Jeffries Retires.

Chicago.-James ]. Jeffries, cham
pion heavyweight pugilist of the
world, has retired. Disease accom-.
plished what no human being was
ever able to do. A combination of
rheumatism and malaria fever has put
the pugilist out of the fighting game
for all time, according to an an
nOuncement made by Jeffries, who
has cancelled all his theatrical engage
ments and started for California in
an effort to regain his health. Jeffries
is going to Los Angeles, where he in
tends to build a home. In the future
it is his intention to devote his time
to several valuable mining claims he
and one of his brothers possess in
Arizona.
Before leaving for the Pacific coast
Jeffries said:
Thank God, am through with box
ing. | have suffered more pain during
the last few days than in all my fights
put together. Understand, | am not
of malaria and rheumatism, but l have
decided to retire from the prize ring
[ have two reasons for taking this
course. My present physical condition
is one. and the other is because there
seems to be no one in sight to meet
me capable of giving the public a run
for it's money"
Billy Delaney, Jeffries' manager,
and who practically brought Jim Cor
bett to the front, will retire from the
pugilistic field along with the cham
pion.

JOLO island fight
U. S. TROOPS UNDER GENERAL
WOOD FIGHT PHILIPPINES.
Moro Chief Pala, With 600 Men Well
Armed, Give BattIe-They Prefer
Death to Capture-Have Lost 800
Already-Pala and His Band Are
Undoubtedly Doomed.

Manila, May 16.-Serious fighting
has been going on the past two weeks
on the island of Jolo between the out
law Moro Chief Pala. with GOO men
well armed and troops under the per.
sonal command of Major General
Leonard Wood Palas losses thus far
are 300 killed, while those of General
Wood are seven killed and 10 wound
ed. Pala and his remaining follow
ers, according to sworn tradition, pre-
fer death to capture.
The troops under General Wood
have driven Pala and his followers
into a swamp, which has been sur
rounded.
Pala was a noted slave trader and
warrior when the Americans occupied
the islands. Later he escaped with
his followers to the island of Pulse
kar, near Borneo.
While on this island one of Pala's
leaders escaped to a neighboring is
land. Pala made a demand on the
government of the island for his re-
turn, but was refused. Pala then or
dered massacre of all the inhabi-
tants of the island, and in the fight
ing which followed 20 persons were
killed. Pala then escaped to the
island of Jolo. and upon a request
from the governor of Borneo for
Pala's capture and return to Borneo
General Wood undertook to carry out
the request, with the above results.
Pala and his band will undoubted-
ly be captured, dead or alive.

FLEETS GETTING CLOSE.

Hong Kong, May 17.-From infor-
nation received here it is now believed
that the Baltic feet is now anchored
off st. Johns island, one of the two
islands owned by France, 90 miles
southwest of this place and 800 miles
north of Kamranh bay. If this report
is true it shows that the Russians are
within 400 miles of Admiral Togo's
base in the Pescadores group Two
days steaming would bring them to-
gethor.
That the Russian fleet had sailed
norhward from the vicinity of Honko-
he bay early in the morning of May ID,
is the latest news available in London
rearding the movements of Vice ADJ
miral Rojestvensky.
During great storm several days
ago the japanese converted cruiser
Nokho, was damaged by striking a reef
off Fusan.
1t is said that during the last month
the Russian warships consumed $780,
600 tons of coal and adds that where
it was obtained is a mystery.
A correspondent says that it has been
ascertained that the Russian fleet es-
tablisehd a wireless station on French
territory and communicated with st.
Petersburg by the way of Saigon.

TAMPERING WITH MAIL.
U. S. Inspectors Case Interests the
President.

hington.-President Roosevelt
is manifesting a particular interest in
the case of Marcus Braun, a special
inspector of the United States immi-
grafton service, who is having trouble
with officials of the Austro-Hungarian
government, whom he charges with
tampering with his official mail. In
spector Braun complained of his treat,
T. ent to Ambassador Storrer, who ca
bled to the state department some
details of the situation.
The charge is made specifically by
Mr.. Braun that the Hungarian
government is paying the steamship
companies a large sum each year to
bring immigrants to this country and
also that the immigrants are being
urged not to become American citi-
Zens.
The president cabled for the reports
of Inspector Braun, and will go over
them himself. Tampering with the
mail of an official in a foreign coun-
try is a serious matter, and there is no
disposition on the part of officials of
the department of commerce and labor
to treat the complaint of Inspector
Braun lightly.

methods are even more direct and
his replies, when pressed to the
point of giving categorical answers
are considerably more blunt than
those of the Secretary of State.
When the President went away he
informed the members of the di-

they could communicate with SEC
