GARDNER WHIPS SMITH,
Los Angeles Man Counted Out in tho
Sixth Round

New York, Feb. Oscar Gardner,
the Omaha Kid" defeated Solly Smith
of Los Angeles, very easily in six rounds
at the Lenox Athletic club tonight.
Smith was very unsteady on his feet
from the opening round and seemed to
be unusually wild. Some persons
thought that he was under the influence
of some drug, but those close to his cor
ner were unable to say whether this.
was so or not. Gardner was not in the
best Of condition either, but he fought
remarkably well and outclassed his op-
ponent from the first tap of the bell
In the sixth round Smith went down
four times and as he was going down
the last time Oscar sent a right smash
to the jaw which did not land until
Smith was on his knees. Smith rolled
over on his back and his seconds kept
yelling foul and many of the specta-
tors took up the cry. The blow was on
its way as Smith was going and could
not be held back by Gardner, who had
no intention of fouling. Referee White
decided that no foul had occurred and
decided in Gardner's favor.

4 REPORT ON CUBA.


Washington, Feb. 7-Assistant Sec
retary Of War Meiklejohn to-day gave
out an extract of the report of Rober
| P. Porter, special commissioner to Gu
ba, to the secretary of the treasury, or
the commercial and Industrial condi.
| tions there Mr. Porter says that in tht
province Of Santiago may be seen ir
! full operation the work which the Unit
ed States has been impelled to under
take. Here, too, may be studied the
character of the forces upon which this
country must rely in the work of recon-
ment, he says, is running with a fair
degree of smoothness and the officials
are masters of the situation. 1t is a
striking illustr alton, continues Mr.. Por-
ter, of the marvellous adaptability of
the American character. The campaign
against dirt and, disease in Santiago
City, has been as sharp and hot as the
charges on San Juan hall and as pro-
ductive Of beneficial results. Looking
backward five months and picturing
Santiago in July and comparing it with
the conditions existing to-day it is easy
to discern the omens which point to the
coming prosperity of the whole island
under intelligent and honest govern
ment.
Mr.. Porter thinks it would be a great
stroke of wisdom to hereafter use the
municipal taxes exclusively for local
purposes, especially upon the streets of
pended would come back a hundred
fold and make Santiago one of the rich
est sugar and fruit growing districts Of
the West Indies. The internal and mis-
cellaneous taxes so far have been re-
mitted but the authorities are now pre-
pairing to collect them in this part of
the island Mr.. Porter suggests that
an immediate scheme should be prepar-
ed for collecting internal revenue taxes
for the entire island. A two-thirds per
cent. Of Cuban customs will afford a
relief to the starving.
Methods of local administration diff
fer so greatly In different provinces,
Mr.. Porter says, that the wisdom of
having governor for each province is
undoubted AS much latitude as pos
sible, he adds, should be given these
people. The fewer the references to
Havana the sooner the people will real
ize the difference between Spanish pos
session and American occupancy. Mr..
Porter recommends that the harbor of
Santiago be cleared of all impedinlents;
= irL ;,, al !,
stored and Diamond shoals be dredged
to at least twenty-five feet, and that a
large covered pier be constructed. He
also says that the port Of Santiago
should be widened.

TWELVE NEW WaRSHJPS.
Naval Committee of House Already
Agreed Upon This Number.


washington, Feb. THE naval COM
mittee of the house after an extended
session to-day reached a conclusion as
to the important items. In all twelve
new warships are agreed to and three
more are under consideration. The
committee has followed the recommen-
dations Of the secretary Of the navy,
and has passed upon the second and
fourth classes Of new ships recommend
ed. These are: Three seagoing battle
ships of about 1880 tons displacement,
carrying the heaviest armor and most
powerful armament of vessels of their
class; three armored cruisers of about
10000 tons, each carrying the heaviest
armor and most powerful armament of
vessels of their type, to cost, exclusive
of armor, etc, $4,O00,000 each; six cruis-
ers of about $500 tons each, of high
speed, good cruising qualities and most
powerful ordnance suited to vessels Of
that type, to cost $1,730,00O each.

THE KEEEY MOTOR.


