PHILIPPINE HEMP CROP.
war Department Issues Statement
in Answer to Inquiries,

in Answer to Inquiries.
Washington. April lin answer to
hundreds of inquiries which have
reached the war department relative
to the prospects of the Philippine hemp
crop, the following statement has been
made:
The bureau of insular affairs REPORTS
that there has been some delay in get
ting the hemp crop of the province of
Albay to the two chief shipping points
OF the province, Legaspi and Tabaco.
Earnest efforts are being made by the
1nsular government to repair roads
and facilitate transportation, but it is
not thought that the outbreak of la
dronism will seriously affect the sit
uatlon, as the governor of the province
OF Albay has reported to Governor
Taft that the output of hemp in March
will be little in excess of February
and that the indications for April are
for small output, due in part to a.
disturbed condition in the western part
OF the province, but chiefly to the
drought prevailing there.
Should this condition continue dur
ing April the output will be seriously
affected. but the southwest monsoon
in April usually brings rain, which
would save the hemp crop. Should the
drought continue, next years crop will
be about one-half of this years pro-
duCtiOn.

VI "ohSSiICSiO.
Vienna, April 1.-The news from the
Balkans is causing uneasiness in Of
fetal circles here The situation is
considered to be graver than a few
weeks ago. Two particularly signifi-
cant reports have been received. The
first, that the car had presented to
the Prince of Montenegro eight bat
teries Of quick-fring, small calibre
guns. with ammunition, and the Sec
ond that Russia has addressed an
other warning messages to Bulgaria.
In his autograph letter to the Prince
OF Montenegro, the car writes that the
gift is intended as a proof of Russia's
Friendship for Montenegro in whose
independence all the Slav peoples are
deeply interested.
The cars gift recalls his recent
present to Servia of 100000 cart
ridges
With regard to Russia's message to
Bulgaria, it is said to have been in
spired by the unfavorable reports re-
ceived from the Russian consuls in
Macedonia regarding the attitude Of
the Christian population toward the
Turks, and is taken as an explanation
Of the recall Of the Daneff ministry.

George Harding the club timekeeper.
who counted McGovern out, stated
after the fight that the blows that
knocked McGovern out were left and
right swings on the jaw and a right
uppercut on the chin. Harding said
McGovern was in dazen condition:
that when he had counted nine he mo-
toned him to get up, but McGovern
was too confused to notice and was
unable to rise At the count of ten
McGovern started to rise but it was
100 late and the referee awarded the
fight to young Corbett."
McGcvern Completely Out.
Harding said that McGovern was
completely out and that it was a mercy
to him that he was unable to get up.
Corbett was strong and ready, and had
McGovern risen to his feet, he prob
ably would have been seriously hurt.
AS it was. it was nearly a minute after
McGovern had been carried to his
corner before he was able to sit up or
understand what had happened. The
men in McGovern's corner claimed
mat the decision was an outrage.
Ihey said McGovern had been in
structed to fight cautiously, and when
ne was knocked down he was to take
the full count, and that McGovern
obeyed his instructions. They claim
mat, at the count of ten, he was on
his feet and, although dazed, knew
what he was doing. They also claimed
that he had plenty of fight in him and
would have lasted the rest of the
round.
Harding's position in counting Me-
Govern out was sustained by "Chalky"
Roberts, another timekeeper. Paddy
sullivan, the third timekeeper, was
very much In favor Of McGovern and
commended that the count, as accepted
by the referee, was wrong. Referee
Graney's decision seemed to meet
with the approval of most of the spec-
tators, as McGovern was apparently
thoroughly beaten.
Corbett's Way Of Winnino.
"It was my way of winning the
fight" said Young Corbett," after
the fight. "I fought cautiously in
every round and felt McGovern weak

and sent him back against the ropes.
He dropped his hands to his side,
which was sure signal to me that I

