Saturday. took place at Cavite with
appropriate naval ceremonies. The
officers Of the feet were present, and
the flags on all the vessels were at

The sudden death Of Captain Nichols
was particularly sad because 1t &C.
Cured Just at the moment when the
result for which he had hoped and
worked for months was about to be re-
alized-the capture OF Paranaque and
its occupation by the American forces.
The Monadnock has been lying of Par
anaque for two months past. under fire
from the rebels almost daily. The heat
here has been intense. and the officers
and men Of the monitor suffered great
ly. The commander in chief offered to
retire the ship from this trying duty
and replace her by another ship, but
Captain Nichols preferred to remain,
declaring that he did not want to leave
his post until Paranaque fell and the
coast from there to Cavite was cleared
of rebels.
The heat Saturday was most severe
and the monitor was engaged all day
in Smelling the trenches at Paranaque
and the rebels fleeing south through
Las Pinas and also watching the Amer
lean troops closing in upon the towns.
Captain Nichols was overcome by the
| heat at noon and retired to his cabin,
| where he received frequent reports of
the operators and gave directions for
several hours. He became much worse
| at 3 o'clock, lost consciousness and ex-
pired at in the afternoon Several
| hours before his death he expressed
| qualification at the way events were
progressing, remarking to an officer:
I'VE have the rebels there at last"

Two Bold Swindiers.
Louisville, KY, June S.-The German
Insurance bank Of this city was VIC
timized out of $1,000 by two we'll
dressed young men, who worked a neat
game. Just before the hour for closing
the bank assistant cashier Of the Ger
man Insurance bank was rung up by
telephone and asked IL he could accom-
modate the Citizens National bank
with 5000 in currency. On being an
swered in the affirmative the inquir-
ing party said he would send two men
around to get the money.
Shortly afterward two young men
appeared at the bank with a check for
5000, bearing the supposed signature
Of the cashier Of the Citizens National
hank. The assistant cashier, suspecting
nothing was wrong, counted out the
money to the young men, who were pro-
fuse in their thanks as they accepted It.
When the check reached the clearing
house 1t was discovered to be forgery.
The police are working diligently on
the case.

Jeffries Knocks Hin Out in the Eleventh
Round of the Fight.


Coney Island, June Thames j. JEFF
fries is now the worlds champion
heavy weight pugilist. After eleven
fiercely fought rounds in the Coney ISL
and club he wrested the championship
from Bob" Fitzsimmons with a clean
Knockout. Fitzsimmons, as he frank
ly admitted after the battle, found his
opponent too big and strong for him.
Time and again a blow from his oppo-
nent knocked him down, and when it
was all ended he had no excuses to
make. "Jeffries is the best man have
ever met" was the way he put it,
Jeffries, who even his warmest
friends feared might be vanquished
through stage fright" owing to his
lack of ring experience, suffered little.
He said. after George Siler, the referee,
had declared him to be the worlds
champion, that only one of Fitzsim-
mons blows had hurt him. Jeffries.
perfect Hercules, who had been out
pointed early in the fight, showed his
great recuperative powers later, and,
while the champion followed him up
closely and tried to land a decisive
blow, he received 1t himself. and the
Californian was hailed as champion by
5000 maddened spectators. Flush to
Fitzsimmon's jaw shot Jeffries awful
left. The champion was stunned. His
mighty arms fell little from their true
position. In an instant Jeffries' right
shot across and the mighty Fitzsim-
mons was down and out.
He fell on his face. rolled over on his
side and then slowly upon his back. His
lanky form stiffened and his arms lay
wide open on the floor. Bleeding and
unconscious he lay on the canvas where
his good right arm had sent many a
man before him. He was practically
down twice in the tenth round. Fitz-
simmons went to the floor four times in
all, and he was often bathed in his own
blood. but the chief of police sat
through it as it was predicted he would.
until the heart-broken seconds carried
Fftzsimmons from the ring and brought
him back to sepsibility

"Artful Dodgers"
LAwTON'S CAMPAIGN IN CAvITE.

Rebels Driven from Trench After Trench
and from All the Important Towns
Between 800 and 400 of Them Killed
Americans Lose Four Killed-Details of
the Death of Commander Nichols of the
Monitor Monadnock.
Manila. June 12.-General Lawton's
campaign in the province of Cavite has
been characterized by the brilliancy and
dash which has marked all that off,
GERS movements. The rebels were driv-
en- from trench after trench, and from
all important towns. Whenever they
made a stand they were beaten with
heavy loss. 1t is estimated that they
lost from 300 to 400 men in killed and
wounded. The American loss, as off,
cially reported, was four killed and thir-
fered severely from the heat, and
number of the men who were Frustrated
from this cause were brought back to
Manila. The Colorado troops, who did
excellent work with Lawton, have re-
turned to Manila. They were tired,
ragged and hungry. but happy over the
results of their work. The regulars, un
der Lawton, remain at Paranaqua and
Las Pinas. ready for further fighting.
Filipinos Are "Artful Dodgers"
The facility with which the rebels
slip from the Americans is due to their
thorough knowledge of the country, and
a trick they have Of concealing their
arms and slipping into the white clothes
which the peaceable natives wear.
"Artful dodgers is the way the Amer
leans dub them. The officers declare
the rebels will play their trick once too
often and expect to bag them In
punches in the near future. The under
standing here Is that the rebels will be
given no rest during the rainy season
and that the fighting will be pressed
whenever possible. General Lawton
shows an utter fearlessness in the fight
ing and Is always near the fighting line.
His aids have begged him to be more
careful, but without avail. The rebels
have had a number of fair shots at
him, but each time Lawton escaped by q
narrow margin. His example is in
spring to the men. as their lighting
shows.
