OTHERtIGHT ADRAW

Hartford, Conn, April 19.-Patsy
Sweeney had a cakewalk in his fight
with Lawlor. He put Lawlor away in
the third round after making a chop
ping block of the Worcester man. Law
lor was the easiest kind of a thing
that ever came down the pike. Sweeney
punched him at will. Lawlor could not
land single effective blow.
In the first round Sweeney tired out
Lawlor. In the second he smashed the
Worcester man to the floor. After one
minute, thirty-eight seconds fighting in
the third round, Sweeney swung 4 left
hook on Lawlor's chin and Lawlor fell
on his face. He was counted out and
carried to his corner.
Lawler had no business to fight with
Sweeney. He did not hit the latter
once. They fought before the Nutmeg
Athletic Club for a purse of 5000 and
a stake of $1,000. The bout was TO go
Is rounds. The men weighed in this after
noon. Lewler was under 1875 Sweeney
moved the beam, but did not send it up.
Sweeney did good fighting. In open
ing round Lawler struck his first jab.
It fell short He never got any

ness with a light left jab on the face.
Sweeney pushed in three hard ones,
and Lawler got in one good right on
the body. Sweeney jabbed Lawler four
lefts in the face and sent him 10 the
ropes.
The Worcester contingent saw Law
Ter was up against it for fair. Sweeney
had played with LaWler in the first
round as he showed in the second. He
opened with a right swing on LAWYER S
head, that made Lawler see all kinds
Of pretty colored lights; ducking Law
ler's wild swings, Sweeney cracked him
a vicious punch in the face.
He slammed a straight left on Law
ler's face and a right on the head, and
Lawler went down. He smashed Law
Ter against the rope right and left. -Four
times Lawler went down, but he got
up each time to take it, He got it.
Lawler was groggy at the end Of the
round and was saved by the bell.
Sweeney opened the third with a
right on the jaw, Lawler swung a good
right on Sweeney's body, the only
good blow he landed in the fight. Swee-
ney shot in right on LAWYERS wind,
doubling him up. AS he came forward,
Sweeney brought up left hook which
caught Lawler on the point of the chin,
and his pipe went out. His seconds,
Joe Flaherty, Jim McGoVern and Hen
ry Sweeney, carried him to his corner.
He was not unconscious. He recov-
cred in a moment, and told The Spy
man he did not win because he could
not hit Sweeney. Sweeney seconded
Dave Sullivan in the latter's bout.

refused to break clean. This helped
him considerably The men were

Attempt to Force Investigation of Plat Side
tracked.

Albany, N. Y, April BIN the as
sembly today, Mr.. Hamburger Of New
York endeavored to introduce a reso-
luton urging Mazet investigation COM
mittee to proceed into the acts
of Senator Plat and his sons
and their legal firm, to show
how enormously interested they
have been in lobbying through and APP
pearing as counsel for interested par
ties. But Mr.. Kelsey of Livingston,
who was acting as the majority leader,
objected to its introduction, and it was
returned 80 the introducer unread.
Mr.. Greene of New York raised the
point of order that the resolution should
be read for information of the House,
but the chair ruled the point or order
not well taken. The resolution also re-
quested the Investigating committee to
compel the presence of Tracy Buard-
man and Plat and Ellihu Root to bring
books and papers to show how much
money was expended in their efforts to
secure the passage of the Astoria gas
bill

Barcelona, Spain, April 19.-El Diario,
eulogizfng the Spanish garrison--con-
sisting of captain, two lieutenants, a
doctor and AZ men-who had been de-
tending Baler against the Filipinos,
says: Gen. Rios recently sent Capt.
Olmaco Olmedo to order the garrison to
evacuate as Baler no longer belonged
to Spain.
"Olmedo, after great difficulties, only
got within so metres of the house in
which the Spaniards were fortified. He
managed, however, to deliver his in
structions; but the garrison continued
to fire from the fortified quarters and
Capt Olmedo was compelled to return
to Manila without reply"

Bryan and Other Noted Speakers.

New York, April 19.-The second of
the lone dollaT'' dinners, that under
the auspices of the worKingmen, was
held tonight at the Grand Central Pal
ace. The dinner was not as largely at
tended as the one given by the Chica
go platform democrats in the same
place on the preceding Saturday night,
about 1900 men and women being pres
ent. The striking difference between
these dinners was the seating of the
where they would be plainly visible to
everybody in the hall. Back of the
speakers, painted on a large canvas,
was the following: "A system of polit-
ical economy will yet dawn which will
perform as well as promise; which will
rain the riches of nature into the laps
of the starving poor"

DETAILS OF AMBUSH.
No Trace Ofthe Boat or the Crew That Tanned

Manila, April 19.-The story of the
disappearance of Lieut. Gilmore and IA
members of the Yorktowns crew is as
follows: The Yorktown anchored last
Saturday off Baler, on the east coast
of the island of Luzon and about 200
miles from here, where there was a
Spanish garrison of about 50 men,
which had been defending itself against
several hundred Filipinos for months
past. Lieut.. Gilmore, Ensign w. II.
STANDBY and boats crew were sent
up the river from Baler bay to com
municate with the Spaniards, the town
of Baler being situated some distance
inland. Ensign STANDBY, who landed
at the mouth of the river, reports that
he heard three volleys, a bugle call and
cheers from up the river but that the
automatic gun which was part of the
equipment of the boat, was not heard
firing. Standby later padded to the
Yorktown in a canoe.
A search was afterwards made for
the YorktoWn's boat and her crew, but
no trace of them was found, and the
Yorktown sailed for Iloilo. from which
place her commander cabled to Ad-
miral Dewey his theories that the Fill
ipinos had captured or sunk the boat
or that the Spaniards had rescued the
American party. A scouting party Of
American troops, this morning, found
an insurgent skirmish line more than
mile long east of Malolos. A sharp
fusilade followed, but no losses were
sustained.
Brig. Gen. Chas. King, who has been
taken sudGA9 ly i'll and who is unable
to continue in command Of his brigade,
has been relieved of further duty and
has been ordered to return 10 the Unit |
ed States on the first transport sailing
from here for home.