Boston, Feb 1T is reported here
that some new and important develop
ments in the Keely motor are expected
to come to light within a week. One
Of the parties interested said to-day
that T. Burton Kinraide, the present
custodian of the Keely machines, di-
rectly after the recent so-called expose
wrote statement of the case for the
directors, giving his true connection
with the affair and some other opinions
concerning the exposure, 1t Is the
belief on the part of those who are best
informed in the matter that Mr.. Kin
raide has not had sufficient time in
which to make a true estimate as to
the real value of the machine. The di-
rectors have decided to come to Boston
and with Mr. Kinraide look into the
minutest details of the working of the
machine.

from Paris and Hong Kong.
Montreal, Feb. 7.-Agoncillo was kept
pretty busy to-day. He received about
q score of kilograms from Paris and
Hong Kong and spent some time with
his secretary replying to them. He re-
fused to discuss their contents at all.
In regard to the fighting he was almost
equally taciturn. "How can I say any
thing about it, he said, having moth
ing to guide one as to the real state of
events beyond the newspaper reports. 1t
is absolutely impossible for me to COM
municate with my people from Hong
Kong to Manila because the Americans
control the service He is following in
the footsteps of Caranza and his Span
ish spy system and has now little de-
tectlve force of his own. The American

him and his secretary for some time are
now being followed and shadowed in re-
turn By two men in the employ OF the

4NTI-IMPERILIST LEAGUE
Thanks Again Extended Senators That
Opposed the Treaty.

Boston, Feb. 1.-THE executive COM
mittee of the anti-Imperialist league to-
day voted to extend it's hearty congrat-
ulations to the senators of the United
States who voted or who were paired
against the ratification of the treaty
between the United States and Spain
on the sixth day of February, 1899, thus
showing that they were true to the
principles of the republic; unmoved by
unreasoning clamor; mistaken by the
untoward occurrence Of the previous
day, and that they preferred patriotism
to partisanship. The committee sim
cerely believes that the progress of
events will soon convince the people of
the country of the wisdom of this act Of
these senators, and that impartial his
tory will justify their course.

merly postmaster at Stony Creek, in the
town of Branford, New Haven county,
was arrested by United States Marshal
Bishop to-day and brought here. He
was later given a hearing before United
States Commissioner Burnham on a
charge alleging a shortage in the money
order department amounting to $461.S7.
said shortage having been discovered in
December last. He waived examination
and was held in $4,000 bonds for trial

A CHAIR IN HYGIENE.
One to be Established at Harvard with
Liberal Endowment.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. Tt was an
nounced to-day that through the gen.
erosity of friend of Harvard, whose
name is withheld, a professorship in
hygiene is to be established with lib
eral endowment which in time will yield
an annual income larger than any sal
airy now given to professor in the uni
versity. The new professor is to be not
only a teacher, but a general practi-
toner of high attainments, whose ser
vices will be at the disposal Of all the
students. For some time there has been
at the university young doctor known
as a medical visitor whose business it
has been to report all cases of illness
and to see that they had proper medi-
cal care. His function has, however,
been one of health officer. The new
professorship will hereafter ensure to
the poorest student the best medical
advice and treatment. The gift Of the
endowment has apparently come as a
response to a statement of the need
contained in President Eliot's annual
report, which appeared last week.

GOUNOD SOCIETY CONCERT.
A Grand Musical Success Well Assure

| Grand Musical Success Well Assured.
The last regular rehearsal of the
Gounod society before the concert on
Thursday was held last evening under
| Mr. Agramonte. The Republican club
hall was overflowed with spectators,
who were most enthusiastic over the
brilliant prospects for the big event. The
grandeur of Stanford's Requiem Mass
Is beginning to be apparent now to all
who have attended the rehearsals. The
ehoruses are without exception beautiful
and thrilling in the extreme, and the
work is so magnificently scored for the
full modern orchestra that the claim
made for it that it is the greatest mass
in all musical literature hardly seems
overstated. The success of the Gounod
society in it's rendering is assured and
will add much to it's already we'll earned
renown. No one should fail to hear this
marvellous work. The Symphony Or
chestra will assist and the solo parts
will be sustained by probably the best
quartette for oratorio work the society
has ever brought here. Miss de Treville,
as soprano, everyone knows about, as
she is one of the best known singers
in New York and Boston and an i'm
mense favorite with the general public.
She is a young artist of magnetic per-
sonality and a beautiful voice. Miss
Edith j. Miller is a singer Of rare prom
Use and is said to be without a rival
among church contraltos. Evan Will
liams, tenor and Herbert Witherspoon,
the bass, are most favorably known
here, and the former is unquestionably
at the head of American oratorio tenors.
The programme ON Thursday evening
will further consist of Goring Thomas
lovely cantata, "The Swan and the Sky
lark" for chorus, orchestra and the
same quartette of soloists. This work
is in sharp contrast to the sublinity of
the mass, and with it's flowing melodies
will bring the concert to delightful
close. Seats are now on sale at the Hy-
perion and every one Is urged to make
an early purchase.
There will be a full dress rehearsal
on Thursday at the Hyperion at p. m.
for soloists, chorus and orchestra when
both works will be carefully gone over
for the last time This rehearsal will be
private and the general public will not
be admitted. Members of the chorus
must show their membership cards at
the door before entering.

