ANOTHER CHANGE

Champion Will Not Fight Until
Next August.

New York, Nov. 5.-Thomas Sharkey,
in pain and encased in a plaster sup
port, spent to-day quietly in his quar-
ters. He was constantly attended by
his physicians, who ordered him to be
absolutely quiet. The defeated pugilist
was restive and uncomfortable till 4
sleeping powder had been administered
Then he fell into a deep sleep, which
lasted all afternoon.
The burden of Sharkey's talk was
that he wanted to meet Jeffries again
The champion, on the other hand. while
declaring that he was in the hands of

expected to do so.

fight in eight weeks and was going to
post $1,000 forfeit tomorrow. O'Rourke,
his manager, said he was doing his best
to bring the match about.

a bet as well as a forfeit. Sharkey says
he feels all right and can fight at the

not know whether Jeffries and his man

about this
Brady says "Jeffries needs a rest.

The Most Important Expedition of the
Autumn Campaign-Its Destina-
ton Is Supposed to Be
Dagupan.

Manila, Nov. 5, 9 p m.-This evening
fleet of transports and gunboats left
Manila for the most important expedi-
ton of the autumn campaign. Its des-
tination is supposed to be Dagupan, or
some other northern port.
General Wheaton commands bra-
gade consisting of the 18th infantry,
the 33d infantry, two guns of the 9Th
artillery and two Gat1lngs. The trans
PORTS Sheridan, Francisco de Reyes
and Aztec carry the troops, with the
sunboat Helena as escort.
A dispa-Ch boat was sent ahead to
arrange a rendezvous with the United
States cruiser Charleston and the war
ships that are patrolling the northern
coast of Luzon.
1t is assumed here that the purpose
of the expedition Is to move down the
DagupanM Manila railroad towards Tar
lac, in order to prevent AguinaIdo's
forces making another base further
north
Dagupan and Apparri are the strong-
holds of the insurgents in the north.

military experts that Dagupan should
be made base of operations. but suffi-
cient troops have heretofore been lack

Agunaldo may attempt to shift his
headquarters to the rich tobacco coun-
try at the .Vfthern end of the island
1t will be difficult for the insurgents
to escape.
Should the scheduled operations sue
ceed, organized insurrection on large
scale should be at an end early next
spring, although terrible guerilla
warfare is likely to continue for a long
time.
No one anticipates that the insur-
gents will make many hard battles.

A PACIFIC CABLE
Greatly Needed for Military and Indus

Washington, Nov. 6.-The report of
General Greeley says as to a Pacific
cable:
In order to join closer together the
United States and it's Pacific colonies it
is essential to span the Pacific by a
submarine cable, as recommended by
the president to congress in his mes
says of Feb. 10, 1899. The great value
of such a cable is not alone for mill
tary purposes, but more especially for
the fostering of industrial interests n
the new colonies and in order to facil-
itate commercial operations
General Greeley suggests that an in
ternational cable conference should
consider the whole subject of the rights
of cable property in time of war.
