Cause of the Failure.

that the reason of the failure to accomplish
the release of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the

posal Of NJ. Gargiulo. dragoman of the
American legation at Constantinople, and
one of the delegates who is attempting to
effect the captives release. but insisted.
against his wish, on sending fifty soldiers
as far as Raslog. The Governor of Raslog
said he had orders not to let the messen-
gers out of sight adding that he would
not allow the money to be paid on Turkish
soil. NJ. Gargiulo thereupon telegraphed
TO COnstantinOple and was ordered TO re-
main where he was, the negotiations mean

KNOCKED OUT BY RYAN.
Green FlOOred in the Seventh Round
with a Right on the Jaw.

KANSAS CITY. Jan. SO.-Tommy Ryan,
of this city, who claims the middle-weight
championship of the world, tonight
knocked out George Green. of San Fran
cisco, in the seventh round of what was
scheduled as a ten-round contest, before a
large audience in Armory Hall. From the
first round, in which Green was forced to
landed, the result was never in doubt.
Ryan was the aggressor throughout, and
Green was at no time able to withstand
the furious rushes of his opponent.
In the first round Ryan made il apparent
that 1t was TO be a fast fight SO far as his
side OF the argument was concerned. Aft
er knocking Green over the ropes with a
hard right in the ribs, he landed again
with his left on Green's jaw with such
telling effect that the latter was forced to
take the count. In the next round Ryan
rained body blows on his opponent, whose
knees for five seconds. Just before the
bell sounded Ryan again knocked his man
through the ropes. Green made the best
showing in the third round, when he land
ed half dozen times. but without any ap-
parent effect on Ryan. In the beginning of
the next round Ryan landed a clean right
handler on the jaw, which knocked Green
down. After this Green was in great dis
tress and ran around the ring to avoid his
opponent. Ryan was waiting now only
10 land knockout, and after two minutes
and twenty seconds in the seventh round,
quick as flash, he landed another right
on the jaw and Green went flat on his
to be carried to his dressing room and re-
viVed with some difficulty.
Ryan announced tonight that he is ready
to fight any middle weight in the world.