FORWARD MOTEMFNT ON ILOILO.
Quite Probable Now-General Miller
Able to Take Place.

washington, Feb. IA forward
movement is probable at Iloilo, where
General Miller has been for weeks, ly-
ing in front of the town in his trans
ports. He has never had any doubt of
his ability to take the place whenever
he got the word, but there has been a
restraining influence from Washington,
based in part on the hope that the in
eurgents could be brought to peaceful
retirement from the town and an ap-
prehension that an effort to force a
landing might result in serious injury
to foreign interests. Now, however, 1t
is felt that the latter are perhaps more
in jeopardy from continuance OF the
existing state of affairs than they
would be through rapid seizure of the
town.
General Miller now has with him the
Eighteenth infantry and battalion OF
artillery, and it is likely that he will be
strongly reinforced before the attempt
is made to take Iloilo. Naval officers
have watched with pride the achieve
ments of the naval vessels during the
recent fighting, and they were gratified
when Secretary Long this afternoon
sent the following telegram: dewey,
Manila: Congratulations. (Signed)
Long"
Secretary Alger this morning sent the
following cablegram to General Otis al
Manila: Accept my best congratula-
tions upon your magnificent victory of
Sunday, all the more creditable because
Won were not the aggreSSor (Signed)
Alger.'

THE M'ENERY RESOLUTION.


Washington, Feb. For two hours
or more the senate to-day had the Nc
Emery resolution declaratory of the pol
icy of this government in the Philip
pines under discussion, but no vote was
reached and the resolution went finally
to the calendar. Inquiry about the SEN
ate regarding the McEnery resolution
developed the fact that no resolution is
likely to pass just now, though there
may be no objection later. 1t is under
stood the administration believes it
would be inexpedient to pass resolutions
while the strained relations exist be-
tween the United States and the insur-
gents at Manila.

THE SITUATION AT MANILA
AMERIC1N RECONNOIT PAR
TF AITACK DINAJU1GLE.
Lieutenant Killed and Six Men
Wounded-Two Companies, Sent Out
asa Relief, Drive the FiIiplnos Into
Coloncan-Outskirts of the Town
Burned.

Manila, Feb. s, 10 a. m.-Lieutenant
Afford T. Ford. Co. I, Goth Kansas in
fantry, was killed and six other men,
bers of the regiment were wounded near
Calaocan, last evening, while recon-
noitering. The party was in a jungle
when it was attacked by the enemy.
Two companies of the Kansas regiment
was sent to the relief of their COM
rades and drove the Filipions into Ca
laocan. General Otis finally recalled
the troops, but the natives, misunder-
standing the retreat failed to take ad-
vantage of it. The outskirts of the
town were burned.
There are many indications that Ma
nila is full of desperados, who intended
to cooperate with Aguinaldo. The po-
lice are continually capturing men and
women with weapons concealed in their
clothing. The vigilance Of the authori-
ties in this respect is highly reassuring.
Last Saturday about midnight two
Englishmen encountered a gang of
armed natives in a dark side street.
The natives, fearing discovery, impris-
oned them until morning and threaten
ed to kill them unless they maintained
silence.
Many native clerks, employed by mer-
camille houses, are missing. AS it is int-
possible that they should have passed
the lines, the inference is that they are
hiding in the city. Several attempts
were made to assassinate Americans on
the streets, but that danger is now at
minimum. The natives are terribly
cowed; and the precautions taken es-
pecialiy against incendiarism are admir-
able. The rebels, who have been swept
in every direction, like pheasants in a
battue, die by the hundreds in the
trenches-for the most part passively,
except the Ygorotes, who charge des-
perately and uselessly. The rebel pris-
oners declared that their attack was un-
premeditated, that the outposts fired
and then everybody followed in accord
ance with sort of general understand
ing.
