TO BATTLE IN NEW YORK.
Jehries- sharkey Fight To occur in
the Eastern City.

New York, Aug. 29.-Jim Jeffries and
Tom Sharkey viii battle for the worlds
heavyweight championship before one
of the local boxing clubs This is as
good as settled Both principals are
anxious to adjust heir differences in
this section, and in view of the fact that
the battle ground VIII be located here.
Sharkey has secured training quarters
in this city William A. Brady and
Tom o'I;ourke VIII meet on Friday to
make tinal agreement upon the arena
for the fight.
To date only one outside bid has been
made for the fight. A syndicate headed
by a number of San Francisco sporting
men has hung up a purse of 100000 to
pull off the mill in California No ac-
ton has yet been taken on this offer
According to the fighters and the
managers there are only two clubs com
petent TO decide such contest without
interference, the Lenox Athletic Club
and the Coney Island Sporting Club
William "A. Brady has already offered
a purse of $4,000 for the bout to take
place at Coney Island, but the offer was
refused by Tom o'Rourke. who believes
that the Lenox Club can give better in
pairing TO offer is not known, but he has
often stated that the contest will draw
about 100000 gate receipts. If this be
the case it would not be surprising if
the championship purse reached the
enormous sum of $4,000.
When Brady offered $4,000 he stated
that his club was prepared to go still
higher if necessary. AS pictures of the
fight will be taken, Coney Island will
have the advantage of ORourke's or
ganization, as the former can without
any great difficulty remove the roof
from its present structure and SO per-
NIT the kaleidoscope to operate.
Tom Sharkey, who arrived in town
yesterday from Saratoga, had decided
to start training the latter part of the
week. He has secured quarters at Je-.
rome avenue and One Hundred and Six
ty-N Ninth street, where Dixon and Ken
nedy are preparing for their coming
fights.
Jeffries, who is now in London, will
go to Paris on Friday. He will leave
for America next week, arriving home
about September IA. Immediately upon
his arrival here he will 60 into tralning

TO PUNISH TRAITORS.


Mayor of Baliuag Given Twenty
Years imprisonment Sentence.
Manila, Aug. % (via Hong Kong, Aug.
29.)-The alcalde of Baliuag, who after
being installed with great ceremony by
Gen. Lawton not long ago, was arrested
recently because of his dealings with
the insurgents, has been sentenced to
twenty-five years imprisonment in Biz
ibid Jail for treason. The alcalde of
San Pedro Macati, installed by Pro-
for the same offense. The alcalde of
linus is under suspicion of treason.
These are some of the indications that
the natives can not be trusted to CO.
operate with the Americans in forming
local governments, their sympathies be-
ing with their countrymen in spite of
their protestations of friendship for the
United States. A prominent native of
Manila, supposed to be friendly to the
American government, fell under sus-
picion recently and his house was
raided. In it were found documents
showing that the house had been used
as recruiting station for the insurgent
army and that large sums in voluntary
contributions had been received and
forwarded to the rebels. A prominent
native OF Angeles, ostensibly friendly
to the Americans, has been found help
ing the insurgents and is now impris-
oned In Manila.
One OF the leading native generals as
serts that the F'ilipinos in the American
lines are all secretly conspiring with
the insurgents. Recent events seem to
Substantiate the truth of this aSser-
tion. They disprove the contention of
Gen. Otis that the majority of the ma
tives hope for the overthrow of Agui-
naldo and that the insurgant army is a
disorganized band of rebels.
The story Of the alcalde OF linus is
very remarkable. Three years ago he
was arrested by the Spanish authorities
as an insurgent and was sent to the
Spanish penal colony at Ceuta, on the
northwest coast of Africa. There he re-
manned until few months ago, when
Spain liberated Its prisoners from the
Philippines and sent them all back to
Manila. On his arrival he was locked up
In Bilibid Jail by the American authori-
ties. though all his conspiring up to that
time had been done against the Span
iards three years before. When Gen.
Lawton and Professor Worcester held
an election in linus to establish local
government the natives elected the
prisoner as alcalde, so that the Ameri-
cans had to release him and put the
civil affairs of linus in his hands.
The censorship continues In full force
in Manila. 1t is we'll understood that
the censorship Is more OF a political
than q military precaution.
The only friendly natives which
found on my recent southern tour were

Washington, Aug. Pa dispatch re-
ceived from Otis was much confused
and the officials are unable to ascer-
tain just who Dato Mundi is. 1t is
thought. however. that he is one of the
smaller chiefs. The text Of the dis
patch is as follows:
"Dato Mundi attacked and de-
feated the insurgents there on the
26th, killing thirty. Under the
Spaniards he supervised the Moros
of the entire southwestern penin-
sula of Minandao island. He vis-
tied Bates at Jolo to give adhesion
to the United States. Bates re-
turned with him to small island
near Zamboanga, when he requested
permission to drive out the insurg-
ents, but was told that troops would
be sent to Zamboanga soon. The
insurgents there offered several
weeks ago to turn over the city on
promise of surrender in case Agui-
naldo was successful in Luzon. The
proposition was declined. Dnto
Mundi Is an able man, educated
abroad and thoroughly loyal to
American interests. Bates leaves

islands. He will soon place troops

John Stuart, the superintendent of the
Chicago and Northwestern railway, was
formerly a telegraph operator at Ho-

found employment in Chicago. At the
time of the great strike, some years ago
he volunteered to take charge of the To-
connective of an important train on the
northwestern road, which he did sue
cessfully. This service attracted the at
tention of the Vanderbilts, who advanc-
ed Mr.. Stuart rapidly, until he was fin
