READY FOR FRIDAYS BATTLE.
,Isffrles and FitzslmmoHA Finish Their
Hard Training.


Hard Training.
San Francisco, July 23.-Jeffries
finished his hard training yesterday.
He boxed eight fast rounds before
large gathering of business men at
Oakland. During the bout Jim nearly
knocked Kennedy out, and the latter
retaliated by landing heavy right
on Jeffries' nose, drawing blood. JEFF.
fries instructed his trainers to give
him a battle, and they did so to the
best of their ability. Jeffries will do
light work for the next few days. He
will take no chances of injuring his
hands and will therefore refrain from
boxing.
Fitzsimmons took a short jaurlt
through the park in the morning and
boxed at the Olympic club in the aft.
ernoon. He spared with two clever
amateurs, and wound up BIZ giving
three fast rounds with Hank Griffin.
Fitzsimmons will confine his work for
the next two days to light gymnastic
work. Both men are ready to enter
the ring.
The betting now stands to l, with
Jeffries on the long end. Visitors are
coming from all parts of the United
States. Up to the present time $4,000
has been taken in for tickets. Inter-
est in the coming battle is on the in.
crease and there is every likelihood
that there will be $4,000 house.

ADMINISTERED WATER CURE.
Lieutenant Cook is Acquitted, as
Filipino Scouts Killed Prisoners
Through Misunderstanding Of Or.
ders-Findings Sent to President.

Washington, July 3.-Secretary
Root yesterday sent to the president
at Oyster Bay the proceedings and
findings in the tourt-martial case Of
Major Edwin i,lenn, Fifth infantry;
Lieutenant Julian E. Jaugot, Eigh-
teenth cavalry, and Lieutenant Nor
man E. Cook OF the Philippine scouts.
Glenn was found guilty OF administer
ing the water cure to natives, or per-
hitting it to be done, and was SEN
fenced to one months suspension
from duty and fined 500. Lieutenant
Cook was acquitted on charge of
giving orders to kill three Filipino
prisoners. The testimony showed
that he had given orders to shoot the
prisoners if they attempted to escape.
The Filipino scouts, to which this or
der was given, thought it meant to
shoot the prisoners.
In forwarding the case to the presi.
dent, the secretary recommends the
sentences and findings be approved,
but no other action; to be taken. It is
believed the president, who is review
ing officer in these cases, will not
make comments, as in the case of
General Smith. 1t is shown in the
evidence and reports that Major Glenn
has performed excellent service and
has done much to pacify the country
where he has been in command.
