, was not consul at this time and he could know nothing about it.
 This Siegel.' said Bentheim, slowly, "is the Captain Siegel who was one of Ger many's representatives at the recent peace conference at The Hague"
 MT. Bentheim stated that German post age stamps were used on all the United States consulate envelopes, the same as ordinary mail, as it was known the official seal of the American consulate would not carry them without postage in a foreign country.
