Some Good Preliminaries.

Jack Hayes acted as master of cere-
monies, and announced a preliminary
bout between Silent Rowan and Roy
Condie. Rowan is a very clever boxer,
and some pretty work was done by both
boys. Next came four-round go be-
tween Joe Cotton and Billy Lynott.
Both showed up well in the ring, and
afforded the audience good deal of
amusement. An announcement was
made that Joe Cotton would challenge
the winner, and the Dummy certified
his desire to meet him if successful in
the fight.
w. Holmes of Provo was chosen ref
cree. Cotton, Hayes and Brown acted
as seconds for Francis and Lynott, "Si-
lent Rowan and Plummer acted for
Rowan. John Robinson was official
that if the mill was fake every holder
of a ticket would receive his money
back.
Both Men Were Popular.
Dummy was received with rounds of
applause, but Francis had friends in
the audience also. At the call of time
both men advanced and spared for
some time, but the Dummy soon began
to rush his opponent, a few slight
blows being exchanged. The second
round was in every respect similar,
though Rowan succeeded in getting in
a number of blows they seemed to lack
force, and he was breathing hard at
the end of the round. Francis acted on
the defensive and seemed to be watch
ing his chance to get in his work.
In the third several blows We're ex-
changed, but did not hurt either side.
The Dummy seemed to be nearly ex-
hausted at the end of the round.
Rowan Gets Down to Work.
In the fourth the Dummy seemed to
be recovering his wind, and while he
did most of the leading, Francis be-
gan to get down to business and sew
eral hard blows on the jaws and ribs
were exchanged. The round was de-
cidedly in favor of Rowan.
In the fifth round Rowan made a
number of rushes, but failed to land
his blows. In the clinch the Dummy
landed blow on his opponents jaw
and "Foull'' was yelled by a number
of men. Cotton rushed to the center of
the ring to the assistance of his prin-
cipal, and the referee sent the fighters
to their corners.
In the sixth round there were several
miX-ups, and a number of hard blows
for the jaw and Francis for the wind
The call of time probably saved Fran
els.
The Final Round.
Dummy led off in the seventh in good
style and evidently meant business. He
kept Francis on the move, and while
receiving some punishment gave the
other man the worst of it. After rush
ing Francis about a minute and a half
he got him in the opposite corner. Three
blows were delivered in quick success
sion, left hand blow on the jaw, a
right in the stomach and left on the
jaw The colored man dropped to the
floor and was counted out
Francis was carried to his corner. and
soon recovered. Cotton reiterated his
challenge and offered to fight here to-
morrow evening, and the match will
probably be arranged tomorrow. The
fight was the best ever pulled off in
Mercur. and Dummy stock has risen
materially, and plenty of backing will
be forthcoming for his next match.

GENERAL KINGS VIEW.


San Francisco, June 3. - General
Charles King, U. s. ", was among the
passengers from Manila that arrived
on the City of Puebla. General King,
in an interview regarding the Philip
pine situation, said:
1.-THE situation in the Philippines is
most serious. The people of those is

and there is no telling when hostilities
will cease. They retire to the fast
nesses of the mountains, retreat when
they are whipped and hide in the
jungles. Subsisting on practically
nothing, they have no need of base
Of supplies. 1t will necessitate large
force of men to subjugate them COM
pletely.
"The war in the Philippines is by no
means ended. Their intrenchments
are works of military engineering and
construction, equal to the best the most
civilized military nations have pro-
cured. Under the Spanish regimes the
Filipino learned something of war, and
we are receiving evidence of this every
lay.
1.-The volunteers who fought in the
Philippines are a splendid lot of men,
capable and accomplished fighters.
They behaved like veterans when un-
der fire, and there is no limit to their
courage. Their record in that awful
country will ado-n pages of American
history recently made and yet unwrit-
ten"
