Young Corbett," tonight gained the de-
cision over kid" Broad, of Cleveland, at

round fresh. At no time was there any
time lost, both men being willing to lead
and force the fighting whenever necessary.
The fight tonight is the third time this

the gross receipts, 70 per cent. of which
goes to the winner and % to the loser, and
the featherweight championship of the
world. The first fight between these men
was on March %, 1901. when Broad scored
a clean knockout in the fourth round. On
July &c, 1901, Corbett gained the decision
over Broad in a ten-round fight. On both
these occasions the principals claimed they
had not been in first-class shape Tonight,
however, the boys said they were in fine
fettle. Both men fight in much the same
style and are always anxious to mix up
at close range. They weighed in at 12e
pounds at o'clock this afternoon. The
betting was TO 1 on Corbett. The Colo

anxious to mix it. Corbett landed left jab
on the nose. Corbett put two left jabs on
the ear. They clinched. Broad ducked a
left swing and then put two lefts to Cor

the jaw COrbett put very light left to
the nose and Broad retalated with a stiff
right TO the ribs.
In the tenth round Corbett landed hard
left jab to the nose. Corbett got inside of
two of Broads leads. Corbett was grOggy
after seven hard jabs on the nose, but rail-
lied and came back with right swings to
the nose. They were then fighting fast
and furious at close range. Corbett put a
hard left jab to the nose, and Broad landed
his right on the wind. Corbett missed a
right swing and then landed left jab, but
Broad countered with his right and left.
Corbett came back strong and landed two
savage left jabs on the nose as the round
closed.
The referee decided Corbett had won the
battle The crowd was divided as to the
justice of the decision, many holding that
Broad was entitled to draw.

NO INJUSTICE DONE.


WASHINGTON, May 23-The Senate
committee on the Philippines to-day made
public petition presented by Miss Clemen-
cia Lopez, a sister OF Sixto Lopez, TO the
President for the release of three of her
brothers of the province of Batangas, who
have been taken into custody by General
Bell and sent to the Island of Talim, where,
she says. they undergoing great hard
ships Miss Lopez is in Boston, and her
petition is dated there March 10 last The
text of the petition covers several printed
pages, but the facts and also the plea made
by Miss Lopez are summarized in the fol-
lowing:
Three of my brothers-Lorenzo. Cipria-
no and Manuel LOpez-are prisoners In the
Island of Talim, all the property of my
family has been seized and We are almost
destitute. Against two OF my brothers
there is no definite charge, nor have any
My other brother. Cipriano, is accused
without evidence of having concealed fifty
guns which he surrendered with his troops
in March, 1901. Moreover, four superin-
tendents of our estates have been arrested
and have been inhumanly punished to
make them give up these supposed guns.
My family has always been friendly with
the American officials, my Oldest brother
Mariana having rendered them valuable
service in pacifying several provinces, and
our town of Balayan is the only per-
Batangas. The authorities in the Philip
pines have refused to hear us, and there
fore because of such great injustice / have
come directly to you, Mr.. President, to beg
of you to give us justice"
She says that when the superintendent
of the estates were arrested they were
cruelty beaten, one of them dying a re-
suit of the blows inflicted by the soldiers.
Among the papers is a report of the case
by Charles +. Magoon, law officer of the
division of insular affairs of the Philippine
islands, War Department, who recommend
ed that the petition be not granted for the
following reasons:
"First-That under the conditions exist
Brgadier General Bell, in the instance un-
der consideration, exercised a lawful au-
thOrity in a lawful manner.
'Second-That the showing made by the
papers filed herein is not sufficient to over
throw the presumption that the action
taken by officers in Batangas was warrant
ed by the facts and the necessities of the
military situation"
The Presidents position in the matter
is made known through the following note
from Secretary Cortelyou to Miss Mabel
Bayard Warren, of Boston, under date of
April %: THE President has received your
note of the I'D inst and requests me to
say in reply that he has gone carefully
of which you write, having been in corre-
spondence with the authorities at Manila
and in consultation with Governor Taft
here, and that he does not think anything
can properly be done He will see Secre-
tary Root on his return from Cuba, but
there appears to be a consensus that no in
justice was done"
