YOUNG CORBETT SHOWS
Up IN HIS TRUE FORM
His Late Performances in Philadel-
phia Discussed.

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-Those who
couldn't see, last winter, how Young
COrbett managed to defeat McGoyern
are having a good chance TO find out
now Within the last Ave days the
featherweight champion has met and
Knocked out two men in this city. Both
victories have been Of the cleanest pos
sible description. Maynard did not stay
= round: O'Neil went down from one OF
the most terrific punches that ever one
little man dealt another.
Yesterday local sportsmen were still
talking about that one frightful wallop.
THAT punch would have finished any
weIterweight in the business" was the
way one expert put It.
u believe it would have dropped
plenty OF middlewelghts, agreed his
cOmoanion.
II IS hard 70 account for Corbett's re-
versal of form. unless he was staIling {
trihe when he was here last winter
Then anybody seemed able to stay with
him. Lenny. Boyle, Erne, and Maynard
all went the six rounds. and the cham
pion did not score one knockout. Now
LIS be-INAr Win -ANN11fEA II over anu the
need for little foxy play removed, Cor
bett returns and polishes of his oppo-
nents with the most lightning dis
patch. It IS not question of condition
He was never yet stripped down here
in anything like ,frst-class shape.
AS a general Young Corbett is prob
ably a good deal craftier than he is
usually given credit for. The way he
tricked O'Nen on Wednesday night was
a memorable exhibition
Apparently the champion had not the
least intention Of putting himself out o:
his way TO score a knockout. He wen
his way. coolly. content, it seemed
merely TO outpoint ONel. and get his
money as easily as possible. He even
joked with his opponent. commented on
the heat. and congratulated O'NeiI on
his good showing. II was all with a
purpose. ruse to luu suspicious
Suddenly his opportunity came. Mer-
cilessly as an executioner he flashed
that terrible right over on the long
shorenan's jaw. Then he stood over hin
waiting TO put home one more should the
fallen man by any chance get On his
feet within the ten seconds.

chambers. and called upon the men to
surrender.
Two of them showed a disposition to
run. while the third promptly threw lis
arms up in the air They were led UP
the hill. and informed they were pris-
oners OF war. The captives-Privates
Chains. Smith. and Warner. of the Sig
nal Corps-had been stringlng q line
from the Tort over to the watering
place.
Smith was the enemy who so obliging-
" held up his hands. He and Warner
were model prisoners, but Chains in
formed the general and staff that he
intended to run away. His field glasses
were taken. and Major Ourand kept a
close watch upon him.
Quoted His Enthusiasm.
When the general started of to gain
more information and a better view o:
the fort, Chains began haranguing
afresh. and General Harris instructed
Sergeant Miller. his orderly. to tie the
three men together IL any of them made
attempt to escape. This put a quietus
on Chains. and no more trouble was ex-
perienced with the prisoners of war.
About o'clock the party reached
Balls Bluff. where an interesting fight
took place back In the Sos. A man arm,
ed with field glasses was sent up a tres
to get a line on the fort, and he made
reports every minute or two. General
Harries moved about the hill for G few
minutes. and when It began to rain
started through the woods TO get line
on the stronghold from the other side
as well as to reach Edwards Ferry, and
meet his men.
Leesburg has never before seen such
rain as that OF yesterday. II fell in
sheets and beat down upon the trees and
the men with terrific force. After two
minutes travelling on horseback, every
one Of the party, including one of tbs
war correspondents who had no coat and
wore a straw hat. was drenched to the
skin.
( Major Averill. the chief Of engineers
headed the party. He went to the TOT
! of Balls Bluff. and had wires cut. and
[ other things done. so as TO allow the
band OF gcouters TO pass. In some wa,
the party became turned around. and
great difficulty was experienced in get
1 ting through the thick timber to the
I road leading out to the main pike.
Shoes Water Laden.
General Harries and the entire hand
dismounted several times for fear OF
getting into plain sight of the fort.
When they dismounted each of the party
had from one to three quarts OF water
in his shoes.
After lodging behind trees and houses,
/ and scouting through a pig pen, whsre
the occupants saluted him with three
/ lusty grunts, General Harries landed tho
party on the main road. He was then
apprised OF the fact that the wagon
trains. battery, and infantry had been
circlIng around Balls Bluff all day, and
had just been set right by Adjutant Cen
eral Robbins
The general. disgusted, spoke his mind
and then ordered the party on to Ed
wards Ferry. The men were marched
to a position just a little this side OF
( the ferry, and camped for the night.
They threw up dog tents, spread blan-
kets, ate more bareback and beef. and
had strong coffee to drink. II was only
short time before all Guardsmen were
asleep.

Calvarymen Tagged Out.
Troop f, Second Cavalry, commanded
by Captain Wade, exposed itself to plain
view OF the fort, and Colonel Brett, one
OF the uEpires, ordered it out OF the
fight as soon as it was seen. The troop
was sent back 10 camp Immediately.
Private MaxfeId, Of Troop E, lost his
way while returning to the troop afte:
taking a sick man to the rear. AMI was
picked up by the general and his staff.
He proved a most valuable man in cut
ting wire fences. and scouting. The
general complimented him upon his
shooting and soldIerly qualities. The
shooting was done when a scout was
sighted.
Among other prisoners at the fort is
Lieutenant Niemeyer and his band of
wigwaggers, who were thrown out OF
the fight early in the game. They were
not permitted to string line of tele-
graph line.

Creep Like a Snake.
1T would be we'll, also. according to
my humble opinion, that the guerrillas
should always be outside the towns and
should be IN the roads or outskirts cf
one town or another, to watch the steps
OF the enemy and attack unexpectedly.
The bolomen tmen armed with knives)
also should go eel gapang, (cresping
like a snakel about Manila and Cebu,
devoting themselves to killing enemies
on the edges of the towns, when they
are going about personal business and
do not carry firearms, as, for instance,
when going to battle, to hunt bananas
and cocoanuts, and other articles, as
these parties described are easy Of as
sassInation.
ut would also be we'll. according to
my humble judgment. for you to find out
from the old men and quack doctors
the kind Of poison that can be mixed
In the alcoholic drinks and in the cocoa
nut wine Ctubal, as our enemies now
drink these liquors, and after this poi
son has been known and tried. let it
be used in such a way as to undermine
the constitution OF the man until some
day death occurs; for which purpose you
ought to have persons, wherever there
are Americans. to poison them. These
things are now being done in Luzoa.
Cebu, and Panay.

There is a tree here in the province
whose leaves prick the body OF a man
considerably. once applied, for I have
seen about Manila the leaves converted
into powder. rolled in pellets OF paper,
and shot in the faces OF Americans,
cause the parts to swell and become
completely useless; and 1 believe it
would be well to do this to them within
the towns. and especially to the drunk
