Washington, August 31.-Adiutant Cen
eral Corbin has received the following:
"Cartersville, Ga, August Both
General II. G. Corbin, Adjutant Cen
eral Washington.
please say to Surgeon General Stern
berg concerning the reports of i'll treat
ment of my son, Captain Frank f. Cren-
shaw, that he made no complaints of i'll
treatment to the newspaper reporters
He reached Atlanta with a smile on his
face, with his heart full of joy to meet
again his loved ones and those near and
dear to him. l am satisfied that it was
his own desire to leave the preside at
San Francisco and come to Atlanta. The
information as to i'll treatment came
from a passenger on the same transport
that brought my son from Manila. |
will write you later more concerning the
statement made by this passenger. The
statement as to i'll treatment attributed
to my son was made by another to a
newspaper reporter after my sons lips
were closed by the icy hand of death.
Like a true soldier he bore his sufferings
without complaint.

Jeffrles Says the Man Who Loses Must Get
Nothing But Beating.
(By the Associated Press.


Richmond Va, August 31-Jeffries,
the pugilist in an interview here today,
said:
Il will fight Corbett if he is anxious
to have a match but it will have to be
a case of the winner getting everything
and the loser only the beating. That is
the only way to do business
"Fitz can get fight from me when
ever he wants it when he goes about it
properly l would have fought him in
New York if he hadn't waited for the last
few days. l will fight nobody without
time to train in. Let him give me thirty
days and we can find plenty Of places.
The fight could go on in Carson City, or
in California and even at Cincinnati.
GAS for Corbett's present standing in
pugilism, | believe he can give any man
a good fight, for he is very clever. But
do not believe it is in him to get back
to the top Of the ladder Last night
was the first fight he has won in five
years. When he fought Sullivan he
fought an old man with a big stomach.
The men who forced Sullivan to meet
him then should have had their eyc-teeth
pulled out for it,

the foreigners besieged in Pekn and the
members of the relieving force. Officers
say that the besieged sent out alarmist
reports and that the condition of the
foreigners was never one of such extrem-
tiles as the official dispatches reported.
The foreigners, they assert, could have
resisted indefinitely. The besieged ac-
cuse the believers of timidity and of ex-
aggerating the Chinese opposition. They
think a much smaller army might have
made the march and relieved them
months sooner,
The looting at Pekin proceeds indus
triously and openly. The officers Of
every nation except the American ignore
the repressive order, and all the allies
ridicule the Americans for their Austen

Missionary Green of the China In
land Mission, his sister, wife and their
two children who were for some time
held as prisoners by the Boxers near Pao
Ting Flu, were well treated. A company
of Chinese Catholics have held a town

against the Boxers and imperial troops.
The officials have offered large sums for
their capture.

Washington, August 31-The regular
Friday Cabinet meeting was held today.
Only two other subjects beside that of
China, were considered-the condition
of destitute miners at Cape Nome and
of large number of Indian tribes in
Alaska. 1t was decided that the War
Department should send a transport to
Cape Nome to bring back such of the
miners as are penniless and liable to en-
danger the public welfare there this
winter by reason of their destitute con-
dition 1t is believed that large pro-
portion of those who focked to Cape
Nome early in the spring hoping to
'strike it rich are stranded
General Randle estimates that there
are 1000 persons at Cape Nome in dan
ger of starvation. Information received
from several official and unofficial
sources show that the Alaska Indians
along the coast from Cape Nome are
in a serious situation. The Government
has taken hold of the matter, and pro-
visions, clothing and medical attention
through the Marine Hospital Service will
lie forthcoming.

The gates of Pao Ting Flu are kept

and that while Boxers were eating and
their weapons were stacked the imperial
soldiers by his orders fell upon them and
slaughtered all of them.

Atlanta, Ga, August 31-The Grand
Army of the Republic at Chicago We'd
ncsday adopted resolutions condemning
the school books alleged to be used in the
Southern schools as calculated to per-
petuate prejudice against the Federal
Government over the events of the Civil
War"
General John 3. Gordon, commander
in-chief of the United Confederate Vet
1aerans, says he does not believe that any
respectable Southern teacher is know
ingIy using any book that is intended to
perpetuate sectional prejudice in tine
minds of Southern children.
Every movement made by the United
Confederate Veterans and every recon-
mendation made by our historical COM
mittee has been to find and sustain only
such books as gave truth of history
without the slightest tinge of passion or
prejudice against the North or the
South"
Governor Gambler commented rather
forcibly on the matter, saying the affair
was all rot and gotten up for political
effect.
