for Its Favorite Pug.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Jan. 27.-Jack
O'Neil, OF Philadelphia, will probably be
signed to meet Charlie Neary at the Pan
Drama building Feb 5, when the Badger
Athletic club gives its how. The men, if
matched, will weigh at 100 pounds at 8
o'clock. Jimmy Briggs is also wanted. and
it is possible that it may be the Chelsea,
Mass man who will meet Neary, but the
club management is believed to prefer
O'Neil because of the recent defeat Of
Briggs by Dave Sullivan
Jack O'NeH has never fought in the
West but he has several creditable VIC
tories to his credit in the East, and the
fact that he stayed six rounds with
Young Corbett in Philadelphia and made
an excellent showing. brought him into
particular prominence.
The manager of the Badger Athletic
club say that they have had Neary's sig
nature to contract to fight at their Feb
ruary show for several days, but George
Schoepperle, Neary's manager. said the
local boxer wanted to rest awhile before

RUSSIANS SEEM RESIGNED.
Do Not Expect to Accomplish Much
on the Sea.

VII IuS 0Sds .I
st. Petersburg, Feb. 29.-The block
ade of Port Arthur continues. The
Russians seem resigned for the pres
n not to expect to accomplish much
BY sea, realizing that the Port Arthur
fleet is overmatched in both ships and
guns. but they hint that things may
be different in the spring if the Bal
tic fleet goes out and effects a juno
ture with that at Port Arthur.
Serious consideration also is being
given to the feasibility spending $5,-
100000 on torpedo boats to be sent in
sections to Vladivostock and Port Ar
thur. Three hundred mechanics and
dockyard artiticers were sent to the
far East last week and experts de-
clare that the boats could be built,
sent and fitted out there in eight
months.
After all, however, the hopes and
hearts of the Russians are centered in
their army and, with General Kuro-
patkin at it's head, although he has
not faced a foe since the siege of
Plevna, victory is considered assured.
The war excitement here and
throughout Russia generally seems to
be dying down. The patriotic Demon
strations Shich everywhere followed
the outbreak of hostilities have been
succeeded by calmness on the part of
the people.

NINETEEN JAPs CAPTURED.
Reached Shore From Hulks Sunk Off
M Port Arthur,

Yinkow, Feb. 29.-The first reports
by eye witnesses of the engagement at
Port Arthur in the early morning of
Wednesday last have been received
here. They say that one Japanese
coal hulk was sunk and n beached
near the Retvizan and that nineteen
Japanese in civilian clothes reached
shore and made prisoners. The
Askold and Bayan approached the
Japanese feet and then retired, being
unable to entice the enemy to engage
them. From a long range two shells
struck in the city.
The Retvizan is serviceable as an
auxiliary fort, but the foreign engineer
has abanl1led the hope of raising her,
as the patching on the forty cleft made
by a Japanese torpedo has given way
and stopped progress; and the Rus
sian engineers have interfered with
the original plans Of raising the YES
sci.
The Czarevitch is kept afloat by
constant pumping; the Novik has
been repaired and the Pallada has
been locked.
Repeated attacks by the Japanese
during the past week have resulted in
the constant shifting of the troops,
including the naval contingent or
ganized from the crews of the dis
abled and idle warships, to all parts
Of the defenses and also to the hinter-
land.
Refugees who have arrived here re-
port that the Russians momentarily
fear a land investment Of Port Arthur
from Pigeon Bay.

cisco W the Japanese government
Owe the news dispatches Of foreign
correspondents, Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister to Great Britain,
said Sunday:
II have had numerous representa-
tions from English and other newspa-
pers upon this subject, but l believe
u position in this matter is not only
right. but will be admitted to be cor
rect by those looking into the subject.
1--WE are fighting against numerical
odds, out of proportion to the odds
against any combatant in recent wars.
We are fighting for our existence and
our hope of maintaining it is to strike
swiftly and secretly at the beginning.
To get in the first blows means more
to us than, | think, it ever meant to
any belligerent and to insure this it
is vital for us to demand a degree of
secrecy which has not been necessary
in any recent warfare. Even at the
risk Of alternating temporarily the
friendship Of the press of the world,
we must prevent ven a whisper of
our real intentions reaching our pow
erful enemy. When you fight for life
everything else becomes of minor i'm
portance."
The baron said the Japanese papers
published even less than others about
the war. because of the censorship.

RUSSIA DEFEATED ON THE SEA.
Japs Are Now Disarming Their AuxiI-
larry Cruisers.

Toxic, Feb. 29.-On account of Ad-
miral Togo's success at Port Arthur,
the reopening of the sea to Japanese
merchantmen and the revival of ship
ping, the Japanese government does
not anticipate that it will have further
need for the auxiliary cruisers Amer
lea Maru and Yawata Maru, and they
will be disarmed and returned to their
owners.
Nothing now prevents the America
Maru from resuming her place on the
San Francisco line and the Yawata
Maru on the Australian.
In preparing for war, Japan armed a
big feet of fast auxiliary cruisers on
account of the equality of naval
strength between the Russians and
Japanese, but it is believed that the
auxiliary cruisers are no longer need
ed. 1t is expected other auxiliary YES
sells will be disarmed and released.

MUNROE DEFEATS SHARKEY.
Miner outfights the Sailor in Six
Round Battle.

Philadelphia. Feb. 29.-Jack Nun
roe, the Butte miner, outfought Tom
Sharkey in their six-round bout at the
Second Regiment armory in this city
Saturday night.
Munroe stepped from the ring with
out a mark, while both of Sharkey's
eyes were badly swollen from vicious
right and left swings CT the Butte
miner. In only one round, the first,
did Sharkey have any advantage over
Munroe. After this the battle was al
most wholly in Munroe's favor. When
Munroe began to find the sailors
stomach Sharkey became wild, and
nearly all of his leads went around
Munroe's neck. No decision is allow
ed in this city. The general opinion
seems to be that Jeffries will now be
called upon to defend the champion
ship against Munroe.