put rights and lefts to head and Jaw,
and was forced to fight myself free in
the clinch. The final blow was a
right uppercut to the jaw that put
NcGovern to the floor for the full
count. Even had he been able to re-
gain his feet before the count of ten
l would have had him out, as he was
absolutely unable to defend himself.
At no time in the contest was con
fused or discouraged. And to say
that l won the fight unfairly is a
great injustice to me. McGovern is
certainly the next best man in world

the right uppercut to the chin dazed
me and I took the count in order to
save myself. I could have gone on
with the battle and would, think,
have rega1ned the championship. I
guess it is all up with a fighter when
he goes in, wins a contest and is then
robbed Of the decision. I sincerely
hope that some club will match us
again and then you will hear differ
ent story"
BY $3.50 o'clock when the contestants
in the first preliminary entered the
ring, the big amphitheater was packed
with cheering, impatient crowd.
Outside drizzling rain was falling,
but this did not dampen the enthu-
siasm of the crowd, which stretched
for half block on either side of the
door and even blocked the street in
front. It was estimated at that time
that nearly 1900 people were inside
the hail. the biggest crowd that ever
saw fight in San Francisco.
Corbett just balanced the scales at
127 pounds in the afternoon. while Nc
govern was few pounds lighter
The referee had to warn McGovern
for hitting too low in one or two in
stances.
It was fierce, rapid battle, with lit
tie to choose between the fighters, and
in the tenth round for a moment Nc
Govern trembled on the verge of vic
tory. Corbett recovered, however, and
the golden opportunity of the Brooklyn
man had passed forever.
The eleventh and final round fol-
lows:
Fatal Eleventh Round.
Round 1.-THE men went into a
5iinch Immediately. Corbett missed
lett hook and got a hard left on the
eye. He uppercut heavily with right
to stomach. McGovern forced, but
Corbett ducked his left and sent in a
terrific right to the ribs and a second
later a left to the Jaw and a left to
the eye. Corbett rushed and slipped
down, but he got up Immediately. Nc
Govern put in right hard to the ribs
and both men slipped down. Corbett
put left on McGovern's jaw and Ter
ry was nearly out. Corbett, seeing
McGovern's distress, rushed and, get
ting McGovern in neutral corner,
swung right, left and right to the Jaw.
McGovern's knees wobbled and his
head sank. Corbett, steadying him.
self, swung his right squarely on Nc
| Governs jaw and the little Brooklyn
fighter went squarely on his back. his
head striking the floor with thud.
He lifted his head at the count of
three, turned over and looked at the
tlmekeepers, his eyes CLASSY and roll
ing. AS the timekeeper called seven
he attempted to get on his feet, but
he was unable. Just after the time
keepers called ten McGovern dazed
and clearly gone, got to his feet. But
he was an instant too late. Referee
Graney swung his hands in the air as
signal that the fight was over and
that Corbett had retained the cham
pionship.

were bound over to the next term of
tne superior court, under bonds Of
$z,Voo each, probable cause having
oeen found by Judge Peasley The
remaining thirteen prisoners will be
arralgned in court today.
The surprise of the hearing was the
announcement made by the attorneys
for the defense at the conclusion Of
Wlnnegar's trial that they put in no
defense, Prosecuting Attorney Durant
having previously warned them that
the testimony in the first case would
apply to the other four men.
A portion of the testimony of all
the witnesses which caused consider
aple comment was the statement that
they had been promised immunity
from punishment by Colonel Burpee
and others provided they told what
they knew about the assault.
One of the witnesses, Thomas Ken
ney, testified to being with Ryan, Kel-
~, Bally and Witty, four of the men
arrested, on the night of the assault.
There were nineteen men in the party
and they went up the car tracks.
Kenny admitted that he had told De-
tectlve John w. Rogers that they were
going up the track to "do up a couple
or scabs," and that when they receiv-
ed orders they placed handkerchiefs
over their faces. Then went along
and lay down near the switch until
Che car arrived. It was all over in a
few minutes, he said, but he did not
see any of the men in question get on
the car. He said also that he heard
either Thomas Quinn or Costello say:
I'VE are going to trim the scabs" He
did not see the fight because the lights
| IN the car went cut.
