REGRET B0MBARDMENT.
THE M4R4C4IBO FIGHT.
Peaceful Settlement Of Venezueian
Trouble Probably Delayed


Washington, Jan. 19-Universal regret was
expressed widely in official quarters to-day at
the renewal Of hostifities and the second bonn
bardment of Fort San Carlos by German war
ship. 1t felt to be particularly unfortunate
tfat the affair should have occurred almost
at the moment that Mr.. Bowen arrived
In this country, clothed with full authority to
act for Venezuela in arranging satisfactory
settlement of the allies claims. The uncertain
quantity in the affair, pointed out. lies
in the popular sentiment of Venezueans, and
the bombardment is believed to imperil the
progress of peaceful settlement. For it is
thought that if the early unofficial reports.
which record a loss of life on the German war
ship. are correct, then a punitive expedition In
force to avenge the earlier defeat is to be ex-
pected.
This new outbreak of hostiities, opening as
it does wide range of possible compiica-
tions, calls forth common sentiment OF regret
from officials. The expression of this feellns Is
of course guarded: in fact it is more matter
of atmosphere than of definite criticism But
Intangible as the sentiment is at the same
time it is to be felt on all sides. The announce
ment of the news provoked a sudden burst Oh
feeling. which quickly subsided into diplomatic
calmness. What is most deeply depiored Is
that just as the trouble seemed to be approach
ing a peaceful solution there should be a new
outbreak which might undo all that had neen
accomplished
The fact that the venezuelans have almost
completely submitted to the demands OF the al
lies and consented to meet their claims is be-
lieved to demonstrate Castro's desire to aVola
a conflict but how far he will be able to main
tain his pacific attitude in the face OF actuaI
warfare such as a bombardment indicates Is
matter of grave doubt here The old anxiety
and apprehension of few weeks ago have peen
a awakened and the affair is depored on all
sides At the same time a disposition is shown
tn await more definite news before forming a
postive opinion The State Department was
without official information of the lombard
ment throughout the day.

KID BROAD WHIPPED.

New Orleans. La, Nov. 27.-"Kid" Broad met more than his match in Kid" Mowatt, the Chicago fighting conductor, and at the end of the ten round bout was almost down and out. Mowatt outpointed his rival from the start to the finish in one of the fastest fights ever seen in this city.
 The principals lost no time mixing it up, and once the gong sounded for the first round 1t was fierce struggle, with the Clicagoan taking the best go- ing throughout. Broad put up game scrap and meant to win, but he could not give half the punishment he re- ceived. The large crowd applauded his display of brute endurance and limited skill, which could not be compared with Mowatt's exhibition.
 From the fifth to the eighth round Mowatt had Broad at his mercy and had it not been for the 1atter's remark able stamina the fight would not have lasted half. as long
 When the men toed the scratch in the eighth round Broad appeared weak and groggy, and a punch or two would have counted him out, but Mowatt was unequal to the occasion. Every time the Chicagoan shot his right at the Cleve- lander the latter would execute a clever duck.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 26. - Cornell scored an easy victory in the fifth re- newal of the intercollegiate cross coun- try championship, six miles over the Travers island course and through ad- jacent woods in the vicinity of New Rochelle. In all thirty-nine athletes started. and of these thirty-four fin- ished, but H. M. Frank of Princeton, who was the twenty-fifth man to get home, was disqualified for failing to take the water jump, Cornell having five representa- lives in the first six. W. E. Schutt, the intercollegiate two mile champion, was first across the line, his time being B minutes 15 seconds, which is 52 seconds behind the time made by John Joyce, winner of the na- tional championship over the same course three weeks ago. In that race Schutt fipished third, and his time was 3S seconds better than that in which he completed the six miles run. Cornell had seven representatives in the con- test, and they all finished in the first dozen. W. J. Hail of Yale finished third, and King of Harvard, bleeding freely from the effects of a bad fall. got home in seventh position. Cornell not alone took the team honors, but all of her men crossed the tape before any of the representatives of Columbia, Princeton or Pennsylvania.

FITzsIMMoNs. GOT DECISION.

Fitzsimnons and Gardner did not draw crowded house when they bat tied for the light heavyweight cham plonship before the Yosemite Athletic club Wednesday night. The fight, Which was q tame one, went the limit, 70 rounds, and Fftzsimmons was given the decision.
 The big pavilion was only fairly filled, a great contrast to the usual state of affairs when Fitssimmons has fought here before. "Lanky Bob' has always been great favorite here, al- though the contest did not fill the arena to it's utmost capacity. Fitz- simmons was installed a favorite in the betting.
 During the day he ruled favcrite at 10 to 9, but toward evening the rumor circulated that he was not in prime condition, and Gardner went up to fa- vorite. Later Fitzsimmons admirers came forward with their coin, and when the men entered the ring the bet. ting was 10 to 9 in Fitzsimmons' ia, vor. The 5000 people were, with few exceptions, from San Francisco.
 The 'wlse ones," calculating on Gard ner's youth and strength, played him to win. Both men weighed close to 1888 pounds, though Gardner was bit the heavier.

 The City Normal school defeated the St Mary's school football team by a score of 19 to 6. The feature of the game was the brilliant playing of Will liam McKeon, Joe Cosgrove, Percy Sanzero and William Rose The St Mary's team put up a. hard fight, but could, not overpower the City Normal players. The City Normal team would also like to thank Card, who did wonderful work in tackling. McKeon was the great punter of the day and Rose and Sanzero were the great rushers of the day. Hanchett, the center, threw the ball with perfec- ton. No accident happened during the game.
 During the first half the City Nor malls made one touchdown and kicked one goal. The St Mary's made none, but during the second half the City Normal school made two more touch downs, one safety and kicked one goal. The St Mary's made a touchdown and kicked another goal.
