Annoy. China.-A great battle be
tween the imperial troops and rebels
is reported in progress near Swatow.
Thousands of men are engaged No
word has been received here as to
which side has the best of the fighting.
While the movements OF the rebel
and imperial armies are not definitely
known, 1t is believed the soldiers were
able to overhaul the revolutionists in
the race for Swatow 1t is hoped the
troops will be able to prevent the reb'
els from capturing the seaport. but IT
~ admitted by the authorities that the
issue is in doubt.
Fighting in the recent battle while
not long continued, was Of the iiercest
character. In very short engage
ment nearly 900 men fell. The rebels
were heaviest losers in the fight and
quickly retired. II is believed only
their advance guard was engaged and
that with the arrival of reinforcements
the struggle for the possession OF
Swatow was resumed.
That the rebels in the neighborhood
of Swntow far outnumber the troops
IL well known. Reports are that as
many as 10000 armed men are in the
rebel army. 1t is doubtful II the i'm
perial forces number over 1000 men
The soldiers. of course, have the ad
vsntages of training and discipline and
superior arms, but 1t is known that
many former army officers are with
the rebels, and they have been able
to bring the rebel forces TO higher
state of efficiency than usually obtains
among revolutionists.
Throughout China the situation Is
much worse. and every dispatch says
the revolt is spreading. Another rebel
army was reported near Chang Chow
threatening to attack that city, one oi
the largest in Fokien province. Three
provinces are now affected by the re
volt. and agitators have been dis
patched into other provinces to arouse
the natives. II Swatow falls into the
hands of the revolutionists 1t will give
great impetus to the revolutionar,
movement dtsigned TO overthrow the
Manchu dynasty.

with the experiences of the day, went

The Crabclaws are as resentful of
the curiosity of strangers about their
Disagreement as they are of the SUI

Yet none has tried to controvert the

whose dying agony called forth the
words that have wrought their power
through many generations.
They speak of the curse with ba-

These appalling hands, from the
sight OF which children run scream
ing with fright to the protection of
their mothers arms, are prehensile.
They coil themselves about an OBJ
ject with the same surety of hold as
an elephants trunk. The strange
misshapen feet share this peculiar
ability. Their owners can climb like
monkeys. but they cannot walk like
men. Their gait is that of an animal,
with none of its grace. They are
creatures of a blight that has en-
dured-nay, has been cultivated
through generations. They have
hugged their pain to their hearts till
it has grown and prospered.

Began With Two Families.

The entire tribe of Crabclaws had
its origin in two families, the Wrights
and the Robinsons. 1t has been only
in very late years that any normal
individual has found the courage to
enter into wedlock with one of the
community and face the possibilities
of a child whose body should bear the
hideous mark. Hence from father to
son, from mother to daughter has
been handed down this astounding
deformity-a deformity which was
inbred, from which no escape was
possible, save by one of those singu-
lar freaks which in the crossing of
races sometimes leaves one child
white and another black.

BANKS CARRY Big RESERVE

CARSON CITY, July 2S.-.I am
surprised to learn officially of the
condition of the banks of Nevada
said j. P. Marshall, state bank exam
liner, after he had completed a per-
usal of the official returns from most
of the banking institutions of Ne
vada.
The banks of Nevada now carry a
reserve that averages 40 per cent or
10 per cent higher than that requir-
ed of the national banks under the
federal law. Mr.. Marshall has heard
from nearly all of the state banks, in
pursuance of his duties of examin-
ing them twice a year. He is frank
to admit his utter surprise at the
showing made, The institutions not
only carry this huge reserve, but
their loans and securities are as gilt
edged as any in the country.

YOUNG PETER JACKSON Ia
Fight.

Terry Mustain is t. have a chance
TO show what he can do with one of
the top notchers in his division on
Labor day in Goldfeld. Forfeits
have been posted for a finish fight
between Mustain and Young Peter
Jackson of Baltimore. Transporta-
ton has been wired the colored box
er and he should arrive in Nevada
about the last of the week.
The colored lad has fought many
battles and has decisions over such
men as Joe Walcott, Tommy West,
Dan Credon, Mike Donovan, Larry
Temple, Sam Langford, Charley Nc
Keever, In the fall of 1900 Jackson
knocked out Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien and in November. 1902, he
fought a draw with Jack Twin"
Sullivan in Boston. In December,
1905, Terry's opponent met Jack
Johnson, the present colored heavy
weight champion in Baltimore and
after twelve rounds of the ~iercest
fighting ever seen in the east. the
battle was declared a draw.
Jimmy Handler, who is now anus
ing the fight fans at the Casino
nightly, was one of Jackson's first
opponents. Before Jimmy started to
slip down the ladder of fame, he
had quite a reputation throughout
the east and his services were often
in demand. Early In 1901 Young
Peter put Jimmy out in nine rounds
and later in the same year the two
men fought a draw of eighteen
rounds duration. In his last fight
with Handler on the first OF the wear.
1902, Jimmy took the count in two
rounds and that was Handlers last
big fight in the east. One of Jack
sons first fights which brought him
prominently before the fighting pub
lie, was with Tom Tracy, the .A,ls-
tralian middleweight, and the show
ing he made in this fight brought
him to the notice of Al Herford. who

later became his manager.
Young Peter Jackson was born in
1877 in Baltimore and fought his
first fight in 1895, so that he has
been fighting for the last thirteen
years. During that time he has
Fought 1OS battles and has been sue
cessful in most of them. He will
make an excellent opponent for Ter
ry Mustain, and if the Tonopah how
defeats him, he should be able to
land a good match somewhere on
the coast.
The Labor day fight should draw a
big crowd as Tonopah will celebrate
n fine style on that date. Charley
Miller is giving his man light work
SO that Terry will not need very long
to train. Several of the sporting
fraternity at Goldfeld are backing
Young Peter Jackson and are willing
to put up a big side bet that the
negro will defeat the Tonopah lad.

G. S. Johnson of Goldheld. who

Manhattan on Monday night, car
ried with him a piece of rock which
was the real lode porphyry. The
ore came from the lease of the Mo-
hawk Leasing company, of which
Mr.. Johnson is the leading spirit, and
was broken into on the last shot of
that day. Mr.. Johnson was feeling
quite good over the find. for it Is
evidently from the same ledge that
the Kalfus and Ish-Sheets combined
leases are taking in the neighbour
hood of 100000 a week.
