Jefries bout was over last night the two
pugiIists were taken to separate Turkish
bath establishments up town. With two
broken ribs and a lame shoulder. Sharkey
was willing to be assisted in his move
ments and when he and his attendants
reached their destination after n long
ride in cab he was carried into the bath
house and rubbed down. During that op-
Grafton he talked little saying he would
have put Jeffries out if he had not
wrenched his left shoulder in the 18th
round.
1T was like fighting with one arm after
that" he said.
Before coming over from Coney Island
Jeffries was driven to his headquarters
on the Ocean Boulevard where he packed
his grip after which he rode in a coupe
over to the borough of Manhattan lie
remained at the bathing rooms until noon
when he set out for Philadelphia to visit
relatives The champion seemed anything
but pleased over the result of the fight.
He had expected q much easier task.
There is, a big lump on his cheek bone
and slight abrasion on the forehead
between the eyebrows and the skin Of his
nose is badly lacerated. His left arm
which was strained while training is now
almost useless. 1t bothered him during
the last round of last nights fight.

Washington. Nov. 4-Brigadier Gen
eral Ludlow, governor of the city CT Ha-
vana, cabled today to the war depart
ment, stating that he would leave for
Washington today and asking that ar
rargements be made to avoid detention
in quarantine in New York. A dispatch
was sent Dr. Doty, the quarantine Of
fic,r at New York, asking that he facili-
tate General Ludlow's movements as
far as possible. The coming of General
Ludlow at this time is understood to in
volve more than usual interest At the
adjutant generals office it is stated
that the trip is for family reasons and
" i'll be of brief duration. But in other
quarters it is said that General Ludlow
comes at the request of the higher
authorities here and that the confer
enCe he will hold with the president
and Secretary Root is likely to have
considerable bearing on the question OF
appointing a civil governor for Cuba
or a successor to General Brooke as a
military governor.

A Catholic Volunteer Throws Light
on nsFunston-IreIan Controversy.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov 4.-Thomas
Campbell, late of the Thirteenth Min
nesota regiment says the controversy
between General Funston and Archi-
bishop Ireland regarding church desc
Grafton in the Philippines is based on
misunderstanding of the facts. He says
that he himself is a Catholic and that
there were q score or more Catholics in
church relics as did their protestant
Comrades The reason, he says it that
the F'ilipinos themselves had desecrated
the church hes before the United States
troops came. The buildings were loop
holed for small arms and used as store
houses and hospitals, so that the de-
struction of the building became a
strategic necessity. The paraphernaIia
had either to be taken away or suffer
destruction with the building.
