Dal Hawkins went down to defeat be-
fore Perry Queenan last night after one
OF the prettiest nights ever held In Seattle.
The end came with startling suddenness.
Both men were lighting fast and going
strong in the 18th round. when just at
the close Perry caught Dal a terrific blow
in the stomach. The old fighter bent
nearly double and the bell saved him going
out i'm that round. Dal was plainly wor-
ried when he came up for the l4th, but
went TO defeat gamely. Perry carried
the fight right to Dal from the tap OF
the gong and ripped terrific right TO his
body. Hawkins swayed and saved himself
from going to the floor only by spreading
his legs. Queenan was after Lam like
a tiger He sent a long right to the jaw
and followed with right in the same
spot. Dal went TO the floor with a crash
and was counted out.

Captain William Ii. Martin has begun
TO overhaul his pole-masted sloop Astrea
for the coming season at Saunders boat
shop, Warren. The Astrea is one OF the
speedest boats of the size and type I'm
the bay, as was proven i'm various races,
bother In Massachusetts waters and In the
Providence rriver. Much speculation pre-
vailed when the craft was recently pur-
chased as TO who built her and who de-
signed her.
The facts learned upon inquiry about
the Astrea are that she was designed by
George Lswley, Jr., in Boston for
Massachusetts yachtsman. i'm 1886. Mr..
Lawley entered into contract To build
her. but with the season close at hand
and with much in the way OF other boat
work on his hands, he suggested that IL
q good builder was secured he would SUI
pervise the construction. The Astrea was
set up I'm frame In the shops of McManus
of Lynn, Mass. and when finished was
given full sloop rig with an extensive
fore triangle. The rig proved 10 be too
heavy for her, and was cut down to its
present form. She is said TO be a we'll
balanced boat, and will show her heels
10 anything of her type and dimensions
I'm the bay I'm sailing off the wind. She
has done considerable racing at Hull, and
has been I'm use on extensive cruises. She
is 10 feet 10 inches on the water line.

The Brown university team was again
defeated by the Providence league team
yesterday afternoon by the score OF to
on Andrews field. The contest was rath-
er slow and cautious. and not character
ized by particularly brilliant playing.
Neither team seemed to show as much
spirit as the close score would indicate.
Corridor pitched well for Providence and
allowed the collegians only seven hits.
Hall at short was rather erratic. Gray
OF Brown was out Of the game on account
of illness. Capt Paine shifted to second
and placed Belding at first. The latter
made an excellent showing. Leland was
I'm the box for Brown. The leaguers
found him in the fourth for four raps and
scored five runs. Brown lost In this in-
ming. Welch made a costly error which
allowed Hall TO score, and poor work at
guarding bases allowed several steals.

WATCHING
FOR AN
OPENING.
Peace Negotiations Hung Up.
Fears That Conference May
Break OFF Causes Hesitation.

London. April 1.-THE Associated Press
has excellent authority for saying that
up 90 n late hour last night there have
been no definite developments in the mat
ter of tho peace negotiations. The Asso-
ciatcd Press learns that Lord Miner, the
British High Commissioner in South At
rica. has defined certain propositions on
which peace may almost Immediately be
secured, but the cabinet. at its meeting
yesterday. is said TO have disagreed upon
the merits OF Lord Miners terms.
"Sparring for time" best describes the
present status OF the negotiations. neith-
er side being willing 20 risk a decision
which would break off the present confer
.ence. An agreement may be reached at
any moment, but this would more likely
be the result OF semi-independent action
by Lord Miner and Lord Kitchener at
Pretoria, than Of the rather involved con-
ditional decisions OF the cabinet at Lon
don.
The broad lines of Great Britain's terms
are now known 10 the government repre-
sentatives at Pretoria and on these re-
ports the cabinet is apparently shifting
the responsibility of taking the advan-
ldbt ol dll bDppIi llilllltSs HloNlutu no Gar
dinal principles be sacrificed.
The government has ordered the cable
and telegraph lines between London and
Pretoria 10 be kept clear TO insure the
most prompt transmission of Lord Kitch-
eners messages.
There is good reason 10 believe that the
Beers are vigorously demanding a repre-
sentative government and that this de-
mand is opposed with equal vigor by the
British representatives.
1t is understood that the Beers strong
ly object TO the long delay proposed by
Great Britain before "A representative
government be granted the former repub-
lies. and that they also insist on the num-
ber OF Boer seats in the council being
specified.
IL is expected that the cabinet will re-
assemble today 10 discuss the matter fur
ther.
After the cabinet meeting Lord Sails
bury, the premier. had an audience with
King Edward at Buckingham palace and
stayed to luncheon with His Ma3estp- The
latter afterwards went 10 SandrinGham.
Later IL was asserted that the commu-
nication from Lord Miner. considered at
the cabinet meeting, contained the first
clear statement OF the attitude OF the
Boer leaders, who hitherto had not agreed
on the peace terms they would accept
The St lanes Gazette predicts an
early public announcement of the prog
ress OF the peace negotiations The paper
says there is little doubt that II the Brit
ish and Beers arrive at an understanding
on the main points of the proposal peace
will ensue, the banishment proclamation
will be Withdrawn and minor points, like
restocking the farms, will be referred to
a board composed OF British and Boer
Representatives.

POSSIBLE CLUES.
Woman and Boy Think They Saw
Clark Boy In Gypsy Camp.

Saco, Me-, July 17.-Late last night
1t was learned that there was II little
white boy In a camp of gypsles near
the new Old Orchard road whose de-
scription tailed remarkably with those
of the missing Wilbur Clark OF Bev>
erly, Mass. On July 3 Mrs. =. +. Lewis
was driving along the road with some
friends when she noticed little white
boy with short, golden hair. fair skin
and blue eyes In the gypsy camp who
was being whipped by one of the gypsy
girls, who seemed to have some spite
against the little fellow. His appear
ance was SO different from those Of his
dark-hued companions that Mrs. Lewis
attention was Immediately attracted,
and she recognized n remarkable like
ness between this little boy and W ilDur
Clark, In whose case she has been
much interested.
Eddie Blanchette, a little FreDch boy,
whose home Is near the camp of the
gypsies, says that he noticed a little
white boy In the camp tied to tree
and tried to talk with him, but he va s
surrounded by crowd Of the r!pSies
and had no opportunity. The boy had
on light suit of clothes, very llnch
soiled. The camp moved away soon
after Blanchette's experience, but
later returned.
The camp will be searched by local
officers, as will also another camp five
miles from this place.
