 When the sun rose it was a solid bank of clouds but as the day advanc- ed blue patches of sky appeared here and there, bringing hope of fine weather to the fighters. promoters and thousands Of men who had Journ- eyed to Havana to witness the big battle.
 Havana has been stirred by this event more than by any other thing in recent years and dawn found the city full awake to the unusual occur renee of the day.
 Downtown fight headquarters were crowded with ticket buyers and the morning saw the arrival in Havana of wealthy Cubans from all over the island.
 Johnson and Willard both were up early. The champion prepared cooIIy to defend his title. His only indica- tions of nervousness was over the exact moment Jack Orley and other packers of the fight would arrive at Headquarters with the $30,00 cash named in the negro's contract as signed in Paris. This very important event was set for 11o'c1ock. Johnson chatted and laughed with the men about him during his preparations for the trip to the ring as if he had not a care in the world.
 This supreme self-confidence is rated as one of the champions best assets, especially against a man of nervous temperament. Willard re- tired early last night and declared this morning he had had a refreshing sleep.

Summary
 OF THE w ar News

Loss of another unit of the al- lied fleet which is attacking the DardanelIes is reported from Athens. by way of Berlin. The British battleship Lord Nelson is said to have been stranded in the straits and then destroyed by the Turkish forts
 A German submarine sank the British steamer Olivine off the Isle of Wight yesterday. The Russian vessel, whose sinking was made known last night, was iden- tified today as the bark Hermes. The crews of both ships escaped.
 Two German submarines were destroyed and the naval construc- ton yards at Hoboxen damaged badly. It is said that 4o Ger mans were killed and 6 2 wounded.
 The German official statement says several attacks by Belgians and French yesterday were re- pulsed.
 NotWithstanding official dent- aIs, it is believed in Rome that there is a basis for the report Turkey and possibly Austria are considered the initiation of peace negotiations. In this connection significance is attached to the presence in Switzerland Of DJa. vid Pasha, Turkish minister of finance.
 Official denial was made at Vienna last week that peace ne gotiations were being considered.
 An official statement from the Turkish war office says that the Turkish fleet has sunk two Rus sian ships on the Black Sea near Odessa It is said also that a naine-sweeper which attempted to approach the entrance to the Dardanelles was destroyed.
 Serbian losses in the border lighting with Bulgarian irregu- lars are placed at Nish at 126 men killed or wounded. The Bulgarian force, 1t is said, amounted to about one and one- half regiments.
 Beyond the bare admission that the Austrian forces In the Bes- kids have been compelled to re- treat, Vienna has given no indi- cation of the status of affairs along that section of the Hun garian frontier. There is as yet no indication whether Hungary is threatened seriously with inva- sion. The Russian war office not only claims a great success in Beshfds but asserts that defln- ite advantages have been gained over the Germans in northern Poland.
