CHAMPION JAMES J. JEFFRlEs
IL HAS LITTLE TROUBLE IN Dis.
POSING OF BUTTE MAN.
Californian Easily Defeated Munroe In
Second Round - Miner Failed to
ie Show cleverness at Any Stage of the
Fight.

&c San Francisco. Cal, Aug. 27.-Like
The yeriest amateur in the prize ring,
Jack Munroe of Butte, Mont, went
down and out before Champion James
Jeffries last night in the second round.
The man from the mining district made
such an extremely sorry showing that
the great throng in Mechanics pavil-
Ion roundly hooted him as he protested
to Referee Graney against the decision
that had been given in favor of JEFF
fries
The two giants had not been in the
ring two minutes when it was foreseen
that the aspirations of Munroe would
be quickly disposed of. The miner was
scared and awkward, and Jeffries in
the first round had him twice on the
canvas taking the count.
"Jeff" Goes for Stomach.
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach of his opponent,
and each shot was followed by blow
on the jaw that sent Munroe to his
knees. Jeffries went back to his cor
ner after the opening round with a
sheer end a laugh on his swarthy face,
while Munroe's seconds busted them
selves with smelling salts and restora.
tives. When the two came together
for the second round the laugh on the
champions visage changed to look of
determination that BODIED Ill to the
miner.
Forty-fve seconds after the gong
sounded Munroe was lying on the floor,
bloody, bruised mass of humanity,
with Jeffries standing over him, ready,
II necessary, to put the quietus on the
championship ambitions of his adver-
sary. The miner was too dazed to rise
to his feet and the timekeepers count
ed him out; but the husky man from
southern California did not understand
THAT the victory was already his, nor
could Munroe realize that his pugilistic
star had SO early set.
Graney Stops Fight.
In a moment or two the two men
were facing one another again, and
Jeffries landed terrific blow on the
jaw of his staggering opponent. It
was at this time that Graney came for
ward and ordered Jeffries away, tell
ing him that the fight was ended in
his favor. Munroe tottered to his cor.
ner with blood streaming from his face
Sand fell into his chair dazed and help
less. His seconds Immediately began
working on him to freshen him, and
when he came to a realization that the
fight had gone against him he arose,
and. going over to, Referee Graney, be-
gan to protest. -
The huge crowd understood from
his protestations, gesticulations, ETC.,
the purport OF his talk to Graney, and
"a mighty volume of jeering and kissing
evidenced the sentiment of the specta-
tors, many of whom had placed money
on the miner that he would stay at
least double the number of rounds be-
fore the champion. From the time the
bell rang for the commencement of the
battle to the time that the count Of
ften had been uttered against Munroe,
only four minutes and forty-fve sec
onds had elapsed.
Crowd Was Immense.
The fight demonstrated, if nothing

Old Spanish Fort.
After lunch we sailed over to Fort

All of the guns have been taken away
and nothing remains but the stone
work. Below in the dungeon we could
still find the eye bolts which were
used to keep prisoners secure. From
there we went to Surmaye, a native
village of about 1000 inhabitants. The
houses are built of thatch-like mater

set on stills about three feet above

A great sport of the natives is fight

hut we saw two or three game cocks

color and have none of the facial char.

They are all devout Catholics and the
